Phil had strong feelings for his partner. At first, it appeared she did as well. Suddenly, she ended things with him but she insisted they still sleep next to each other. 3 days later she changed her mind. Phil didn't get any answers as to why she was back and forth with him but he was happy not to lose her, and his feelings continued to grow.  Unfortunately, she decided she didn't want to be with him anymore. At the same time, Phil was severely injured in a motorcycle accident. She stayed but things were awkward until the bandaid was ripped off for good.  Please check out the new website www.unbreakmyheartpodcast.com and fill out a listener survey.
