Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Caller’s Update on Previous Relationship

• Recap: The caller previously rang in about a long, frustrating relationship with an emotionally unavailable man. The hosts recall the situation and how earlier advice ("just talk about it") didn’t provide the caller with the clarity she hoped for.
• Resolution: The caller ended the relationship after making him watch a video—possibly their previous segment—which did little to help.
  • Quote:

    "That even after taking, like, the universal advice that we give, which is, like, just talk about it, you didn't get, like, even an inch closer to any closure, any clarity." — Stavi (01:15)

2. Moving On: New Relationship Complications

• New Relationship: Now seeing a new guy; sex is happening but with complications (he can’t orgasm due to medication).
• Red Flags Surface: The caller finds herself needing to pull the truth out of him, showing a pattern of communication issues.
• Vacation Incident: On a getaway, the boyfriend confides about a past sexual experience with another man but is oddly fixated on how he "was on top," indicating insecurity about his sexuality.
  • Quote:

    "So he told me he, like... made it very clear that he's like, oh, but I was on top. And I'm like, I don't really care. But, like, if that's what you need to tell me, it's really funny." — Caller (04:10)

3. Worries About Partner’s Sexuality

• Doubt & Concern: The caller wonders if she is being used as a stepping stone for her partner to explore or clarify his sexuality and worries about being left if he realizes he’s fully gay.
• Hosts Jump In: Both hosts emphasize that it’s perfectly valid to break it off if the "vibes just aren’t right," regardless of sexuality.
  • Quote:

    "You break it off because the vibes just aren't right overall...you should work on kind of only sticking with something if it feels good, like you've made progress and that this person will fuck you. But that doesn't mean it's, like, exactly what you want." — Eldest (07:15)

4. Relationship Patterns and Self-Reflection

• Patterns Identified: The hosts point out that the caller may habitually commit to difficult situations—emotionally unavailable or questioning partners.
  • Quote:

    "Is like, what is it about you that draws these [sad boy, insecure guys] in? ... Maybe you are just like a, almost like a comforting presence where they feel like they can be..." — Eldest (12:05)

• Advice to Broaden Horizons: She is encouraged to avoid falling into monogamy with someone she's unsure about and instead explore dating multiple people.
  • Quote:

    "You need to kind of just explore a little bit because this is better than the last one. But it doesn't seem like it's exactly what you want." — Stavi (18:25)

5. Dealing with Guilt and Ending Things

• Closure is Hard: The caller feels anxious about breaking it off right after her partner was vulnerable, but the hosts assure her that it’s part of dating—and not a reflection of her being "rude" or "homophobic."
  • Quote:

    "You're homophobic if you don't want people to have rights, but you're not homophobic if...for me personally, I don't even know why, maybe it's fucked up, but I just know it's a problem for me, that's okay, too." — Eldest (13:52)

• Direct Recommendation: The hosts break it down to two options: "take it to the next level" (be exclusive and serious), or "move on and date more people."
  • Quote:

    "You need to end this. I think on to the next. You need...to get more plates spinning." — Stavi (17:16)

Advice Summary

• If unsure about the relationship, it's okay to end it rather than stay out of obligation or guilt.
• Being honest and seeking partners with compatible goals matters more than sticking it out for the sake of tradition or comfort.
• Experimentation in dating and stepping outside the pattern of “one complicated guy at a time” can help clarify what you want.
• It's healthy to self-reflect—not just about partners' issues but also about your own recurring relationship patterns.
• Having dealbreakers about partner's past or sexual experience is okay, as long as it doesn’t cross into prejudice or shaming.

This episode offers a raw and often funny look at the nuances of dating, boundaries, and personal growth in relationships—reminding listeners that it’s valid to break away from those who aren’t the right fit and to keep growing until you find what feels right.
