Caroline called in to ask some advice because she is concerned for her husband's health and quite frankly, her sanity.

He knows what to do and how to approach her husband to get his attention and have him take her seriously. Have you ever had a sleeping issue with your bed partner? How did you work it out?

Claire is in a long distance relationship and they have time set every day to talk on the phone and usually they do facetime. Lately, when they're having their calls Claire says that he's distracted playing a videogame with his friends (remotely in their own homes). They could be mid conversation and he'll tell her to hold on so he can 'kill this guy'. WHAT. Simon is having none of this. He suggested just flat out hanging up on him when he does this but Claire doesn't want to go nuclear. They get to a compromise and find a way for her to express to her boyfriend that while they're apart she wants to be able to have his attention for these few minutes a day and that it shouldn't be too much to ask.

Emma called in because she's a little creeped out by some behavior her boyfriend is exhibiting in the bedroom. She recently discovered that he has a nickname for his private parts and refers to it/them in the third person when they're getting into the zone for ooh lala and it's an instant turnoff for her. Simon actually had a very clear explanation for why he is likely doing this and it's so interesting to get a man's perspective on something like this. Listen in and let us know if you think he's right. Have you ever had a partner have nicknames for their body parts? Did it creep you out or were you okay with it?
