Episode 2554: Alysha Jeney explores the emotional complexities behind why women may leave seemingly ideal marriages, highlighting two key factors: the failure to communicate needs vulnerably and the realization that a “box-checked” life doesn’t equal true fulfillment. Through her experience as a couples therapist, Jeney offers compassionate insight into how misaligned communication and suppressed desires can quietly erode even the most stable relationships. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.modernlovecounseling.com/why-women-leave/ Quotes to ponder: "Just because we are speaking, doesn’t mean our vulnerability and intention is being heard." "They realize they have created a life that has only 'checked boxes' versus actually being fulfilling in a way they authentically desire." "Most of us don’t know how to speak at a level 5 with our partner; most of us feel isolated or misunderstood by our partner at times." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
