Learn more at goldencrestmetals.com/protect. Remember, you can hear my radio program daily on SiriusXM Triumph and connect with me 24 seven at drlaura.com. Found a really cool article which just rivets into place the things I say every day here. Kind of like when I find articles like that. It's in yourtango.com. I have no idea how they came up with that, but we've had a number of times I've used their articles on the air. This is basically seven dangerous lies. People tell themselves to stay in the wrong relationship. There should be eight. So I'm going to start with my eighth. Then I'll go through their seventh. The eighth dangerous lie people tell themselves to stay in the wrong relationships is, but I love her, but I love him. And I have innumerable times said, this is not love. Love is awe, admiration, respect. You're being treated like shit. This is not love. We don't love when we're treated like shit. But sometimes in the grand scheme of things, let's see if I'm treated like shit, I'm at least not alone. I have a boyfriend. I have a girlfriend. Some magic will happen and I will be happy because I love him. I love her. That's the first dangerous lie you tell yourself. People give me that all the time because they figure, man, as long as I say I'm in love, that is the best explanation dash excuse, and I can stay in the bad relationship and not be alone. I'd rather be alone under a rock than be abused. You have to come to that conclusion. Anyway, let's go now that I've done my one, we'll go to their one. Their one is maybe they'll change. Oh my God, I've heard that a million times, I've heard it two million times and it's so disheartening to hear that. You keep telling yourself, maybe they'll change, but no one will change when they don't want to. They don't think they have to. They don't think they have the problem. What the hell are you thinking? Of course, they're not going to change. There's no motivation. Then people, well, you're a therapist, shouldn't you be saying anybody can change? Well, first of all, not anybody can change. B, definitely not when they don't see a reason to. Maybe they'll even go, okay, now that you're ready to leave me, I'll change. And so you unravel everything you did in a healthy way to get the hell out of the situation, and then they... Number two, I married him or her for their potential. I know they could grow into a mature, loving, kind, caring, productive, ambitious, hardworking, successful person. Do you really invest yourself in things on the potential that it'll work? I'm gonna get on this airplane, because I believe this plane has a lot of potential.

Speaker 3:
[06:34] Hey, Uncle Number One, why aren't we counting anymore?

Speaker 6:
[06:37] Let me tell you a story. Long ago, Serta invented the Perfect Sleeper Mattress.

Speaker 4:
[06:41] Oh, no.

Speaker 6:
[06:43] Oh, yes. It says the all-new Serta Perfect Sleeper with the Q4 support system has four in one perfectly interlinked coils that help relieve aches and back pain for perfect sleep night after night.

Speaker 4:
[06:55] We'll never get counted again.

Speaker 6:
[06:57] Uh, nope.

Speaker 5:
[06:58] Serta, we make the world's best mattress.

[08:05] Number three, if I wait long enough, they will fall in love with me. Uh, unless somebody... Are you okay, honey? What do you think it is? Woof. Here, come here. Good girl. Thank you. You protect me. But that's the guy cleaning something. He's okay. All right. Very protective little, little mutt. I know. She's a poodle. I still get asked, what kind of poodle is this? A poodle. Yeah, but what kind of poodle? A poodle, poodle. A poodle poo. You know, the guy who came up with the concept of breeding poodles with other dogs and calling them poos, regrets the day he did it because he doesn't think the DNA lines are any good. And it disrespects poodles. That's interesting piece of history. But getting right on. Three, if I wait long enough, I'll get them to fall in love with me. So I'll eat dirt, take abuse, take being ghosted, take being mistreated, take being not loved on the off chance. If I keep working at it, I can make them love me. No, you can't. Number four, which sort of goes from number three, I know he or she really loves me. Really what? By their behavior? Hardly. You know, you can fall in love with how someone makes you feel. I mean, going out to dinner on a date and looking dreamily, having great sex, whatever, can make you feel great. I mean, he doesn't call you his girlfriend, he doesn't introduce you to friends or family. You're an option, not a choice, but what the hell? When it's nice, it feels good. They just won't admit they love me. What? Because they're having sex with you? You think they love you? Okay. Number five. But he or she is my dream. So you place all your hopes of unmet love in the rest of your life onto them. They are my dream. They are my soulmate. Six, I'm scared I'll lose them if I don't give them everything they want. That's kind of sad and pathetic. There were in 2017, a series of relationship studies that suggested in psychology, nothing is a fact, it's all suggested. It might be suggested that the fear of being single is a meaningful predictor of settling for less in relationships and predicts lower likelihood of initiating the dissolution of a less satisfying relationship. That's psych speak. You want it in English? Here's in English. You're so, for some reason, scared of being on your own. That you settle for less, and you won't leave it when it's bad. That's English version. Seven, this is the typical thing for women. And you'll notice that when some women call, because they'll say, I'm upset about something he does or she does, but I may be just overreacting, and it may just be my fault, and they just take it upon themselves. You take the blame. That's not your fault, but you take the blame. To keep the peace, to keep the guy or gal. So everything's got to be your fault. So you end up very depressed, unhappy, in a bad relationship, and you wonder why. Everybody should have to spend 10 years on their own. Yeah. Learning how to have friends, learning a job, learning skills, learning hobbies, traveling, having adventures, doing charity work, etc. Why? Before you have an actual, go into an attempt for an actual romantic relationship, because you won't tolerate garbage, and you'll hit the eject button if it appears it's garbage. I'm going to give you a few moments to think about that, because you may need to call me now. My number 1-800-375-2872.
