We explore a complicated relationship scenario: How would you react if your partner asked to have lunch with an ex? The conversation reveals surprising differences in how people establish boundaries and manage trust in relationships.
• Candice believes reconnecting with former romantic partners crosses a relationship boundary
• Men and women approach the scenario differently – women focus on whether the ex knows about current relationship
• The distinction between "just friends" versus "former lovers" significantly changes most people's comfort levels
• Trust emerges as the central issue – many admit it's not about trusting your partner but distrusting others' motives
• Relationship hypocrisy surfaces – can you maintain opposite-sex friendships while restricting your partner from doing the same?
• The real-life inspiration for the discussion used a passive-aggressive response: "If that's what you want to do, do you"
• Where we draw relationship boundaries reflects our personal insecurities and past experiences

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
