Summary

He says “you deserve better,” but you're still hoping he’ll change? In today’s episode, we’re calling out the real reason you can’t let go — even when the relationship isn’t progressing. From long-distance love that’s all memes and no meaning, to two years of exclusivity with zero commitment, we’re diving into the dating dynamics that keep you stuck, confused, and emotionally drained. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “kind of” dating someone who gives you just enough to stay — this episode is your wake-up call.

Sabrina and Tech Guy break down listener-submitted stories and drop straight-talk advice on self-abandonment, repetition compulsion, avoidant partners, and why “not wanting a relationship” actually means something. You’ll learn how to stop romanticizing crumbs, stop blaming yourself, and start walking away with your dignity intact. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s exactly what anxious daters need to hear.
