    I was just waiting for ya'll to google OnlyFans to confirm Andy's definition was more correct. 😅

    I think only fans is a problem for guys in long term relationships since I feel like it’s more on a personal level .

    I wouldn't be with someone who follows 'instagram models'... tells you where their mind is at.

    You two have a lot going for you but the Burgeon vs Sate "No, YOU were more linguistically impressive" debate is truly the height of romance as far as I'm concerned.

    I think part of Q1 illustrates the power of punctuation and words! I don’t think the guy was saying he was hurt by anything. I think she meant “[I already knew] He follows IG models, but [I] was hurt about this.”

  • @delaney432

    I understand completely why Maryella feels upset. I was given the "I don't like anything" bullshit line. It hurts and makes you feel insecure and unable to trust the other person.

    He doesn’t need to “like” anything on Instagram... because now you can SAVE posts without your followers or the original poster knowing :\
    Beware

    Re: Q3 - did anyone else get a major red flag from the boyfriend saying he would be okay with her seeing other women *only*? To me that says that he doesn't take her bisexuality seriously, that he doesn't see the possibility of her falling in love with another woman, or even just realizing that she'd rather have a woman partner, as a real risk. You two read that much more charitably than me it seems :) Personally I think a couple like that, which has been together since their teens and is now moving in a marriage direction but also discussing having an open relationship, is actually trying to hit the brakes but not able to admit it to themselves and probably just needs to break up. But hey, she wasn't asking for my advice ;) Enjoying this podcast!!

      Honestly, most men don't take female bisexuality seriously--that is, until they are left for a woman.

      I kept crossing my mind that he is curious and if she explores it will open the door for him to explore.

    The guy who watches the old girlfriend’s private account I believe would cheat on the new girlfriend. He is not ready for the new relationship. Andy is always right~ good perspective

  • @jennychen8826
    @jennychen8826 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It took me a while, but I'm on andy's side about the girl dating the celebrity. I think he wants her to have closure and he thinks she'll get that by pushing a little bit further. If the guy shuts down her suggestion to go somewhere, she'll have her answer and can move on. If he doesn't shut her down, maybe that could lead to a more serious discussion of what could happen between them.

    Totally agree with Sharleen for the one dating someone famous. The second she gives him more he'll get disinterested, better to not give him the satisfaction or hurt her own pride. Easier to let it fade! (Realize this is old, but these are so fun to think about 😂)

  • @holliemalek2072

    The agreeing to disagree was by far the most interesting part of this episode. Wonder what other topics have led to agreeing to disagree between the two of you and how you communicate through it? Great podcast as always :)

  • @Mhappymendy
    @Mhappymendy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As to the second question, I totally agree with Andy. (btw, I am female) I think it is a very easy and cool to just ask the guy if he wants to go restaurant with her. If he doesn't want to, then move on. It will be easier for her to move on after she tried. Otherwise, she will always have the doubt her decision or regret left the relationship without trying.
    And I do agree you don't count the girl's feeling. I like you are objective, but not as much as sensitive as Andy on this one.
    But you guys are great. I love watching your podcast.

    @13:08 is it possible she meant to write "I was genuinely shocked and hurt by this"? The alternative doesn't really make sense in the context of that sentence (where she states that he also follows other instagram model accounts). I feel like perhaps she was trying to convey that she was aware of the others, but was particularly bothered by the ex-girlfriend thing. Regardless, I totally agree with both of your takes on this - so icky and inappropriate.

    • @dearshandy
      @dearshandy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hmm I guess it's possible! The original email reads: "He follows a lot IG “models” but was genuinely shocked and hurt about this." I agree it would make more contextual sense with an "I" in there, but it doesn't not make sense either. There aren't any grammatical errors anywhere else in the email so I have to take it as it's written! But yes, the conclusion no matter what is that it's icky and inappropriate. LOVE your attention to detail with this!!

  • @abbyabroad

    Definitely agree with Sharleen re: Caller 2. Andy is telling her to push a guy forward when she herself acknowledges that she knows that she should stay acting cool. The guy will think she’s desperate for something she hasn’t really shown a desire for. Developing feelings is far different than the psychological move to push a guy to confront something he has not shown a desire to fully face.
    If the guy has changed, taking a step BACK will do FAR more to get him to confront his own feelings. Andy always says to let the guy lead! Four years of sex does NOT mean that this is any different than the start of another relationship.
    1. I had a FWB with a great guy who simply wasn’t right for me that lasted 5-6 years. We did dating things too but when he met “the one,” it was clear and he ended our liaison immediately. No regrets but I was the one who lived abroad and to some extent had the control.
    2. Andy’s confusion about it all was fascinating to me. It is totally possible to engage in this kind of entanglement for years. Stepping back is far safer than pushing her to push the guy to “take it to the next level.” How does this make Sharleen cold??

  • @87Mtrujillo

    Opinion needed: Would this be in the same realm of sending a person in the relationship forwarding provocative/ thirst trap videos after leaving for work. Deleting them if the wife is around. So the dynamic of the relationship is he know she wouldn’t like it. Relationship is already rocky.

  • @mmem4264
    @mmem4264 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Q3 gave me strong Lily & Marshall from How I Met Your Mother vibes, only without the option to have an open relationship in any way. I truly admire people who can handle open relationships, it just seems too risky for me to feel comfortable with it. Then again, I think my asexuality may play a part in that, I've never experience sexual desire for another person, so open relationships feel less like scratching an itch so much as exploring intimacy with others. Like I know I'm taking it too seriously but it's like there's a block in my brain and I just don't understand.

  • @rebeccapatterson8049
    @rebeccapatterson8049 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think celebrity guy is intrigued by her because she has managed to be so illusive and it’s affected his confidence. It’s clear by his actions what he does and doesn’t want and as soon as she says “where is this going” and shows she wants more she’ll be giving him exactly what he wants which is validation. I’m with sharleen on this one. Pull away or keep doing what you’re doing. Let his actions do the telling. Keep the trump card.

  • @besartakajmolli5439
    @besartakajmolli5439 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a 26 year old in a 7 year relationship, I totally related to that last email. Although I am not bi-curious, I am also with someone who has only ever been with one person (me) and I remember having the "open relationship" conversation for the exact reason you two touched on - it could be a real test of the strength of the relationship. Ultimately we decided not to do it (the pandora's box thing seemed like too much of a risk) but I remember at the time wondering what Sharleen would think of the situation! Hahah
    So just out of curiosity, would your advice be the same if she wasn't bi-curious and maybe one (or both) of them simply had some curiousity about what else is out there? (Especially for someone that has only ever been with one person like my boyfriend and Anon's)

  • @BeingArtful
    @BeingArtful 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I appreciate how you both handled the first question with fervor and alacrity, but admit that I cringe when you call your assessments as "harsh" and "judgy". You both are only being critical on the behaviors outlined, not the actual person. The emailer is petitioning you for help and so you do. We live in environments where there's so much fear about being judgy, when actually, we may in fact need more people who are willing to call our brother and sister out on ill behavior or mistreatment of a significant other. It's refreshing when someone is willing to offer their own insights, albeit uncomfortable ones. So, thank-you both for giving your thoughts.
    You mentioned Vanessa's comment on the focus of primary relationships and I would take it further by saying that when we're in a dedicated, primary relationship, offering custody of the eyes is part and parcel with it. Meaning, that even if there is the temptation to see an ex's racy Instagram account, it's not necessary or good for the primary relationship to feed curiosities. If we can't refrain from compulsivity, it doesn't bode well for other areas of our lives, nor does it foster a wholesome relationship with the person we're in relationship with. I can make the gift of myself to my boyfriend by having custody of the eyes and keeping him my primary focus rather than feeding every stimulation and fostering curiosities.
    I was pretty dismayed with your responses to the second question!
    The opposite of love is not hatred, it is usury. You describe the woman as super smart.How is this woman smart when she and this man are in an exchange of long-term usury? Both are culpable of something that is the opposite of love. How ugly, indeed. Every person on the earth is to be deemed subject, not object. To treat or to be treated as a mere object, and as a mere means to an end (sex), goes against the individual integrity of a person or persons. To laud the emailer for sustaining a four year exchange of merely sex and for being able to emotionally distance herself from her partner is really saddening. So very, very saddening. It's as if we have accustomed ourselves to eating out of a dumpster rather than allowing ourselves to eat at a sumptuous feast. The depths of mediocrity are breathtaking. If I were to synthesize the details of the nature of their relationship, I would say this. (And this is just based on the details of it all. I do not know the individuals.) These two people have a deep fear of deep intimacy.

    • @raisaa1537
      @raisaa1537 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In the second question, she did mention that she was still seeing other people. It didn't work out with them so that's why she continued sleeping with the celeb. It's not always a deep fear of intimacy, sometimes you don't have access to a "sumptuous feast" and you're single for extended periods of time. If she doesn't want to stay abstinent for what could be months or years, and has good sex with this celeb, what's the problem? It's very hard to find good sex as a woman so I can understand why she would continue seeing him. At least she didn't put all her eggs in one basket and dated other guys. It's not her fault it didn't work out with them.

    Seems like the guy in the second situation is the dog and he has peed on her, she is the tree and he doesn't want other guys peeing on her. Wants her all to himself but not to actually be in a relationship with her.

  • @oc2538
    @oc2538 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know this is old, but I actually don't think she has any reason to be this upset because it is long distance and I do not think they are dating.
    To date long distance a couple must be so committed prior to the distance that they know you want marriage long term. Otherwise you are a parking spot wasting time and using eachother if you are in the same city. She knows he's a fboy.
    He's does look at women as objects. He also has no self respect to follow an ex gfs page. Like if she dumped you then you are a simp. If he dumped her then why are you watching her still half naked? It does not bode well.

  • @payettesatori8889
    @payettesatori8889 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The scenario around the 28 minute marks sounds like the woman has switched the narrative. It sounds like the "she" is describing "him" but it's actually reversed in reality. "She" is describing herself in the male position. That's my interpretation. It doesn't sound believable. Also, these type of relationships are just a mess. I honestly don't know how people can waste 4 years in a noncommittal mess. Yikes. Ok, to each their own, but yikes.

  • @thefitmit

    Hi Sharleen and Andy, I want to apologize for an earlier comment I made that was incredibly hurtful. Reading it back and seeing the reply to it left me feeling completely confused as to what effect I thought making that statement would have. I’ve admired you and followed you for a long time, and I very seriously and earnestly wish you and Andy all the best. My statements were criticizing an attitude towards sex workers that I believe is prevalent among people, but that does not mean you or Andy hold those opinions or that those opinions in some way reflect your value or worth as a human. Again, I am incredibly sorry about the ugly, unkind remarks. I will still be tuning in (comment box left untouched) because I find a lot of humor, value, and joy by listening to these episodes. If you saw my comment, I hope it didn’t weight on your heart and mind too heavily and I apologize from the bottom of my heart if it did. Keep being yourselves. I love it, even if I didn’t convey that appropriately today.

    It's funny how you guys are talking about it like it's a math problem and wondering how each other didn't come to the same answer. I think she would be fine if she took either one of your advice. I think we all see this man isn't someone she should be with.

  • @justmemadison
    @justmemadison 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm curious about the 3rd couple...is religion a factor? Did they grow up in a small town with minimal exposure or are they in a big city where there's unlimited exposure? When you read the email, I felt like he was OK with her being with a woman because he doesn't see it as a threat -- that's where the small town and religion could be a factor...he may have no understanding or appreciation for single sex relationships -- I realize she said she's bi-curious; however, she hasn't explored her sexuality so who knows where it could lead. In his mind, there may be no scenario where that affects their relationship. He may think she'll try it and realize it's not what she wants and that will be that. Hey, there's a chance it could be that simple, but there's a better chance that it's not. Just saying, my first reaction was not that he was sexually excited by the possibility of his girlfriend hooking up with another girl so he could watch.
