How is it that someone can be in an abusive relationship, where they are mistreated all the time, and when asked why they don’t leave, their response is, 'Oh, well, he loves me'?
In this episode, the hosts delve into the complexities of toxic relationships, exploring why people get into them, why they stay, and how they can ultimately break free. They discuss self-awareness, the role of ego, and the importance of standing up for the truth. Real-life examples and philosophical insights are woven together to offer a comprehensive look at the patterns and dynamics that keep individuals trapped in harmful cycles. The conversation underscores the significance of having honest, intimate relationships where difficult truths can be faced head-on, leading to personal growth and healthier connections. The episode also touches on the reward of having one's life in order and how it manifests in interactions with others.
