IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson · Break Up With Him When It’s Over with Elaine Welteroth · 9 Apr 2025 podcast

I love it. Let's give him a round of applause. You know, I love that so much. And I mean, so romantic. And the two of you are the, you guys are goals. You know that. You're marriage goals.

Yeah.

Yep. Because even when they're the right committed man and you're aligned and you're in love, it's still hard. That's right. So why make it harder going into the relationship where you aren't on the same page about what you ultimately want?

So I'm curious, I want to ask you because it sounds like you were the driver in getting the answers to those questions in the dating phase. What gave you the confidence though to really put that question to him and to be willing to walk away if he was not in alignment with you?

Yeah.

The first time.

Absolutely. One thing that we haven't touched on that I think is embedded in Alice's question, is this idea that there's an expiration date on her value as a woman and as a prospective partner. She's 30. She's realizing, okay, I wasted six years with this one. And I think that comes with this pressure to close the deal.

Because society has told us that there is an expiration date on our value and that at some point, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm curious, you have two daughters who get this, who've gotten this their whole lives. How have you seen this advice play out in your child's relationships? And have you been able to kind of see the fruits of all of your wisdom with them?

We're listening. I want to tell you, we're listening.

Yeah.

I wouldn't be the mom that I am if I didn't have the kind of mom that I had. And it sounds like you guys are definitely playing from the same mom playbook.

Well, I'm going to take a page out of your book and I'm going to use an analogy that I just read yesterday that was about writing a book. So basically, making hard decisions about your life is kind of like driving a car in the dark with headlights on. You can only see but so far in front of you. Right? Like the light only shines just so much in front of you. And

You can make the whole trip by just making the best decisions based on what you can see right in front of you. You don't need to be able to see the whole road. Even when the rest is dark, you can see this much. And so I would say make the best decision for your life based on what you can see from where you're sitting right now.

And if you can see that this man doesn't want what you want in the long run. Yeah. It's okay to pivot. And I think your life is going to be full of beautiful pivots. You don't have to stay on the road that you're on just because you traveled it this far. You can make a left turn and you don't have to be a ride or die. You don't got to die. Okay. Just to ride. You can say, I want to live.

I don't want to ride and die. I don't want to die. Yeah. Yeah.
