from 2021-08-31T15:24:05
Dr. Rob and Tami answer some of your burning questions in this week’s episode. A listener writes in and asks if experiencing sex withdrawals after 13 days is normal, another is seeking advice and solace for being ridiculed by their siblings that they go to therapy, and Dr. Rob and Tami weigh in on what to do when a partner wants to manage all the finances, especially after a large betrayal. All this and more!
