This week we are talking about our post Red Flags written for us by Molly Moore.
Rant - Trump
Trump is President, and if you wanted to ever start a podcast now is probably a good time to do it because you will never be out of material while Trump is in charge.
What was really interesting was the lack of people who actually attended the inauguration. Then the new administration claimed it was the most popular ever in spite of the facts.. claiming them as “Alternative facts”.
Sam Bee’s report on Steven Mnuchin, the new Treasury Secretary. It is really just horrifying who is being put in.
Listener Suggestion
Thanks for Jess for this suggestion of the BBC Three series “Sex on the Edge” about peoples kinks. From breath play to chastity it covers a real wide range of topics, but does it in a thoughtful and honest way.
It is a really good watch, well worth your time checking out.
Rant - Russia deciminalises violence in the home
It is amazing that in this day and age anyone would think it is OK for a husband to beat his wife. But that seems to be case in Russia, it is perfectly fine.
Red Flags
Molly did a great job laying out some simple red flags everyone should pay attention to when they crop up in your relationship.
None of these are a simple “if it pops up them it is always wrong” but the key thing to understand is if you feel something is wrong then trust your gut.
Key flags to pay attention to:
- Keep me a secret
- Naught to I love you
- Your friends are bad for you
- Your look nice… but
- I work evenings and weekends
- My place is a mess
- Oh look something shiny
- Trust your gut
If you are uneasy don’t brush that aside. You deserve to be happy in you relationships.
