Should You Break Up With Your Partner?

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Hey Lifers!
Poor Laura has come down with either gastro or food poisoning today so (one of) the boss(es) is away and the mice will play!
Producer Keeshia is filling in today.
Britt went on a magical holiday to Hamilton Island and met Skippy but also potentially ruined someone's wedding photos.
Have you accidentally ruined someone's special day? Have you had a failed proposal? 

We take a deep dive today on how to know whether you should break up with your partner. A bunch of experts put together a list of signs and we also added a few questions of our own like:
-Am I staying in this relationship out of fear of being alone?
-Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than you should have? What kept you there?
-How do you distinguish between a rough patch and a fundamental incompatibility in a relationship?
-Do you think happiness is a good indicator of the relationship?

We spoke about these episodes in this chat:

Fix the Sex, Fix the Relationship - Uncut with Ester Perel
How to manage a break up - Uncut with Jillian Turecki

The original list was published here in women's health magazine
