Dax Shepard

I'm not as happy as I should be.

I think this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

And I just didn't have the language or understanding of that.

My happiness didn't feel like it was important.

I think what was most important was that I honor this relationship.

Because of how much it's changed my life and how grateful I am for it and how amazing this human is.

And I don't want to say happiness.

I want to be frivolous about that.

Like, I think we wanted different things.

One of the things is like, I actually realized I didn't want to have children.

And that's a pretty big.

life change and so but I at that time I just thought I just kept putting it off and so that wasn't me lying it was me still trying to understand what I wanted and who I wanted to be and I think that's why for me it's really important having this perspective stepping back because like we have to really ask ourselves

Whose life we want to, because a marriage and a relationship is the blending of two lives, truly.

And so you have to really ask yourself, what life do I actually want?

And I don't think I was very clear about that.

All I knew was I want to be with this person.

I want to have this house.

I want to have this dog.

I want to have this mural.

But then I didn't ask myself, but like, where do you want to be in five years?
