Life After I Do Podcast

Not every relationship issue is toxic—but not everything is just a “rough patch,” either. In this episode, we talk about the line between flaws and real harm, and how to tell the difference.

We share moments from our own relationship where we had to confront things that weren’t working—from communication breakdowns to the postpartum season when we honestly didn’t like each other much. The difference is, we chose growth instead of blame.

We also answer questions from our listeners about blended families and how to handle in-laws who test your patience without wrecking your peace.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this normal, or is this toxic?”—this one’s for you.

We’re diving into boundaries in a big way this week—across marriage, money, and personal decisions.

In this installment of Our 2 Cents, we break down a honeymoon surprise gone wrong, financial tension in a single-income household, and whether lending inheritance money to family is ever a good idea. Plus, we open up an honest conversation about birth control and the role your partner should (or shouldn’t) play in decisions about your body.

This episode also marks a major moment for us—10,000 downloads! We’re so grateful for the love and support, and we talk a bit about what’s been going on with us personally, too.

From disagreements to eye-openers, this one’s packed with perspectives you don’t want to miss.

We made it to 100 episodes—and we’re going all in on this one. From family updates to jaw-dropping relationship dilemmas, this episode brings the same energy, humor, and honesty you’ve come to expect from Life After I Do.

We share the joys (and growing pains) of raising an 8-year-old, then dive into relationship stories that had us pausing mid-convo. Think: late-night secret calls, a surprising family twist on OnlyFans, and a 20-year-old bringing home a man twice her age.

The age-gap discussion? Let’s just say we didn’t hold back. Some things bring out the protective parent in us real quick.

We also take time to shout out some of the funniest listener comments that have kept us cracking up behind the scenes.

Thanks for riding with us. Here’s to the next 100!

We’re talking about the balance between “we” and “me”—how to stay connected in your relationship while still honoring who you are as an individual.

From feeling guilty about personal time to wondering if you’re allowed to grow in ways your partner isn’t ready for, we get real about the silent struggles of identity in long-term love.

We’ve been there, and we’ve learned that prioritizing yourself doesn’t mean you’re selfish—it means you’re showing up whole.

If you’ve been feeling lost in the day-to-day, this episode might help you find your way back to you.

This week, we’re talking about responsible love—the kind that shows up, adapts, and puts in effort even when it’s inconvenient.

We unpack the emotional labor of being present when life is overwhelming, how love needs to evolve as we grow, and why it’s important not to lose yourself while showing up for someone else.

From managing work-home balance to honoring small promises, we keep it honest about what makes love last.

If you’ve ever felt burnt out in your relationship, or like you're giving more than you’re getting, this episode is full of perspective and real-life insight.

This Our 2 Cents installment is all about what happens when boundaries get crossed by the people closest to us. We talk about entitlement in relationships, partners failing to step up, and the responsibility couples have to protect and prioritize each other.

From a mother-in-law taking over the kitchen to a boyfriend gifting his girlfriend’s dream dress to his mom, we unpack real stories that leave you shaking your head. Moelethal delivers a powerful moment on why men need to hold their wives in the highest regard, while we also share some laughs about Nesha G’s big fitness achievements—and her refusal to haul in those Costco groceries.

It’s real talk, relatable stories, and a reminder of why boundaries matter so much in relationships.

We’re talking about what separates basic relationship stuff from true effort. It all kicks off with a story about football tickets gone wrong, and turns into a deeper convo about expectations, emotional support, and everyday relationship habits.

We play a quick game where we call out the difference between “bare minimum” and what we’d call king or queen treatment—and let’s just say we don’t always agree.

Plus, we weigh in on two stories that had us shook. One’s about setting boundaries with family, and the other takes a wild turn at a swingers club.

It’s one of those episodes that’s honest, funny, and probably a little too relatable.

How well do you really know your partner? In this fun and revealing episode, we put our relationship knowledge to the test with the “How Well Do You Know Me?” game—uncovering surprising details even after years together.

We share stories from our recent family camping trip, Moelethal’s fitness journey, and our childhood food memories that shaped us. From sleeping habits and love languages to secret dream cars, this episode proves there’s always more to learn about the person you love.

We also tackle tough questions about privacy with exes when co-parenting and navigating attention-seeking behavior in family.

Double-tapping into digital infidelity? In this episode, we go deep on one of the hottest topics in modern relationships: social media boundaries.

When is liking a photo harmless, and when is it crossing the line? We unpack why these small online actions can spark big real-life conflicts—from territorial behavior to unspoken invitations.

We share raw, unfiltered takes on intention versus perception, why respecting your partner’s comfort matters, and how to navigate tricky online interactions in marriage.

Plus, our “Our 2 Cents” segment on workplace gossip and roommate privacy makes you question: where do you draw your digital lines?

Entitlement can ruin even the strongest relationships. In this episode of Our 2 Cents, we talk about real-life scenarios where people cross the line with unreasonable demands—from the mother who won’t allow her ex’s new wife to homeschool her kids, to the guest who sleeps all day but expects custom breakfasts.

We unpack why boundaries matter, how to spot when kindness is being exploited, and why sometimes saying "no" is the most loving choice you can make.

Don’t miss this conversation about respect, boundaries, and standing firm against entitled behavior.
