    Everything Kami said is what I'm going through right now. I was in a 7 year relationship that I ended 5 months ago and it was the WORST experience of my life ( my first break up at 29 years old ) I genuinely think I experienced depression for the first time, heart break is probably one of the worse feelings a person can experience. You actually don't realize how intertwined your life is with someone till you leave and the attachment is NO JOKE.
    It really hit me when she spoke about not being able to be her feminine self, I literally felt like a rehabilitation centre and a mom to a grown man, I was always nurturing, supporting, encouraging, lifting up, providing and helping. I then realized I'm making this guy a better man pouring into someone that isn't pouring into me at all.
    Also whenever I would bring up an issue on how I'm feeling I would get shut down instantly and told I'm starting an argument when I was just expressing my basic needs !
    The constant arguing was also taking a toll on both of us, I just couldn't take it anymore.
    The resentment then started to build unfortunately and I became very cold , distant and snappy, which is the complete opposite to my personality. I truly lost myself.
    I then had a light bulb moment the beginning of this year when I realized my life was more peaceful without his presence and that I deserve to be filled the same way I pour ; I knew it was over for me. I stayed way longer than I should and I beat myself up for it constantly.
    I later found out the day I ended the relationship he was in another relationship 4 days after and this girl now gets everything I worked HARD on and begged him for. I have to stay in prayer not to let bitterness fill my heart.
    Ladies know what you deserve and don't stay longer than you need to cause it causes way more damage than good. X

    This is why I have commitment issues. I love being alone, I actually enjoy being single. But I’m a hopeless romantic. I fall hard for people I actually like. And I get lonely, and I feel like if love comes, I’d embrace it. But it sometimes freaks me out too. The thought of committing to someone with no safety net. And then to know, if it doesn’t work out, your time was wasted. You can suffer a heartbreak. Your life shifts. It’s so scary, all of it. This was very deep.

    I left a 10 year relationship where we had planned our lives together, had baby names, shared accounts etc. Our lives were merged. And it does feel like everything you know is being taken away. But eventually you recognize the gift of realizing its not right for you and the possibility of what’s to come. It eventually gets exciting but at first it feels like mourning the loss of someone. I’m still single 6 years later and don’t regret my decision. I get giddy when I think about this amazing man that God has for me. And it’s so fun to imagine. It gets brighter when you trust God.

    I get EXACTLY what Kamie is talking about with the having to take the driver seat ALL THE TIME. I've had relationships that were okay, but it was like I had to be the one steering and moving us along and moving us forward and the guy was just... there. It feels like you're pulling a dead body behind you, pulling someone to a place they may or may not even want to go. And I'm very big on letting people do as they will, but we are in the relationship and respect it. I don't want to ever feel I'm leading someone to something. I want to feel more equality there. I'll lead you a bit, you lead me a bit, sometimes we're walking side by side, but I never want it to be me dragging someone along. I feel like that kills a relationship on either side. One person leading too much will make them resentful. Someone being pulled too much will feel resentful. There really does have to be a balance and a feeling both of you (or all of you for a poly relationship) want to keep moving towards whatever relationship goals you have. And I don't think we talk about that much.

I became more in love of the idea of who he was in the beginning of the relationship, the work I put in, and what our future could be instead of who he was in the present, the issues in the relationship and where we were truly headed. So after 10 years (married for 4) the relationship ended. It was hard but worth it. Looking forward to the podcast!

    This reminds me so much of my long-term relationship in my 20s. Dated a friend who became a lover after 3+ yrs, he wanted marriage from the beginning and I didn't, not with him. He did all the right things but just didn't know how to lead and that is a trait I crave well actually I seek in my partner. Our worlds intertwined so much so that we lost ourselves in each other. We experienced highs and lows of each others lives. When friends and relatives would comment about marriage dates, I felf so suffocated. The simple thought of being with someone for the rest of my life that couldn't lead made me sick. Ended it after deciding to attend school out of state, it was the most painful yet freeing and peaceful I ever felt in my life. Thank God for that lesson and I genuinely wish him well.

    Wanting to stay in a relationship that isn't working anymore, because you already invested so much time and effort in someone is a real self-sabotage pattern! Been victim to it before and it's hard to get out of, especially as you don't want to start all over again and you see the potential. I love that she took herself out of the situation. And also that she saw that she couldn't be her feminine self in this relationship. She was changing in a way she didn't like and chose for herself by leaving.

    I stayed in a relationship for six and a half years with someone trying to get back to where we were n who he used to be. It destroyed me n has taken years to get back to me after we broke up. I loved him to death n will always love him but he took a lot out of me by not being more of the man taking control in the relationship. I'm a dominant person naturally, but I was sick of him saying he needed me to do things first in order for him to then take the reins, like wtf. No, u plan something, u follow through on shit u said u'd do. I was depressed for about the same length of time I was in that relationship, even though I have had a couple of relationships since him. I realized as well that I need acts of service instead of just being told I love u all the time. Don't just talk about it, be about it!!

    As someone who spent 14 years in a relationship, the last 3 of which were extremely toxic, Shan's analogy of the Casino slot machine syndrome really spoke to me. I was so apprehensive about walking away because I kept thinking if I left he wouldn't be around to do all the things he did that made me fall in love with him. It took a while to dawn on me that even when I kept him around, he no longer did those things.....I appreciated this segment and hope both Shan and her beautiful guest can talk more about recovering and getting past this phase and getting back out there. I wish I could muster up the courage to be excited about it like Shan was saying, but most times all I see is dred.

They have the money and resources not to so it makes zero sense to me. During the lockdown she was trying to cook and her face looked miserable.

    @6:00 TRUTH.
    I was dating this guy recently who triggered me so much because he’s very aloof, had a LOT of boundaries (which I really think some were just to have power over me), would be in moods but never explain them or tell me how he was feeling.
    Then he got mad at me for saying he triggered me and I didn’t think we were compatible. In his mind it’s like “work on your triggers” but it’s like no that’s not how this works. I have dated plenty of people who didn’t trigger me and make me super anxious like him, and I was still aware of my flaws and wounds to work through. I don’t want to be with someone who makes me feel constantly anxious, even if there’s some good times.

    i think its easier to talk openly about letting go when you are younger but when you get into your 50 plus its harder. The fear of being alone at 50 plus is scary so you tend to hold on tighter. I am fighting right now to keep the magical moment when we started out. I am holding on longer because i though this was my forever and i didn't have to go hunting again. He broker down so many barriers that i had up and now the idea of starting over again gives me anxieties and sleepless night.. At 53 i just cant .. Pandemic has had an affect on him mentally so i am empathetic on that level. because i love him too much and i dont think its the right time to walk away even though he is not doing anything to keep the relationship active, i dont want to pressure him right now so i am keeping my feelings bottled up until the right time.. in his case medically, only God knows when the right time is, i just wish he was making some effort.. I really dont want to start over.. I am tired of always the one burning the candle at both ends

    (This is going to be long but good) I can't deny at all that this is the best episode in my opinion by far... transparency.. honesty.. vulnerability.. raw.. her accountability but also understanding his flaws.. i mean damn lol.. and she is attractive as well on top of emotionally intelligent 😍😍😍 (ignore that part lol I'm attracted to some women as well) but anyways back on topic 😆😇.. i adore the conversation and you can tell it was painful.. because she not only invested but you can tell she genuinely loved this man from her soul but she was tired of giving so much of herself.. and needed support.. emotional and mental support and not just from a money aspect.. she was exhausted even spiritually you can tell.. because we as women can give so much sometimes it can change us and build resentment not meaning to.. i have definitely been here before... my partner and i talked about kids.. we were going to get married.. i did everything.. like tried my hardest ever in this relationship.. i definitely wanted to keep it but it was so many red flags.. and i don't know why I ignored them.. possibly great sex maybe? I don't know.. but me and my partner definitely had great you know lol.. which can overshadow somethings but eventually it was becoming too much on my soul.. and i needed to end it.. definitely like she said this almost took me out.. it was beyond painful.. the worst pain i ever felt in my life.. but i had to find me again because somewhere i lost me.. it got wrapped up into a relationship and that's not bad necessarily but damn lol.. i have my moments because it wasn't that long ago but i had to remind myself why i needed to do it.. also i love the way she tries to explain without bashing him.. very commendable..

    Hey Shan. What does "We love each other and we will always love each other" mean exactly when people say that about their exes???
    For instance....When we finally meet that someone new that we have a real vibe with and we are discussing our past relationships to get an idea of what happened and to see if they are truly over that person or not and the woman (or) man says "well yeah, i've healed from my past relationship and we still love each other and will always love each other."
    What do you think that person will think or feel after hearing that?

      I think there’s different levels to love. You can love someone but that doesn’t have to translate into a romantic love. It’s not the same type of love that you have for your current partner. You wouldn’t drop everything to help that ex. There’s a history and a mutual respect and understanding that’s it. The two of you shared a past in which you at one point was In Love but that love has changed where you’ll always have love for that person but you are no longer In Love with that person.
      That’s just my perspective, I hope Shan responds.

It just means that he was a part of my life and we shared something special and that old part of me like my younger self will always have love for him.

For instance ...... let's say the new person you are dating asks you if you still have feelings of any sort for your ex? would you say "Well, I still love him/her and will always love him/her" or would you answer differently just so its not misinterpreted or taken out of context??

      @@jaydubb2005 I wanted to jump in and answer here. I think it depends on the maturity of the people involved. I love you doesn't mean I want to be around you. And when we understand that love is a choice not necessarily a feeling I think it puts things into perspectives for us. For me I understood love based on the biblical meaning and what God meant it to be for us. So I will let people that I have a had a toxic relationship with I love you, it doesn't mean I want to be with you or I have feelings for you, I am just choosing to see you for who you are and allow you be who you are meant to be without feeling the need to be a part of that. I hope this makes sense.

    I am late to the party, but I think Kamie will realize that this is role we women have to play. You were driving what you wanted doesnt mean he had to jump on that bandwagon. He was working to build wealth for what you BOTH wanted for your futures. I get having someone there to take the reigns if push came to shove is reassuring but as you grown in that relationship, you learn to compliment what the other lacks. For instance, I thought my husband wasnt ambitious enough for me. I thought he was lazy and being a mother of 6 AND in the military, I wanted him to take the reigns so I could breath sometimes. Had I not allowed God to soften my heart, I wouldve never understood what my hubbs was trying to teach ME: I dont have to do the most to BE the most!! Once I learned that, our relationship deepened and my priorities changed. After 22 years of marriage, I am so GLAD I didnt let others or myself influence me to let go of him in search of something stronger, better. No, I didn't settle. I just reprioritized what was truly important in my life.
