Leah Woolfolk & Chris Dahlan: Broke Up

Chris—who is 15 years younger than Leah—decided to walk away after feeling suffocated by her always wanting to spend time with him.  

“We’ve talked about our differences, and we laid out what we want out of a partner from day one. I think we both want to have a family. I think we both want to settle down. I think maybe we want it at different paces,” he explained. “I do think that the age difference did cause an unnecessary pressure on both of us and put us in a situation where I, for the first time in my life, I felt like it was hard for me to be myself.”

As he put it, “That’s why ultimately, I feel that this partnership is not right.”

So, how did Leah react to the breakup? 

“I’ve always want to be chosen, but I wasn’t going to beg someone to choose me. I also can’t turn a boy into a man either,” she said in a confessional. “I was hoping to find my love here at the retreat, but I didn’t. Overall, I think I’ve just learned who I am, and I’m a very strong, intelligent, beautiful woman and my future partner will be happy to be with me.”
