Jared is back with another Mailbag Monday, and this week, we’ve got two tough dilemmas that need his signature blend of honesty and humor!!
First up, a listener is haunted by a friend breakup that feels more like a slow, painful ghosting. After years of deep connection, their friend pulled away when they were struggling with depression, eventually cutting ties while still keeping the door cracked just enough to leave them wondering what went wrong. How do you move on when a once-close friend makes you feel like an afterthought? Jared breaks it down.
Then, we’ve got a relationship curveball: a listener just found out that her long-term boyfriend, who’s been complaining about money and the cost of an engagement ring, had been secretly spending on OnlyFans while they were together. He says she’s overreacting—but is she? Jared weighs in on trust, finances, and what this reveal really means for their relationship.
Hit play for Jared’s unfiltered take on these tricky situations! 🎙️💌
