I just started listening to this podcast. I started from the first episode. Right now I am on episode 7. So far I have enjoyed them all. But for some reason, this episode is my favorite so far. For me, this episode had a lot of common sense, realistic, relatable points for any human being! Loving the podcast so far.
Marc needs to be on the episode that you reveal your new boo!
missing the last few mins and says cannot play due to a broken source
omg...thank you for this one....I needed to hear everything they said. I too have dealt with infidelity and my soon to be ex couldn't NOT understand that HE was the reason my trust was broken and that HE had to be the one to do whatever it took to repair that trust and essentially our marriage....the reason was because he was still cheating the whole time he claimed to love me and want our marriage. I am sitting here just bawling thinking about everything...and I honestly don't know if I will EVER be able to trust any man ever again.
I love your podcast. I have been listening since the beginning :) Kathryn is my favorite cohost, so better than the last one lol Looking forward to alot more episodes!!!
I agree to a point about physical....however....a REAL man will NEVER lay hands on a woman...a REAL man will wrap his arms around his woman to protect her, him and anyone else within arms reach until she calms down.
OMG...you have to watch #Sex/Life....it is absolutely a great show...you will love it.
Girl - why were you trying to have a 3rd I'd you were so unhappy....? so glad that didn't happen!
No wonder her husband cheated on her, she's insufferable.
Ok - Mike sounds ignorant as fuck....I'm almost not able to finish this episode. Mike, there is not ONE BLACK PERSON IN AMERICA WHO HASN'T EXPERIENCED RACISM IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. YOU SOUND LIKE AN ASSHOLE!!!
In our marriage our roles are reversed and I 1000% agree with Mike. My husband does this and I literally say "do you think I'm an idiot?" every single time. I would be so annoyed if I was in Mike's situation and you asked all of those questions. Even when he's telling the story it does sound like you think he isn't capable of doing it. I'm a woman and I agree with Mike!
great episode!!
Thank you for the breast is best talk. My son would not latch and I had to pump and I felt so horrible that he wasn't on the boob. it took me a few months to get over the guilt and when I gave him formula I finally felt better.
I think it was publicity for this movie.
@kramergirl I think the reason you can't let go is your fear to be 100% vulnerable and open to criticism from someone you're asking to hire you essentially. You're great at being open and honest about your life but I think you're ability to let go and be vulnerable is your hiccup. love you and the podcast!
It's Emily Giffin.
My heart is breaking for her listening to this. How terrified she is. I just keep thinking where is MICHEAL SHE NEEDS MICHAEL!
You can listen to Armchair's live podcast just like their other episodes!
love this, God is so great. we may not like His timing, but He knows what's best for His kids
I'm a first time listener! I love that it's just not my marriage is work I'm glad we all have to work on being married! Also our little girl is 13 months old and I'm a stay at home mom which I've never done and it's the biggest struggle! I had post pardon so bad and I think my biggest thing is finding myself!
