E234: Tie Breakers: Passwords, Period Sex, and Passenger Princesses (We’re Settling It Once and for All)

This week we’re bringing back one of our favorite games,
Tie-Breakers! You sent in the recurring arguments that pop up again
and again in your relationship — the ones that never seem to die no
matter how many times you talk about them — and now we’re stepping
in to make the final call. From sharing phone passwords to whether
it’s really that big of a deal to be 5–10 minutes late, we’re
tackling the everyday debates that drive couples just a little bit
nuts. In this episode, you’ll hear: The difference between
boundaries and control especially when it comes to what your
partner wears. Why couples fight about tiny habits (like dishes or
unpacking) and what those arguments really mean. How to handle when
one partner wants more privacy and the other wants full
transparency. What your “clean-up style” says about how you handle
responsibility in bed and in life. The psychology behind “small
stuff” fights and how to stop them from snowballing. Plus, the
ultimate showdown on period sex, post-oral kissing, and who should
drive. If you and your partner love to debate, this one’s for you —
equal parts funny, spicy, and “oh my god, that’s us.” Go deeper
