Just Break Up: Relationship Advice from Your Queer Besties

Can you believe sexuality is more complicated than checking a box?! It’s physical, nebulous, and doesn’t need to be confirmed or denied by your partnerships. Whether you stay in a safe, loving relationship with a man, end your marriage to pursue passionate sex with a woman, or explore an in-between that works for you, you don’t need immediate clarity—or a label.Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!SUBMIT: justbreakuppod.comFACEBOOK: /justbreakuppodINSTAGRAM: @justbreakuppodTWITTER: @justbreakuppodBLIND DATE: Boys In BlueJust Break Up is a production of Du Vide Media.

Parents aren’t some little nuggets to be unearthed. For the healthiest relationship with them, the trick is setting reasonable expectations and boundaries that are more sustainable than trying to change them, and learning to give yourself the thing you desperately wish they’d give you (easier said than done, we know).Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!SUBMIT: justbreakuppod.comFACEBOOK: /justbreakuppodINSTAGRAM: @justbreakuppodTWITTER: @justbreakuppodJust Break Up is a production of Du Vide Media.

Yes, breakups are a mindf*** on every single level. But just because your ex is having a reaction you can’t see doesn’t mean your relationship wasn’t important. It means you don’t have access to each other anymore, but you do have teammates you can turn to. (And if all else fails, you can always call upon The Block, or its trusted sidekick, The Mute.)Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!SUBMIT: justbreakuppod.comFACEBOOK: /justbreakuppodINSTAGRAM: @justbreakuppodTWITTER: @justbreakuppodJust Break Up is a production of Du Vide Media.

Sorry, but we can’t have kinky sexual liberation without honest conversation and self-reflection. Remember to: define the specific yeses and nos of your relationship (polyamorous or otherwise), tend to your wound instead of telling yourself not to be hurt, and set the boundaries you need, even if that’s loving someone from afar.
