The Dating Autopsy

Just when I thought the chaos couldn't get any worse, things took a much darker turn. What started as a wild dating story became a complicated mix of emotional turmoil, serious mental health concerns, and situations I never imagined navigating in a relationship.

This episode goes beyond the red flags to explore the difference between supporting someone through a crisis and sacrificing your own well-being in the process.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses mental health crises, psychiatric hospitalization, and emotionally distressing situations. Listener discretion is advised.

The Chaos Cowboy 🤠🚩 | Part 1

A cowboy hat, American flag overalls, and a guy willing to drive two hours for a first date. What could possibly go wrong?

What started as an exciting romance with instant chemistry, deep conversations, and grand gestures quickly turned into something I never saw coming. From love bombing and questionable boundaries to a night that ended in the emergency room, this relationship taught me just how easily compassion can turn into making excuses for someone.

In Part 1 of The Chaos Cowboy, we're unpacking the difference between emotional vulnerability and emotional intimacy, the red flags I overlooked, and what happens when you start falling for someone's potential instead of who they actually are.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including depression, suicidal ideation, mental health hospitalization, alcohol misuse, and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Please listen with care.

Apparently men have “animal instincts”… and women just need to watch more "adult films" to understand them. 🫠

Yes, this was an actual conversation I had with an actual man.

This week on Dating Autopsy, we’re unpacking one of the more unhinged dating philosophies I’ve encountered...and trust me, the explanation only gets worse. 💀

🎙️ New episode out now.

Would you have stayed for the rest of this conversation or immediately called it? 😂

He forgot his wallet on the first date.

Unfortunately, that was one of the more normal parts of the conversation.

This week on Dating Autopsy, we’re dissecting Daddy’s Boy — a coffee date that somehow included wildly unnecessary disclosures, questionable comments, several moments that made me wonder if I was being punked, and a grown man calling his dad to bring him his wallet.

And somehow… the wallet wasn’t even the biggest red flag.

What started as a casual coffee date quickly turned into the kind of conversation where every new piece of information raises three additional questions.

Was I on a date?
Was I conducting an intake evaluation?
Should I have been taking notes?

We’re breaking down the ridiculous conversations, the red flags that kept casually entering the chat, and those first-date moments you don’t fully process until you’re driving home thinking, “Wait… WHAT did he just tell me?”

🎙️ Dating Autopsy — because you can’t make this sh*t up.

Come for the dating story. Stay for the psychological debrief.

He said he had no red flags.

Turns out… he had a felony conviction. 🚩

This week on Dating Autopsy, I’m breaking down a date that started out surprisingly normal and ended with me discovering a pretty major detail he conveniently forgot to mention.

And when I confronted him? Apparently, leaving that information out didn’t count as being dishonest. Interesting take. 😂

We’re talking red flags, lying by omission, trusting your gut, and why honesty matters—even when the truth probably isn’t going to get you a second date.

Because sometimes dating is a learning experience… and sometimes you truly can’t make this sh*t up.
