We live 506 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 3: in Mexico and he's from Mexico City, so he can't 507 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: just up and visit me in the States or Europe 508 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 3: when I have time off.

Yeah, so my mind immediately goes 604 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 6: to like the darkest place possible. And with relationships where 605 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 6: I've had experience that and really badly because they get 606 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 6: bored that I'm not home, or they have their own jealousy, 607 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 6: or they have their own insecurities. It's just I want 608 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 6: to make sure that I tread carefully and correctly to 609 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 6: make sure that this lasts. 610 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 5: Can I say something what I heard and what I 611 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 5: took from everything that you just said. It sounds like 612 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 5: maybe there's some inner work that you can do to 613 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 5: find calm and peace within you and trust yourself and 614 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 5: your own gut and your own intuition that will only 615 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 5: help fuel a loving relationship outwardly if you start inside 616 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 5: first and calm that. And I think with that kind 617 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 5: of self love and self trust and like all of 618 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 5: that comes, you know, leaving a lot of the other 619 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 5: past traumas from other relationships and not being carried into 620 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 5: the next one. That's what I don't do that personally, 621 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 5: but I feel like that could maybe be helpful for you. 622 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what else, I think you definitely need 623 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: to do that. You have to start having a different 624 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: conversation with yourself because it's like you're letting your negative 625 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: thoughts overpower your positive thoughts. And with distance in time 626 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: like there, you cannot control what another person is gonna do. Okay, 627 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: So that's one thing, and I understand you think you 628 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: can by facilitating getting closer while you're gone. You've communicated 629 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: to him that you're gonna need more attention via text 630 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: or whatever that means. And even if it's texting, like 631 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of like a relief to a lot 632 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: of people, Like you don't have to get on the phone, 633 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: you don't have to face time, you just have to text, 634 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: like keep up the communication. That's something that he could 635 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: do for you to assuaze your fears. But what you 636 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: can do to assuaze your fears is also if you 637 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: sit down and think of the worst possible scenario, which 638 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: would be to what that he cheated on you, right, 639 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: think of that, Think of that actually happening. You find 640 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: out he cheated on you, and then you break up 641 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: and then you're you like it's you're gonna be fine 642 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: no matter what the fuck happens. 643 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? 644 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: Like, so you break up, Yeah, you're heartbroken or whatever, 645 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna survive that too. Like, so all of this 646 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: worry and you're doing, like worrying to what availed? Do 647 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna die? Like, You're not gonna die. 648 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: You're worried about someone cheating and you're worried about communication 649 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: Like that can't be your driving attitude, you know what 650 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean? Your driving attitude has to be way more 651 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: focused and centered on what you're doing in your present 652 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: moment than occupying yourself with the negative possibilities. So that's 653 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: a conversation, like she said that you have to keep 654 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: having with yourself, and also a therapist or a like 655 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: guided meditation something that's gonna teach you how to calm 656 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: down and to breathe out your nerves. You know when 657 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: you have when they overcome you. Because if you see 658 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: with it and you think, Okay, I'm having this feeling 659 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm worried he's gonna cheat on me, then sit with it. 660 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: Go Okay, well what if he did cheat on me? 661 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: What would happen? Then well we would have to break out. 662 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: That would suck, but you would still be alive and 663 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: you would still survive. It's like it's even the worst 664 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: possible scenario. Isn't that bad? 665 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: It just sounds you know what I'm saying. 666 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds worse than it will be, you know. 667 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: And then if you go through all those feelings, it's 668 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: almost like you extinguish. You're like, Okay, yeah, that would 669 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: really suck. Now let me get on with the rest 670 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: of my day. 671 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 7: Wow, Yeah, I agree. I agree with all that.

The gay 742 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: male coworker. Not to stereotype, but he's pop culture savvy, 743 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: very stylish. 744 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 3: Gently spoken, and just overall adorable. I recently learned, after 745 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 3: forming a solid friendship over the past five months, that oops, 746 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 3: turns out, he dates women. This threw me for a loop. 747 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 3: Thinking that he was into men made it much easier 748 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 3: to have a friendship with him. Now that I know 749 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,479 Speaker 3: what might be possible, I can't stop thinking about him 750 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 3: while trying to get my work done. He makes me 751 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 3: laugh every day that we work together. On the days 752 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 3: I know we'll both be in office, I feel giddy 753 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 3: and excited to get to work. I have butterflies around him, 754 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 3: and we vibe together. The problem is, I'm married. I've 755 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 3: been with my husband for a long time and honestly 756 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 3: feel very satisfied in our relationship. We still have deep conversations, 757 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 3: we laugh together, have a great sex life, and overall 758 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 3: profound connection. So it's not as if I'm not getting 759 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 3: my needs met and therefore seeking them out elsewhere. 760 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet you are getting your knees Matt.

How do I work with this 764 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 3: person and avoid getting too close? How do I eventually 765 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 3: get over this crush?
