S1 Episode 8: Sometimes the Problem is You
Episode Summary
Do you find dating a struggle? Maybe you keep finding the “one” but it never seems to last. Are your romantic relationships difficult or unsatisfying? If you answered yes to one or all of these statements, the problem may lie with you.
So many of us lack self-awareness, especially when we are emotionally involved in the situation. When a relationship fails, it is often due to both people’s behavior. Before you blame your partner for the difficulties in your relationship, make sure to check yourself. If you allow someone to mistreat you, then you have some of the responsibility for the breakdown of the relationship.
A Romancipated person takes responsibility for their behavior and understands their motivations. If you set healthy boundaries and have reasonable expectations, you open yourself up to endless romantic opportunities.
At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss when people justify their cheating.
Show Notes
If you are struggling in your romantic relationships and find that they never work out, there is a pattern here, and it’s you. It might not be a flaw in every relationship, but rather how you tend to navigate them. This could indicate a lack of self-awareness, because it never occurs to you that some aspect of your personality or communication style could be hurting your relationships.
It’s not easy to look in the mirror and accept that you may be getting in your own way—even if it happens to you over and over again. Your idea of what a relationship should be may not be compatible with how long-lasting relationships actually work.
It’s possible your expectations and values may be out of order. For example, going after a person who is wealthy with complete disregard for who they are as a person. It’s easy to blame a relationship not working out for some reason on your partner rather than reflect on any role you might have played in it.
Most relationships don’t end over a big blowout. More often than not, it’s death by a thousand cuts. Reflecting on this in your past relationships can bring you the awareness you need to recognize where you contributed to the problem. Before you start blaming others, you have to look at yourself first.
In this episode, the vent session topic is: When people justify their cheating. It’s an attempt to justify a guilty conscience and play the blame game. It’s disrespectful, destroys trust, and shows immaturity. It makes a joke out of the commitment two people make to each other. The person who does this is simply continuing to lie to themselves and others.
