Summary
What do you do when you love someone deeply, but something still feels off in the relationship? In this week’s episode, I sit down with TV and podcast host Kamie Crawford to tackle one of the hardest situations in love: how to walk away from a relationship that’s full of love but missing the compatibility needed to really thrive.
We break down why love—while powerful—isn’t always enough to sustain a happy, fulfilling partnership. We also share the key questions you need to ask yourself when deciding whether to stay or go. Whether you’re questioning your current relationship or seeking guidance for the future, you can’t miss this conversation.

| 0:56.0 | even though there is a lot of love there? Well, I'm assuming this question is not being asked. |

| 1:24.2 | Love isn't enough. |

| 2:03.0 | And those things probably aren't going to get better. |
| 2:06.4 | In many ways, your resentment, your frustration may get worse. |
