306. Work Ruining Your Sex Life & Pick Your Poison: Marriage, Sex & Dealbreakers

Can a good marriage survive a season of bad—or barely existent—sex? And when does a relationship problem become an actual dealbreaker?

This week, Jordyn is answering more listener questions about marriage, sex, mismatched libido, intimacy and relationship struggles, including one listener whose husband's promotion and longer work hours have completely changed their sex life. When work, parenting, exhaustion and real life leave you feeling more like roommates—or ships passing in the night—how do you reconnect without making sex feel like another chore?

Jordyn talks about why long-term relationships naturally go through different seasons, why a temporary dry spell doesn't automatically mean your marriage is broken, and the difference between accepting an ebb and flow versus ignoring a relationship that desperately needs some water.

Then it's time for Pick Your Poison: Relationship Edition—because apparently "would you rather" wasn't chaotic enough.

There are no good answers, and you are absolutely NOT allowed to say "neither."

We're getting into impossible relationship choices involving cheating, emotional affairs, sex, attraction, mismatched sex drives, fantasies, phones, marriage, work-life balance and relationship dealbreakers. Play along and decide which poison you'd pick…then argue about it with your partner.
