Today we are going to be talking about relationships. I am not an expert at this. Sometimes you can be happy in a relationship and sometimes you can be happier alone. And we can go through the details of all this. Just to let you know, many of my family members, including my parents and brothers and sister, have had really happy marriages. I was not successful and I've done a lot of dating and not successful, too. However, I'm going to share my lessons for whatever they are worth. Somebody treats you badly, you move on. Let him treat you as well as you treat him. And if that doesn't work out, then you need to move on. And it can be heartbreaking, but move on. And then also when you come home and he's there and you're happy to see him and he's happy to see you, that's great. But if it's not that way, then there's no point. Then you get a dog who's always happy to see you. Even if you turn up late because you worked late. Your dog loves to see you. So you need to figure this out so that you don't have so much hurt in you and anger and disappointment. You have to move on. Even if it means you're going to be alone.
