Summary

Are you struggling with heartbreak after falling for someone who says they can’t be with you? In this episode, Matthew unpacks what it really means when someone claims they “can’t” be in a relationship. Through the of a woman who gave everything to a man who wouldn’t commit, Matthew breaks down key insights that will help you regain clarity, self-worth, and the courage to move forward.

Topics covered:

The Difference Between "Right" and "Ready" – Why the perfect person for you isn't just about compatibility but about commitment.
Unwilling Compromises vs. Real Obstacles – Understanding when someone is genuinely unable to be with you versus when they’re just unwilling to make sacrifices.
Why Love is a Verb, Not Just Words – Actions define relationships, not promises or poetry.
The Power of Perspective – If you were in their shoes, what would you be willing to do to make it work?
How to Move Forward – Letting go of someone who won’t show up for you and reclaiming your time and emotional energy.

0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome back to the Love Life podcast. Today is going to be very relevant to you
0:09.1	if you have fallen for someone who is now telling you that they cannot have a relationship
0:14.8	for any reason whatsoever. If that's you, you're probably in a very heartbroken state right now. You're probably really
0:22.4	struggling with the confusion of the situation and knowing what to do next or today is going to help.
0:28.6	Before I go any further with this podcast, by the way, I just did an entire live hour on how to heal from heartbreak, get closure, and move on once and for all.
0:41.8	If you weren't there, thousands of people from across the world attended this live session.
0:46.7	It really was a remarkable session in helping people to move on from the worst heartbreaks of their
0:53.4	life. So if that describes you, whether the
0:56.6	heartbreak was yesterday or years ago, but you're still going through it, I want you to check
1:02.0	this out before the replay disappears. We are airing it until Friday night. So on the 28th at midnight,

2:00.6	pieces of writing that I reserved exclusively
2:04.4	for people who are on my mailing list in a Friday letter called The Three Relationships.
2:09.9	And I spent a lot of time crafting these pieces that helped a lot of people who are on my
2:16.3	newsletter. If you're not part of my newsletter, go to
2:18.9	the three relationships.com and jump on that now. But for everyone who wasn't on the newsletter at the time,
2:26.3	they really did miss something special. And I want to bring forward a few of these pieces and
2:32.9	essentially turn them into the spoken words
2:35.8	so that they can help people who watch the YouTube videos or who listen to the Love Life podcast.
