S3: #10: We didn’t break up (but we came close lol)
Wed Jan 28 2026
Five years into our relationship, my partner Aaron and I sat down to talk (like, for realzies) about what we’ve been through together, and how we've come to understand and love each other more deeply.
From time apart and living alone, to moving out, moving back in, learning how to fight without destroying each other, and finding support through couples therapy, this episode is a candid look at the reality of a long-term partnership. We reflect on the ways our nervous systems collide, how co-regulation has shaped our dynamic, and how love continues to challenge us to confront our own patterns.
Since recording this episode, we’ve already entered a new chapter (classic life doing its thing...). This conversation captures one moment along the way, shared openly for anyone navigating the messy, meaningful work of loving another person.
