Ep 4: Red Flags & Wrong Relationships | #themotherload
from The Motherload Podcast Hosted by Andrea and Gillian
How old were you on 9/11? If your date remembers it vividly, and you weren’t even born yet…. Cue the Uber. This week the ladies get honest about toxic relationships and the red flags they ignored. Andrea opens up for the first time about her secret courthouse wedding at 18, the ex who resurfaced years later (to steal her identity?? TBD), and the hard choice that led her to the life she has now. Plus: being hidden from a boyfriend’s mom, the “you’re lucky to have me” guy, gaslighting, trad wives, and why a lack of Hallmark sparks on date one isn’t always a dealbreaker. If you’ve ever stayed too long, or watched a friend do it, this one’s for you.
