00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: same questions. The first one. We're gonna set this up

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: this way. It's usually the one that trips everybody up the.

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: Most, right I'm really here.

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Here is the first question. Five words or less describe

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: your relationship today. Five words or less describe your relationship today.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: From me and him, or we could say together individually individually,

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: I am happy, I'm content, I am grateful, and what else? Mm,

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: that's big words for me, So I'm gonna I'm going

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: to say I'm good with three. Yeah, how's that good?

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Good?

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: So I would say all them three words for sure.

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: Content is a big word, so content me.

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm attracted to him, like described in the relationship. I

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: think he's good, like a guy, sorry, very masculine, super

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: I like that.

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: I do like them pretty boys.

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: Is complete. I feel complete. That's a that's a big deal.

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: This is so interesting. I think you've noticed the are couples,

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: and that's not insult, but the older couples, some of

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the words come out, growth and content. That's kind of

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: been a theme. I was surprised to hear those specific

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: words like safe.

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: A lot of the words that when you're young you

44
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: don't think matter. Peace, safety, like just having a companion,

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: someone you can trust. Those are that's what you want. Ultimately,

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: when all of the hot sex of romance, not that

47
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: it goes away. But when that part that crazy and

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: love fades, those are the values that keep people together.

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: And that's what we've seen.

50
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 3: That is and you know, I see so many couples now,

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: right because that's what you need the most in your

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: later years, because that's when things hit hard. Sometimes it's

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: financial struggle can happen at that time, retirement and then

54
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: there's just you. But there's also health issues, which I

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: see my parents aren't together, and my mom has health

56
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: issues and my dad has health issues. And as children

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: looking at them, were like, we're jumping in to take

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: care of them, which is an honor to be able

59
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: to do. But we say, this was the time they

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: were supposed to be there for each other. Wow.

61
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that is something to think about in terms

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: of the two of you coming together because you all

63
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: had previous marriages. Yes, how did you all first meet?

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: And when I asked that, I'm leading up to asking

65
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: you the question who said I love you first? How

66
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: quickly did that come? So we met through a friend?

67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 3: Okay, and I you know now you have Instagram, right,

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: So this friend of ours was a friend of his

69
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: and I knew her. She's a decorator. He's in like construction.

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 3: He's an electoral contractors. So they knew each other from

71
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: this world. And she said to me, you know, I

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: have a friend. He's really cool. You should date. Andm like, go, well,

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm not cool. So she's like, he'll bring it out

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: in you. So I went on his Instagram because now

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: we can do this right, and I thought it was

76
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: gay because he had all pictures of his mom and

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: his dog and his heart and he was very well dressed.

78
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: So I'm like, oh, no, this guy is not going

79
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: to like not from looking at him, but by what

80
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: he was posting. From looking at him too. Yes, he

81
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 3: was very like his hair was perfect, he was dressed beautifully,

82
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: that kind of thing was put together together.

83
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 4: Straight, care of yourself and just go out there.

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: But he was just everything was just the way he was.

85
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: And you know a lot of his mom and I

86
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: have a I love a mommy's boy. That's that's the guy,

87
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: I think, right, Yeah, So I'm like, oh, this is good.

88
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: So I did tell him. I said, I'm so glad

89
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: you're not gay. Really thought anyway. So we met. We

90
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: were supposed to go on a date and both our

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: phones broke at the same time, and we met at

92
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: the Apple Store before our date.

93
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, you didn't know you were both going to

94
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: the Apple Store. No, okay, that's a good story.

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: That's fate.

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that's amazing all right. So from the Apple Store

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: it blossomed from there.

98
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that day we spoke for three hours. We went

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: to the store and next store we had something to drink.

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,479

101
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: is easy. Spoke for three hours. Yeah, Yeah, it was fun.

102
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: I felt like we got a lot of stuff out

103
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: of way real fast.

104
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 3: So it was like it wasn't a formal date.

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, even driving away from that first time I met you,

106
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,120

109
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,880

00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: we met to go on the official date, which was cool.

111
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: It sounds like you did the hot take dating, which

112
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,400

Speaker 2: all out first day.

114
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: Do you want kids?

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: What do you believe in God? You know, like like

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: all of these who did you vote for?

117
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,640

Speaker 3: You know, I'm old school. I'm not going to do that.

121
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: I have too much pride number one, and I am

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: not going to do that.

123
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: Sounds like you felt it, but you didn't say it,

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: like you made.

125
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: A choice, because I would have never said it. I

126
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: didn't feel it. Okay, you knew.

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: It was going to be reciprocated.

128
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: Okay, all right?

129
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: How long before you guys dated? How long until you

130
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: got engaged and then eventually got married.

131
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: We just got engaged in November twos, thank you, four

132
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: years at the Apple store. Where we got engaged At

133
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: the Apple Store, I thought I was getting an iPhone.

134
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: You your ring is gorgeous, by the.

135
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: Way, I waited a long time for it. He said,

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: what kind of ring would you like? Because we really

137
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: didn't talk about because again, too much pride. I'm not

138
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: going to ask you to do the right thing, because

139
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: if I do, it's already too late.

140
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: Those a couple of things in the way, and divorce

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: was one of them.

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: Separated fourteen years and he never got to.

143
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Separated fourteen years.

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: I had no reason to get divorced because things were

145
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: they were fine. We just moved in different life. It

146
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: was no urgency I didn't find that person where I

147
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: was like, and then obviously the doors came around.

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: But in all fairness, Paul, because I feel like he's married.

149
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: He's married, and he is old in an old way

150
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: of thinking, and he thought about his kids a lot.

151
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: He never was public with his in with his relationships.

152
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: So then when I came around, not only was I public,

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: I'm not on TV.

154
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: It hit hard, he did.

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: It was almost like I was the first one coming

156
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: around and they were like still together when they hadn't

157
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: been together for many years.

158
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: And you're a lot like as like a person. She probably,

159
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: but you're also on TV.

160
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: It's she was a fan.

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: She was a fan, and it didn't help.

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh, it's complicated.

163
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: Remember when I wasn't with the man for like a

164
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: lot long time or even a little bit of time.

165
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: When I'm not done. When I'm done, I'm done. I

166
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: don't care. If you were dating Christy Brinkley, which I

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: am not, it would be okay.

168
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: So when is the wedding? Have you guys made wedding plans? Wow?

169
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: When's the wedding? Pol So?

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: I was hoping for November tenth, right, that was what

171
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: I would hope for.

172
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 3: That's when we got engaged, and that's that's when I moved.

173
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: She moved into the house, so which she forgot, which

174
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: I reminded her of that day when she got engaged.

175
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 4: The date is important, Yeah, the significance of right, it's

176
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: like dow chapter, new chapter in new chapter. So we

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: were driving away after get engaged, and I'm like, okay,

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: so now a little bit of time got to think

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: this process. Literally two eggs is on the highway when

180
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: we get married, like when's when? When are we doing this?

181
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm divorced seven years.

182
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 4: Had a stroke when I was getting engaged.

183
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 3: Her what I thought he was having a stroke. He

184
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: was saying nice things to me. He was like, You've

185
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: changed my life, and so I go, are you okay?

186
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: And I touched his shirt soken wet. I almost was

187
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: gonna call an ambulance because I thought he was having

188
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: a stroke.

189
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: Were you in the store around side of the store

190
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: in the store.

191
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: We settled up. There's a whole story to us.

192
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: I had no idea I used you know, I used

193
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: to work in a jail, and I grew up around

194
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: cops and I've been around Everything's a conspiracy in my

195
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: house growing up and so nobody gets anything by me.

196
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: Like I could bug your car, I could bug your

197
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: off No, man, I could break the code on your phone.

198
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: I don't care if you went to Harvard, Well I can.

199
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: But so I'm always ten steps ahead. I had no clue,

200
00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: not a clue. I I not this time, not with you.

201
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 3: I took a break with you because I trust you.

202
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: That's a big thing. I trust Paul very much. When

203
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: I met Paul, he said, if I'm going to be

204
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: in your life, because I've always been very guarded, and

205
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: he said, if I'm going to be in your life,

206
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: and I'm a man, you have to let me help you,

207
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: and you have to let me be there for you.

208
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: And that was a hard probably the hardest thing for

209
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: me to do. And then like giving up and moving

210
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: in with him, like I was used to just doing

211
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: everything by myself because it was easier. And when you

212
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: do that, you're not disappointed. When you don't depend on anybody,

213
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 3: you will never be disappointed.

214
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's but so it's a beautiful thing. You

215
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: have to take that leap of faith. And I did

216
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: ask someone that's amazing, she touched sheep.

217
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: I live by that that mindset. I will never be disappointed.

218
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: I'll just do it on my own. I'll take care

219
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: of it. That's not a healthy way.

220
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: It's okay, I think, I think if you do it.

221
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: It's not easy to do it first, but it comes

222
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: in time. If you don't get disappointed, then you let

223
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: it look down a little more, and then if it

224
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: goes a little further, you let it down a little more.

225
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: If what happens when you do get a little disappointed.

226
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: Back up, Yeah, well it's not it's not bad to

227
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: live like that as long as well you kind of

228
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 4: let your guard down every now and again you can

229
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: because that's a comfortable place for you to be.

230
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: That's comfortable. That's comfortable for me, and I never want

231
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: to give up that. I want to say, independence from

232
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: something like this is never going to call if God forbids,

233
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: something happened tomorrow, whether it be tomorrow's not promised to

234
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 3: anyone for anything. I wanted to make sure I'm okay

235
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: with that. Yeah.

236
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't spend time worrying about the stuff you can't control. Yeah,

237
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 4: and definitely worry about what you can.

238
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: I've been through enough to know that that's not going

239
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: to kill.

240
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 4: Me At this stage, yeah, or is anyway all right?

241
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: I y'all's dynamic is amazing, by the way.

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: I love it.

243
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: I want to know, do you have a daily disagreement

244
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: or a fight that you keep coming back?

245
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? Like where do you start?

246
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: Like?

247
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Okay, like it's not a recurring thing. We think, what

248
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: anything in particular that keeps coming up the youler?

249
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? What is our biggest thing? Is the temperature of

250
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 3: the house. I'm going through menopause. I will kill I'm

251
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: going to.

00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: I want a cul de sac. I want trees. I

315
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: don't want to look for somebody's roofs when I look

316
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: out the window. And so we're looking for a compromise

317
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: for both of us. And that's not an easy thing

318
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: to find.

319
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Did you would

320
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: you say you had a honeymoon period? And if so,

321
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: how long did it last?

322
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: It's still going on?

323
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think is now is our best time? Yeah,

324
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: all the hardest parts we went through in the beginning.

325
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: At rid of it, you know, dating somebody that's on TV,

326
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: is on a reality show. It's like, it's hard to

327
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: insert yourself that I'm from Ireland. We I did not

328
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: know anything about this life from over here. I work

329
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I'm in this very different life, right,

330
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: So you've got to deal deal with a lot of

331
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 4: moving parts. You know, there's relationships, all relationships, new relationships,

332
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: and you're just going to get used to the whole thing.

333
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 4: So I think there's a lot of stress learning about

334
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 4: each other and trying to learn what her world exists.

335
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: I used to be kind of like private guy, and

336
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: then my whole world was like I'd come home and

337
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: there's people at my house. I'm like, who are these people?

338
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: What's going on?

339
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: But for a single guy, it looks like James there

340
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: I was singing, yeah, as you would love it. So

341
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: now there's like I bring him my dogs and my

342
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: glam squad and cameras and all of that.

343
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: So all they like, stress part has gone out. That

344
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: was all at the start, right, So we loaded it

345
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: really heavy and all they're like, if it was ever

346
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: going to break, it would have broke.

347
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good way.

348
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: How long was that periods? How long was that that

349
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: adjustment period to while a year two?

350
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: Because then I got like caught off guard with this

351
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: whole reality world of social media, I'd say, and people would.

352
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: Say, there was very very second year.

353
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: I'd be having dinner. Any windows in your head? Is

354
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: this going on? Has that happened? So it's like and

355
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: then you just have to say, guys are trying to

356
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: make me feel bad about me wanting to feel good.

357
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: So you learn to mature through it and then you

358
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 4: just you block it out and now you enjoy anize

359
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: because you're like, he.

360
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: Had to realize that certain things, not everything.

361
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: Whatever. No clue, You've got no clue what's going on.

362
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: But he thought it was going to affect his life

363
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: more than it did.

364
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 4: It's been very good.

365
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's awesome.

367
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 3: big clients, and he'll think that they had no idea

368
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: about this, and they're they're.

369
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 4: Like yeahs, like so uh LRUs like my wife's a

Speaker 4: About her life, which I understand.

414
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: I was a Catholic Italian girl. Do not talk boy, Okay.

415
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: I get it. I was raised Catholic as well.

416
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: One thing I will say that the Lowris taught me.

417
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 4: That's a big lesson that I learned. Whatever would happen

418
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: that day? What was the stupid argument or somewhere. She

419
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 4: would always try to go to bed on a good note,

420
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 4: but you would always wake up the next day on

421
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: a better note. Regardless it's gone. It doesn't matter what

422
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: it is, it's done well.

423
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: That's a good tip.

424
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: I like that.

425
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: Start clean every day because it then you know, straighten

426
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: it out. But if if it's if it lingers on,

427
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: Like I kind of internalize things. To be honest with you,

428
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: I handle it and then I address it because I

429
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 3: have a hot temper and I want to make sure

430
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: I say it right. I articulate it right, and I

431
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: don't want to be like, you know, an animal, but she.

432
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: Will come back to it. You just think you're driving

433
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 4: somewhere you forgot all about and then.

434
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: What I want to say, You're like, fucking.

435
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: Here we go.

436
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: What do you think about the idea of couples, because

437
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: some made headlines very famous couples. They say they don't fight,

438
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: don't have disagreements at all. What do you think about

439
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: the idea?

440
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm so happy for them, that's amazing.

441
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: I they do fight one day, that's going to be

442
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: over that one time.

443
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: Damn the same thing you said.

444
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 4: I mean, like, it's not about fighting. It's like you

445
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 4: have to have a disagreement, right you.

446
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: Don't you know? You know somebody is somebody, but it's

447
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: somebody holding things in.

448
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: That's what it says.

449
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: Is somebody not talking about how they really appealed.

450
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: Huh, people that perfectly.

451
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: I hope they are. I'm happy for them.

452
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: You all don't endorse it. It sounds like you don't.

453
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like a good I think.

454
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 3: It's honestly piece. There's no price for peace. And if

455
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: you live a peaceful life and you guys find nothing

456
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: to argue about, God bless you. I am so happy

457
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: for you.

458
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think the part about it is I

459
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 4: try to express myself sometimes to the lowest and cousin

460
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 4: from art and she just thinks it's really funny because

461
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 4: it sounds like it's bakwards.

462
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to staff work does it? It's the wrong

463
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: and she's the wrong place I have to.

464
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: She's like, back to school.

465
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 2: Isn't humor sometimes the best weapon and all of that.

466
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 2: Have you ever gone to couple's therapy?

467
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 4: No, we've given it, but we haven't gone.

468
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 5: And we do listen my phone ring to counsel on

469
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 5: the phone.

470
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: You counsel people.

471
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: Yes, and.

472
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: Guys call him for tips all the time. He listened

473
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: to them. Guys called him all the time he listens.

474
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: I don't have patience for number one hysterical women. I

475
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: don't have patience for petty people drunk. Don't call me

476
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: drunk ever, because I don't drink. And if they if

477
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 3: they're not rational, if somebody's not rational, I don't have

478
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 3: a lot of patience for them.

479
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: And it's kind of they don't have to.

480
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: Listen to me or agree with me. But if I

481
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: see like this person that looks for the bad comments

482
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: to get upset about, they're not going to find you.

483
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: So I just got off the phone with you for

484
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: two hours, and you got off the phone with me,

485
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: and we're back at square one because you found one

486
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: comment that you went and looked for. I don't want

487
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: to see it because I don't read social media and

488
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 3: I don't read comments, and I don't go looking for trouble.

489
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: You do, so you read them.

490
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean I have phone with it now, ionize,

491
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: because then I go further, I'm like, oh my god,

492
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 4: look at this person.

493
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: Oh really, So you all aren't against therapy necessary, it's

494
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: just not something you all felt, you all wanted or needed.

495
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: I'm not against it, not at all.

496
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: You will tell emotionally healthy and stable, like you will

497
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: have given each other about things and laughing at it,

498
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 1: that most things might break a couple down. Like that's

499
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: why I say, will you sit here? Most people don't

500
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: agree to do these segments with us unless they're a

501
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: solid couple, because you can't sit there necessarily fake questions

502
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: we're asking And.

503
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: Can really anybody fool you sitting afterward?

504
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 5: You've been.

505
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: No one's fooling you. I don't know about you, but

506
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: she'll tell you if you think that. If you're believe

507
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: in someone, he's got his guard and she could see

508
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: right through.

509
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: That's funny.

510
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: We're in therapy.

511
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: What else should we do? Do you? What's the role

512
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 2: of friendship in your relationship?

513
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 5: Like?

514
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: Are you all each other's best friends? Do you have

515
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: your other best friends and you just you have the romance?

516
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: How important is being each other's friend? Does that play

517
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: a role in your relationship? I think that's everything. He

518
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: is to come to me with things and I have

519
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 2: to go to him with things.

520
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 4: I would say we're we're best friends as well, but

521
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: we respect our relationship so much that we don't let

522
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 4: it just become friends, right, so we we have that

523
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: boundary set like because they're still in a relationship, right.

524
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: So you know, it's a I've I've felt less needingful having,

525
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: Like when you're a different age, you have more people

526
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: around you. And he's always run my dad saying you

527
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 4: get older, all these clones won't be around that. I'm like, yeah,

528
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 4: that right, whatever, But he was right. So as you

529
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: go up and you see there's less people in your circle,

530
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: and then you kind of allow these people to come

531
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 4: into your circle. When you've got you've got people you

532
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 4: want to protect. You don't just have anybody come in, right,

533
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 4: so it can be around put they're not in.

534
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Protect is a good word.

535
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: I love that word. And you're protecting your relationship. Your

536
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: relationship comes first, the costs you have to that's your peace,

537
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: that's your safe space.

538
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: You know. I like I like my space from a

539
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: lot of things. I like my time alone. I went

540
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 3: to Trader, you know, I was on Traders, and the

541
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: best part about Traders was the time I spent in

542
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: a room by myself for over a month with no

543
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 3: phone and only three stations on the TV, like, Wow,

544
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: that was the prob such so peaceful. I got to

545
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: call once a week for thirty minutes supervised phone call,

546
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, I had their condition off.

547
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 4: A dog was walking around in a bikinis, but sometimes.

548
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 3: Him and Mike chihuahua love it. I have rescue dogs.

549
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: So they've taken over the house, the one I know.

550
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 3: They're best friends. It was rough after us, you know,

551
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: like I said, Paul has this house that he loves

552
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 3: so much. In the floors just because now we wee

553
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: pine and that's too bad. But Paul loves the dog.

554
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: The dogs do anything.

555
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: Him and the dog are best friends we have. You know,

556
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: I always say.

557
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: Be careful with couples and friends that lead into your relationship.

558
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: I've always protected our relationship from those things, and I've

559
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: warned him about that, and sometimes he'd be like, why

560
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: are we doing this with this and this one? I said,

561
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: I love them, Paul, but I need them where they.

562
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: Are very true.

563
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: Now that's interesting. It sounds like, yeah, if you allowed

564
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: friendships might have come in between or affected your relationship,

565
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: but you all have. You've kept the friendships but kept

566
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: them out of your relationship. Is that am I hearing?

567
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: That right.

568
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, if I was to say what I was

569
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 4: told throughout my relationship with Dolors from people that are

570
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: supposed to be friends, they would have a lotless teeth

571
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 4: damn wow from me.

572
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's jealousy.

573
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: It's just jealousy and it's toxic, and it's just happiness.

574
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: They're not happy.

575
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: So I felt like they I would know when I

576
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: walked in the house just by his attitude sometimes or

577
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: the way his energy was. Who he spoke to.

578
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

579
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: I never confronted those people. I let him get through

580
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: it and see it for himself. I kind of let

581
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: him banch or say things, but I never.

582
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 4: You always asked the question, right, So, so many plants,

583
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: a seed in your head doesn't come out the first

584
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 4: day about three four days later. That's what people are

585
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 4: great at. They're great a planting these little seeds. So

586
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: as a person, I like to put it out. I

587
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 4: don't keep it in, and I keep it in, then

588
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 4: the relationships fucked, so I will bring it up.

589
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: So that was our biggest challenge in the beginning.

590
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: But that was instigation of trying to break what she

591
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 4: had and what I had.

592
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 3: So I had to understand that he had to go

593
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: through that and not get mad at him for that.

594
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 4: It's so good. Now when I sit talk to these people.

595
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: We see them, We're like, I know you, I got

596
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: your card.

597
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 3: So I think a lot of people let a lot

598
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 3: of couples when they first get together. Let older couples

599
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: because now they've had these people in their lives for

600
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: so long and they were such a big part of

601
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: their lives before this relationship came that now they feel

602
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: mad about this relationship and they're like, well I'm out now.

603
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: They just it's human nature. They try to hurt.

604
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 4: It instead of them saying, let's work with them because

605
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 4: that's a good that's that's good energy. Let's be around.

606
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: Them all me your friends, on the on the road

607
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: you've been on and the road.

608
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: And I asked, then, how could you all remember a time?

609
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: I know you joked about our putting stuff at the

610
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: front door and it's threatening to leave six thousand times,

611
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: But can you all point to a moment. I don't

612
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: know if it was a particular fight, I mean, particular

613
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: time or segment of your relationship that you actually got

614
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: close to ending.

615
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 3: It never's and every time that incident happened, it was

616
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: over him somebody.

617
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 4: There was something outside, wasn't It was always brought in.

618
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: And that's why I didn't take the next step out

619
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: because I knew that that would eventually heat sea froms.

620
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 4: And that's why I never said no. Because even though

621
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: you were.

622
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: You feel bad about those times a little bit, like

623
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: do you look back and.

624
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: Be like people were telling me?

625
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 3: What could they say about me? Anyway? Like what they absolutely.

626
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: Shot themselves in the floor, because there's still the same

627
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: people to me, but just to have a different read on.

628
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Them, damn to say that. How many couples have that

629
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about people, but how many couples would be

630
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: just fine if some outside force didn't they didn't allow him.

631
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it takes a while to get there.

632
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: It takes the other person to understand what's going on.

633
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: I protecting all.

634
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Right, last few things here. We asked all couples this,

635
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: give other couples some advice if you were able to

636
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: talk to all of them. People see successful couples, they

637
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: want to be like you, what do you see other

638
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: couples doing wrong?

639
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 4: Right?

640
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Not that you call them out on, but just generally

641
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: as you out there, what mistake do you see people

642
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: in these times these days, making mistakes about when it

643
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: comes to relationships.

644
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: Simple the image they're trying to portray that they have

645
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: that they don't. That's it what they supposedly say. They

646
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 4: look like, it's not what they do. Meaning these happy photographs,

647
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 4: all these images, they're most not really And.

648
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: We spend a lot of time trying to keep up

649
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: with that and catch up and yeah.

650
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: We listen. We nobody wants supposed to picture you angry,

651
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: sat like that's true, ruful ball. If it's all staged,

652
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: then what's really real? Right?

653
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: My big yes, and you're right, But my biggest thing

654
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: is that I would say with a couple is to

655
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: let things go. Do not drag out fights. You don't

656
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: always have to have the last word. Not every fight

657
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: is that important. Pick and choose your battles and just

658
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: most things are not something you're fighting about today, you

659
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: will never care about a year from now.

660
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: Is it worth?

661
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: It's so agree with you saying those horrible things. Holding

662
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: grudges in a relationship. You can't hold grudges in a relationship.

663
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: You have to let things go.

664
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 4: I would say do Your thing is if you're in

665
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 4: the wrong place, get out.

666
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: Like what with in a relationship with the wrong person.

667
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 4: Yes, when you know where you are if it's wrong

668
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: or right, you because you end up going I should

669
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: have left this time.

670
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 3: Time waits for no one. We could waste that. Life

671
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: is too short to be with the wrong person. It's hard,

672
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: but that's hard.

673
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: That's guys. Did this? You did this? And I'm like, well,

674
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: what are you doing there?

675
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 3: But did she really do it? Or was it? Because

676
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: maybe they like somebody else.

677
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: Well, so if they're still there, maybe she didn't or

678
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: maybe they don't know.

679
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: Right.

680
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: Final question? A lot of folks, did you have one

681
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: final question? I know this is kind of broad, but

682
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: this is everyone wants to know. What would you say?

683
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: The key to your relationship success is why do you

684
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: all work? How have you made it work?

685
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: Compromise?

686
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: That's it. I would agree with that.

687
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: I love it.

688
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 4: I cut the line on Italian food.

689
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: I took on my own. I go to my mother's

690
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: first spaghetti. I don't mean.

691
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: I do think like it's been fun to Laurence, but

692
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: seeing couples who can give each other ship is the

693
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: biggest sign of a healthy relationship because that means you

694
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: trust each other, you have confidence, you can take a jab.

695
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 2: We we jabbed each other all the time as friends.

696
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: We were constantly at each other's like just in a

697
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: silly fun way.

698
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: Okay, it kind of like it's that, you know, if

699
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: you don't do that, if you can't make a joke

700
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: out of it, or if you can't like let the

701
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 3: vent a little, it just fills up and then you

702
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: don't really like that person. You really don't like. If

703
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: you can't job at each other, then you really don't

704
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: you know.

705
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we feel the same about y'all.

706
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,440
