      I found Matthew on CZcams 10 years ago. After I divorced my husband of 25 years I needed dating advice. He is genuine, respectful and sweet.
      I realised that if you start not liking yourself, you are not in the right relationship. For about. ‘5 minutes’ I tried online dating and my profile said: ‘I’m not perfect and you are not perfect but are we perfect for each other?’ Thank you both for sharing your wisdom and being vulnerable. 🙏❤️

    @34:47
    The guy I most recently dated told me about the last girl he was with & how she was really cold and never acknowledged him or how he cared for her, but he still wrote sad songs about her. I tried to end it when I realized he was hung up on someone, but he insisted he was as healing and he saw dating me as moving forward from that. Yet of course, he wasn’t showing up in the way I know I deserve, and I experienced HIM as being unavailable emotionally. I could tell he enjoyed how nurturing, sweet, and open I was to him, but he took it for granted. And I understand, because I’ve been in his position. It’s what you guys are talking about - we only recognize love when we are trying to earn it. I was doing it with him and he wasn’t as into me as the last girl because he didn’t have to earn my love/attention. Clearly we’re both wounded. It woke me up to the work I still have to do personally. No regrets.

      Thank you for this! I've been watching Lewis for a while now and Ive heard him speak generally on the past relationship that helped send him on this journey. While its always nice to be in a healthy/ easy relationship (especially after a challenging one) I hope he's genuinely moving on. Too much time being introspective can mess up the future of his current relationship even if that trama is making money now.

      I used to think if a guy was too nice then I was going to eventually take that for granted and take advantage of him. (So dumb…). Everyone knows “those guys” in high school. you don’t want a puppy dog but sometimes what you think is a puppy dog is just someone who adores you and wants to spend time with you. Now I wish I married one of them!
      But now I am the “too nice” one in a relationship and I don’t like being on this end.
      Looking for that “nice guy” again.

  • @NK-vs3je
    @NK-vs3je Před měsícem +32

    I’m really proud of how far I’ve come in voicing my needs, however, the recent experience of having my needs labelled “too high expectations” or “sensitive” or “you shouldn’t need that” and invalidated and denied really shook me. It’s been 2 months and I’m already healing well, but I wish I walked away once my needs were denied. They were as simple as cuddles after intimacy, going on a date, asking for an apology… basic things. I was always the one going “how can I love you better? What can I do? What do you need?” And he asked it once towards the end of our relationship, made the change I requested, then blew up when he couldn’t keep up the “act” as he called it. Man, I’m ready to work on myself and take this time to heal, and when I date again, I’m being authentically me and not being afraid to say no to the wrong person…

    Toxic love can be emotionally draining and harmful to your overall well-being. It's important to recognize the signs of a toxic relationship, such as constant criticism, manipulation, or lack of respect. Remember, you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and respect. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family, and consider seeking professional help if needed. Take care of yourself and prioritize your happiness. You deserve a healthy and fulfilling love. ❤️

    32:40 That’s spot on about the nervous system ! … ANDDDD a lot of the times childhood unhealed trauma around not having father figures that protected them as little girls tend to gravitate towards “ bad boys “ and so they misread and confuse the power control and fake confidence they portray, with a man that has the potential to provide protection. I believe that women intrinsically want a good, gentle man that can also make her feel protected.

      This is so true and familiar. It's really hard to understand why you attract and are attracted to the wrong people if the rejection, lack of attention or lack of protection happened when you were little more than a baby. I felt I 'lost' my relationship with my father when my sister was born. He enjoyed babies and was the only one who could soothe me as a little one. All that stopped when I was a 'grown up girl' at 2 1/2!

    Self compassion is a beautiful gift to ourselves. This podcast is so raw and full of human softness, definitely the reason why we all attract the people that we create relationships with because we do see our brokenness in them. Being truly authentic and naked emotionally takes courage. Nobody wants to be judged and not like because we are who we are. The feeling of being safe and home with someone is truly amazing yet it takes vulnerability and compassionate acceptance to arrive home. I appreciate both your openness and vulnerability as the leaders and authority navigating this topic. I feel that both your life experiences creates volumes impacting us today ❤️.

Pay 1st, 2nd and then if things going great and want to bring a flower or something if you want. Just pay for the date. Be good company is your primal responsibility.

    When we start to become better person (whole life journey) we still attract same amount of people, just different sort. But its true it's you loose a lot people around you. You have changed, so you don't click anymore. my circle is smaller since I am doing personal development. They say it's a lonely path, the self actualization. You are not fuzzing around with majority ppl who simply have other beliefs and standards, I guess. Lovely podcast, thank you guys. Following both of you for years now ❤

    Some of which Matthew speaks of is called Limerence. It's an incredibly painful state of relationship toxicity. It was coined by the psychologist Dorothy Tennov. He's just got better and better over the years, and his vulnerability is so refreshing. Well done to you both.👍🏾

    I think flowers on the first date would make me feel uncomfortable. It’s too much too soon. If, after the date, I don’t feel chemistry with him, then it’s going to feel even more awkward. I agree, I’d rather him wait until he knows me better and we are clicking. Then flowers are absolutely lovely to receive. 💐

    Flowers can have a loaded response. If in her previous relationship, he only presented flowers when he was in trouble then going forward, when someone new brings flowers, it can remind them of sadness, a time when they felt abandoned and/or betrayed.

    I’m feeling like it’s never about the giving or offering it’s more about the WHO is doing the offering. If it’s someone who is fulfilled within themselves they give for the joy of giving. When I personally am not feeling whole I realize I’m really offering from more of a place of need . So it’s in the intention. Intention is powerful and offers the information that the nervous system of the “other” is searching for. 😁

      Realize that when you say “women” you are including all women and your statement is then not true. The women that are trying to learn, and that are in therapy or listening to podcasts like this one are different than most of the women out there that think they’ve got it all together. The reason women can’t find men anymore or decent men is because they’re not decent women. Speak for yourself and not all women.

  • @yudanaim6849

    When you are inside a toxic relationship you can't just go out of it.
    There is an emotional chain that is very strong around the victim.
    Like an anaconda.
    So whatever people say is not effective enough.

    • @MaggieC21
      @MaggieC21 Před měsícem +7

      It’s why leaving is often preceded by significant health impairments and growing levels of helpless/hopeless feelings and depression with anxiety.
      The victim has to finally see that saving their life is worth facing the outcomes of their life as their own responsibility.
      Victimhood can only be overcome when you stop allowing it.
      I know after having gone through this and being gut wrenched by it more than once. Each time, speaking up and suffering the consequences was a cycle until I knew I must leave everything I cared about to reclaim my life.
      In the end… I discovered that this is a process of learning how to love myself. I had to care more about my own wellbeing than anyone else. Love like that makes aware and courageous decisions to put the quality of one’s life in one’s own hands. As long as you give that away to others, you will remain in toxic trauma bonds.

      ⁠​⁠@@MaggieC21so true! It took me years of cycling thru those same types of relationship mistakes, until I ended up in a DV situation. Thankfully that one DV experience is what I finally needed to let go of those old habits/beliefs/etc. and truly learn what I needed to heal. It’s been quite a journey, one I’m still traveling, but at almost 40 I can finally say I have a healthy relationship with a man who is willing to travel this journey with me, as we support each other in our continued growth. We recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary, and both look forward to many more years of this wonderful partnership. I hope you are continuing with your growth too. 😀

    Two great men! I have been following you @Lewis Howes since 2014, you helped me to go trough the darkest and most painful part of my life then, thanks your amazing interviews. Every interview that I see from you, I can see you continually growing! you get better and better interviewing but specially as a human being. And you @Matthew Hussey, I found you 2015 and I was at one of your retreats 2015 or 2016 (San Diego). I have to say that you are a 180° different person today than then... I see now the softer-loving-compasionate and the real MATTHEW, THIS IS MATTHEW. Live is hard in how it changes us, but seeing it from the illuminated side of the tunnel, it is the greatest gift we could have ever received. You both made a wonderful interview here. I appreciate you both and thank you for being here.
