Mo U.

But some relationships are unhealthy though. And it can take a long time to see that if you are holding on and trying to make it work. Also, if you're including people who aren't married and broke up after 5 years, I see break ups like that amoung my straight friends too. I wonder if someone is studying this so we can see past the anecdotal experiences?

Hi folks, Great episode for all us about "Guilt" whatever your sexuality.Dr Blandono is spot on to turn guilt into a more affirmative response. Enjoy the show from a ole straight fart in his 50s.
