    Hey, J Shan dropping by:

    This episode is exactly my POV whether or not I’m Single or In a Relationship. The issue I always come to have is when the Lady I talk to has Her Family and Friends involved or knowledgable of the relationship.

    The line between Support and Nosy Folks is a Thin Line; also one that for many is on the Religious Perspective, so I understand to an extent. I’m Agnostic so I Get It and would love God- in whatever Religious Capacity- watches over and would bless a relationship. Everyone Else, if there is no Toxic Nature or Bias of the Negative Spaces or Condemnation, would be welcome as well

      Yo! Watup J Shan?

      Thank you so much for dropping by. I truly appreciate that.

      Having too many people involved in a relationship can be a recipe for disaster. I definitely think it’s important to gain an understanding of how involved another person allows their family and friends to be in their lives and relationships, especially before entering into a relationship with them.

      I can’t even begin to imagine how it must have been to deal with other people being “in the know” about your relationship.

      You’re right about that line being very thin. In some cases, I believe it can even begin to overlap.

      Yes, discussion about religion, spirituality and other important topics should be explored before committing to a relationship with someone. At least, that’s my thought process.

      Thank you again for swinging by and sharing your thoughts and perspectives with me. It means a lot and I hope that you enjoyed the podcast episode too.
