Can Someone Truly Change After Cheating?

About this episode

Jared and Jordana discuss the implications of cheating and lying in relationships, along with various listener dilemmas and personal anecdotes.

This week J&J unpack why lying in a relationship can be worse than cheating itself and debate whether an ex warning a new girlfriend is “helpful” or completely unhinged. They break down a breakup that left one listener scrambling for a new apartment and explain the difference between being petty and being prudent when money and resentment collide. Plus, Jared defends his longtime 'finger in the butt' stance while Jordana gives practical advice for couples trying new things in bed without shame or panic. They also discuss a man who refuses to wear deodorant (red flag), a fiancé calling another woman “the prettiest girl he’s ever seen,” and Jared accidentally discovering he’s been saying “sight on scene” instead of “sight unseen” for years!
