Would You Still Love Me If I Looked Different?

The way you look can completely change over the course of a relationship. Maybe your weight has fluctuated. Or you’ve drastically changed your style. Maybe you’ve been in an accident. Maybe you’re dealing with an illness or taking medication that’s changed your physicality and features. In this episode, we want to explore what it’s like when you or a partner looks different from when you first started dating - and how it affects the relationship.
