The One That Got Away

Dear Media
About this episode

Chances are, you either have a “one that got away,” ARE the one that got away, or have dated someone who is still hung up on the one that got away. We’re talking about it all – why we have this person, why men tend to have them more than women, how to get over them, and why it’s good if you DON’T have one. We’re also sharing our personal experiences with it, and the reasons our listeners say they aren’t over that ex. Before we get into the topic, we’re discussing the question “Should you tell your partner about your past flings?” Plus, we’re giving thanks, revealing who’s the better Thanksgiving cook, and sharing advice for handling family with opposing politics/values over the holidays. Enjoy!
