**The Break Up Break Down**

When True Love feels more like a True Crime Story….Abby is ready to investigate! Breaking Up is hard to do (obviously) but it’s even harder when social media is involved. If your relationship is on display, people are noticing…especially when it ends. We talk to couples and individuals about their break ups. What went wrong? What things did they work through to try and make it work? We’ll learn from them and take valuable lessons from their experience while sharing a laugh (or cry) along the way.

Show notes

On your wedding day, the last thing you're expecting is for your fiancee to walk in and cancel on you. Like, could we not have had this conversation two years ago?! This ex-bride says that's exactly what happened to her. After she attended her wedding (alone) she thought that was the end, but a few months later she'd get a call from him that would send her spiraling.
