#43 - The Biggest Lie about Relationships

From a very young age we are told countless lies about the purpose of committed relationships, how those relationships are developed, and what it takes to maintain them overtime. It's only as we get older and start trying to develop our own relationships that we actually realize relationships are not what we read about in fairytales, or see in movies or on social media.Unfortunately, many of us never had anyone to teach us about how committed relationships work and so we were forced to learn through sheer observation. However, many of us we never taught to observe properly so we end up misinterpreting many other things that we see and hear.What's the biggest misconception about committed relationships today? What is it that so many of us get wrong when it comes to choosing a partner, developing a relationship, and setting expectations of that relationship?In today's episode of real English radio, we’re gonna listen to a clip from a conversation between Brené Brown and Tim Ferris about what Brené believes to be the biggest lie we’re told about relationships and the change in thinking we all need to make if we want to sustain a healthy partnership with someone.Support this podcast with a monthly subscription and get access to bonus podcast episodes, advanced PDF vocabulary guides, and our private conversation group on Discord! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioFind me on social media!TikTok: @tonykaizenInstagram: @tonykaizenTwitter: @tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.
