What happens when your heart says stay… but your future says go?
In this raw and relatable episode of The Therapy Floor, we explore a dilemma so many people face - choosing between love and the life they dream of.
At 35, after a 5-year relationship, today’s listener ended things because their partner didn’t want children. Now, they are filled with doubt. Was it a mistake to walk away from someone they still love? What if there’s no one else? What if they ends up childless and alone?
We unpack:
• The heartbreak of loving someone who’s not aligned with your future
• How to tell if your decision came from fear or clarity
• The psychological weight of societal timelines on women
• How grief, hope, and fear can coexist after a breakup
• And what it means to trust your decision - even when you miss them.
Whether you’ve had to let go of someone you love or you’re stuck between what feels good now and what you want long-term… this one’s for you.
