Dear LFTP: the boyfriend's uncomfortably hard bed and couch

• How do I tell my boyfriend his expensive bed and couch are too uncomfortable to sleep on?

A host hands the advice segment to Mike ("Alright. Mike, let's give some advice") and a host reads the Dear LFTP letter: a woman in a tumultuous-but-currently-good relationship cannot sleep on her boyfriend's expensive bed or couch and asks how to tell him to replace them. The hosts' counsel: she shouldn't be spending the night anyway ("sin is an uncomfortable cushion, my man"), and if she is talking this way about the couch the man is the real problem — when you are in love, a box of thumbtacks would do. Comedy follows about remarriage deal-breakers (mayonnaise, Tide detergent), picking couches by who uses them most, and whether it is "okay to Anne Frank that couch" — i.e., lie about it to be kind. The Secular answer advises telling him plainly the mattress hurts her back, inviting him to her place so he won't feel rejected — which the hosts mock as coddling ("patting him on the head saying, you a good boy").
