Is It Okay to Have Crushes in a Relationship?

from Girls Gotta Eat · host Dear Media

Having crushes in a relationship – harmless or unhealthy? We are breaking it all down with data from our listeners and discussing how normal it is, what counts as “harmless,” the differences between men and women having crushes, the “work wife” trope, when fantasizing becomes a problem, and more. We break down an article titled “The Secret to a Great Marriage? Crushes on Other People” and a listener email with the subject line “Happily married, but still fantasize about others.. is that fucked up?” We also share our own experiences (including Ashley’s current crush). Before we get into the topic, we are discussing the hot topic of couples fighting over food delivery costs, and Rayna has a tour announcement! Enjoy!
