LSDcast - episode 62: Unfriending friends
The Love Sex & Dating 'Cast
In our increasingly socially connected work, online, if not offline, breakups can have ripple effects, when you share friends as a couple. What then, would Prem and Rogue advise? When you break up with a partner, do you also break up with their friends? Are there exception? Sibling hosts Prem & Rogue actually agree on the answer -- listen to find out what they think-- but come at it from different directions, unsurprisingly. What do you think? Who should do the unfriending, anyway? Let us know. Also, have you subscribed yet? Or sent in your questions? Do it now!:D
info_outlineIn episode 47, your hosts Prem and Rogue had a little mock squabble - as siblings do - with some mock threats (remember \"rum PUNCH\"?) so this time we're talking love bites (well, kinda linked, isn't it?) and we've got a legit expert to come talk to us about when verbal threats in a relationship move from being playful to actually alarming. We have criminologist Rashi V (@mizarcle on twitter) joining us to talk about intent, safety and threat in a relationship, violence and the different types of abuse (m-f, f-f, and m-m). Are \"jokey\" threats the slipperly slope toward physical violence? You need to hear this. And then, to lighten things up (with concealer, perhaps?) we talk about the love stamp: hickeys! A listener wants her new partner to stop; he thinks it's funny. What do the siblings think? What do YOU think? Bonus: Prem had a platonic friend who once got slobberingly drunk and nibbled on him. All that and more on Episode 48
