You were made to feel like the bad guy.

So when you walked into that commitment ceremony and you chose to stay, even though every bone in your body didn't want to...

You stayed because you thought I need to change perspective on yourself because you're the bad guy in this and your sister's the aggressor in this.

So it was really confronting to me to see that, no, Athena, you were not the bad guy.

No, because I'm going to tell you right now,

I never would have dated Adrian in my own community, in my soil, in my friend group, in my... Like, he wouldn't have got past the first date.

That's the truth.

If I met Adrian, I can appreciate when someone's attractive, but the language you will see me use through the experiment is chemistry, physical attraction.

Chemistry, physical attraction.

That's it.

Chemistry, physical attraction.

Now, I love to compliment my partner because...

Now, if he had any other redeeming qualities about him, you would have heard me mention it multiple times.

The only reason you only hear chemistry and physical attraction is because that's all he had to him.

So if I'm going to, you know, give affirmations to my partner, I'm not going to lie.

That's all he had.

And that's not a foundation of a long-term relationship, which I had just come from.

And that's what I still wanted.

He's someone I would have slept with once and not again.

Ever again.
