“If you’re having these conversations to get the other person to apologize, it’s probably not productive” Wow, thank you for saying that. That was really eye opening for me

[skybug]

that sudden "i think you're really beautiful" in response to self deprecation hit me so hard tears sprung to my eyes. wow.

[redheaded_asmr]

the two women who are clearly both just trying so so so hard to make it work. i cry.... the amount of love and care they have for eachother 😢

[TheAjaWhite]

Whoever came up with the idea to have a therapist review this video in this way was genius and needs a raise. As a psych student, specifically focused on family, this was phenomenal to watch and learn from. Please do more of these!!

Dude, Stacy and her wife almost made me cry multiple times, they're such a polarizing couple.

[lindsaylarson]

if she did a therapist podcast, I would definitely listen because the way she explains things and sees things within a relationship are so eye-opening

[StephAnya]

Thank you for all the kind words, everyone! This was fun to do with Healthline! ❤️

The blonde woman acted admirably in my opinion. I'd have loved to get such a direct no from some of my love interests. The few times I have, I've managed to move on way faster and easier

[Hello_Spaceboy]

Oh girl. I just had a major breakup and the worst part about it was "now that I'm finally starting to feel better, it's too late." I feel for her so hard.

The woman who said she was angry because she feels they haven't tried everything isn't considering that being temporarily apart is one of those everything's, maybe the other woman cannot find herself whilst being mixed up at such close proximity every day at the moment. Sometimes your idea of what options are left are not the only options but your perceived options that work for you. ❤

The married couple made me cry 😢 the empathy they had for each other made me so sad for some reason. Like I just wanted them to be happy, but it was so unfair that the issues in their relationship were not letting that happen.

[vittoriagnecchi]

The gay dude has so much self-awareness and emotional maturity.

[saushakamara]

The 2 women really love each other. They're so considerate and caring of one another. I hope they figure it out, at the least for a close friendship.

[jazminefaircloth]

What you said at 19:14 is so true. My ex told me he didn’t love me anymore and even though that hurt like a ton of bricks; it allowed me to move on and that’s the only thing I am grateful for from him.

Steph is so articulate, knowledgeable, and good at explaining to us what she's observing and thinking as she analyzes these people. I'm surprised this video doesn't have more views but hope it gains lots of traction soon. It's well produced and super interesting! I see she does have a channel so I'm definitely subscribing to both.

The married couple is me and my ex boyfriend. We are great as parents but the love had fizzled after three years of being together. I was pregnant during the beginning of the pandemic and I have postpartum depression. It got to the point where my mental health was hurting our relationship. I am a better headspace both physically and mentally. Emotionally, it's hard that we still care for each other but just on different paths career wise and as individuals. Maybe one day, we can get back together but I am happy that we are co-parenting our beloved daughter. She is the reason why her dad and I have respect for one another. We had been best friends for almost six years before we became a couple. I am letting God put me on a positive path as a mother and an individual. God bless this couple. Stay strong and be the best parents that you can be 🙏🏾❤️

When that couple said “i still find you so beautiful even when you cry” i just exploded into tears.

To have someone have that love and care for you even when youre down and out and just emotional. It’s so rare because people want to be so objective sometimes. I hope they figure things out

[jodiesmith]

i genuinely hope the married couple can work things out. they are so gentle with one another, and they have so much empathy with each other. with work and effort i believe they could be happier in their marriage.

[PlebianGorilla]

I recently ended a 3+ year relationship. My first serious one as an adult. I’m hurting.

[mellfera]

I hope your videos get more engagement b/c youre so articulate, educational and genuinely lovely. I'm honestly shocked your channel hasn't popped off more.
