Welcome to Just Break Up, the podcast about love, heartbreak, and all the relationship

advice you don't want to hear.

My name is Sierra de Mulder.

And I'm Sam Blackwell.

Today we're going to answer a letter from somebody whose partner is uncompromising

about his holiday plans. But before we begin, we just want to give you our Surgeon General's

warning, which is that Sierra and I are not licensed mental health practitioners or relationship people. We didn't go to school. We just

we just made this up. We didn't go to school for this so we are not accredited we are not

professionals in any way whatsoever. So please take our advice as you

see fit as a supplement to the rest of your mental health, you know, whatever's

going on. We're just here to offer our humble musings to hopefully shed

some understanding and maybe some laughs about the incredibly rewarding but

mostly confusing experience that is love.

All right, so today's check and topic is inspired by a letter from one of our wonderful

listeners. Basically, she was explaining to us how she's been with somebody, she's been with her partner for almost three years and in the past six

months she's seen a rapid decline in his hygiene specifically brushing his teeth.

And he just like doesn't brush his teeth

and she's over here like, oh my God, this is gross,

it causes heart disease, yada, yada.

And, you know, also important, the fact that she is having a hard time

feeling attracted to him

during this time.
