Whenever there's a really hurtful relationship pattern going on,

usually we stay because we're getting something out of it,

whether it's finances, contact, we get sex, we get love and approval,

we get attention, we get to be with someone versus being alone, which for a lot of us is a

higher priority to be with someone even though it's mediocre than to be alone because that feels

scarier, especially the older we get. Hey what's up and welcome back to another episode of the

Relationship Schools Podcast where we teach you how to have successful

fulfilling long-term relationships.

That could be friendships, family relationships, or partnerships.

That's what we take a stand for here.

All right, hopefully you're getting by now if you've been around this podcast that there's a lot of great content in here.

And if you focus on the action step at the end of each episode and you actually do it, your life and your

relationships are probably improving to some degree, right?

So this is free and available to anyone. Please share with a friend that's

in need right now, especially if they're open to it. If they're open to getting help, if they're not open to

getting help, I wouldn't recommend that. And yeah, thank you for subscribing. Thanks for

your reviews on iTunes. We've got hundreds of reviews, five-star reviews on iTunes, and just wanted to say

thanks to over 25 and counting, who basically has been married to my husband in high school sweetheart for almost 27 years.

And this person goes on and on to say, man, we've been through a lot, we've healed, we've grown.

Sometimes I listen twice. I can already

feel relief. I can already see how my husband and I are using practical logical tools to

navigate our relationship more positively.
