Summary
Communication within relationships can be challenging, and it requires constant effort to make it work. At times, expressing your thoughts can be particularly tough, especially when you and your partner aren’t on the same page. In this episode, Alex and Jon discuss listener questions about an open marriage with unexpected consequences, dealing with a husband’s ultimatum, getting caught faking a pregnancy, and how to support your partner’s success while working through your own jealousy. As a bonus, there’s an update from one of our listeners from episode 36!
