Breakup

See app for details.

Welcome to Just Break Up, the podcast about love, heartbreak, and all the relationship advice you don't want to hear.

My name is Sierra DeMolder.

And I'm Sam Blackwell.

And being alone sucks logistically, but I do love my own company and solitude.

I crave partnership and a family.

So how do I express that he needs to shit or get off the pot? Perhaps this really is a just break up scenario.

Do ideal partnerships exist that naturally just jump in and get pleasure from being there and helping? I'm stuck between love is hard and you work through difficult seasons and love is easy and the right person would just get it.

But what if that's not the real work? What if the most important relationship you'll rebuild after a breakup is the one you have with yourself? Because maybe the real work after a breakup isn't learning how to live without them.

It's learning how to belong to yourself again.

Joining me today is Janice Formichella, breakup coach, podcast host of Breakup, Broken Hearts, and Moving On.

Janice is passionate about helping people heal from heartbreak, overcome loneliness, and transform the end of a relationship into the beginning of a powerful new chapter.

My God, I love that, by the way.

welcome to breakups and breakthroughs in this podcast we cover an array of topics but our primary focus is to help you get over your ex heal from the heartbreak and create a life that is even better than the one you had with your ex please note that this podcast is aimed to support you but it's not a replacement for therapy or coaching let's get into the episode Hey everybody, welcome back to the Breakups and Breakthroughs podcast.

I've been thinking a lot about inconvenience within relationships and how I feel that some different elements of our society or history has started to make a relationship being a bit inconvenient a to mean that something's wrong that it shouldn't be this hard it shouldn't take this much effort it shouldn't take this much energy you shouldn't have to work so hard for it and these mentalities i think are keeping us from having really connected fulfilling relationships because we don't actually do enough to support the infrastructure of the relationship or the growth of connection between ourselves and somebody else.

Mostly, I think in part to this idea that it's too inconvenient.

Thank you so much for listening.

And I'll see you in the next episode of Breakups and Breakthroughs.

Texting wasn't ideal.

I think you should never ever text someone that you are breaking up with them.

No.

Ever.

Yeah.

So like.

But I understand why the person that did the breaking up over text feels like they had to do that.

Because if someone's, if you feel like they're being distant.

If you'd like more information about my work or you'd like to work with me one-on-one, please visit my website at retroactivejealousy.com. For those of you here for the first time, the term retroactive jealousy refers to unwanted intrusive thoughts, often obsessive curiosity, and what I like to call mental movies about a partner's past relationships and or sexual history.

And when needless to say, when you're dealing with retroactive jealousy, it can be tempting to just think, if I break up with this person, that will solve my retroactive jealousy.

I don't have a problem.

The problem is actually my partner's.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I'm perfect.

It's time to break up.

I'm being a little facetious here.
