Summary
Vanessa has been faithfully holding onto her old love letters. Her friend Sejal, however, has decided to burn her own memorabilia and never look back. Which one is right?
This week on Hot & Bothered, we explore the trope “Reunited Lovers.” Sejal has made peace with her past and seeks a vicarious happy ending for two fictional former flames. Vanessa, on the other hand, is forced to confront the reality of a former toxic lover and what it means to doctor the evidence of her romantic history.
Along the way, Rev. Dr. Matthew Potts weighs-in on how much of forgiveness is forgetting, and we get our next writing assignment from #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Bridgerton , Julia Quinn.
Follow along on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and send us your romance advice questions for future episodes to hotandbotheredrompod@gmail.com.
Next week: More love advice and a conversation with mind-blowing sex educator and NYT best-selling author, Emily Nagoski.

| 0:07.0 | There are two kinds of people in the world, people who keep their old love letters and people who don't. |
| 0:17.0 | I'm a keeper. I have every postcard, ticket stub, and little note that I've cherished in a bunch of old shoeboxes. |

| 0:54.0 | Cute, right? I have looked for this love letter in my many boxes of memorabilia. |
| 1:00.0 | I can't find it. For a while that really bothered me. Now I suspect that having the |

| 1:27.0 | That even though I had curly frizzy hair that my sixth grade math teacher teased me about |
| 1:32.0 | and people always told me how cute I'd be if I just |
