When True Love feels more like a True Crime Story....Abby is ready to investigate! Breaking Up is hard to do (obviously) but it's even harder when social media is involved. If your relationship is on display, people are noticing...especially when it ends. We talk to couples and individuals about their break ups. What went wrong? What things did they work through to try and make it work? We'll learn from them and take valuable lessons from their experience while sharing a laugh (or cry) along the way.

AndreaAnn ,

Just listen!

Really enjoy the podcast and how Abby edits to keep the stories on point but doesn’t take away from the interview. Great job Abby, keep them coming!

Ransom note idiot

Maybe I started with the wrong episode. I really like Abby on TBS and was hopeful to find a new podcast to enjoy! But the “ransom” girl on today’s episode sounds like an idiot and a really bad story teller. Nothing about her story made any sense whatsoever. Maybe I will try again at some point but if this is the kind of people your stories come from count me out.
