Love Uncovered

While staying safe at home, Robyn and Phil have found some productive ways to pass the time: eating carbs, watching Disney+, and trying not to get too frustrated with each other! Join us as we talk about that and meander through several other pandemic-related tangents.

Robyn and Phil dive into the new-ish Netflix show Love is Blind and discuss strategies for effective arguing, when is the best time to share a secret, and whether it matters if you can see your potential mate if there is a probability they will be conventionally attractive anyway.

We also have a new segment where we pick an issue that we don’t see eye to eye on and debate who’s way is better. Today’s debate: the correct sandwich ratio.

Statistics say that over 1/3 of couples list money as their biggest point of contention in their relationship. Phil and Robyn have never had a single fight about money, so after a boring date at the bank, they decided to talk about how managing money in your relationship doesn’t have to be stressful.

Just like physical health, we all have mental health and we have good days and bad days. So why is it so much easier to tell your partner when you have a headache and ask them to bring you a Tylenol, than it is to say that you’re feeling depressed and need something more?

In this episode, Phil and Robyn discuss some of their own mental health challenges and chat about how they’ve learned to navigate those hurdles when one of them is having a bad day (or month).

Romantic comedies are a theatrical staple. They tug at our heartstrings, they make us laugh, they make us cry, they make us…cringe

We fully acknowledge that there’s a lot about rom coms that can be problematic they are most often white, super hetero-normative, and filled with tropes that teach very wrong ideas about love. And yet, even knowing all that, there are some that hold special places in our hearts.

On the first episode of Season 2 of Love Uncovered, Phil and Robyn discuss their favourite rom coms, why they stick with us, and they look at some of the issues that seem to be integral to the genre.

Relationships look very different as they progress from brand new to very old. That’s ok! In fact, it’s totally normal.

In this episode of Love Uncovered, Phil and Robyn walk you through 3 of the main phases of love: Infatuation, intimacy, and companionate. We talk about the good and the bad of each phase and share how we’ve worked our way through them. We also talk about boobs. Like, a lot.

Vacations are supposed to be fun but sometimes travelling with your significant other can be super stressful. Spending long hours together in unfamiliar settings, sometimes confined to small spaces, and expecting everything to be perfect can be a recipe for disaster.

In this episode of Love Uncovered, Phil and Robyn offer some tips to help keep your relationship as strong at the end of the trip as it was at the beginning. From being flexible in your plans, being open to new experiences, scheduling in some alone time, and demystifying hotel sex, we are here to help navigate some of the pitfalls of travelling with your partner (It also gives us an excuse to talk about our recent trip to Ireland).

Could you date someone who wore socks with sandals? What if your potential mate kept a pet tarantula? Could you love someone who casually tosses around racial slurs? We all have relationship dealbreakers – whether they speak to the very essence of a person or smaller quirks that you simply couldn’t live with.

In Episode 3 of Love Uncovered, Phil and Robyn discuss some of their dealbreakers, and if dealbreakers can help or hinder a new relationship. We also have the benefit of some of our listeners sharing their own personal dealbreakers.

We’d love to hear some of your dealbreakers, or any ideas you might have for future episodes! Reach out to us on Twitter @Love_Uncovered, or to Phil and Robyn @baconhound and @MedusaBeth.

And a special thanks to Brittney, Twyla, Avery, Tamara, and Sean for sharing their dealbreakers with us!

Does everyone have that one perfect person who completes them and will bring them a joy that they have never experienced before? Does that person have to be a sexual partner? Is it possible to have more than one perfect person in your life? At the same time?

On this episode of Love Uncovered, Robyn and Phil discuss all of these questions and more with the help of cultural anthropology expert, Katie Biittner.

What do you think about the idea of a soulmate? Could you enter into a polyamorous relationship? Reach out to us on Twitter @Love_Uncovered, or to Phil and Robyn @baconhound and @MedusaBeth.

If you want to hear more from Katie, you can find her on Twitter @KBiittner.
