Parenthood

👄 REAL TALK - Do you have to like your friend's partner?

Parenthood

Show Notes

What happens when you adore your friend… but dread spending time with their partner?

We unpack personality clashes between couples, whether it’s okay to keep friendships to coffee dates and playdates, and how to set boundaries without hurting your friend or making them choose sides.

Because sometimes the best way to protect a friendship is accepting that not everyone needs to be friends.
