When to give up on love We hope that love can get us through anything, but that isn’t always the case. Many of us want to hold onto our relationship, but we are drowning in the process. In this episode the Life Works Group team shares insight on when its time to let go of love and let that other person go.   In this episode Dwight, Megyn, Christine and Nate talk about when to give up on love. In a lot of relationships that are struggling there is usually one person who is working really hard and another who is just enjoying the ride. Sometimes these relationships can get better, other times they just need to end. Deciding on which relationship you are in can be difficult. In some cases we are holding onto a relationship because of what a break up would look like to others. Individuals think that if a relationship can keep it together than so can they. There are also dynamics in your relationship that you may not know are red flags; behaviors that you have come to accept as normal, which are actually indicators that the relationship should end. So come and see if its time for you to give up on love, and make the difficult but important decision of letting that person go and moving on with your life.
