Lewis breaks down why you need space and alone time to heal, how to stop distracting yourself with the next person, and what it actually takes to love yourself enough to create new standards before entering your next relationship.

Lewis discusses his pattern of mistaking chemical attraction for compatibility, which led to repeated failed relationships. He realized the "spark" triggered familiar pain from unhealed wounds. The shift came through intensive self-work (therapy, journaling, alone time).

When he met Martha, they started couples therapy immediately to ensure their values and vision aligned before problems arose. Five years in, married with twin girls, he is prepared for relationship challenges. He breaks down the necessity of space, alone time, self-love, and setting new standards to build real connections, not just chase feelings.
