And 47 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 3: as a planner, like I think if I focused on 48 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: that too much, I'd drive myself crazy a little bit. 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: So I've trying to take a backseat approach to everything 50 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: and just know that, like the people that are that 51 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 3: are looking into things are looking into things, and there's 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: a lot more that has to happen, and I can 53 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 3: be patient, Like I mean, I looking on the bright 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: side of things.

So just just like with with 349 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 3: the incident with their kid, and so when when that 350 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 3: video came out, like she had already very fully described 351 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: it to me, like I had a mental image of 352 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 3: that same scene, So it's not something she shied away from. 353 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 3: And like the whole entire time on the show, she 354 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: is like because she was asking us the same questions. 355 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 3: She's like like she would ask the tough questions and 356 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 3: needed to know these and like as someone that's here 357 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 3: with intentionality and someone that's like I'm making a lifetime decision, 358 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: like you should know these things and should ask these questions. 359 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: So she was the one that brought up originally, and 360 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 3: when she did like it, it took me a little 361 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: while to process it. So she brought that up, and 362 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 3: we were having a really good night at that time, 363 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: and it just wasn't the time or the place, and 364 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 3: I didn't really know how I was feeling. I brought 365 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 3: it up the next time and she was super cool, 366 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 3: calm and collected about it.

And it's like the only thing that I 369 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: could imagine is like being worse than like the person 370 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: on the receiving end of that is like the person 371 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 3: that knows they did that and has to live with 372 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: that for the rest of their lives. Like if it 373 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: was me, I would be beating myself up over that 374 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 3: every day and it would make it so hard, like 375 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 3: not to go back to that and not to lose 376 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: control again because you're just like on edge all the time. 377 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 3: But I brought it up and explained like, hey, like 378 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 3: this is why I ended my relationship, Like this is 379 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 3: this is kind of a source subject for me.

You 653 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable sharing, you don't have to, but you 654 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: mentioned obviously before you came on the show that you 655 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: were going through a little bit of a breakup. 656 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: So what really was your dating history, Like we'll start there. 657 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: Do you have a lot of, you know, serious relationships 658 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: or was it just a few? 659 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 2: How was that? 660 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 6: So? I've had three I guess maybe two. One was 661 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 6: a high school relationship, but I've had two, yeah, serious 662 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 6: relationships after that, and the most previous one where I 663 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 6: got dumped. I thought that was going to be it, 664 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 6: like we're gonna get married. But yeah, I mean, it 665 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 6: takes a lot from me to get into a relationship, 666 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 6: and it's hard for me to open up. And I 667 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 6: think that's always been my problem because I really have 668 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 6: a hard time trusting people, which is probably probably not 669 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 6: a good thing, but I keep myself closed a lot. 670 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,239 Speaker 6: But I think that breakup was the best thing that 671 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 6: ever happened to me.
