About this episode

In this Q&A episode, Sharleen and Andy tackle listener questions about family relationships, boundaries, and communication in romantic partnerships.

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions! If your elderly dad is juggling two girlfriends, is it acceptable to refuse to meet them? When your stepmom "forgets" your rule around holiday travel, is it better to hold firm or just keep the peace? Your boyfriend tells you you're perfect but also says he isn't "obsessed"—what's your next move? Finally, if you did a sizable favor for a friend and she never even bought you a meal as thanks, does confronting her make *you* the A-hole??
