Dating During Divorce, Lost Attraction & Leading a Dominant Partner
In this episode of Tonight’s Conversation, live from Dallas, the panel tackles three loaded relationship questions. First, a woman asks if it’s appropriate to date someone in the process of divorce. The discussion unpacks the emotional risks, the grief that comes with endings, and why it’s often best to give space until the ink is dry. Next, a woman admits she’s lost physical attraction to her great-provider boyfriend just three months into living together. The hosts dig into settling, the difference between safety and synergy, and whether the problem lies with the partner—or within yourself. Finally, a newlywed man seeks advice on leading his dominant wife who’s still healing from past trauma. The conversation covers trust-building, passive leadership, servant leadership, and knowing when it’s time to pivot if your styles don’t align.
