The Loving Truth

The Dangers of Over Functioning & More of Your Relationship Questions


Listen Later

It’s that time again! In this episode of The Loving Truth podcast, I’m doing another Q&A about your greatest relationship challenges. And today, you’ll hear my answers to the following voicemail questions from an anonymous caller and Jennifer:

Is it normal to want to know all the details of my husband’s affair in order to process and get over it? Am I wrong to want to leave my husband of 23 years (who I’m still with out of guilt) so I can find love and be happy again someday?

In the process, you’ll learn what you’re actually looking for when you want to know all the details about an affair (and why you should be careful what you ask for), the line you don’t want to cross to remain in a relationship, and why asking if you’re right or wrong to end your marriage doesn’t have a wrong answer.

I’ll also reveal the danger of over-functioning for other people in your life and why you shouldn’t concern yourself with what others think about the ending of your relationship.

1:00 - Why wanting to know all the details about an affair is a form of self-abuse

5:43 - Why it can be difficult to get past the details once you know them

9:53 - The choice between placing your focus on feeling good or heaping on more trauma

14:16 - Unpacking several things in Jennifer’s multifaceted question

22:02 - How Jennifer can ease the guilt she feels about ending her marriage and what she can expect going forward with a divorce

26:13 - The best and healthiest thing Jennifer can do for her and her husband’s 21-year-old child
