If your partner cheated or was abusive, you'd probably "Bye, boy" him immediately. When we think of the "big" relationship issues, we tend to focus on a few common issues. However, there are relationship land-mines that come in the form of expectations.  And many times, we don't discuss these expectations until we are faced with the fallout. What would you do if your partner expects you to follow strictly traditional gender roles? Or what if he demands that you put his career ahead of yours? In this episode we analyze two specific relationship situations and give our two cents on how these ladies should proceed.
