161. Keeping sex alive in a long-term relationship.

Anna forgets that moving countries is not an easy affair. Just like having babies and other life-changing events, she has forgotten about past experiences. The girls had a sliding doors moment both 'Lasses' were almost in Budapest at the same time. One day they will be in the same place, at the same time and record an in-person podcast.    Love Desk: Tinder now allows friends and families to recommend matches for you ... is this a step too far? Time will tell, the girls have some reservations.    Hot Topic: Keeping sex alive in a long-term relationship.  Anna's trying to switch to a different hot topic but Sara is keeping her honest and on track (not an easy job ...) The shift from sex to no sex is like a train that speeds past the station without realising it has happened. In long-term relationships, it's a hot topic indeed, as we get distracted by life and often move out of the habit of regular sex which is difficult to reverse and even trickier to discuss with our significant others.    Question: "My girlfriend and I have different values and beliefs. Is it possible to still have a good relationship without compromising who we are and giving up on our values?" Yes, maybe, maybe not ..... values are difficult to gauge when considering the future impact. Some values may feel like a non-negotiable, for example, the decision to have children, but others may move and shift over time. You might start to see your partner's perspective more and your values may become more aligned over time.    Great chat as ever, Sara's feeling calm and confident about her trip to Budapest. She's element ready with a new winter coat and Anna's giving her top tips on the local spirits. Let's hope she makes it back for the next recording.    Till next time!   Get in touch Geordie Lass & Doc Sass Email - [email protected] with your relationship hot topics or questions.
