Summary
Long-distance love can be beautiful . . . or it can slowly drive you insane. In this week’s Love Life Podcast episode, we talk about how to know the difference.
Are you in something real, or just filling a void? We’ll unpack what makes distance work: from actually planning to see each other to noticing when communication starts feeling one-sided. You’ll learn the signs your relationship is moving forward with real intention vs. when you’re being kept around for comfort or convenience.
You’ll also hear from a caller on setting boundaries without feeling needy, plus a hilarious round of “Steve’s Sleeves” on what’s essential, nice to have, or totally unhinged in long-distance love.
