💬 About This Episode
In today's QUICKIE, Adam & Pris dive into one of those ouch moments almost every couple in the lifestyle has faced:
👉 What do you do when someone makes it crystal clear they're into your spouse… but not into you?
This episode is raw, funny, and a little sting-filled as we unpack:
-
Real stories from our own encounters when attraction wasn't mutual.
-
How being "the partner left out" can stir up jealousy, frustration, or even self-doubt.
-
Why delivery matters — the difference between respectful honesty and underhanded sneaking.
-
The role communication plays in softening the sting (and why sugarcoating sometimes happens).
-
How to handle being iced out, ignored, or overlooked without letting it kill your confidence.
-
Tips for reframing rejection so it doesn't ruin your night — or your relationship.
We don't just talk theory; we get vulnerable about the awkward moments that made us sour, laugh, and learn. And like always, we keep it playful while shining a light on the deeper emotional side of ethical non-monogamy.
🎧 Why Listen?
If you've ever thought "Wait, why don't they want me too?" or if you've had to sit with the sting of rejection in the lifestyle, this episode is for you. We share practical ways to deal with it, plus a few laughs that prove you're not alone.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
