I just loved this episode, although it was as much about new relationships as it was about old ones. But it made me reflect - how sad, how predictable we are, that the way we go in our relationships can be described so fully. Everything you said, I was nodding, agreeing as I kneaded my bread dough - yes, that's what we do, I know so many who do that, who have done that. How predictable. Particularly sad, the women who have been left. I know many who have never really recovered enough to jump back in to the relationship game. And how right you are about the lazy men! One issue you didn't mention is women's insecurity about how they look and how much that insecurity is magnified as they get older. Some women, like Suzanne I bet, are comfortable with their bodies, but so many are not. Perhaps that issue is one you could discuss in another episode? Meanwhile, thank you for a refreshing, insightful and delightfully cynical listen.
Hey, Carola. I am so glad you commented on this and that you enjoyed it so much. I think your suggestion about doing a podcast on body image is a really good one and I am sure that it will pop up soon! Thanks! Peter
