Summary

Have you ever dated someone who’s so hard to stay away from EVEN THOUGH they’re not interested in a relationship and you know you should keep your distance? It’s like a drug . . . or the worst kind of junk food . . . even after you swear it off for good, your resolve crumbles the moment they reach out.
When you’re in this vulnerable position, the hope that they may change and that things could be different is what drags you back in. And before you know it, you go right back to feeling powerless—holding on to someone who’s not giving you what you need. So how can you break this cycle once and for all? Don’t miss today’s brand-new episode!

Matt, the person I've fallen for says they're not ready but they keep wanting to stay in touch and

1:05.2

won't let me go. I'm naturally anxiously attached and I'm suffering every day having him in my life

but knowing he doesn't want a relationship with me. I've tried doing no contact and staying away

1:18.4

but it never lasts. I end up reaching out to him or replying to his messages to me and everything
