Group Therapy: I Love Him, But Not In Love With Him

Another great session of Group Therapy this morning. A woman emailed The Mike & Carla Morning Show saying that she loves her boyfriend, but is NOT in love with him...what should she do?

Well, it's a bit deeper than that. The story is that they have been dating for a few years. He's a great guy and they get along very well. She can tell that he loves her deeply. In fact, her family and friends love the guy as well.

Here's where it gets a little tricky...she said that she loves him, but may NOT be in love with him. And with that said, she's getting a little nervous thinking he's getting ready to propose to her.

Dr. Hamilton had some great advice for this very situation a couple of years ago. It definitely still happens and its a tough situation for both involved.

The family is over the moon with this news and can't wait, but she wants to know how to move forward. She doesn't want to hurt the guy, but doesn't want to get married to a guy she's not in love with.

She also said they are great friends and would like to remain friends. Doubt that happens when she comes clean right?

But the bottom line is, what should she do? Both Mike O'Brian and Carla Rea agreed to come clean and be honest. He might be upset for a bit, but even he deserves better right?

Even the listeners that called in and texted in seemed to agree as well. It's a tough situation to be in and we've probably all been there. On both ends of that type of relationship...it's tough.

A lot of people have a problem with the honestly thing...especially when you know it's going to hurt. In the email she also noted that she didn't want to continue the relationship for just her family.

Hey, we're sure they will all get over it, but listen to the segment from this morning and see how you feel about it!

Everyone knows that Las Vegas can be a fun place to live, but what if you're married. It might be hard to stay married in Las Vegas, but how happy are married couples in the state of Nevada? According to one article put out by Zippia, we're not very happy!

To determined "happiness" the survey considered the following factors:

You factor in all these things to find which state has the happiest people. Now consider the fact that married people tend to be happier to start with.  With all that said, it's sad to say that, despite all the fun we might have to offer in the state of Nevada, we are ranked #34! Even though our "Depression Rate" is a 3, we fall low on scores in the other categories.

You would think that with everything our state offers, we can't be happier? The great outdoors, hiking trails, enjoying the lakes in both Southern and Northern Nevada? Think of all the shows, concerts. It seems like there is always something to do here. On the flipside, that might be the problem as well.

With gambling, being a 24 hour town, it sometimes is difficult to curb the urges with all that Las Vegas has to offer. As we all know, there's no "last call" here in our great state. Sometimes that can be an issue. That alone can be one huge reason as to why being married in this state is tough.

You can be take some solace that we are "happier" than those in the state of Texas, Florida and even in the tiny state of Rhode Island! By the way, the least happiest state...Louisiana! But what  states tend to be the happiest when you're married, you might be surprised. Do yourself a favor, scroll down and see what they are for yourself!

Believe it or not, there is a tie at #5 which gives us two #4's. So with that, we congratulate Hawaii for being one of those states married people are very happy!

Quite the difference in states...tied with Hawaii at #4 is Nebraska! Now when you think of Nebraska you think corn right? Well, maybe think "happy" next time since they seem to have this in common with Hawaii!

Well, well, it seems the married couples in "The Dairy State" have it down. They are more than just cows and cheese...they are happy! Coming in at #3 on the list, it's not all about the Green Bay Packers! Congrats!

Montana is a huge state with not a lot of people. But of those that live there, the ones that are married are quite happy. Cold winters and hot summers make for a good relationship evidently! Congrats to the state of Montana coming in at #2!

Here ya go...the happiest married couples in the country are living in Utah! If you looking for happiness, clearly our neighbors to the north have found the answer! Just like Nevada, they have the great outdoors, the lakes, the scenery. But do they have as much FUN as Nevadans? Can't say, but we do congratulate them on being #1!
