About this episode

Why does the end of a passionate short-term romance sometimes feel more devastating than a longer-term relationship?

In today’s episode, I’ll show you the best way to move on from a short-term romance and stop obsessing over “the person who got away.” ►► Access My Happiness After heartbreak Series for FREE by Pre-Ordering Your Copy of Love Life Now at. . . → http://www.HeartbreakSeries.com ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► FREE Video Training: “Dating With Results” → http://www.DatingWithResults.com
