Speaker 1: Are you okay what happened?

Speaker 1: guys write in your anonymous submissions sticky situations, stories or

12
00:00:36,201 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: something that you just want an outside perspective. Maybe it's

13
00:00:38,921 --> 00:00:41,561
Speaker 1: something really private and you don't want everyone knowing your business,

14
00:00:41,601 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: so you haven't told your friends and family, but you're

Speaker 1: would together as best friends. Yeah, so sit back, relax,

18
00:00:52,721 --> 00:00:54,321
Speaker 1: and get comfy, and let's get straight into it.

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,161
Speaker 2: Take it away, all right?

20
00:00:56,281 --> 00:00:59,521
Speaker 1: Today's submission is as I'm writing this, it seems more

21
00:00:59,561 --> 00:01:01,481
Speaker 1: real and like I'm saying it out loud. I never

22
00:01:01,521 --> 00:01:03,081
Speaker 1: thought I would be one of those women coming in

23
00:01:03,121 --> 00:01:05,681
Speaker 1: here to ask or say this. My partner and I

24
00:01:05,681 --> 00:01:08,881
Speaker 1: have been together for five years. In the past two years,

25
00:01:08,921 --> 00:01:11,601
Speaker 1: I found myself questioning whether he is the one I

26
00:01:11,601 --> 00:01:14,001
Speaker 1: think after listening to this podcast and having people ask

27
00:01:14,041 --> 00:01:16,401
Speaker 1: me if I will marry him. It got me thinking

28
00:01:17,041 --> 00:01:21,721
Speaker 1: he's my first partner. He is kind, patient, caring and funny.

29
00:01:21,961 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: He loves me for me. Honestly, I don't think I

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,041
Speaker 1: could ever be with a guy who has such good traits.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: But he sometimes just annoys me so much, and some

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: days I'm like, ah, do I want that?

33
00:01:32,321 --> 00:01:32,441
Speaker 3: Like?

34
00:01:32,521 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes emotionally the conversations are so silly. Although we can

35
00:01:36,121 --> 00:01:38,041
Speaker 1: still go deep, I find when he has a couple

36
00:01:38,081 --> 00:01:40,321
Speaker 1: of beers he just raves on and on and it

37
00:01:40,401 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: really annoys me. He was a heavy bonk smoker for

38
00:01:43,401 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: seven years and has finally stopped, which I'm so thankful

39
00:01:46,241 --> 00:01:48,641
Speaker 1: for because when he did that. When he did smoke,

40
00:01:48,681 --> 00:01:51,081
Speaker 1: he was so dopey and I just would get so annoyed.

41
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:53,081
Speaker 1: So he quit due to starting a new job. But

42
00:01:53,121 --> 00:01:55,281
Speaker 1: after work he has three to four beers of an AVO,

43
00:01:55,681 --> 00:01:58,281
Speaker 1: gets tired and raves in silly and I find myself

44
00:01:58,281 --> 00:02:01,881
Speaker 1: going to bed annoyed most nights. I can't pinpoint sometimes

45
00:02:01,881 --> 00:02:03,961
Speaker 1: why I question if I want to marry him. I

46
00:02:03,961 --> 00:02:06,281
Speaker 1: think maybe the drugs in our annoyed me too much.

47
00:02:07,121 --> 00:02:08,001
Speaker 3: When we first got.

48
00:02:07,841 --> 00:02:09,761
Speaker 1: Together, he didn't have much money, and now he's gotten

49
00:02:09,761 --> 00:02:12,081
Speaker 1: a great job that I applied for and does have

50
00:02:12,161 --> 00:02:14,841
Speaker 1: some savings. Now he's quit smoking, so he's listening and

51
00:02:14,881 --> 00:02:16,561
Speaker 1: doing all the things for me. But when I'm alone

52
00:02:16,601 --> 00:02:19,601
Speaker 1: in my thoughts or listening to this relationship podcast, I'm like,

53
00:02:19,921 --> 00:02:23,481
Speaker 1: m but is he for me? Do you have any

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: tips or tricks? I feel like I could never leave him,

55
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,321
Speaker 1: and the thought of that actually makes me sick. But

56
00:02:28,441 --> 00:02:30,481
Speaker 1: sometimes when he annoys me, I think, for fuck's sake,

57
00:02:30,561 --> 00:02:32,921
Speaker 1: I could leave now and not even feel sad about it.

58
00:02:33,161 --> 00:02:35,361
Speaker 1: But I say that in the moment. But now I've

59
00:02:35,401 --> 00:02:37,601
Speaker 1: been living together for a year and I love our life,

60
00:02:37,601 --> 00:02:40,161
Speaker 1: our adventures and all of our special interests, and I'm happy.

61
00:02:40,401 --> 00:02:42,601
Speaker 1: But sometimes I think too much. And if there wasn't

62
00:02:42,601 --> 00:02:44,601
Speaker 1: his pressure from the outsiders, I don't think I would

63
00:02:44,641 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: think about it too much, or would I. He never

64
00:02:46,881 --> 00:02:49,641
Speaker 1: gets angry at me, he loves my body, he's respectful.

65
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,961
Speaker 1: What do you think if I'm questioning it? Does that

66
00:02:52,001 --> 00:02:54,321
Speaker 1: mean I know he's not the one? But today, after

67
00:02:54,361 --> 00:02:56,321
Speaker 1: he got me flowers for having a tough week at work,

68
00:02:56,361 --> 00:02:58,841
Speaker 1: I thought, yes, I could marry him. Don't need to

69
00:02:58,841 --> 00:03:01,681
Speaker 1: do some work around negative self talk and self sabotage. Ah,

70
00:03:01,921 --> 00:03:04,481
Speaker 1: tell me, Like I said, if I was to leave,

71
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I could. I couldn't bring myself to

72
00:03:06,721 --> 00:03:08,361
Speaker 1: do it. And genuinely, I don't think I can not

73
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,601
Speaker 1: see him in my life.

74
00:03:12,841 --> 00:03:13,641
Speaker 2: That's a big one.

75
00:03:13,721 --> 00:03:14,761
Speaker 1: It is a big one.

76
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot there in that story.

77
00:03:16,601 --> 00:03:18,881
Speaker 1: There really is. I think alcohol is a big problem

78
00:03:18,881 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: in this dynamic. If he didn't drink, she wouldn't be

79
00:03:21,561 --> 00:03:23,681
Speaker 1: gett annoyed and triggered, and he would just be his

80
00:03:23,721 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: authentic self. When he's drinking, it's like that alter eu

81
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,561
Speaker 1: comes out and it just turns silly in like this

82
00:03:28,601 --> 00:03:29,761
Speaker 1: little little boy energy.

83
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:32,721
Speaker 3: And sometimes when someone's choosing something, you can't isolate that

84
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,001
Speaker 3: one thing because it's like, well, they're choosing to do

85
00:03:35,001 --> 00:03:36,921
Speaker 3: that behavior, which impacts how they show up in the

86
00:03:37,041 --> 00:03:37,921
Speaker 3: entire relationship.

87
00:03:38,121 --> 00:03:40,641
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm curious have you spoken to him about

88
00:03:40,641 --> 00:03:42,641
Speaker 1: how you feel when he drinks, because there's nothing in

89
00:03:42,641 --> 00:03:44,641
Speaker 1: there that you like. He gave up the bongs, but

90
00:03:44,721 --> 00:03:46,601
Speaker 1: now he's replaced out with the drinking. Have you said,

91
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:49,681
Speaker 1: when you drink it makes me feel xyz? Then I

92
00:03:49,721 --> 00:03:51,801
Speaker 1: feel disconnected that I'm annoyed. Then I don't want to

93
00:03:51,801 --> 00:03:54,721
Speaker 1: have sex with you, like it's this role on effect.

94
00:03:55,081 --> 00:03:56,841
Speaker 1: Is that a conversation that you've had and if not,

95
00:03:56,961 --> 00:03:59,281
Speaker 1: I would be having that and see if he's willing

96
00:03:59,321 --> 00:04:01,601
Speaker 1: to maybe give up the alcohol as well, and see

97
00:04:01,601 --> 00:04:03,961
Speaker 1: if that improves your relationship, your dynamic, and your connection.

98
00:04:05,121 --> 00:04:06,721
Speaker 1: Then you could see more clearly.

99
00:04:06,561 --> 00:04:08,761
Speaker 3: It's important to have that conversation as well around what

100
00:04:08,841 --> 00:04:11,641
Speaker 3: your standards and boundaries are within the relationship because if

101
00:04:11,681 --> 00:04:13,441
Speaker 3: you are kind of just like letting it happen and

102
00:04:13,441 --> 00:04:16,841
Speaker 3: you're building resentment behind closed doors, naturally a relationship isn't

103
00:04:16,881 --> 00:04:18,441
Speaker 3: going to end up quite strong in the way that

104
00:04:18,481 --> 00:04:20,361
Speaker 3: you want it to, you know, because you're going to

105
00:04:20,361 --> 00:04:22,761
Speaker 3: be resentful for him for doing something that he doesn't

106
00:04:22,761 --> 00:04:24,921
Speaker 3: even know that you're upset about, Lily. But then if

107
00:04:24,921 --> 00:04:27,161
Speaker 3: you voice your standards and boundaries, Hey, this is like

108
00:04:27,201 --> 00:04:29,681
Speaker 3: a non negotiable for me in this relationship that in

109
00:04:29,761 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: order to stay connected, feel connected, trust you, love you,

110
00:04:33,081 --> 00:04:36,361
Speaker 3: and to be able to build something together, then it's

111
00:04:36,361 --> 00:04:38,761
Speaker 3: going to require this this and this is actually not

112
00:04:38,801 --> 00:04:40,361
Speaker 3: what I see as a part of my future for

113
00:04:40,481 --> 00:04:43,481
Speaker 3: me and my relationship. Yeah, I think that's important conversation

114
00:04:43,521 --> 00:04:43,681
Speaker 3: I have.

115
00:04:43,841 --> 00:04:45,521
Speaker 1: I definitely the end, he's not a mind reader. If

116
00:04:45,521 --> 00:04:47,841
Speaker 1: you communicated with him how that are call is making

117
00:04:47,841 --> 00:04:50,401
Speaker 1: you feel, and how he behaves, And just because he's

118
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,681
Speaker 1: not abusive or angry or anything like that, it can

119
00:04:53,721 --> 00:04:56,081
Speaker 1: still not be aligned with you if it's affecting your

120
00:04:56,081 --> 00:04:58,041
Speaker 1: connection and how you feel day to day. And this

121
00:04:58,081 --> 00:05:00,001
Speaker 1: isn't just on a Friday night, Yeah, this is like

122
00:05:00,081 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: every single day. So maybe that's the conversation of like, hey,

123
00:05:03,521 --> 00:05:04,841
Speaker 1: if you want to have a couple of drinks, maybe

124
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,121
Speaker 1: go the boys and have some fun, but like day

125
00:05:07,161 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: to day, the kind of life I want to live

126
00:05:09,081 --> 00:05:09,601
Speaker 1: is like this.

127
00:05:10,041 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: And the deeper question that I would ask is like,

128
00:05:12,241 --> 00:05:14,081
Speaker 3: is it the surface level thing of the drinking in

129
00:05:14,121 --> 00:05:15,801
Speaker 3: the bongs or is it like something deeper?

130
00:05:16,281 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Like, is that the

131
00:05:17,561 --> 00:05:18,321
Speaker 2: surface level thing?

132
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,121
Speaker 3: Is that the thing that really annoys you and you

133
00:05:20,281 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: genuinely feel like I'm solid in this relationship or is

134
00:05:23,521 --> 00:05:25,481
Speaker 3: that the surface level thing that triggers you and annoys

135
00:05:25,521 --> 00:05:28,001
Speaker 3: you because you're like one hundred percent not in it.

136
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: Just because you question something doesn't mean they're not the

137
00:05:30,481 --> 00:05:33,041
Speaker 3: right one. We all have doubts about everything that we do,

138
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,281
Speaker 3: but that's only something that you know and feel when

139
00:05:36,361 --> 00:05:39,041
Speaker 3: you listen to that inn a pool, because like your

140
00:05:39,081 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: internal compass will tell you whether this is your person

141
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:43,521
Speaker 3: or not. And sometimes we can look at the little

142
00:05:43,521 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: things on top and be like, oh, it's annoying and

143
00:05:45,201 --> 00:05:48,561
Speaker 3: this and that, but yeah, deeper, Yeah, is it something deeper?

144
00:05:48,761 --> 00:05:50,921
Speaker 1: I'm interesting. The one comment I could be reading into

145
00:05:50,921 --> 00:05:53,241
Speaker 1: this so much how she said he's my first partner.

146
00:05:53,681 --> 00:05:55,481
Speaker 1: Is there a little bit of like, oh, do I

147
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:57,121
Speaker 1: know what I want? Do I want to explore?

148
00:05:57,601 --> 00:05:58,001
Speaker 2: I don't know.

149
00:05:58,241 --> 00:05:59,801
Speaker 1: There could be something in that, But I also could

150
00:05:59,801 --> 00:06:02,041
Speaker 1: be reading into it, yeah, like have I lived? Yeah,

151
00:06:02,041 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: like I'm so glad. I've had a couple of different

152
00:06:03,641 --> 00:06:06,001
Speaker 1: partners and different relationships. Know what I like and what

153
00:06:06,041 --> 00:06:08,321
Speaker 1: I don't like and or feels good. Whereas for her,

154
00:06:08,361 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: she's got no comparison, Not that you want to compare

155
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,841
Speaker 1: your partners.

156
00:06:11,721 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: But no, one hundred percent.

157
00:06:12,681 --> 00:06:14,681
Speaker 3: Though she doesn't have any context, she's never had any

158
00:06:14,681 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: other experience outside of what she's experiencing now. And not

159
00:06:16,801 --> 00:06:18,801
Speaker 3: to say that there's nothing wrong with that. He sounds

160
00:06:18,801 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: like a beautiful man. Yeah, to give up the bongs.

161
00:06:20,921 --> 00:06:23,921
Speaker 3: He buys the flowers after a tough week. He listens,

162
00:06:23,921 --> 00:06:26,801
Speaker 3: he respects her, he loves her, he's kind, he's funny.

163
00:06:26,841 --> 00:06:28,721
Speaker 3: Like it sounds like he's got a lot of beautiful traits,

164
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: which she acknowledged and said. The fact she said, if

165
00:06:31,481 --> 00:06:33,041
Speaker 3: I was to go like it makes me feel sick.

166
00:06:33,081 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: I think that really shows how much she cares for him.

167
00:06:35,121 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: When a girl is not feeling and she's numbed out,

168
00:06:37,801 --> 00:06:39,961
Speaker 1: she's gone, she's gone six months ago.

169
00:06:40,201 --> 00:06:42,281
Speaker 3: But then it's conflicting as well, because she also said

170
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,481
Speaker 3: I could leave and I wouldn't feel that.

171
00:06:43,761 --> 00:06:45,481
Speaker 1: That's in the moment. I remember how we always say

172
00:06:45,521 --> 00:06:47,041
Speaker 1: you can feel something in the moment, it doesn't have

173
00:06:47,081 --> 00:06:47,561
Speaker 1: to mean anything.

174
00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:48,161
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

175
00:06:48,201 --> 00:06:49,641
Speaker 1: I think in the moment where she's triggered by the

176
00:06:49,681 --> 00:06:52,561
Speaker 1: alcohol and it's being annoying, I get annoying people drink

177
00:06:52,561 --> 00:06:54,401
Speaker 1: around me, it's like, ah, it's not the same person.

178
00:06:54,481 --> 00:06:55,281
Speaker 2: That's true, you know.

179
00:06:55,561 --> 00:06:57,921
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when you're not a drinker yourself, you're really

180
00:06:57,921 --> 00:07:00,841
Speaker 1: on a different vibration, You're on a different wavelength, You're

181
00:07:00,841 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: on a different energy.

182
00:07:01,841 --> 00:07:02,081
Speaker 2: Yeah.

183
00:07:02,161 --> 00:07:04,681
Speaker 3: Who they are when they're drinking also comes into everyday life.

184
00:07:04,761 --> 00:07:06,801
Speaker 1: Yes, know, though, I feel like some people are just

185
00:07:06,841 --> 00:07:09,081
Speaker 1: so different when they drink, but day to day they're incredible.

186
00:07:09,161 --> 00:07:09,921
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

187
00:07:10,001 --> 00:07:12,801
Speaker 1: I don't see it blending in. I see it quite separated. Actually,

188
00:07:13,601 --> 00:07:15,441
Speaker 1: But then how you do anything is how you do everything.

189
00:07:15,761 --> 00:07:19,401
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see how when they're so good like this,

190
00:07:19,681 --> 00:07:22,921
Speaker 3: but then that twenty percent kind of hinders the eighty

191
00:07:22,961 --> 00:07:25,001
Speaker 3: percent where they're good because you're like, well, yeah, this

192
00:07:25,081 --> 00:07:27,081
Speaker 3: is amazing this much. But then you're also doing this

193
00:07:27,121 --> 00:07:29,321
Speaker 3: as well, and then it kind of impacts trust, and

194
00:07:29,321 --> 00:07:32,001
Speaker 3: then it impacts connection. Then it impacts the good things

195
00:07:32,041 --> 00:07:34,201
Speaker 3: and all the good traits and if that becomes your

196
00:07:34,241 --> 00:07:37,121
Speaker 3: main focus. And she's frustrated right now because it is

197
00:07:37,161 --> 00:07:39,361
Speaker 3: the thing that's annoying her the most. She's not really

198
00:07:39,401 --> 00:07:40,841
Speaker 3: able to see all the good stuff as much.

199
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:43,001
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, it sounds amazing, like you

200
00:07:43,041 --> 00:07:45,601
Speaker 1: can have this conversation with He's proven he can give

201
00:07:45,641 --> 00:07:48,241
Speaker 1: off on something he's addicted to out the bombs, so

202
00:07:48,281 --> 00:07:51,201
Speaker 1: it's more than capable. I'd be having that conversation around

203
00:07:51,241 --> 00:07:52,961
Speaker 1: like a row, Like I didn't think this is bothering

204
00:07:53,001 --> 00:07:55,801
Speaker 1: me that much, but it really is. And I just

205
00:07:55,841 --> 00:07:57,361
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's aligned with me. And when you

206
00:07:57,401 --> 00:08:00,001
Speaker 1: do drink, I don't feel as connected, and I kind

207
00:08:00,001 --> 00:08:02,481
Speaker 1: of find myself pulling away and being annoyed, and I

208
00:08:02,481 --> 00:08:05,721
Speaker 1: don't want that disconnection between us is something that you'd

209
00:08:05,721 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: be willing to try for three months of not drinking

210
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,521
Speaker 1: and we see if it improves how I'm feeling in

211
00:08:10,521 --> 00:08:13,321
Speaker 1: our relationships because you're so important to me. I want

212
00:08:13,321 --> 00:08:15,841
Speaker 1: this to work, but I can't see this working long

213
00:08:15,961 --> 00:08:17,521
Speaker 1: term if we were to continue like.

214
00:08:17,481 --> 00:08:19,481
Speaker 3: This, that's a beautiful way to look at you know, Yeah,

215
00:08:19,481 --> 00:08:20,681
Speaker 3: that's a beautiful.

216
00:08:20,121 --> 00:08:22,201
Speaker 1: I reassure him that you're not leaving, like I want

217
00:08:22,201 --> 00:08:24,321
Speaker 1: to stay here. I want to be here, But if

218
00:08:24,361 --> 00:08:26,401
Speaker 1: I think about myself in five years, I don't think

219
00:08:26,401 --> 00:08:28,481
Speaker 1: I could keep being annoyed at you. Every time you

220
00:08:28,561 --> 00:08:30,841
Speaker 1: dream it's going to wear thin, overtime put up with

221
00:08:30,881 --> 00:08:32,801
Speaker 1: it's so much, it's like a boiling kettle like gets

222
00:08:32,801 --> 00:08:34,281
Speaker 1: hotter and hotter, and then the lid comes off and

223
00:08:34,321 --> 00:08:35,641
Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, I'm done.

224
00:08:35,761 --> 00:08:37,881
Speaker 3: Yeah, And even getting clear on what your relationship in

225
00:08:37,881 --> 00:08:40,081
Speaker 3: five years time you want it to look, like, show

226
00:08:40,161 --> 00:08:42,121
Speaker 3: him the vision of what that looks like for you both,

227
00:08:42,521 --> 00:08:44,961
Speaker 3: and like what actually said, Like it's really beautiful that

228
00:08:45,001 --> 00:08:47,241
Speaker 3: he has a lot of evidence that he can overcome

229
00:08:47,401 --> 00:08:48,121
Speaker 3: and he's willing.

230
00:08:48,441 --> 00:08:50,041
Speaker 2: I think that's a good thing too.

231
00:08:50,401 --> 00:08:51,841
Speaker 1: Is really you can ask for a human.

232
00:08:51,761 --> 00:08:54,401
Speaker 3: Yeah, willing to grow, willing to change, willing to overcome

233
00:08:54,561 --> 00:08:56,001
Speaker 3: like the addictions, like what you were saying.

234
00:08:56,361 --> 00:08:57,561
Speaker 2: So that's a really good sign.

235
00:08:57,921 --> 00:08:58,121
Speaker 1: Yeah.

236
00:08:58,121 --> 00:09:00,081
Speaker 3: I think it's important to like kind of check all

237
00:09:00,121 --> 00:09:02,281
Speaker 3: the boxes first and make sure that you've tried everything

238
00:09:02,361 --> 00:09:04,001
Speaker 3: before you kind of go into the all do I

239
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:04,761
Speaker 3: want to leave things?

240
00:09:04,801 --> 00:09:06,201
Speaker 1: Yeah, In terms of.

241
00:09:06,121 --> 00:09:08,161
Speaker 3: A self sabotage thing, it doesn't necessarily have to be

242
00:09:08,161 --> 00:09:10,641
Speaker 3: self sabotaged. You could just be conflicted and that's okay.

243
00:09:10,681 --> 00:09:13,001
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that you're self sabotaging. It means that

244
00:09:13,041 --> 00:09:15,121
Speaker 3: there is something that your body and mind is trying

245
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,441
Speaker 3: to tell you that doesn't actually sit well with you.

246
00:09:17,841 --> 00:09:20,241
Speaker 3: And that's something to pay attention to, not something to fear.

247
00:09:20,761 --> 00:09:24,081
Speaker 1: No, that's so true. But would love an update. Yeah,

248
00:09:24,161 --> 00:09:26,961
Speaker 1: give us an update if you're listening, go have that conversation.

249
00:09:27,121 --> 00:09:28,001
Speaker 2: Yeah, how you feel.

250
00:09:28,481 --> 00:09:30,401
Speaker 1: Put some timelines in, like, hey, can we just try

251
00:09:30,481 --> 00:09:33,161
Speaker 1: this for three months yeap and see how it feels

252
00:09:33,841 --> 00:09:35,801
Speaker 1: like a trial and error. But if he's willing, that's

253
00:09:35,801 --> 00:09:37,641
Speaker 1: beautiful and he sounds like an amazing man, and it

254
00:09:37,641 --> 00:09:39,001
Speaker 1: sounds like you really care for him, So I think

255
00:09:39,001 --> 00:09:41,081
Speaker 1: this is worth trying anything for. I just think you

256
00:09:41,161 --> 00:09:43,681
Speaker 1: never want to walk away from a relationship until you've

257
00:09:43,681 --> 00:09:48,521
Speaker 1: tried absolutely everything. Yeah, are one hundred percent clear that

258
00:09:48,561 --> 00:09:51,681
Speaker 1: there's no other option. I would never leave relationship until

259
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:54,761
Speaker 1: I've explored every avenue. So then when you walk away,

260
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:56,961
Speaker 1: there's no wondering, there's no regret, there's no what ifs.

261
00:09:56,961 --> 00:09:59,361
Speaker 1: It's like I can confidently walk away knowing I tried

262
00:09:59,401 --> 00:10:01,481
Speaker 1: everything and that chapter had to be closed.

263
00:10:01,561 --> 00:10:03,761
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really important to get to that point because

264
00:10:03,761 --> 00:10:05,201
Speaker 3: then you know that you're not going to go back.

265
00:10:05,281 --> 00:10:06,841
Speaker 2: You know that, Okay, have done everything that I kept

266
00:10:06,881 --> 00:10:07,401
Speaker 2: out yourself.

267
00:10:07,561 --> 00:10:10,121
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you can cost fully as well, you know,

268
00:10:10,241 --> 00:10:11,721
Speaker 3: human for you, Yeah, for both of you. And it

269
00:10:11,721 --> 00:10:14,241
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be something that ends badly. It's something

270
00:10:14,241 --> 00:10:16,881
Speaker 3: that can be amicable. Hey, I love you, I respect you.

271
00:10:17,281 --> 00:10:19,041
Speaker 3: We've done everything that we can. I don't really think

272
00:10:19,081 --> 00:10:20,561
Speaker 3: there's anything more that we can do. And then you

273
00:10:20,641 --> 00:10:23,161
Speaker 3: move on or it works out and you guys live

274
00:10:23,161 --> 00:10:24,001
Speaker 3: heavily er after.
