This week on Too Much, Emma asks the question we’re all thinking but somehow still tolerating: when did basic human decency become “relationship goals”? Since when are we handing out gold medals because someone texted back, planned a date, or remembered we exist for longer than 12 hours?

From receiving the bare minimum and emotional unavailability to “cool girl” conditioning and the psychological addiction of intermittent reinforcement, Emma goes down the rabbit hole on why people today are getting confusion and chemistry so twisted. And after finding herself recently (almost) accepting the bottom of the barrel she preaches against, she gets brutally honest about what it actually looks like to walk away from someone you care about when they can’t meet your needs.

This episode is unhinged, slightly pissed off, deeply self-aware, and probably the wake-up call half of us need. Because relationships are supposed to feel nourishing — not like a full-time forensic investigation. The bar isn’t low anymore. It’s in f*cking hell.
