7
00:00:30,361 --> 00:00:33,881
Speaker 1: This week's submission it's a little bit confusing, it's a

8
00:00:33,961 --> 00:00:36,681
Speaker 1: little bit I'm not sure about this, so we're going

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,201

00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:43,601
Speaker 1: anonymous submission. We have no idea who you are. And

12
00:00:43,601 --> 00:00:45,841
Speaker 1: if you're listening and you want our advice, we've got

13
00:00:45,881 --> 00:00:48,281
Speaker 1: a link in the discription box below. Bring it in

14
00:00:48,321 --> 00:00:50,841
Speaker 1: as much context as possible. But let's get into today's episode.

15
00:00:50,921 --> 00:00:53,881
Speaker 1: Take it away, Let's get into it. Hey, girls, I

16
00:00:53,921 --> 00:00:56,041
Speaker 1: really need some advice. I've been seeing this guy for

17
00:00:56,081 --> 00:00:59,081
Speaker 1: about seven months and he's amazing. I love being around him,

18
00:00:59,121 --> 00:01:01,001
Speaker 1: and his family treats me as a part of the family,

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: and everything is good except for the fact that he

20
00:01:04,241 --> 00:01:07,241
Speaker 1: doesn't consider us to be in a relationship. Now.

21
00:01:07,281 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of conversations with him about what

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: we are and where we are going, and he keeps

23
00:01:11,401 --> 00:01:14,041
Speaker 2: saying that we are unofficially dating, which I was very

24
00:01:14,161 --> 00:01:17,241
Speaker 2: understanding about. However, I have also told him that I

25
00:01:17,321 --> 00:01:19,681
Speaker 2: see us as being in a relationship and he keeps

26
00:01:19,681 --> 00:01:22,241
Speaker 2: saying that he does too, but he's not ready for it,

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,241
Speaker 2: which again I understand and I don't want to push it.

28
00:01:25,521 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: But I'm just really struggling as if I don't feel

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,361
Speaker 2: like I'm getting the reassurance from him that he actually

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,321
Speaker 2: wants to be with me. But I know that he does,

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,241
Speaker 2: as I have been super sick the past few months

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,281
Speaker 2: and have been in and out of hospital. I'm doing

33
00:01:37,321 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: okay now, but he has always been there, no questions asked.

34
00:01:40,681 --> 00:01:42,561
Speaker 2: I guess I'm just lost on what to do, as

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: I know he cares about me and he talks about

36
00:01:44,401 --> 00:01:46,121
Speaker 2: all these plans he wants to do with me, but

37
00:01:46,161 --> 00:01:47,801
Speaker 2: he doesn't want us to be in a relationship at

38
00:01:47,801 --> 00:01:50,681
Speaker 2: the moment, which is really hard as everyone thinks that

39
00:01:50,721 --> 00:01:52,801
Speaker 2: we are in a relationship and I almost feel like

40
00:01:52,841 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm lying because I'm not telling them that we aren't

41
00:01:55,641 --> 00:01:58,441
Speaker 2: in his mind. Also, on top of that, I've been

42
00:01:58,481 --> 00:02:01,721
Speaker 2: recently diagnosed with endometriosis, which has taken its toll on

43
00:02:01,801 --> 00:02:03,721
Speaker 2: me and I've really needed him to be there for

44
00:02:03,801 --> 00:02:04,241
Speaker 2: me and.

45
00:02:04,201 --> 00:02:04,881
Speaker 1: To listen to me.

46
00:02:05,121 --> 00:02:07,281
Speaker 2: But most of the time his way of making me

47
00:02:07,321 --> 00:02:09,641
Speaker 2: feel better is talking about his dirt bike when that's

48
00:02:09,641 --> 00:02:11,241
Speaker 2: not what I need, or he just tells me I

49
00:02:11,321 --> 00:02:12,961
Speaker 2: worry too much and it will be fine, when a

50
00:02:12,961 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: lot of the times that's not what I want to hear.

51
00:02:15,201 --> 00:02:16,681
Speaker 2: I just want to feel like I can express my

52
00:02:16,721 --> 00:02:17,521
Speaker 2: emotions to him.

53
00:02:17,921 --> 00:02:18,521
Speaker 1: I don't know.

54
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,521
Speaker 2: I'm just starting to wonder whether I am waiting for

55
00:02:20,561 --> 00:02:22,601
Speaker 2: something to happen that won't happen, or if I'm just

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,161
Speaker 2: wanting too much. He's twenty one. I'm also twenty one.

57
00:02:26,481 --> 00:02:28,761
Speaker 2: I also have an anxious attachment style, which is probably

58
00:02:28,761 --> 00:02:31,001
Speaker 2: playing a massive part in all of this. Any good

59
00:02:31,001 --> 00:02:31,881
Speaker 2: advice would be good.

60
00:02:32,081 --> 00:02:35,601
Speaker 1: Aw Oh, okay, that's that. What do you mean? You're

61
00:02:35,641 --> 00:02:37,761
Speaker 1: not ready? Either you want to be in a relationship

62
00:02:37,841 --> 00:02:39,841
Speaker 1: or you don't. And if you're in the in between,

63
00:02:39,921 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: I think he needs to say to you the reason why.

64
00:02:43,041 --> 00:02:45,961
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying he's cheating or sleeping around, but

65
00:02:46,001 --> 00:02:49,601
Speaker 1: if he's wanting to unofficially be with you, is that

66
00:02:49,641 --> 00:02:52,321
Speaker 1: to keep other doors open? Like why if you're spending

67
00:02:52,321 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: all this time and investing all this time into each other.

68
00:02:55,081 --> 00:02:57,041
Speaker 1: What is his reason to not put a label on it?

69
00:02:57,161 --> 00:02:58,961
Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing about being in this like

70
00:02:59,041 --> 00:03:01,521
Speaker 2: weird limbo area is that it does create a lot

71
00:03:01,561 --> 00:03:05,521
Speaker 2: of confusion because someone's words and actions are incongruent and

72
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,681
Speaker 2: like his actions are one way and then his behavior

73
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:10,681
Speaker 2: is the complete opposite, which is why you're feeling so confused.

74
00:03:10,721 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: And yes, the anxious attachment can be a huge role

75
00:03:13,281 --> 00:03:16,321
Speaker 2: in it, but also it's actually his behavior is creating

76
00:03:16,361 --> 00:03:18,361
Speaker 2: that as well. Like who things can exist, You can

77
00:03:18,401 --> 00:03:21,041
Speaker 2: be anxious and his behavior can be creating more anxiousness

78
00:03:21,041 --> 00:03:23,601
Speaker 2: for you, definitely, So I think the biggest thing to

79
00:03:23,761 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: note in this is if he's not willing to put

80
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: a label on it, babe, Like he's telling you what

81
00:03:28,881 --> 00:03:32,601
Speaker 2: he wants, him saying that he's not ready for a relationship.

82
00:03:32,601 --> 00:03:33,201
Speaker 1: Baby, you got to.

83
00:03:33,201 --> 00:03:36,961
Speaker 2: Listen telling you black and white, he is saying I'm

84
00:03:36,961 --> 00:03:39,081
Speaker 2: not ready for this. And again, I know it's so

85
00:03:39,241 --> 00:03:42,481
Speaker 2: confusing because his behavior says otherwise, and you want to

86
00:03:42,481 --> 00:03:44,721
Speaker 2: pay attention to his behavior because it's what your heart wants,

87
00:03:45,401 --> 00:03:46,481
Speaker 2: but you've got to listen to.

88
00:03:46,441 --> 00:03:49,241
Speaker 1: His words too. I've been saved since I was nineteen,

89
00:03:49,321 --> 00:03:51,161
Speaker 1: so like, I can't talk. But you're both so young,

90
00:03:51,401 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: so got so much life to live, and I just

91
00:03:53,761 --> 00:03:55,601
Speaker 1: would hate for you to spend the next five years

92
00:03:55,601 --> 00:03:58,561
Speaker 1: of your life in this limbo questioning or if he

93
00:03:58,641 --> 00:04:01,161
Speaker 1: does go and sleep with someone else, or hook up

94
00:04:01,161 --> 00:04:03,761
Speaker 1: with someone else, or not share something with you, And

95
00:04:03,801 --> 00:04:05,641
Speaker 1: then if you'd be like, why didn't you like we're together?

96
00:04:05,681 --> 00:04:08,081
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, I've told you we're not officially dating.

97
00:04:08,161 --> 00:04:10,081
Speaker 1: That's right. What part of that did you not understand?

98
00:04:10,121 --> 00:04:13,081
Speaker 1: That's right? You know he is being quite open and honest.

99
00:04:13,121 --> 00:04:15,601
Speaker 1: I respect him for that, but yes, he will keep

100
00:04:15,721 --> 00:04:16,321
Speaker 1: right in this way.

101
00:04:16,441 --> 00:04:18,401
Speaker 2: Why should you allow it as if he wouldn't, why

102
00:04:18,401 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: would he not getting the girlfriend experience here? Yeah, cuddles.

103
00:04:21,561 --> 00:04:23,521
Speaker 1: You're probably cooking for him, I don't know, do a

104
00:04:23,561 --> 00:04:25,401
Speaker 1: lot of other things for it. I've done a lot

105
00:04:25,401 --> 00:04:28,121
Speaker 1: of other things. If you were going to say it, yeah,

106
00:04:28,121 --> 00:04:28,521
Speaker 1: I was.

107
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,841
Speaker 2: You were thinking it, yes, But this is where you

108
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,561
Speaker 2: and I know you're really young, baby, This is a

109
00:04:33,561 --> 00:04:36,601
Speaker 2: really beautiful opportunity for you to practice self worth and

110
00:04:36,681 --> 00:04:39,681
Speaker 2: to practice what you actually want from a relationshipre you're

111
00:04:39,681 --> 00:04:42,801
Speaker 2: willing to accept that's right, because what you allow will persist,

112
00:04:43,361 --> 00:04:46,241
Speaker 2: and what you don't stand for will actually stop those

113
00:04:46,241 --> 00:04:49,081
Speaker 2: behaviors from coming in. So say, if he's creating confusion

114
00:04:49,081 --> 00:04:51,881
Speaker 2: in your mind now and this is not actually what

115
00:04:51,921 --> 00:04:54,001
Speaker 2: you want, you don't want the confusion and you don't

116
00:04:54,001 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: want to stand for that, it's time that you put

117
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,561
Speaker 2: your foot down and go, Hey, I'm actually not allowing

118
00:04:58,561 --> 00:05:01,241
Speaker 2: this behavior anymore. This doesn't feel good for me. Yeah,

119
00:05:01,241 --> 00:05:05,601
Speaker 2: like this wishy washy in between like uncertainty, Absolutely fucking not.

120
00:05:05,921 --> 00:05:08,481
Speaker 1: I think you would really respect you too to say that.

121
00:05:08,561 --> 00:05:10,241
Speaker 1: He'd be like, oh gosh, she's the one who knows

122
00:05:10,281 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: what she wants. That's right. It's like step up to

123
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,241
Speaker 1: the plate mate. If you're not ready to be here

124
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,041
Speaker 1: and fully be here with me, then I'm going to

125
00:05:16,081 --> 00:05:18,761
Speaker 1: find someone that will. Yeah, and you probably set him free,

126
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:20,921
Speaker 1: or he'll step up to the plate and you get

127
00:05:20,961 --> 00:05:22,041
Speaker 1: to give him that choice.

128
00:05:22,241 --> 00:05:24,241
Speaker 2: He's also young as well, right, he doesn't sound like

129
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: he's willing enough to be super honest with you about

130
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:28,401
Speaker 2: being like, hey, I'm going to cut this off. He

131
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,241
Speaker 2: wants to ride the wave, unfortunately, and not saying that

132
00:05:31,641 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: he's using you or anything. I'm sure you guys have

133
00:05:33,561 --> 00:05:36,161
Speaker 2: a great time together and there's connection and all that

134
00:05:36,241 --> 00:05:39,241
Speaker 2: hair I love, But he doesn't sound like he's taking

135
00:05:39,281 --> 00:05:41,201
Speaker 2: you seriously in the way that I believe that you

136
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: would deserve.

137
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:44,281
Speaker 1: And what you're desiring and what you're desiring. Yeah, you're

138
00:05:44,281 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: not on the same page. So I think you need to, Yeah,

139
00:05:46,761 --> 00:05:49,561
Speaker 1: practice yourself worth. Know that you deserve more, and there

140
00:05:49,601 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: is someone out there that would be willing and wanting

141
00:05:51,481 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: to give that to you so naturally.

142
00:05:53,401 --> 00:05:55,801
Speaker 2: And here's the thing as well, if you are wanting

143
00:05:55,801 --> 00:05:58,401
Speaker 2: to call in a new level or a quotation's new

144
00:05:58,481 --> 00:06:02,361
Speaker 2: caliber relationship, you have to be willing to stop entertaining

145
00:06:02,361 --> 00:06:05,721
Speaker 2: the old stuff first before the new stuff will come in, right,

146
00:06:05,761 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: Because you can't entertain someone who's wishy washy about you

147
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,281
Speaker 2: but then be like, I want the high caliberman who

148
00:06:10,401 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: chooses me. It just doesn't work like that, because the

149
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,481
Speaker 2: universe or whoever that you believe in is going to

150
00:06:15,641 --> 00:06:18,681
Speaker 2: require you to believe in yourself first and foremost and go,

151
00:06:19,081 --> 00:06:22,481
Speaker 2: I choose me first. Yeah, Because this situation, this situation

152
00:06:22,601 --> 00:06:23,281
Speaker 2: right now.

153
00:06:23,361 --> 00:06:24,521
Speaker 1: Is screaming to you.

154
00:06:25,001 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: Do you choose him or do you choose yourself? Yeah?

155
00:06:28,081 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: And this is the work for you.

156
00:06:30,561 --> 00:06:32,201
