Am I the a**hole if I charge my girlfriend $1,000 for rent while I pay $2,000?
from Veritas Views (with Veritas Psychology Partners) · host Veritas Psychology Partners
This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the a**hole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about any number of things! Stay tuned through the end to find out!In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole if I charge my girlfriend $1,000 for rent while I pay $2,000?"Today Gayle and Dan mentioned a couple things, including:--This recent article that Dr. Gayle MacBride contributed to: https://parade.com/living/traits-of-people-who-avoid-responding-to-texts-according-to-psychologists--George Carlin's philosophy on changing minds with humor from Last Words (2009): "But when you're in front of an audience and you make them laugh at a new idea, you're guiding the whole being for the moment. No one is ever more him/herself than when they really laugh. Their defenses are down. It's very Zen-like, that moment. They are completely open, completely themselves when that message hits the brain and the laugh begins. That's when new ideas can be implanted. If a new idea slips in at that moment, it has a chance to grow."--Hannah Gadsby: https://hannahgadsby.com.au/--One pot vs multiple pots of money: https://corporette.com/whether-to-merge-finances/--Our mailbag!
