This week on Dirty Bathwater Dating After 50, Lux shares a story about a recent dating experience gone wrong due to some major misunderstandings. We discuss how easy it is for wires to get crossed in the dating world, especially when you're over 50.

The hosts then delve into the tricky terminology around a "side piece" - which refers to someone you're dating who is already in a relationship. One of Giddy's friends asked if she has a side piece, not knowing what that term means. Giddy laughs it off only to be told what it means live on the show. We talk about the implications of labels like this and how they point to larger issues around trust and integrity when dating later in life.

There's no shortage of confusion and miscommunication when returning to the dating scene over 50. Tune in as we break down Lux's dating mishap, analyze what a "side piece" really means, and share tips for avoiding messy misunderstandings. The hosts reaffirm the importance of open communication, patience, and not making assumptions as key to relationship success at any age.
