Ditch The Scripts wraps up the final episode of the Love Island UK (Season 8) and the reunion!! You already know we had a lot to say about the results of the finale and how we feel the votes cast reflect our views of relationships in society. We have a long way to go people! But that's why we make this podcast, we have always set out to peel back the narratives we're fed to get clarity on how this hurts us rather than helping us. ANYWHOOZERS. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the difference between passion felt with a toxic partner and secure, hot, connection with someone whom you can trust. Spoiler alert, they feel VERY different and we help explain why. Finally, we get into platonic relationships outside of a romantic relationship and the age old question, "can men and women be friends?". Can we sustain, and even allow to grow, deep platonic friendships with people we may be attracted to? The answer is yes but not without boundaries. Ditch The Script discuss more how to facilitate those boundaries and navigating this while in a relationship who may struggle to feel safe about your platonic and hot bestie.
