But how much sex is ‘normal’ in relationships? Is there even such a thing as a ‘normal’ amount of sex? (Spoiler: no!) Millie and Cl
Is it ever okay to check your partner’s phone?
Be honest… have you ever sneakily gone through your partner’s phone? What did you find? How did you feel after? Did you regret it, or were you vindicated?
Whatever the reason for it, loads of us have been guilty of having a cheeky little look at our partner’s phone. But, as one reader is asking Millie and Clare this week, is this kind of snooping ever really justified?
It’s a juicy topic —

Love Island’s Jasmine: Does ‘treat them mean, keep them keen’ actually work?
Love Island season 13 runner-up Jasmine G Müller is our question-asker of the week! In the villa this summer, Jasmine became a fan fave for speaking her mind and putting the boys in their place.
When strong women assert themselves like this, they can often be dubbed ‘intimidating’, ‘mean’, or ‘off-putting’ (@ Aidan) – but, as the age-old trope goes, ‘treat them mean, keep them keen’, right? So, t
Your friends hate your partner. Should you listen?
Your friend is criticising your partner or just flat out dislikes them… should you listen? Should they listen if you don’t like theirs?

Are you dating a narcissist?
At some point throughout your dating history, you’ve probably labelled an ex a ‘narcissist’, right...? Maybe they loved the sound of their voice a bit too much or had a habit of putting people down to big themselves up? Yep.

We all know that dating is in the pits RN — we’re burned out from the apps, frustrated by convos that go nowhere, and tired of bad first dates. Too often, it feels like we’re giving a lot and getting, well, not much back.
