#52: "My partner is more into video games than into me" - more listener questions answered
Private EducationShow Notes
The lovely Andrea Doyle (Dr Dre) joins me for this episode to help me give two more listeners advice on their relationships. Our first listener feels like her weight gain and hun bun might be putting her partner off her (we beg to differ!) and the second listener is trying to decide whether she should stick with her partner even though she wants kids and he doesn't. Hopefully both listeners - and you too - get something good from the episode. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the last episode of season 2, Aisling and Andrea discuss the ten things you need to talk about before you get engaged or married (or indeed make any sort of legal long term commitment to another person).
**TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic violence**
This week Aisling and Andrea discuss a new dating term that Aisling maintains she's been talking about for years (of course) which is the concept of 'cushioning'. Overlapping partners, basically, to cushion the emotional blow that moving between relationships can bring. We also give our best advice about how to break up with someone with respect and kindness, as well as detailing some of our own worst break ups.
This week's episode is packed full of insights thanks to our guest, relationship coach Lisa McFarland. We talk about attachment styles, conflict styles and love languages among many other topics, and hopefully you'll venture online and take a test or two to see what you and your partner's attachment styles are and how you can understand each other better.
This week on Private Education, we have a really candid and honest chat with Andrew Fitzsimons – Khloe Kardashian's close confidant and hair stylist – about growing up in Ireland as a gay man, trust issues in relationships and healing yourself before you can share your life with someone else. Andrew spoke so beautifully about his client Mariah Carey (!!) and how he "does not accept" that she's labelled a diva because she's professional and knows what she wants. A chat we really enjoyed having and editing, we hope you enjoy too.
