Episode Synopsis

Josh and Jo explore the reasons why people don’t say “when” when they know in their gut that a relationship is over.  Should I stay or should I go?  This is such a tough conversation that Jo gave herself a concussion by pounding her head against the microphone in frustration.  When you find yourself thinking about throwing in the towel because of a transgression, the loss of romantic feelings or passion has died, why is it easier to stay?  Josh introduces the concept that if people stop being surprised by challenges in relationships (e.g., “Why are you surprised that someone else wants to bone your partner?”), a more open conversation can result in less heartache and insidious confusion. Is it as simple as asking yourself: Is this a non-negotiable item? Or is flying solo so bad?
