Why They Left - Inside The Mind of the One Who Ended It Ep. 86

In this episode, we dive into a crucial yet often overlooked stage in relationships—the period before a breakup. While there's plenty of advice on what to do after a breakup, today, we're focusing on the internal process someone goes through when they start to consider whether their relationship is still right for them. We'll explore the doubts, the inner conflicts, and the stages of deliberation that lead up to the decision to end a relationship.

We also touch on insights from Esther Perel, who reminds us that relationships involve three entities: you, your partner, and the relationship itself. It's crucial to nurture all three, but when one is neglected, it can lead to significant issues down the line.

If you've ever been on the receiving end of a breakup and felt confused or blindsided, this episode will offer you a new perspective. We'll unpack the typical stages someone might go through when contemplating a breakup, from feeling discontent to mentally weighing the pros and cons, to the fears and uncertainties they might face.

Whether you're currently in a relationship or still processing a past breakup, this episode is full of insights that can help you understand what might have been going on for your ex or even prepare you to navigate similar situations in the future.
