You know I'm kind of a lot to deal with, right? So I had this fear that I wouldn't find love again, and I've got a terrifying fear of being alone too. So I wasn't convinced that Jess is who I'm going to go be in love with. It just convinced me that I am able to be happy in the presence of somebody else.

And so when I decided I was going to move out and move in with Thomas and take him up on that offer, Jess went with me. Now, we're still just friends. We're literally sleeping in the same bed and still just friends, which I know sounds crazy. I tried to kiss her one time. She cried. That was interesting. The next day, she kissed me. And then, you know, from there on, things were physical.

But this is like months went in that gap. So then, you know, I told Erin, like, let's go ahead and do this divorce. I'm moving on, which is what she had told me to do to begin with. And so she was like, OK, neither of us wanted it, but it's what needs to happen, that kind of thing. And, um, Jess and I pretty much moved into Thomas's house and started building the life together.

Okay. All right. So I'm just going to preface that. All right. We've come a long way since then. I've grown a lot as a human being. I was still sleeping with Aaron. And so when she found out I was sleeping with Jess, she sat Jess down and said, hey, just so you're aware, I'm still sleeping with him too. And Jess acted like she didn't care. Yeah. But in reality, it ripped her guts out.
