Bonus: Condoms and Cruel Name Calling

Left On Read

Show Notes

Is this listener overreacting to finding a new condom in her boyfriends wallet when they don't use them? And should she be concerned about the torn edge that suggests he was in a hurry ripping it off? Julie and Brenda discuss and even take a trip down memory lane to a time when Brenda was told that a cleaner took the condoms from her boyfriends room. They also hear from a new mom who is struggling to get along with her boyfriend who ignores her and keeps calling her cranky and a grumpy bitch. Her family love him and her friends have become more distant as she's the first to have a baby which leaves her turning to Julie and Brenda for advice. Send your dilemmas to [email protected]
