Can you have a healthy, long-term relationship without ever living together?

This week on Love-ly, Mehak sits down with her best friend, Waleed, for a
vulnerable, hilarious, and thought-provoking conversation that flips
traditional relationship norms on their head. From TD Bank interview
shenanigans to deep reflections on immigrant identity, generational trauma, and personal healing, this episode dives into why space might just be the secret to sustainability. Waleed shares his unconventional but heartfelt take on why separate homes could lead to stronger love. Mehak opens up about her evolving ideas on intimacy, safety, and dating after a lifetime of being told what not to do.

If you've ever questioned marriage, cohabitation, or what "doing it

right" even means in modern relationships—this one's for you.
