Breakups and divorces don’t happen overnight. They happen after many, many moments of feeling unheard, unimportant, and alone. Instead of the relationship being a source of safety and love, it becomes a source of stress. Most relationships don’t end because people stop loving each other. They end because people don’t know how to make things better. Interview with @mightypursuit podcast | Jillian Turecki

Divorce or a breakup, doesn’t usually happen overnight. It’s the result of patterns—needs, stacked emotional triggers, and repeated attempts to connect that go ignored or invalidated. Over time, a person moves from frustration to hopelessness. They emotionally check out. That’s learned helplessness. Then they leave, not because they didn’t want the relationship to work, but because they didn’t know how to function inside of it anymore. From my interview on the @mightypursuit podcast. 🙏🏼 | Jill
