Once upon a time, I understood why people stayed in bad relationships. I understood this, because I was one of them. But then I woke up, realized I wanted to be happy, and I wanted my life to be happy, and that's when I said ta-ta to bad relationships. Now I'm here to tell others to wake up. Life's too short to be stuck with someone you don't actually enjoy being stuck with.

Key Points:

• He's too nice to break up with, she's not that crazy, and I don't want to hurt them are not good reasons to stay in a relationship

• If you stay in a bad relationship, it prevents you from being open and free to meet someone you could actually have a good relationship with

• Not everyone can ounce back from a huge, explosive fight, and pretend like everything is fine

• We take after our parents: the good, the bad, the ugly, and sometimes the complete opposite - they show us what not to do

• I had to wake up and stop blaming my parents failed relationship for all of my failed relationships

• I think the other way can be true too, people with rock-solid parents, might get stuck in not-so-good relationships to have that same consistency

• Dating should be a progression, if your relationships seem to be getting over time, you need to sit down and evaluate what's worked in the past and what hasn't worked in the past

• Take your time! Don't jump into bed with someone right away (not that I'm judging if you do, we've all been there)

• You want someone who is also your friend, and making friends as an adult is freaking hard

• I wouldn't have the happiness I have now, if I didn't have the courage to get out of relationships I was in before that weren't making me happy anymore

• Your partner shouldn't have a million and three roles, it's too much pressure to put on one person

• What makes friendships so successful should be the core roots to your intimate relationships with someone

• Fix the small issues, deal with the hiccups. But when the foundation starts to go? Are you hiring someone to help you out, or are you looking for a new home?

Mentioned in this Episode:

• Unknown Google Quote: A relationship is like a house. When a lightbulb burns out, you don’t go and buy a new house. You fix the lightbulb.
