In this episode of the Dear Men Podcast, host Melanie Curtin and I discuss the challenges of expressing one’s needs and wants in a relationship. We explore the importance of open communication, making requests, and teaching our partners how to love us. We share some examples and suggestions for navigating difficult conversations and making adjustments in order to deepen connection and meet each other’s needs!
I log anonymous usage events: a random session ID (stored in your browser until you tap "Start fresh"), which chip you clicked, how long responses take, what kinds of content I found for you, whether you clicked a recommendation, and the general topic of the conversation (like "divorce" or "purpose") picked from a fixed list. The text of our conversation is not stored in my analytics.
Your messages are processed by Anthropic's Claude AI to write my replies. Our conversation history lives in your browser's local storage, not on a server, and "Start fresh" erases it. I do not set cookies, send anything to Google Analytics, or store your IP address. Full details are in the privacy policy.
