Make up or break up? Knowing when to call it quits.
If you’ve ever been through a rough patch, you know this is a painful question to answer. Do you stick it out? Do you cut the cord and run? Do you sacrifice more to make it work? Do you demand your partner give up everything and run away to Fiji and live happily ever after?
These are the hard questions we answer in this episode.
To help us figure this out, I’m going to be roasting viewers’ relationships with their partners. I’m going to go over five real-world examples sent in from you, fans struggling with relationships, and in the process I’m going to share the three questions we must all ask ourselves to figure out if it’s time to break up.
So get your hot sauce ready, because shit’s about to get spicy. Maybe even have your partner join you for this one. It could be fun… or it could ruin your marriage. Let me know.

Me, being single for years: "Interesting."
same here
This should be a chapter in every relationship advice book. I wish someone had told me this when I was younger instead of "turn the other cheek" and "it takes two to tango"
Disney has a lot to answer for. The 'perfect partner' and happy ever after (with no effort or compromise) myth is pervasive. Alongside that is the 'never stop pursuing your dream' thing. Its generally spread by the winners and the folks who strive and strive but will never attain the (often unrealistic/unattainable) dream are never seen, theyre the invisible majority. The ability to put everything and everyone aside to endlessly follow their dream are either narcissistic or very privileged.
Also, we need to challenge the concept of happiness that marketing has brainwashed you with. Endless pleasure/novelty, is not the same as happiness. This, in itself, is worthy of discussion.
Ive been married (to the same man) for 45 years. There have been long patches when we sorta existed side by side (mostly during the two huge jobs and two kids stage), other patches with some conflict. On balance, even in those times, it was better to be together than apart (sometimes financially or the kids). We had values and goals in common, that's what carried us through. So, some stages in life, we just 'marked time' but overall, we came out the other side.
29:15 It was a revelation for me when I realized healthy people end relationships simply because they're not working for them. You mean you can DO that?! 😂 ("Thanks" mom, for teaching me I'm not allowed to have needs or boundaries. 👿) 3:55 Covert narcissists & empaths are another NON dynamic duo. So glad to be FREE!!! 🌈🌿😃🍀💖
We've mostly been raised with a totally unrealistic concept of soul mate; the partner that will 'complete' us and be everything we need. I see it as important to recognise that some of our emotional and social needs need to be supported by friends and family, outside the relationship. It's unrealistic to expect your partner to be all-things to you.
Should we also have a video on “How do you know when it’s time to start relationships?” 🤔
it's a re-upload 😭
Such an important topic. Thank you for covering this ❤
Once I started to be myself and be better to myself I saw that wasn’t being accepted so yea lol thanks 😂🤣
Mark also talk about being "single"
is it better or worse
Giving gifts can give someone pleasure. That's not happiness
Aren't this channel videos going to the TSAonGAf podcast? Or is there another podcast?
