The Real Reason Your Ex Broke Up With Yo...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

There are 5 words no one wants to hear: “It’s not you, it’s me . . .” But the moment we hear that, we don’t believe it. We figure they just don’t want to tell us the real reason. We wonder: “Did they feel we had a lack of chemistry? Was it something I said? Were their friends pressuring them to break up with us?” Our mind starts to spiral and we analyze every single thing we might have done “wrong.” In today’s episode, I share 3 reasons why it truly isn’t about you (REALLY!) and how you can use that knowledge to move on from heartbreak faster.
