 Love is a heartwarming and heartbreaking series on Netflix by Judd Apatow and it is a story about a little nerdy kind of awkward guy named Gus and he's been dealing with bad relationships and he runs into a woman by the name of Mickey. She's not only an alcoholic but she's a sex and love addict and by pure chance or maybe even fate they happen 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 make sure you go watch this series if you haven't yet because there's a lot of good stuff that we can learn about our mental health. What is up everybody this is Chris from The Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and in this video I'm going to do my season three review of Love on Netflix so if you're new here my channel is all about mental health I'm here to help you with your mental health and to help you not get into toxic relationships and that is a lot of what's gonna be going on in this video okay 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 and recovery so any of you out there who are not addicts or alcoholics and 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 happened 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 and recovery this show is literally why you don't get into a relationship your first year of recovery okay but anyways let's jump into this thing like as I was watching season three of love I was sitting there just watching this stuff and 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 sitting there and just asking myself like why am I so fascinated by this show why have I watched it you know religiously since 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 when 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 one two and three okay 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 has that how has that worked out for you in the past not so well I'm guessing right but also like with Mickey's character as we're covering alcohol like it's crazy to me because you know she mentions when they get into the relationship in season two 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 a and stuff like that like 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 Mickey 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 I 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 in 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 to Gus you know and they didn't show it as much it only showed Mickey at 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 too and they didn't really like dive deep into it when they met Gus's 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 addict or 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 of this show it's absolutely amazing like I work at a rehab for those of you don't know and I really want my clients to watch this show because the biggest suggestion is don't get a relationship the first year and probably 95 to 100% 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 and 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 no 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 where they dated an addict or an alcoholic and it was awful and they were just showing that truth but 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 bad bad relationship looks like but anyways so you get my point let's take a 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'm don't think it's a one of your best this next tweet comes from Liz almighty sorry this might be a spoiler but oh my god I just cried for a whole minute because legit Gus and Mickey got married also because when I'm married I'm effing eloping effer reception and people okay so at first I thought this was 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 anyways 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 it ended 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 how that last season last episode played out with the friends chiming in I'm like are you sure about this you know and bringing up all the issues they've had and they're like now we're perfect now we're perfect like talk about the denial all right but let's read this last week from sebi 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 sebi 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 sit Nancy were this adorable couple like 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 five and six of this I guarantee I want 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 soulmate because they are so broken and messed up okay but anyways
