Description

We say we want emotionally available partners, but what happens when the "Strong" facade breaks?In this episode of Old Fashioned Friends, Faith and Christine are joined by the insightful Abisola to have a conversation that many of us shy away from. We start with a story that shook the internet: a woman who encouraged her husband to be vulnerable, only to realize she lost respect for him once he actually opened up.Why do we recoil when men show pain? And for Black women, when did being "strong" stop being a compliment and start becoming a prison?We’re deconstructing the emotional rules we were all taught to follow and asking the hard questions about what it costs us to keep it all inside.

Paternity Fraud: When Trust and Biology Collide | Episode 14

What makes a father? Is it the DNA, or the years of showing up?In this episode of Old Fashioned Friends, we dive into one of the most sensitive and polarizing topics in modern relationships: Paternity Fraud. From the viral clips of paternity court to the heartbreaking reality of men discovering the truth years later, we’re unpacking the emotional, legal, and cultural layers of this global issue.We ask the questions most people are afraid to touch:👉 Is a request for a DNA test an insult to trust, or a search for peace of mind?👉 How does a child’s identity shift when the truth comes out?👉 Should paternity fraud be a criminal offense?👉 Can a relationship—or a family—ever truly recover?This isn't just about cheating; it’s about the aftermath that changes lives forever. Join us for a deep, honest, and unfiltered conversation.Join the Conversation:We want to hear from you in the comments. Is asking for a DNA test "radical," or should it be a mandatory part of the birth process to protect everyone involved? Let’s talk about it.
