#brunchtalk: How Do You Deal With Judgemental Friends or Family When Dating?

Nothing is worse than having judgemental friends or family who pick apart every last person you date. In this week's brunch talk, we're discussing how to deal when the people closest to you think the person you're dating isn't "good enough." We're discuss where this type of feedback may come from, why it's important to know what's useful information versus superficial reasons that should be tuned out, and how you can talk your friends and family in a way that asserts your point of view – and stands up for the person you're dating.
