On today’s show, we dive into one of the toughest challenges couples face: being in a relationship where the family just doesn’t approve of you. Mario and Pat discuss what it feels like to be caught in the middle of love and family tension, the pressure it creates on both partners, and how to navigate the balance between loyalty to your significant other and keeping peace with their family.

This episode is about those moments when acceptance isn’t guaranteed when one person is embraced while the other feels like an outsider. We’ll break down the emotional toll, strategies for coping, and ways couples can stay strong even when family dynamics get messy.
