00:00Okay, so you've made the decision to leave and now he wants to work on it. So he suddenly has
00:05found this like burst of motivation and it is enough to power a small city at this point.
00:13He didn't do it when you were crying in the bathroom. He didn't do it when you were begging
00:17for partnership. He didn't do it when you were slowly fading into somebody that you didn't
00:22recognize. No, he waited until your absence threatened his comfort, until losing you becomes
00:29really inconvenient to him, and until your unhappiness finally costs him something. And
00:35that right there, that is the plot twist that most women don't always get. Because if he was truly
00:42invested, he would have moved before the ultimatum, before the paperwork, before you put your bags by
00:48the door. So when a man only rises when his life is disrupted, he's not protecting the relationship.
00:56He's protecting the ecosystem where you held the weight and he enjoyed the benefits. So here's
01:02your North Star in this. The one thing to check in with when you don't know what to do is to ask
01:08yourself, does his effort create real change in the day to day? Or is it a grand gesture meant to keep
01:17me hoping meant to keep me from leaving? And here's the thing that there is hope, but it doesn't start
01:25with him. It starts with you doing your own work so that you can see this clearly, so that you can
01:31trust yourself again, so that you don't get pulled back in by panic or promises, or this version of him
01:38that only shows up when there's a crisis, right? Your clarity is the actual turning point. Whether you stay
01:44or leave, or whether you rebuild a completely different life, hope is real. Just make sure that
01:50it's anchored in your growth, not his sudden fear of losing you.
