Does getting attached mean losing your social life? In the tenth episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo examine the "dyadic withdrawal” phenomenon, the research-backed tendency for couples to lose close friends once they become a pair.

The episode explores the shift from individual social circles to a merged support system, particularly within the tight-knit "network overlap" of Singapore. The couple shares personal stories about the pressure of integrating as an introvert, the "Vanessa" syndrome of disappearing into a relationship, and the importance of maintaining individual identities while being seen as a "unit." From the red flags of secret opposite-sex friendships to the ethics of venting about your partner to others, this is a lesson in building a community that strengthens, rather than strains, a relationship.
