In this episode, we cover topics like ex obsessions, chasing the unavailable partner, looking for the intoxication of desire and longing that we might have felt in other relationships, and worrying…
So today, everybody, we are talking about why you want your ex so bad.
For those of you who are stuck obsessing about your ex and craving them or wanting them or maybe I'm in the wrong relationship, maybe my ex is more right for me.
What else, Grace, can you think of? What else do people, what else comes up with these ex fixations?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I think one of the big things, too, is...
i felt more quote connected to my ex i felt more emotionally invested i missed them more i wanted them more
yeah
there were just there was more emotion there was more pull um and yeah i hear that all the time i just felt so felt like i really loved them i felt like i
really loved them and i don't feel like that in my relationship now i don't feel the way i felt with my ex So what, and that's confusing for people, right? Because if I felt so intoxicated in the relationship with my ex and felt so in love, and I don't feel that now, is this a problem? Am I in the wrong relationship? Should I be with someone who I felt that I had the feelings with my ex for, right? So today we're going to be talking all about that.
And we're going to be breaking it down into detail so that you can understand exactly what's going on here and so that you can hopefully walk away from this episode feeling a little bit more at ease with the decision to maybe stay in your relationship if you are in a stable, healthy relationship, that is, not applicable to any abusive situations.
But I want you to be able to walk away from this episode feeling a little bit more secure in the decision to choose your partner because the addiction to the ex is actually, it is a type of addiction.
It's an addiction to emotional unavailability or have a partner that has one foot out of the door.
And we're going to be talking all about that today.
