#37 - How To Long Distance Relationship w/ The BF

It's been a minute since we've talked about dating, a favorite FOA topic that never ever seems to lose its confounding relevance, amirite? It could all be so simple, two people meeting, feeling each other out, spending time together, building a connection, then continuing to grow together or maturely parting ways. HA! IF ONLY. But let's be honest, the beauty of love and all the complex ways we approach it keeps life interesting, fun, and if anything, entertaining. That's how Minji would frame it (on a good day). This supersized episode is all about weathering long distance relationships, thanks to a laughably questionable how-to listacle courtesy of The Internet. To help her discuss this topic, Minji brings on her new long distance boyfriend, Kenji. Together they review advice on how to survive a long distance relationship, and break it down with their respective thoughts.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
