Summary
I’m joined by an anonymous 25-year-old woman who lives in NYC and recently got out of a four-year long-distance relationship. We discuss the pros and cons of long-distance relationships, how we firmly believe that long-distance relationships need an end date, and how being long-distance helped her healing process once they broke up. She shares what has surprised her about dating in NYC, and at the very end of the episode, she tells us one of the most profound things any Unfiltered guest has ever said.

| 0:41.2 | from college. So kind of just navigating, like being in a new city alone, navigating being |
| 0:49.2 | single for the first time in four years, and just getting through the breakup as best as I can. |
| 0:57.7 | I'm glad you're saying getting through it because it really is something you have to go through. |
