WEBVTT - On Auto-Pilot

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, have you ever heard of an auto pilot relationship? Well?

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I have not. However, I have been in one with

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Amy Robot and didn't even know it. But here's the thing.

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.959
<v Speaker 1>You might be in one right now as well. You

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>don't even know it. And with that, welcome to this

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>episode of Amy and Tsay on location. We should say,

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Robes right now, we are not work office appropriate right now.

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Necessarily in our attire, we're not.

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Can we call this a workcation or a vacation where

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>we decided to do a little bit of work?

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I was confused by both those things you just said.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Is that because for Alice was playing behind you?

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Wish I had to understand? Sorry, I have that explained

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to me. But but yes, we are on location right

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>now because we took a little bit of a it

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>is a vacation. But would you say you and I

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>as a couple, you would you say we needed a

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>trip and needed some time alone.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Yes, In fact, the other day you said to me,

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I need a break with you. But when you said

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that to me, my eyes got really wide, and you

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>could see because the way I was interpreting that was

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>I need a break from you. And I think you

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a Prepositions are important and you always choose your

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>words carefully. I sometimes just hear worst case scenario or whatever.

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But you recognized it in my eyes, and you said,

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say I needed a break from you. I

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>said I needed a break with.

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>So where in that count? Where in that one sentence

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>did you tune out to the point that you missed

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the most important preposence.

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>When you hear your boyfriend or the man you love

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>say I need a break, you immediately just go into

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a full on panic. No, you hear nothing else, and

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>then you and you're like what and you go into

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Panickmoge're like what what did I miss? Like?

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Wait? What?

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>So that actually happened? And as soon as you clarified

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 2>that I had not paid attention to the preposition.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>What would you say, well, relief, Why would you say

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>we needed a break? Why would you have said it? Well?

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>We have been So we went from a year ago

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 2>to just kind of reintroducing ourselves to or our relationship

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to our children, to this past year constantly being with

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>them all the time. So and it's been great. We

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>have been with either Sabine or Ava or Anna or

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>all three or a combination of a few all summer long.

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that we even had like a date night.

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Can't shake them.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 2>It's been awesome, and also it's funny just from where

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 2>we were. It's like, wow, one of those not be

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 2>careful what you wish for, wink wink, but one of

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>those things where it really has been awesome. But we

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>have not had as much alone.

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Time, so U and anybody that follows us, we just

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>seemingly had a trip not too long ago. I kin'd

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>of remember when Rome was when itally was, but that

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't too terribly long ago. The weird thing we recognize

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:21.839
<v Speaker 1>we only plan trips for ourselves now around when all

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the kids are going to be busy doing something else, right,

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they have to be otherwise occupied, and so we had

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 1>to kind of are are we only made those two

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>trips because of that.

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, And I would say, like, funny enough, we are

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>together all the time, but we're either we were with

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the kids or we were working, and we were working

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot, which is great. We love to work, but

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>we didn't just get to have like us time like

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it's been an interesting thing. I've never you know, we

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>worked together and we are in a relationship together, so

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>it is a and we were friends before as colleagues,

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>so it's a strange thing, like you've got the work

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>relationship and then you've got the romantic relationship, and the

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>two actually don't coexist. You know, when we're in work mode,

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not about our relationship. It's just been an interesting thing.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>So when we feel like we've actually said to each other,

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I miss you and we've been together NonStop.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>We might be in an autopilot relationship perfectly. Or maybe

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I set you up.

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 2>I was going to go sorry, sorry, No led me

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 2>in the direction you knew I would take care.

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>No, you are right in all of those things. I

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>am not familiar. I hadn't heard the concept, and it

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not necessarily what you would expect when you hear autopilot,

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>but there is a thing out there that people argue

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>an autopilot relationship is one in which the relationship now

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>becomes secondary, that it's almost an afterthought that you are

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>now going through your You're in a rhythm, a routine,

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and not just that you're stagnant. You're not going anywhere,

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 1>You're not getting any deeper in your relationsip, you're not

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>falling anymore in love. You're just where you are. And

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the other part of it is that they say, robes,

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you're always putting on the appearance that everything is okay, wow,

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that everything is pert we don't fight, and oftentimes you

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>don't because you just don't even care. You're not focusing

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>on the relationship, so you're not fighting and getting at

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>each other, none of that stuff. You're just going through

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the motions of a relationship. They call that an autopilot relationship.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Now does that sound right or familiar? Make sense? I

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>should say it totally.

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Makes sense, because yes, you're having to put the needs

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 2>of your children or the needs of putting food on

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the table ahead of, yes, the romantic relationship, and that

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 2>makes sense. And I think that happens to probably most people.

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 2>And it's been an interesting thing because a lot of

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>times when you're putting the food on the table thing,

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>you're not doing it together. You're doing it in separate offices,

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and so you have time apart. So you can see

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 2>how that also feels very distant. And we're even together,

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 2>and it still feels it's like it's not us, it's

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>work us, And there is a difference. And I hadn't

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>really thought about it until now you can.

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>We can be sitting right next to each other and

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it's still possible to feel alone. A lot of people

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>can relate to that. I'm not saying that's how I

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>feel with you or have felt with you, but this

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>concept was interesting, and it's interesting that we got to

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the point we are. This is only a blessing, but

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the thing we have fought and fought and fought and

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>fought and fought to get to, we got it, which

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>is everybody's good. The kids are good, it's easy, everybody

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is happy. How celebrating birthdays together, trips to get all

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is so great. But with that comes now

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.679
<v Speaker 1>a co parenting situation that we have together that causes

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>us so oftentimes to be focused on things other than

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>our relationship. And your mom would say, we are making

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a mistake.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, And you know, and I always appreciated that it

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.239
<v Speaker 2>was not always easy to hear as a kid, because

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 2>it definitely put me in my place, so to speak.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>But it actually makes so much sense having just said

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>goodbye to my baby Annalise, who is minimally texting me

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>at this point for anyone who'd like an update. But

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>it seems like you only hear from them when things

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>are not good. So no news is good news or

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 2>just like short small yes good those texts mean that

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>everything's actually fantastic. But with that yes it is, it

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely on brand unless something, unless something's gone wrong.

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I get monosyllabic responses. Yes, but I would say, my

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>mom kept always reminding me you you know, yes, your

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>children or your children forever, but truly they live with

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>you for eighteen years and then they're gone. And if

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you look at the entirety of your life or the

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>lifespan of a marriage or a relationship, that actually can

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>pale in comparison. And so if you haven't invested in

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>or continued to try and reinvest in your relationship, the

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 2>kids are gonna say bye see ya, and what do

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 2>you have left? You have to remember that that actual partner,

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>the spouse or whoever that is actually the person who

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>you'll spend the most time with. The older you get,

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the more that's the case.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>How many people would go along with that thinking that

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>my relationship comes first and everything else. The kid I

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>was always fascinating, and I think most people don't say

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it out loud, but your mom was like she shouldn't

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>give a damn about saying being bold. This is first

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>my relationship. The relationship has to be first.

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>They always told my brother and I that they absolutely.

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Did, and you all are secondary. Sounds kind of strange,

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>but the priority has to be the relationship and the

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>couple first. Yeah, I don't hear that enough. I like

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the idea, and we are just now experiencing something together

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>where we are. We have the list, I mean go

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>through I was trying to go through it earlier with you.

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>What was first? Annalice had her big.

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Birthday, her eighteenth birthday on her last day of school.

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 2>She had prom two weeks before that.

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>All that was ourgely huge, big big deals, lots of parties.

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Yea walking through the streets of Manhattan with big balloons,

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>looking silly all on her behalf correct. Party gets thrown.

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>She had graduation, another big party, a.

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Very big party actually.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Ava then came back in with you for the sum.

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>From Berlin and then Yes, and then moved back in

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>for two months because she had to sub let her

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 2>apartment to make it make sense while she was in

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Germany studying overseas. So then she moved back in with

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>us for the full two months.

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.559
<v Speaker 1>So then we got Sabine has been all she had

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>camp this summer, but she has.

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Been when she came back catch at the hip all summer.

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's wait. You and I talked about this plenty.

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else doesn't know. This is as good and it's

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>happened great a relationship I've had with this kid ever

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and we've always been closed, but now it's I feel

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>it is a codependency, it's all. It's a weird thing

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>where it's we are just in our groove. But that

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>means that you and I are parenting her or dealing

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>with or you know what I'm saying. I go to

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>take a pics to what I'm saying there. But she's

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>now something that's on our mind constantly and has to

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>be factored into our day. We've got marathons we're training for.

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people don't know that we are being

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>busy with some possible opportunities coming up that we have

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>actually been in negotiation with and talking about. That's very

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.719
<v Speaker 1>exciting and moving forward, we're going to be doing a

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>live event in Chicago that we're planning. Yes that we'll

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>be able to give you details about that soon. All

0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that you put all of it together. We have been

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>boom boom boom being this or that to a bunch

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of other folks. We've been business partners. We haven't done

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot.

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 2>You just the two of us, and we've been together

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>NonStop through I think in I think this entire summer.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe we have spent two nights apart. And by

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.719
<v Speaker 2>the way, that was the only like eight hours we

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>weren't together. You know, so we have been I can't

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>think of another human on this planet who I have

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 2>spent more consecutive time with and still feel like I

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 2>could say I miss you. That is crazy but true.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.319
<v Speaker 1>But should that be the case, It shouldn't be the case.

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>We spent this much time together. So we were we

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>did this trip. We were saying, we need to spend

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a little where we do. We need to focus on

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>enjoying ourselves and trying not to we still get pulled

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>here and there for a whole bunch of things. But

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>look we I think what they call the vicious cycle

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that so many couples they put on this appearance that

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>they are perfect on Instagram. You see all these things,

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:08.439
<v Speaker 1>and then some other person looking at that, whose relationship

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 1>isn't perfect. It's looking at it and go, wow, my

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>relationship must be a disaster because theirs it's perfect mind

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look like that. And so then what do you

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 1>do in your relationship? You go overreact, say this is

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 1>not the person I'm supposed to be with. You don't

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>go put the work into it. And I don't know.

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be that. I don't think everybody

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>thinks it's all incense and candles with us, but we

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>are dealing with this like everybody else. We stopped making

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>our relationship a priority. I think is fair to say yes.

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 2>And then the first day we actually had it just

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 2>be the two of us as we're traveling. It wasn't

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 2>a great first day. I think sometimes the anything that's

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 2>built up that hasn't been verbalized because you haven't had

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the alone time to actually have true connections, it all

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of comes out in whatever way it does. And

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 2>so the first day was a little right, but we're

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>good now.

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think it was rockier than the lotion waves.

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 2>There doesn't that happen though, Like the first day vacation,

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you're just if you haven't spent time together. Finally, it

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.439
<v Speaker 2>just all comes out and you just have to take

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>a deep breath. And it wasn't how I would have

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to start the vacation. But in a way, maybe

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 2>it was a purging or a cleansing.

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>You needed it. I didn't know.

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.839
<v Speaker 2>You needed it. Yeah, yeah, I think you did.

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know I needed until you let me know

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I needed it.

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I just pushed the right button. What can I say?

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:42.679
<v Speaker 2>There was one button and I pushed it. But so yeah,

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>and then you like it does that happen? Like how

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>many other couples can relate? I feel like the first

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>day of vacation might be a little bit of a

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 2>purging process or a cleansing process.

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Where are we doing great? That morning we were to

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the air. Everything was good. Yeah, everything was great.

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was a couple of things happened. And then

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 2>this is this is.

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Kind of just funny, but this is why. And again

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a lesson to you all. And I thank my dad

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>for this. He was always early, to the point that

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>he annoyed the hell out of my mom. Always growing up,

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>we are mad early everywhere. He would rather sit there

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and wait for thirty minutes than to rush in and

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>be thirty seconds, leap and.

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>When you have anything go wrong at the airport you are,

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>or traffic or whatever happens, you're so grateful that you

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have to stress about missing your flight.

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>So here we go, folks. We robes booked the flights.

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>She booked the trip, and she often does. Everything goes fine.

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But she didn't attach my TSA PreCheck number when she

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>made the reservation. Okay, fine, not a big deal. We

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>got there pretty early.

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 2>It seemed like it. But it's you know, it's about

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a thirty minute deal. It can be, and it was

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>we it will and then well, wait, it can be.

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't a big deal that I didn't have

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>TSA pre check on this one. Fine.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I told that about it. I felt guilty because I

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 2>was like, crap, if I had just put I didn't

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 2>realize if you didn't put it in afterwards, that that

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>somehow you were automatically banned from getting TSA pre check.

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know at the time I made the reservation.

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I had to put it in. I couldn't go back

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and put it in later.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought other airline, this particular airline didn't allow.

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought for sure it would have been fine.

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>This is again, this is not a big thing.

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but just so you know, I'm feeling a little

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 2>guilty right now over that. Yeah I did. I was like, oh,

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the TSA pre check thing, yeah, because it was my fault.

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh baby, that was nothing. Tsare again. Make sure everybody

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>understands here. She booked our fight and when she booked

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>our flights, she just did not attach my TSA pre

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>check it. And okay, I wasn't available to get don't

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>do that thing.

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do it. I was like, I'll do it later.

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>In my mind, I'm like, yeah, we'll just put that in.

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I didn't have it available.

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I should get that in my phone though.

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, the point being, we get there, I don't have

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>TSA pre check. That's not a big deal. I gotta

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>get in the regular line.

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Fine, it wasn't terrible.

0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>This is fine, but we stand in line for it.

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Decent amountains ray. Okay, Up, she goes through first right

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>with your yep. So she's about to get in the

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>security line. I hand the guy my info and HM.

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Instead of just handing me my passport back, he hands

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 1>me a white piece of paper that I've never seen before,

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of writing on it, which is directing

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 1>me to get out of the line and go to

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the airline help desk.

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>It's always how you want to start your vacation.

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. The guy had no idea. So

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>what's the problem, he said, I don't know. You got

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a flag. They won't let you through. I said, but

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>what he said? That's not my thing. The airline said,

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a problem here. I can't let you through, so

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>we have to get out of line.

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So we walk all the way to the help

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 2>desk and there's another line. It's quite long. At that point,

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I look at my phone and I actually thought to myself,

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>thank God be left as early as we did, because

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I knew we still had two hours before our flight

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.919
<v Speaker 2>was taking off. So I was like, okay, we'll get

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 2>through this. And you were calm, and I was calm.

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I even't like I put my arm around you. We

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 2>were like staying, they're hugging each other. We were good.

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 2>We were just being calm. We were like, we're going

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 2>to paradise. Where we're going. We're fine. So we get

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>up to the receptionist eventually and she is fixing it

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.159
<v Speaker 2>all and like seems like it's no big deal. She

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 2>takes this passport, and then teacher said, may I ask?

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 1>And I had.

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 2>What was the problem, man? I mean I was curious too.

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>The problem was whoever entered your birth date instead of

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 2>saying nineteen seventy seven entered nineteen ninety seven, and so

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>it did not match your passport and I clearly made

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 2>the reservations, so it was completely my fault. So not

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 2>only did I robb you with the TSA pre check,

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I then got us flagged or got you FLA because

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I entered your incorrect.

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Birth year, and then we have to go back and

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>get in the security line.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm so my state of mind is I'm thinking,

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, because I pride myself on getting things,

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, doing those things. And then I know you're

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.360
<v Speaker 2>we're all into details, and I was like, I let

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 2>everybody down. I just cost us now a solid forty

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 2>five minutes. It's all my fault. I'm feeling totally guilty.

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>And TJ walks up to go ask this kind man

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 2>who's standing in front of this back entrance to a

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 2>line so we don't have to go through the whole

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 2>line again, to explain to him why we are allowed

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>to go through this back way because of what happened,

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 2>and in my haste of feeling so guilty like I

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>need to fix the situation, I just jumped into the

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 2>conversation and completely interrupted it was. It was as rude

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 2>as it gets, and I, because I was just like

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 2>so wanting to fix it, I made it worse.

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I was fine, do you know I have I have

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>worked on this for years and years, But at that moment,

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing I could do but surrender to the moment.

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>And there's nothing that me getting upset was going to

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 1>lend itself. There's nothing to get on to you for.

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I know you felt bad about it. There's no reason

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to make you feel worse. It's not like I hope

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 1>you learned your lesson or I'll just do it next time. No,

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that's Dirk behavior, don't. It was nothing. And because I

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>always insist that you wanted to get there early enough,

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>there was no problem. There was actually no problem. That

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>was just inconvenience. That was where my head was. Here

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 1>she comes to save the DA.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 2>And then everybody's irritated.

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and then they got but there there goes.

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just a moment we've had. I think we

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>only fight about one thing. And like doctor, our good friend,

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 1>doctor Jeff Gardier, always says, it's never what you're fighting about,

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:14.399
<v Speaker 1>it's how you're fighting, Like it's how you're communicating about money.

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not your problem is not money. Your problem is

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 1>not this, it's not that. It's how you're communicating about

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>this and that. And we fail sometimes to communicate about things,

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 1>but we have an ongoing thing. It became a became

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 1>a theme. And then we're not even talking on the

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>plane and all kinds of foolishness. And I talked to

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the flight attendant born and I talked to you in

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that flight. That is true, for sure. They were pleasant

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Had you had your AirPods in the entire time too.

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 1>And hear you want to hear the funny part about that.

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:44.679
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have anything playing.

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 1>My AirPods ran out of battery power, Like.

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, so when your partner puts AirPods and you're like,

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 2>so clearly does not want to talk to me. You

0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 2>weren't talking, So I yeah, I actually slept a little

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 2>bit on the plane, which I never do.

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I didn't even know. I didn't look your way.

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I know you didn't.

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 1>They were laughing about it. Now.

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I just want other couples like we have laughed at

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.919
<v Speaker 2>other couples who are invites clearly when they're traveling with

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 2>kids in distress and YadA YadA, and we have laughed like, oh,

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 2>look at those poor folks, they're upset. We were those people.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 2>We were those people. It wasn't there was no like anger.

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 2>It was just like it was just but it's real

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and it happened and just took some time.

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>And we're here and that's it's been a hell of

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a summer and it's the thing we wanted most. We

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:43.119
<v Speaker 1>got it. Everybody's good, the kids are good and getting along,

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's happy that we got it. But with that

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:53.719
<v Speaker 1>comes more focused on things other than our relationship. We

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 1>can do both, but I can't. It sounds I guess

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.199
<v Speaker 1>some people would be dismissive of it or think it

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds awful. I just love how your mom always talks

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>about it and says, the relationship is the priority. This

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is first. The relationship is first.

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it does set an example, and it does

0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>teach your children you know that if we're good, you're good.

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 2>There is a security to it in a way, and

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it, and you have to have somebody, you know,

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:23.959
<v Speaker 2>I think to have that mindset, you have to have

0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>both partners have that mindset. And I think unfortunately for me,

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe perhaps my mom gave that to me and then

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 2>there was an expectation. So, you know, because I do

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>believe in that, and if you don't, if the other

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 2>person doesn't, it's not going to work. You know, it's tough,

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and I know a lot of couple struggle with that.

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, where the children fall in the priority of

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 2>your marriage, it's it. And so when then when your

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 2>kids go up and move away as you hope and

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:53.119
<v Speaker 2>want them to, obviously, even though it's sad, you do

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 2>get a reality check. And right now I'm getting that

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.679
<v Speaker 2>reality check. Like, I love my girls, They're always going

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a big part of my life, but they

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 2>are not the people who I am going to be

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:04.960
<v Speaker 2>with twenty four to seven for the next forty years.

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, would you say, or is it offensive? Will

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you ask a parent what their priority is in that home? Yeah,

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>kids are number one?

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Is that That's what I do believe. That is what

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 2>most people would say. But I believe my parents would say,

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 2>our marriage is first, Our kids are second. Well, I

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.080
<v Speaker 2>know they would say that, they've always said that. Yeah,

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 2>and I was raised with that mindset, and maybe that

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>was an unfair expectation to have in a marriage, but

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>for me it was and and I do I actually

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>am very It doesn't mean that your kids ever get

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 2>short changed. Actually, I would just say, I would say

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>it's the opposite. But it doesn't sound like the right answer,

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, But I love that you get it, and

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that's it's a really good sign.

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>You think people generally expect relationships to be easy. Well,

0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>we've conditioned ourselves to think that, well we clashed on this,

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>or we thought about this, then that means we must

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>not be compatible.

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that people think everyone else's relationships are easier.

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I think people look I think you always think the

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 2>grass is greener. I think you look at other people

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 2>friends unless someone's obviously in distress, and then maybe you

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 2>take glee and the fact that yours isn't that bad.

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 2>There are always those friends that maybe you keep close

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 2>for that reason. But I think a lot of people

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I at least felt like a lot of times I

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 2>would look at other people and think, what's that like?

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>That must be awesome? And I think we all kind

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 2>of romanticize what other people's relationships might be like because

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>ours didn't live up to our expectations. Yes, I can

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>only speak for myself that Yes, I think we all

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 2>get this impression that it's easier or it should be

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 2>easier than it is.

0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 1>We know better obviously, an auto pilot relationship, have you

0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>ever think you've ever been in one?

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, think yes, but yes, but almost by choice, you

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, not by accident, and that can

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>also be something.

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Wow. I wasn't familiar with the with the concept,

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:18.199
<v Speaker 1>but I found it interesting and it went along with

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, this trip and this summer has been

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful summer, and I don't know it's all onwarded

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>at this I don't know. It's so much to be

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>excited and hopeful about. And I even nobody wants to fight.

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>But man, I feel always better about a relationship when

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 1>you get through it and you get past it and

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you learn something from it. And I think we'd all

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I think even the professionals agree, right, if you're not fighting,

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not necessarily a good science.

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and I have had a relationship like that where

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I never fought but if you, I think it can

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 2>speak to your level of passion and your level of

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 2>because the opposite of love isn't hate or even anger,

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 2>it's indifference. And so if you weren't fighting, you can't

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>tell me that things aren't annoying you or whatever. It's

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 2>just you're indifferent, and that, to me is the biggest

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 2>red flag.

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, listen to you. I've heard you say that blind plenty.

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 2>At the opposite it rings true, though it rings true.

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, before we go, I think is that asege.

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 2>No, it's Nicki, Nicky and MORGANA absolutely Nicki and Morgan.

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not an okay, sorry, I know. Now she's like

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 2>my boyfriend who isn't texting me back. She's become that

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:51.199
<v Speaker 2>for me.

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Now when did you have that?

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
