Send us a text

It’s easy for someone to look at your relationship and think that it should not be lasting as long as it does. You may even know that the relationship your end should end and you don’t know why you haven’t left us yet. Or perhaps you did find a courage and strength to walk away from it but you still wonder if they’ll come back and if things could work out differently or as you hope. Why does this happen?


In this episode, we are looking at why we logically know the relationship should end but why our emotions keep us stuck. And at the end of this episode, you are going to have tips that you could use to move forward.
