Can I live for the rest of my life in this relationship as it is today and experience a wonderful life and experience the happiness, the peace, the joy that I want to experience.

Is that possible in my current relationship if nothing changed from the way it is today.

And if the answer is no, the question to ask is, so therefore it needs to change or I need to leave.

What evidence do I have that this is going to change?

And that's a question you have to ask very, very soberly.

There's a biased judge in here that wants to do what's comfortable, not what's going to make you happy.

And you have to be very careful of not listening to that judge.

Matthew Hussey, welcome to my podcast.

Thank you for having me.

I've been excited about this. This should be very good. I have so many questions and I've been following you for a while. So this should be good.

Before we before I'd like hammer you with a whole bunch of questions, can you give a brief background about who you are and what it is you do.

Yeah, man, I always worry about this question because I never have I feel like a great answer for it. I started out 15 years ago with an organization that was designed to help women in their love lives.

You know, it was quite it started out as a very practical kind of experiment, which was, you know, women have a lot of questions for their love lives that don't seem to be being answered by cosmopolitan.

So, you know, can I actually be of more help and, you know, I read a lot of women's books on dating and relationships and I found some of it to be questionable in its approach.

And so I started to take a different approach that was just very practical, very logical to how women could get better results in their love lives, everything from finding a person attracting them and having a great relationship.

That put me on a journey of coaching and to tell you the truth, it was never really dating that was my passion, it was people and it gave me a platform that built quite quickly through my 20s and that's allowed me to reach a lot of people with ideas and now I'm in the privileged position of being able to not have to talk about dating constantly and still have an audience even when I'm not.
