Listener Confessions, Divorce Red Flags & The Death of Surprise Proposals

from This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast! · host Jen & Ashten

🚨🚨 WE DID IT. Our very first Listener Confession has entered the chat… and BABY, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We’re still recovering. Emotionally. Spiritually. Legally.From there, we spiral (naturally) into the Top 10 Reasons People Get Divorced and honestly??? We are CONFUSED how some of these couples even made it to the altar in the first place. Like sir… you hated her dog, her laugh, and her entire existence but still said “I do”?? Bold. Reckless. Unwell.Then Ashten absolutely LOSES IT over modern-day proposals. You’re telling us the girl picked out the ring, approved the timeline, scheduled the photographer, AND packed the snacks?? WHERE IS THE SURPRISE. WHERE IS THE AWE. WHERE IS THE DRAMA. Bring back the Clark Gable era where men risked rejection, rings were hidden in coat pockets, and we didn’t crowdsource engagements on Pinterest. 😤💍Jen then introduces us to her mother-in-law’s mysterious new magazine subscription that appears to be Hunting Wives meets Home & Garden and no one—especially her poor mother-in-law—knows if she subscribed willingly or if someone is absolutely trolling her. Either way, the camo-chic content is thriving.We briefly (but intensely) dip into the new Andrea Yates documentary, where Ashten goes FULL Nancy Grace because some things still do 👏 not 👏 sit 👏 right 👏 with 👏 her 👏.And to top it all off? We received our FIRST INTERNATIONAL COMMENT on YouTube. So yes. We are basically famous. Global. Worldwide. Please act accordingly. 🌍✨Buckle up. This episode has chaos, opinions, confusion, and zero chill.You’ve been warned. 🎧🔥
