Oversharing

Dr. Naomi helps Jordana through a moral conundrum: how involved should you get when a romantic set-up goes wrong? Jordana tells us all about the recent U Up? podcast episode featuring a Betches colleague who got set up with Jordana’s friend, and how Jordana had to get involved when things went awry. Then they hear a listener-submitted voicemail about what to do when you’re the go-to friend for emotional support, especially when it becomes draining. Naomi offers some tips and tricks for breaking an emotional pattern. The Betchicist email comes from a listener who is low on funds, but still getting invited to expensive outings with friends. How do you handle the difficult task of asking not to split the bill evenly when you can’t afford it? This week’s intentions are all about feeling more secure in your relationship when your partner says they’re not ready for marriage. Finally, the triggered submissions include a door-holding slight, and a career-choice insult.
