The "Alternative Search" TRAP Explained

This person bought an engagement ring, checked all the healthy relationship boxes, and still aren't sure they want to get married. Why? Because they're trapped in what research calls "alternative search" — always wondering if something better is out there. In this episode, we'll break down a Reddit story about someone who would leave their significant other if they knew a better relationship existed, and what the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships reveals about how constantly searching for "better" can destroy the good in the relationship you're in. This episode is for you if you're engaged and wondering if you should feel more excited, if your relationship looks perfect on paper but doesn't feel like the movies, or if you secretly compare your relationship to everyone else's highlight reel. 🔽 Download The Comparison Detox Guide for FREE Here: https://blissfullyhitched.com/compari... 🎯 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The Reddit Story Preview 01:14 - Don't Suppress Your Feelings 02:52 - Self-Awareness is Necessary 05:35 - What the Reddit Comments Said 06:28 - Comparing & Chasing 08:07 - The Research on "Choosing the Best" vs "Alternative Search" 09:24 - At Some Point, You Have to... 12:05 - How You Can Detox from Relationship Comparison 🖥️ Original Reddit Post:   / i_30m_bought_a_ring_but_im_not_excited_to_get   RESEARCH MENTIONED 📚 Development of the Revised Relational Maximization Scale and explorations of how relational maximization relates to personal and relational outcomes: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1... 🌎GET CONNECTED Email: hello@blissfullyhitched.com TikTok:   / the.engagement.edit   Instagram:   / the.engagement.edit   🎧 Music: Whiskey Ginger by Dylan Sitts The Engagement Edit Podcast features deep-dives into engagement stories and turns them into relationship lessons you can learn from.
