    EP#197: How to Stop Having The Same Fights Over & Over Again with Andrea Dindinger
    Sep 16 2025
    In this episode of The Open Bedroom Podcast, I talk with Andrea Dindinger, a veteran marriage and family therapist, about why couples have the same arguments repeatedly—often over small issues like running late or household chores. Andrea explains these fights usually mask deeper needs for love, respect, and connection. We discuss relationship archetypes, emotional triggers, and practical tools like “bookmarking” conflicts. Our conversation offers actionable advice for breaking negative cycles, improving communication, and turning recurring disagreements into opportunities for greater intimacy and understanding.Timestamps by PodSqueezeCertainly!

  • EP#195: The Third Perspective: Navigating Life as the Unicorn with Alley

    EP#195: The Third Perspective: Navigating Life as the Unicorn with Alley
    Sep 2 2025

    In this episode of The Open Bedroom Podcast, I interview Alley, the first “third” (a person joining a couple) featured on the show. Alley shares her candid experiences as a third in a polyamorous triad, discussing communication challenges, emotional complexities, and the importance of clear boundaries and self-awareness.

    Our conversation explores misconceptions about thirds, the need for honest dialogue, and the realities of navigating love, jealousy, and logistics in ethical non-monogamy. Both Alley and I emphasize treating all partners as equals and highlight the ongoing growth required in open relationships.
