Too many people enter a relationship thinking that they're entitled to something they're not. Send this episode to those people, as Sarah and Adam explain how subversive coercion can be in violating someone's consent, especially when both parties are married or in a relationship. They explore many of the subtle ways that toxic partners use coercion and give you the tools to recognize it in yourself or  your relationship. Also this week: a new caller to the DKS Hotline, Adam goes on a date in Houston, and Sarah prepares for a dry spell.
