The 15th Guest: A 38-year-old female writer

Her non-traditional approach to romance is truly refreshing.

Love is often discussed as something that follows a specific script, but our guest questions the very notion of a 'standard' romantic relationship. She reflects on her experiences, suggesting that it is perfectly fine to have periods in life without romance, and even when in a relationship, it does not necessarily need to be 'fixed' or conventional. Her insights are profoundly thought-provoking.

She shares her discomfort with the conventional concept of lovers.

Drawing on an episode from her past marriage to a free spirit, she recounts how she initially feared being cheated on, only to discover a surprising twist where she ended up being the 'other woman' in the situation. Her unique sense of emotional distance, where she felt no desire to bind her partner even while married, is sure to resonate with listeners in many different ways.

As she explores the psychology behind why she was able to remain in love with a particular individual for such a long time, a single remark she makes brings the conversation to its core.
