Are you ready for a rollercoaster ride through the world of modern dating? What would you do if your long-term partner suddenly broke up with you via text? How long should you wait before defining the relationship? This episode of the Talking Phase Podcast tackles these burning questions and more, diving deep into the complexities of love, commitment, and communication in the digital age.

The hosts offer contrasting perspectives on whether James should seek closure or move on, sparking a heated debate about respect, closure, and the role of technology in modern breakups.
But that's not all - the episode takes another dramatic turn as they address an email from Ashley, a woman in her early 30s struggling with a partner who won't commit.
