Derek had a whole wife. And nobody told her.

This is the difference between privacy and secrecy in relationships and it is the most devastating example on television.

A dismissive avoidant attachment style does not just affect the person who has it. It rewires everyone around them.

There's a difference between privacy and secrecy in relationships that most people don't understand and it costs them dearly.

Privacy is your inner world that you share as trust deepens.

Secrecy is intentional withholding that manipulates your partner's reality.

One builds intimacy. The other detonates it.

Derek Shepherd was married. Everyone at Seattle Grace knew. Meredith was the only one left in the dark.

Privacy protects you. Secrecy protects you at someone else's expense.

My new blog breaks down privacy vs secrecy, dismissive avoidant attachment, communication issues in relationships, and why desire without honesty is manipulation.

5 signs you're dating a dismissive avoidant:

They deactivate intimacy almost entirely
You're getting breadcrumbed
They make you feel needy for wanting basic information
They give you information, not intimacy
There's a massive intimacy imbalance

The question to ask: Is this person moving closer over time? Or staying exactly the same distance no matter what you do?
You're only as needy as your most unmet need. Your emotional needs are never too much.

This episode was made in 2005. And I want to name that the episode frames Meredith as needy.

A lot of stories were told that way when women ask men they're dating for emotional closeness, they're looked at as needy, demanding, emotional, annoying, desperate.

I want to call that s**t out right now.

Because it is 100% okay for you to ask the person you are dating, partnered with, or married to, for more emotional closeness.

And I want to name that the ask is never unreasonable.

To ask somebody you want to build intimacy with for more emotional intimacy is totally okay. I cannot speak to if they have the capacity, the willingness, or the desire to give it to you. I don't know.

But the ask is always okay.

You're only as needy as your most unmet need. And if you need more from your partner, it just means you need more from your partner. That's information. Not a character flaw.

This week's podcast episode breaks down dismissive avoidant attachment, emotionally unavailable men, and why your needs are never too much.

Her eyelash came off during s*x and landed on his forehead. It stayed there the entire time while she silently panicked and tried to remove her other one so they would match.

This week's Funny as F*ck Fridays is funny on the surface and genuinely important underneath. Because distraction during s*x and s*xual anxiety are two of the most common intimacy issues people experience and almost nobody talks about them. This week we laugh, we cringe, and we actually learn something about being present in your body during s*x.

Her eyelash fell off during s*x.

It landed on his forehead.

It stayed there the entire time.

And she spent the rest of it trying to remove her OTHER eyelash so they would match.

This week's Funny as F*ck Fridays is about s*xual anxiety, why distraction during s*x is so much more common than anyone admits, and why laughing at yourself is always the right answer.
