DeepSummary
The podcast episode starts with the hosts discussing a difficult anonymous question from a listener who has been in an emotionally and verbally abusive marriage for 15 years following the tragic loss of their baby. Despite her husband's recent change in behavior, she feels disconnected from him and is struggling with the decision to leave the marriage due to guilt and fear of hurting him. The hosts provide compassionate advice, encouraging the listener to seek counseling for herself and prioritize her own well-being.
Another listener seeks advice about her 21-year-old boyfriend of two years, with whom she is moving in and expects a proposal soon. However, she has been having thoughts about other men and is unsure if she is ready for marriage. The hosts advise her to take time for self-discovery and not rush into a commitment she is unsure about, reminding her that she is still young.
The episode also covers a listener's concern about her boyfriend never paying for anything in their relationship, despite having a good job. The hosts strongly suggest that this behavior is a red flag and advise her to have an open conversation or consider leaving the relationship if he is unwilling to change.
