Episode Details

Nikki and Jess join The Professor, Chuck D, and David for a raw conversation about divorce in the lifestyle — what changes, what gets exposed, and what happens when a couple enters swinging with issues already sitting under the surface.

This episode gets into attention, jealousy, insecurity, poly rules, broken boundaries, coming back to the lifestyle after divorce, being seen differently as a single person, and whether the lifestyle actually causes breakups or just shines a light on problems that were already there.
