- Should I leave my emotionally unavailable boyfriend Ron for my affectionate coworker Dan?
A Dear LFTP letter: a woman in a three-year relationship with Ron, who is emotionally unavailable and married to his job (two years to say 'I love you'), has begun an intimate relationship with her coworker Dan, who is openly affectionate. The hosts agree Ron is going nowhere and she should cut him loose, but pivot: if Dan tolerates her cheating on Ron, he isn't the man she wants either — 'I'm either the only dude in your life or I'm not in your life.' They land the broader principle: what you tolerate is what you cultivate; a good man won't tolerate shenanigans, and a good woman won't either. The Secular answer is read, and the hosts' version of it is that she should break up with Ron and then Dan should break up with her.
