      <title>EP7. The On-And-Off Relationship with Korean Boyfriend</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Jay had her first serious relationship in Korea during her freshman year in college. Her tale is a classic one of falling in love so deeply that, no matter what the circumstances, breaking-up for good just wasn't possible. And so Jay recounts her up-and-down experiences of a relationship that ultimately spanned five years (with countless breakups in-between). Every relationship has its fair share of good moments and bad; and in this episode, how we discuss how we ultimately decide on whether to stay, or go our separate ways from our loved ones]]></description>
