Big respect for anyone who can find more than one person at a time to date.

2026-01-15 08:07:51 +0000 UTCGreat stuff! However, I did find the elevator story when they said “of course it was a white man” very disappointing and offensive, and no, I’m not a “white guy.”

2026-01-13 14:11:09 +0000 UTCWow. I love this conversation. Rebecca, thank you so much for sharing your experience. It was validating to hear. When I was younger, my college sweetheart and I got married, moved, and then we divorced a few years later. He "kept" our mutual friend which was most people bc we met most of them as a couple. The whole thing about people saying things like "you need to wait to date again" or people trying to set me up with dates because I "needed to get out there and have a rebound" was a lot to sift through. The feelings you shared were so similar to what I felt too. I just really appreciate that even though that time in my life was incredibly lonely, it wasn't unique to just me. It reframes that time for me in a less painful way! Thanks so much and I wish you the best with your dating endeavors!

And your closing sentence helped me just today, when I am slipping into depression and depersonalisation and just misery of everyday life and am thinking about raising my dosage of antidepressants, feeling like a failure. And there you are, heavily medicated, but FUNCTIONAL. And this really helped me. Been through a lot of relationship shit in my life and one terrible break-up was actually what wounded me the worst, so everyone better know how much breaking-up sucks, especially if you are at the recieving end. Hear hear to all heavily medicated, but functional. This too shall pass (but still I'm telling myself What the actual fuck was that anyway)

2026-01-09 17:12:25 +0000 UTCRebecca, my 9 year partner "dumped" me about two weeks ago from today, and we're now in our "let's focus on ourselves, get some space, and see where we land" phase. And this was after much fighting and a really difficult two years, and I had no idea I could feel this many huge emotions all at the same time. I can't believe that you intuited that I personally needed you to make this episode just for me during this difficult time in my life :p. But seriously, I too am having a lot more spooky accurate tarot readings since it happened. I wonder if it’s just a thing about radically changing course and sacrificing a lot as that change happens. I just wanted to say thank you for making an episode that all of us radical course changers can benefit from. This was so encouraging to hear you talk about. "She got the fuck up and did what she wanted with her life" is going straight into my quote list. <3

2026-01-07 21:24:48 +0000 UTCI understand what it's like to have a relationship dissolve over lifestyle differences, specifically Rock Climbing. An ex of mine dedicated a huge portion of their non-working time to Rock Climbing, as well as their personal identity. I hate rock climbing, I'm afraid of heights, it makes me terrified. We had so many arguments and heartaches, they tried to force me to enjoy climbing in order to maintain the relationship. I loved them so much I put myself in situations that made me feel mentally stressed and physically in danger. Towards the end I had to learn to love myself enough to say "I can't be what this person wants me to be, I am afraid of heights, and I love myself anyway." After we broke up, my ex explained to me that he could not change this about himself. Everyone he has dated since me has been a climber - it's a requisite for compatibility for him. We have had some honest, healing conversations since the breakup and we are friends now. And now I'm married to someone who loves me for who I am. Our marriage has a super healthy balance of doing some activities together, and some separately that we individually enjoy.

2026-01-07 17:44:34 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing your journey with us, Rebecca! I'm happy to hear you're doing so well these days. I've always loved listening to your episodes with Dr. H. As a geriatric millennial, I couldn't help laughing at the discussion about wishing stuff started earlier in the evening. I play bass in a band, and we are scheduled to go on at 11pm at our upcoming show. I am already exhausted thinking about it!!

2026-01-07 14:33:27 +0000 UTCI feel unbelievably honored to be with you in the complexities that come with divorce. Thank you for also being open and normalizing dating in your 50s, fluid sexuality/dating a trans man, being in a poly relationship, agr gap relationships and divorce in general. All topics that affect soooo many people and all topics that are not discussed nearly enough. Thank you🙏🏽🖤
