Summary

The topic of this episode is "How Many Chances?".  How many more chances are you going to give this relationship? How many times are you going to get back together with your partner after breaking up?  How many more times are you going to get on this carousel where it feels like you are just going in circles?

I'm going to lay out the main reasons why people have a hard time letting go...and why it's so important to start looking at these reasons from a different perspective.
