Hey there,

The latest episode of Solved just dropped: Why We Stay in Bad Relationships, Solved​

Here's something most people get wrong about toxic relationships: they assume the people who stay are naive, or weak, or just don't see what's happening.

But it's usually the opposite. It's the smart, emotionally-aware people who get stuck the longest. And there are very specific psychological reasons why.

Drew and I broke down seven mechanisms that quietly lock people inside bad relationships—using one of the most public train wrecks in modern Hollywood as our case study. We get into why the good moments in a toxic relationship are actually more dangerous than the bad ones, why empathetic people are the most vulnerable to abusive partners, and why resilience can quietly become the thing that keeps you stuck.

If you've ever watched someone you love stay in a relationship that's destroying them—or if you've been that person yourself—this one will finally help you understand why. And what to actually do about it. It's equal parts uncomfortable and freeing.

Hope you enjoy the episode.

And if you do, pass it on to someone who could use it too.
