Summary

On today’s episode, I sit down with Timothy Goodman, artist and author of “I Always Think It’s Forever.” We discuss why shorter relationships burn more, why he is a recovering misogynist, how he was set up with his girlfriend, what it was like dating his friend for 40 days, why guys in their 20s let us down, people’s assumptions on long term couples who aren’t engaged, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss outdated dating tropes and traditions.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to Wee Minerakmi. I'm so excited for today's episode with Timothy.
0:11.6	I thought he was really interesting and had a lot of
0:15.6	great things to say. I also love the male perspective. I know you guys like to hear from guys too.
0:21.6	So I think you're going to enjoy a lot of the wisdom that he shares and make sure to get his book.
0:27.3	The link will be in the show notes. Before we get into that, a follower wrote in an amazing idea
0:35.2	for this solo before the episode. It really just trumped all the other questions that came in
0:42.5	because it was so good. I really liked it. She said that she had listened to the episode about
0:48.5	the rules revisited with that annoying guy. She thought it would be cool to hear my thoughts on
0:55.6	dating tropes and traditions that are outdated. For example, I now pronounce you man and wife
1:03.1	like hating your mother-in-law, not asking for what you need. A daughter is a daughter all your
1:09.3	life and a son is the son until he gets her wife, etc. So I love this. I'll start with the ones
1:14.4	that she mentioned. I now pronounce you man and wife. Yeah, I mean goes without saying like that one
1:20.5	can be thrown out for sure. Hating your mother-in-law, I don't like this either. I love my mother-in-law.
1:28.9	I think that this comes from kind of like the old competition that there was between women.
1:38.9	And I just feel like that's not the case anymore. I also think that some mothers have toxic
1:46.4	energy when it comes to their sons and like they like get kind of placed at odds with the
1:55.4	daughter-in-law. But I think like in 2023 that just happens less and less. And like you just get
2:02.5	ahead of it and you create your own relationship with that person. So I think that's definitely in
2:08.0	the past. Not asking for what you need. Obviously not a fan of that. You should always ask for what
2:13.2	you need. A daughter is a daughter all your life and a son is a son until he gets a wife.
2:20.4	You know, I've definitely heard this one before and it's funny because it's always made me like
