I mean, I can tell you that like three or four. I don't know when I saw him again because I went straight. I like I remember my passport was being renewed and it came back three days later. And two days after that, I was in Mexico City. OK. And I stayed for a month and then I went to Belize. I'm out of here.

And two days after that, I was in Mexico City. OK. And I stayed for a month and then I went to Belize. I'm out of here.

But I know that whenever I saw him again, I remember him telling me that I should get my anger checked. So I think I was mean that night. Oh, okay. But he now said, I don't know if that was more his reaction, because he now is like, no, I don't think you were actually that bad that night. Yeah. In the moment, it felt bad. I mean, he was probably feeling the feelings as well. Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, there were other moments in our relationship, and I know now that this is a very ADHD thing, but I regulated by completely shutting down. And in this moment, I didn't shut down. I just let it all out. I think it had felt to me a few times like if I said what I really thought, the relationship would end. And in this moment, it was already over.

So I could say whatever I wanted because I was no longer risking anything.

started to regulate your emotions and you've grown up and you, you know, you're in your mid thirties. And then I just started to realize that there were a lot of situations I had never been in because I hadn't been in a relationship. I hadn't been living with a partner.
