WEBVTT - No Friend = Red Flag 

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this week on the we Don't podcast, and you

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>can get that on the iHeartRadio app just search Mojo

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>we Don't. That's the podcast I do with Chelse, my wife,

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and I get into a conversation that was really like

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>eye opening for me. But after seeing the dms that

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>the listeners have been sending more eye opening about you

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 1>and it's no friends equals red flag. So Chelse and

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I started this whole thing off with me singing you

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>got a friend and me, you got a friend, and

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>then it turned out that I don't have a friend

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>with Chelsea's you know that I realized that Chelsea, Chelsea

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to be my friend. Chelsea talked about the

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>hardest time in our relationship was when she and I

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>were together too much and that I was her her

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>friend and she was my only friend. And it's weird

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>because here we are talking about Onlyfrians, but it's only

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>only friend. On the podcast, we talked about the hardest

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>time in our relationship was when we went through a

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 1>phase where she was my only person and I had

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>her as my friend, my ride or die, you know,

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>but also my every problem, my bad day, my every need.

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I would go straight to her. And how it cost

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of pain in our relationship. Now. I

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>have always felt like I'm a guy that has friends,

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>but I don't have the type of friendships that Chelsea has.

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea has like three people in her life that are

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>really her everything friends, Like she can call them up

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>if she's having a struggle with me, and she knows

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>that they are a vault for her. I probably have

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple people too, but I don't necessarily always call

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>them up. You ain't never called me just when you

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>think you know, I'll be honest. You're too close to

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>my wife. Well, alcohol, I'm a still vault. Actually, I

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>would probably think about calling you, but you weren't in

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>my life at this time. You understand that that it's

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>this time that this happened was when Chelsea and I

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>were going through one of our first struggles as a

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>married couple where I would have really bad issues at work.

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 1>I would go home and right away everything was a negative.

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Then I would have really bad issues with my family,

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>meaning my brothers and sisters and my dad's relationship, and

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I would go home and talk to her about that.

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Then I would have issues with raising the boys, talk

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to her about that. Then I would have issues in

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>our marriage and I would talk to her about that,

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and she said, eventually, you got to stop talking to

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>me about everything that you have problems with, and our

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship is not us having a relationship where we are

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>able to enjoy some things, you know. And I was

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>probably going through probably a bad negative time too in

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>my life, like where things weren't going right, and it

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>got me thinking that I do need to find the

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>ride or die friends deep because I have like you

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>have them.

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 2>I have one guys like Brad Yeager, he's your best

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 2>buddy from when you were in elementary school. The issue

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>is he doesn't live here, so you can't be like, hey, Brad,

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I need to get away.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>I need to get out of my house for a

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 3>couple of hours.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you know, so.

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 3>You do have those pupe. Yeah, those people, they're just not.

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't have the person. And Chelsea's got one friend

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>that lives here in town that's her ride or died,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and the other two aren't. But she is on the

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>phone with them constantly, Like she talks to them as

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>much as we talk to each other, maybe even more.

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's interesting because I'm gonna throw this out there

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>when I started reading some of the dms on the

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>We Don't podcast. It was all women who listened to

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast yesterday, and they all felt the same way

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>in their relationship. They were all women, and primarily there's

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>probably more women that listen to We Don't than guys,

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>but we do get a lot of guys out there

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that said, oh my god, I related to this so much.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>It's such a struggle. My husband doesn't have a lot

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>of guy friends. And it was wild to how that

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a lot of guy friends puts pressure on

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>their relationships like it did on our relationship. And we

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about the vulnerability of the struggles always of you know,

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>having to be the one person for you and the

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>good thing, and some people say some people actually commented, Hey,

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you should share anything about your relationship

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 1>outside of your relationship. You know, you shouldn't have to.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't be telling people about, you know, Mojo or Mojo.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't be telling people about Chelsea. You guys should

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about it with each other or through a therapist.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And I disagree with that. I do think that if

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you have a friend that is not going to judge

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>past the point of you talking like there have been

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>times in Brad's one of them. I've told Brad when

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I hated Chelsea and when I thought that we should

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>get divorced. He never once said go get a divorce.

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>He just listened to me, and then he gave me

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>advice of, Hey, if you guys go through that, I

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>will still remain friendly with Chelsea. I will not leave Chelsea.

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's I think when you know you have a

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>friend that's your writer or die. Yeah.

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, How do y'all feel about when you had those

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 4>relationships where people say, I want you to tell me everything.

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I want to be your best friend. I want to

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 4>be the person you can bide in if you're going

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 4>through things. I want you to come talk to me, like,

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 4>because I feel like there is a space for those

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 4>people as well. And if you do go tell somebody

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 4>else something and don't tell your spouse, they're like, well, damn,

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 4>what am I here for?

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't you come tell me that?

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't never keep things from Chelsea, like I don't

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>never try to keep you know, stuff from her. But

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I will say this, those people that want you to

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>tell I always wonder what they're reasoning and why they want, like.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 4>Why can't it be for better or for worse? I'm

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 4>your everything, You're my everything. We should know everything, saying

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 4>your spouse that you're with.

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 2>So I had this west and I have had conversations

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>about both of these things just hit so close to home.

0:05:58.680 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I have so much to say about it.

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But with that keV, I had to explain to him

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>because he was like, I want to I want to

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>be your safe space for everything, and I'm like, I

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>love that about you.

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.239
<v Speaker 3>That is such a good quality.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>However, there are different things that I, as Shannon, need

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>to process with different people. There are things that happened

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 2>to me that I want to process with my sister.

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>There are things that happen to me that I want

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>to process by myself. There are things that happened to

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 2>me I want to process with my therapist or with

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>my friends. And then there's a ton that, of course

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to bring to you. But like you, you

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>are not my end all be all. I know that

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 2>sounds mean, but like I like to, it's just the

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>way I process that I have different people that I

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>feel like could really help in those certain situations. Now

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>after I do if it's something obviously detrimental that relates

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>to me as a person or our relationship, especially of

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>course I'm going to bring it to him, but I

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>may need to process it with somebody else.

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 3>And that was very hard thing for him to hear that.

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 3>It was very honest.

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea said the same exact thing, that sometimes you need

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to have those friends that you process it with so

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>that they can tell you when you're wrong.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>A million percent, which my which my sister and my

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>friends do. And that brings me to, you know, the

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>friend thing where I had to tell him he has

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>his fist of five. He calls it his five best friends.

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Some one lives here. Most of them live in Canada,

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 2>where he's from. So he didn't have the somebody here

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>that he could call and just be like, hey, I

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 2>need to like blow off some steam. Let's go grab

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 2>a coffee or a drink or whatever. And he and

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I was that person for him, and it is it

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>is so much pressure. And I was like, you need

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>to have other people that you can process things with.

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 3>It's like that is so much on me. I can't

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 3>do that.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And he recently went through a job change too, and

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I bet you that's a struggle too that yo, And thank.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>God he's so close with his siblings, and he does

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>have great friends he has built he has. I give

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>him a lot of credit because at the beginning of

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 2>our marriage was a strong We struggled with this so much.

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>He has built a great group of friends now in

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the past year or two. I'm so thankful he has.

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>And he has his to five in Canada. But like,

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I think guys are just different with friends too, like women.

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Hold not to say that you don't have great friends.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 2>You have a lot of friends, but women play such

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>an important importance in emphasis on girlfriends and scheduling time

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>with girlfriends.

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Where guys are like, oh, there's a game tonight, we go.

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 3>We're we're like so intentional with.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Like we golf and we golf. We don't necessarily talk

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>about our relationships. Or we go to watch a game.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>We watch the game, right, We don't sit there and yeah,

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>women sit down, man. They open up a bottle.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.480

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 5>happy you made it back. Hope you have vacation was good.

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 5>Thank you. I want to say it. I just wanted

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 5>to say. You know, I've been in my relationship with

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 5>my wife for uh we've been together almost fourteen years now,

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 5>and uh, you know, the communication that we've built up

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 5>from the foundation of us finding out how we are

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 5>going to love each other is you know, saying, when

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 5>we have certain things that we want to talk about,

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 5>we talk about them as if it's like a third

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 5>person kind of view, you know what I'm saying. So like,

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 5>when I have something I need to talk about, I

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 5>talk to her about it and I say like, hey,

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't want you to say anything back to me

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 5>about this or you know how you feel about it

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 5>right now, I just want to get this out. And

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 5>then after I get it out, then you can give

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 5>me your feedback or how you feel about it. And

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 5>that built up a way of how we can communicate

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 5>to become stronger, because if you don't do that, you

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 5>don't know how each other feels. And men feel different

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 5>than you know, saying the way that women feel, and

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 5>we both have different kinds of things of how we

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, want to approach you know, the way how

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 5>we feel but uh, it just goes to show, like

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, changing the way that you are to be

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 5>better for not only for yourself but your partner, it

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 5>makes you stronger.

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Well and honestly, and that's a great way to handle

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that in your relationship. I also encourage too with the

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>UH for those that don't have the friends. One of

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that I did was I just found a

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>good therapist that I could go to and really kind

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of look as a guy friend that can give me

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the professional advice on things, because sometimes you don't want

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>everything that you come to your spouse with being a

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's try to figure out how to process this thing

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>like I want sometimes just to be able to go, hey,

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>how are you doing, how are we doing? Let's have

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>fun together? What's going on? Melissa?

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.319
<v Speaker 7>Hey everyone, longtime listener.

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Love you guys.

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Love you are your first time caller or you have

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>called before?

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 7>No, no, I love time in and absolutely, you know,

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 7>it sounds to me like a lot of people are

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 7>getting in relationships before they actually really know who they

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 7>are and what they want. And when you know who

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 7>you are and what you want, you have those conversations

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 7>and you learn how to communicate with someone and so

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 7>the topic of the conversation should really never be an issue.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 7>And even that, like if you do need to maybe

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 7>bend to other friends because you're just not sure. If

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 7>you have a friend that you're worried about judging you,

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 7>is that really a friend? And again that that goes

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 7>back to you.

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 4>So a lot of.

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 7>Times it comes down to figure out what you want

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 7>and learn how to communicate that and then go out

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 7>and enjoy other people. But you shouldn't be keeping anything

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 7>from your spouse or even your friends if there's true

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 7>to you.

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, this is not about keeping things from your spouse.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>This is about only going to your spouse and not

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>having the friendships to be able to go and ask,

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of your mutual friends, especially somebody that

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.959
<v Speaker 1>has you know, is married just like you, Hey, how

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>can I deal with something like this and get somebody

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>that's not going to judge you? What's going on? Morgan?

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 8>Hey?

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 6>So, I was just gonna say, my husband and I

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 6>have been married for almost ten years, and I think

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 6>by developing friendships outside of our marriage, because we've always

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 6>considered each other our best friends, it has actually helped

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 6>to take us out of that roommate phase that we've

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 6>found ourselves in and kind of like rejuvenated making cookies

0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 6>and other aspects of our lives.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so it actually rejuvenated your sex life by doing this,

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you might need some friends.

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean it was never like bad per se,

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 6>but I feel like rather than all were just two

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 6>people living together with kids. Now that you know, I

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 6>have girls that I can turn to and hang out

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.839
<v Speaker 6>with outside of my marriage, I feel more like I'm

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 6>actually with this person and attracted in you know, a

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 6>sexual manner.

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually find that when Chelsea is with her friends

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and comes home, our relationship is so much better because

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>she is so excited that she was just with all

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of her friends too. Like I think that there is

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a level of her friendships fulfill her, not more than

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I fulfill her, but fulfill her in a totally different way.

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.559
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like, you know, going and you know,

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>having a great night with your buddies. You come home

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, man, this is who I get to

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>come home to, and I just had a great night,

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and you get to talk about what you guys did

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.439
<v Speaker 1>or what you guys talked about.

0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Too when they complain about their husbands and yeah, right,

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 4>that's true.

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>He's like, man, I'm so glad I'm married to you, Briana.

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.199
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? It's Mojoe in the morning.

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 5>Hi, Hi, how are you right?

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Good? What's going on?

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 6>Not much?

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 8>So I was just calling because I actually don't have

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 8>like any friends or girlfriends, so I can only talk

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 8>to my spouse about all of my problems and issues.

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.959
<v Speaker 8>And it's nice and he's super supportive, but I actually

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 8>kind of hate it because sometimes I just want someone

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 8>to talk to and to listen to me, and I

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 8>don't want to be therapized. And that's like what he's

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 8>always doing because he wants to, you know, be supportive,

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 8>which is nice, but I definitely wish I had like

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 8>a girlfriend or a friend to go to to be like, hey,

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 8>this is my problem, this is my issue. Like what

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 8>do you what is your opinion or what's your like

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 8>outside view about it?

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 6>Why?

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think you don't have friends?

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 6>I literally don't have friends.

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 8>Why because well I did when I was younger, but

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 8>I'm thirty now and I just I don't know, I

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 8>don't have friends. It's kind of sad.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 5>It's a new going to.

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Find some interesting. I talked also about the level of friendships,

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>like you got those that know you from birth, you know,

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>or like your brothers and sisters and stuff like that.

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>You got those that know you from you know, the

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>earliest age of your life, grade school, high school, whatever

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the deal is. And then you go through college friends.

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Then you go through your kids that you know, friendships

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that you have with your kids, you know, growing up,

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Like there's levels of different friendships Chelsea. Actually, one of

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the things is some of Chelsea's newest friends are some

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of her better friends. And I think it's because they

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>know a version of Chelsea that is a healthier version,

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>because she's healthier now. She feels like than she was

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>when she was younger, she was just trying to figure

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>herself out. And I would say.

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Real is an interesting term to use because I don't

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 4>think it's always like defined properly how you mean it.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 4>But like there's the more current or realer version of

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 4>who you are now, you that will that understands what

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I'll put up with, what I won't pull up put

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 4>up with. That me that's more intention you know, me

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 4>who actually knows who I am and the things I

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 4>like and the things I dislike. Those people who I'm

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 4>connected with now, are more so connected to who I

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 4>am and not who I've been trying to become at

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 4>earlier points in my life, you know what I mean,

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 4>when I didn't fully understand what.

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Was Yeah, although I do like to call those earlier

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>friends when I was kind of like a mess, and

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I like to call them just to get honestly their perspective.

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Hunt was that really that good? Was that really a good?

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That good of a situation that you know that we had,

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>like you know what I mean, Like you look back
