NEW - It’s Not You, It’s Me: Why Love Makes You Angry

Relationship columnist Jen Kirsch and commentator Tony Tedesco join date night to unpack why the people closest to us have the most power to hurt us, and what that actually reveals about the patterns we carry into every relationship. The disappointment you feel in love rarely has much to do with what just happened. Jen and Tony get into why our unspoken expectations set the stage for the arguments we think are about something else entirely, and why the things that bother us most about a partner tend to say more about us than about them. When repeated conversations produce no change, that is not a communication problem. It is a signal. This conversation names what that signal means and what to do with it. Topics: relationships and expectations, attachment, love and disappointment, emotional patterns, communication in relationships GUEST: Jen Kirsch | @‌jen_kirsch / Tony Tedesco | @‌tedescotony Originally aired on 2026-06-17
