I address Julie's question, "How long should we date before we get engaged, or how long should I give him to propose?" on this episode, Dear Erin, How Long Should I Give Him To Propose?

In this week's episode, I chat with Grace Fraga, comedienne, actress, and author. The beauty of Grace is she is an open book, and she has a way of using self-deprecating humor to discuss the sensitive subject matter.

Grace has been engaged a total of four times. One of her ex-husbands was a narcissist. Grace recalls him gaslighting her in their relationship. She talks about toxic positivity, which essentially makes an excuse for the narcissist's behavior and actions. It's hard for a person in a relationship with someone who has this condition to believe that this is their true self.

Divorce is strange.  You go from sleeping next to someone you love and trust to not speaking to them at all.  You transition from putting someone else’s needs above your own to realizing that you should have been making your own happiness a priority the whole time.  You have to find your identity as an individual again.
