Summary

1. How Glennon and Abby transitioned from the “falling in love” phase to “landing in love” at different times—and how Glennon felt “bamboozled” by it. 2. How the self-inflicted guilt of pursuing joy ruins everything. 3. Why a precious gift from Abby made Glennon feel like she’d finally landed in the right galaxy. 4. How the things about our partners that drive us nuts are the same things that attracted us to them.

0:00.0	Hi everybody. You came back to We Can Do Hard Things. We're thrilled about that. Today,
0:17.4	we are answering your questions, but we're going to start today by talking a little bit
0:21.4	more about love. Our last episode was all about falling in love and the wild experience
0:28.6	that that is. And then the landing in love, which we discussed as the second part of love,
0:35.7	when the chemical imbalance of falling in love starts to rebalance and we're left with ourselves
0:40.4	once again, when the real love starts. And how, if we don't know better, we could think that love
0:50.9	has ended when really it's kind of like the work of love actually begins. So one of the things that
0:57.6	people ask us a lot is when did we know? Like when did you know that you were in love with me? And
1:07.5	sister is doing the the air quotes, the air quotes because she doesn't believe in knowing or or
1:13.3	anything. She just you can stop the sentence that doesn't believe. She doesn't believe. Yeah,
1:21.0	like if sister were Ted Lasso, she would have a big sign over the locker room that says don't

1:43.7	that we first met where we were just like what is happening? That wasn't when we knew. We just
1:48.5	knew something was up, but we didn't. When did you know? Well, I think we knew in retrospect,
1:54.4	like thinking about what was going on that night because there was a lot of confusing
1:59.1	feelings happening. Like what is this? Like why do I what's going on here? Man reject for the listener
2:05.2	because it sounds like you had some like hot sweaty amazing night. This was at a librarians conference
2:12.3	where they just happened to notice each other from across the way. So I mean, that's what we're
2:17.9	referring to here. Not like that night in the way that some most of us understand what that means.
2:23.7	No, no, we literally had zero time alone together. We were in front of of thousands of librarians
