Marriage begins happily for some and lasts for years, but what causes the change? Several factors might be involved, yet there's another reason we seldom discuss.

Sometimes the greatest mystery isn't why someone changed. It's why we continue holding on after the friendship has already run its course. Is it loyalty? Guilt? Fear of starting over? Or are we simply attached to the memories of who they used to be?

I believe some friendships are meant to last a lifetime. They grow with you through different seasons of life and continue to provide mutual support, respect, and encouragement. But when disrespect becomes a pattern, it may be time to walk away. No friendship—no matter how long it has lasted—should require you to tolerate being disrespected, dismissed, or devalued.

We've all heard the phrase, "You're so full of yourself," as if it's one of the worst things someone can say. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? What if being "full of yourself" isn't the problem at all? In this episode, we're challenging a phrase that's been misunderstood for years. By the end, hopefully you will want to try being full of yourself.

It's like there's a silent rival in your relationship. The problem is, you don't realize it's there until the damage has already been done. It's almost impossible to recognize because it doesn't announce itself. It hides behind small moments that seem insignificant on their own. A sarcastic comment when you receive a promotion. A lack of enthusiasm when you reach a goal. A forced smile when others compliment you. A dismissive response when you're excited to share good news. 

This rival isn't another woman. It isn't an ex. It isn't a coworker.

A hunter is a man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to pursue it. He is intentional, focused, and willing to put in the effort when he sees something he values. However, there is one thing that can change everything—and many women don't realize it until it's too late.

I wish more people would look at endings like I do. I know some people are stuck on what could have been. But what could have been never would have happened. One major reason is that things weren't working out in that relationship. If a relationship is a struggle, how could it have a happy ending? So, there is no what could have been.

I think you tell yourself you'll be fine if it ends because you're trying to prepare for the possibility of getting hurt. It's a form of self-protection. You don't want to get too attached, invest too much emotionally, or allow yourself to imagine a future that may never happen.

So you set expectations low. You tell yourself it's only been a few months. You remind yourself that people come and go. You convince yourself that if the relationship ends, you'll simply move on with your life. But we know that's not true. 

The real truth is that you're hurt, you have lowered your standards, and you're a willing participant in this mess, and you've sacrificed all the things that come with a relationship for six months just to say what?

Remember when we discussed the idea of re-entering the dating scene? It has begun, and so far, I've been on two dates.

I'm always feminine, even at my worst. Some suggest channeling that womanly power, and I do so when needed. I'm also quite independent in my relationships. However, when it comes to bringing me coffee or tea, or if a leg falls off the end table, I want him to handle it. I suppose I'm that girl who just enjoys being the honey that draws the bees.
