In this raw and revealing episode, our producer, Riley, asks Cornelius why some men walk away from their relationships when they feel their woman “deserves better.” He unpacks a lesser-talked-about reason why some men leave relationships—not because they’ve fallen out of love, but because they believe the woman deserves better. He explores the emotional and psychological weight behind feeling “not enough,” how shame, pride, and unmet needs collide, and why love alone sometimes isn’t enough to stay. If you’ve ever been blindsided by a breakup that made no sense—or walked away from someone you loved—this conversation is for you.
