Part 3 of 7! This season on To Hump a Pillow, I invite my fiance Mike to the podcast in a 7-Episode Relationship Series to discuss challenging conversations that occur in couple-hood. We'll deep-dive into 7 deliciously uncomfortable topics:
- How to talk about envious and jealous feelings
- How to talk about money and finances, spending habits
- Sex life - how it's changed over our relationship and how to ask for what you need
- On taking things too personally
- Maintaining individualism and ensuring alone time
- Day to day compromising
- Coparenting in a blended family
In this episode, Mike and I discuss difficult feelings and values around money, like:
- The beginning of our sex life (early dating), first sexual experience
- First trimester sex
- Second/third trimester sex
- Post-partum sex life and how to navigate the emotional and physical mess
- Things that get in the way of our sex life
