This week I talked to Rachel and Griffin! They met ten years ago through work, and instantly their relationship moved fast, with them moving in together just a few months later. They quickly learned that though Rachel does want to get married, Griffin wasn't as keen on the idea. Together they agreed to focus on buying a house first and then talk about getting married. Ten years later, they were able to buy a house together, and they got engaged days later! Though neither of them feels they'll do a big wedding, they are both happy to have stood by their decision to buy a house first.

This week I talk to Pix. Pix and Artie met through work and started hanging out as friends, before it turned into casual dating. Even once their relationship had evolved into serious dating, both Pix and Artie wanted to keep a form of independence by living separately for a few years. They moved in together just before the pandemic hit, throwing their relationship for quite a loop! However this hurdle only strengthened them, and now they're expecting their first child together.

This week I interview Ethan Hulen, from the "True Stories of a Tryhard" podcast to talk about his relationship with his girlfriend Cienna. Though they had known each other for a few years in high school, it wasn't until Cienna was in college and Ethan was in his senior year of high school that they decided to start dating. Their relationship was long distance for almost two years before Ethan joined Cienna at college, allowing their relationship to evolve into a more traditional relationship. 

Hi everyone! It has been a while since a new episode of RSVPod has been out, and I am very sorry about that. However, the podcast is now back! 

This week I talked to Sarah. Sarah and Coleman have been together for 5 years. Initially, Sarah was dating someone else. She entered into a roommate situation with this boyfriend, a friend, and Coleman. After her boyfriend left her, Sarah turned to Coleman for support, but they no longer lived together. A few months later, she realised she loved him. After dating for a while, they agreed to move in together, finding a slight change in dynamics from when they were college roommates. Now they face questions about the future, realising that some plans may change, but facing them together with open and honest communication makes these uncertain times easier.

This week, I interview Ines. Ines has been with her boyfriend Linton for 11 years. They met through Ines's brother, and were part of the same group of friends in school. Though Ines describes herself as a "dreamer" and tends to jump into things, Linton is much more of a planner and takes time before making a decision.

This week, I'm joined by my partner Ben, as we talk about how we have learned, and are still learning, to manage and handle conflict in our relationship.

This week I interview Steph. Steph has been engaged twice in the past, with those relationships both ending due to them not being balanced between the partners. Steph is now with John, who she has known for 12 years. After dating for 2 years, some of which was long distance, the two decided to move in together. After her previous two engagements ended, Steph has reframed how she views commitment and what she views as important.

This week I interview Max and Lorna Holmes on site at the Bolton Clarke aged care facility centre. Max and Lorna take us through their story, which begins when they were 16 years old. They were forced to go long distance when Max joined the Navy. They had a small, simple wedding, with only close family and friends present. This year, Max and Lorna both turned 100 years old, and celebrate 77 years of marriage.
