Episode notes

I feel like being in a PLP helps to kind of alleviate some of the social pressures and expectations around dating. It's really just the Wild West right now in the sense no rules anymore because we've broken them, I feel. We aren't following these milestones that are that been laid out previouslyYeah yeah do you know when it is a good time to let go of this? You don't necessarily meet the others needs because you don't love each other it's just thatyeah exactly yeah yeah yeah Yeah Do you have any advice for someone who has gone through something similar with their partner? If so please send me an e-mail at jennifer@dailymail.co.uk

In this episode, Hannah is joined by April Lee and Renee Wong, platonic life partners originally from Singapore and now based in LA. April and Renee tell Hannah all about their personal story and what led to them becoming platonic life partners, what a PLP actually is, and how to tell the difference between a best friend, a potential PLP, and a romantic love connection. They talk about getting to handpick things that create security and commitment in their partnership without having to deal with the complex legalities of marriage, why it’s more common for women and queer people to have PLPS, and also their experiences of dating other people while in their PLP. Finally, April and Renee talk about what it’s like navigating such a sexualised world when demisexual, what would happen if one of them were to meet a romantic partner, and why, if they were to have children, they would want to do it with each other.
