Sonia and Simon · Why Your “Type” Is Ruining Your Love Life | Paul Eastwick · 24 May 2026 podcast

It's hard to offer advice about exactly what somebody should do in this situation because it's hard to weigh their future happiness, even if it's their long-term future extreme happiness.

against the short term and maybe even medium or long term costs of losing those investments.

I mean, there will be some people who will say it would be too painful for me to be apart from my kids on a daily basis for me to do that.

I would rather like endure this unsatisfying relationship.

So I think in terms of like advice or like what I would say to a friend in this situation is I would try to focus on like how happy is my friend and are they not really themselves anymore?

Because it's very hard for me to know exactly what's going on in somebody else's relationship or their full context.

But if that person seems like like you're not the happy person that you used to be.

You know, personally, I would tend to craft my advice around that.

Yeah, it's interesting.

I mean, I see these trends.

I think that, you know, you see these trends in sort of the, I would say, greater acceptance of polyamory, greater appreciation of that polyamory.

mode of having relationships.

I think that's all a wonderful thing.

I think also the idea that we have a greater acceptance of people being single now.

You don't have to be partnered to be happy.

So I think there is a real reduction in stigma today that allows people to find lifestyles that better suit them.

I think as well, like the bonded attached relationship isn't really likely to be going anywhere.

But I'm always compelled to point out, look, the thing I believe about humans is that we are creatures that bond.

And we bond in romantic context.

We bond in platonic context, too.
