The Jury Rules
Long-Term Relationships
Trust, space, exes, and the arguments couples keep having.
- Is it ever okay to check your partner's phone?4–1VerdictNo — and the urge to check is the real conversation, not whatever's on the phone.
- Is it okay to stay close friends with an ex?3–2VerdictYes — if it's transparent, boundaried, and your current partner isn't the last to know.
- Is wanting space in a relationship a red flag?5–0VerdictNo — space is maintenance, not a warning. How you ask for it is what matters.
