Yup that hit in the feels. I'm currently forcing myself to walk away from a man who's potential has my whole heart, but his actions have done nothing but break my heart
Been there. I see it as a "choose your own anxiety" thing - you stay and experience the constant anxiety they give you with their actions, or you walk away, spend some time being sad/anxious, but ultimately see the positives of choosing not to engage with this person anymore. Best to you.
Me too
Same
I WISH for this upcoming, days, weeks, and months that you'll get through it, with the proper energy and get back to your path as you should.
You’re in love with the fake him. The real you is revealed in your actions not your “potential”. Idk why straight women don’t understand this. Is it society conditioning you to ignore red flags?
That was so profound! I was in that type of relationship but I made the decision to leave because I chose the reality and how I wanted to be treated versus waiting on what he can be. I love the peace of mind of doing the right thing for me.
We have to allow others to be themselves instead of our dream. They " could" treat you better but they chose not to.
Been there, done that. After spending 4 years with this person not living up to their potential, it was time to go.
I spent 16 😢 two kids 😢
@LeahBreHappy 35...thank God no kids...saw the signs very early in the relationship...but stayed ...worked for me at the time,was dealing with own childhood trauma
Exactly!!! She spoke truth
We need the full episode! Love Megan and Drew! ❤️❤️❤️
The way it was explained to me, by a doctor I have so much respect for is, I was in a relationship with a man who has complex (adult) human emotions and no tools to navigate through the tough situations that life presents to us. If you refuse the growth, you won’t grow. So, Megan and Drew, I see you 😌💜🦋💜😌
Drew is amazing at helping her guests open up ! Who doesn’t open up easier when there’s a dog 😍
I have been going through a breakup and journaling deeply about this very thing for months. It’s like the took the words out of my mouth. So nice to hear someone else relate!
PLEASE drop the full episode!!!
Ahh I felt every word she said! You can’t help people who don’t acknowledge their mistakes or even want to change ! We gotta leave them because they will never change ! It’s heartbreaking because same
We definitely live in our own heads through our experiences. This is so true! Life is so short we've got to embrace it while we can. Drew you Rock!
I have always loved Fox. I always knew she was a special soul. Not just incredibly beautiful but her soul. She’s human like the rest of us and her values speak volumes
I really feel like women everywhere know what this feels like and can connect to those words, thankyou Megan ❤❤
That was very deep and profound. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I clicked this short video, but dern if that did not just hit me like a brick wall. Definitely buying your book Megan!
Love drew 🫶🏻
I do the same thing. And it is one of life greatest lesson. Because not all people evolve to that potential. And that enery Ibput it now on being a great mentor
Oooof I felt this.
PLEASE drop the FULL episode
Ladies of the industry, happy new years. One love.
Good advice to star the new year. 🙌 💯 👏 ❤
Well said. Such insightful words from a soul who is beautiful from the inside out. Megan has an old soul ♥️
"Insightful words" An actual poem in her book: " I hate men, i hate men, i hate men, i hate men, i hate men, i hate men, i hate men". If a man did the same about women you would cry misogyny
She didnt lie we definitely fall for thier potential
In layman's terms the bad boys doesn't work out long term, and this is the time and age where women tend to find out what the difference is between the bad boy, the "nice guy" and an actual decent man is.
Since when is Brian Austin green a bad boy lmao
@@thelight1385 you realize that she's had more than 1 boyfriend in her life right?
Can so relate
happy new year to the most beautiful woman in the world called 💘drew💘a big hug for you my beautiful drew💘
2:44 I believe our lovely pretty Megan is more of a medium then anyone realizes some of us have this gift others do not she clearly does and that said it is very hard for people to relate or understand her thought processes I totally get her❤
I'm currently reading this, so far it's great! Also gotta love those drawings in it. I know I'm gonna read it a few times.
Happy new year drew an team
Is it what they call illusion? Of courseeee.... It happens always to me. You fall in love with the ideal of this person not what he really is.
Drew has such a natural beautiful aging look❤
That’s so true and sad
Been there done that!!
So real lol ❤
Where is this full episode? And I need that book
twin flame 🤍🧡
I loved the poems! Also, Megan has been such a positive influence on mgk.
where do I get to see this whole interview??
She just described two of my college boyfriends to a T. Need to get this book.
Megan's face doesn't move when she speaks. 😅
Where can I watch the full episode?
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will SOMEWHAT like big dogs and romantically i did do and/or PROBABLY will really LOVE megan fox because she's LITERALLY always had and still has an EQUALLY REALLY attractive face to go along with her partial vegetarian diet and i did do and/or PROBABLY will really LOVE drew barrymore because she's LITERALLY always had and still has an EQUALLY attractive face to go along with her FULL vegetarian diet
Man or Woman for sure. It’s from her perspective so of course she’s writing from her point of view. It’s almost as if this whole show isn’t about both men and women and the growth of both genders, rather pushing this entitlement mentality towards women by not once including men in the equation. Not once was their mention of the fact that the dynamic of falling in love with someone’s potential also is applicable to the other partner. The whole ambient created is the problem with majority with relationships in the 21st century, men and women and not both included in trauma affecting one’s ability to love the other partner. “Only” women can be affected by the man’s inability to grow into what he needs to be for the relationship to succeed. Love the information presented, it resonates with and LOT of men and women in todays age, bravo.
It sounds like Megan is talking about MGK. He's a hot mess and she is doing everything possible to save their relationship. It's just really sad that Megan isn't getting the love she really needs in this relationship.
Been there done that 😢
Drew, open for business without expectation, is it probable that you can at least work on giving someone your time just for fun for now? This could help you to at least take a step towards healing your heart. It took me practically ten years, but it can be wonderful if you go for it one step at a time. You already understand that love, like life, is none linear. One step at a time.
💗
I know its that darn CHAD 😔
Tell it Megan…
1:07
I had that 16 years with my bf and finally hes going to therapy ...
Goodness gacuious me. Dr Peterson is 100% correct about women.
Priscila Alcantara dos USA...
Who thinks this poem is about MGK?
rn there's beef ;)
Networks online! pick this show up! No one smart pays for cable...
That men didnt love you, or is his potential or not, he didnt show himself when you meet him, other discusion is unnecessary
"Did you read the book?" In other words, "yeah, Drew, like you really read every page of my book." Btw, Drew, please stop making such a big deal out of your singlehood, it is not a handicap and it appears as though you definitely enjoy your life without a man.
Hey friend drew barrymore AKA casey I am your new subscriber friend I love you new friend casey....
What is she wearing?
Not a good look and not age appropriate
@@nicoleo3523that's wat last trauma do to SOME OF US
Something she likes
Keeping her dog there to keep Drew from getting to close!!😅
😂
Where is that boooooooooook 🏃🏾♀️
her debut in MK1 last year was bad@$$
Wtf happened to megan fox she used to be beautiful. Megan fox from transformers will forever live in our memories
AND SHES NOT TALKING ABOUT COLSON AKA MGK EITHER!!!!!!! K THANKS!!!!!!
My half brother Chris Gabriel Munoz ♉️🌍⭐️🕶️
Megan is super intelligent but is starting to look botched. She is prettier more natural. I like her way of articulating
Holy plastic surgery batman,megan looks like a different person😂
Thats Mexan Fox????? What?? Doesn't even remotely look like her.
I can’t take her seriously dressed like a 14 year old. 😂
@nicoleo3523 Lol, true although I've never taken that nut job seriously.
This is so pretentious and comical 😂😂😂😂😂
No it's really not. It's a lived truth for alot of people.
lol@@alyssawoodman
Help me out. On a scale of 1 to 10, how profound is this? Seems like about a 2 to me.😂😂😂
I hope you never love someone with your whole heart and still have to walk away because loving them wasn't enough. It is a death so great it consumes you for awhile.
@@Adriana_42what does “heaney” mean? Was it a typo?
Shout out to your therapist.
this is insanely disgusting in every way possible
No. Just no.
Surprised Drew has the capacity to read every single page of a book, assistant must have helped, Drew is not that bright 😮
Even if this were true (which is not) she's still done better than you ever will. She's Drew Barrymore and you're a faceless no one.
@@alyssawoodman what a cutting remark, think of it yourself? Doubt it, you do not seem to be too bright 😎
But in the end it doesn’t really matter …,sort of speak
Did she forget to wear pants? Not very professional looking
Megan Fox used to be so beautiful before all those injections 💉 and ALL that Plastic Surgery.
BORING!
What's up with Megan's neck? It's a lumpy mess.
Truly a horrible actress. Why expendable 4. She sucks
