Relationships Personal Journals

Season 1

Is Emotional Cheating Still Cheating?

We talked about emotional affairs vs physical affairs, hosting our first house party, and how Alexis failed her first driving test.

6 Years Together & My Nigerian Husband Doesn’t Celebrate Valentine’s Day

Is this a typical behavior for Nigerian men, or is my husband just different? We've been together for 6 years, and he still doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day.

We deserve nice things on regular days too

You deserve to treat yourself to nice things every day, not just on special days or occasions. In this episode, we talked about our experience treating ourselves to a spa day and how worried we are about raising kids in this internet era.

Our Love Story, How We Met, Proposing and Getting Married

We've been married for over four (4) years, but we've known each other for way longer. This episode is about our love story. How we met, dating, proposing, and getting married.

Bare minimum in relationships, hosting family, and Alexis has SERIOUS beef with nail salons

What is the barest minimum in relationships? In this episode, we talked about expectations for men/women when dating. We also discussed our most recent experience of hosting the family, and Alexis did not hold back from expressing her frustration with nail salons.

Getting tested for STDs, starting a family, and why opposite gender friendship is complicated

From Alexis thanking God that she did not test positive for STD, to talking about the fear of starting a family and becoming a parent, this episode is a little bit chaotic, as we wrap up the episode with why friendship with the opposite gender never works.

He Checked My Phone, Snitching on Cheating Friends, and Furniture Excitement

Is checking your partner’s phone a red flag… or just due diligence? When we first started dating, Augustus checked Alexis’s phone and didn’t see it as a privacy violation — to him, it was a necessary background check. Alexis strongly disagreed. In this episode, we unpack phone privacy, trust, cultural expectations, and where boundaries should exist in relationships. This isn’t about right vs wrong, it’s about perspective. Do you believe couples should have phone privacy, or full transparency?

Leaving Your Partner Stranded, Making the Bed, and Walking out on a date

Should spouses rely on each other for simple, basic things, or should they be able to handle themself? A conversation about independence, expectations in relationships.

Dancing with Strangers, Kissing Babies Too Early, and Other Unspoken Marriage Rules

In our debut episode, we kick things off by sharing why we decided to start this podcast in the first place and the meaning behind its name. From there, we dive straight into a conversation that has been bothering us for a while: adults kissing babies on the lips. Is it harmless? Is it cultural? And at what age does it become uncomfortable? We unpack all of it with honesty, humor, and a little bit of chaos. We also get into the realities of navigating interactions with in-laws, including the subtle tensions, unspoken expectations, and funny misunderstandings that come with merging families. Finally, we explore the culture of respect in Nigerian households — what it looks like, how we were raised, and how those expectations show up in adulthood and marriage. It’s candid, it’s opinionated, and it’s the perfect introduction to who we are and what this podcast will feel like moving forward.
