Speaker 4: No, No, you don't need to it's not about.

21
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: That, Okay.

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: So I started dating a girl about five six months ago,

23
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 4: and I really like her. I'm not going to say

24
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: her name just out of you know, respect for her privacy.

25
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: But there's one issue I'm running into over and over again, and.

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: That is actually her health. I don't know how to say. Okay,

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: she has she has severe I B S.

28
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, and that I don't mean to laugh, but

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: it affects pretty much every aspect of her life, and

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: now it's kind of affecting mine since we've been together

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: all these Now, why did.

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: You call my name out? Why would you do that?

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: I was looking at Jason, who was laughing at this.

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: Called you called him out because I'm signing in trouble.

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Did I look over kicking out of and then she

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: calls him out? Okay, I think the same. Well I

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: was gonna say, Jason, Jason has this issue. Okay.

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: So so she I don't even know how to appropriately

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: describe I B S. It's so she needs to access

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: a bathroom room regularly needs and this is this is

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: not a fun thing. And I feel bad for anybody

42
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: who encounters a Kiki and Jason. Okay, So she has

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: this issue.

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: And you know that. So why is this a problem

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: for you?

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: Exactly just like you said, it's not fun. See's the

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: bathroom everywhere we go, everywhere we go, every place we go.

48
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: She's got to figure out where's the closest bathroom every

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: place we eat, You've got to know the menu ahead

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: of time, make sure she can eat something there. And

51
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: there's just a lot of places we can't go together,

52
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: Like we can't I can't take her to whatever, the

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 4: theme park festival. So it's because of the bathroom situation,

54
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: and we can't travel so many places, and so it's

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: just becoming a lot.

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't know as the months go on, and I

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and I feel bad.

58
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: I really like her, but you know, I know there's obviously,

59
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: like there's no cure for ibs. You know, the only

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: things you can do to prevent flare ups. And I

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: just you know, there's a lot comes with it, and

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: I didn't expect it and it would be the rest

63
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: of my life. And I just don't know, Like I

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: don't know if I'm I'm.

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so far enough. Yeah no, So I'm sorry to interrupt

66
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: you with Max.

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: So, you're your girlfriend has this this condition that that's

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 2: limiting to her lifestyle in a lot of ways. Not

69
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: people live with this and and they deal with it.

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: But you're saying that for you, the limitations may sort

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: of you are already are a burden to you, or

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: may forever be a burden to you. I hate to

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: use the word burden, but you know, for whatever reason,

74
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: for various reasons, rather you think it's holding you back,

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: and so you're asking yourself, and you're being honest and transparent.

76
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Is this something that I want to deal with for

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: the rest of my life? Like, do everywhere we go?

78
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: Do I want to have to consider these things? Do

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: I want to be limited to where we can go

80
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: and what we can do? And and you know things

81
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 2: you brought up theme parks and festivals and things like that,

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: and so you're asking yourself, this is just something I

83
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: can commit to you for the rest of my life.

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: Because you got it exactly so terrible. But that's what

85
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm asking.

86
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the reason that this is not,

87
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: I meant is not an easy thing right to consider,

88
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: but I think there is. It's not coming to you naturally.

89
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm beginning to my gut tells me that the answer

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: is no, you can't and you're not going to. And

91
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: there's your answer. I hate to say it. That's just

92
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: me being honest. The fact that you're considering this, the

93
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: fact that you wrote us, the fact that you're calling

94
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: and I'm not judging you for this. I mean again,

95
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: I appreciate the transparency. I feel like the fact that

96
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: you're thinking about this is already saying to me, this

97
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: isn't something that you want to deal with and you

98
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: want someone to tell you it's okay.

99
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: Oh I mean god, maybe I mean I really like

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: or I like spending time with her.

101
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: It just kind of.

102
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Affects everywhere we go because I wonder, I wonder if

103
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: if you were just head over heel. And again, I

104
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: don't know, I've never dealt with this before, but I

105
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: wonder if you were, you know, if you were sure

106
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: about this relationship, and you were sure about every aspect

107
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: of it, then maybe I don't know, my gut tells

108
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: me that you wouldn't see this as a barrier. That

109
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: means that you would eliminate her from your life or

110
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: and the relationship.

111
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: That's what you're talking this is not.

112
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: Is it really something to leave off because you need

113
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: a little alone time in the bathroom? And see, I

114
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: don't know the answer eight five five five nine three five.

115
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

116
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 5: I've not minimizing ibs. Oh yeah, I think.

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: It's really severe like that.

118
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so, Yeah, Well, I'm not minimized.

119
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I don't know. I've never

120
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: dealt with this. I've never known anyone to be super communicative,

121
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: and I know I've know people who have dealt with it.

122
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: No one's ever fully communicated to me their issues or

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: said to me, hey, we can't do X y Z

124
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: because of it. But it sounds to me like the

125
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: cost benefit doesn't work for you. That's what that's that's

126
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: what my gut is telling me about this situation.

127
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: And it's really severe. Ibs. I think there's different levels

128
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: of it. She's got really severe. Okay, all right, well

129
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: let me again.

130
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: There are people out there listening who have perspective on this,

131
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: who either deal with it or have dealt with it,

132
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: and I'd rather hear from them because I don't. I

133
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: don't have enough information to really be able to speak

134
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: on this. But I think that if you weren't really

135
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: sort of strongly contemplating ending the relationship, then I don't

136
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: think that this phone call would even take place. That's

137
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: that's that's what I'm and I'm not judging you for that.

138
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: That's just that's where I am on this. It's you

139
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't call us and have this conversation with us. If

140
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: that were becausetherwise, I think you would just we wouldn't

141
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: have to talk about it. It would just be it's

142
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: something that you'd have to deal with and that that's

143
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: a shame. But that's that's where I'm at. Let me

144
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: take some phone calls, Max, have a good day, thanks

145
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: for calling.

146
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah.

147
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, look, and again, this is this is his

148
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: it's his life and his feeling and and and he

149
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: has every right to live his life how he wants to.

150
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: I just think he's looking for validation because I think

151
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: we've probably all encountered folks in our lives who have

152
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: different situations that are limiting or complicated, and we have

153
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: to make a decision if it's something that we want

154
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: to deal with, you know, together, And I think if

155
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: the answer is yes, then you just do it. If

156
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: the answer is maybe or no, then you start asking

157
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: other people what you should do, right, Yeah.

158
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Because you don't know, right, you would think you'd be organic.

159
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: I guess that's where I'm getting it.

160
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: Like like what you said, like if it's something you

161
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: would you wouldn't even question it.

162
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: It would just be something that you would accept and

163
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: like keep it moving. I guess that's what I That's

164
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: what I mean, judgment or Shade's exactly.

165
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: Everyone has their preferences and what they can deal with

166
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: and what they can exactly. But he's calling up here,

167
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: you know, looking for some feedback, and my feedback is

168
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: you're asking us because you already know.

169
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Hey Donna, hy Hey Donna. Okay, So I have to

170
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: be honest.

171
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: It says on the screen Donna in parentheses has IBS.

172
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: So yes, I just you're I'm.

173
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: Not going to call you IBS Donna, but you know

174
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: that's what it says on the screen, and it might

175
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: forever unless we are RecA part that says has IBS.

176
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: So I just want to say thank you for your

177
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: freeing candid and we really appreciate that about you.

178
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: Donna.

179
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, good.

180
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

181
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 7: So I have IBS and IBD.

182
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: So I have cron disease as well.

183
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 8: And so it's been severe. It's a severe saying it's

184
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 8: something you have to deal with. But honestly, I feel

185
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 8: like he should go for her sake. I'm married, I've

186
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 8: had I've been with my husband since high school. He's

187
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 8: seen it all, through everything I've gone through, and he's

188
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 8: always been supportive. So if this dude isn't able to

189
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 8: be supportive and is worried about having him find a

190
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 8: different restaurant for a different bathroom, that's just crazy.

191
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 6: And she honestly she does not he did not deserve her.

192
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because I want to.

193
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: I hope you don't and you can tell us, but

194
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: I hope no, you don't feel that we're trivializing this

195
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: at all. You know, his perspective is that this is

196
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: limiting to him and I and my thought is that

197
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: he's focused more on how this limits him than how

198
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: much he values her, and that tells me everything I

199
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: need to know about what he thinks about this relationship.

200
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: No, yeah, exactly.

201
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 8: I feel like a lot of people, I mean, I

202
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 8: don't I don't get offendedive people minimize it or trivialize it,

203
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 8: but I feel like a lot of people.

204
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: Don't understand the severity of it.

205
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 8: Sure, and like he was even saying, there are different

206
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 8: levels to it, So she might have something that's to

207
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 8: per severe, whereas like some people might just have a

208
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 8: stomach ache.

209
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 6: Every once in a while. But if he's not willing to.

210
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 8: Work through that or like deal with there, it's really Honestly,

211
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 8: it's really not that hard, Like finding a bathroom.

212
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: It's easy.

213
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 8: I look at the menus before we go anywhere, and

214
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 8: if it's something that I can't have, like my husband's.

215
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: Willing to like adapt to it. Okay, there's so many options.

216
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 8: So if this is a deal breaker or a possible

217
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 8: deal breaker for.

218
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 6: Him, he just should go and not even waste her time.

219
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: There you go.

220
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: Hey, Donad, thank you and thanks for calling in for

221
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: the transparency and authenticity. Appreciate that. Yeah we have today, Yeah,

222
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 2: you do appreciate it. See it again, Like, I don't

223
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: know anything about this. So the fact that you're calling

224
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: and a lot of people are texting and you know,

225
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: being very transparent about their journey with the two, I don't.

226
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I've not dealt with this.

227
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: So I'd rather hear from you, is it, Reeve? Yes, Hey,

228
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: good morning, welcome. So you heard the guy max on

229
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: waiting by the phone or excuse me on U stare go.

230
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: This guy, you know, he's been dating a woman and

231
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: she has IBS and he feels it's very limiting to

232
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 2: her and he's not sure if he can do it

233
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: for the rest of his life if he can not

234
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: go to festivals. In this case, it was an example

235
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: that he used her in theme parks. Apparently, you know,

236
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: it's a big problem.

237
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: What do you think?

238
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 7: Okay, I found it really interesting. My girlfriend has chronic

239
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 7: health issues. So for me, like I was just hearing him,

240
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 7: I was like, oh wow, it sounds like he's really

241
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 7: not ready to be in a relationship at all. Because

242
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 7: for me, to love someone is to consider them, to

243
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 7: consider them like always, and it just sounds like he

244
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 7: doesn't want to consider her. And it's like I can

245
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 7: appreciate that it's dis aicole or whatever, but you know,

246
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 7: I don't know. It sounds like he just wants someone

247
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 7: that's like less curious, more about flaying whatever.

248
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I feel like everybody comes with

249
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: something right. And I'm not going to list things because

250
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not equating one with another, but we

251
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: all we all come with things right, and I think

252
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: we all as we're dating and meeting people, we have

253
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: to make the determination whether those things are things that

254
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: we want to deal with or we don't, and that's

255
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: our choice. And he might be missing out on an

256
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: amazing person because he feels inconvenienced. That's on him, I guess.

257
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: But better that he identify that and move on and

258
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: let her move on and find somebody else. Then I

259
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: suppose continue to tread water on this because he's obviously

260
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: thinking about it.

261
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: What's that I said?

262
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah there, Reeve, thank you for calling him, for listening.

263
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Have a great day.

264
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah you too, Joanna, Hi, Joanna, Hey, good morning.

265
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: So you this dude's already got one foot out the door.

266
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: You think, absolutely in two seconds of hearing his story,

267
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, he's already at the door. He just wants

268
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 3: us to tell him it's okay. Not to be fair.

269
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: As someone in my safeties and who's single, I always

270
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: ask about chronic illnesses before I get too far into it.

271
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Oh do you Okay?

272
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: So you know a couple of dates and you're like, hey,

273
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: so what about anything deadly going on?

274
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

275
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: No, kind of sort of like if they're like got

276
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: a whole list of meds that they're on and they're sick,

277
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 3: and yeah, I don't want I don't want to deal with.

278
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: That, Okay. I mean that's you're right.

279
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 7: I suppose you got to like get into that before you.

280
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: Fall in love with him. But if he's already been

281
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: dating her and he's feeling like this, then he doesn't

282
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: love her enough.

283
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm the one making this argument, because

284
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: I tend to be a little sort of not cold,

285
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: but unemotional about things. But you know, who's to say, Joanna,

286
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: you don't fall in love with someone who also happens

287
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: to have these issues, like you're preventing yourself from.

288
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: You ask first?

289
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: But but is that how love works? I'm asking. I

290
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: don't hate all people. I don't know, but I mean,

291
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: is is that how it works? Like? I can't fall

292
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: in love with you because you you you might die?

293
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just remove yourself from the acquaintance.

294
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean, hey, that's you're right. I guess

295
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: the way that I understand love would be that I

296
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: fall in love and then those are challenges that we overcome.

297
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: But maybe that's a Hallmark movie. Maybe that's something I

298
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: saw with Rebecca Remains Demos or something with them.

299
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Have you been burned by this to fall in love? No?

300
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: Not at all?

301
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: Okay, yes them? Yeah again, this is her right? I mean,

302
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: you fall in love with you now you're about that?

303
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: That?

304
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Ye that's terrible. That's an awful thing.

305
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: That's bad luck.

306
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: Before you fall in love.

307
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: She had dealt with this already, and she don't.

308
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 7: Know what maybe I have.

309
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: I have been burned, but in just like family and

310
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: personal life, not so much as a partner.

311
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you feel like people were taken from you

312
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: or something. No, there's always more of the story here,

313
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: and I appreciate you calling. You have a good day.

314
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: You know, I can understand that. You know, you fall

315
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: in love, you felt like somebody was taken from you early,

316
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: and or you felt I don't know, like like you

317
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: were shorted in some way, and then you don't want

318
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: to deal with that again. So you you sort of

319
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: block that. You prevent that from happening in your.

320
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 5: Life because like if you have been a caretaker, it's

321
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 5: a lot, and so maybe people would be a little

322
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 5: gunhy about going into that situation again.

323
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: My mom loves my dad deeply, Like they have a

324
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: wonderful thirty five years. They've been through ups and downs

325
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: and whatever. But my mom would tell you in front

326
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: of him, he's twelve or twelve years older than she is,

327
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: and now you know that she's her age and he's

328
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: his age. She would tell you, if she had to

329
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: do over again, she wouldn't choose somebody who's that much

330
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: older because she's having to sort of you know, everyone's

331
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: getting older now, and it's happening for him faster because

332
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: he's older. Again, This is no slam on him, and

333
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: she's not slamming it when she's saying it. But you know,

334
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: when people look back on life, I think it's like, well,

335
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: I probably would have chosen someone my age or younger

336
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: even I mean, that's not how love works. I guess

337
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: It's the point I was making to her is you

338
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: fall in love with who you fall in love with.

339
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: But you know, odds are she's going to be present

340
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: for his aging process before hers, and that's hard to watch. Yeah,

341
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: So I see what she's saying. It just sounds a

342
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: little harsh.

343
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Hi Jenna, Hi, Hi, good morning.

344
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: So you you've been in this situation before I have.

345
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I actually feel like such a horrible person

346
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 6: with what I'm going to say after all of these No, nobody.

347
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: Should feel like a horrible person like, yeah, this might

348
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: be one of our last years. You know, for one

349
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: reason or another, either the raps coming from one place

350
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: or it's coming from another I don't know, but no,

351
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I wanted to be really clear here,

352
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Like this guy called he was transparent, people are calling,

353
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: They're being honest. Everyone's entitled to whatever their limitations are

354
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: or however they want to live their life. And even

355
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: if it doesn't sound good. I never want to make

356
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: anyone feel bad. Well I shouldn't say anyone. Occasionally I

357
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: want to make you feel bad for being a moron,

358
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: but not you, Jenna.

359
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 6: Go ahead, yeah, so, I mean so I definitely feel

360
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 6: like after what I was listening to, like love is

361
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 6: not enough all the time, and like there's so many

362
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 6: different fish in the sea, and there's so many different

363
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 6: situations that fit for different people.

364
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 7: So for me, you know, like I.

365
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 6: Mean, I'm a single mom, I'm dating, and I don't know,

366
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,359
Speaker 6: I'm a foodie, Like I love going out to restaurants

367
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 6: and eating like all different types of food. And like

368
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 6: the guy who you know, I was just went on

369
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 6: some dates with he could only eat like chicken fingers

370
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 6: and mazzarellistics, and you know, like I just don't know

371
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 6: if that's what I want for the rest of my life.

372
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 6: And I think that's okay to be Like, no, that's just.

373
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Not what I want.

374
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 7: So yeah, his.

375
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 6: Stuff was limiting, and I mean I didn't take it,

376
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 6: like I kind of cut it off at the beginning

377
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 6: because I knew that wasn't right for me. But I

378
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 6: don't know just I mean, I think he is looking

379
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 6: for validation, so I want to validate him, and just

380
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 6: being like, if this doesn't work for your lifestyle, just

381
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: that's okay, Like there is going to be somebody else

382
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 6: who works for her lifestyle and your lifestyle and for me,

383
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 6: just the fact that he could only eat off the

384
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 6: kid's menu, you know.

385
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: Just and Jenna, I don't I'm not putting I said

386
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: this earlier, I'll say it again and people still won't

387
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: hear it. But I'm not I'm not putting all these

388
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: things on the same level, like it's different health versus

389
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: versus lifestyle versus whatever. I'm not saying these are all

390
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: the same. But how how would you feel? And I'm

391
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: sure it's happened to you where you've met men since

392
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: you're dating and you're a single mom who has said, hey,

393
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 2: I don't I don't necessarily I like you, but I

394
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: don't necessarily want what comes with your obligation as a parent.

395
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: I mean, how does that make you feel, because because

396
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: you're sort of saying the same thing.

397
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for just letting me know, because

398
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 6: I get it, you know, like I want someone who

399
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 6: wants all of those things. But just like the girl

400
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 6: who I was just listening to, like, yeah, maybe prerequisites

401
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 6: are smart, especially when you're like a little bit older.

402
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: So you're not being a hypocrite about this, Jenna, You're

403
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: being You're open minded about the fact that people need

404
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: different things for their lives.

405
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent, you know, And I would much

406
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: rather someone be like, Listen, I like you who you are,

407
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 6: but I'm not ready to, you know, step in and

408
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 6: for me. Listen, I've got a great situation, you know,

409
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 6: So I'm not looking for some of this stuff and

410
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 6: being dad. But I one hundred percent like that comes

411
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 6: with you know stuff, So I am much more Just

412
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: let me know, because again, there are just too many

413
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 6: fish in the sea.

414
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: Because Jen, I think about this as a single guy

415
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: in my in my mid forties. It's like, I'm probably

416
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: not having kids of my own. The demographic, there's a

417
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 2: demographic of people that I would date who have been

418
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: married and have kids, And I think about that like,

419
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to one or the other.

420
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: I was that kid, right, I was adopted.

421
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: I was that kid at one point my my dad

422
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: chowse to marry my mom and then take us all

423
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: in as his family and treat us as his own. So,

424
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been through this, but I think about it,

425
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: like my life would change drastically if I fell in

426
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 2: love with someone who had a kid, But like, would

427
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: I limit myself from falling in love with that person?

428
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,239
Speaker 2: I would like to believe no, But I mean if

429
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: I'm married or dated somebody or was with someone as

430
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: a partner who didn't, then my life looks completely different.

431
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know it's right.

432
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: But am I a bad person if I choose not

433
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: to date the person with a kid? And I don't

434
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: think I'm a bad person, but I mean, you say

435
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: it out loud, it kind of sounds bad.

436
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: But listen, no, we all have choices, right may Yeah, Jenna,

437
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate you. Have a good day you too.

438
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: Oh well, Oh okay, I misread that someone said I

439
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: thought I said my wife has cancer, I'm leaving her?

440
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: You know, it was what if she gets cancer? Will

441
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: he leave her? Is what? It says I misread that.

442
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, oh my, we're taking this call

443
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: so I can thought destroy this human being.

444
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: But I'm not going. I don't have to because is

445
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: that what it said? Perfect?

446
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 5: I think the difference is like this guy is getting

447
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: into something knowing what comes with this person. And if

448
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 5: you are in love with someone and marriage to them

449
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 5: for years and they get cancer, it's a different story.

450
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: And I agree with the last caller. Love is not

451
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: always enough.

452
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 5: You can have love, but there can a lot of

453
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 5: things that come with a person that it just doesn't

454
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 5: work for long term.

455
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: And that's also okay, you know, just
