Can long-term relationships do more harm than good? Where is the line between intimacy and codependence? And should we all try to be more like Mike’s parents?
Mayfy.
We're all in a simulation.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Mike Mann, and you're listening to.
No stupid questions today on the show.
Are long term relationships worth it?
Grow up.
Try to find your soulmate, and your life will go to hell.
Mike, today I want to talk to you about a question that our producer raised in a conversation I was having with her recently.
So, do you want to know what's on Rebecca's mind?
I do.
I always want to know what's on Rebecca's mind.
So, I was talking to Rebecca about this article that she came across.
It's from the annual review of clinical Psychology, which is, like, kind of the Encyclopedia of research as it stands today.
And the title, the article is pathology in relationships.
And the most surprising thing, I think, in this review is that there are data.
You know, there are studies that suggest that relationships can be triggers for psychopathology, like the opposite of what we've been taught.
Sorry.
Which means what?
I don't know that I know what psychopathology means.
