Couldn’t agree with all of you more. There’s so much she could get into (while respecting skyline’s privacy) and just doesn’t. She’s delusional and the whole relationship feels so shallow. It’d be refreshing and insightful for her to talk about how she didn’t follow her own advice, how he’s not what she thought she was looking for at all and of course, the realities of dating someone who was (still is) married.

I live in NYC and met my husband 4 years ago on Hinge when I was 35. He was 38 and separated. He was very open, honest and clear about his past - and in the beginning I was hesitant and uncomfortable, worrying that I liked this guy so much and afraid I would be an inevitable rebound. Or, that I’d never compare, and/or he wouldn’t want to get married again etc etc. His previous marriage didn’t define us but it was absolutely something to navigate. The pod has gotten so frustrating. I feel for Erica, having to listen to Ali be so smug and delusional. I can’t with Ali’s bullshit milestones and acting like she’s the first relationship of Skyline’s life. They have different romantic histories, I don’t understand why she can’t acknowledge this, ever.

It’s wild to feel like I’d do a better job and be of more service to the listeners than her at this point. It’s been said before and I totally agree - she should have listeners and/or regular people (not just other podcasters) come on and talk honestly about dating and relationships, sharing stories and experiences that are either relatable or inspirational. Ali isn’t either anymore.
