Sometimes, the hardest wisdom to accept is that caring deeply about someone doesn't automatically mean the relationship can work. In this continuation of our conversation about love's limitations, we explore the gut-wrenching question: how do you know when to keep fighting for a relationship versus when to walk away? We dig into the complexity of adult relationships where there's no villain nor a clear wrong answer, just two people who may not be compatible despite having genuine affection for one another. Betina serenades us with a classic country tune about knowing your limits, and in a tender moment, publicly honors Jen for showing up with grace during a season when Betina wasn't easy to be around. We wrap with a cooking lesson that's really about discernment: understanding when adding more actually makes things worse, and having the wisdom to stop before you ruin what could have been good enough.
