This week on Landline: The Last Real Conversation, therapist Devon Grant joins me to tackle one of life’s biggest questions:
Should your life partner be your best friend, your soulmate, your emotional support tiger… or just someone who politely pretends your pants never needed bleaching?
We talk:
– Shitting your pants and spiraling into relationship dread
– Why Nick & Nora and Calvin & Hobbes should not be your marriage counselors
– The difference between codependency and community
– Islands, metaphors, C.S. Lewis, and gender role whiplash
– How one girl ruined Chuck E. Cheese forever
Perfect for:
People who think they want their partner to be everything
People who used to think that, and now just want their own bathroom
Anyone wondering if it's normal to need a full emotional debrief after a bodily function
👂 Listen now, reflect later, email your therapist eventually.
