Episode notes
Grief Can Make Partners Incompatible
- Grief and romantic readiness don't always align between partners and can block moving forward together.
- If one partner won't compromise (e.g., refuses to move a deceased spouse's ring), incompatibility may be the real issue.
Confront Harmful Posts Privately First
- Tell a partner privately if their private posts cross ethical or safety lines before exposing them publicly.
- Prioritize direct conversation first to avoid destroying relationships and escalating family fallout.
Pause Big Decisions After A Shock
- Delay major relationship steps after a shocking discovery; give time and therapy to process emotions.
- Consider postponing a wedding and seek couples therapy before deciding permanently.
