The Stages of Change When Leaving an Unhealthy Relationship - 12 Week Relationships Podcast #26 

I just found your channel and I am so grateful for your amazing insights. I just ended a 14-year relationship 7 days ago. We've had challenges throughout due to his temper, arrogance, and verbal abuse. But the good times were absolutely amazing. I hold them close to my heart but I know I have to pack them away while I grieve. Everything you've discussed, especially the pre- compilation, is spot on.I had been thinking about ending things after realizing that the relationship was non reciprocal and some of my basic emotional needs weren't being meant. I knew the conversation wasn't going to be favorable, so it would be easy to break things off. I'm very patient and try for positive outcomes when it comes to matters of the heart. He's usually pretty defensive and gaslights. Well, things went EXTREMELY bad quickly. I blocked his number right after our argument because he said some very vial and hurtful things. At that point I didn't want to read another message. It's been a week, and he hadn't responded to my text; maybe he blocked. I know my heart doesn't lie. It's time for me to move on. It's a relationship that I had no business investing in to begin with. I've already scheduled an appointment with a therapist to help me get through this rough time.

Recently ended a friendship w our neighbors. I kept thinking they were just in a tough spot. Years later they're still in the same place w lack of employment and borrowing from family after both quitting their jobs. They've addiction issues and make too many comparisons with possessions but far in debt and help from family. We stopped inviting them over and eventually refused their invitations. So much time wasted and still hard because it is mixed with good and bad but now realizing how disruptive they were to our happiness peace and joy.

I am so glad this video exists. So helpful ❤

But what about co-dependents like me?? I feel like I’m dying. I initiated the break up with my bf of four years about three, almost four weeks ago, and I can’t stop crying and thinking about begging him to come back even tho the relationship was totally toxic, especially after we moved in together a year and a half ago

I should have left her, the minute she asked me if I was looking the cashier 🤦. She was very immature and insecure. Guess she wanted a father figure and was love bombing at first... I couldn't do it.. I kicked her out, but I got lost in her lust, and I suffered at the end...
