Hotline Calls: Should You Make Up or Bre...

Dr. Emily Morse
About this episode

It’s the question everyone has asked themselves at least once. Should I break up with my partner? Relationship success depends on so many factors - communication, emotional intimacy, and of course - sexual connection. Figuring out which problems are worth solving and which ones are directing you to the exit sign can be confusing, exhausting and painful.

So on today’s show, I take your questions - live - to figure out if you should make up or break up. Is bad sex worth leaving someone over? What about an age gap that puts both of you in much different life stages? Or how do you know if an affair has the potential to turn into something real? We learn so much from other people’s relationships. No matter where you are in your own, this will teach us all how to make better choices going forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  How to navigate the crossroads of making up or breaking up—and what signs to look for in your relationship.
  • Why communication, boundaries, and therapy are game-changers when deciding whether to stay or go.
  • The truth about age gaps, open relationships, and the role of emotional honesty in finding real compatibility.
