Circle of Two: Managing Jealousy and Building Trust in Relationships
In this episode of Dating With Borders, Teresa and Joe dive into the hot topic of "girl code" and how to handle situations where your partner gets hit on right in front of you. Teresa opens up about how, since the beginning of their relationship, there have been several instances where she’s felt that the unspoken rules of girl code have been broken. One memorable experience occurred during a date night at an axe-throwing venue, which she recounts in detail.
Joe shares his perspective, admitting that he sometimes struggles to recognize when someone is hitting on him. This difference in awareness sparked what the couple refers to as their first slight disagreement. They discuss how they navigated that moment and how they’ve learned to approach similar situations in a healthy way.
Teresa and Joe also flip the script, with Joe presenting a hypothetical scenario where the roles are reversed. This leads to a thoughtful conversation on how couples can maintain trust and avoid letting these moments negatively impact their relationship.
The episode wraps up with practical tips for managing jealousy or discomfort in these scenarios. Joe emphasizes the importance of having a "team mentality" and remembering what they call the "circle of two"—the idea that your partnership should always come first.
Join Teresa and Joe for this honest and insightful discussion, filled with relatable moments and helpful advice for navigating tricky relationship dynamics.
