Committed – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Lischele and Derrick met in college back in 2000. They clicked instantly but never dated. Life took them in different directions. They both married other people, started families, and kept in touch only occasionally over the years. Then, in 2018, a birthday message reopened the door. What followed was a long-distance relationship filled with emotional growth, missed signals, and second chances. In this episode, they share how they built something lasting the second time around and what it was about the timing that finally made it work.

Ciji and Travis spent ten years as each other’s ride-or-die—co-chairs, creative collaborators, best friends—without realizing they were also soulmates. They met through the Urban League of Greater Atlanta as ambitious young professionals and shared countless late-night meetings, speaking gigs, and even a few dates. But it wasn’t until Ciji threw out a curveball and moved to New Orleans that their second-chance romance truly began.

In this episode of Committed, guest host Christine Pride (author of the brand-new second-chance romance All the Men I’ve Loved Again) sits down with CGCijiand Travis to unpack a love story that grew slowly, steadily, and then all at once. It’s about timing, trust, belly laughs and what happens when you finally and boldly choose each other.

Committed is back for season four on April 15th. We have ten new stories of love and marriage, hope and fear, failure and success and all the other messy parts of being a human in the world right now. This season on Committed we bring you a wife who tries to write her legacy for her husband and children after she’s diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. We have the author and activist Glennon Doyle on leaving the husband of her three children for the love of her life, Abby Wambach. And we have a couple who tried so hard to blend their families and live together under one roof, but ultimately found that the secret of their success was in living apart...in houses next door to one another.

We've got these stories and much, much more, including what love and commitment looks like amidst the strangeness of a pandemic.

Today we have an update from an episode we did back in April of last year. In Season Two we talked to Samantha and her wife Laura. The two of them originally fell in love in college. They got married quickly and had four sons. Samantha was born a man, but always felt like something else, always felt like a woman. After thirteen years of marriage Samantha transitioned. When we spoke to Laura and Samantha they were navigating their new relationship as parents, partners and wives. It was an episode about what it takes to stand by your partner as your partner changes into a new person. But relationships are complicated. Marriage is complicated. Last summer the two women realized that they both needed something different from one another. I spoke to Samantha this month about what it is like now for her to navigate her life as a single lesbian woman.

We have more little love stories for you...Three more stories that come from our own listeners. They’re short and sweet and all of them reminded us about the many ways we can commit to one another.

For this episode update we're going back to a show we did with Doree and Matt in season one. Their episode was called Hope is a Dangerous Thing. When we left them Doree and Matt were trying to get pregnant and it wasn’t working for them. They were on their fifth round of IVF and they were both wearing a little thin.

That episode aired in August of 2018. Doree and Matt did do that fifth round of IVF and Doree got pregnant soon after we aired...She had a baby boy, Henry, in April of last year. We talked to them last week about what it's like to finally become parents after trying for so long and what they wish they could tell the two people they were when they started this journey.
