Doing Your Own Thing—Maybe Too Much

Totally Unqualified

Is there such a thing as being too independent in a relationship? In this episode, we unpack the line between healthy autonomy and emotional avoidance. Doing your own thing? Great. But how often—and at what cost? We talk about how independence can be empowering… and when it might just be a way to avoid intimacy. We also get into the challenges of dating someone with totally different political views (maybe that used to work, but these days…maybe not), and share our strong feelings about why bars and restaurants need to chill with the craft cocktail obsession.
