About this episode
The episode discusses a woman's concerns about her partner's communication style and whether he meets her expectations of masculinity in a relationship.
Anonymous has been with her partner for about a year now and they moved in together about three months into the relationship. She says her partner is not an open communicator and tends to give her the silent treatment every time they have conflicts, leaving her to be the one to break the ice. She thinks he should be “manning” up and speaking up in these situations as that’s the kind of man she prefers to be with. She loves him and enjoys his warm character but doesn’t know if this the kind man she could marry one day.
