The Holidays and New Relationships: Tips, Theories, and Family Introductions
In this episode of Dating with Borders, Teresa and Joe dive into the complexities of the holiday season and its impact on relationships. Joe kicks off the conversation by sharing his opinion that holidays can often act as "relationship killers," and he doesn't hold back in revealing which ones top his list. The discussion then takes a festive turn as they debate whether Christmas gatherings are the right setting to introduce a significant other to the family.
This sparks a lively conversation about how to determine the "right time" for such introductions—whether it’s based on a gut feeling, a specific milestone in the relationship, or simply the stage you’ve reached as a couple. Teresa doesn’t let Joe off the hook, putting him in the hot seat to reflect on his expectations versus the reality of meeting her family for the first time.
Joe also shares an amusing theory about the significance of a New Year's kiss, which leads to a broader conversation about navigating holidays in a new relationship. From gift-giving dilemmas to practical tips for surviving the season, Teresa and Joe offer heartfelt advice for couples in similar situations.
