The 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: training is going great. I've never trained a puppy or 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: I've never had an actual trainer for a puppy. Yeah, 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: I was twenty what twenty, I don't even know for 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: something when I got Tyke and he was a Jack 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 2: Russell and that's like quite a feat.

Hard to remember that 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: they're still puppies, Like all puppies are yea in everything. 23 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: And showy and you know, loves a shoe, which we 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: know will not fly in our home. So we're just 25 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: but he's a good shoes. He's sleeping overnight, and they 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: had the heartbeat puppy, which I didn't even know I 27 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: got that for a Ranger. I didn't even know that 28 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: was a thing because I haven't had a puppy in 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: like twenty years. And if anybody doesn't know, it's a 30 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: little it has like almost like a build a bear 31 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: little heart beat inside of it, and it's just it's 32 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: cozy to him in his sweet little infancy. But he's 33 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: a good dude. He's supposed to have a play date 34 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: with Leo soon and he might go to daycare on Tuesdays. Lovely, 35 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: it's a little energy out. 36 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: We do daycare for the first time with Ranger when 37 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: he was a puppy, and it was great. 38 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a little I'm a little like, do I 39 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: really need to add one more thing or costs? 40 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: Let me say yes, for a time, I think it's 41 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: worth it because as puppies and energetic puppies, then they 42 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: come back tired and they're great when they get home. Yes, 43 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: I didn't really feel like taking them, and I was like, okay, 44 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: it's always worth it. Now the only you don't have 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: another dog, So it's fine. He did bring back something 46 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: to the other dog and got my other dog sick, 47 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: even though he'd been all the things. It's like children. 48 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: It's like children. Literally, was like, why is my bulldog sick? 49 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: He's literally never been anywhere, like doesn't even hardly go 50 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: out it And he's like, well, has anyone else been 51 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: a daycare? I'm like, this is like a child. I 52 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: think he's vaccinated or she's vaccinated. 53 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: I think it's important when it's a very hyper dog too, 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: like when it's like Doberman's those kind of dogs like 55 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: have to be more active. 56 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: Just they just have to. 57 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, I gave you three other puppies, Like you've 58 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: got your three kids in this home. Yeah, you know 59 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: during the day, that's Leo's chill time when the kids 60 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: get home. I mean he's running all around constantly. Just okay, 61 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: because I'm sure I just forget because it's in twenty years. 62 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, puppies are puppies. I know. 63 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: He's a sweet fan. He's a good time guys. I 64 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: have like such sad news.

He just told me, yeah, well I 69 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: don't know, and neither do that. 70 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: I usually don't know, so I know, I was so excited. 71 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: I didn't tell anybody. I mean, obviously we talked about 72 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: it on here that yeah, you know, speaking about doing it. 73 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: We found like the perfect place. I mean, it had 74 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: everything I wanted of you. Again, it was so tiny, 75 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: but it was like the perfect price, and once we 76 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 2: put the offer in felt great about it. Drove the 77 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: kids down for the inspection, and as we like pull up, 78 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: the inspectors like ooh, no, I don't want to be 79 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: bad news, and I'm just like no, and then he's like, 80 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: but it's okay. I would still measure things because I 81 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: brought the measuring tape to like measure. 82 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: All the windows. I wanted to. 83 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: Build this like bank banquette in the if I don't 84 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 2: know if that's how you say it, but banquet thing 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: in the in the kitchen area, and you know, so 86 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: I was like measuring that. I already reached out to 87 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: like the tradesmen people to like start scheduling them and uh, 88 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: and then we got the final report. Well, they called 89 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: us that day as we were driving home, and you know, 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: the our realtor was like, the inspector just called because 91 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: he hadn't looked under the house yet, and so he 92 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: was just like, it would be easier if you just 93 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: light it on fire. No, that bad, that's what he said. 94 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: Shoot. So I told that to Nick. I said, well, 95 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: inspection didn't go well. 96 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: The inspector said that we should probably just light it 97 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: on fire, and uh. But then I sent it to 98 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Nick and he said, I thought you were just being dramatic. 99 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: He goes, but you know, he's like some of the 100 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: things the people were He's like, I didn't really care 101 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: about it, he said. But the other stuff, he's like, 102 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: when it comes to like foundation and cracking of wood 103 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: and or the the what was. 104 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: That called rock? 105 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: There was wood rock, but there was it was a 106 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: crumbling and then the foundation the house was sloping a 107 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: little bit. But I'm like, yeah, I mean I noticed it. Yeah, 108 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: it was like there's a little lean but like it's 109 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: an old home, you know. 110 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: What I mean. And so I you know, I talked. 111 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: It would in the living room, it would like it 112 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: would roll. But I'm like, no, it's fine, you know. 113 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: So but then there was like a few electrical things too, 114 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: but I always look at it as we can fix it, right, 115 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: And this is a part of the inspection piece where 116 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 2: then you go back and you negotiate a different price 117 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: because this is what it's going to be for a foundation, 118 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: and you know, so I call the real turn and 119 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: I'm just like, listen, I'm we're after an old home 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 2: because of the price, right, so we have to stay 121 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: at this price range. We're not going to find a 122 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: clean inspection on any of the places. The foundation's not 123 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: going to be great. Most of these things are on hills. 124 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: We're going to have foundation issues, so and we can't 125 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: go above this price. So we're not going to get 126 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: a new built, you know. So I'm just like, how 127 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: much would it cost to get a structural person in there? 128 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: Because I love the house so much? And he basically 129 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: was just like, I mean you could. He's like, but 130 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: he's like, it's just like you're putting lipstick on a pig. 131 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: And I'm just like, he goes, you'll find it. It's 132 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: just I just wouldn't put He's like, there's just so 133 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: much that's unknown, and he goes and in two years, 134 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: this could be a catastrophic event. So so so what 135 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: does that even mean for the property event? Like at 136 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: some point these owners are also not going to want 137 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: to set so they'll probably see the inspection and they'll 138 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: they'll have to This is the thing too. He's like 139 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: in these cases, he goes, we would like to get 140 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 2: the money to fix it, because a lot of times 141 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: what happened, what he thinks happened with some of the 142 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: electrical stuff is they'll they maybe made the last people 143 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: fix it, but all they did was just put little 144 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: patches on things, so they didn't actually fix it properly. 145 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: So there's so many cots. 146 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, the inspectors like, I don't know how this house 147 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: hasn't been set on fire yet with all the electrical 148 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: coating that's so raw, and my dryers and like another 149 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: thing too, is like and in the dock, He's like 150 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: one of the wires is like, if this gets nicked 151 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: at all, you guys are electrocuted in the water, and. 152 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, thank you, I'm. 153 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: Out, Janne traps are It's like actually, but I'm also like, 154 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: well can it be fixed? 155 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I still like it's. 156 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: Gonna have to go somewhere like, they're not going to 157 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: burn the actual house down, so how can we make 158 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: this a home again? Well, now, if that just isn't 159 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: metaphorical for how we operate in life. You know, the 160 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: foundation is a little cracked, but I think we can 161 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: fix it. Literally join us in real estate and relationships here. 162 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: Annoyed because if it was like a few of those 163 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: things you could fix. But when it's a lot, well 164 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: that's the thing. 165 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: Nick was like, I mean you could call a structural 166 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: He's like, the thing is is it has to be 167 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: fixed now or it will be catastrophic. So I was like, well, 168 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: then let's fix it. But again the realtor is just 169 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: like you are just he's like, this is going to 170 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: this could be a potential money pit. If it's not, 171 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: it'll be something over And I'm like, we're going to 172 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: do that. But it was just like and and so 173 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: I had a real good cry about it because I 174 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: was bought, Like I was so excited, you know, because 175 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: I have this like vision, and then hearing the kid's 176 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: laugh there and they loved it, and then having you 177 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: don't do these things often, you just don't. I don't 178 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: dream up these things and forward with it, right, I 179 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: dream a lot of things. 180 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I never you went forward with it as 181 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: quickly as you did. 182 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never actually put things into action in the 183 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: calllo and got me to my dream car. 184 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm forty two years old. Yeah, you know. 185 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: So it's just like no, like I'm as I'm getting 186 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: older and my kids are getting older. I'm just I'm 187 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: wanting to do the things that I want to do 188 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: for memories and I don't want us to be electrocuted 189 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: in the water. Yeah, and you also don't want to 190 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: spend so much money just like that doesn't that takes 191 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: the joy out of owning a property when you're constantly 192 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 2: just happy. But that's not fun, it's not what it's 193 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: there for. But I think the hardest part was I've 194 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: never because I've never, I've never had an inspection. 195 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: Go bad like this. 196 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: You know, usually it's well then my last two have 197 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: been two builds, and then before that the things would 198 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: have been fixed. I've never had to like walk away 199 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: from a deal from something that I love to and 200 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: and so, but then having to go through and like 201 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: delete the picks. 202 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: Portion thing. But your house is waiting for you. 203 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: I always, I firmly believe in real estate, like your 204 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: house will find you. 205 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: I've always felt that way. 206 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: But the problem with me, though, is I go so like, 207 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: we're done, it's done. It wasn't meant to be like 208 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: the foundation ship everything ship, you. 209 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: Know, like I'm just so. 210 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: Then I go metaphors, My metaphors fly, Why and what 211 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: is this represent? 212 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? I should burn it to the ground. I burn 213 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: it to the ground. Yeah. 214 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just not a great house. I cannot live 215 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: my life without a metaphor something to Yeah, something must 216 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: be metaphorically connected. Yeah, and sometimes it's just to show 217 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: you that you're willing. It's an exercise in bravery that 218 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: you were willing to take the risk and go. 219 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: And take leap. And now you can be a little 220 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: more picky. But what does it mean? Can be though, 221 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: that's the thing. 222 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: The next option is a trailer house on a for 223 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: you know, it gets slippery down there. I'm not going 224 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: to lie, did you well, we looked it down because 225 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: you know, again, we're Michigan kids. I think there's just 226 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: something when you grow up in a lake. 227 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: Town or a lake state. 228 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: We're just it is so calming to us, and so 229 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: we that's what I said. 230 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: No, But we so I you look at the smitha 231 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: like too. Yeah. 232 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, And so there was one he and I sent 233 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 2: I go what about this one? Because I'm like, okay, 234 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: let's go back to the drawing board. What about this one? 235 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: And the guy goes, it's a trailer park. I go, 236 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: but it's got a beautiful lot, like I know, and 237 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: it's not a good couple of her boy gets hired. Deep, yeah, 238 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: it's next to a really big house. And I know 239 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: it's just tricky, but I do. I just really against 240 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: trailer parks. No, that's a trailer home. It wasn't a 241 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: trailer park. It was a trailer home. He's like, it 242 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: was a trailer home that was put in this lot. 243 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: The problem is like. 244 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: A lot of that area, how much you're paying for 245 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: that's it, and that area these people have for people 246 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: that don't know that area. They had put these trailers 247 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: kind of haphazardly on these pieces of land, So you 248 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: would pay all this money and you would still have 249 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: foundation issues again, like yeah, the way that they're set 250 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: up or the land that their on's not even So 251 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: it's not you being picky, it's just that literally you 252 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: could just be asleep and it could slide away. So 253 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: that's a problem. Yeah, and then he's like, well, why 254 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 2: don't we revisit this one again. I'm like, cause it's 255 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: boring and it's new and it's too expensive. You're going 256 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: to find it, Cramer, And when you do, I'm just 257 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: excited for all of us that we get a lake house.

Am I doing the right thing? 338 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: But now I'm. 339 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: Terrified for her birthday party because I don't want those 340 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: moms to be like, well, why wasn't she invited? 341 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: And why wasn't she invited? 342 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, even though one is a very new friendship, and 343 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: then one is they've been friends, but they've been having issues. 344 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Oh it's so tricky. Okay, So I think you handled 345 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: it right, agreed. 346 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: I do think it's a sleepover too, so that's another 347 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: thing if you don't want and there was an issue 348 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 2: with the last sleepover with somebody, you know what I mean. 349 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: So I'm just like, ah, yeah, I do think I 350 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: learned a lesson at Emmy's not this last birthday party, 351 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: but the one before that. She invited a girl who 352 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: she did want to invite, but everyone was a little 353 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: bit not very nice to her at the party. The 354 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: girl that they did the other girls, Okay, we're not 355 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: very nice to her. And so I had said something 356 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: to some of the moms that I was closer to 357 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: and did say all of them were not very even 358 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: though I wouldn't say Emmy was mean to her, but 359 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: she also didn't go out of her way to make 360 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: her feel great either. In my opinion, I was there 361 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: with them the whole time, watched it all. But their 362 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: point of view was I'm not going to force my child. 363 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: And it wasn't that they were mean, they just weren't inclusive, 364 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But their point of view 365 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: was I'm not going to force my child to be 366 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: someone be friends with someone they don't want to be 367 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: friends with. And I was like, Okay, now they don't 368 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: want them to be mean, but they also are not. 369 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, because I'm so like that. 370 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, let's just include everyone, whether you want to 371 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: be friends with them or not. 372 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: And I also liked the moms, so like, that's hard 373 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: too because we're friends. So that's where it's hard, because 374 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: I'm friends with them, you know. But I also don't 375 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: want to push my friends, you know, I learn friends. 376 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: I am learning that that I pushing the moment right now. 377 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: If one sorry with again, she's not close with one, 378 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: and one just they're just having some yeah girl issues 379 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: at the moment. 380 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think pushing them has backfired on me in 381 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: the past, so I agree. But I always say exactly 382 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: what you said, how would you feel? I mean, every day, 383 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: in every situation when someone's not you know, even just 384 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: a sleepover tonight, you know, I would say, how would 385 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: you feel if so and so wasn't you know, because 386 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: and then that that's their decision at that point, I think, 387 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: and then they have to live with the repercussions of it. 388 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: If said girl starts, you know, does get upset or 389 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: gets mad at her. 390 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: I say something to the parents, I would what would 391 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: you say. 392 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: Like, hey, learning now I would what would you say? Though, 393 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: I think I would send a message before that just 394 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: says hey, this is you know, been really hard for 395 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: me because obviously we're friends. She's having a sleepover party, 396 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: so she can't have a lot of girls. That is true, 397 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: because is tense. 398 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: My lord, I don't know how for the I'm like eight, 399 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: Oh sorry, it's I have one hundred and forty dollars 400 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: for eight tenths. 401 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: So we did cap it. 402 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: I mean, now, granted I would have probably added more 403 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: if but when I went to go book the things, 404 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 2: I was like, damn, I'm glad you come. 405 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: Also, a sleepover with fifteen kids is also, I would say, 406 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: versus ten though, like I. 407 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 2: So my thing is is like she didn't want to 408 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 2: invite the whole because a lot of times the whole 409 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 2: class would be like listen, if she's doing a birthday, 410 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: pray invite all the girls. There's only one girl from 411 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: her classroom that's going because she just wants she has 412 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: so many pockets, you know, like Ramsey in Love and 413 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 2: you know, so that's where it becomes a little and 414 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 2: so many girls in the neighborhood, that's the part. 415 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: We hold. So many girls in the neighborhood, it's a lot. 416 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think I've said this to someone before 417 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 2: because and I think it might have even been one 418 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: of you two, because they are getting older and you 419 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: also want them to exercise and gain strength and like 420 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: knowing what they know and not second guessing themselves. So 421 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: I had had to send a note to a mom 422 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: two birthdays ago we did something for love, and I 423 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: just said I am allowing her to exercise her own 424 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: guest list and I have suggested friends and she is 425 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: ultimately the one that gets the final say. And so 426 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: this is our first round of that and I just 427 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: don't I'm sorry. If there's hurt feelings, I'm sick to 428 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: my stomach. 429 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: What would you say? I would definitely say it's a sleepover. 430 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We had to keep it small because that 431 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: is the truth every time, and a sleepover I always 432 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: had to put a cap. And this is hard for 433 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: me because I know that we are friends for the 434 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: one Unfortunately they don't know each other that well, and 435 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: she's got friends from different pockets that, you know, so 436 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: we just have to we had to cap it. I'm 437 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: so sorry. We will probably post stuff on social media, 438 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: and I don't want your feelings to be hurt. I 439 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: would just be very honest, and with the other one, 440 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I know she loves her, 441 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: but they're obviously going through something right now and she's 442 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: just not feeling very comfortable with having her I hope 443 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: they repair that and in the future that they can 444 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 1: hang out more and get to be back in a 445 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: great place. I love you. I'm so sorry, you know, 446 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you a heads up before 447 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: I would appreciate that. I would appreciate that head. 448 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: Instead of just like saying, because obviously I'm not not 449 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: going to story social media and what I'm a Reagan. 450 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: It always just makes it hit a little bit different, 451 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: you just. 452 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 2: Because it's like with Ashley, she's like, oh, seeing it 453 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 2: on social media wasn't included, I know exactly. But also 454 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 2: they would find out anyway. So even if you didn't story, 455 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 2: you don't want the girls to, but they can't be 456 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: excited that they did something to you know, they would 457 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: find out no matter what.

We have a 632 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 2: three year we have a three year and two year old. 633 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: And as much as I realize this is a phase 634 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: and I am not willing to give up on our marriage, 635 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 2: and my husband has voice that he doesn't know what 636 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: he wants and doesn't know if we can find ourselves 637 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 2: back to each other. He is starting to see a therapist, 638 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: but all has all voice that he's afraid to uncover 639 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: that he might not want to save this marriage. To me, 640 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: it sounds like he has made up his mind and 641 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: is kind of just skating around saying it. And honestly, 642 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things I feel like I need 643 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: in a relationship that I do not get from him, 644 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 2: and also wonder if we are a compatible long term. However, 645 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 2: I refuse to give up on my children and only 646 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: see them fifty percent of the time. I would rather 647 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 2: stay in a loveless marriage and be a great cole 648 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: parent than lose my kids fifty percent. Does that sound crazy? 649 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: Is there an age we're not having your kids all 650 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: the time is easier? Also, Kat, how are you able 651 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: to reconcile your marriage before getting divorced? Any tips to 652 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: finding that love again? 653 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot to that. Start with the part about 654 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: he's kind of already decided that he doesn't. I mean 655 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: they're going to have to go. Both of them are 656 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: going to have to go to therapy, and even if 657 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: they're if you're not willing to go together separately to 658 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: figure out who you know, how you feel, and if 659 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 1: you want to fight for it, because I mean I 660 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: definitely felt like I wanted to leave before I did, 661 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: but avoided going to therapy to kind of make that decision, 662 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: and then went to therapy and then made that decision 663 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: and then changed my mind. So it's all a lot. 664 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: I think, Oh God, this sounds bad to say this, 665 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: but I think the grass isn't always greener. I think 666 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: when you're in it and it feels like your roommates 667 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, but I could be on my 668 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: own and I could do this, And while that's terrifying, 669 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: that's also like exciting and like I don't have to 670 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: deal with somebody else, and you know all the things 671 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: if you're my personality type, and then you get there 672 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: and you're like, like, I could have done single easy 673 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: in the sense my kids were older, so I essentially 674 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: saw them every day because we were taking someone here 675 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: and taking someone there. So she's got you. You know, 676 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: you've got younger kids, and that's harder and one of 677 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: the reasons why I waited till later to even kind 678 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: of go that that route. So when they get older, 679 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: I do think it gets a little bit easier because 680 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: you're kind of forced to not really even be there 681 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,479 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the time. They get busy, you have 682 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: to go to sports, someone's got to take them here. 683 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: You just see them more when they get older. But 684 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: what was her question to me. 685 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: How did you reconcile your marriage before getting divorced? Any 686 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: tips for finding that love again? 687 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, it was for me, it was just I 688 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: had to, like, I'm so bad at being vulnerable, so 689 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: bad at being vulnerable and had never really been and 690 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: so I just had to, like I finally had like 691 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: a vulnerable moment of Okay, I thought, this is what 692 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: I wanted, but this wasn't really what I wanted, and 693 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: I didn't really try. 694 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: I think y'all needed that separation, though, too for you 695 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: to figure that out one hundred percent. So I would 696 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 2: i'd vote for before you guys file for anything, do 697 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: a trial separation first, because I think people in that alone, 698 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: that time alone, go wait a minut. 699 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: This is and what actually want. So and I go 700 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: back on this a lot. I'm like, I wonder if 701 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: I should have told my kids, you know, I didn't 702 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: want to tell them we were doing a separation, which 703 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: we weren't intending on doing a separation, even though that's 704 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: what it ended up being. You know, I think for 705 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: the older ones it was okay. For the younger one 706 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't. She still sees it as we got divorced 707 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: and then we got remarried, you know, like she will 708 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: never kind of unforesee it that way no matter what 709 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: I say, so I do. Looking back, I was like, man, 710 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to protect them and not say this is 711 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: a separation. Okay, well now we're getting divorced, or now 712 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: we're not, you know, but looking back, I wish we 713 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: would have. I wish we would have done a true 714 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: separation to see how we felt instead of just being done. 715 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: I just didn't want to go through it twice, Like 716 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: I didn't want to have to go through this conversation 717 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: all again, you know. I didn't want to have to like, Okay, 718 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: now we have to make our decision. But looking back, 719 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: I wish I would have done it that way. So 720 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: that would probably be my advice, Like you said, you know, 721 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: maybe take a trial separation and see if it is 722 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: what you both really want after doing some therapy. I 723 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: would also just. 724 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: Encourage you that you are in the absolute freaking thick 725 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: of it. 726 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: Thick of it three and. 727 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: Two is such a very difficult time to get a 728 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: good read on yourself or your marriage, like, at least 729 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: in my experience, and I can see retrospectively, like how 730 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: Preston and I grew apart and places where we didn't 731 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: lean into each other and where both of us sought 732 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: validation in different ways, and you know, like I just 733 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: want to speak life into this person so much and 734 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 2: into their marriage because it is hard and in my experience, 735 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: and I don't think this is all men I just 736 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: think the trying maternal instinct and be living for another 737 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: human is so instinctual to women because we start the 738 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: process so early. We carry them, we mother them, we 739 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: sleepless with them, we breastfeed them, or at least we 740 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: attempt to, and so it's so in us to put 741 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 2: them first, and like it's almost easier for us to 742 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: put them first than it is to put a marriage first. 743 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: And I think that at least in my sweet little 744 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 2: vulnerable moment of exposing some of our marriage, that was 745 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 2: hard for Preston because he wasn't my first priority any 746 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: I think that's hard for a lot of men, and 747 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 2: if he didn't want them to not be a priority, 748 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: but it was a real shock to his little ecosystem 749 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 2: that I actually wasn't sure if he even had eaten today, 750 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 2: but I was positive that the other two had, you know, 751 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: had like nutritious, wonderful meals. And like, I just want 752 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: to encourage you to lean in a little bit, my 753 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 2: And I'm not a therapist, so I'm just speaking from 754 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 2: my own experience. Well, I feel like people lean into 755 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 2: our opinions, and I don't want it to be like 756 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: I'm right, Like I just know what we walked so intimately, 757 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 2: and I wish I would have had somebody speak more 758 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 2: life into my marriage. And I wish I had the 759 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 2: courage to write something like this to someone and say 760 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: like he's feeling this way or whatever. And Preston wasn't 761 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: wanting to lead. But I bet if I asked him 762 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: in those little years, do you miss would you want 763 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 2: to live alone? I mean, I don't think he'd ever 764 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 2: want to live alone, but I bet he had a 765 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: moment where he was like, I would love someone to 766 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: think I'm really important for a second, you know. I mean, 767 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: it's a lot to so I just want to say 768 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: a I will pray over you and your spouse. I 769 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: will do that because I know it gets disconnected and 770 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 2: I just want you to lean into each other. I 771 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: would imagine that his words are him feeling like he 772 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: doesn't have a It's not I'm not defending him at all. 773 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 2: It's not really super handsome to me to want to leave. 774 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: Just my little opinion, but like, also my guess is 775 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 2: maybe that's not even what he wants. He just doesn't 776 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 2: know what else to say or how else to configure 777 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 2: it in his brain. I think it's great he's going 778 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 2: to therapy. I do too, think that's a wonderful thing. 779 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: I hope you guys can maybe do couple therapy. But 780 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 2: I will say this, I would rather be single than 781 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 2: be in a leveless marriage. I've learned that I don't 782 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 2: want her to settle. Yeah, I know it is I 783 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 2: don't love being away from my kids. You guys have 784 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: heard me say that a million times on here. But 785 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 2: being in a loveless marriage is one of the loneliest, 786 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 2: miserable places ever. And you're not a good mom. I 787 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 2: just wasn't a good mom. I was. I was my 788 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 2: worst version trying in a loveless marriage. So yeah, I 789 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 2: don't even really want that to be an option for her, 790 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 2: the loveless marriage. And still, you guys either figured out 791 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: or I just think you can figure it out. I 792 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 2: still think you're just I think little years are so 793 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 2: in the trenches that it is hard to see up. 794 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: But if you can sit for a minute, maybe reconnect her, 795 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 2: it's each other. 796 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: In therapy, I would encourage him to maybe not make 797 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: any drastic decisions right now in the middle of the 798 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: young little ages, and make sure that you know it's 799 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: exactly what he wants. 800 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: But sit together in therapy for him and having said 801 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 2: that though the young ages is easier, like Jase doesn't 802 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 2: remember Mike and Idy guy, right, it's true, Like it's true. 803 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: He's just like, yeah, sometimes we'll see a video, the 804 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 2: ones that I haven't deleted.
