Dr. Molly Burrets

And it was the first time in our relationship that I really ever thought about our age difference because it never mattered before.

It was the first time that I started feeling like, man, I'm a liability.

Right.

And it made me feel bad about myself.

And it made me have these like, you know, I would tell myself these lies in my head like, you know, he could do better.

He wouldn't have to be going through all this if he had just married someone his age or younger.

My husband could be with a 30-year-old right now, you know.

And it really started the cycle of lies of like, I'm not good enough.

And that can, that really, if you let that go and you let that spiral, that can really infiltrate a relationship.

So we really had to deal with that head on.

And he was able to, until I told him this is where my mind is going, he didn't know to tell me, I would choose you 100 times out of 100.

If I could be with a 30-year-old, I would never want that.

But he had to know what I was thinking.

I had to be vulnerable and admit that.

in order for him to give me what I need, which is, Molly, I would take you 100 times out of 100.

I wouldn't want an easier journey with a younger person.

And that's how it was solved.

But it was really scary for me to say that to him.

Yes.

Yeah.
