One Hot Mess

Welcome to another episode of One Hot Mess with Brittany! In today's episode, we delve into the critical decision of whether to stay or leave a relationship or marriage. We explore the motivations behind these choices and how understanding them can help you take control of your future.

We discuss how moving towards a goal, such as raising children together or working on personal issues, can strengthen a marriage, while staying out of fear may indicate a lack of healthy connection. We also examine the differences between fear-based and action-based decision-making and their impacts on happiness and self-esteem.

Furthermore, we introduce an eight-step rescue plan for couples facing marital problems, focusing on constructive communication, eliminating negative behaviors, and increasing positive interactions. We emphasize the importance of balancing personal needs with the needs of the family and making decisions that align with your truth.

Lastly, we provide tips on avoiding behaviors that sabotage relationships, especially when one partner wants out. These include avoiding blame, criticism, controlling behaviors, and emotional shutdowns.
