The Biggest Mistake In Dating: What We Learned The Hard Way (So You Don't Have To)

About this episode

The episode discusses the common mistake of hoping partners will change and the importance of accepting them as they are.

What if one of the biggest mistakes in dating is also one of the most common—and hardest to admit? If you’re hoping someone will change or dating someone for their potential instead of who they are right now, you may already be setting the relationship up to fail. In this episode, we explore why we so often expect partners to change for love, how this usually leads to disappointment, and what it means to accept someone as they are – while still being honest about needs, preferences, and deal-breakers.
