TalkItOver: The only dating show that begins in bed

Should You Have A Problem If Your Partner Has A Wandering Eye?

Is it normal to have a 'wandering eye'? None of us are immune to temptation. We all have our own reasons. Is it ok if someone likes to 'check out the menu without ordering? Does a wandering eye have to lead to infidelity? Is there any difference between online and in-person wandering? Is it a sign of insecurity if your partner's 'wandering eye' makes you feel upset? Can you talk it over?

How to stay friends with your ex?

Can you really be friends with your ex? Did you ask yourself, why you want to be friends with your ex? Are there still some feelings involved? Are you in a new relationship? How does your new love react to your ex's existence? Does your family support you? How do you avoid unnecessary drunken arguments that can often accompany transitions? How do you know when to set boundaries, and when to keep that person close? 

There is a lot to talk it over. Please meet our amazing guests and let's pull back the sheets...

Harmony in diversity: are we too different to make it work?

How can religious/cultural/racial differences impact your relationships? What if your family or community does not support your choice due to historical or cultural experiences and/or prejudices? Is it bigotry, close-mindedness, or just preference? Is it a typical dilemma for families, where parents are following their traditional beliefs but children don't stay within the cultural/racial boundaries? How to navigate dating life when you are struggling to find your own identity? What is worse: racial or religious prejudice? 

We have a very complex topic today and 50 min is not enough to cover all the nuances, so we might need to have a part 2. Meantime, let's pull back the sheets...
