Love Lives

As another year comes to a close, it's our New Year's Eve special. We discuss kissing at midnight and look into where the tradition came from. And after a year of being ghosted, "seeing" people and having indescribable, confusing, questionable romantic liaisons, we reveal the dating resolutions we're making for 2018. Happy New Year!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Although being single at Christmas can be a lot of fun, it also inevitably leads to the dreaded inquisition from family members who are nosy about your love life (or lack thereof). This week, we share our experiences of mothers who just don't understand us and having to sleep in children's race car beds when we go home for Christmas. We also discuss 'Marleying,' a newly-identified seasonal dating trend that sees people reaching out to their exes over the festive period. If you haven't done it, it's probably happened to you. Merry Christmas from Millennial Love!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The topic on everyone's lips this week has been 'Cat Person', the short story about the early stages of dating someone which was published on the New Yorker and went viral - many young women have found it incredibly relatable, but it's also controversial in some ways, which is the main topic we're discussing this week. We're also talking about sex - there's a stereotype that after sleeping with someone, a woman always falls in love with them, but is that true? And what's the science behind it? We delve in.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Madeleine explains what they are and we work out which category we fall into. We also discuss how we develop our attachment style and what we can do about them.

This week on Millennial Love we're joined by love and relationships coach (and all round romance guru), Ar'nie Rozah Krogh. In the light of the royal engagement announcement, we're thinking about fairy tale romance - why are we so obsessed with the idea of being swept off our feet and is it a problematic ideal to hold?
