On part two of “Finding Your Stage 5 Clinger,” I interview Megan’s husband Will Rippetoe to get his perspective. Will takes us on his online dating journey, beginning with 100+ dates that included a tear-inducing first kiss and a second date ultimatum, and concluding with the OkCupid match that finally drove him to delete the apps. Will reveals how his inner Stage 5 Clinger was born out of an immediate desire to lock things down in pursuit of a lifelong relationship with Megan, and how clear and consistent communication were critical to helping them overcome the difficulties posed by distance. Along the way, Will shares his hot takes, like the reason he prioritizes new female friendships over new bromances, why nothing has changed since he’s gotten married, and how having a puppy is harder than having a baby. The episode wraps with a game of Red Flag or Dealbreaker – doggy style.
