Standards or DELUSION?!

from DEVIOUS · host Handy and Maal

Are your relationship standards valid… or straight-up delusion? In this episode, we break down modern dating expectations and challenge what’s real vs unrealistic. From playing devil’s advocate to reacting to a wild “Am I The A**hole?” story about a boyfriend skipping his girlfriend’s family events, things get messy fast. We also draft the ultimate toxic partner by picking the biggest red flags (yeah… it gets dangerous ) and react to some painfully relatable moments. If you’ve ever questioned dating standards, double standards, or relationship fairness—this episode is for you. Real talk, funny moments, and uncomfortable truths all in one.
