If you’ve ever found yourself in a situationship… feeling like you’re the one doing all the work, overgiving, overthinking and trying to hold everything together… this episode will help you understand why.
This is a deeper follow-on from my previous episode on why situationships hurt so much, where we move beyond the surface level of the situation and explore what’s actually driving these patterns ... and what you can do if you’re in one right now.
In this episode, we explore:
Why you can feel like you have to earn your place in a relationship
The abandonment cycle and how it shows up
Anxious attachment and overgiving patterns
Why you might feel like you’re not being prioritised
How to have a grounded, honest conversation
How to start shifting this dynamic and creating more clarity
If this resonated, you’re not alone — and this is something that can change with awareness and support.

What would I actually want this relationship to look like?
What would it look like to start choosing myself more here?
