He was completely disoriented. He just kept saying the words, I need water. And I was like yelling at the paramedics, please get him water. He just, he's thirsty. He's thirsty. He needs water. And they're like, no, it's against protocol. We can't give him water. We have to wait to get him into the hospital and check in and this and that. And so, um, That happened.

And then the next day he was feeling better. I grabbed his hand and I posted a picture of us holding hands. And I was so ready to let go the day before. And I was like telling the world I'm still here for him. And it was like this moment of like. Yes, we are not romantically together in that way, but I still respect him as a father and my children.

And no matter what, I will always stand by his side. And it was like that kind of energy. So then it was almost like I was okay being in the relationship as a family, as like, I'm here, we're a team. But it was like, we were not a team. You were still lying to me.

So we had talked about it a couple times. I never said the words, I want a divorce. I never said those words ever out loud. The last conversation we'd had on separating, we actually talked about him getting another home. And I was getting another home because we were actually planning on leaving the rental we were at.

And you know, when you have like really deep conversations about making plans and then they just don't fall through. So it's kind of like that kind of thing. And then the stress of like life and all the things that it brings, you know? So that wasn't like, we weren't trying to get that done quickly, you know? Because usually when it comes to an end, you wanna get it done, right?

But we hadn't reached that moment of like, it's an urgency, we need to do it right now. When I had that realization that it has to happen right now, I have to stop waiting for the right time because there's never going to be a right time. The moment is now. And I had that realization when it was on my 33rd birthday. So this is really interesting.

My whole life, like ever since I was a kid, I always said 33 is going to be the biggest year of my life. And I would say that just like jokingly in my mind. And I thought 33 is going to be the biggest year of my life. And then I turned 33 and I was talking to my dad and I was like, hey, I really want to go to this retreat in Brazil. And he was like, I want to go with you. And I was like, perfect.
