In another solo ep, Deondre' and Isabel discuss whether it is healthy to expect reciprocity in a romantic relationship. Reciprocity is often touted as the hallmark of a healthy relationship, but how do you aspire to something that is so hard to quantify, especially when different people value everything differently? How much should doing the dishes when you don't want to count vs. calling your partner when they are on a trip? How should the calculation change when you don't mind doing dishes? Obviously it is impossible to quantify these things but we go deeper into whether even aspiring to equality in a relationship is healthy vs. assigning specific roles to each person.
