| 0:00.0 | You are listening to How to Get Over Your Ex, episode number 31, having fun versus feeling sorry for myself. |
| 0:23.3 | Welcome to How to Get Over Your Ex, a podcast on getting over your ex without it just taking time. |
| 0:25.5 | I'm your host, breakup coach Dorothy. |
| 0:29.0 | Let's turn your pain into power and your heartbreak into happy. |
| 0:33.2 | Hello, hello, my loves. |
| 0:35.0 | How is everyone doing? |
| 0:43.0 | I miss you guys. I legit feel like I know each of you. And obviously, that's not necessarily true. But I really care for all of you as much as I care for my best |
| 0:50.3 | friends. And it really just means the world to me to be a part of your journey. So thank you |
| 0:55.4 | for being here and listening in today. I love you all so, so much. So today I want to talk to |
| 1:04.0 | you about one of my clients who is just killing it. Soon I'll have to really start having some of my clients come on and talk with all |

| 1:43.1 | and then split it off again and she caught him in |
| 1:45.0 | the act with another girl shortly after. So she came to me because she was just so upset about the |
| 1:50.1 | fact that she took the marriage more seriously than him. So she also thought it was, you know, |
| 1:55.6 | like a commitment for life, whereas that wasn't the case for him. So a lot of times she was feeling really sorry for herself, which don't get me wrong, guys, |
| 2:06.7 | is totally okay. |
| 2:08.4 | But at some point, it typically doesn't lead to healthy or productive behaviors. |
| 2:13.5 | So she would ruminate about him and the other girl a lot and she would see something of his and just like spiral down into this rabbit hole of her ex and what he was doing or not doing, which like can we all raise our hand and say, hey, we've been there. |
