Love Life With Matthew Hussey

Back in ye olden times, the fear that a partner might be cheating was enough to keep someone up at night. But in recent years, we’ve added a new layer of anxiety to the mix: “micro-cheating,” a.k.a. “back burner relationships.”   In fact, when Psychology Today recently polled people who are in a relationship, 56% revealed they had a back burner person: someone they’re in contact with who could be an option if their current relationship doesn’t go the distance.   That’s not to say that everyone realizes what they’re doing. Many feel it’s harmless—that they’re just being friendly and keeping in touch with a friend. Today’s episode will give you a simple test to figure out if you’re in a back burner relationship, and provide you with the mindset you need to give your current one its best shot. --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey --- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023 → MHVirtualRetreat.com

When we like someone, it’s tempting to move fast, let our emotions take over, and simply do what feels good. But in this frenzy of excitement, we can inadvertently end up on a path we don’t want to be on… In this new episode, I answer a question from someone who didn’t want to repeat the last 2 years of her life, which she spent in a ‘friends with benefits’ situation.  --- ►► Unlock My Best Solution For Your Current Dating Situation → http://www.YourDatingSolution.com

Did you know that men and women respond differently to breakups? My brother Stephen and I talked about recent research that showed differences in how men and women process emotional pain, how long they take to recover from heartbreak, and how likely they are to want to get back together. Of course, we are all individuals, and our response will also be determined by our own personality and experiences, but it's always interesting to see these general patterns of male and female behaviour and whether they conform with our stereotypes. What do you think? Have you noticed any of these differences in your own relationships? --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey --- ►► Heal Your Heart & Move on Strong From Your Breakup.

We’ve all experienced this relentless form of self-torture . . .   Whether your breakup was two days or two decades ago, you find yourself looking back and wondering how things could’ve turned out had you acted differently. Had you known then what you know today.   Pretty soon, you’re living in the timeline where you didn’t “ruin everything” with that person . . . ultimately punishing yourself over a parallel universe you’ve created in your mind. In this clip, my brother Stephen and I answer the question, “Is it possible to ‘blow it’ with the right person?” and share how you can turn self-loathing into a better relationship with yourself (and your future partner). --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey   --- If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

We asked you what your biggest fears for the future were, and you answered! No matter how confident we feel, we all have worries about what lies ahead. The future is unknown. And many of us can’t help but occasionally let our biggest anxieties and worries about where our life is going get the better of us. It could be about your career, your relationships, or anything that keeps you up at night. In this new episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey, and Jameson talk about what it takes to either overcome these fears, or at least how to not let them paralyze or overwhelm you. --- If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

Listening to our gut when something’s off can save us a lot of time and stress when we’re dating . . . but what if we can’t tell the difference between when our gut is warning us and when our anxiety is trying to sabotage us? What if the red flags we think we’re seeing are actually our fears in disguise?   If you have a tendency toward anxiety, this second-guessing can make the early days of dating extra stressful, because you may have a hard time separating an important concern from your ever-vigilant anxiety.   If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me or is it them?” you can’t miss today’s episode, in which I share five ways to tell if it’s a major concern or your anxiety talking. --- ►► Stop Doubting Yourself & Start Believing In Your Own Worth Learn More About The Virtual Retreat → http://www.MHVirtualRetreat.com

I don’t like it when I hear people say, “You need to be happy first before you find a relationship.” It’s not that the sentiment is a bad one, but saying to someone who is facing challenges in life that they need to be happy before they can be with someone seems highly unproductive to me. As if it’s not hard enough being alone when we want to find a partner . . . we now also have to achieve this elusive feeling of happiness before we do?! I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be happy before you find a relationship . . . You just need to be “happy enough.” --- If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

Your phone buzzes. It’s a text from them ;) You can feel your stomach flip over with excitement. Every message they send is like sweet honey for your brain. “Damn”, you think, “I’m an addict.” And then you fire a cute message back. And you wait...and wait… “Why aren't they replying?” you want to scream to your friend on the couch next to you. But she’s too busy with her phone to notice. You try to shift focus, but you obsessively check for a text every 30 seconds. Sound familiar? We’ve all had this agony of “anxious waiting” with someone we like. It’s distracting, it’s unattractive, and it drains you of your peace of mind every minute you sit in limbo.

Today, Matt answers a question from a listener who feels she is independent, successful, and ambitious, but is only meeting guys who fit a more "beta" male stereotype (who take the backseat in a relationship), rather than the driven "alpha" guys she would like to meet.  Matt talks about some practical strategies to meet the right kind of person for you, and how to think about the qualities that you value and seek out in a relationship.   ---  Do You Have a Question About Your Love Life?

When everybody seems to have found “their person,” it can make us feel so behind and deeply afraid. This is the very moment we fall prey to saying “yes” to the wrong person, just to put an end to the feeling that we won’t find anyone and will miss our chance at having an amazing relationship.   But choosing temporary comfort is a short game, and as we shrink our view of the world, we lose sight of just how much abundance is waiting for us. In reality, those who are successful in love play the long game—one where they trust they deserve more than a relationship that is inherently not meeting their needs, or simply not right for them.   In today’s new episode, I not only show you how to identify someone who’s wrong for you, but I also share how to take that leap to start fresh and set your love life on the right path.

We all long for financial independence, relationship bliss, greater familial connection, and a generally peaceful life with fewer hardships. But as it happens, life doesn’t care about the straight-line trajectory we've planned for ourselves. It will capriciously take a person from us at a time we weren’t prepared for. It will injure us when we need to be active. It will rob us of our finances in a bad business deal we thought was a sure thing. It will take away a relationship we thought would last forever. And when these things inevitably happen, it can feel like we’re grieving the loss of some future that’s now no longer available to us . . . But life is cyclical and doesn’t trend in just one direction. This is why it is imperative for us to take our focus off of where we feel we “ought to be” and make peace with life as it is today. Because the truth is, there’s always time to reinvent ourselves, meet somebody new, or fix something broken in our lives. And it is our job to cherish and learn from th

Have you ever felt like a magnet for avoidants or wondered if commitment-phobic people are all that’s left in the dating pool?   It’s as if you can’t even get anything off the ground, because consistent communication is never in the cards with the people you’re dating. And when you’re dating someone where everything’s falling into place EXCEPT for the fact that they’re avoidant, it can be tempting to rationalize any reason to stay.   But why do we do this, and why does this situation make us want to hold on so tightly to a person who’s not giving us what we need? Today’s new episode will help you reconnect with your value so you can approach these kinds of situations with a clear head and a sense of worthiness. After all, the faster you say “no” to the wrong person, the sooner you can say “yes” to the right one. --- ►► Get The Exact Text Messages That Lead Somewhere Real.
