This week we\\u2019re discussing whether other people\\u2019s relationships are your business. Though it can be helpful to get relationship advice, sometimes people offer unsolicited relationship advice when you feel as though it\\u2019s none of their business, so we break down when it\\u2019s acceptable to give relationship advice, who it\\u2019s acceptable to do it with and the reasons why you might comment on someone else\\u2019s relationship.

We begin the episode with a segment where we ask you whether you think it\\u2019s appropriate for other people to comment on your relationship. We then hear what the most helpful, and unhelpful, relationship advice you\\u2019ve received is, and a little bit more about when you guys think it\\u2019s acceptable for you to comment on someone\\u2019s relationship, or for them to comment on yours.

We then move on to the who, what, when and why of it all. We being by asking who can give relationship advice? We ponder whether certain friends can, and if it\\u2019s okay for random family members to give you advice, before discussing when and why you should give relationship advice- for example if someone asks for help or asks for your specific take on a situation, or if it\\u2019s alright to always have an opinion on your friends partners. We tell you about our own experiences offering each other advice, or what we think is helpful advice, and how to set boundaries when your friends and family are providing you with unhelpful commentary on your relationship. Finally, we discuss if you think your friend is in an unhealthy relationship, and how to deal with that by offering them your stance and trying to help them see the situation as it really is.

We hope you enjoy the episode, that you seek relationship advice whenever you truly need it, and that you don\\u2019t receive any advice that makes you feel worse about your relationship than you need to!
