Jeremy Tusia & Ilan Volchek
About this episode

Having the courage to break up with your partner is never easy. The anxiety of not finding someone else, the memories created together as well as how your partner will react to the break up are all factors that can complicate our decision-making. 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they share what they believe are crucial ideas to keep in mind when choosing to break up with someone. Expect to learn why avoiding the breakup conversation is selfish, how to identify when the time is right to end a relationship and why breakup sex is never a good idea. 

We hope you enjoy!
