Love doesn’t start expensive—it gets that way once you stay. In this episode of Brunch Behavior, we retire the fairy tale that “love don’t cost a thing” and pull out the real receipt on modern relationships. Because while the spark feels free, the follow-up charges hit different: time, money, emotional labor, patience, compromise, and the quiet tax on your pride.

Joined by Big Smash from I’ll Explain All This Later, we break down the real cost of love across every phase—dating, commitment, and the long haul. From late-night calls, fresh fits, and spontaneous dates, to shared bills, bruised egos, kids, mortgages, and emotional maintenance nobody warned you about. Love doesn’t drain you all at once—it compounds, especially when you ignore the balance.

To make it plain, we pour the lesson into a glass. Prosecco for the honeymoon glow. Orange juice for sweetness. Cranberry for the arguments that bite back. Triple sec for the depth you didn’t see coming. Just like a brunch cocktail, love looks light, goes down smooth, and still finds a way to hit harder than expected.

The shift happens when you stop paying blindly and start paying with intention. When your partner matches your pour, the cost stops feeling like a loss and starts looking like an investment—trust, peace, rhythm, and shared meaning. This episode is for anyone questioning what love is really asking of them and whether the return is worth it.
