Summary
UNFILTERED: I’m joined by a 40 year old woman who shares the story of how she developed a relationship with an old friend after he became her white knight during her divorce. We hear how they went from being friends (and roommates) to partners, and how their relationship went from happy and healthy to toxic, manipulative, and emotionally abusive. She shares red flags she missed, why she didn’t end it even though she was unhappy, and how they finally parted ways. We hear what has helped her get through the breakup and what she learned from the situation.
