Summary

Does love at first sight really exist? And what’s the difference between love and limerence? Jordana and Dr. Naomi start the show with a conversation about the concept of limerence and why romantic obsession doesn’t always lead to lasting love. Then an emailer writes in to ask how to address changing your pronouns when you’re in a committed relationship. How do you deal with a partner who isn’t comfortable with the idea of change? This week’s Betchicist question comes from a listener whose fiancé comments on other women’s bodies, despite requests to stop. Is it okay to regulate someone’s commentary, even if it’s a reflection of their own disordered thoughts? The intention-setting moment of the week is all about dwelling on everything you say and do at work, for fear of how you’re perceived. Is there a good way to let go of these anxious feelings? Finally, they answer a pair of Triggered submissions about a noisy cat and a poorly-timed pregnancy announcement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
