Summary This Podcast Episode, "When to Walk Away: Recognizing the Signs of a Bad Relationship," focuses on helping individuals identify whether they are in a bad relationship and what actions to take. The speaker, Muralidharan Jayaram, is a partner at Citrines and uses Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to help individuals get breakthrough results in their businesses and personal lives. Muralidharan Jayaram shares that many of his clients are in bad relationships, causing them mental stress, and he follows the standard principle of not telling clients to stay or leave, but rather solving the problem by asking thought-provoking questions from different angles. People often prolong or postpone making major decisions because of fear, such as the fear of being alone or fear of the unknown. However, staying in a toxic relationship can lead to physical and mental health issues, depression, anxiety, and regret later in life. Muralidharan Jayaram stresses that children should not be used as an excuse to stay in a bad relationship and provides provocative questions to help individuals take action. The speaker advises people to consider whether they are being abused by their partner and to leave immediately if they are. He notes that one in three women worldwide experiences abuse and that 80,000 women died from abuse in 2021, with 58% of these women and girls being killed by an intimate partner or close family member. Muralidharan Jayaram emphasizes that individuals' happiness and safety are the top priorities, and they should take action to protect themselves. Next, he talks about how people stay in bad relationships because of fear. There are two main fears that hold people back - fear of being alone and fear of the unknown. But Muralidharan Jayaram stresses that it's not a smart idea to do nothing because a toxic relationship can take a toll on one's physical and mental health, leading to depression and anxiety. He also mentions that many people use their children as an excuse for not leaving a bad relationship. However, children should never be used as an excuse to stay in a marriage. If the relationship has gone bad and there is no hope of making it right, it's better to take action and leave. Otherwise, as the children grow up and leave, one will be left with a person they are unhappy with, leading to a life filled with misery, pain, and suffering. Muralidharan Jayaram then takes listeners through a series of thought-provoking questions, including non-negotiable, juggler, and heavy-hitting questions. He encourages listeners to consider these questions carefully and to share the video with anyone they know who might be in a bad relationship. Finally, Muralidharan Jayaram emphasizes that one's happiness and safety are the number one priorities. If someone is experiencing any form of abuse, whether it's physical, sexual, mental, emotional, financial, verbal, stalking, or isolation, they should leave the relationship immediately. Overall, Jayaraman provides valuable insight and advice on recognizing the signs of a bad relationship and when to walk away. He encourages listeners to take action and make informed decisions that are beneficial for themselves, their partners, and any children involved. There are several more questions he asks in the episode.
