It’s time for another Q&A!

Today’s episode is our monthly Q&A, featuring questions from our amazing listeners and Patreon supporters! The questions we’re diving into today are:

1. “After doing the podcast all these years, how do you find you use the tools that are now in the book in your non-romantic relationships? Like was it easier to communicate and navigate issues with your editor? Do you find yourself using the tools with relatives, like checking which kind of response the person is looking for?”

2. “How do you have open and honest conversations about expectations, boundaries, and emotional attachments with friends or anyone you have close non-romantic/sexual relationships with when a wider culture only assumes that these conversations are the sole remit of romantic/sexual relationships? ”

3. “How do you deal with feeling undesirable because it feels like every piece of mainstream romance media is telling you that someone like your partner would rather be with someone of a different gender/presentation/appearance, and on top of that, they have other partner(s) who are more similar to that?”

4. “Have any of you experienced having multiple breakups or de-escalations and found yourself on the other side with little or no desire to connect with someone new?”

5. “What should you be mindful of as a hinge when starting a new relationship and how can you make sure existing partners feel nurtured and reassured?”
