Dear Damona: Friends with Exes & Chemistry Cooler


Listen Later

Damona dedicates this week’s episode to YOU! Whether you’re in a relationship or looking for love, she is answering your toughest Dear Damona questions, like:


  • I feel like my partner isn’t matching my efforts. How can I get him to be more of a caretaker?
  • I want to stay friends with my exes but I find it incredibly painful. Am I self sabotaging?
  • I thought we had fun but they said they didn’t feel chemistry…what went wrong?
  • An ex once said my lack of questions was a red flag, but I think it's a difference in communication styles. What do you think?
