In this episode of Dating with Borders, Teresa and Joe dive into the ups, downs, and surprising nuances of cross-border and long-distance relationships. As per usual, Teresa comes prepared with the episode’s agenda while Joe is blissfully unaware of what’s in store. Together, they explore and debunk some of the common stigmas surrounding long-distance and cross-border dating.

The duo kicks things off by revealing just how far apart they truly are and what each of them considers "long distance." Unsurprisingly, their perspectives couldn’t be more different. Joe then offers an intriguing take, suggesting that some of the most challenging "borders" in a relationship aren’t physical at all but emotional and personal boundaries that exist regardless of geography.

They also tackle the big question: at what point in a long-distance relationship should couples discuss one person relocating? Teresa isn’t shy about asking Joe whether his friends or family have ever created a stigma about him dating a Canadian instead of an American.

To keep things light, Joe shares his “controversial” food deal-breakers—three specific foods that are completely off-limits for him and could even be relationship red flags if his partner loves them. Laughter and a little shock ensue as Teresa reacts!

The conversation then takes a more intimate turn as they discuss whether being in a long-distance relationship speeds up milestones like the first overnight visit or moments of intimacy.

Before wrapping up, Joe and Teresa share their top tips for anyone considering or just starting a long-distance relationship. Their insights, honesty, and humor make this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating love across borders.
