Question
Firstly, you guys are the best and I’m addicted. Second, I live outside the States so I can’t call in. But I do have a question. I’m dating someone long distance. We met through online dating and have been talking almost two months. I thought at first that the lack of her questions about my past relationships and past trauma was out of politeness but now I frankly can’t figure out how interested she actually is in me. We talk daily but sometimes we get stuck in crazy shallow conversations, like “do you prefer pie or cake?” Don’t get me wrong , it’s a great question, but I sort of want to be KNOWN, ya know? I’ll ask her questions about her exes, because obviously I listen to this podcast and I think Jeff has made some great points on his IG videos about this. She always answers and I always tell her she can tell me if I’m being nosy, but it’s sort of like we’re playing catch and I’m the only one tossing the ball? I should make clear, she’s said many times how interested she is in me. She says “I adore you” and wants me to spend the summer with her. She talks long term with me and says she’s so excited to have a partner who’s in therapy and who seems grounded. She says the one thing about her past is that she always was in relationships where the other person didn’t want to support her, where she did all the support. I can’t figure out how much of a red flag it should be to me that she doesn’t seem inquisitive. We’re in different time zones and sometimes she remembers to ask me how my day was, but frankly sometimes she doesn’t and I just ask her how her day was and we talk about that. I should be clear that sometimes I do drop info unsolicited, and she’s actually changed the subject in the past. Sometimes she acknowledged what I say, but usually we don’t stay in that space and the conversation gets turned around to being about her pretty fast. Is this a done deal?

My therapist sent me an episode when I was recently going through a breakup. Now I’m hooked. Love Julie and Gina! Definitely going to send in some questions! Looking forward to the Q&A!

As a therapist who sees couples I’ve found that the topics discussed in the podcast are very relatable and validating. I’ve been recommending it as “homework” for clients who are trying to work on their sexual relationship. The only suggestion I have is to try to reduce the “active listening...Read full review »
