Update: 2025-11-06
Description
Ethan and Mel are learning how their previous relationships have shaped them, and how their very different emotional and cultural backgrounds impact their relationship. In this session, they address the patterns and behaviours that have caused them to break-up in the past, and decide whether or not to give it one more go.
