126. Is Your Spouse Stringing You Along? (Not Divorcing, but not "Happily Married")

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dive into the difficult topic of feeling strung along in a marriage. Whether your spouse is coming and going as they please or avoiding making a decision about your future together, it can leave you feeling powerless. The hosts discuss how midlife changes like perimenopause and stress only make these dynamics more challenging, but the real focus is on how to take back your power by setting boundaries.

    Morgan shares a real-life story about a client stuck in this frustrating limbo, and they explore how setting boundaries—though scary—can be the key to getting clarity in your relationship. With humor and compassion, they tackle why it’s so important to reclaim control, even if it means being labeled the "bad guy."

    In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • How to recognize if you're being strung along in your marriage.
    • Why setting boundaries might be the healthiest move (even if it feels terrifying).
    • How midlife changes like perimenopause can impact your emotional and mental well-being.
    • What to do when your spouse seems to have one foot in and one foot out of the relationship.
    • Why sometimes being the bad guy is the best thing you can do for yourself.
    • How hair extensions may not save your marriage, but they sure can comfort you through tough times.
