What happens when one partner is ready to build a future, but the other continuously shuts down every conversation about marriage, housing, and finances? In the twenty-fifth episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo address a deeply personal viewer DM from an anonymous listener ("Alice") who finds herself at a crossroads: at age 33, her 39-year-old partner wants to delay all serious milestone discussions for another three years.


Rooted in the clinical research of Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman, the couple unpacks why avoiding future-oriented conversations sends an unspoken message of insecurity and breaks down trust. The discussion explores the "Pursuer-Distancer Dynamic”, the exhausting cycle where one partner’s urgent search for clarity causes the other to retreat, and evaluates how Singapore's unique "BTO Pressure Cooker" forces couples to make accelerated life choices.
