123: Abundance vs. Scarcity of Love
Updated: Mar 13
Sometimes, people get into situations that seem to involve a choice between one romantic partner and another. If you’re in a committed relationship but you’re also involved with someone else, the question often becomes, do you want to stay with your partner, do you want to pursue your relationship with your affair partner, or do you want to end up alone forever? This is where the idea of abundance versus scarcity comes in.
If you’re scared of making a decision about leaving your marriage, ending your affair, or dealing with any circumstances related to your infidelity because you’re afraid it will all end horribly, this episode is for you. People often get hung up in comparing the stability and comfort of their long-term relationship versus the excitement and passion of their affair, but have you considered that you could have all of it with just one person?
