" Eye Opening ! " when he mentioned how in the past... he would " mistakenly " think... the " wrong thoughts... " and he would realize... " what was I thinking ??? "
So true. The first thing I told my partner was that no matter what he says, I will always first look at what he does. His actions are louder than words any day!!!
Hello I recommend you to Dr James he helped me reconnected back my broken relationship and made my home secured from third parties within 2 days I advice you seek help from him..
"Your Job is to take care of your. You are the only person who has been there every second of every day for your entire life." This made me cry. Thanks for the reminder.
The part that said, "give them space and freedom, enough to betray you, in order to know that you have what you wanted, when they don't betray despite having the freedom to do so. That's my standard." stole the show for me!
that's how I live. I give you that trust... until you betray it. I'm not gonna watch you like a hawk, I'm not your mother and I don't have time for that.
@@aurora8749 OR....that "you" may have unresolved trust issues from a former relationship. Either one can be true, or they may both be true at the same time. Unjustified suspicions and controlling behaviour can kill a relationship just as easily as any "real" act of infidelity can. So believing that just because you "feel" insecure about somebody's behaviour means that they're actually guilty of what you're feeling....is not really great advice. This feeling alone will destroy the relationship, whether its justified or not. In the final post-mortem however, it could actually be YOU that brought harmful feelings to the relationship and made its lack of success inevitable. That's why it's important to always link ones "feelings" to the reality of each current relationship, and not to bring baggage with you. The person you're with now should never be made to suffer because of the actions of the person you were with beforehand. Not least of all because the person you're currently with will sense this and become repelled by the emotional injustice of it. They'll probably bail on you and tell you that you were obviously not ready for a "new" relationship....and whatsmore.....they'll be right!!
28:25 TRUST YOURSELF A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on it’s own wings. Always believe in yourself.
On second thought, my past patterns make me NOT trust myself. That's is where I'm stuck. Raised in a abusive narc home with bpd narc mother and sociopath father and older sister. As the empath, sensitive one in the family, I was conditioned to overlook bad behavior. I subconsciously picked these toxic partners and friends. They are all gone and the great awakening is happening here, lots of healing. However, when I really reflect on the past patterns it becomes obvious and overwhelming. I'd rather be alone than ever enter another narc relationship. It's the most draining thing. Taking my life back, finding peace. Can't risk losing it. But thinking deeper, I've done sooooo much research on these personality disorders, I can spot them fairly quickly in people now. Maybe I can trust myself at this stage.
Yes, it really is easier said than done. It's horrible when you know you are not safe. Especially when you're not safe emotionally as opposed to not safe physically. Being not safe physically seems sooo urgent to me. Being not safe emotionally allows for discussion, a second attempt. Perhaps even a third. Perhaps even a need to consider that your view isn't the only possible viewpoint. It can be a well meaning downward slide that happens because you are trying to be understanding of another person. And compared to the upheaval of deciding who gets which pet, who leaves the established home, what happens with the children, family, friends, holidays, etc. It can seem that being unsafe emotionally is equally as traumatizing as the upheaval required to end the abuse. And then there is the concern that it could all happen again in a future relationship. Definitely not an easy deck of cards to shuffle through. I admire those who manage to make the difficult choices, learn the needed lessons and successfully build a good life going forward. They really are their own heroes.
How is self-proclaimed NPD expert and his cold treatment? Looks like it didn't work? But if it would have done, it would've been such a great supply for him - people being humiliated and ripped apart for their own money and him feeling glee of being mastermind of it all.
Watching this captivating video stirs up painful memories of the recent end of my 4 year relationship. My beloved partner chose to depart, leaving me with an unyielding ache. Despite my relentless efforts to reconcile, I find myself grappling with frustration and an inability to envision a future without her. Despite attempts to purge her from my mind, I remain haunted by his absence, feeling compelled to express my longing here.
Its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 5 years ended, but i couldn't just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back.
The right relationship has a calming effect on us. That one really hit me. In my past relationships I was always so stressed out. Thank you for this incredible insight!
@cyborg1320 this is because toxic "unavailable" men keep their mind CONSTANTLY engaged on what the hell he's doin and up to. If he does what he says he's gonna do, that man apparently becomes BORING. "HEY I'm gonna run to the gas station real quick ill BRB. U want anything?" Women already calculate how long it takes to get there (10 min) and how long it takes to get back (10 min again) and calculate how long it'll take u to get snacks how long it'll take u to stand in line (say another 10 mins) so in 30 to 35 mins 40 max you should be back. If this happens CONSTANTLY, she's got u figured out and u lost mystery. The suggestion is to stay out LONGER than normal. Drive slower etc, so it takes longer for you to get home. This FORCES her to automatically WONDER about you. "damn what's taking him so long.. It's been 45 mins just to goto the gas station.. He ain't out w no chck is he.. I saw that girl at the counter lookin at him last time" And there some of them can go. Mystery happening. Now THIS constantly happening has her mind on him a LOT. his phone beep, now you're wondering, now it don't beep, now you're wondering if he told someone NOT to txt. Etc playing on their insecurities to keep them engaged with you so you don't become boring. Once they figure u out they leave. To me personally this is so dumb. Why are u gonna be set on the edge of ur seat like that, or constantly wondering who they talkin to when a txt comes in etc. Who they flirting with, smiling at, getting numbers from. I'm 38, I ain't tryin to go through all that mess. If me doing what I say I do make me boring, then so be it then. Imma BORING @ss dood then. 😂 Atleast you know I can keep my word on small stuff so of course imma keep my word on bigger stuff. It's frustrating bc after 13 yrs she say "it's bc were too comfortable" Like WHO wants to be uncomfortable with a person.. You go thriugh uncomfortable phases to BECOME comfortable with them. Means you can TRUST THEM. Or u suppose to.. If that makes me a weird one, then hell, I'm just WEIRD then. 😂
@@daviedood2503 The only coaches/counsellors who give such advice are the toxic and manipulative ones themselves. Unfortunately, psychology attracts a lot of such people. They learn who to manipulate people better and they get constant supply in form of vulnerable and trusting clients. I would be very careful choosing your psychologist/coach, etc.
I absolutely loved when Matthew said “don’t worry about trusting whether or not you can trust that someone will never hurt you. Trust yourself and that you will know how to handle it and how to walk away if they do.”
Matthew you’re great. I dated a Matthew that just dropped me like I was nothing and it def took some years off my life and they actually bully me . Cancer should hit them soon
What was freaking fire for me was “You don’t trust that someone’s never going to betray you - you just trust that you’ll be able to handle it if they do, that you’ll be able to walk away. Stop worrying about whether you can trust someone else maybe you can’t. We don’t know that, only time will tell.”
My intuition is never wrong. A lot of people tell me I don’t give people a chance but if I’m feeling some kind of way about the person and I don’t know what it is yet I will leave it alone. Later on I find out I was right.
'Toxicity is when being vulnerable with a person hurts you more...when you feel embarrassed, judged, humiliated. less than, unworthy... then something is broken in how you relate to each other.'
We’ve got to keep educating people about abuse tactics. The longer you stay, the more you tolerate, the weaker you become and the harder it is to extract.
‘If that person can’t deliver if that person can’t give me what I need, my feelings for that person are irrelevant!’ I’m keeping this for me to help cope with my heartbreak. 💔😔
I got to that breaking point, and realized I was wasting my time. I was grieving the loss of my whole family and he couldn't deliver the real love that I needed. I felt it.
“Your job first and foremost is to take care of YOU. That’s your number one job in the world.” - I began to cry when I heard these words. After a lifetime of thinking that the main reason you are lovable is just because you are always taking care of others, giving and serving…it can be so hard to feel like It’s actually okay to put yourself first. It can feel so painful to put your needs ahead of others, because you feel so much fear they will no longer love you. Being giving and nurturing is NOT the only thing that makes you worthwhile or valuable in a relationship - you are a beautiful masterpiece, flaws and all! Love yourself, live the life you deserve!
Unity Nada ...you are so right, it is that hit if validation and kindness that triggers are emotion ms and covers the red flags, we are so used up by giving all the time and missing the most important peice ..to give unto yourself .. and that is so difficult because it is such a mindshift if you always lead with your heart. We are taught to believe that us selfish so we now down and carer whilst denying ourselves full expression. You need to power up, turn on your own light switch of safety and protection from within and can only do this by putting yourself first (like walking through fire) loveinf yourself, protecting yourself, setting and honoring boundaries fir yourself and take down the wall that you've build and except gifts from nit only yourself but from others. Goodness shines its light through the dark spaces, it also empowers you against the silent sadistic personalities that play on your vulnerability and kindness but also key into the masochistic tendencies we've been engaging in on ourselves. Rule be kinder to yourself than to the other, your strength 💪 is needed gir service in God's work.
@@esthermisch1170 First steps? Set boundaries, don’t let other people use you any more by just lovingly and calmly saying “no”, focus on self-care, make decisions for YOU, do what makes you truly happy and not just what you think will make others like you. Easier said than done, but if you start to take these steps you will start to live the life you deserve, truly free. 🙏🏼💕
My take home lesson is that I need to trust myself to be okay if the other person does hurt me. My number one job is to look after me. I've had me through the best and rough days of my life and I owe it to myself to take care of me!
This really resonated with me, thank you. I have forgotten to take care of myself and be there for myself for a long time. It’s time to change things up.
@Gemma Dann I didn’t mean it like that. I tend to burn myself out putting needs of others before my own. I try to give myself the effort and love that I give my significant other. I am indeed capable of caring for myself financially and materialistically.
I think when you are clear on your values and boundaries, you can communicate them and know when someone crosses the line. We all have those things that are a hard no or betrayal for us. We can then trust ourselves to do the right thing. Like Matthew says, in this case it doesn’t matter about your feelings or how much you love them, you have to judge on their actions.
It's toxic when you're trying to tell them that you want different things but they want to keep seeing you anyways without committing after you've told them that's what you want.
In that situation right now. I never thought I would be. Broke up because he lied, cheated, and convinced me I was to blame. But continued to see him for intimacy, justifying it by saying I didn't want to meet someone new. What was I thinking? He was a waste of my time. I am breaking it off for good today. I'd rather be alone than with him, resenting him and loathing myself for being there. Next time I'll have good boundaries and stick to them!
And... I *loved* ♥️ this too: _"I keep a record not only of times I've been right, but also of times I've been wrong."_ *Honest. Self responsibility. Growth opportunity!*
“Don’t worry about if you can trust your significant other. The most important things is to trust yourself, that you can walk away at any time.” Brilliant!
“You don’t trust that someone’s never going to betray you, you just trust that you’ll be able to handle it if they do” -Matthew Hussey. That phrase alone,,🤯 So true! Words to live by!!! ❤️
@@Angelthunder11 There are no guarantees, some are skilled players and you never see it coming so I think what Matthew is saying is don’t fear what may happen just have faith in yourself that you can handle anything.
This I’ve learned. Never place more energy into anything than what you’re receiving. Life is about checks and balances. When the scale isn’t balanced, we feel taken advantage, unsafe, etc. We strive for balance, but not everyone can deliver…now, I match others, and when I feel I may be giving more, I scale back and see what changes. This has been a savior for me.
I was told reasons why he might not message back, or see it, ect. I tried to accept it but once it became to much i brought up with him and told him it made me feel insecure and overthink. He said it was weird to overthink. From then on, communication got worse and i sent my final message saying i liked him but i couldnt just be in a casual relationship, if thats where it was going. He just got defensive in his last message and thats where it ended.
I guess i did give plenty of time and chances to initate and converse back but he never delivered. I just have to remind myself that i did my best to be understanding and compassionate of his situation but also have to respect my own needs and boundaries
THIS! "...now, I match others, and when I feel I may be giving more, I scale back and see what changes." Learning to scrupulously police things like reciprocity at the START of relationships helps me weed out users early on so I can relax and be naturally generous self with GOOD people. ❤
My experience of red flags is something akin to this: he insults you. He cuts you off when you speak. He rolls his eyes at you when you speak. He treats you like a servant. He's excessively self centered. He's sexually selfish. He's easily angered. He treats you like property but not a person (even early on). He tries to sabotage your efforts to be self sufficient and to meet other people. He doesn't say yes or no but always maybe yet expects you to wait for him in case it's suddenly "yes". If you have other plans he tries to sabotage. He talks about himself constantly. He doesn't listen to you. He brags. He doesn't accept a no from you. He changes plans constantly. He talks very negatively about people. He's not concerned with your safety, wellbeing or happiness. I mean these are even early red flags, 2 days in or so.
100% My list starts and end with “He insults you”. That’s it. Game over. I know where it goes and I’m not sticking around for it. Also, special mention to guys that are in a rush to be with you. Slam the brakes. They are up to no good and they hope you don’t find out.
certainly, although it's kind of common sense for me. I wouldn't even want to be friends with that kind of person. Who would want to be around that kind of person?
Agreed. There is program now for young people called "The shark cage". Teaching how to recognise those sharks and protect yourself and find healthy relationships.
I just want to say one little thing that happened recently with me and my new partner. My weapon is going cold on someone, try as I might, my affection disappears, it's like I become repelled from the person and I physically distance myself from them and I wont look at them as much. My partner noticing this reaction, didn't say anything, he continued to make dinner, he poured me a glass of wine, he let me watch TV in silence while he cooked. And then when I came into the kitchen we just stared meaningfully at each other and he knew something was wrong and he gently pushed my hair behind my ear and said quietly "Are you mad at me? Did I do something to upset you?". It completely changed how I felt, I instantly wanted to tell him everything I was feeling. I am so used to men being defensive and passive aggressive, this was the best thing he could have done. I am so proud of him and his intuitive reaction to my weapon.
Still this is basically asking men to be mind readers. Just be forward and honest, because what YOU we're doing is also passive aggressive. Many men aren't as socially adept as women so we need honest straightforward communication. Hoping we can read your blank stare is not a healthy communication habit
@@bloowhalez I'll let you in on a fact: No one said anything about mind reading. Just acknowledging behaviour and Men often know what they do to women they are dating/are married to. If you think or claim men are too stewpid to know, then you are either a liar or ignorant.
@ Juliet Hunter I used to do this and realized it is so unfair to my partner. The man has to constantly chase your emotions and it eventually wears him down, deteriorating your relationship in the process. It's best to talk out your concerns
@@DiamondsRexpensive yeah but "being cold" aka sitting there quietly fuming and then also when asked saying nothing is wrong, is the wrong way to fix something. Again, instant by my statement, which is true, many men AND women say this, men are NOT mind readers. Stop using passive aggressive behavior. Don't justify that. If you have a problem say something. By saying nothing you are saying there's no problem. Basically stop playing mind games. It's unhealthy.
@@DiamondsRexpensive also you spelled Diamond wrong and Stupid wrong. Makes me wonder how you can call people stupid when you can't even spell English words correctly.
His opening line is grand. That is something I recently realized. Worry less about wondering what they want and what they are going to do but instead concern myself more with how I feel after spending time with them.
I think one of the red flags is going through TH-cam to find out whether your partner is toxic or not after just one month of dating.. The answer is already there XD
Well... YT algorithm showed me this video. I'm married😅🤣 and don't suffer from any of that, only reason I clicked is actually because of my cousin. Idk how to help him.... because I'm not the normal person who knows what it is to have your heart broken so It takes me a while to understand this behavior or letting yourself get the best of you because of that.
Communication is everything. I just got out of a long relationship with someone who kept things to himself until something triggered him to blow up. He would hold resentment instead of talking things out and trying to find a solution. I'd pour my heart out to him and tell him what I'm feeling and trying to be on the same page, and he would completely shut down and avoid conversation. He was bad alcoholic and was dishonest frequently. Being physically alone is just the same as being with a partner who doesn't reciprocate emotionally. I'm glad to be done with the toxicity.
Good for you! Happy you got away! But let me add that being physically alone with your self-respect and dignity is 100x BETTER than being with someone who disrespects you and makes you feel bad about yourself 💕
If every human , men and women, could communicate the way Matt does, this world would be such a better place. Thank you Lisa for this great interaction.
Nah gender roles are outdated. Everyone has both feminine and masculine aspects ☯️ that they need to balance if they want to attract a balance relationship
@@joanofarc1470 he's usually very private about his relationships. We only found out about Camila Cabello cause she's constantly in the spotlight. But regardless, there is nothing wrong with being single. It means he knows his value and won't settle for less. Like all of us should. He's a hansome & intelligent man. If he wishes to have a girlfriend, he will have no difficulties getting one.
MY NOTES FROM THIS PODCAST: 10:37 people reveal who they are not through their words but through situations/in order to really know who or how someone is you have to see them in enough situations. 22:09 if they cant give you what you need then your feelings towards them are irrelevant. 28:25 You don’t trust that someone’s never going to betray you - you just trust that you’ll be able to handle it if they do, that you’ll be able to walk away. Stop worrying about whether you can trust someone else maybe you can’t. We don’t know that, only time will tell.
I loved his comment about how people defined themselves through situations and not by their words! I can’t really ever get to know someone unless you’ve had enough situations with them! I feel like so many times we get caught up in the fairytale of the words instead of the realistic aspects of who they are! Thank you so much for this video!!! Loved it!
My entire life solved in 48 minutes and 22 seconds. Thank you Matthew. The calm, comforting and nurturing tone of this conversation was just what I needed at this time.
Oh! The point at around the 22:05 mark spoke just to me.. And just before that, someone telling you that they "miss you" is absolutely ZERO information. It's great to have a laugh at how the interactions can happen when you try to move away!
I have a degree in psychology and not only did I do case studies. I was in a very vulnerable state in my life when I met a true narcissist, which I refused to see all the signs. I was with him for five years and it was too late to get out before I was completely destroyed internally. Everything Matthew described I experienced and I’m still working on healing/recovering from that relationship almost a year later, which has been the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I can write a book on his behavior and how it impacted me, from confident and happy, to doubting myself in every aspect, feeling humiliated, unhappy, sad, and worthless. I had to get my own therapist before leaving him and he even controlled my sessions by making me tell him everything was talked about in my session. He got angry when I said he was brought up in my sessions. I still see my therapist and do plenty of meditation. Please, don’t ignore the signs and run!
Me too! I’ve been single most of my adult life..... it’s calm, I can do what I like when I like, no one is critical of me or putting me down...... love it! Freedom! Enjoy!😁😁😁😁
Anita, I am 58. Heartbroken after a 6 year relationship with a man that never delivered! My fault for staying that long. Now, I feel too old to start all over and is hard to find friends my age that have the time to go out, go on trips etc... Please give me some insight.
I love hearing the difference between a toxic person and basic incompatibility! Not wanting to make things work in a relationship doesn't make someone a bad person. Thanks Matthew and Lisa!
But, things can change during a relationship - you may never have lead someone on but somewhere along the line your feelings change - that’s natural and signifies a mismatch - not that you never meant it in the first place
"You are with you every second of every day. It is your job to take care of you. If that person cant deliver, or give you what you need, your feelings about that person do not matter." Yup. I needed to hear that. I forgive too easy for treatment that doesnt hold up to my standards.
There is nothing wrong with forgiving them. But continuing to make excuses for the person and go back is a different matter. You can forgive them and still walk away.
This man totally reaches me and totally clears all the emotional junk in my head. For some reason I can clearly receive his message and teachings. Definitely will be listening to him more.

So much good stuff here. I have dated a man who treated me poorly and I walked away. I’ve also noticed that a number of men want to jump the gun because of a projection they have of me online. They see a cool chick who loves God and plays the guitar. They don’t really know me but they are already thinking I’m this perfect person. One guy started comparing me to A young Michelle Branch.. I’m 41 years old! It’s a turn off to me when people project their image of me and “fall in love” with that image instead of getting to know me.
Yep. I get it all the time. They think I'm perfect from what they see of me online but they don't know me and they already have such an idealized fantasy of me that I can't meet them because they've made me this goddess in their mind. No. I'm a real person and I can't live up to the woman they've made up in their heads.
You met him online, yes? he was memorizing your pictures and profile and projection happens. This is why it's important to meet as soon as possible - always. And no long distance relationships without an immediate meet up.
One more! “People reveal who they are not through their words but through situations.” This is so much better than ‘actions speak louder than words’. Situations are totally spot on! 🤯
@@cateyes0068what is your desired result with a comment like that? So we view it differently, it doesn’t mean either view is wrong as long as we are learning and moving forward. Next time maybe consider another point of view with acceptance knowing we all view the world through a different lens and it’s okay.
As a narc abuse survivor, It took me so long to overcome that trauma I went through. Currently, the one I’m with is giving off such narc traits and my brain keeps signaling me. I can’t even not pay attention to it😢. I have decided to have my own space and move on.
15:14 - Great Advice ! This applies to courtship as well ! Your feelings don’t matter!! ... if they’re not reciprocating basic interest in you (questions, initiating conversation,..) take a step back to recognize this and catch yourself : remain polite but stop the flirting and interest! Leaving it at “hello” is more than enough. In other words, start acting with your head and stop acting on emotion.
Oh man, learning some uncomfortable lessons atm. I was dating someone who was speaking to me in a very kind and caring way in person and on text. And they came on pretty strong at first but after only some weeks I noticed I'm the one putting more energy into the connection. But because i have experience of being anxious in bad relationships from the past, i tried to put those feelings aside thinking this is my anxious attachment speaking. I finally actually used Matthew's advice and communicated my standards in a kind and respectful way and he indicated that he understood and he put a tad more energy into it. And i let things continue again even though it still felt off. And finally he just broke it off with me. I was so blinded by his kind words and reassurance that i stuck around letting my standards slide. And also the scarcity mindest made me think i need to hold onto this connection. Going forward i need to be able to bravely move away when a pattern emerges. And judge people by their actions, this is so important. I brushed away the warnings of my sensitive alarm system dismissing it as anxious attachment.
Perhaps someone has already said this, but Matthew Hussey’s: ‘Our weapons destroy relationships, but our wounds have the power to strengthen them’🤯🤩This was like a simultaneous head smack & hug-As Lisa Bilyeu would say “it’s Fiyah!” And yes it is🔥
Thank YOU for this definition of 'toxicity' - "when being vulnerable with a person hurts you more. . . Instead of soothes you. . ." (9:20). Reassuring that I made a good decision to end a recent relationship, but need to follow my intuition. (Very disturbing experience.)
I think leaving a relationship is never the wrong choice. Because not being in a particular relationship can never hurt you. Whereas being in a relationship that is not healthy definitely will. So yeah, me might sometimes leave relationships that we didn't need to leave but that is not a "wrong" decision, if anything it might be unfortunate. I wish you all the best on your way :)
@@LaNoireDetruit Thank you. It was unfortunate that I chose to not follow my gut feeling/intuition and not get involved. The cons far outweighed the pros in a short time. It felt like I was chosen as an escape during a hard time and expected to fit neatly into some unspoken plan. Manipulative. My feelings were constantly discounted. Lessons!
This really hit me also. It’s like I was always made to feel worse. Sometimes I felt heard but then it’s like the disrespect returned in some way, shape , or form.
You can tell a toxic person by how your energy is effected in the individual’s presence. Pay close attention to how you change around the person. For women, they start changing badly right away. The minute she starts going with the guy she starts gliding downhill immediately. For example, her performance on the job or career starts dropping sharply. Coming in late, over staying breaks, getting called in by management and things like that. And then she develops a snobbish don’t care about nothing attitude. Others will surely notice how she’s changing and may accuse the guy of bringing her down, but he’s not doing anything. Just hanging around him is whats doing it. His toxic energy setting off hers. If she steps away from the guy for a day she’ll go back to her original self and every time she’s with him again she’ll glide down again.
Yep spot on.....have completely experienced this! My marriage became toxic..... Now I'm separated the 'grey' is lifting off all the things that use to make my heart sing e.g. like art, gardenning and learning guitar! All my interests became dull, now I'm bringing them back to life🥀🌷🌱 not sure what the future holds but I'm enjoying me.
@@katrinax_x3689 You mean a man with a toxic woman? If that’s what you mean, of course. A man will start gliding down in her toxic company. Though the decaying process appears more rapid with women around a toxic man.
This is the most sensible discussion of autonomy and relationship I have seen in 20 years. Thanks for descriptions beyond labeling other people where the dynamics are a total mismatch without pathologizing the other party. That popular mistaken habit is destroying not just relationships but entire families.

Oh my gosh. When he said, if I loved me the way they say they loved me, what would I be willing to sacrifice or compromise in order to be with me. That was a POWERFUL statement. This is the first red flag that your partner is *not* genuine!!!!
“Don’t be unevenly yolked” is general advice I got from the bible about having equal relationships where each person pulls their weight. You don’t have to make them a bad person in order to say that they aren’t going to walk alongside you through life.
equal in what? Age? then why so many same age reationship fails?.....Equal in amount of money? Women prefer wealthier men, Equal in Heigh? again women prefer tall men....Equal in what?
@@moisesbeyond You make it seem like men pull more weight, but actually it is women who do more. More caring/more housework/more secretary type work at work. Caring, remembering holidays, getting gifts and cards. The list is endless.
@@nofybn7794 If that is true then why women dont allow men to stay at home while she works? why is always that rather she stay home and request to the man go get a Job?? holidays, getting gifts and cards IS NOT a JOB ...is a FUN activity that is NOT FORCE but a CHOICE.....
I walked away when I still cared and liked him. I thought this would make me feel bad but it made me learn about myself and how to deal with my bad tendencies and it solidified that I really made the right decision. It was a bad situation with the lots of the tendencies that we both had that they mentioned which meant that we would’ve never worked out because both of us weren’t healed and we didn’t want to work on our problems for ourselves and each other. We also didn’t really match in what we wanted from each other and could or was willing to give each other. So both of toxic tendencies and incompatibility combined just lead to the inevitable breakup. Im still glad I did try it with him cause I learned about myself and relationships. Now I can work on them and heal to become a better person for myself and the next person I’m gonna be with. And now I know what to do next time- what to watch out for, how to proceed in a relationship properly through stages, what I want/don’t want and what I can tolerate or not. Thank you for the lessons and the insight. I can only hope to internalize it and put it into action.
OMG I went through a similar situation a few years back! We both weren't healed enough to have a proper relationship. In the end I broke up because I felt his display and feelings of love towards me was stronger than what I felt towards him. We were constantly fighting because he felt that. Anyways, he was never abusive or anything, I think we just weren't meant to be.
Very similar to my situation, I have really realised that taking accountability is the key to growth. It can be a very painful process but the person you come out as at the end is worth it.
Ultimately it all boils down to control and realizing that in many situations we have to let go of the imaginary control we thought we had or wish we had. Learning to let go and develop a mindset of gratefulness for what you do have is a game changer.
I NEVER worry about being cheated on. If it happens, I leave immediately. Do not give others power over you and your happiness. Anyone willing to take you for granted does not deserve your presence, much less free rent in your head.
Thank you. 16 months after my husband walked out and refused contact for months, no explanation and with me believing we were soul mates, I watched this. And it rang so true I cried. But I know it's time to let go, it's old wounds hurting, not me actually wanting him. You are both brilliant- thank you
May I ask, was it a religious marriage? Are you practicing your religion of birth (in particular your husband ) or not? I’ m finding man who have a strong believe in God the Creator and adhere to a traditional religious system are not inclined to cheat, break up a sacred marriage before God etc. It’s easier for modern secular men though Look out for God he will heal you, in a way human dating advice can’t
Sorry for your hurt and wounds. I hope you're able to find healing and love yourself. I know, It's not about wanting them back but hurting g over the wounds that they have caused.
@@ghanaina12 - thank you so much for your kind words. Time has been a great healer. Finding my own strength has made me a more confident person. Kind words such as yours have helped in a huge way. There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Having faith in my own strength is what I have learned from the experience. Thank you again- I wish you wonderful blessings- your time and kindness means so much xx
You are the lucky one.So many women would love their husbands to walk away yet they seat like the glue the bulldog glue Enjoy your freedom,freedom is priceless
This was an excellent chat, Thankyou . At around 14 minutes, I suspect that we activate each others shadow through intimacy. It’s far more complex than we typically consider it.
I agree. In my past relationship the real challenges for me (and her) kicked in when I was looking for more than a 7/10 on the intimacy scale (emotional).. Seeking clear communication and resolution was a clear point of activation and was perceived as a threat. It’s classic anxious-avoidant territory.
This chat is so brutal....but it is the most hardest truth, I needed to hear It's like someone is slapping me so hard ,over and over to snap out of it ..
Omg. So powerful at 27:44. You wouldn’t know if someone will cheat on you but you can trust yourself that you can and will move on. Wow thanks Matt where are you? Powerful message there!
Absolutely spot on. The complexities of human relationships, especially when we're just getting to know someone. I am currently starting out on something new with someone and am navigating the waters with a new awareness of self ie, my past emotional baggage, traumas, triggers, reactions etc and finding the courage to remain authentic and vulnerable within all of that. It's scary as all holy hell BUT we never know if it's worth the risk if we don't try. We can spend our lives protecting our heart but we also end up living half a life.
I like to think along a more positive line of reasoning by practicing giving a partner space-time to breathe(not smothering them), to grow beyond the shade of my own desire for growth (you've never seen two Oak trees growing inches away from each other)-- their individual branches would block out needed Sunlight.
great tips, i couldn't believe my eyes or ears? i don't know but the end is fascinating ! bear in mind that when you sleep with yourselves then the red flag can't be used, it's absolutely different then, especially the deciding process whether yes or not . but i would recommend you if you rely on your experience in bed then don't do that and if you really rely on it then don't do it and if you really really rely on it then i can recommend you the best expereince ever with drops that i found spanish fly
Amazing... Loving you, supporting you, protecting you, and all of those needs we look outside of ourselves for. “Your number one job in the world is to look after you.” This is just what I needed. Total confirmation from an honest, vulnerable soul ✨

30:20 "needing the space to see if u can be trusted" This is very true. Because there's a word that needs to be remebered. It's called INTEGRITY. This is doing the right thing, even when NO ONE is looking.
I feel like crying listening to this, I wish I heard this before. Why people don't appreciate open and honest communication right from the start of getting acquainted?
Being self-aware is everything to have trust- trusting yourself more than being afraid if you can trust others, stating how you feel and then what you need and then see if someone can meet you there. If there's a gap, or if you're made to feel bad for being vulnerable, then here is where you take care of yourself...which is your ONE JOB...and be ok to choose yourself and walk away from a relationship where you cannot meet them where they are or they cannot meet you where you are. This was just what I needed to hear right now, continuing in my own growth and self-awareness. Thank you!
I am so happy you said this and 10000% agree. "Labeling" and using the words "toxic" or "narcissist" is way over used. I'm an lvn and worked in therapy for years. It makes me cringe!!! Because it's actually disrespectful to the person you are saying it towards, rather than just saying, your relationship didn't work. Yes, there's "toxic" and "narcissistic" relationships..... but not as much as people label. I LOVE THIS VIDEO ♡♡
I learned a new word ‘phatic’ used with responding to texts with the one you’re no longer with. WOW! That encapsulated the relationship: small talk in texts with no new information re: commitment. As Matthew says. ‘It’s all about respecting yourself; your time, & your energy.’ My grandmother used to say, ‘Put a price on yourself.’ Don’t give yourself away for free. You deserve to be in reciprocal, loving relationships in your life. ❤
It's so exhausting to worry about what if. I trust a person until they prove me otherwise then I will choose me and heal myself. I learned from my past relationships of cheating, lies, and disappointments. I know it is time to let go and focus on myself. The more you love them the more they hurt you because you gave so much of yourself to make them happy. Time do heal all wounds and you learn to identify the red flags.
When he said on the first date and the other person is saying oh I think your so great and so on when they don't know you bc I just went through the same situation where the other person was sitting there telling me how beautiful I was how wonderful and great he thought I was and he didn't even barely know me and it ended up being a very bad relationship he ended up hurting me so that is definitely a red sign when on the first date they tell you how great you are and they don't even know you.
I love how Matthew is letting us in on his own personal mistakes in relationships a totally different more relatable and comfortable space for the viewers less valnurable.
Mattew is a very intuitive and perceptive person and I have learned so much with him but I have given up completely on relationships. They have been a source of pain many a time, too many times and now I am contented with myself, books, and nature and some friends. Maybe in my next life I will be wiser! Good luck to the people how still has hope! (I am 68 years old now by the way).
I have been with a man diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (but untreated - also not telling me before, after 2 years of chaos, I suspect what's happening and finally it comes out). And let me tell you: FEELINGS OF A DYSREGULATED PERSON DO NOT MAKE FACTS!!! It's utterly unimaginable to be at the receiving end of someone so traumatised that you breathing sets them off. I have endless compassion for him and anyone with this condition. It is extrrmly hard to have it. And it is also nearly impossible to be the loved-one. They hold you hostage.
This is so true. It's also an angle I never had thought of for this issue. We are taught, especially as women, to always cater and jump for the man we "love". That's drummed into us from baby hood on. It's hard to unlearn these toxic roles.
People stay in bad relationships because admitting they made a mistake in all that they gave that relationship is harder than using all that they gave as an excuse to stay. People don't want to change, even if it's for the better.
Yes. Also, it’s hard to let go of a relationship you’ve invested money, resources and emotions in. People don’t want their investment, especially financially for men, to be for nothing.
@@aurora8749 Comfortable in a bad relationship? That's interesting. If one is in a relationship with someone you think was a mistake, what needs or expectation did you have that were not met and how do you you get comfortable with those needs or expectation not met?
I keep watching this video over and over...I have learned so much about myself from this video. I have been neglecting myself and always worried and took care of others for years, this has been an eye opener. I now more than ever wanna take care of myself. Thank you Lisa and Matt for this beautiful content, you have just changed my life and I can't thank you enough.
Excellent to see discussion move past memes of “narcissism”, “toxicity” and blame/shame labeling into practical grasp of weapons, wounds and choices for self reflection and containment!!! Advancing the skill set for humankind!!
Red flags don lie... Ever.... I hv respect for strong individuals. It isn't ones who fake being nice & once u stand ur ground the other starts name-calling... Just walk away from toxic people.... We are here to seek wat makes us happy we don exist to please another person
I LOVE Matthew Hussey! So clear, so on point, no dilldally wishywashy, just very good understanding of human psychology and not romanticizing anything about when people decide to get into a partnership together. love it
I actually bought Matthew’s products about 6 years ago and I’m glad to see he’s carried through his mission and grown so much in his wisdom. He wasn’t just any other sales man coach to get a product across and walk away on passive income. Great things come when you follow through the journey of your passions rather than just saying good enough I’m making the dollar. I love it!
He is simply saying: What most of us really be Thinking...hence why all this makes sense. But... Some just get stuck in regret and thinking about What-could-have-been. What we should be doing to get somewhere, is to be the "hardass" with a gentle side, and then drive your own Destiny. - I have recently been through break-up due to my neglect for my family and have recovery time ahead. Think people just affraid to let it go and do new/different things. This is where my mindset is at the moment and it is hard to let go, but seriously with yourself, if you Dont you will break apart and stay unhappy. So pick your destiny and go with your choices and flow that YOU can control. Fix your heart with self-love, then love will come to you again.
Great episode! This should be taught in schools and universities. Imagine the amount of heart break, let down, time and energy that can be saved for countless people of different ages if they really were prepared to deal with that type of toxicity. Matthew is truly gifted 💯.

The part that said, "give them space and freedom, enough to betray you, in order to know that you have what you wanted, when they don't betray despite having the freedom to do so. That's my standard." stole the show for me!
I love that.
that's how I live. I give you that trust... until you betray it. I'm not gonna watch you like a hawk, I'm not your mother and I don't have time for that.
Yup, if you feel you have to control situations to prevent the person from betraying you. You already know they're not trustworthy
@@aurora8749 OR....that "you" may have unresolved trust issues from a former relationship. Either one can be true, or they may both be true at the same time. Unjustified suspicions and controlling behaviour can kill a relationship just as easily as any "real" act of infidelity can. So believing that just because you "feel" insecure about somebody's behaviour means that they're actually guilty of what you're feeling....is not really great advice. This feeling alone will destroy the relationship, whether its justified or not. In the final post-mortem however, it could actually be YOU that brought harmful feelings to the relationship and made its lack of success inevitable. That's why it's important to always link ones "feelings" to the reality of each current relationship, and not to bring baggage with you. The person you're with now should never be made to suffer because of the actions of the person you were with beforehand. Not least of all because the person you're currently with will sense this and become repelled by the emotional injustice of it. They'll probably bail on you and tell you that you were obviously not ready for a "new" relationship....and whatsmore.....they'll be right!!

On second thought, my past patterns make me NOT trust myself. That's is where I'm stuck. Raised in a abusive narc home with bpd narc mother and sociopath father and older sister. As the empath, sensitive one in the family, I was conditioned to overlook bad behavior. I subconsciously picked these toxic partners and friends. They are all gone and the great awakening is happening here, lots of healing. However, when I really reflect on the past patterns it becomes obvious and overwhelming. I'd rather be alone than ever enter another narc relationship. It's the most draining thing. Taking my life back, finding peace. Can't risk losing it. But thinking deeper, I've done sooooo much research on these personality disorders, I can spot them fairly quickly in people now. Maybe I can trust myself at this stage.
@@clementroman8516 😂 😂 😂

Honestly, if they don’t make you feel safe you should just walk away. I know it’s easier said than done.
Yes, it really is easier said than done. It's horrible when you know you are not safe. Especially when you're not safe emotionally as opposed to not safe physically. Being not safe physically seems sooo urgent to me. Being not safe emotionally allows for discussion, a second attempt. Perhaps even a third. Perhaps even a need to consider that your view isn't the only possible viewpoint. It can be a well meaning downward slide that happens because you are trying to be understanding of another person. And compared to the upheaval of deciding who gets which pet, who leaves the established home, what happens with the children, family, friends, holidays, etc. It can seem that being unsafe emotionally is equally as traumatizing as the upheaval required to end the abuse. And then there is the concern that it could all happen again in a future relationship. Definitely not an easy deck of cards to shuffle through. I admire those who manage to make the difficult choices, learn the needed lessons and successfully build a good life going forward. They really are their own heroes.
Yes, yes! Feeling safe is very important, it should be mutual.

Despite my relentless efforts to reconcile, I find myself grappling with frustration and an inability to envision a future without her. Despite attempts to purge her from my mind, I remain haunted by his absence, feeling compelled to express my longing here.
Its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 5 years ended, but i couldn't just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back.

The right relationship has a calming effect on us. That one really hit me. In my past relationships I was always so stressed out. Thank you for this incredible insight!
If it is stressful it is not worth it!
Same here I was always so worried about him and what he is up to if he is cheating or not 😩 it was so stressful
@cyborg1320 this is because toxic "unavailable" men keep their mind CONSTANTLY engaged on what the hell he's doin and up to. If he does what he says he's gonna do, that man apparently becomes BORING.
"HEY I'm gonna run to the gas station real quick ill BRB. U want anything?"
Women already calculate how long it takes to get there (10 min) and how long it takes to get back (10 min again) and calculate how long it'll take u to get snacks how long it'll take u to stand in line (say another 10 mins) so in 30 to 35 mins 40 max you should be back.
If this happens CONSTANTLY, she's got u figured out and u lost mystery. The suggestion is to stay out LONGER than normal. Drive slower etc, so it takes longer for you to get home. This FORCES her to automatically WONDER about you. "damn what's taking him so long.. It's been 45 mins just to goto the gas station.. He ain't out w no chck is he.. I saw that girl at the counter lookin at him last time"
And there some of them can go. Mystery happening. Now THIS constantly happening has her mind on him a LOT. his phone beep, now you're wondering, now it don't beep, now you're wondering if he told someone NOT to txt. Etc playing on their insecurities to keep them engaged with you so you don't become boring. Once they figure u out they leave.
To me personally this is so dumb. Why are u gonna be set on the edge of ur seat like that, or constantly wondering who they talkin to when a txt comes in etc. Who they flirting with, smiling at, getting numbers from. I'm 38, I ain't tryin to go through all that mess.
If me doing what I say I do make me boring, then so be it then. Imma BORING @ss dood then. 😂 Atleast you know I can keep my word on small stuff so of course imma keep my word on bigger stuff.
It's frustrating bc after 13 yrs she say "it's bc were too comfortable"
Like WHO wants to be uncomfortable with a person.. You go thriugh uncomfortable phases to BECOME comfortable with them. Means you can TRUST THEM. Or u suppose to..
If that makes me a weird one, then hell, I'm just WEIRD then. 😂
👍 yep! I realized that.
@@daviedood2503 The only coaches/counsellors who give such advice are the toxic and manipulative ones themselves. Unfortunately, psychology attracts a lot of such people. They learn who to manipulate people better and they get constant supply in form of vulnerable and trusting clients. I would be very careful choosing your psychologist/coach, etc.
I absolutely loved when Matthew said “don’t worry about trusting whether or not you can trust that someone will never hurt you. Trust yourself and that you will know how to handle it and how to walk away if they do.”

“Your job first and foremost is to take care of YOU. That’s your number one job in the world.” - I began to cry when I heard these words. After a lifetime of thinking that the main reason you are lovable is just because you are always taking care of others, giving and serving…it can be so hard to feel like It’s actually okay to put yourself first. It can feel so painful to put your needs ahead of others, because you feel so much fear they will no longer love you. Being giving and nurturing is NOT the only thing that makes you worthwhile or valuable in a relationship - you are a beautiful masterpiece, flaws and all! Love yourself, live the life you deserve!
Unity Nada ...you are so right, it is that hit if validation and kindness that triggers are emotion ms and covers the red flags, we are so used up by giving all the time and missing the most important peice ..to give unto yourself .. and that is so difficult because it is such a mindshift if you always lead with your heart. We are taught to believe that us selfish so we now down and carer whilst denying ourselves full expression. You need to power up, turn on your own light switch of safety and protection from within and can only do this by putting yourself first (like walking through fire) loveinf yourself, protecting yourself, setting and honoring boundaries fir yourself and take down the wall that you've build and except gifts from nit only yourself but from others. Goodness shines its light through the dark spaces, it also empowers you against the silent sadistic personalities that play on your vulnerability and kindness but also key into the masochistic tendencies we've been engaging in on ourselves.

Easier said than done, but if you start to take these steps you will start to live the life you deserve, truly free. 🙏🏼💕
100% truth. We've been taught this whole time that we are to "stand by our man" and make sure everyone comes before ourselves.💖
My take home lesson is that I need to trust myself to be okay if the other person does hurt me. My number one job is to look after me. I've had me through the best and rough days of my life and I owe it to myself to take care of me!
This really resonated with me, thank you. I have forgotten to take care of myself and be there for myself for a long time. It’s time to change things up.
💯💯💯
@Gemma Dann I didn’t mean it like that. I tend to burn myself out putting needs of others before my own. I try to give myself the effort and love that I give my significant other. I am indeed capable of caring for myself financially and materialistically.
Trust you will be ok when you walk away.
I think when you are clear on your values and boundaries, you can communicate them and know when someone crosses the line. We all have those things that are a hard no or betrayal for us. We can then trust ourselves to do the right thing. Like Matthew says, in this case it doesn’t matter about your feelings or how much you love them, you have to judge on their actions.

@@alexisfrjp So what is it? To pretend to be someone you're not when you enter relationship?
This I’ve learned. Never place more energy into anything than what you’re receiving. Life is about checks and balances. When the scale isn’t balanced, we feel taken advantage, unsafe, etc. We strive for balance, but not everyone can deliver…now, I match others, and when I feel I may be giving more, I scale back and see what changes. This has been a savior for me.
I was told reasons why he might not message back, or see it, ect. I tried to accept it but once it became to much i brought up with him and told him it made me feel insecure and overthink. He said it was weird to overthink. From then on, communication got worse and i sent my final message saying i liked him but i couldnt just be in a casual relationship, if thats where it was going. He just got defensive in his last message and thats where it ended.
I guess i did give plenty of time and chances to initate and converse back but he never delivered. I just have to remind myself that i did my best to be understanding and compassionate of his situation but also have to respect my own needs and boundaries
THIS! "...now, I match others, and when I feel I may be giving more, I scale back and see what changes." Learning to scrupulously police things like reciprocity at the START of relationships helps me weed out users early on so I can relax and be naturally generous self with GOOD people. ❤
My experience of red flags is something akin to this: he insults you. He cuts you off when you speak. He rolls his eyes at you when you speak. He treats you like a servant. He's excessively self centered. He's sexually selfish. He's easily angered. He treats you like property but not a person (even early on). He tries to sabotage your efforts to be self sufficient and to meet other people. He doesn't say yes or no but always maybe yet expects you to wait for him in case it's suddenly "yes". If you have other plans he tries to sabotage. He talks about himself constantly. He doesn't listen to you. He brags. He doesn't accept a no from you. He changes plans constantly. He talks very negatively about people. He's not concerned with your safety, wellbeing or happiness. I mean these are even early red flags, 2 days in or so.
100%
My list starts and end with “He insults you”.
That’s it. Game over.
I know where it goes and I’m not sticking around for it.
Also, special mention to guys that are in a rush to be with you. Slam the brakes. They are up to no good and they hope you don’t find out.
Wow!! For sure!!
certainly, although it's kind of common sense for me. I wouldn't even want to be friends with that kind of person. Who would want to be around that kind of person?
That’s pure toxic behavior...
These are all traits of a Narc!
I believe that narcissism has not been talked about enough and people need to be more aware about narcissist and what narcissists do .
Agreed. There is program now for young people called "The shark cage". Teaching how to recognise those sharks and protect yourself and find healthy relationships.
@@moontan3927 that is so good.. im glad to hear that. I wish their was a program like that when I was younger. It would have save me alot.
@@queenrubygoat Indeed. It would have prevented some heartache.
You don't say🙄
Dr Ramani talks a lot about it on her TH-cam channel. She's amazing
When he said "it's not about trusting that they won't cheat it's about trusting that you can get out of it". So powerful❤️🔥 love you Mathew Hussy😘
I loved the part where he emphasized SELF-trust...that even if someone hurts you, you can trust that you will protect yourself and walk away.
I just want to say one little thing that happened recently with me and my new partner. My weapon is going cold on someone, try as I might, my affection disappears, it's like I become repelled from the person and I physically distance myself from them and I wont look at them as much. My partner noticing this reaction, didn't say anything, he continued to make dinner, he poured me a glass of wine, he let me watch TV in silence while he cooked. And then when I came into the kitchen we just stared meaningfully at each other and he knew something was wrong and he gently pushed my hair behind my ear and said quietly "Are you mad at me? Did I do something to upset you?". It completely changed how I felt, I instantly wanted to tell him everything I was feeling. I am so used to men being defensive and passive aggressive, this was the best thing he could have done. I am so proud of him and his intuitive reaction to my weapon.
Still this is basically asking men to be mind readers. Just be forward and honest, because what YOU we're doing is also passive aggressive. Many men aren't as socially adept as women so we need honest straightforward communication. Hoping we can read your blank stare is not a healthy communication habit
@@bloowhalez I'll let you in on a fact: No one said anything about mind reading. Just acknowledging behaviour and Men often know what they do to women they are dating/are married to.
If you think or claim men are too stewpid to know, then you are either a liar or ignorant.
@ Juliet Hunter I used to do this and realized it is so unfair to my partner. The man has to constantly chase your emotions and it eventually wears him down, deteriorating your relationship in the process. It's best to talk out your concerns
@@DiamondsRexpensive yeah but "being cold" aka sitting there quietly fuming and then also when asked saying nothing is wrong, is the wrong way to fix something. Again, instant by my statement, which is true, many men AND women say this, men are NOT mind readers. Stop using passive aggressive behavior. Don't justify that. If you have a problem say something. By saying nothing you are saying there's no problem. Basically stop playing mind games. It's unhealthy.
@@DiamondsRexpensive also you spelled Diamond wrong and Stupid wrong. Makes me wonder how you can call people stupid when you can't even spell English words correctly.
'We have completely different standards of how much we are willing to fight for each other' ........hits a chord right at the spot 🥺🥺🥺🥺
True.....standards of priority determine will to fight.....
@@shrutinair8459 Yes, well-said!
His opening line is grand. That is something I recently realized. Worry less about wondering what they want and what they are going to do but instead concern myself more with how I feel after spending time with them.
I think one of the red flags is going through TH-cam to find out whether your partner is toxic or not after just one month of dating.. The answer is already there XD
Ur Intuition knows right, listen to it closely and stay true with urself, self-love ✌🏼
Sometimes the videos just pop up lol
Well... YT algorithm showed me this video. I'm married😅🤣 and don't suffer from any of that, only reason I clicked is actually because of my cousin. Idk how to help him.... because I'm not the normal person who knows what it is to have your heart broken so It takes me a while to understand this behavior or letting yourself get the best of you because of that.
🎯
That's not always true. A lot of misunderstandings can happen in the beginning stages of dating.
Communication is everything. I just got out of a long relationship with someone who kept things to himself until something triggered him to blow up. He would hold resentment instead of talking things out and trying to find a solution. I'd pour my heart out to him and tell him what I'm feeling and trying to be on the same page, and he would completely shut down and avoid conversation. He was bad alcoholic and was dishonest frequently. Being physically alone is just the same as being with a partner who doesn't reciprocate emotionally. I'm glad to be done with the toxicity.
Same experience in my marriage happily divorced now and moving on…
Good for you! Happy you got away! But let me add that being physically alone with your self-respect and dignity is 100x BETTER than being with someone who disrespects you and makes you feel bad about yourself 💕
Actually a toxic "partner" (using that term loosely..), is WORSE the being alone.
How did you feel comfortable pouring your heart out when you knew to expect a bad response?
I have done that with past partners
@RC-eb5hq Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. It's better to be single and alone than being "alone" while in a toxic relationship.
If every human , men and women, could communicate the way Matt does, this world would be such a better place. Thank you Lisa for this great interaction.
this is why he's here and he's unique in the way he thinks ...
Nah gender roles are outdated. Everyone has both feminine and masculine aspects ☯️ that they need to balance if they want to attract a balance relationship
@@NetiNeti-gm5bz most of the time thats not the problem
Yet, he’s still single 🤔
@@joanofarc1470 he's usually very private about his relationships. We only found out about Camila Cabello cause she's constantly in the spotlight.
But regardless, there is nothing wrong with being single. It means he knows his value and won't settle for less. Like all of us should. He's a hansome & intelligent man. If he wishes to have a girlfriend, he will have no difficulties getting one.
MY NOTES FROM THIS PODCAST:
10:37 people reveal who they are
not through their words but through
situations/in order to really know who or how someone is you have to see them in enough situations.
22:09 if they cant give you what you need then your feelings towards them are irrelevant.
28:25 You don’t trust that someone’s never going to betray you - you just trust that you’ll be able to handle it if they do, that you’ll be able to walk away. Stop worrying about whether you can trust someone else maybe you can’t. We don’t know that, only time will tell.
He's honestly the smartest man regarding relationship advice that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Yes,I agree.
Absolutely! A lightbulb went off for me to day! 💯❤️ Thanks Mathew Hussey! 👍🏻👍🏻
OMG you need help if you think that
Coach Paula grooms
I loved his comment about how people defined themselves through situations and not by their words! I can’t really ever get to know someone unless you’ve had enough situations with them! I feel like so many times we get caught up in the fairytale of the words instead of the realistic aspects of who they are! Thank you so much for this video!!! Loved it!
💯 glad you enjoyed the episode!
Perfectly said! I love your takeaway, thanks for sharing. 😁
Hello please can we be friends
My entire life solved in 48 minutes and 22 seconds. Thank you Matthew. The calm, comforting and nurturing tone of this conversation was just what I needed at this time.
I agree. This was for me.
That's why I am not listening at 1.5x haha!
Oh! The point at around the 22:05 mark spoke just to me.. And just before that, someone telling you that they "miss you" is absolutely ZERO information. It's great to have a laugh at how the interactions can happen when you try to move away!
This is what I needed.. thank you ❤❤
Wow, so logical and level headed. I need to be stronger for me.
I have a degree in psychology and not only did I do case studies. I was in a very vulnerable state in my life when I met a true narcissist, which I refused to see all the signs. I was with him for five years and it was too late to get out before I was completely destroyed internally. Everything Matthew described I experienced and I’m still working on healing/recovering from that relationship almost a year later, which has been the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I can write a book on his behavior and how it impacted me, from confident and happy, to doubting myself in every aspect, feeling humiliated, unhappy, sad, and worthless.
I had to get my own therapist before leaving him and he even controlled my sessions by making me tell him everything was talked about in my session. He got angry when I said he was brought up in my sessions. I still see my therapist and do plenty of meditation.
Please, don’t ignore the signs and run!
I’m on the same boat, exactly happened to me
May God heal n restore u Sandra
Brilliant Lisa , I love how you really listen intensely . Mathew is brilliant like life coach that translates into relationship advice
Same exact experience - he’s still contacting me - I won’t ever go back - truly the definition of insanity was loving him
Same, psychology and sociology! Red flags 🚩 were there, still ignored them.
I love myself and being single now for 2 years ... 56 and am finally at peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good for you! 👍 I’m 44 and single. I’m having the best time of my life.
Me too! I’ve been single most of my adult life..... it’s calm, I can do what I like when I like, no one is critical of me or putting me down...... love it! Freedom! Enjoy!😁😁😁😁
@@michellewall6748 Exactly, no drama!
So happy for you.
Anita, I am 58. Heartbroken after a 6 year relationship with a man that never delivered! My fault for staying that long. Now, I feel too old to start all over and is hard to find friends my age that have the time to go out, go on trips etc... Please give me some insight.
I love hearing the difference between a toxic person and basic incompatibility! Not wanting to make things work in a relationship doesn't make someone a bad person. Thanks Matthew and Lisa!
Just means that you want different things in life. And that's fine as well! I loved it too
Leading people on IS selfish though.
@@aurora8749 I agree! At least you have to honest about your intentions
But, things can change during a relationship - you may never have lead someone on but somewhere along the line your feelings change - that’s natural and signifies a mismatch - not that you never meant it in the first place
@@VP-tg8kd yes, and at that point it is your responsibility to end the relationship
"You are with you every second of every day. It is your job to take care of you. If that person cant deliver, or give you what you need, your feelings about that person do not matter." Yup. I needed to hear that. I forgive too easy for treatment that doesnt hold up to my standards.
Feel the same x
Same
There is nothing wrong with forgiving them. But continuing to make excuses for the person and go back is a different matter. You can forgive them and still walk away.
"...I'm going to trust because that's my standard for the kind of relationship I want to be in."
This man totally reaches me and totally clears all the emotional junk in my head. For some reason I can clearly receive his message and teachings. Definitely will be listening to him more.

🌬️💙💙💙 Ty Matthew
So much good stuff here. I have dated a man who treated me poorly and I walked away. I’ve also noticed that a number of men want to jump the gun because of a projection they have of me online. They see a cool chick who loves God and plays the guitar. They don’t really know me but they are already thinking I’m this perfect person. One guy started comparing me to A young Michelle Branch.. I’m 41 years old! It’s a turn off to me when people project their image of me and “fall in love” with that image instead of getting to know me.
Very relatable!! 💯❤️
Oh my god, you've put one of my pet peeves into words! That's so true and irritating
Yep. I get it all the time. They think I'm perfect from what they see of me online but they don't know me and they already have such an idealized fantasy of me that I can't meet them because they've made me this goddess in their mind. No. I'm a real person and I can't live up to the woman they've made up in their heads.
Omg yesss how true I relate
You met him online, yes? he was memorizing your pictures and profile and projection happens. This is why it's important to meet as soon as possible - always. And no long distance relationships without an immediate meet up.
One more! “People reveal who they are not through their words but through situations.” This is so much better than ‘actions speak louder than words’. Situations are totally spot on! 🤯
It's the same thing. You're actions in situations are speaking its not the situation speaking
@@cateyes0068what is your desired result with a comment like that? So we view it differently, it doesn’t mean either view is wrong as long as we are learning and moving forward. Next time maybe consider another point of view with acceptance knowing we all view the world through a different lens and it’s okay.
As a narc abuse survivor, It took me so long to overcome that trauma I went through.
Currently, the one I’m with is giving off such narc traits and my brain keeps signaling me.
I can’t even not pay attention to it😢.
I have decided to have my own space and move on.
When he said, “It’s like home”, that hit in a different way.
I feel you on that.
🥺
Right! That hurt my heart a bit to know I see me in that statement.
❤️
I cried
15:14 - Great Advice ! This applies to courtship as well ! Your feelings don’t matter!! ... if they’re not reciprocating basic interest in you (questions, initiating conversation,..) take a step back to recognize this and catch yourself : remain polite but stop the flirting and interest! Leaving it at “hello” is more than enough. In other words, start acting with your head and stop acting on emotion.
Oh man, learning some uncomfortable lessons atm. I was dating someone who was speaking to me in a very kind and caring way in person and on text. And they came on pretty strong at first but after only some weeks I noticed I'm the one putting more energy into the connection. But because i have experience of being anxious in bad relationships from the past, i tried to put those feelings aside thinking this is my anxious attachment speaking. I finally actually used Matthew's advice and communicated my standards in a kind and respectful way and he indicated that he understood and he put a tad more energy into it. And i let things continue again even though it still felt off. And finally he just broke it off with me. I was so blinded by his kind words and reassurance that i stuck around letting my standards slide. And also the scarcity mindest made me think i need to hold onto this connection. Going forward i need to be able to bravely move away when a pattern emerges. And judge people by their actions, this is so important. I brushed away the warnings of my sensitive alarm system dismissing it as anxious attachment.
Perhaps someone has already said this, but Matthew Hussey’s: ‘Our weapons destroy relationships, but our wounds have the power to strengthen them’🤯🤩This was like a simultaneous head smack & hug-As Lisa Bilyeu would say “it’s Fiyah!” And yes it is🔥
You nailed it!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank YOU for this definition of 'toxicity' - "when being vulnerable with a person hurts you more. . . Instead of soothes you. . ." (9:20). Reassuring that I made a good decision to end a recent relationship, but need to follow my intuition. (Very disturbing experience.)
I think leaving a relationship is never the wrong choice. Because not being in a particular relationship can never hurt you. Whereas being in a relationship that is not healthy definitely will. So yeah, me might sometimes leave relationships that we didn't need to leave but that is not a "wrong" decision, if anything it might be unfortunate.
I wish you all the best on your way :)
@@LaNoireDetruit Thank you. It was unfortunate that I chose to not follow my gut feeling/intuition and not get involved. The cons far outweighed the pros in a short time. It felt like I was chosen as an escape during a hard time and expected to fit neatly into some unspoken plan. Manipulative. My feelings were constantly discounted. Lessons!
This really hit me also. It’s like I was always made to feel worse. Sometimes I felt heard but then it’s like the disrespect returned in some way, shape , or form.
“Worry only about yourself”. Pure wisdom Matthew, thank you.
You can tell a toxic person by how your energy is effected in the individual’s presence. Pay close attention to how you change around the person. For women, they start changing badly right away. The minute she starts going with the guy she starts gliding downhill immediately. For example, her performance on the job or career starts dropping sharply. Coming in late, over staying breaks, getting called in by management and things like that.
And then she develops a snobbish don’t care about nothing attitude. Others will surely notice how she’s changing and may accuse the guy of bringing her down, but he’s not doing anything. Just hanging around him is whats doing it. His toxic energy setting off hers. If she steps away from the guy for a day she’ll go back to her original self and every time she’s with him again she’ll glide down again.
Yep spot on.....have completely experienced this! My marriage became toxic.....
Now I'm separated the 'grey' is lifting off all the things that use to make my heart sing e.g. like art, gardenning and learning guitar! All my interests became dull, now I'm bringing them back to life🥀🌷🌱 not sure what the future holds but I'm enjoying me.
Same for when the shoe’s on the other foot?
@@katrinax_x3689 You mean a man with a toxic woman? If that’s what you mean, of course. A man will start gliding down in her toxic company.
Though the decaying process appears more rapid with women around a toxic man.
@@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy Yeah that’s what I was referring to. 😀
@Gemma Dann Yeah. But narcissism itself has toxic energy attached to it.
This is the most sensible discussion of autonomy and relationship I have seen in 20 years. Thanks for descriptions beyond labeling other people where the dynamics are a total mismatch without pathologizing the other party. That popular mistaken habit is destroying not just relationships but entire families.
Really glad you enjoyed the episode. Thanks so much for your comment ❤️

Oh my gosh. When he said, if I loved me the way they say they loved me, what would I be willing to sacrifice or compromise in order to be with me. That was a POWERFUL statement. This is the first red flag that your partner is *not* genuine!!!!
“Don’t be unevenly yolked” is general advice I got from the bible about having equal relationships where each person pulls their weight.
You don’t have to make them a bad person in order to say that they aren’t going to walk alongside you through life.
equal in what? Age? then why so many same age reationship fails?.....Equal in amount of money? Women prefer wealthier men, Equal in Heigh? again women prefer tall men....Equal in what?
@@moisesbeyond You make it seem like men pull more weight, but actually it is women who do more. More caring/more housework/more secretary type work at work. Caring, remembering holidays, getting gifts and cards. The list is endless.
@@nofybn7794 If that is true then why women dont allow men to stay at home while she works? why is always that rather she stay home and request to the man go get a Job?? holidays, getting gifts and cards IS NOT a JOB ...is a FUN activity that is NOT FORCE but a CHOICE.....
@@moisesbeyond when you generalize you tell general lies.
@@azuresky4984 women are experts in generalizing are you suggesting women are wrong or are liars?
I so overthink too! I am very much a person that thinks about…. What I did and didn’t do! It is a flaw of mine. Trying to let it go.
I walked away when I still cared and liked him. I thought this would make me feel bad but it made me learn about myself and how to deal with my bad tendencies and it solidified that I really made the right decision. It was a bad situation with the lots of the tendencies that we both had that they mentioned which meant that we would’ve never worked out because both of us weren’t healed and we didn’t want to work on our problems for ourselves and each other. We also didn’t really match in what we wanted from each other and could or was willing to give each other. So both of toxic tendencies and incompatibility combined just lead to the inevitable breakup. Im still glad I did try it with him cause I learned about myself and relationships.
Now I can work on them and heal to become a better person for myself and the next person I’m gonna be with.
And now I know what to do next time- what to watch out for, how to proceed in a relationship properly through stages, what I want/don’t want and what I can tolerate or not.
Thank you for the lessons and the insight. I can only hope to internalize it and put it into action.
OMG I went through a similar situation a few years back! We both weren't healed enough to have a proper relationship. In the end I broke up because I felt his display and feelings of love towards me was stronger than what I felt towards him. We were constantly fighting because he felt that.
Anyways, he was never abusive or anything, I think we just weren't meant to be.
Very similar to my situation, I have really realised that taking accountability is the key to growth. It can be a very painful process but the person you come out as at the end is worth it.
And actually this is quite close to what happened with my second relationship as well.
Ultimately it all boils down to control and realizing that in many situations we have to let go of the imaginary control we thought we had or wish we had. Learning to let go and develop a mindset of gratefulness for what you do have is a game changer.
The only real control we have is over ourselves, and it should be neither imaginary nor let go. :)
I NEVER worry about being cheated on. If it happens, I leave immediately. Do not give others power over you and your happiness. Anyone willing to take you for granted does not deserve your presence, much less free rent in your head.
What a show “Your job is to look after yourself “ he is so brilliant . Thank you for sharing
I loved that part too
Thank you. 16 months after my husband walked out and refused contact for months, no explanation and with me believing we were soul mates, I watched this. And it rang so true I cried. But I know it's time to let go, it's old wounds hurting, not me actually wanting him. You are both brilliant- thank you
May I ask, was it a religious marriage? Are you practicing your religion of birth (in particular your husband ) or not?
I’ m finding man who have a strong believe in God the Creator and adhere to a traditional religious system are not inclined to cheat, break up a sacred marriage before God etc.
It’s easier for modern secular men though
Look out for God he will heal you, in a way human dating advice can’t
Sorry for your hurt and wounds. I hope you're able to find healing and love yourself. I know, It's not about wanting them back but hurting g over the wounds that they have caused.

Yeah.. it’s work. It’s effort.. being conscious is a full time job and you can’t have a healthy adult relationship without it. Not really.
I agree. In my past relationship the real challenges for me (and her) kicked in when I was looking for more than a 7/10 on the intimacy scale (emotional).. Seeking clear communication and resolution was a clear point of activation and was perceived as a threat. It’s classic anxious-avoidant territory.
This chat is so brutal....but it is the most hardest truth, I needed to hear
It's like someone is slapping me so hard ,over and over to snap out of it ..
"I only know what I have if I give you complete freedom" (30.16) so on point!

Omg. So powerful at 27:44. You wouldn’t know if someone will cheat on you but you can trust yourself that you can and will move on. Wow thanks Matt where are you? Powerful message there!
Absolutely spot on. The complexities of human relationships, especially when we're just getting to know someone. I am currently starting out on something new with someone and am navigating the waters with a new awareness of self ie, my past emotional baggage, traumas, triggers, reactions etc and finding the courage to remain authentic and vulnerable within all of that. It's scary as all holy hell BUT we never know if it's worth the risk if we don't try. We can spend our lives protecting our heart but we also end up living half a life.

I like to think along a more positive line of reasoning by practicing giving a partner space-time to breathe(not smothering them), to grow beyond the shade of my own desire for growth (you've never seen two Oak trees growing inches away from each other)-- their individual branches would block out needed Sunlight.
great tips, i couldn't believe my eyes or ears? i don't know but the end is fascinating ! bear in mind that when you sleep with yourselves then the red flag can't be used, it's absolutely different then, especially the deciding process whether yes or not . but i would recommend you if you rely on your experience in bed then don't do that and if you really rely on it then don't do it and if you really really rely on it then i can recommend you the best expereince ever with drops that i found spanish fly

Hello Adriana, how are you doing?😊
Hello please can we be friends
I feel like crying listening to this, I wish I heard this before. Why people don't appreciate open and honest communication right from the start of getting acquainted?
Being self-aware is everything to have trust- trusting yourself more than being afraid if you can trust others, stating how you feel and then what you need and then see if someone can meet you there. If there's a gap, or if you're made to feel bad for being vulnerable, then here is where you take care of yourself...which is your ONE JOB...and be ok to choose yourself and walk away from a relationship where you cannot meet them where they are or they cannot meet you where you are. This was just what I needed to hear right now, continuing in my own growth and self-awareness. Thank you!
I am so happy you said this and 10000% agree. "Labeling" and using the words "toxic" or "narcissist" is way over used. I'm an lvn and worked in therapy for years. It makes me cringe!!! Because it's actually disrespectful to the person you are saying it towards, rather than just saying, your relationship didn't work. Yes, there's "toxic" and "narcissistic" relationships..... but not as much as people label. I LOVE THIS VIDEO ♡♡
I learned a new word ‘phatic’ used with responding to texts with the one you’re no longer with. WOW! That encapsulated the relationship: small talk in texts with no new information re: commitment. As Matthew says. ‘It’s all about respecting yourself; your time, & your energy.’ My grandmother used to say, ‘Put a price on yourself.’ Don’t give yourself away for free. You deserve to be in reciprocal, loving relationships in your life. ❤
It's so exhausting to worry about what if. I trust a person until they prove me otherwise then I will choose me and heal myself. I learned from my past relationships of cheating, lies, and disappointments. I know it is time to let go and focus on myself. The more you love them the more they hurt you because you gave so much of yourself to make them happy. Time do heal all wounds and you learn to identify the red flags.
When he said on the first date and the other person is saying oh I think your so great and so on when they don't know you bc I just went through the same situation where the other person was sitting there telling me how beautiful I was how wonderful and great he thought I was and he didn't even barely know me and it ended up being a very bad relationship he ended up hurting me so that is definitely a red sign when on the first date they tell you how great you are and they don't even know you.
I love how Matthew is letting us in on his own personal mistakes in relationships a totally different more relatable and comfortable space for the viewers less valnurable.
I really like him. Admit your faults, awareness, and acknowledgment of what is next for you with or without your partner. I like it.
Mattew is a very intuitive and perceptive person and I have learned so much with him but I have given up completely on relationships. They have been a source of pain many a time, too many times and now I am contented with myself, books, and nature and some friends. Maybe in my next life I will be wiser! Good luck to the people how still has hope! (I am 68 years old now by the way).
I have been with a man diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (but untreated - also not telling me before, after 2 years of chaos, I suspect what's happening and finally it comes out). And let me tell you: FEELINGS OF A DYSREGULATED PERSON DO NOT MAKE FACTS!!! It's utterly unimaginable to be at the receiving end of someone so traumatised that you breathing sets them off. I have endless compassion for him and anyone with this condition. It is extrrmly hard to have it. And it is also nearly impossible to be the loved-one. They hold you hostage.
This is so true. It's also an angle I never had thought of for this issue. We are taught, especially as women, to always cater and jump for the man we "love". That's drummed into us from baby hood on. It's hard to unlearn these toxic roles.
People stay in bad relationships because admitting they made a mistake in all that they gave that relationship is harder than using all that they gave as an excuse to stay. People don't want to change, even if it's for the better.
Yes. Also, it’s hard to let go of a relationship you’ve invested money, resources and emotions in. People don’t want their investment, especially financially for men, to be for nothing.
Aye Dee .. Not only for men. I know plenty of women who are spending on guys nowadays instead.
Not in my case. Its more that I am comfortable and it is scary to be alone
@@aurora8749 Comfortable in a bad relationship? That's interesting. If one is in a relationship with someone you think was a mistake, what needs or expectation did you have that were not met and how do you you get comfortable with those needs or expectation not met?
My favorite part was “What if I am the toxic one”. Self reflection is always needed! Thank you!
"You scare people off with your weapons," was insightful. Thanks.
Hello Maggie, how are you doing?
“Home just came back!” I cried after months of suppressing my emotions 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I keep watching this video over and over...I have learned so much about myself from this video. I have been neglecting myself and always worried and took care of others for years, this has been an eye opener. I now more than ever wanna take care of myself. Thank you Lisa and Matt for this beautiful content, you have just changed my life and I can't thank you enough.
Excellent to see discussion move past memes of “narcissism”, “toxicity” and blame/shame labeling into practical grasp of weapons, wounds and choices for self reflection and containment!!! Advancing the skill set for humankind!!
Red flags don lie... Ever.... I hv respect for strong individuals. It isn't ones who fake being nice & once u stand ur ground the other starts name-calling... Just walk away from toxic people.... We are here to seek wat makes us happy we don exist to please another person
I LOVE Matthew Hussey! So clear, so on point, no dilldally wishywashy, just very good understanding of human psychology and not romanticizing anything about when people decide to get into a partnership together. love it
I love that he talks about having strength to walk away but also talks about how we all have our own weapons we use and to be aware of them.
I actually bought Matthew’s products about 6 years ago and I’m glad to see he’s carried through his mission and grown so much in his wisdom. He wasn’t just any other sales man coach to get a product across and walk away on passive income. Great things come when you follow through the journey of your passions rather than just saying good enough I’m making the dollar. I love it!
He is simply saying: What most of us really be Thinking...hence why all this makes sense. But... Some just get stuck in regret and thinking about What-could-have-been. What we should be doing to get somewhere, is to be the "hardass" with a gentle side, and then drive your own Destiny. - I have recently been through break-up due to my neglect for my family and have recovery time ahead. Think people just affraid to let it go and do new/different things. This is where my mindset is at the moment and it is hard to let go, but seriously with yourself, if you Dont you will break apart and stay unhappy. So pick your destiny and go with your choices and flow that YOU can control. Fix your heart with self-love, then love will come to you again.
Great episode! This should be taught in schools and universities. Imagine the amount of heart break, let down, time and energy that can be saved for countless people of different ages if they really were prepared to deal with that type of toxicity.
Matthew is truly gifted 💯.
