Ep. 208 “Seeking Intimate Connection Elsewhere While Maintaining a Happy Household?”

In this episode, Jay and Petra kick things off with the question of the day: “After your significant other passes away, how long should someone wait before declaring their romantic intentions?” The duo dives deep into this sensitive topic, exploring societal expectations, personal readiness, and emotional well-being.

They then read and respond to a letter from a listener grappling with a complex issue: balancing the desire for deeper intimacy outside their marriage while preserving the happiness and stability of their current household. Jay and Petra offer compassionate, insightful advice on navigating the delicate boundaries of relationships and understanding unmet needs.
