* If your significant other’s friends aren’t loyal to their significant others, what does that make your partner? Birds of a feather flock together?

* Bachelor and bachelorette parties: You are getting married to your partner because you obviously trust them, but something about a last hoorah can even get the loyalist people to do unlikely things. Thoughts?

* Does marriage really change things for couples? You’re great together as a couple, so you take the next step and make it official. Then you have kids and your life isn’t the same anymore. Is it wrong or still taboo to want a life partner and children without making it government official?

* Business trips: If you are dating or married to someone who goes on numerous business trips or vice versa, what can you do to stay connected and really maintain the trust?

Do You Want To Know The Truth About Online Dating? Ever since the TRP team started doing the podcast, Drey has always been the odd one out when it comes to experience(s) in the online dating realm. Ryan and John have tried to keep him up to speed on this new age of dating and it made him even more curious. Drey did some research into the subject to better familiarize himself for future episodes. What he found after just a cursory amount of research was interesting to say the least. Basically, all dating sites are just winging it. It isn’t quite a scam, but it can be perceived as riding the line on being misleading.

* Studies show personalities only accounts for 0.5% of happiness.

* Does this change your view on dating sites?

* Should dating sites be more transparent in their algorithms or intentions?

In this episode, I was going to discuss if flirting is actually infidelity. However, while I was listening to Kevin and Bean this morning, I heard them use the term “Micro-Cheating.” According to Here’s How To Know If You’re Micro-Cheating, “Micro-cheating is the term for small things you do that could have whispers of infidelity–without being physically unfaithful–and can take you into territories you might regret.” My previous topic sounds like it fits into this micro-cheating spectrum. Today, we are going to discuss 10 types of behaviors that count as micro-cheating from What Counts As Micro-Cheating? 10 Behaviors That Cross The Line In A Relationship–And When It’s Considered Infidelity by Lea Rose Emery.

Is Micro-Cheating Actually A Form Of Infidelity? Outline

* Contacting An Ex On Social Media (24%)

* Liking An Old Social Media Post (37%)

* Repeatedly Visiting A Profile (41%)

* Lying About Your Relationship Status On Social Media (54%)

* Keeping An Active Dating Profile (58%)

* Contacting An Ex And Concealing It (62%)

* Having A Deep Emotional Contact With Someone Else (68%)

* Listing Someone By A Fake Name In Your Contacts (75%)

* Sexting Someone Else (83%)
