The Relationship Double Standards We All Have.. | Ep. 80

The Relationship Double Standards We All Have We all have relationship standards—but are we actually willing to follow the same rules we expect from our partner? In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the double standards that can show up in relationships and dating, including the ones we may not even realize we have. We discuss the different expectations people can have for themselves versus their partners, from friendships and social media to jealousy, communication, going out, money, attraction, and boundaries. We also debate whether some double standards are actually unfair or if there are situations where different expectations can make sense. This episode is all about holding ourselves accountable, recognizing our own contradictions, and asking whether we'd be okay with our partner doing the exact same things we do. Topics discussed include: Double standards we have in relationships Expecting things from your partner you don't do yourself Social media and relationship boundaries Jealousy and insecurity Friendships with the opposite sex Going out without your partner Communication and texting expectations Money and spending habits Attraction and flirting Relationship rules and personal boundaries Whether every double standard is actually unfair Holding yourself accountable in a relationship Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
