Red Flags & Regret
Manage episode 517267594 series 3697416
We pull four relationship stories from Reddit and test the difference between love and control. From a decade-long obsession to reproductive coercion, a “virginity test” demand, and a husband who stepped over his fainted wife, we ask what partners owe each other in care, consent, and character.
• the line between persistence and pressure
• reproductive coercion as abuse, not romance
• why “tradition” never trumps bodily autonomy
• neglect as a pattern, not a one-off
• setting boundaries and planning for safety
• when to seek counselling versus when to walk
