One Love, Two Homes

The April 25, 2024, episode entitled "One Love, Two Homes" is an outstanding exploration of the trend of older singles sharing a committed relationship while each maintaining separate residences. This episode explores both the pros and the cons of an LAT (living apart together) relationship. Highly recommended!

This “new” season is still old content. I miss hearing new dating themes. Actual new and not old content over and over.
