She breaks down what it means to be settling in your relationship and gives some real-life examples to look out for. Alex explains the difference between being comfortable and complacent and why a stagnant relationship is actually toxic. She talks about the importance of growing alongside your partner, being open with your wants and needs, and why never getting into arguments isn’t the flex you think it is.
