Heartbreak Therapy: How Listening To Matthew Hussey Made Me Feel Better

The feeling of someone not wanting you anymore. The feeling of abandonment and betrayal is a feeling I never want to ever experience again. Three times is more than enough, really.

If I could be completely honest, I am a bit disappointed in myself. I should have let this guy go, a long while ago! Why? Why? Why?

Relationships are too complicated and, most times, a disappointment. But I have convinced myself that it is normal. Everyone has gone through some form of negative experience that challenges their worth.

Maybe I wasn’t good enough for him. Maybe he got bored of me. Maybe I thought I was annoying.

Yes, I’m still sad. But I realized that it was time to let go; we were incompatible from the beginning in more ways than we were compatible.

I have many ways of dealing with these emotions, such as not eating as much, staying in bed, thinking about him, thinking about the girl he left me for (yes, he did), and self-blaming myself for not ending it sooner or at least going on along with it until it came to a humiliating end.

But whatever…I know I’m not the only one who has gone through this, and I know it could have been much worse.

I will be okay. After all, this heartbreak isn’t my first rodeo (haha, rodeo).

I have my own way of dealing with heartbreak, and surprisingly I have found a new way of dealing with it.

I’m kind of embarrassed by it, but I have been binge-watching/listening to Matthew Hussey, the famous dating coach of today.

Who Is Matthew Hussey?

First of all, I just wanted to mention that I am very judgemental when it comes to those life + relationship coaches. Who, by the way, is at least 10 years younger than me. C’mon, you’re 25 years old, and they are already giving me advice on how to navigate through life? I often question how much life experience they actually have.

I’m just saying, but anyways…

This Matthew Hussey guy though he probably a year or two older than me, and he’s been giving dating advice for fifteen years or something. So pretty much, he’s been doing his thing while still in the womb. Just kidding, I‘m exaggerating. But he’s a pretty young guy, and the fact that he is this good-looking British guy (think of a less nerdy Harry Potter) doesn’t hurt his business either. That’s me being honest.

There is a market for desperate women looking for their prince charming, and that market is BIG. Good for you, Matthew Hussey! I tip my hat to you. Or in this case, maybe “drop my handkerchief” for you. (If you are familiar with Matthew Hussey, you would recognize that “handkerchief” reference).

Ladies! I am now one of you guys. Heartbroken, lost, and in desperate need to find a high-value man to replace the cowboy with the deep southern drawl that I loved way too much. Cowboys are kind of sexy though if I can be honest.

Yeah, forget about him.

Listening To Matthew Hussey

I don’t know if I am that desperate to get over this guy, but I guess I am. But binge listening to Matthew Hussey has made this break-up a little bit better. It did alleviate a lot of self-doubts. I started to see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Listening to his podcast reminded me that everything was going to be okay. That’s what I needed. Matthew Hussey wasn’t telling me anything that I did know rather, he was reminding me of what I already knew just in a manly British accent.

I hate to admit it, but I completely understand why some women need this guy. I hate it even more that I have to admit that I needed this guy for a hot minute.

I admit it!

Relationships Are Hard But We Need To Understand Them

My relationships with men may not be the most honorable. I honestly want to believe that I don’t need someone and how I am this independent woman, but I’d be denying myself a good thing if it was out there.

So “I Try” by Macy Gray…

I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it’s clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it’s clear My world crumbles when you are not clear

I am no relationship expert, nor do I plan to be. But I am human with emotions and heartbreak is just an emotion.

In conclusion…

I know I will get out of this funk one of these days. I understand that this is something I probably had to experience. Still, I just wanted to thank Mr. Matthew Hussey for developing his content and helping to reason my thoughts and feelings.

I feel a little silly listening to this guy, but I think I needed it. I really did. I like you, Matthew Hussey, but it will be a whole other heartbreak to get me to give up my money.

But I genuinely believe you’re worth it. Thanks for being a podcast and/or YouTube video away and helping me move on.
