What happens when boundaries cross into control? When does a marriage become just two people sharing a house? In this gripping episode of The Talking Phase, we dive deep into two heart-wrenching stories that challenge our understanding of modern relationships. Can a marriage survive separate bedrooms and dating apps? Should you trust your partner's friendships with their exes?
Join hosts Tom and Pam as they tackle a devastating email from a newly married woman whose husband seems completely checked out - sleeping in separate rooms, eating alone, and even suggesting she get on dating apps. The hosts draw from their own experiences with rejection and disconnection to offer candid advice about when it's time to walk away.
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as they explore another listener's struggle with setting boundaries around their girlfriend's relationships with ex-partners and former love interests. Through personal stories, including Tom's experience with his sister's engagement and Pam's ongoing friendships with exes, they examine the delicate balance between trust and reasonable boundaries.
Between discussions of toxic relationships and healthy boundaries, the hosts share updates about their lives, including Pam's evolving empty nest experience and Tom's introduction of a new partner to his children. They also introduce "NICK" - an acronym for the four relationship killers that signal the end of any marriage.
In this raw and honest episode, Tom and Pam demonstrate why The Talking Phase has become a trusted source for relationship advice, offering both tough love and compassionate understanding to listeners facing difficult relationship decisions.
