Why therapists HATE the perfect boyfriend trend [English shadowing] Ep 865

Today's English listening https://adeptenglish.com/english/listening/ is all about "High-effort boyfriends". You might have come across some of these "cringe" videos scrolling through your social media. A woman listing all the amazing things her boyfriend does for her? Trips, gifts, paying for everything. It looks perfect, but is it? is it really? In today’s learn English podcast**, we’ll explore the "high-effort boyfriend" trend.

We’ll learn useful words like "performative", meaning something that looks good but isn’t real, and "autonomy", having your own power to make decisions. We’ll also talk about what it means to "infantilise" someone, treating an adult like they can’t do things for themselves.
