is a story about a little nerdy kind of awkward guy named Gus and he's been

or maybe even fate they happened to meet and this series is about the journey of
their relationships the ups and the downs but in this video we're gonna
recap season three and talk about how this is literally the epitome of toxic
relationships so if you have not watched love yet there will be some spoilers but

that is a lot of what's gonna be going on in this video ok so if you haven't
subscribed yet make sure that you do subscribe because I will be doing other
videos on this show and diving into specific scenes and I'm also an addict
and alcoholic in recovery so any of you out there who are not alcoholics in
recovery and like this show I will give you a little bit more clarity on what's
going on in our crazy heads why some things happen the way they did in this
relationship it might help you understand a little bit more but all of
you out there who are addicts or alcoholics in recovery
this show is literally why you don't get into a relationship your first year of
recovery ok but anyways let's jump into this thing like as I was watching season
3 of love I was sitting there just watching this stuff just the cringe and
just feeling terrible for Mickey and terrible for Gus and terrible for the
friends I'm sitting there I'm like why why do I love this show so much I was in
there and just asked myself like why am I so fascinated by this show
why have I watched it you know religiously
season one what is it about this show and then it clicked for me this show
reminds me of every single toxic terrible relationship that I have ever
been in it has reminded me of every awful relationship that I thought was
going to end with this happily ever after
that is why I was so fascinated by it and I think that's exactly why a lot of
people who like this show are very into this show because everything that
happens in this is so so common like last night you know what I was watching
I was sitting there thinking I was like you know if anybody out there wanted to
know like what to do to have a healthy relationship all you
need to do is watch love seasons 1 2 & 3 ok take everything that they do in their
relationship and do the exact opposite that is how you will have a healthy
relationship because literally everything they do just from the passive
aggressiveness to the inability to control one's anger to point out each
other's faults in the middle of a fight like sit back and ask yourself this when
when in your life in any of the relationships you've had when has a
fight ever been resolved by your partner pointing out something that you did and
then you bring up something that they did how is that how is that worked out
for you in the past not so well I'm guessing right but also like with
Mickey's character as a recovering alcoholic it's crazy to me because you
know she mentions when they get into the relationship in season 2 she talks about
how you're not supposed to get a relationship for your first year by the
way who like the people writing this script like the way they depicted Mickey
and like things about AAA and stuff like that like Wow
beautiful beautiful like I get really excited when I see shows that do a very
very good job about this all right so it was it was actually perfect like a lot
of the sayings a lot of the things that make you was going through but there
were so many times where Mickey she starts these fights but she feels
completely justified in it and as I'm watching it I'm like girl girl girl girl
this is why this like what's happening in this scene
this is why you don't get in a relationship your first year like like I
said I will be doing more episode breakdowns but for example the whole
scene at Gus's parents house where he said you know don't hold your breath
about having a baby and then he talks to her about him being worried about her
recovery like yes that's why that's one of the
reasons why you don't get a relationship your first year most people in your life
are just waiting for the other shoe to drop you know what I mean
like I'm an addict in recovery who has had multiple relapses and 90% of anybody
who's staying sober has had multiple relapses but on the other hand - Gus you
know and they didn't show it as much it only showed Mickey I like one meeting
and Gus at one codependence meeting and like you know this is why codependence
and alcoholics or addicts have these crazy relationships because Gus keeps
wanting to give give give give give and wants to try to fix Mickey and what I
found interesting - and they didn't really like dive deep into it when they
met because his parents and his family his mom was drunk but we didn't really
find out if she was an alcoholic or she just likes to get drunk but typically
children of alcoholics or addicts they will date people like their Victor
alcoholic parents okay so Gus without even realizing it he might be trying to
date Mickey to try to fix her the way he could never fix his mom and so there's
so many things we can learn about mental health for this show it's absolutely
amazing like I work at a rehab for those of you don't know I really want my
clients to watch this show because the biggest suggestion is don't get a
relationship the first year and pulling 95 to a hundred percent of them do get a
relationship their first year it is very rare that you find somebody who doesn't
but maybe they can learn from this but that brings me to the next point oh my
god so like I'm sitting here I'm thinking about what the writers were
doing with this and I'm just like were they trying to show like what real love
looks like like you know that they overcome obstacles they overcome
challenges and they stay together I'm like now no they did this way too well
I really think that the writers of the show love they wanted to show you what a
toxic terrible relationship looks like like I'm gonna do some more
investigation but I guarantee some of the writers or Judd Apatow or Paul rust
they've been in a relationship like this when they dated an addict or an
alcoholic and it was awful and they were just showing that truth but what breaks
my heart what breaks my heart so much oh my god
is seeing the response on Twitter and how people think like oh my god this is
so so beautiful I'm like this this is why this is why I have my channel this
is why I started the rewired soul because you poor poor things this is not
what a good relationship looks like and I don't think the writers ever intended
it for it to be like that this is what a bad relationship looks like but anyways
so you get my point let's take some take a minute and read a
few tweets okay so this first tweet is from Melanie Jackson four episodes into
the last season of love and I'm cheering for Gus more than ever
Melanie if you're cheering for Gus it better be cheering for Gus to take off
run away never look back and forget all about Mickey I hope that's what you were
cheering on but I don't think it's about you max this next tweet comes from Liz
all mighty sorry this might be a spoiler but oh my god I just cried for a whole
minute cuz legit Gus and Mickey got married also cuz when I married thing
eloping and a reception and people okay so at first I thought this is like kind
of a joke and I was like no no this isn't a joke like watching the last
episode I was just furious like I'm gonna do a breakdown specifically of the
last episode but anyway it's like when they were getting married and then they
decided to call it off I'm like oh my God thank God thank God they came to
their senses but then do with them sneaking off to go get married I'm like
no no no no no no absolutely not like again it pains me to see how people saw
especially last season last episode played out with the friends climbing and
I'm like are you sure about you know and bringing up all the issues
they've had I'd be like perfect perfect talk about the denial
all right let's read this last week from Sebby 316 that's it it's done the ending
could not have been more perfect I'm so sad that is over and I'm so happy
for Mickey and Gus this right here this right here is the exact reason why I had
to talk about this stuff like no no no no and I also subby if you watch this I
saw one of your other tweets and you talked about how it makes you miss an
old relationship no man you getting out of that relationship was the best thing
to ever happen to you guys this is not what a healthy relationship looks like
it is not the threats of the breakups the the fights over small stupid
insignificant things relationships are not about taking two broken people and
having them try to fix each other that is not how this thing works
like like let's think about it for a second I know it might be extreme but
like you guys like this is almost like saying that Sid and Nancy were this
adorable couple but no we look back in history and say this was sick and
twisted but one of the reasons I started my whole playlist that I hope you check
out after watching this video called the broken picker is because people have
this false idea of what a romantic and healthy relationship looks like this is
absolutely not what this stuff supposed to look like so for all of you out there
who thought that this had a beautiful ending and it couldn't have ended better
and you're so happy for Gus and Mickey like I'm gonna make a prediction if in
some time they make a season four or five and six of this I guarantee i 100%
guarantee it's gonna end in a divorce in less than a year that is my bet I would
put money on it okay there is no way that that would work out by the way if
you want to take a look at the United States divorce rates this show is the
reason why because people jump into these relationships and think that this
is their soul mate because they are so broken and messed up okay
but anyways anyways like I said if you have not watched love yet please go
