Kaitlynn and Ashley dig into the complicated topic of toxicity in relationships. Discussion about past relationships and toxic traits each has done or been a victim of are the main focus. The goal is to recognize these traits early on in ourselves and our partners to ensure that no matter what baggage you bring to the table, you also have a responsibility to care about the mental and emotional health of your partner. Going through your partner's phone or journal, while it may be tempting, is never a great idea. Communication is key to a successful, healthy relationship.
