By far my favorite analogy, "You can't build a bridge from only one side of the bridge." I love this podcast, I'm so grateful for finding Sven.
This is so much of the same thing I am going through. Thank you for sharing this. I am 49, and my 2nd marriage is a failure, and I am so scared to leave, but I am so angry with myself for staying.
This podcast is awesome. I'm glad I hit subscribe.
