Why do we stay in relationships that never quite decide us? In this episode, we explore how early emotional programming, attachment patterns, and cultural narratives teach us to wait—to hope that clarity, commitment, or reassurance will eventually arrive. We unpack the quiet ways wanting to be chosen can keep us in relational limbo, stretching connections past their natural end and turning patience into self-abandonment. This is a conversation about self-honesty, emotional safety, and the difference between being loved and being hoped for. If you’ve ever stayed because leaving felt like giving up on being chosen, this episode is for you.
