Better Half with Stas & Vic

We watched Wuthering Heights… and it emotionally destroyed us.

What started as a casual movie night quickly turned into a spiral about heartbreak, toxic love, and abandonment. Stas and Vic unpack the movie, the red flags we ignore when we’re in love, and why some relationships feel like they ruin you in the best and worst ways.

They talk past relationships, breakup grief, and whether soulmates are real - or just really intense trauma bonds.
