When You Want To Be ‘Unmarried’ But Not Divorced

Did you know that this time of year is when couples therapists are booked out? Can't think why...

But it's for this reason that we have today's little treat — an episode which Mia Freedman wanted to share with you all from No Filter.

David Finch is a lot of things: he’s an Autism and Neurodiversity consultant, the author of The Journal of Best Practices; A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband, an essayist for the New York Times Modern Love column…and he’s also UNmarried.

In this two-part special episode of No Filter, David Finch opens up to Mia about his life before and after his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis, his quest to be the best husband and father he could be — and how he ended up UNmarried (and what that even means).

You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with David here.
