Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are joined by "Brutal" Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) for this round of Feedback Friday! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you tell your friend he talks so much that other people don't want to be around him? And could there be underlying issues for his incessant jibber jabber? Is resenting your spouse just one symptom of living a life that seems out of your control? What does it mean to be a victim, and how can you start regaining control? It seems like you have most of the trappings of a fulfilling life -- so why are you too depressed to enjoy any of it? What's really missing from the equation? Is it possible your significant other -- who takes you for granted, talks down to you, and doesn't appreciate or attempt to reciprocate the effort you put into the relationship -- is just a jerk? Why did the person you're dating wait to tell you a few months into the relationship that she doesn't believe in monogamy? What's the next step to take when a volatile and potentially suicidal loved one constantly cries out to you for help but never follows the advice you try to give them?

Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) is a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship sage, and author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love. What We Discuss with Linda Carroll: What to do when good chemistry goes bad. Why falling in love with "forbidden" people feels so exciting -- even when we know it's wrong. What to do when we find ourselves Facebook-stalking old flames and fantasizing about rekindling relationships probably best left in the past. What happens to an otherwise good relationship under constant attack by misfiring fight or flight chemicals (and how to get back on target). How to get over the end of a devastating relationship and on with your life. And much more...
