TSR Ep 8: The Functioning Alcoholic, The Group Chat from Hell, & He Didn't Clear the Cache


Listen Later

In this episode of The Snitchuation Room, Rachel and Brandon tackle three deeply relatable—and wildly uncomfortable—relationship dilemmas.First, a listener is grappling with how to support a best friend who is a functioning alcoholic without blowing up the friendship. Is honesty an act of love, or does it risk doing more harm than good?Next, things get messy when a partner accidentally stumbles into a group chat where they’re the topic of conversation—and the jokes cross a line. Is the betrayal worse than the boundary violation, and can trust survive knowing how your partner talks about you behind your back?And finally, a listener spirals after discovering their partner’s porn habits—specifically the very curated kind. What happens when your “cool girl” persona collides with very real insecurities, unspoken boundaries, and comparison hell?From addiction and emotional safety to privacy, porn, and honesty in long-term relationships, this episode goes deep. As always, we’re offering unlicensed opinions—but very real talk.Submit your own snitchuations at popsnitch.com or thesnitchuationroom.com.Chapters:
