Love Life With Matthew Hussey

Have you found yourself checking up on an ex on social media after a break up? Maybe you even found yourself jealous upon finding out they were doing well, or found someone else, or had a success that you don't get to be a part of. In this solo episode, Matt discusses what it means when we overly focus on our ex's life after a break up and how we can get over comparing ourselves to our previous pa...

Have you ever stayed with someone in spite of them saying they weren't interested in something serious? Perhaps you'd hoped that with enough time, they'd see your value, realize what you have together is special, and decide to get into a relationship in spite of their fears . . .

When it comes to the traits we want in a partner, “emotionally unavailable” is never on the list. So why do so many of us end up dating not just one emotionally unavailable person, but a series of them? When someone feels slightly out of reach, our instinct is often to chase them down and make them ours . . . but this is often an unwinnable bet, where we risk losing not only our hearts, but also o...

A recent dating study showed that many people have what is known as a "back-burner relationship". And many people date today while also still being in touch with exes or former sexual partners. Is this trend dangerous for building a relationship? And what does it cost us in the long-run if we have a "backup person" who we keep contact with? --- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You...

Have you ever dated someone who’s so hard to stay away from EVEN THOUGH they’re not interested in a relationship and you know you should keep your distance?

Have you ever had an insecurity, a jealousy, or something that hurt you or made you feel threatened, but you didn’t know the right way to bring it up? Of course you have. We all have. Maybe you’re feeling that right now. It can be terrifying, can’t it? We are told vulnerability is good, but we know it can hurt the relationship if we repeatedly express our fears and insecurities. But being vulnerab...

We asked YOU this week how not having confidence affects your love life, and you answered! It's only when we really ask ourselves this question that we can see all the small ways that lack of self-esteem or negative self-talk can be causing us play it safe, self-sabotage, or just live with unnecessary anxiety. In this episode, Matthew, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson dive into the roots of confidence...

If you’ve experienced this, you will know that this type of hedging can leave you INCREDIBLY confused. You feel you have something special with him, yet he’s still holding back.

It's easy to find yourself comparing your attractiveness to others in dating. We compare our looks, our job, our body, our wealth...and we can easily feel like we don't match up. But people don't fall in love with characteristics. And comparison will always leave us with more anxiety and self-sabotage than learning to love what we have. In this episode, Matt and Stephen discuss the problem of comp...

When you’re looking for a partner to have a family with, the pressure of the timeline imposed on you by your biological clock can make the whole process overwhelming. (Not to mention, when you’re fearful that time is running out, you can end up making bad dating choices.) In this episode, Matthew talks to two experts on fertility: Dr. Serena H. Chen, a fertility doctor, and Dr. Ioana Baiu, a surge...

In the aftermath of a toxic or narcissistic relationship, we can lose all sense of self. Whether our partner tried to steal our joy at every opportunity, or they wore down our self-esteem with endless arguments and cold-shoulder treatments . . . the end of a relationship like this will leave us feeling disoriented and lost, and it can be hard to rewire our brains and resume normal life once we’re...

We all know we won’t connect with everyone we meet . . . but one of the most frustrating situations we can find ourselves in is one where we feel an initial spark and a connection, but things just don’t seem to progress. And in the end, they end up fading as we feel a lack of momentum. Rather than giving in to our desire to double down on communication, there’s a simple shift we can make on a date...

Back in ye olden times, the fear that a partner might be cheating was enough to keep someone up at night. But in recent years, we’ve added a new layer of anxiety to the mix: “micro-cheating,” a.k.a. “back burner relationships.” In fact, when Psychology Today recently polled people who are in a relationship, 56% revealed they had a back burner person: someone they’re in contact with who could be an...

When we like someone, it’s tempting to move fast, let our emotions take over, and simply do what feels good. But in this frenzy of excitement, we can inadvertently end up on a path we don’t want to be on… In this new episode, I answer a question from someone who didn’t want to repeat the last 2 years of her life, which she spent in a ‘friends with benefits’ situation. --- ►► Unlock My Best Solutio...

My brother Stephen and I talked about recent research that showed differences in how men and women process emotional pain, how long they take to recover from heartbreak, and how likely they are to want to get back together.

We’ve all experienced this relentless form of self-torture . . . Whether your breakup was two days or two decades ago, you find yourself looking back and wondering how things could’ve turned out had you acted differently.
