It’s a Mailbag Monday and Jared’s here to help two listeners navigate their romantic gray areas!

First, a listener is stuck in a limbo with her ex, who she’s been reconnecting with after their breakup in October 2023. Although they’ve been texting consistently and even got physical a few times, she still doesn’t know where they stand. Jared dives into how she can take control of the situation and have the important conversation to gain clarity without fearing rejection.

Next, another listener writes in about lingering thoughts of a past situationship, even though she’s in a committed relationship and about to get engaged. She still checks his social media and wonders if these thoughts are signs of unresolved closure, or just a harmless curiosity. Jared unpacks what it means when a past relationship resurfaces in your mind, and how to keep your focus on the love you have in the present.

Tune in for advice on tackling those tough conversations and understanding when your past is just a memory—plus how to handle the uncertainty that can come with moving forward.
