As Sarah and Kaley always say, dating is a skill. And like any skill, it takes practice to improve. Thanks to COVID, we're taking a break from dating IRL, and that means we'll be rusty when we return. So how do you get back on the proverbial horse when society opens up again? The co-hosts discuss how to get rid of rustiness in your dating life.

What does it mean to be frozen in time? We are three weeks into self isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic with no end in sight for the next few months.

Couples who were doing fertility treatments put their timelines on hold. What about individuals who just started dating and had to stop dating because of isolation?

Sarah and Kaley recorded this episode before the COVID-19 pandemic hit but we felt the shift in the universe. Weird relationship betrayals look different to every couple, but they matter and they're definitely real. Can you eat the last piece of cheesecake without consulting your partner? If your partner is away on vacation do you watch an episode without them, or do you wait for them to return? As we are all forced by the divine nature of the universe (and our government) to spend time at home, relationship betrayals may pop by up even more than usual. If you're co-isolating with your partner, away from your partner or single and reflecting on potential relationship betrayals, this episode is for you!
