Summary
Have you ever wondered when it's time to leave vs when it's time to keep working on yourself while staying? Today, we delve into the complex question of when it's time to leave a relationship versus when to keep working on yourself while staying. It's a dilemma that many bravehearts face, unsure of whether they should continue their personal growth within the confines of their current partnership or take the courageous step of moving on.
Join us as we explore five powerful indicators that your relationship may no longer be aligned with your personal journey, and learn practical strategies on what to do when faced with these signs. Just because the world may be advising you to leave doesn't necessarily mean you're meant to exit right this moment.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to How to Get Over Your Ex, episode number 197, when to leave a relationship. |
| 0:10.3 | Welcome to How to Get Over Your Ex, a podcast on getting over your ex without it just taking time. |
| 0:22.7 | I'm your host, breakup coach Dorothy. Let's turn your pain into power and your heartbreak into happy. |
| 0:30.1 | Hello, beautiful brave hearts. How is everyone doing? So a couple of weeks ago, we released a podcast episode with my client, Jewel, who talked about |
| 0:40.4 | her continuously trying to make her relationship work, working on herself, and really how |
| 0:45.9 | that impacted her heart healing journey and her breakup. |
| 0:48.8 | And many of you reached out talking about how much you resonated with her experience. |
| 0:55.9 | And what I thought might be really useful is to talk about this a bit more tangibly by exploring some indicators that help |
| 1:02.1 | you understand if your relationship is no longer aligned for you versus should I do work on myself |
| 1:09.6 | within the confines of your relationship. I think a lot of us |

| 1:37.1 | inside of the Get Over Yarks program that haven't actually left their relationships or their partners |
| 1:41.6 | yet. They haven't really been able to follow through on a breakup. |
| 1:45.9 | They know isn't, you know, right for them. And so they want to do the work while still in the |
| 1:50.9 | relationship. And I applaud them for that because in my mind, if you accomplish one, emotional |
| 1:56.9 | freedom and two, knowing you create any result you want in your life, which is the |
| 2:02.1 | outcomes you create inside of that program, you're either going to get clearer about leaving and |
| 2:07.1 | leave with ease, or you're going to get closer in your relationship because you aren't relying on |
| 2:11.9 | your partner. Or potentially both. Maybe you get closer in that relationship and you both equally |
