Ira Grass who created This American Life, a weekly radio program, featured a special podcast for this week's universal holiday. In this special Valentine's Day edition, he speaks to Kristy Kruger about her quirky way of dealing with a breakup and to Kurt Braunohler about his thirteen year relationship with a woman.
The interview with Kristy starts out with an introduction as to how long Ira has known her. He tells the audience that she was having a "hard time" and explains further that after a break up with a guy, she continued to love him and began to obsess over him.
Speaking to Ira, Kurt explains his past situation with this woman he had committed to for thirteen years and whom he had not married during this time. His story includes trials of love in which the couple started seeing other people in order to test the endurance of their relationship.
Both situations are unusual and seemingly crazy, but we can admit to ourselves that at one point we were the ones who were crazily in love with a person who didn’t feel the same way or we were the ones who were young , naive, and inexperienced. Considering most of the viewers here are young adults, most of us have or will face situations in a less intense form some day.
