Dear Clementine

Navigating Dating Apps, Misogynistic Fathers & One-Sided Friendships


Listen Later

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse.

One-sided friendships, navigating the new world of modern dating & pulling up your aging parents on their misogynistic views.

This week in the inbox: 

  • I’m at an age where a lot of my friends are in long term relationships and I’m starting to feel increasingly detached from them as they move forward with their new lives. I struggle with these apps and dating as I feel like a commodity to try out for most people. I would like to know your thoughts on navigating the dating landscape in hopes it is helpful to me and others.
  • My father is now in his mid seventies and voicing his misogynistic thoughts and views more than ever before. Particularly around women being deserving of rape if they dress or behave a certain way. I was raped in my early 20s and other than my therapist, no-one in my family or friend circle knows about it. Is there a way that I can talk to him about this, or is he now of an age where he is set in this viewpoint? 
  • I have a best friend of over 10 years who never invites me out. Any time that we get together, it's because I've initiated and organised it. It's really starting to bother me and I'm afraid I'll start to resent her. Am I just being insecure? Should I ask her why she never tries to organise anything with me?
