Janet’s Dating Update - Knowing When It’s Time to Move On From a Relationship | AsianBossGirl Ep 240

"Yes, I talk about wanting to be married and yes, I talk about wanting a family. And I do want those things. But I don't think that I need them to have a happy life"

I hope Janet discovers a caring partner who can truly grasp her emotional needs. While I don't want to make assumptions about her past relationship, I can relate from past relationships where it can be quite painful when you attempt to express yourself emotionally, only to have your partner respond with simplicity and logic or become emotionally dismissive during disagreements. It's often not about personally understanding your partner's feelings or stepping into their shoes, but rather about acknowledging their perspective and accepting their emotions as valid. Communication is ineffective without mutual comprehension

I just love listening to Janet talk. She's so well spoken!

Phew… rewatching this as I just turned 30 and fell out of a decade long relationship with someone I thought I’d marry. Feeling lost and scared. I remember my last major breakup I leaned heavily into Mel’s breakup episode and now I get to go through this journey with Janet 😅. Forever thankful for this podcast y’all are truly my older sisters❤

Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable, Janet! ❤

You're all so articulate in explaining your thoughts. This podcast is intense and engaging.

Janet, thank you for choosing to share your story! I really admire you for that. Most people only share the success stories and not the hard parts.

Thank you for being so vulnerable with us ! Sending much love to you Janet <3

There's no timeline for any relationship, and laying that out at the start is great. Your vulnerability shows how strong you are, Janet. Thank you for sharing!

thank you for sharing, Janet. the three of you have modeled for me genuine, vulnerable, considerate, caring, and responsible conversation. thank you :)

Janet you're so well spoken and kind - not easy to speak about a newly ended relationship (publicly) and you've articulated it in the most respectful way. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your personal life and insightful thoughts on relationships "in a time crunch" - super relatable. Sending you so much love!! <3

Thanks for sharing this! So transparent and love it!

Thank you so much for your willingness to share, Janet! I am sure it was not easy. Sending lots of love and pls take care of yourself!!!

Janet, thank you for being vulnerable with us!

I’ve been in your shoes before. I really resonated with what you said about maintaining your independence. It’s so easy for women to lose themselves in a relationship compared to men. I hope you take comfort in knowing that it will feel so much better when you come back to yourself and you’re on the other side and “fully healed.”

Janet!! Sending you lots of hugs! Thank you for being so vulnerable BUT ALSO for being such a strong and graceful role model ❤ I appreciate all of the positive energy you send out and we need more people like you in the world! You absolutely didn't need to share something so personal and difficult publicly to us. But I appreciate you doing so and for being so open about your learnings and reflections 🙏

"What's meant for you will not pass you by" - claiming this for myself, thank you for these wise words of hope and your vulnerability to tell your story, Janet! Breakups are never easy but through it you find a piece of yourself you're meant to carry on to the right person and the right relationship (and it IS coming!)

Thank you for sharing your story Janet. Glad you are able to reflect on your experience. Sending you lots of love! 💕

I’m going through a breakup with similar feelings. It’s really hard to feel like no matter how much xyz, we weren’t compatible. Thank you for your wise words Janet❤

Thank you for sharing Janet! The thing that came to mind when I listened was that with partners, we have to confront differences with a) change (that is, can we change this behavior) b) acceptance (can I be in this with you even if we differ on xyz) or c) ending things because it's not a/b. So key and hearing your experience reminded me of this lesson. I'm so glad you know yourself well enough to see those signs. I know the grief will be hard for a while, and thats okay. You got this 💛
