Originally, I was going to ask you how I can reconcile the differences with where my husband and I started our relationship about 10 years ago to where we are now. But something happened this weekend that kind of changed the trajectory of my question a little bit. I've known my husband for about 10 years. And when we met, I was coping with childhood abuse, recently lost a cousin to suicide.

And he was like the first person to actually hold me and let me cry. I was okay with a lot of drugs, drinking, promiscuity, stuff like that. I'm not okay with that anymore.

That's how I coped. Okay, great. About five years ago, I lost my dad to a drug overdose. He was 54. I got the opportunity to be lucky enough to bring my husband home from the hospital from a drug overdose. So I'm wondering how I can protect myself and our four-month-old while still offering my husband the connection he so desperately needs without enabling him.

Yeah. Yeah, no, thanks for taking my call. I never thought I would actually get to talk to you, so it's super cool.

So we met, and I was, I guess, a little bit of a party girl. And we were okay. I was okay with us, like, drinking, having a good time. I told him previously, I'm like, I'm not... a stickler when it comes to like porn use and stuff like that.

And the more I've learned about it, just like the neurological aspects of, of that kind of addiction and just the thought that anybody that's in that environment is probably not healthy or happy themselves. They don't really want to be there. So it bothers me to, to have to know that he's watching porn. And I used to be okay with that. Um, I used to, we used to drink kind of heavily together.

Um, and that's kind of how I coped with everything that has gone on in my life. I got a high score on the aces, probably like a eight out of 10.
