Hello Everyone! We open this week's show with a discussion on our appearance on the wonderful podcast, Life on the Swingset. You can hear us talk about ethical non-monogamy in the fandom on Episode 317 BY CLICKING HERE or by visiting their website, lifeontheswingset.com.  We also talk about why loving someone else isn't always enough to make love happen. We go over why unrequited love can often feel so strong and certain yet it goes absolutely nowhere.  Our main topic is on how to maintain independence in a relationship. We talk about why it's important to do so, what happens when you become codependent, and ways to practice independent living. We close out the show with a question of mismatched motivation drives in a relationship. Is this a relationship killer, or can this be overcome? For more information, including a list of topics, see our Show Notes for this episode.  Thanks and, as always, be well!
