Why do so many relationships seem to fall apart at around three months? You finally feel like things are going somewhere, and then suddenly, something shifts. In this episode, I'm breaking down the “three-month cliff” and what’s really happening when a promising relationship suddenly fizzles, pulls back, or ends.

We’ll talk about:

  • The 3 biggest reasons relationships fall apart around three months
  • How to tell whether it’s a genuine incompatibility, a commitment issue, or simply a lack of chemistry
  • Signs that it's you or them (depending on the situation)
  • How to actually make it past the three-month mark
  • Why a three-month relationship that ends is NOT a failure

Plus, I answer a dating dilemma from a 43-year-old man who is worried about eventually outliving his future partner.
