What would you do if the person you’ve loved for six and a half years admitted they’re still waiting for a ring… and secretly keeping another man in the back of their mind “just in case”? That’s exactly what happens in today’s Dirty Little Secret and this confession sends the entire show into chaos. A caller opens up about her long-term relationship hitting a standstill. No proposal. No clear timeline. No commitment. And now she can’t stop thinking about the “good guy” she dated before the one she let go too soon.
The one she quietly looked up on Facebook. The one she mentally filed away as her backup boo. She insists she isn’t cheating…
But is having a backup partner in your head just as bad? Candice is stunned.
Billy tries to be neutral (and fails).
Pooh! swears every woman has a backup plan which only makes the phones explode. Listeners call in with their own stories, including someone who actually ended up marrying their backup. The studio turns into a full-on relationship battlefield as everyone debates loyalty, timelines, emotional safety nets, and whether “comfort” sometimes keeps people in the wrong relationship. This Dirty Little Secret is messy, honest, relatable, and guaranteed to get you yelling at your speakers.
