Approaching Sensitive Conversations with Empathy

“What? I was just being honest!”

This is one of the most common phrases that gets uttered during conflicts between couples. We’ve all been taught to believe that honesty is a virtue, but let's be real, some of us are crossing the line between honesty into cruelty.

In this episode, we asked you to tell us about the situations where your partner said something that felt cruel to you, or you said something to your partner that felt cruel to them. We’re giving you our hot takes on if it was honest or just plain mean.

We’re even sharing some of our very personal (and very embarrassing) moments when we were way too honest with each other!
