EP 310: Unhinged Reddit Stories Why Do People Stay in Abusive Relationships

⚠️ Content note: this episode includes a frank discussion of abusive relationships and may be heavy for some listeners. Please take care.

Why does someone stay in an abusive relationship? And why does the person hurting them so often walk away fine?

It started with Jawhar and Bharath reading unhinged Reddit stories and it turned into one of the most honest conversations we've had. We talk about abusive relationships, the parts we can't make sense of, and the questions that don't have easy answers. It gets heavy in places and lighter in others. There's a bit on Father's Day, and a tangent about what Reddit would sound like if it could talk. But mostly it's two friends sitting with something difficult and trying to understand it.
