I wanted to be physically intimate with you 50% less often? How about 75% less often? 3. I had to move somewhere 3000 miles away for a year, which meant we’d be in a long-distance relationship? 4. I changed my mind about having kids with you, wanting the opposite of what we originally planned. 5. I told you that I cheated on you once at the start of the relationship but never did it again because I felt horrible. 6. I either became devoutly religious or devoutly atheist. 7. I decided to stop using social media and get rid of my smartphone. In fact, I’m only going to use a dumb phone, and I need you to do the same, or I won’t stay with you. 8. I decided to quit my job, take out a huge loan, go back to school, and pursue a PhD that would take five years to complete. 9. I wanted to become a social media influencer and podcaster, sharing personal stories that often come from our relationship and time together. 10. I became really good friends with someone you hated.

| 96. Facing Rejection | 25 Mar 2024 | 01:16:43 | |
Rejection has always been the hardest pill for us all to swallow. It bears such a negative weight when we feel as though someone you show such interest in just doesn’t share that same interest in return. We then find ourselves questioning what it is about us that could be wrong. But nothing is wrong with you!! Once we accept the fact that we aren’t for everyone just like everyone isn’t for us.. rejection becomes a lot less personal.

| 95. Questioning My Sexuality | 11 Mar 2024 | 01:06:20 | |
Curiosity is heavy during our teenage years because we’re trying to find our identity. Those are the years where we are introduced to friendships, relationships, sex, and maybe even questioning our sexuality. As we get older we still learn how to navigate through all those things because no matter how old we are we still find ourselves searching for our identities as we continue to grow. - Is sexuality a spectrum? - Do you have to limit yourself to a label? - Is it because of growing up in a heteronormative society? Family meeting: 1. " I was with a guy/married for 10 years, came out as gay a year ago & left him. Since being out of that relationship, I have realized that he is a huge narcissist and emotionally abused me. He used to say I had saggy boobs to the point I had a breast reduction, big thighs, big arms, etc." 2. "I feel like I am being tested in my life/career. I just graduated with my masters degree & started a new job but I have never felt so lost and alone than I do right now."

| 94. Queer Baiting | 04 Mar 2024 | 01:09:23 | |
What do you consider queer bating? In EP 94 we discuss queer baiting which is when someone uses the possibility of a queer relationship or queer representation to get audiences to watch a show/movie, etc... but they never actually follow through with it. We go into different examples (Karol G, Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, etc) as well as the history on queer baiting in the 1940’s-1960’s with the “Lavender Scare”.

Society has put a lot of pressure on the importance of family. Having loving parents, sharing happy memories with your siblings, feeling safe and protected by the ones you share blood with.. However, that isn’t the version of "family" that everyone gets to experience.

We “pray” and “move on ''. Very often they will bring up the topic of LGBTQ and say hateful things to intentionally hurt me(they are all very Christian). " 2. "Do you have lesbian friends that don’t want kids? As a childfree lesbian I feel bombarded by breeders, even in the LGBTQ community."

| 90. Queer Dating Icks FT Brennah | 11 Dec 2023 | 01:14:23 | |
In this week's episode we welcome our friend Brennah back to Les Chat to deep dive into the tragedies of lesbian dating. Brennah shares some details about how her dating journey has been going and we run through a list of dating icks. The best advice Brennah wanted to leave with us is that letting go of expectations could make dating less tragic. You don't need to find you person right away. Have fun and get to know yourself in the process. Family Meeting: 1. Can y'all talk about WHY we have this weird dating trend where people talk for 3/4 months and then never speak again? 2. My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 4 months already. I just found out that she has still kept contact with her past fling.
