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.

And today we're going to answer a letter from somebody who is wondering if her

deal breakers should be deal breakers. 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. No, we not professionals we are barely scraping by

ourselves and these are just our opinions so please take our humble wait where am I going

with this all our advice as you see fit?

Yeah, there we are.

We are barely screaming ourselves.

So please take our advice as you see fit.

We're only here to offer our humble museums to hopefully shed some

understanding and maybe some advice, nope, and maybe some laughs about the incredibly

rewarding but mostly confusing experience that is love. How many times have I said that intro and I just

like fumbled it 400 times? It's fine. We're not professionals you know? No, yeah.

All right so before we dive into today's letter, it's Monday, so we're going to do a quick check-in topic that is also

inspired by a letter writer whose name is Eternally Fucked, who is writing to us from their own private island whose

pronounce are she her and they write okay this might be more of a

check-in topic but my question is how do I stop being so awkward around people I like in more than just a

friends kind of way?
