Welcome to Just Break Up, the podcast about love, heartbreak, and all the relationship advice

you don't want to hear. My name is Sierra de Mulder. And I'm Sam Blackwell. And today we're going to answer a letter from someone who feels like every new relationship is the same old story and she knows how it ends. But before we begin, we just want to give you our Surgeon General's warning, which is that Sierra and I are not licensed mental health practitioners. No, we are not professionals. We are not trained in any of this. So please

take our advice. As you see fit, we're only here to offer our humble musings to hopefully shed some

understanding and maybe some laughs about the incredibly rewarding, but mostly confusing experience

that is love. All right.

Let's get into today's letter.

So today's letter comes from Over It, whose pronouns are they and she, who's writing from Tennessee.

Hi, and thank you so much for your podcast.

I've been listening for years and always enjoy your kind and thoughtful responses.

I'm writing because I met someone new, who really like and I want to be all in,

but I'm having trouble letting go of hopelessness and fatigue.

At almost 40, I've been through every kind of relationship.

There is toxic marriage, endless situation ship, hot hookup, complicated polycule, lesbian U-Haul,

and most recently a long period of being contentedly single. Time out. Just so you know,

I would watch that show. 100%. 100%. I just binged the Netflix, like, nobody wants this. And

it was, season two was better than the season one. Was it? It was. Yeah, I think it was. I thought it was like funnier, sharper, more nuanced. I love that show because I'm like, it gives such a ridiculous idea of what podcasting is. I know. I know. They're like, I was like, I watched that and I was like, this is not what it's like. No, nobody's wearing headphones. They're in the middle of a baggy kitchen area. 100%. They're like just sitting on the couch of this giant room and also like that's her only job. I was like, there's no way that this is real. I know. I know. She lives in Los Angeles in that giant house.

Her job is podcast.
