What Do You Hide From Your Partner?

Dear Media
About this episode

We’re discussing all the things people hide from their partners, from getting Botox to spending habits to past sexual experiences, and more. We break down the different categories of “little white lies” and the motivations behind them, through research, our own experiences, and contributions from our audience. And we’re diving into age-old questions like “Do you have to tell your partner how many people you’ve slept with?” and “Do guys always lie when you ask them what they’re thinking about?” Before we get into the topic, we’re talking about health (microplastics, air quality, and more!), and the most searched fetish in every state. Enjoy!
