31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: but first, as always, we're going to start with the

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: titillating question of the day. Here we go. You ready,

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: what does monogamy mean when dating in your senior years?

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: What off your long distance? Is it necessary to be monogamous?

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: And what does that look like? Is it just so

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: I need a drum roll here? What do you think?

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: Who?

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: So?

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: Monogamy is monogamy? It meant the same thing when I

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: was twenty thirty, forty fifty and sixty.

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: And what does it mean to you? Well, but you're

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: just you and him? What does it mean you're just

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: dating just having sex? Define it for me. Get out

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: your Webster's dictionary.

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: Well, see, for me, it's always a relationship with one person.

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm not arguing with you.

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I just included when you're in a relationship. I mean,

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: there's there's a friend with benefits. Is that monogamous? Well,

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, because there's no means when there's just

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: a friend with benefits.

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: No, I mean way, I can honestly tell you. And

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: I'm not asking you because but I'm just telling you

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: I've never had a friend with benefits because to me,

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: sex is more than just hey, you know, let's have

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: sex tonight and get up and have and it's or

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: bagels in the morning.

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just sex.

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: That's just sex.

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Some people choose to and that's that.

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't judge them.

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: And then it says, what if you're long distance? So

62
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: when I heard you say that that means sex, No,

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: the first thing that came to mind is trust issues.

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go down that road. Let's go down that road. Okay,

65
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: So dating long distance, you know, I'm in a position

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: my kids are grown. I've always said, if I meet

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: the right guy, I'm I'm I'm leaving. I'm going to

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: be with that guy, and I'm going to travel, you know,

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: back to see my grandkids and my children. Having said that,

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: I if I have trust issues, I'm not going to

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: be with that.

72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Never work it could never work right.

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, but monogamy to me is I don't care

74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: what age I agree with? These isn't I don't care

75
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: what age it is. Monogamy means one man one woman,

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: or two men and two women, whatever. It is two

77
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: people together and not with other uh, not with other

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: other people. However, I could be dating a guy, now,

79
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: could I have I'm asking you, could I have? I

80
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: have some male friends, could I could I still go

81
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: out with.

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Them on a date or just go for dinner, hang

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: out friends, that's friends. But would you be okay if

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: he had female friends and went out?

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: I hate you, honestly. I think the thing is it

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: would depend on the guy's conversation. It's a conversation. I

87
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: know me, I know me. I have male friends, but

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sleeping with them. You know, they're friends. We

89
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: got to dinner, I go to his house.

90
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: That's not a date.

91
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have to say, I'd have to really

92
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: be so comfortable with that guy that I'm with in

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: that monogamous relationship that every minute he's thinking about me

94
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: not I mean.

95
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: How exactly you have to have the trust and understand?

96
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: Now, are you a trusting person? Because I am too much.

97
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: So do you think long distance then is hard?

98
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: I think it could be because you're going to want

99
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: to or me, I would want to be with that

100
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: person more if he lived four miles away or twenty

101
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: five miles away, rather than have to take a flight.

102
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: When I see long distance, to me, you got to

103
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: fly somewhere to see them. But if that were the case,

104
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: how exciting because you're looking forward to it. Who were

105
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: we interviewing? Was it Ben? Who were we talking to?

106
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: And they said they set it up before they left

107
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: each other? Yeah it was Ben, Ben? Yeah, yes, and

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: they had that date. You know it's coming, let's go home,

109
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: let's do what we need to do, and you look

110
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: forward to that day that. I think that can work.

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: So so what would you say to a man just

112
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: just for convenience? We're gonna I'm going to talk heterosexual relationships,

113
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: but this applies to all for as far as I'm concerned.

114
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: If if you were dating a guy long distance, and he,

115
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: you know, he said to you, look, you're my girl,

116
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: but you know I I sleep with other women, but

117
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: it's just sex, would you ever be okay with that?

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: No? I couldn't.

119
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it.

120
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Either I couldn't do it because to me, it's not

121
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: just sex. That's intimacy.

122
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 2: Well, there's several forms of intimacy, I think, and sex

123
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: is one formation.

124
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 1: Sex is just sex, I mean it is, well it's sex.

125
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: Well that's the think. What if the guy said to

126
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: you and you know, look, it's justous.

127
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: No, that's what I'm saying. Could you I can't, but

128
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: I could imagine a man saying, oh, no, monogamy to

129
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: me means I love you. You're the woman I care for.

130
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: Sex is just you know, bodily function. I'm just really

131
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it, but I think there are men

132
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: out there that I think that's okay.

133
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: He won't be my guy. My guy is the question.

134
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: We are seniors.

135
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. To me, it would not matter.

136
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: But then it says, is it necessary to be monogamous?

137
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: And what does that look like? Is it to me?

138
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 2: To me, it's necessary, and it's it's never just sex,

139
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: And you know when when you think about it, I

140
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: don't know women, so I've been told women attach a

141
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: lot more meaning to sex that man.

142
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: I think sex is sex, that's it.

143
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh you think, really, if a man loves you, you

144
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything beyond just physical release. I don't

145
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: believe that.

146
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be more into it because he

147
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: loves you. But sex is sex.

148
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: Oh wow, for the man. Oh I don't believe that.

149
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so so different.

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: Hold on, if you believe sex is just sex, no you.

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say that was for a man.

152
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: I said for a man. If you're saying that, then

153
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: you're buying into Uh, it's just sex. I love you.

154
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: You know you're dating Joe. I'm making a name up, Joe.

155
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: I love you, Susan. You're the woman of my dreams.

156
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: But he's had sex with Kathy three days ago and that.

157
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: But that's just sex. But just sex, Susan, I don't

158
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 2: love her. I love you. Not my world, but it's

159
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: okay in their world.

160
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: Some yeah, I guess it is.

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: So all you men out there, that guy, all these

162
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: men out there, if you're interested in Susan or me,

163
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: let me, let me. Let me cut this down to

164
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: the simplest of terms. Few monogamy means you're only having

165
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: sex with us one person, well, not both of us together.

166
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Obviously you're only that would be men walk which you know,

167
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: it's a whole other conversation for another time, but I'm

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: just saying that's for us. I think women believe that

169
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: monogamy is just having sex with one person.

170
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: And do you know, I actually know women, not many

171
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: that had relationships I guess you can call them open

172
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: relationships that they had sex and they dated. And yet

173
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: the guy and the girl had other partners that they

174
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: dated and had sex. I don't think I could handle it.

175
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I know I had a guy. I wasn't going

176
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: to tell you this, and I certainly wasn't going to

177
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 2: put on our podcasts. But since no one's listening but

178
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: you and me, we're just talking among us. I had

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 2: a guy reached out to me the other day who said,

180
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: you are absolutely stunningly beautiful. I would love to meet you,

181
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: but I need you to know I'm in an open marriage.

182
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've seen how fast did I block him?

183
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: No? Well, I would respond it and said, I'm so

184
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: you know what your honesty, However, that's not my game.

185
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: You know what? I had just watched them. No, I

186
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: had to watch the dusk grow on the furniture. I

187
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: only had so much time, and I chose to watch

188
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: the dust grow. No, I'm not responding to that, I'm

189
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: not I'm not dignifying that with an answer absolutely not.

190
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: Let's move on.

191
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah right, oh boy? All right?

192
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: What do you think?

193
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: Should we get into our fan questions or should we

194
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: keep talking about not?

195
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't know. Please let's get into the fan questions.

196
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm in okay?

197
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: You want to go first?

198
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: You want me to read no, knock yourself up?

199
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: Go okay. This is from anonymous. Hi ladies. I have

200
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: been dating this guy for the past six months and

201
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: it's been going well for the most part. At sixty

202
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: two years old, I am just so excited to be

203
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: in a relationship and it's really been fun. We live

204
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: about three hours away from one another, but see each

205
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: other a few times a month and we text and

206
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: call all the time. Unfortunately, over the past few weeks,

207
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: my guy has been saying some things that have raised

208
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: some red flags for me, and I need help knowing

209
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: if I should stick around or move on. We have

210
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: been working on defining our relationship and thinking about where

211
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: we could be down the road. He made a comment

212
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: about how I would be the last vagina he ever

213
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: sleeps with, and it really grossed me out.

214
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: A wait, stop, you said vagina like you weren't sure

215
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: what it was vagina.

216
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: I just say, he said that you're going to be

217
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: my last vagina, monogamous, monogamy, go ahead, keep going, the

218
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: last vagina he ever sleeps with. And it really grows

219
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: me out. He also is still on dating apps, though

220
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: he said he doesn't necessarily talk to anyone there, it's

221
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: just for looking. Oh boy. I went into our next

222
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: date or hang hang good, yeah, hang out, thinking that

223
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I was going to break up with him, but then

224
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: he told me that he loves me. It's been very

225
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: confusing and mixed signals. I really do love him and

226
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: had have had so much fun with him and don't

227
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: want to be single again. Any advice is appreciated. Love

228
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: you both.

229
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Can I jump in? Can I jump in? Yes?

230
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: Please?

231
00:12:53,679 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: Anonymous. Here's my here's my gut reaction, my intuition. You

232
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: can be single now, or you can go down the

233
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: road with this guy and you trust and believe me,

234
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: you'll be single later. This guy has no clue. He

235
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: does not want you to be the last vagina he

236
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: ever sleeps with. He clearly it does not want to

237
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: be monogamous.

238
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: And but Kathy, did you notice she said we have

239
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: been working on defining our relationship and thinking about where

240
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: we could be down the road. Uh huh.

241
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: Where we could be down the road is he's got

242
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: several other vaginas he's dealing with. That's where you're going

243
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: to be down the road. And you know what, it's okay,

244
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: back to what we said earlier. If you agree to that,

245
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: it's great. But my guess is based on what Anonymous

246
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: is saying. She's not okay with multiple vaginas being in

247
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: her life.

248
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: So also, I hope to God because it grossed her out.

249
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: She addressed that with him when she saw him. That

250
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: would be one of the things I would talk to

251
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: him about. Why would you say, last vagina, that is

252
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: not well that it's just gross.

253
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: It is well respectful. But you missed on who he is.

254
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not on my dance card list. I

255
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: can tell you if but wait, she said, but then

256
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: he told me he loved me. Ladies, Please, I'm going

257
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: to speak for Susan and me together. Susan correct me

258
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. Ladies, the be all to end all

259
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: is not that a man tells you he loves you.

260
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: It's in his actions, It's in his behavior. It is.

261
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: Words are easy. Words are words, words are cheap. Actions

262
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: are what defines a man. It's what defines everyone. Don't

263
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: listen to what I say, watch what I do. So

264
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: I think, Anonymous, you are getting sucked in because he

265
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: told you he loves you. He didn't say he loves you,

266
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: and he's not going to sleep around or find of.

267
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: The let's not forget he's still on the dating site.

268
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's because he Susan, do you know why he

269
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: he's looking? No? He stopped the sentence there. He said,

270
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm just looking. He's looking for other vaginas. And if

271
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: she doesn't see that's what I'm saying, sweetie, Anonymous. If

272
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: you don't see this for what it is, I'm sorry

273
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: you might have to learn a tough lesson. But I

274
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: would have the conversation with him, definitely. If you're okay

275
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: with multiple sex partners, then move forward in this relationship.

276
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: But if you're not the Gina Susan, Susan, I can't

277
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: get past I can't, I can't, I can't throw up

278
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: in my mouth.

279
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: Okay, that's lasting Vagina.

00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean says that I don't know. Don't drive three

00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: hours ever again for a last vagina. Man, Okay, just

00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: us know. Oh, by the way, and im and I'm

288
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: being serious here, if he's sleeping around you better require

289
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: condoms and a blood test, an STD test, respect exactly,

290
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: a note from the doctor.

291
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: Good luck anonymous, Good luck anonymous.

292
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: Let us know how it goes. Okay, our next one

293
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: is another anonymous.

294
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Just pause, think about this. What what would your reaction

295
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: be if he said that to you? I can't get passed, susan,

296
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: my dear, my last vagina? Am I supposed to go?

297
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: I love you?

298
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think I have to be

299
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: honest with you. You and I are confident women, and I

300
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: think this guy has probably given off vibes that are

301
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: disgusting in other ways. But she's put up with it.

302
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: So the fact that he is on dating sites and

303
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: she says he doesn't necessarily talk to him when they're anonymous.

304
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: I'm willing to bet my I'm willing to bet my

305
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: last you know, my grandchild. Trust and believe he is

306
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: talking to other women. People are not on dating sites.

307
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: To look. You want to go windows shopping, Go to

308
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: the sporting goods store. Okay, all right, moving on high lady.

309
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: This again from anonymous. Hi ladies. My sixty two year

310
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: old neighbor lost his wife of forty years eighteen months ago.

311
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. She was the love of his life and

312
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: was beloved by everyone. Two months after her death, he

313
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: sold their home and moved to a fifty five and

314
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: up community. I thought it was quick, but after his

315
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: wife's long battle with cancer, I'm sure he needed a change.

316
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: After vacationing with us and another couple in January, he

317
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: opened up about being lonely and said he was ready

318
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: to begin dating. We were happy to hear this. He's

319
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: a wonderful man, smart, successful, attractive, and has a great personality.

320
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago he had a first date with a

321
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: lady he met online. In those two weeks, they've met

322
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: each other's young adult children, have had dinner with very

323
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: close friends, have babysat his grandchild, and seen each other

324
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: every single day. He even shared with me last evening

325
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: that he's had the prenup talk with her already, I

326
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: thought to myself, WHOA, what's the hurry? Seems like this

327
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: is moving at warp speed. I care for this guy

328
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: and would hate to see him rush into something as

329
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: serious as marriage. Do I have a heart to heart

330
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: with him about my concerns or keep my mouth shut

331
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: and just be happy for him. I'm leaning toward the latter.

332
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: Thanks concerned Friend's Anonymous, You got it right, baby, Keep your.

333
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: Mouth shut shut because people can meet and can fall

334
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: really quick. And if people does happen, if people.

335
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: Do see, if.

336
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: People do think it's touching, I think it's harder for

337
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: because they think, oh what is she money hungry or or.

338
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: Whatever it is? Or is he is he just desperate?

339
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: Because but here's the thing, Susan, here's the thing. If

340
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't work out, they've tried to make it work out,

341
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: and they've enjoyed the time together. And time is short, folks.

342
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: Time is short. And when yours and golden years are short,

343
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: it's not like you're twenty.

344
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: Three and have to build a future and buy your

345
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: first house and have children.

346
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: All. Yeah, yeah, So, I say, Anonymous, you know, I

347
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: know we're going to catch some flat for this, but

348
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: I would never have said this, you know, earlier in

349
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: my life. But now you find the man that you

350
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: think you love, you find the woman that you think

351
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: you love, go for it, jump in and see what happens.

352
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: Because you don't get these days back. You don't get

353
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: this time back, you know, as much as we need

354
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: to admit it, Susan, we talk about this being our

355
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: last chapter and our best chapter, and for I think

356
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: it is. But you know what, don't waste a day

357
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: of it. Don't waste a day if it doesn't know.

358
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: Kathy, if they're really close and she finds him alone

359
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: and they're talking, she could say something, but just say,

360
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: you know, I'm so happy for you. You guys seem so

361
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: happy and are you sure you know? Is this? Is

Speaker 1: that on a note, on a positive note. Yeah, just

364
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: she could have them over for dinner.

365
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: So would I?

366
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,040

Speaker 1: get married either, do I? I would like to be engaged,

382

383
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,679

Speaker 1: Just be honest, I do I haven't learned one in

386
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: a really long time. Okay, so you could lift together.

387
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean all those prenups and all that, none of

388
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: that is necessary.

389
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: I well, no, no, no, no, no no no no no

390
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: no no. In many states, if you cohabitate and you

391
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: live together for more than one year, yeah, and you

392
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: share bills, your name is an Abil, you are then

393
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: considered legally married and that so absolutely I would I

394
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: would have a preemp.

395
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: Do you feel about it? Would you just live with

396
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: somebody or do you have to be married?

397
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 2: I do not? At age, I do not feel the

398
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: need to get married. But if I met the man

399
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: who loved me and said, you know, I meet you

400
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 2: by my side every minute of the day, and I

401
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: loved him and we loved each other that much, I

402
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 2: would consider getting married. But I will be honest, if

403
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: you to just move in, I would have a prenup.

404
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: I would because but my situation is different, Susan. You

405
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: know my husband, Well it feels different to me. My

406
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: husband worked really hard for the money he earned, and

407
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: I want my children.

408
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: To get Anybody at our age is gonna you know so,

409
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: but but go to their families their kids.

410
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: Well, but I'm not saying but I would support myself.

411
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: I would contribute to our joint living all of those things.

412
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: But but in terms of wealth, transferring wealth.

413
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: You know, my kids a whole different story.

414
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would probably have a peanut. But no,

415
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: I don't feel the need to be married. But I

416
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: will never I'm old enough now to say I will

417
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: never say never on anything. Would you get married?

418
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: No?

419
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: No, or you don't know, I don't know.

420
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: That's not my goal. My goal is to find my

421
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: person and live together and enjoy each other. The marriage

422
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: part is I mean I could marry us.

423
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: You know, Susan's gonna be sitting in the bedroom quiet

424
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: night over a bowl of popcorn. Hey, let's get married.

425
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna perform say else, And to me, that is

426
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: the most important thing when you're looking in somebody's eyes

427
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: and it's just the two of you and share why

428
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: you want them in your lives and how they make

429
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: you happy or vice versa. And I commit myself to

430
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: you and you commit yourself to me. That's matag.

431
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: Wait can we put the word monogamous in there? Please?

432
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: You're only having sex with me.

433
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: But I'm happy for your neighbor.

434
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, really, Mozzle, I am so happy

435
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: for your neighbor. I wish them happiness. I hope you

436
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: wish them happiness. All right, we are going to we're

437
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: going to try something a little different today. Oh. As

438
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: we all know, dating in your golden years is tough,

439
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: it is, and it's not necessarily really openly spoken about.

440
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: So we are here today, Susan, we are going to

441
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: change that we want. I think we really should discuss

442
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: some major themes that we see in our listener writings

443
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: as well as in you know, our experiences and our friends'

444
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: experiences are you okay, right, yeah, all right, So the end,

445
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: some of these are I'm just going to warn you

446
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: some of these are tough because we are of a

447
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: certain age. Okay, how do you navigate dating with health issues?

448
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: You know, at our age, Susan, Whether we want to

449
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: believe it or not, health issues can be serious and ongoing.

450
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: So you know, how do you feel about that?

451
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: I think you should be if you're in a monogamous relationship,

452
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: of course, monogamous that you have to be honest if

453
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: you have health issues. I mean, you can't just surprise them, no,

454
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: but how do you But you know, I would want

455
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: to know if my partner that dating has health issues.

456
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: I mean I would too. But I told you some

457
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: of these are going to be hard. Let's just say

458
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: you find out you meet a guy and you're, you know,

459
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 2: really into him, and you've been dating a couple I mean,

460
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm making this up obviously, you've been dating a couple

461
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: of months, and you find out the guy has Parkinson's

462
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: or he's been diagnosed with you know, a blood cancer,

463
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: some kind of leukemia. How are you going to feel

464
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: about that? Because it's not well, you know, that's going

465
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: to be an onwe to ask.

466
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: Yourself the question are you here to take care of him?

467
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: There you got do you love him enough to be

468
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: there for him in the bad times? Because that's you know,

469
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: when you get older, shit happens if you will.

470
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Susan, wait, that's for me. Will wait a minute.

471
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: But for me, that's the difference when you get married.

472
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: You know, when I got married at twenty and at

473
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: that altar, and they said, do you promise to love

474
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: in sickness and in health? You know, sickness was a

475
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: long way off, right, You're thinking.

476
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: If you had the flu, we just still.

477
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: Exactly like, Oh shit's I got to bring him chicken

478
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: little soup. He's got the flu. I don't know. Maybe

479
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 2: I will, Maybe I will. I'm talking serious health issues,

480
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: and so if you get involved with someone who has

481
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: a serious, on going health issue.

482
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to think about your life.

483
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: I don't know.

484
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: Is that okay with you? You won't get to do

485
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: all the fun things that you thought you could do

486
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: at this stage of the game. Get up and go.

487
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: If he's ill or she is ill, do you like?

488
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: They are my Italians that we love so much, Kathy,

489
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, my best friends that we travel with alive

490
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: and they're from Italy and they're beautiful people. And he

491
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: worked all his life to go and enjoy and she

492
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: had a stroke.

493
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: Yes, but Susan, the difference they've been married forever. I'm saying,

494
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 2: stating in our golden years, I'm going to be I'm

495
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: nothing if not honest. I if it were a terminal illness,

496
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: I'd have a really hard time doing that.

497
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: I would, But would you do anything about it internally?

498
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: You'd have a hard time. But would you stop seeing

499
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: him because of it?

500
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: You know what?

501
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: That's hard.

502
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say for this is not a judgment

503
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: on any man who may want a date for me

504
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: with me, but I've buried one husband the hardest of

505
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: ways possible. If I were dating a guy a couple

506
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: of months and they told me he told me that

507
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: he had a terminal diagnosis he had just found out,

508
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could do it, Susan, It

509
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: it takes too much out of me at my age.

510
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: Think it would depend on how I felt about it.

511
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to get hate mail for this.

512
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: You know I am No, You're just being honest. I mean,

513
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean I can deal.

514
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: I can deal with the chronic health situation, you know things,

515
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: but that's not life or death.

516
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: We talked about one of our fan questions some time ago.

517
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: She had a bream issue, remember, and the sex was

518
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: none and she didn't want to do couldn't do anything,

519
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: and he hung in there for her.

520
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's different. It wasn't for death.

521
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: No, no, yeah, I think for me, it's the life

522
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. That's a long time.

523
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I know, you know, all right, So what

524
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: about the next one? Do you share finances? Do you

525
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: get a prenup? You know, when you get married young,

526
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: you're in it together to build your lives together. Right,

527
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: but in your golden years, you know, some of us

528
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: have generational wealth. Some of us have debts, debt. How

529
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: do you feel I'd like.

530
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: To know if they're in debt, because I'm not doing it.

531
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: You're not doing what.

532
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't want somebody that's in debt. I wait, a

533
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: man that can take care of themselves.

534
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: Would you wait, wait a minute. What if he's in debt,

535
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: but he's paying his debt because he's working, he's paining, okay,

536
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: or he has you know, you're you're saying you don't

537
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: want to pay for someone else's debt, Yes.

538
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: Nor would I ever expect anybody to pay for mine.

539
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: Would would you? Would you want a prenup? Would you

540
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: share your finances with them? Would you show them how

541
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 2: much money you have?

542
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: I got it. I'm an open book. I probably in

543
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: my brain's telling me, no, you shouldn't tell them everything.

544
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: But the other side of me is, if I'm that

545
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: in love with you, you need to know everything. But

546
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: you also need to know it's for my children.

547
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: So for me, uh, I would have to be living

548
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: with the guy before I would share my financial wealth.

549
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: But by then we've already had a prenup and he

550
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: would know that I'm gonna support me. I'm gonna you know,

551
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a joint checking account. We're going to

552
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: share the expenses of the house, unless he wants to

553
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: pay for it all, and then I'm gonna graciously say thanks.

554
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: Well, I say he could pay for the house should

555
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: be paid for by them, but if it's not in

556
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: your paying the mortgage, then I chip in on the

557
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: utility bills or my food shopping. Of course, I probably wait.

558
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: Can I just tell you more than I'm sorry? I

559
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: got to deviate one second. Here Susan goes shopping. Were

560
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: you know we were for a week? She showed. I mean,

561
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: I don't we all know Kathy doesn't cook. Literally, we

562
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: walk out, she goes it wasn't bad. It was only

563
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: four hundred euros. Like, Susan, that's it's like, that's more

564
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: than four hundred dollars for one week of groceries. Just

565
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: putting it out there.

566
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a whole week of groceries.

567
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: Well, I was trying not to embarrass you further.

568
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, Kathy, let me ask you, when is the

569

Speaker 1: right time that you're going to integrate your families? Okay,

570
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: people have established routines with lives where families. Now, when

Speaker 1: but his family? And do you think that works? Do

Speaker 1: I can't wait to call my stepbrother or you know.

575
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you I've done this a couple

576
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: of times with guys that I dated for more than

577
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:16,560

581
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: I know she did.

582
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: I cooked all right, it was in the microwave.

590
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: I my grill. You can't make this ship up my

591
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: grill about oh, I don't know. Six weeks ago, I

592
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: was cooking something and the residue caught on fire. And

593
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: my son's a firefighter. I was like, oh my god,

594
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: freaked out, close something down, the fire went out. Haven't

595
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: touched that girl, since I just need underneath.

596
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: Well, now, I learned how to clean the grill, and

597
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: I did. I did. But prior to cleaning the grill,

598
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: I wanted to make hamburgers, and so I thought I will.

599
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: This is a true story, folks. I was on the

600
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: phone chatting with Nancy from our season who I adore,

601
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: And I'm cooking the hamburger, and I said, Susan, how

602
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: do you cook a hamburger? And so she told me

603
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: what to do. So I started doing it, cooking it.

604
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: I was talking to Nancy. I turned around. My whole

605
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: stove is on fire. Flames everywhere. I went, Oh my god,

606
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: because the grease from the hamburger caught on fire.

607
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: So between that and the pants to high whatever, it

608
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: was a little black.

609
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: And you've heard of black, and see not this.

610
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, it was not edible.

611
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: I ate every last bite. It was delicious.

612
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: And see that's the problem. You don't even know the difference.

613
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't.

614
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 2: Susan lives to eat. I eat to live.

615
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: Okay, moving along, so yeah, how soon? Like I have

617
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: somebody that I really like, and I've seen a couple

618
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: of times. I want to tell my kids about it.

619
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah you don't.

620
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: I oh, no, I may tell my children I'm dating someone.

621
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: I just Susan, I have not, you know, since my

622
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: husband died, I've dated a couple of guys for any

623
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: length of time, and my children met them, and my

624
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: children liked them, but I waited. You know, I told them,

625
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: I said, I'm dating a guy. You know, I think

626
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to date them. You know, it's not a

627
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: one day but yeah, I'm seeing somebody. It's not a

628
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: one day guy, but I my children are adults, and again,

629
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: you're divorced. That's different. My husband died by suicide, and

630
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: my kids are very sensitive, particularly my daughter about it.

631
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: Six years, right, six, Jess was six years but you

632
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: know it's it's it was her dad. She was young.

633
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: I'm very careful about who I introduce my kids to.

634
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 2: Casual dates. No, And I would encourage people if you're

635
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: dating in your golden years, don't feel the rush to

636
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: you know, this guy you've had two dates with, to

637
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: introduce him to your children and your grandchildren.

638
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: But then say you're in it like the better part

639
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: of a year and it's a holiday. Do you invite

640
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: his kids as well as yours?

641
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: You know, that's a tougher one. I think it depends

642
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: on the dynamic between you and your kids. Would you

643
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:43,680

647
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,919
