      Smartness is important in a relationship and cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone and I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and deleted messages from my phone without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. I’m here in UK and able to access my husband’s phone messages with a link on my phone even while he was away in Canada cheating on me. I got to discover that my husband who is legally married to me here in UK is also recently married to another woman in Canada and I’m finally going through a divorce with lots of evidence against him. I read all his Whatsapp, Facebook,Skype,Instagram and Snapchat messages Including the deleted text and recent messages. You can contact this great Hacker Gavin via Gmail (cyberhackinggenius) or text and speak to him directly on his phone and WhatsApp : +19256795146 and don’t forget to thank me later.

    People jump from relationship to relationship without figuring out who they are by themselves. Stephen is SO right-on about sex blocking reality (not his words) for both men and women. People mistake lust for love and then when things start to settle into real life, typically between 1 and 3 years, people tell themselves that they've "fallen out of love". The person you should have the most love for is YOU! Relationship is giving to one another - if you do not love yourself you have no love to give. I was married for 26 years and divorced. I do not feel that marriage was a failure. I was young and we grew in different directions. I waited one year to date and I'm now in my second marriage 15 years and adore my husband. I met my second husband at 49 years old. He's a few years younger. I never waited for his phone calls or felt fearful in our relationship. Men definitely latch on quickly and when you introduce sex into the relationship too soon, before you really get to know one another it often convolutes everything. The #1 important quality in relationship is shared values. You can have great sex, etc. but if you don't have shared values the relationship will crumble. Stephen has a lot of relationship wisdom. Thanks for having him on the show.

I suffered and went through all types of emotional tortures for i couldn't get any help to get my partner back not until i was refereed to PROPHET EHIAGWINA by my co-worker who gave me her full assurance about him that he can be of help to me. I got in touch with prophet ehiagwina and i hearken to his words and followed the instructions given to me by him. Could you believe that my girlfriend got back home within 48hours as said by him and today, my relationship life is restored & i'm so thankful, appreciative & grateful to God for using PROPHET EHIAGWINA to get my girlfriend back after 11 months of broken relationship. Is there anyone out there who needs to get back to he's or her lover back or needs any help of any kind?

    This video hit me in so many ways. I knew 2 weeks before I got married that it was the wrong decision, but I felt that I was in too deep as there were guests that were coming over from Scotland. I also really knew that he was not my person when he gained a lot of weight while we were together and I was no longer attracted to him. The funny thing is that he would blame me for the food I cooked yet I had 3 kids and ate the same food as he did!! I ended the marriage about 7 years ago because I really wanted to cheat and human to human I didn't want to treat him that way. We've had conversations since then along the lines of me being the one who had the guts to pull out of a relationship that neither of us wanted to be in. Right now we are doing well as co-parents and we were always better friends and teammates then romantic partners.
    I did get into a relationship 3 years later that was off and on for 3 years and I recognize looking back that neither of us was fully able to get past our pasts. At the moment I've decided to be single and abstinent to gain a better knowledge of myself so I can heal the wounds of the past so I won't feel the desire to bleed all over the future. At the moment I am working towards my true purpose working in an addiction treatment center and attending university to get my bachelor in addiction counseling.

    I had a relationship that lasted 8 years before healing. It was very disfunctional. I knew I didnt really love him since the first day, but I couldnt find a reason why. He was nice, clever, handsome, he loved me much more of what I thought I deserved, so how could I leave him?
    Maybe it was me? I wasnt able to experience love?
    I had a mask for years. He never truly knew me and I never let him in.
    I feel sad when I remember It. It wasnt fair. I was toxic.
    But I don't think he was the problem. I was. I didnt have any self esteem. I couldnt trust myself. I hated myself in many ways and I needed so much to heal. I wasnt responsable of my life.
    Now, I am concious, and I am healing everyday. I am a very new person. And I found a wonderful human being that I love deeply and he loves me back. We are building something very beautiful together and I am proud of our relationship. I could never get here before healing. The same way, my friendships were not real. I was faking my life.
    So yes, we need to heal. At least I had to.

    Love should be given to everybody freely.

    Good information but I don’t think some important root issues were addressed. The fears women (and men) have were not created in a vacuum. It’s not all about past issues...it’s about the present dating culture that people fall into that keeps people from truly connecting. There are a lot of emotionally abusive men and women out there creating these scary experiences. In my case, I did the inner work, increased my self esteem and self love, I wake up extremely happy every day and all of my other relationships have improved. I’m positive and open emotionally but I find I have to cut off a lot of people early on in dating relationships because of disrespectful and emotionally manipulative behavior. I think that I will run into someone I can connect with if I keep myself open and positive but it’s looking like it will take a while to push past all the BS people that are out there. Doing inner work doesn’t automatically guarantee the availability of other emotionally balanced people to date. Hopefully the trend will catch.

      i think the point he was trying to make is that its easier to navigate the current situation if your mind isn't clouded by past pain. When you know yourself and know what you want its a lot easier for you to tell if a guy is right for you or not which saves you the time and stress of dealing with bs. It doesn't mean you become a magnet for only great guys. It means in a room of 100 men you can more easily choose the one good one. also, just because someone is a good person doesn't mean they are good for you.

    Amazing after my divorce I realized I was in a relationship where he just drained me in every possible way, nothing was enough. Thank goodness I finally left that marriage. And with work I realized a whole bunch about my childhood and my self and that marriage. Today I am so much happier and I have learned. Great lessons here. Thank you both.

    I often tell people to stop separating friendzone and partner material because if you want to last you must be able to be best friends at the same time or you won't communicate, hang out, have fun together after a few years, or lean on each other when going through hardships. I'm always so glad to see another INFJ personality ^^ It took me such a long time to accept being a born helper that people open up to very quickly. I've heard so many dark secrets over my years.
    Great advice, truly!
    Edit: I feel lucky that both grandparents pair, my parents, and my aunts found their forever best friend, and my uncle had 1 divorce and then found his forever best friend wife so my whole relative tree was full of role models to what a marriage can be and should be.

    "The majority of people aren't even married to the person they have the deepest feelings for." I believe this. Through observing other relationships as well as mine over the years, I've learned that what determines a relationships success is not how much you have in common, or your attraction to each other or ANY of that. There is ONE thing that determines the success of a relationship- 'How much both people are willing to make it work.' That's pretty much it. And boy can that be frustrating.

    @Cupid_ Před 4 lety +4

    I am going have to watch twice to really sink in. This is one of the deepest videos I have watched. Divorced twice, my first husband meets all the criteria of the one of a lifetime connection. I cant explain but he was that man. We never ever had a fight during our dating or while we were married. We laughed together, we had beautiful baby boy and we had each others back. Unfoetunalty he moved and I didnt want to move at the time bcos I was too young and my parents didnt want me to leave them.
    Every relationship after him did not work, I became angry woman, I cant bond or be vulnerable or trust anyone. My second marriage was due to desperation. I was single mum n was struggling. I was married to him for 8 years. The most miserable years of my entire life. I have a daughter for him but I really know now I would never have married him had I not been struggling. I have been divorced for 6 years, I dont think marriage is for me, I spent alot of time alone, my relationship with myself is great, my career is great, I have done well for myself. I am scared now to try out, I dont want all this to be taken away from me. My lifestyle, my happiness and peace that I have. Ugg it feels nice to have someone but when you have got out of the storm you get scared. Thanks for this video, so powerful!

      The reason this is flawed is that it's tied to expectations.. so you can only get disappointed. Some expectations you can't get rid of, but you can choose how you act on it. You can be grateful when they show you they care.. and not focus on the one time they forgot to.

I'm also realising that there are people out there that haven't put in the work to be a better person to achieve a healthy relationship. Ive realised That has nothing to do with me personally, I'm doing the work on myself and being open minded. I've learnt it's about meeting someone on the same level as you.

I did not realize how much weight I gained until I had to go to the mall and pick out a outfit. I was looking crazy😯🙄. I have learned the power of putting myself 1st. My emotional, and physical health it's all I have. I will no longer put others needs before my own. And practice praying before I speak and take anyone's emtional baggage. Thank you.

    That's the key; healthy relationships not only empower people to live better it also promote people to encourage others to live better. We you are in a healthy relationship you feel good and want to share that feeling, however when you're in a unhealthy relationship you are more prone to share that feeling as well

  • @TheZGALa
    @TheZGALa Před 5 lety +9

    I have been in an uncommitted long distance, open relationship which has been part of the healing journey for my partner and I for more than three years. You don't have to be "the One" to have a healthy relationship. I think people put unrealistic expectations on romantic relationships. I found a person I had that connection with, we got together twice in this lifetime, more than ten years ago we broke off our engagement...we both had LOTS of unhealed trauma which led to us both damaging ourselves and each other more. Sometimes healing is necessary before a healthy monogamous relationship can really 'make it'. Also, the idea of a 70 year monogamous relationship is new and seems highly impractical to me. Relationships can be beautiful in many contexts, when there is an agreement to share love, pleasure, growth, silences, experiences, and conversations. There's not one way. Much love!
