Cheating, Heartbreak, Ethical Non-Monogamy, Conscious Uncoupling and More (WWYBD?!)

Ep 176: It’s the last Friday of the month, so that means a ‘What Would Your Bestie Do?” question and answer episode. Our listeners send in anonymous questions and we candidly answer.

In the catch up segment, Allison shares her recent updates and coast to coast travels (even Peaches tagged along). The last week included a road-trip along the Pacific Coast Highway and staying at a cute hotel on her bucket-list. Then she cheered on her partner at his CrossFit competition. And of course, finishing out the weekend in Charleston for Ceara’s wedding, which listeners will get to hear about next week!

For this episode of WWYBD, Allison discusses relationship dynamics, boundaries, and self-reflection.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

• I keep repeating the same dating experiences. How can I figure out where these patterns come from and how to fix them?
• I looked through my boyfriend’s texts and found something that is making me question our future together. Should I stay with him?
• Any advice for getting through heartbreak?
• Another girl called my husband her “comfort person” and I think she wanted to sabotage our wedding. Do I ghost her or confront her?

Allison covers topics related to infidelity, boundaries in relationships, ethical non-monogamy, taking breaks to gain clarity and navigating difficult friendships. She also talks about the concept of codependency and the importance of prioritizing one's relationship with oneself. The advice given reflects a non-traditional perspective, encouraging open communication and exploration of different dynamics that meet the needs of all individuals involved.
