Totally Married Podcast
Episode 269
Elizabeth and Andy discuss anxiety dreams and the art of being present before giving their unqualified advice to listener questions about how to address the heart of a weight problem, what’s the deal with leasing a car, how to navigate a relationship with a man who is a father and isn’t going “public” with your relationship, what to do about a friendship that ended without closure, and how to re-flame a sex life that is lagging due to schedules and stress? Enjoy!

I actually enjoyed hearing the run through of Elizabeth’s morning…
Love the podcast, keep up the great work!!
Andy- in response to the dad not making the relationship public, you’re not wrong about the possibility that this guy is full of shit. I personally had a guy fabricate his brother’s wedding we were flying to together (I was going to meet his family), and then he had to cancel because they ‘broke up.’ Among other extreme lies I discovered shortly thereafter, it turns out the brother had actually gotten married two months prior. It was all made up to look like he intended to have me meet everyone when there was no way it was going to happen. He wasn’t married, but turned out to be a criminal with an entirely made up existence. Thanks, eharmony.
Another insane story belonging to a close friend of mine- she dated a guy for 2 years, supposedly divorced with kids. He twice flew her into town to have her meet the kids and the ex, then had ‘anxiety attacks’ each time just prior to the fake meetings. Turns out he was married the whole time.
These psychos are out there. And to go a year without making things public? I don’t mean to be insensitive to the writer-inner’s feelings, but I call bullshit. 🙁
Agreed! I was in a relationship with the same kind of guy who would fabricate situations and always have an excuse or reason things didnt pan out. Turned out he was a pathalogical liar and con artist who wouldnt have me over because he was hiding the fact he was living with his parents. He moved in to my place and managed to keep it a secret. Unfortunately I didnt find out who he really was until shortly after I married him and the honeymoon he “planned” fell through because some supposed problem with the travel agent. All I can say is red flags!
You guys, this show has always been my favorite of all of your amazing podcasts, and I look forward to it every single week. I don’t have a specific comment to this week’s episode but when you were joking about ending the show when you stop getting questions I was like “Nooooooooooo!”. I’ve been having a really shitty week and listening to the show today totally cheered me up. Thank you for all the work and love you put into these shows!
Also I started my Bullet Journal the week before Elizabeth first brought it up on the podcast and it’s been such a game changer for my productivity as a freelancer.
yay! Thanks so much Kristy!!!
AYO Andy, NEVER stop saying “titties.”
Andy should never stop saying titty!
I’m on the “your boyfriend is still married” train. It’s really weird that you have never been to his house. Surly his daughter visits her mom out of state so why no invite to his place? He’s definitely hiding something.
I totally understand about the woman who has issues with her significant other trying to inspire/support her as she works out. I lost a lot of weight before I met my husband, and have continued to struggle with my weight and binge eating. My husband is incredibly well-meaning but he doesn’t always know the right thing to say, and I’m exceptionally sensitive to feedback of any sort from him regarding weight, eating, and body issues. It took us a while to figure this out but now I just ask him to not try to help me with weight/eating issues. I just know I’ll be more successful without that element affecting me, and it’ll also be better for our relationship.
If the writer-inner wants someone to discuss this with, she’s welcome to email me!
Also, you guys shouldn’t apologize to us for talking about your bullet journal. Just like you guys started talking about parenting way more over the last few years, and Andy kept talking about beverages a while back, you’re at your best when you’re sharing what you’re most excited about. Another option: Totally Bullet Journal? 😀 I just started one after hearing all this talk about them, so I’d definitely listen especially if you were hosting it.
