Every Relationship Has an Expiration Date
S1 Episode 5: Every Relationship Has an Expiration Date
Episode Summary
Every relationship has an expiration date. Sad but true. Every romance eventually ends (even if is not until death do you part). Once you have accepted that all good (or bad) relationships eventually expire, you are free to live in the moment and focus on your happiness.
If both partners' needs and wants are being met, let the relationship evolve organically. However, if one or both people in the relationship are not getting what they want and/or need, it is time to move on.
Learn from the ending of a relationship and use it to your advantage. It’s an opportunity to grow, evolve and discover a lot about yourself.
At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss people who refuse to accept that their relationship is over.
Show Notes
Every relationship has an expiration date. It may sound sad, but it’s true. Every romantic relationship eventually ends, and that’s okay. Many people see the end of a relationship as a bad thing. But while there is loss, there is also so much you can gain from a relationship ending.
When a relationship ends, it’s the closing of a chapter. It’s an opportunity to grow, evolve, and learn a lot about yourself. When you recognize and accept every relationship reaches an end point, you can live in the moment and enjoy the relationship as it is here and now.
There is a power in having a relationship end, and when it does, it’s important to focus on what you’re walking away with. Endings aren’t always awful—they can be great, like finishing a book or a movie. Even your relationship with your soulmate or true love will eventually end, and it’s what you choose to do with that end that really matters.
Time is your most valued resource. Once you recognize how little you have, the idea of wasting it on a relationship that has run its course is silly. If a relationship isn’t a right fit for you, don’t dwell on it. Take what you’ve learned from the relationship and move on.
In this episode, the vent session topic is: When people won’t accept that their relationship is over. This stops both parties from getting proper closure. It slows the healing process and can reflect a controlling nature in the person who can’t let go. You fantasized your relationship was perfect, but no relationship is perfect, and no relationship is owed to you.
