When You Should Stop Giving So Much To a Relationship [Video]

 

.

.

OK, picture this . . .

I’m in my local coffee shop, minding my own business—my business in this case is ordering an oat milk flat white (just in case we ever go to coffee and you want to know what my order is)—and I get talking to a woman who tells me she’s mad at me.

She knows who I am, she’s a fan, she even said my program worked for her, and yet she told me she was mad at me.

In this week’s new video, I tell the full story . . .

You’re going to want to watch the full story, because it highlights how so many people get hurt because they follow 95% of my advice, but ignore one of the most crucial things I say.

Think of it this way: you can have all the right ingredients to bake a cake, but if you forget to add baking powder, the cake isn’t going to rise. In this video, you’re going to learn what the baking powder of dating is. Without it, your relationship will not rise, which explains what happened to this woman I met in the coffee shop.

Check it out, and don’t forget to leave me a comment when you get there.

Happy weekend, friend!

P.S. I’m giving away a free video module of one of my favorite programs, Attraction to Commitment, at the end of this video. If you’re sick of guys wanting to see you casually, and are ready for a real relationship with someone who’s willing to commit, this is for you. Watch till the end of the video where I give you your free training link.

00:00
so i was in a coffee shop the other day
00:02
and someone comes over and says
00:04
matthew at my table is a huge fan of
00:07
yours she’s got your programs will you
00:08
please come over and say hi
00:10
so i come over to their table i say hi
00:14
and this person says you know thank you
00:16
so much and
00:17
i got your attraction to commitment
00:18
program and it
00:20
absolutely works what you do
00:23
works she said but if i’m honest i’m
00:25
actually a little mad at you
00:27
and i said why are you mad she said
00:30
because i feel like i spent
00:32
so much time trying to bring my best
00:35
trying to be my most attractive self to
00:38
this person
00:39
that i feel like i kind of lost myself
00:42
and just ended up
00:43
giving too much to the relationship when
00:45
i heard that at first i was confused
00:48
because i spend so much of this program
00:51
that she was referring to
00:53
saying things like this remaining a
00:56
challenge
00:57
is about maintaining the other important
01:00
parts
01:01
of your life
01:04
and i want you to think about what those
01:06
things are those things that make
01:08
you you they’re very very important
01:13
because when someone meets you that’s
01:16
the [ __ ]
01:17
that they get attracted to in the first
01:18
place
01:20
is the rounded multi-dimensional
01:24
person that you are but i understand
01:29
there is a kind of selective hearing
01:31
that happens when we
01:32
really like someone when we’re really
01:34
into someone
01:35
our mind goes to how do i keep them how
01:38
do i impress them how do i be my most
01:40
attractive self to this person and of
01:42
course
01:43
i do tell people that in my programs
01:45
here’s how to bring your best
01:46
to the table and i will always stand by
01:49
that by the way i can never relate to
01:51
people in my comments section online
01:53
when
01:53
someone says well why do you need to do
01:55
all of this for a person why do you need
01:56
to go out of your way to
01:58
to be your most attractive self why
02:00
can’t you just be who you are
02:01
and i always think what why are the two
02:03
mutually exclusive why can’t you be who
02:05
you are but also focus on bringing your
02:07
best to a relationship
02:08
i want to do that i want to be
02:10
irreplaceable in my life and in every
02:12
one of my relationships i want to bring
02:13
so much value to that relationship
02:16
that it’s obvious to someone why they
02:18
would want to continue that relationship
02:19
with me whether it’s in business
02:21
in my love life in my friendships my
02:23
family i’m
02:24
all about bringing value but the
02:27
selective hearing that happens sometimes
02:29
when someone listens to one of my
02:31
programs
02:31
is that they hear all the parts that
02:33
they can do to be impressive
02:35
but they forget about the parts or they
02:38
ignore the parts where i say
02:40
by the way pay very close attention to
02:44
whether this person is bringing you the
02:46
same amount of value
02:48
mutual investment and i’ve been saying
02:50
this for years now
02:51
you don’t invest in someone based on how
02:54
much you like them you invest in them
02:55
based on how much they invest in you
02:58
pay very close attention to whether they
03:00
are investing the same amount of time
03:01
and energy
03:02
in you because although i talk about
03:05
being irreplaceable
03:06
although i talk about everything you
03:08
should put in that energy
03:10
that time that value you should put in
03:13
should be expensive it should come at a
03:16
high cost
03:18
and the cost is i’m willing to give you
03:20
the world
03:22
as long as you meet me there that’s the
03:24
cost
03:25
and if you ignore the fact that someone
03:27
isn’t meeting you there
03:29
now you’re in trouble and why does
03:31
someone ignore the fact that this person
03:33
isn’t meeting them there
03:35
because they’re blinded by how much they
03:37
like or love the person
03:39
they’re blinded by how impressive or
03:42
wonderful
03:43
they think that person is and they
03:46
forget that it’s not enough in a
03:48
relationship to be impressed by the
03:49
person you’re with
03:51
you also have to be impressed by the
03:53
relationship
03:54
it’s not enough to think they’re great
03:56
the relationship itself has to provide
03:58
you with value
04:00
because if you’re with someone who’s
04:01
massively impressive
04:03
but the relationship itself does not
04:06
bring you value does not bring you joy
04:08
then you’re in a world of suffering and
04:10
pain no matter how wonderful the person
04:12
you’re with
04:13
is and your reality isn’t determined by
04:16
how impressive they are
04:18
but how beautiful the ecosystem of the
04:20
relationship is
04:21
that’s what’s going to determine your
04:23
emotional reality and your emotional
04:24
reality is going to determine your
04:26
happiness
04:27
so ask not just are they impressive is
04:30
the relationship and what i get from the
04:32
relationship
04:32
impressive because that’s the only way
04:35
i’m gonna bring
04:36
all these things that matthew hussey
04:38
says to bring to the table
04:39
to the table and if you wake up every
04:41
morning and ask yourself are my needs
04:43
being met in this relationship
04:45
and the answer is no too many days or
04:48
weeks or months in a row
04:50
you know something has to change if you
04:52
want to continue this journey with me i
04:54
