Are AI Relationships the NEW ROMANTIC NORM?

Are AI relationships the new romantic norm? In this episode of the Legacy Journeys Podcast, Liv and Carlton explore the intersection of love, technology, and trust in modern relationships.

We dive deep into two provocative topics:

🧠 1. The Allure of AI Relationships

Inspired by the Psychology Today article "Romance Without Risk", we discuss how artificial intelligence is stepping into the role of emotional partner. Can an AI really fulfill our need for love and intimacy? What does it mean for dating over 40 when machines seem to “understand” us better than people do?

💔 2. Is It Okay If Your Partner Is Still Friends With Their Ex?

We break down insights from VeryWellMind’s article on whether staying connected to a former partner is a red flag or a mature boundary. When does emotional closeness become emotional cheating? How do you create healthy boundaries in relationships — especially in marriage or second-time-around love?

In this honest and unfiltered conversation, we cover:

- The psychology of AI relationships and emotional connection

- Boundaries in marriage and dating after divorce

- Whether being friends with an ex is harmless… or harmful

- How to build trust, communicate, and grow together in midlife love

If you're navigating relationships over 40, this episode is for you.
