The laughs hit first, but the truths land deeper. We brought the Men of Virago back to the table after a long gap to compare notes on love, loss, growth, and how to build a partnership that lasts. Justin shares career wins and the shock of discovering anxiety through therapy, Philip balances thriving work with the grief of losing loved ones, and Milky—now deep into dental school—opens up about finding love when he least expected it.
From there we dive into the framework that keeps relationships steady: a soulmate list to clarify non-negotiables, core values that outlast chemistry, and the messy reality of boundaries with opposite-sex friendships. Is exchanging numbers worth the risk to trust? How does omission become a slow leak in intimacy? We don’t preach; we dissect the gray areas and offer practical rules that actually help. Radical transparency beats secrecy. Perception matters because your partner’s reality matters. If it would look shady on camera, don’t do it.
We also rethink apologies and forgiveness. A quick “sorry” without changed behavior is just noise. Real repair looks like action, transparency, and the discipline not to weaponize old wounds. Emotional intelligence threads through it all—the ability to see your part in conflict, share hard truths with kindness, and choose growth over being right. We even tackle the question everyone ducks: how honest is too honest? The filter we use is simple and hard to argue with—speak the truth with love and be kind, or wait until you can.
We close with what we want most for 2026: time with the people who matter, renewed purpose at work, deeper faith, better habits, and relationships we’re proud to maintain. If you’re navigating commitment, setting boundaries, or trying to repair trust, this conversation offers a clear, human roadmap for doing it with heart.
