Episode 063: Deal Breakers

By Help Person|April 17, 2018|Show notes, Uncategorized|

Episode 063: Deal Breakers with Leanne & The Boyfriend Welcome back! Leanne and The Boyfriend discuss nut cups at weddings. Leanne wanted to revisit last week’s episode when she mentioned nut cups at weddings. A friend heard Leanne say that and suggested she don’t say it again because nut cups are old and out-dated. Nobody does that anymore. Then The Boyfriend brings up Russel Crow’s jockstrap. Someone raffled it off for $8,000. 3:42 This week’s topic: Deal Breakers. Once you’ve been divorced, do your deal breakers change? And are your deal breakers different for marriage then they are for just dating? The Boyfriend feels that deal breakers change over time. Deal breakers in high school would be different then relationships later in life. Leanne didn’t go to prom with someone with the nickname Satan. She probably wouldn’t date someone who wore Crocs with socks back then. Of course, Crocs didn’t exist then either. Leanne mentions she doesn’t really like black socks with shorts. The Boyfriend said it depends on how short the shorts are. 06:29 Remember Seinfeld? Elaine dated the close talker and many other people with annoying habits. The Boyfriend said bad manners are a deal breaker for him. He doesn’t like it when

Episode 063: Deal Breakers with Leanne & The Boyfriend This episode is all about deal breakers in dating, relationships, and marriage. Being an older woman, I see deal breakers a little different than some of you. They do not relate to my spouse, but I have witnessed some of these with friends and family over the years. Being late and thinking it’s OK Answering or checking their cell phone On the other hand not returning your calls Share your shortcomings with others Obsessed with checking out beautiful women in your presence Bad table manners like getting up and loudly blowing your nose Eating excessive roasted garlic prior to meeting you for dinner or a road trip After eating search for lost food behind your partials or dentures Older men love to be cute and flirt with waitresses Men who don’t trim their bushy eyebrows or long nose hairs No sense of humor Men who don’t know how to dress for different occasions I guess that’s all that comes to mind for now. I just thought I’d clue you younger women in on what you may see as you get older. These are my deal breakers. Each week Mom-nonymous shares her thoughts on the episode. Mom-nonymous is a wife,

Episode 062 There’s No Magic Wand in Marriage with special guest Griff Leanne and The Boyfriend discuss how getting married is not magic. There is no magic wand or magic fairy dust that makes everything awesome. People often get focused on planning a wedding event and gifts, dresses, photos, etc. and forget about taking care of each other in the process. If a relationship isn’t working before the wedding, chances are it’s not going to work after. 07:57 Meet Griff! Griff is a divorcee who happens to be a friend of Leanne’s.
