Good grief!

Argument for the sake of argument! He prefers his argument and his right to argue over connection with his mate.

Best episode so far!

This is the most relatable episode I’ve heard so far! Great performances, great story! Thank you!

This is my life

This is my favorite episode by far and has resonated more with me than any other. I love this entire series and I feel like it is helping me learn and grow so much. I don’t know what it is but hearing about other people facing the same problems makes me feel like it is more possible to manage my own. Thank you Esther Perel, Audible and the couples for sharing this with all of us!

These podcasts are AMAZING!

Gosh! These sessions are opening my mind to how marriages go soooo horribly wrong even when 2 people really want it to go right! the information here is GOLD!!! Thank you Esther.

Toxic and mercurial

That these 2 are separated and seeing other people is actually the least of their problems. Hearing the patterns of habitual toxicity by both people here made this the most pessimistic episode from either season of Where Should We Begin. Nothing was revealed about the couple's post-therapy future but I just can't imagine it having ended well. They couldn't even keep from attacking under the best possible circumstances.
