In this episode of 1-800 Bridesmaid, host Jen Glantz sits down with NYC psychotherapist Jessica Zweig to unpack the messiest parts of modern dating, friendship, and relationships — and answer two real caller dilemmas live on the show.

Jessica works with clients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s on dating, anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns, and she's bringing that expertise straight to your bridesmaid problems. Jen and Jessica cover:

- Why influencer "dating rules" (the 3-day text rule, who should chase whom) do more harm than good - When — and how — to tell someone you're dating about anxiety, depression, or mental health struggles - How to support a friend going through something you can't relate to - Caller #1: A friend ghosted her for two years, then sent a wedding invite expecting instant forgiveness — should she go? - Caller #2: Her therapist told her to break up with her boyfriend, and he's demanding she stop seeing that therapist. Who's right? - Why weddings can't fix broken friendships, and what to do when someone expects yours to - Breaking toxic relationship cycles and why change is so much harder than wanting change

Whether you're navigating a complicated friendship before a wedding, wondering if you should go to an event for someone you've drifted from, or just love hearing real advice for real bridesmaid problems, this episode delivers no-nonsense, therapist-backed guidance.
