You swore you were done with the emotionally unavailable type. Or the fixers. Or the charmers who vanish when things get real. But somehow you’re back in the same dynamic.

Again.

If this sounds familiar, we want to hear from you.

KQED’s Love Lab blends science with real stories to explore our most intimate patterns. This month’s question: Why do we keep dating the same kind of person even when we know better?

If that question hits a nerve — or brings up a story — we’d love to hear it. Your voice could be featured in an upcoming episode — with your permission, of course.

Here are three ways to share your story:

  • Fill out the short form below
  • Record a one-minute voice memo and email it to lmcclurg@kqed.org
  • Or leave us a voicemail at 415-553-3300

Please include your name, location, age and the best way to reach you. The information you share will only be used by KQED journalists who may follow up for a deeper conversation.

Thank you for your honesty. We will try to help you untangle the pattern.
