We've never really recovered properly.

So we're seeing an economic destruction in the rural areas, which is driving people into the cities.

A lot of loss of young people and the ones who are left don't have many options.

So I would not say that marital success is better out in the boonies right now.

Well, for sure.

Cities like New York City, L.A., Miami, these are ground zero for attachment issues, not being able to connect to people.

Most of my clients come from L.A., New York City, Miami.

Right.

But they're all bad.

No one anywhere is really feeling absolute success.

And there's there is a specific reason for that that I can get into a little bit.

Congratulations.

People in your age group are, I'm a little older, you forgive me for that, I'm going to sound like an old man, but people in your age group largely are becoming more and more afraid of marriage because it seems like it's outdated to them.

Yeah, good, good.

You're doing good now, I hope.

What made you, let me ask this, what was it about her that made you finally give up on that fear and push through it?

Yeah, that's smart.

I mean, it is smart.

We have to do that, especially today because we don't have a safety net.

I know you grew up in a middle class family.
