This is for anyone who is currently romantically involved with someone who is not treating you well and you are taking it, and it hurts. You know it\u2019s not right but you can\u2019t seem to leave it for some reason. This situation betrays your foundational values, and in staying in it, you betray yourself and what\u2019s important to you. What do you want for your future? Because you get to decide what\u2019s important to you. That\u2019s what this episode is about. Are you tolerating and accepting less than what you want from another? Are you giving more and receiving less? Are you operating on less than a trustworthy bond? Are you dating someone who won\u2019t commit to you or maybe they don\u2019t want the same things you want but you\u2019re still hanging around \u201cjust because you don\u2019t have anything better at the moment.\u201d Maybe you are in a committed relationship but you want more \u2013 you want better \u2013 you want this to go to the next stage: moving in, getting married, or just better treatment \u2013 but this person is \u201ccomplicated\u201d and it\u2019s not how they roll. Maybe you break up occasionally but always end up getting back together. Maybe they decide they need a break and then they come back again as soon as you become too visibly independent. In case you are wondering, yes, this is for every gender and all kinds of relationships because it\u2019s a topic that relates to your relationship with yourself. It doesn\u2019t have to be a guy doing this to a girl \u2013 everyone can be squirrely and everyone can want and expect a real relationship from a person they choose to share their life and soul with. It\u2019s all a valid and realistic dream and goal to have. And it\u2019s something you choose for yourself. It\u2019s a common situation to be in for an adult. You end up in a relationship that\u2019s not aligned with what you want for yourself and you can\u2019t figure out an exit and you just kind of get stuck. What I am going to do is hopefully enlighten you as to why you\u2019re there and what needs to change for you to confront the change that needs to happen for you to get to where you\u2019re meant to be. Where are you meant to be? In a mutually loving and supportive relationship based on the terms and values that you choose for yourself. So, with someone who deserves your love. So let\u2019s go there together, shall we? Emma this one is written for you. I hope it changes the way you see things so that you can change what it is that has you stuck, presently. xo!
