Episode 3
Alongside Him – The Transition
Three men. Three different relationship stages. One conversation we don't often have.
Married, engaged and single, three men, three perspectives, and an honest conversation about the women who shape their lives.
Join Abi on Working Her Out as she explores the unique dynamic between the woman who brings you into the world and the woman you choose to share your world with.
Through candid reflections, humour and heartfelt insights, these men share their thoughts on love, loyalty, expectations and the sometimes complicated space between mothers and partners.
What changes when another woman becomes central to a son’s life? How do love, relationships and loyalties evolve? And where can curiosity and understanding help everyone find their place?
Because it’s not about choosing between two women you love. It’s about understanding the place each holds in your life.
Real men. Real perspectives. Conversations worth having.
