How to Let Go of the One That Got Away | Rewind

Love Life With Matthew Hussey

Show Notes

Have you ever met someone who felt like the right person, only for circumstances to make a relationship impossible?

Maybe the connection was incredible. You both had feelings for each other. But because of distance, timing, or something happening in their life, they told you they couldn't be with you.

And now you're left wondering how to move on from someone who, under different circumstances, might have been the love of your life.

In this episode, I respond to a listener who's struggling to let go of someone he adores, even though she's told him she can't be in a relationship right now.

We explore why the idea of "the right person at the wrong time" can make heartbreak so difficult to overcome, the difference between someone who can't be with you and someone who chooses not to, and how holding on to what could have been can keep you from living the life that's still ahead of you.

Because as painful as it is to lose a connection that felt so promising, there's an important question worth asking: If a happy relationship wasn't possible, what exactly are you holding on to? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
