Summary

TW: Mention of verbal abuse & body shaming. We’re joined by an FMH listener this week for a Storytime about his journey through a bad marriage and into the dating journey that followed his divorce. He takes us through all the lessons he’s learned along the way (and some intense stories) as he worked on himself to lead to his current, healthy partnership (and new baby!).

In Updates, Erica recaps her long-awaited first date with The Roommate and reflects on how her upcoming travel could impact their connection. Ali is excited to have Skyline on the Patreon for the first time, but is dealing with some medical issues.

Don’t forget we’d love to meet you live in NYC on Saturday, February 22nd! Tickets at findingmrheight.com/live.

Timestamps: Justin joins us at around minute 25.
