Love it, but there’s one huge issue
Paul has a way of delivering solid advice in a soothing, reassuring tone, and I appreciate how relatable he is, as he shares a lot from his own experiences. I feel like I could gain and have gained a lot of valuable insight from this podcast series. I did however have to stop listening for a while because every episode is framed in the context of a romantic relationship, even the episodes that do not advertise themselves as such. This is an area I struggle in, and as a single adult in our society I already feel marginalized and invisible, so any benefit I could receive from Paul’s podcasts are immediately negated when he starts talking about how your issue affect your spouse, partner, etc. and vice versa, and he delivers all his advice in a way that suggests we are all dating, partnered, or married. There are many people, myself included, that are not seeking to repair or maintain romantic relationships, just our own behaviors and emotions. We have relationships with family, friends, coworkers, pets, even the corner bodega guy to worry about, and not always wives, husbands, children, domestic partners, etc. This also does a disservice to those who don’t desire or plan to be part of a romantic partnership, an important example being those who are asexual, aromantic, or simply not interested in romantic partnership. I’d like to see a little more inclusivity towards those whose lifestyles deviate from the norm, whether by choice or not.
