Dr. Jaimie takes us from the spark of a rom-com-worthy meet-cute to a slow-burn realization that her partner might be dodging dinner dates and subtly relying on her to foot the bill. From intermittent fasting excuses to rent-controlled revelations and the infamous "solace in the philosophy" text, this is a story about money, pride, vulnerability, and the weird ways ambition can complicate connection. Jared and Jordana unpack the red flags and ask the big question: when is it okay to support your partner financially? Can transparency about money actually build intimacy?
