Episode 23: Why Set Boundaries When You Can Just Ignore the Obvious?!


Listen Later

Is it actually possible to just "fall out of love" with someone who hasn't done anything wrong? And why do we ignore relationship red flags even when they're staring us right in the face? In this gripping episode of The Talking Phase, we dive deep into the psychology of love, loss, and those rose-colored glasses we all seem to wear when we're attracted to someone new.Hosts Tom and Pam unpack a viral TikTok analysis of the Netflix show "Nobody Wants This," exploring how media romanticizes relationships that maybe shouldn't work out. Through their candid discussion, they reveal personal experiences of overlooking red flags and the dangerous territory of compromising on deal-breakers just to maintain a relationship.The conversation takes an emotional turn when they address a heartbreaking letter from a wife who's fallen out of love with her seemingly perfect husband of 16 years. Should she stay for the kids? Try to rekindle the spark on their upcoming European vacation? Or is she, as Tom suspects, already thinking of someone else? The hosts offer surprisingly different perspectives on this all-too-common situation.Between Pam's nomination for a "Fab Over 40" magazine cover and Tom's upcoming cross-country move, the hosts weave their personal experiences into a broader discussion about relationship compromises, deal-breakers, and the importance of having standards. Tom defends his famous "relationship list" while Pam advocates for a more flexible approach to love.Join us for this can't-miss episode filled with raw honesty, practical relationship advice, and the kind of authentic conversation you can only get from The Talking Phase podcast. Whether you're single, dating, or married, this episode will make you question everything you thought you knew about love, compatibility, and those pesky red flags we all try to ignore.
