<v Speaker 2>Looking at you across the microphone. That's it.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Times are tough anyway, Guys, you know what this episode is.

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>This is where we answer all of your questions and

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>we have had quite the few this week that have

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>been written in Let's be real. Britt has chosen the

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>questions because she's the one who does all the dms

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Instagram, but actually no, but to be fair,

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you've chosen one today, one that resonated with you.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, we did actually put one of these questions up

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>on the Facebook page. And I'm just gonna say, come on, guys,

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>like we put these things up there expecting everyone to

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>bend together and help the team out. And I feel

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>like this question wasn't answered to the best of its ability,

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>so we're going to answer it. Probably still not to

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the best of its ability. But that's not why you

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>come to us. Why do they come to us, Laura

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>for our enthusiasm. We didn't want to just touch base

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>on this week's episode. On Tuesday, the breakup episode, we

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>had such a good response from that, and you guys

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>really took something from that. A lot of you have

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>said you're going through breakups currently and has already really

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>helped you.

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>We love hearing that.

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's so nice to get your responses and say

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that you've taken something from that, and a lot of

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>you just said you had a good old chuckle.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>We love that too. Yeah, well, it was wild. That

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>was our wild. We were so wild, were so much.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>She's not what I was saying. It's out of control.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to calm down? Do you want to

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 1>stop stop doing and they have had some sugar. I

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Okay. So it was wild because it was

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>our most downloaded episode that we've ever done in a

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 1>single day, which is yeah, that was a high five.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for that, guys, I really appreciate it. It actually

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>was our highest rating app But it also just goes

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to show how many people are going through breakups, how

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>many people have been through them. I think it's like

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that one universal thing that we are all going to

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>go through at some point in our life and like

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a little a nice warm hug to say that we've

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>all been through it before. But also it's the same

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>for these episodes where you guys writing all of your

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>questions and the fact one that you trust us to

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>answer your questions, but also it makes us realize that,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're all in this together. We're all going

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>through our own things at different times. And I always

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>say this every single week, but it's really nice to

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>be reminded that you're not alone in the problems that

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you're having. We also had a lot of feedback and

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>your own stories that you wrote into both Laura's and

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 1>my story on the break in, So it was a

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>break up episode, but we started it with the break

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>ins because we thought that works. Well, No, that just

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>happened by fluke chance. I know you're trying to like

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>like make some and we didn't.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Correlation.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Nothing's planned, guys. We could just get on here and

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>we wing it. But some of your stories were so funny.

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>But there was one that I'm just gonna like completely summarize.

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>There was this one girl that wrote in and she

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>was at her boyfriend's house and it was like five

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>am and they live sort of on a property like

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>quite like quite away from everything, and it's five am

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>and she hears that someone's at the door and she

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>wakes up. She's like, oh my god, someone's at the

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>door and they know they're home alone. So she wakes

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>a partner up and he's like, you're imagining it. They

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>hear it again, then it goes silent, and he's like, no,

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I did hear selling, but it's gone now anyway, it's awesome. Yeah, No,

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>A minute goes past, and then they hear it at

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the back door. They're like, holy shit, they've gone to

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>try and get into the back door. Now, what are

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>we going to do? Then they hear it at the

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>front draw again. They're like, oh my god, babe, they're

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>fucking coming in both entrances.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>There's a group of.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Them and they're breaking in as a fucking group being

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>double ended.

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>They get up, they call the police.

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>The police are on their way to like, people are

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>trying to break into our house.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>It's five. We don't know what to do. They're like,

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>lock yourself in your room. So they lock the I'm

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 2>so embarrassed for them already.

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>In the room and they're sitting there with like some

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of weapon that they've found in their room barricade,

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and they can still hear the door going, like this

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>person's hardcore trying to break in. The police arrive and

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>they knock on the front door, and like they were

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 1>even too scared to get out and answer the police

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're like, the person's in the house. We heard them,

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>We heard the doggy door go into the house. They

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>now there's a dogged door at the house, but it's

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>not for their dog. They don't have a dog.

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It was just it was before that.

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>So they hear the police and they're like, do we

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>do this? What if the person's in the house and

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>we go to the front door to get the police,

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>but to get sabbed, so they get us on the way.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>We've been watching too much screen. So she sends him.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>She's like, babe, go to the police. So the police

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>are at the front and the back as well. The

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>police go the boyfriend goes to the police at the front,

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and the girlfriend goes to police the back. Then the

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>policemen say, mate, you've lost your dog. We've found it.

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>They're like, what weell, I don't have a dog. They're like, well,

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you do have a dog.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's your dog. And she's like, I don't. I don't

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>have it.

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>She's like, I don't have a dog. Someone's in my

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>fucking house.

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I do not.

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I am telling you I do not have a dog.

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>This goes on.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>She's like check, they're going check my house, like someone

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>is in there anyway. Turns out turn out her boyfriend

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>At five am, he missed this dog missed them across

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>an hour across the town to find them, and then

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>started running around the house trying to get in the

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>front of the back, in the front of the back,

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.400

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the bloody dog trying to break in. They'd called the police,

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>they'd wasted their time for like an hour, and it

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:58.000

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.039

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>things have happened, well, actually small things, because her apartment

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>is very small. I don't feel like it's big things happening.

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>But I picked up my keys. Guys, I moved my

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a microwave and a plant. Well, yeah, well, I don't

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 1>know what you have in your house.

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean I've got a pile of shit right here.

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I got a lot of pile of shit right here.

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Brick comes into my house sometimes and I'm like, look,

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's very messy. Everything is in organized piles of shit. No,

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>this is what happens when you have a kid.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not that. It's actually not mess She's in that

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>pile over there. Movie isn't.

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, enough of this, let's get into the questions.

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>We've got three questions for this episode that you guys

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>have written in and we're gonna make it.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Short, sharp, and ready to rumble.

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, First up, guys, my boyfriend and I have a

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>lot in common, and whenever we are together we talk

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot. However, for some reason, I sometimes get nervous

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>before going out to dinner with him, like on a

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>nice state, because I worry that we're gonna sit there

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and not have anything to talk about. How do you

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>come up with fresh and fun conversations on date night

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>when you spend so much time together already? Sos So

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I picked I picked this question. This question came in

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and Brut was like, ah, no, no, no, like we'll

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>pick another one.

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I relate to this, which is

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>what I love about you.

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>And me and our dynamic is that we are so

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>different that we do bring different things because I don't

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>have that issue. But it's like, I'm so interesting. I

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 1>always had things to talk about.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Are you idiots?

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a long term relationship, but yes, I

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>can talk underwater.

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>But I meant I don't have a partner. I I

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>relate to this much.

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And I even said this to Matt, so like this

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>question came into our DMS last night and I and

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I said to Matt like, oh, like, don't you remember

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>when we were dating earlier on and like I said,

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>did you ever feel like this with me?

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>And he was like no, And then I was like, yeah,

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>me neither. I didn't.

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I've always felt really super confident and like I knew

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>what I was talking about. And then you're closing your

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>apps that are like what to talk.

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>About on a date? I shit, you not.

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I have literally googled that before, like how to make conversation.

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>And what I realized is like, it's not because obviously

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>this is not just isolated to Matt, like I've done

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.719
<v Speaker 1>this in multiple past relationships. It's it's from overthinking. If

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you know that you have a great connection with your partner.

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>If you know that you have so much in common

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>that the worry and the fear that it's attached to

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>thinking that you're going to go out for dinner and

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you're going to have nothing to talk about, it's just overthinking.

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It's really like putting this like insecurity and pressure on

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>that conversation.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.839
<v Speaker 2>And it's really sweet because you just you.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Know, you want to like make sure that the time

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and the conversation is always filled, but you don't have

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to always feel every single moment with conversation. It's actually

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes really nice to be comfortable in your partner's presence

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and be comfortable in the silence of their presence. So

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.319
<v Speaker 1>do you actually have a tip, Laura, Like would you

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>say google news articles?

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Would you say no?

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Like, but what about the people that actually are running

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>out of convo No, So I would say for starters.

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I think exactly what happened with me and Matt when

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I said to him, like, oh, when we very first

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>started dating, I used to get worried that we would

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>not have anything to talk about, and I used to

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>think and like really sort of stress myself out before

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>we'd go for dinners where it's that very like one

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>on one, no other stimulus to kind of like stimulate

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the conversation.

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>You've just got to talk to each other.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I used to be a bit fearful that maybe there

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>would be silence in that and maybe we wouldn't have

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>anything to talk about, especially because we had just come

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>from the bachelor world, where there's always some something and

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>someone generating conversation for you. Hand it's you on a platter.

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't fight for it. Every single time you go

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.839
<v Speaker 1>on a date. There's something happening around you that you're

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>told to talk about. So this was the first time

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that we had just been in in each other's company,

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh god, what if we struggle

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.079
<v Speaker 1>to make conversation? And so when I was telling that

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 1>about this question, he just laughed and was like, I

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>never felt like that with you. He's like, even if

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>there were times where we didn't have anything to talk about,

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't feel that that silence was awkward. And so

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I just think, you don't need to fill all your

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>time with conversation. If it's okay to like have silence

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>before the next interesting conversation comes to life. Well, the

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.199
<v Speaker 1>thing is, there is a such thing as a comfortable silence.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's the goal that every relationship wants to get to,

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 1>because if you're with somebody long term for the rest

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of your life, I'm talking thirty forty fifty years, I

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>can guarantee you you're not going to be constantly talking.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna have something interesting to say all the time.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>So you do want to get to a place where

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you can enjoy a comfortable silence. And I think that

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>is an amazing place to get to. So if that's

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>what it is, don't stress. I Am going to add

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>something else, and that is I have been in a

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>position before where I was in this position. I was

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>having these silences on a dinner with someone I had

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>been dating for quite a while, and it wasn't so

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>much comfortable silence anymore. And this is why I had

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>to make a decision that it was time to leave

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the relationship. And it's because it wasn't a comfortable silence.

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>It was because I was trying to start a conversation

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and I was trying to talk about things that were interesting.

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I was posing questions and my partner at the time

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>had zero interesting anything that I did anymore. And it

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>smacked me hard in the face, and I realized, Okay,

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>this isn't comfortable silence anymore. We just have nothing in common,

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that is what you need to differentiate.

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Is it comfortable?

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you happy just to chill in each other's company

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and you get along like a house on fire in

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>every other aspect? Or is it that you were just

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>so polar opposites in your views of the world, what

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you want in life, what you think is funny, what

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you think is interesting, what drives you, what stimulates you.

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>If you guys are nowhere near that anymore, that's when

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you take a look and think, Okay, maybe we're not

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>on the same path, maybe we're not as connected as

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought we were totally. But I think in this case,

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>because this listener has written in it and she says

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that she does have a lot in common and that

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>they have lots of conversations to meet the day, I

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>think it's almost unreasonable to think that you can spend

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>all day, every minute with your partner, so much time together,

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and then get to dinner time and have all this

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>wealth of extra things to talk about. I think you're

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>putting an unreasonable amount of pressure on yourself to perform

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.679
<v Speaker 1>like you can't expect to constantly have super super super

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>interesting conversations to bring to the dinner table, because you've

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>already talked all day about all different things, and so

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna sit down and you know, like I do,

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>think that you sit down at dinner sometimes and you'll

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about the food, or you'll talk about a friend,

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>or you might not be talking about politics or what's

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>happening in the world, all these big, great, incredible, like

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>life changing conversations because you can't always be having those conversations.

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I actually still do this now. I actually just really

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>love to play this game. I'll give an example for you, Laura.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll ask things like, and I think it's a good

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 1>way to get to know each other, but it's also

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a hard question. It's a way to feel a silence

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>if you do feel like it's silence. So I would say,

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>for example, I'm just plucking this off my head, Laura.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>If you had to give up wine or cheese for

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life, you can only have one,

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>what's it gonna be like?

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>This is like the g rated version of would you rather?

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather found?

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Would you wear a hatful of spiders or have penises

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 1>for fingers.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.559
<v Speaker 2>That's fucked. There's always one that takes it too far.

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>But I actually want to know, would you gi about

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>wine or cheese for the rest of your life?

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Neither? Yeah, that's the Laura. The game is that I

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>give up cheese cheese. You don't get to say neither.

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Who are you? Laura Burne? Thank you very much?

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>When we're the Bachelor twenty fifteen, sixteen seventeen, I don't

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>even know how long it was?

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Seven sold. Do you know what else you can do?

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Just have a kid.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Just have kids, and then you'll never go out for

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.839
<v Speaker 1>dinner and you'll never have this problem and you won't talk.

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You'll fight perfect you always have something to fight about.

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean talk about anyway.

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>To sum this up, don't overthink I mean, we're being silly,

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>but we are also very serious.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Don't overthink it. We've all been in.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>That position where we have stressed about, Oh my god,

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>what am I going to fill the silence with? What

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna say? What am I gonna do?

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry about it. Just enjoy it.

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.560
<v Speaker 1>And if you're going out and there are every date

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 1>is super awkward silence. Maybe they're not the one for you,

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>but don't overthink it. Yes, agree, couldn't have said it

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>better myself. I hate that saying it's so arrogant. Couldn't

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>have said it better myself.

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I've never thought that before. I think it is. It's like,

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 2>why would I think that I could say it better?

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 2>You know what? I couldn't say it as good as

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 2>you did because you are great. Thank you. There you

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 2>go question number two.

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I can't even with you like I just can't.

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I just can't even, So I don't question number two. Hey, girls,

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>question here obviously for as thanks for leaving up it

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>In Britain, I recently went on a date with a

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 1>guy I met from Hinge.

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 2>The date went really well.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>We went out to dinner, conversation was great. He ended

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>up coming back to my place mail she didn't write

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that bit I had chicken wow Wow. I message him

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the next day to thank him for a great night

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and suggested that we see each other again soon. His

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>response was thank you. It was lovely full stop. I

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't responded as he didn't say he wanted to catch

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>up again. Should I reply or just cut my losses?

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Is he keen or not help cut your losses? Yeah?

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to come in too hot, hard and harsh.

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But I from experience, I'm gonna say I don't think

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>he's keen, because we all know that if we want

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to see someone, we will, And if he did, he

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>would have said, thank you, it was lovely, Let's do

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it again soon when you're free. He would have tacked

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>something on to the end of the sentence instead of

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>just saying it was lovely. So I think the hard

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>answer for this right now is that he probably did

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 1>have a great time, no doubt, but he doesn't see

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>anything in the future. Yeah, totally, Like it's it's shit,

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>especially if you have gone on one day and you

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>thought that you guys really hit it off, and then

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously you guys went home and it progressed to something

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a bit more. I guess there's like that little bit

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>of hope that's tied up in like maybe I'm going

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to see him again. But I think you have already

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You've already put the ball in his court. You've already

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>said hope that we get to see each other again.

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>And his his message back is pretty short and sharp,

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that in and of itself is

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he's closed that door and maybe he will open it again,

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't really feel like he's opening it to

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>date and to get to know you. He may open

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it again just for a booty call. So be aware,

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>stay woke, ladies. I often think, also, go with your

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>gut and when this happens to me, When this happens

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to me, like every single weekend, when a guy goes

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to me, no, But if this happened to me, I

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>would always put myself in a situation. So I think

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>if I went on a date and he wrote to

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>me and said I want to see you again, but

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, what would I say?

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I would have written back.

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So I always think if you would have written that

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to him, let's be real, if he said he wants

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to see you again, you didn't, you would have said

0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it was great, thanks, and you would have left it.

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's a high truth.

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think deep down, usually we know the answer

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you're asking because you're hoping it's a different response because

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>obviously you enjoyed your.

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Time and that bloody sucks.

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>And we've all been there, we've all been on the

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>receiving end of you know, unrequited love.

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>But I think not.

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Necessarily cut your losses. Maybe one day a week, two

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>weeks a month. Maybe he will come back. Maybe, who knows.

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 1>But to answer your question, no, I don't think you

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 1>can follow up on this again. I don't think you

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.439
<v Speaker 1>should message him back. Maybe he will come to you

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 1>in the future, brilliant, Maybe he won't. That's fine, move on.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I think one more thing I want to add to

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>this is do not take this personally. Yeah, And I

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 1>think that that's really important, as much as it sucks,

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and as much as there's a part of it that

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel a bit like oh, like okay, well,

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean that wasn't what I expected or what I'd

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 1>hoped for. You don't know this guy. You don't know

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>what he's after in a person. You don't know what

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he's after for his life or where he's at in

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>his life.

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Regardless of what he said or what he did on

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a one night dinner.

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>One date, that's not enough timeframe for you to actually

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 1>know that person or to be invested in who they are.

0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So you cannot take his actions as an affe to you,

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 1>because it is not a reflection of who you are.

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not a reflection of your worth, and it's not

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a reflection of how datable you are or another guy

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 1>who's going to want to be with you in the future.

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 1>So please don't allow yourself to be sad by one

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 1>guy and one date that didn't turn into a relationship

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 1>because he's not worth it. I couldn't agree more. I'm

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>so glad you said that, because it is so easy

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to be weighed down by it and take it personally.

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 2>What did I do wrong? Yeah? What did I say?

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Me?

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Like? Why doesn't he want to date me? Especially when

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:27.359
<v Speaker 2>you think you want to date him?

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>But you just you don't know where he's at in

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>his life and on his like crazy, weird little journey.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 1>So let him sail off into the distance because your

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>penguin has come And girlfriend.

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember I told you I'm just going to

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 2>talk the podcast this There was a while.

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm not gonna tell you. Yes you are, Yes

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you are. Get on over here, girlfriend, bring your face

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>close to that microphone. There was a time unveil your soul.

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>There was a time over a year ago now that

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I started to see this guy and anyway, I was like,

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>I am not going to sleep with you for a

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.920
<v Speaker 1>long time because I am sick of just dating dating, dating,

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>dating and going through it. So I was like, I'm

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 1>not gonna sleep with you anyway.

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I remember this guy, Yeah you remember, I knew you anyway.

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 1>And also I like to trial different things, like waiting

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.359
<v Speaker 1>a week, waiting three weeks, waiting three months, like waiting

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>all these different times, because you know how people are

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>like can you sleep on the first date, or I

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 1>waited two weeks or there's no rule, But I like

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to trial it to see what works.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, I was seeing this guy, and.

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, a week went by, three weeks, a month,

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>two months, and then I thought, oh my god, he's

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 1>still wanted to see me and I haven't slept with him.

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 1>He must really like me. Got to the three month mark,

0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I was seeing him for three months.

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Why did you hold up for so long?

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Because I evidently wasn't that interesting in the game, But yeah,

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>how long can I ask? Obviously I wasn't to be

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, he was never my penguin. We had

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>some nice dinners, we had fun, but I obviously didn't

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.439
<v Speaker 1>feel it. But we enjoyed hanging out. And I got

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to the point where I was like, how far can

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I push this?

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Before?

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, three months. This guy actually

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>really likes me. Let's let's let's do this. Slept with him,

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 1>never heard from him. I got a message from him

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>being like, you know, like I had a really great

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>time by but.

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you say, was the sex is my question?

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, on my half? Brilliant? Thank you? But where

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:18.919
<v Speaker 2>this story is going, if.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>You guys are all wondering, if you're still with me,

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>where this is going. Is that he slid back on

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in two days ago.

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you don't. You don't need a guy to

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>slide back on it.

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.360
<v Speaker 1>No. I just thought it was interesting and he was like, Hey,

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry for how things left. I don't know why

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I did that, and love to buy your copy and

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>makeup for it. He's like, because you look smoking hot

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>on the TV right now, it's funny. I was just

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 1>thinking of you because you're in channel ten. I mean,

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 1>because you just slipped into my mind. Anyway, that was

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a nice little segue. Let's get on to question number three.

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Question number three, is you actually have that as you're

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>reading it? Oh, it's your turn.

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.360
<v Speaker 1>So question number three was a question that we put

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.359
<v Speaker 1>out to the Facebook group, and it was a question

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that we both read and we were like, you know what,

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 1>this is actually something that's really important and is going

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>to profoundly impact this person's, this listener's life, And so

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>we put it out in the Facebook group because we

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 1>thought we would get some quick answers to it. But

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that the listener got this sort of

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>answers that she needs, or got the sort of depth

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>or quality to the responses. So we've decided that we're

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>going to readdress it here. We do think it's really

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 1>important that when you guys do ask us a question,

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 1>you get the answer that you want some way, whether

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that's from us or whether it's from the group. And yeah,

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 1>we definitely don't think this girl got it. So we're

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>going to review it, and this is it. Last year,

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I found out my husband had been sending inappropriate messages

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>with this chick. I was heavily pregnant at the time

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 1>with our third child and totally devastated. Fast forward a

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 1>year and we are still together. I made the choice

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to forgive him. He's been totally transparent about it all,

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>completely cut her out of his life, answered all my questions,

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.919
<v Speaker 1>no matter how awkward or uncomfortable they make him or

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>how upset the answers make me. I've had access to

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>his phone whenever I want all of that stuff. He's

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:00.679
<v Speaker 1>copped it all in the chin. I never tried to

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.479
<v Speaker 1>downplay what happened, and I know he's truly sorry and

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 1>regrets it. Things are good in that aspect, but I

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 1>still can't totally shake it. I don't want to leave him.

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>It's not that I don't trust him. It's just that

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 1>my confidence took a hit, and so I often find

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.920
<v Speaker 1>myself doubting myself. Now. I don't really know what I'm asking.

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess I chose our relationship and this is what

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I want, But how can I completely let go of

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:21.439
<v Speaker 1>the past.

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a big tough.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>My heart breaks reading this because can you imagine already

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 1>having two kids, being heavily pregnant with your third child,

0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.880
<v Speaker 1>emotions high, stress high, fatigue high, and then you find

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 1>out your husband's been inappropriately messaging someone else, who I

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 1>imagine probably is younger with no kids, and it would

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you would have taken a really, really big hit for

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.719
<v Speaker 1>your confidence. And I can't even imagine so starting out,

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry that happened to you. That's bloody shit. It

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 1>seems like you do really want to make the relationship work,

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 1>because you've said you've chosen the relationship and he's been

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 1>really great. It sounds like he's trying to meet you halfway,

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>and he's really more than halfway. Yeah, he's giving you

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 1>everything you've asked for. He's been really open and apologetic,

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like he's doing everything he can to

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 1>make up for this. So I don't know if you've

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>done couples counseling because you didn't mention that, but I

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely think that that is something you should look at

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.399
<v Speaker 1>doing because you've made the decision that you want to

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>make it work for yourself and your family. And this

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>is controversial people. Not everyone's going to be on board

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>with it, depending on what it is. I don't think

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:30.120
<v Speaker 1>if there's infidelity in a relationship once, I don't think

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it has.

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:32.439
<v Speaker 2>To be the end. I do not condone under it.

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an advocate for it, no, but I just

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>want to say for families like this that have gone

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.719
<v Speaker 1>through something tumultuous like this, it doesn't have to necessarily

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>be the end. You can work through it. And we

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>have looked up so many articles from psychologists, so many

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:48.719
<v Speaker 1>articles from therapists that have said a lot of couples

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:52.959
<v Speaker 1>that go through infidelity and have these tumultuous situations actually

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>come out stronger. So I don't want you to write

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 1>this off. And I do think you're in the right direction,

0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think you obviously need a third party to

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>step in now and help you because you're both meeting

0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:03.679
<v Speaker 1>halfway and you're not getting to where you want to be.

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>So you need someone.

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>That's unbiased to come in and help. Exactly what Britt said, Like,

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 1>relationships can survive infidelity of all, like and you this

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>is just text messages, Like relationships can survive affairs if

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>both parties want that, and if the person who is

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the you know in the wrong shows up every day

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.479
<v Speaker 1>and proves and time and time again that they're committed

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and that they want to change. I really do believe that, like,

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>infidelity doesn't have to be the end of a relationship,

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think I think you just need to give

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 1>yourself time, Like it's not been that long since it's happened,

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.439
<v Speaker 1>and so much has changed in your life, and you

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 1>haven't been able to focus on yourself. You haven't been

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>able to focus in your relationship because you're focused on

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a new baby and also your other two children. So

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I think give yourself time to adjust to what's happened,

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to process it. And the more that he keeps showing up,

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the more that he keeps proving to you that he

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>did the wrong thing, and the more he keeps being

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>open with his phone and open in your relationship, I

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>think over time, the more settled you're going to feel.

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>The other thing to think about is and we do

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>really want to reiterate that we don't condone infidelity. When

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.640
<v Speaker 1>we say that relationships can survive it, we're just saying

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:10.439
<v Speaker 1>that they can survive. It doesn't have to be the end.

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>But we're not condoning it. We're not saying it's okay.

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 2>You can do it. I'll forgive you, like I just

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:14.199
<v Speaker 2>want to.

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't want you guys going all crazy thinking we're all.

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Crazy, I'll cut your balls off.

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:23.919
<v Speaker 1>But I do think there is this little aspect that

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you do need to be aware of that there are

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>obviously different levels of infidelity. Maybe it's just texting like

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 1>this couple were. We're not sure if there's more, but

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>she says just texting, or.

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was a full blown affair.

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Obviously they're going to both have You're gonna have different

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>coping mechanisms, and it's going to require different levels for

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>you to get back to where you were.

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 2>So there's not.

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 1>One level of cheating. And I think you do need

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to accept that if you're in that relationship and you

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 1>have experience in fidelity and you make the decision to stay,

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 1>it may not go back to where it was. You

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 1>can still get to a really good place and continue.

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>But if you're holding these really high hopes of you,

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.719
<v Speaker 1>if you have these really high expectations of getting back

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>to exactly where you were before the infidelity, you probably

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:12.199
<v Speaker 1>will find yourself disappointed because it's not often you can

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 1>get back to that exact place. I'm not going to

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>downplay it, like I'm not saying that it's not the

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>shittest thing ever to find text messages like that. But

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I think if it is text messages and in time

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and you give yourself time to heal, I do think

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that you can get back to being very happy in

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.439
<v Speaker 1>your relationship. And this isn't going to be something that

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>comes up every single day, or it's not going to

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 1>be something you think of. Yes, you may think of

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it from time to time, and it may cloud your

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.159
<v Speaker 1>your you know, it may come into your head one

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>day and then that will make you feel sad.

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think it's going to be a constant

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 2>in the future.

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.160
<v Speaker 1>So long as your partner keeps on showing up every day,

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 1>being a good husband, being committed to you, not fucking

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>texting some check who he was texting, and is a

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 1>great dad. I do think that you can get back

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:56.199
<v Speaker 1>to being in a really, really happy place. But just

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 1>give yourself time. Yeah, give yourself time and accept that

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>he is showing up for you at the moment every day.

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's a really great should be. Like

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>what hell, you should still work hard now, So I mean,

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to hear that he's doing that, but also like, yeah,

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that's his job. If you guys, do have an opinion

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>on this and you do want to help her out,

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that is up on the page. Maybe you've been through

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 1>something similar yourself and you feel like you can relate

0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 1>more and you're listening to us talk and say, oh, well,

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I would have handled it differently.

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 2>This is what we're here for.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:27.240
