Bras, Bites and Bedroom Battles EP 010

This week on Don’t Call Me Darling, Niall and Karen Boylan tackle the questions every couple thinks about but probably should not ask.

Should you ever reveal your “magic number,” or is your sexual history one figure best buried with the exes? Is sharing your location a sign of trust, or simply twenty four hour surveillance with a loving smile? They also discuss how much sex is “normal” in a marriage, and what happens when one partner wants far more intimacy than the other.

Niall explains why supermarkets seem deliberately designed to separate couples, and why the most loving thing a man can do when his wife goes clothes shopping is leave immediately and keep his opinions to himself. They also ask whether money really buys happiness after spotting a wealthy, glamorous couple who looked absolutely miserable, although Niall admits he would still prefer to be miserable in a large house with the heating on.

Karen reveals her latest collection of mystery insect bites, while they debate whether looking through your partner’s phone should be grounds for divorce and whether working from home is quietly destroying relationships. There is also the important business of naming the pandas at Fota Wildlife Park, although Niall is not entirely convinced they are actually pandas, plus why Karen can never successfully surprise him.

Real marriage, real stories, real laughs and real truths, with plenty more along the way.
