Summary

How do you know when it's time to break up? Knowing when to end a relationship can be confusing, especially when there are good parts — and maybe even hope for the future. Some people are clear that they're done with the relationship, but worry that the realities of single life could be harder than trudging on in the marriage.

If you're in this bind, today's episode is for you. We're tackling questions like:

How can you get clarity and confidence around whether to end a relationship?
What are the signs that hope and growth is still possible (even if it hasn't happened yet?)
What are the "no-hope" red flags that you need to listen to?
What if you want to break up, but feel guilty about it?
What do you do if you’re unhappy in your relationship, but are facing practical realities such as co-parenting concerns or financial consequences if you separate?

All that and more, plus insights, thought provoking questions, and action steps to help you move forward one way or another, on this episode of the podcast.

xoxo,

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
