TalkItOver: The only dating show that begins in bed

Is it a deal-breaker if your partner calls you by a different name?

What does it mean when your significant other calls you by the wrong name? Is it a big problem for you? Is it his/her ex or a family member or a boss? Did it happen more than once? Or what if your partner calls you by several different names? Is it enough reason to be suspicious? It is definitely enough reason to have a conversation and talk it over, the same way we are talking it over in our Big Ole Bed. Now let's pull back the sheets...

Is the winning formula in compromise to incorporate both of your needs to create a new version? How to know when to compromise in a relationship and when to say no? What is a healthy compromise? Does compromise mean to surrender? How to find a happy medium? What are the areas of relationships for you that are non-negotiable?

How To Address Sensitive Issues?

What is your first reaction when you hear: "We Need To Talk"? Are you in trouble? How to address sensitive issues without hurting your partner's feelings? How to maintain healthy relationships and develop positive communications while raising unpleasant topics in personal life/work/family? According to a relationship coach Dr. Susan Edelman: "When you can express yourself to your partner in a constructive way, it often brings you closer together. You’re not likely to feel understood if you can’t tell your partner how you feel." 

Are there certain sensitive topics that you should bring up with your potential significant other when you start courting? When is the best time to begin to talk it over? 

Well, we are not subject matter experts but some of our guests are. Now let's pull back the sheets...

The Most Important Person

Should you be the most important person in your significant other's life? We all agree that great relationships don't happen by itself, they require constant work and effort. Does this involve prioritizing your partner before anything else: before Friends, before Family, before Children? If you met "the love of your life', does that mean that the majority of your time and attention must be devoted to him/her? Is it ok to tuck away some of your own goals and aspirations because something has to give?

Champion or Challenger?

Should your partner be your champion or your challenger? Can two people who are polar opposites on the political/social/cultural spectrum be in healthy relationships? Can you date a person with extreme political views? Can they talk it over? Who would you prefer to be locked with during pandemic? Can one person combine both characteristics depending on the situation?
