Ep. 79 - Boy School, Girl School: Learning to Understand Each Other with Naomi Jordan and Martin Pemberton
Why do two people who genuinely care about each other so often end up feeling misunderstood?In this episode of Dateless in Delray, Susan Shoer sits down with relationship and intimacy specialists Naomi Jordan and Martin Pemberton, co-creators of The Space Between® Approach, to explore the invisible lessons men and women learn about love long before they ever enter a relationship.They call it "Boy School" and "Girl School"—the unspoken emotional education that shapes how we communicate, handle conflict, express vulnerability, and seek connection. Through humor, honesty, and real-life examples, Naomi and Martin reveal why so many relationship struggles aren't caused by incompatibility, but by two very different emotional languages colliding.Whether you're dating, married, divorced, or looking for love after 50, this eye-opening conversation will help you better understand yourself, your partner, and why good people can keep missing each other—even when love is there.
