You Should Lie To Your Partner | EP 40 | We, TheIntellectuals Podcast

Is Radical Honesty Ruining Your Relationship?
Inspired by a profound 1971 conversation between James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni, Jem elaborates on Giovanni's idea on how people are to their partners vs how they are to the world.
We delve into the dynamic intersection of integrity, empathy, and connection within romantic partnerships. From societal pressures on black men in the 1970s to modern-day relationship dynamics, this discussion is both challenging, enlightening, and entertaining.
Join us for an engaging conversation that questions the essence of trust, love, and what it means to truly connect with your partner. Is being brutally honest is truly beneficial or can a little deception actually strengthen your bond.
