About this episode
The episode discusses the detrimental effects of pity in a marriage and offers reasons to leave a toxic relationship.
It's absolutely exhausting. I can't even imagine feeling the draining dynamics of pity in a marriage. OMG! No intimacy, no love, no cuddling, no communication. WHAT HAPPENED FOR IT TO GET THERE? It's toxic and I know I would not be able to tolerate it at all. NOR SHOULD ANYONE. But I'm not judging because I have not walked in those shoes, and again I know it's easier said than done. Here are 5 reasons to get out. SAVE YOURSELF especially when everything has been done to try and save it. Sometimes feeling stuck is just being comfortable in the wrong place.
