The Forum for June 2025 will center on the topic of vetting in relationship. People often ask “how do I know if they’re good for me?” when deepening in a relationship, and most of us feel unequipped to explore, let alone answer the question definitively.

For people going through separation/divorce, the question of vetting comes up as “were we right for each other?” or “how could I have done it differently?”.

And for those who are re-partnering, the question arises of “how do I know I won’t just repeat the same mistakes?”

We’ll discuss:

• the difference between dealbreakers and preferences

• making vetting criteria for yourself

• getting reliable feedback from others you trust

• turning hard lessons from past relationships into simple, actionable guidance for dating
