Opposites attract (allegedly), but what if you just don't have much in common? We're exploring differences with your partner in this episode -- having different hobbies and interests, when it's healthy, when your partner's hobby is a lifestyle (or an obsession) and you're not into it and vice versa, core values that should align for a solid relationship, and even how to discuss what's happening in the world right now with a partner who is dismissive. We're also discussing Ashley's feelings on surprises, Rayna's recent period snafu, and bringing back Is This Weird? with some extra ridiculous/hilarious submissions. We hope you enjoy!

We're talking with Eric Klinenberg, sociologist and author (and co-author of Modern Romance with Aziz Ansari), about the rise of living alone, why women aren't settling for long-term partners, and what life looks like when you're happily unmarried. But we're also discussing relationships -- how we choose partners (are we doing it wrong?) and what we expect from our partners (is it realistic?). Plus, we review Normal People and bring back That Took a Turn. We are also addressing race and our country's current state of affairs.  Check out Eric's website with all his books and info, and follow him on Twitter @EricKlinenberg.
