It was. It was a long and committed relationship that was really wonderful. And eventually we got engaged, and that engagement brought up all these questions of what married life would look like for each of us. And through that, we realized that we had some very diverging aspirations. At the time, I was traveling a ton and was on this very adventure-y track of traveling the world.

My girlfriend at the time said, really wanted me around home more and was really kind of shifting more into like wanting more domesticity and safety and security that were really normal and sane things to want in her early 30s. And I was not there yet. And I didn't want to give up this life of travel and adventure and being footloose. We went to some couples counseling.

And the nail in the coffin after a number of sessions was this therapist saying something like, you two are both pretty articulate. You're both fairly self-aware. I think you can talk through this specific instance of this disagreement. But ultimately, maybe there's some differences in values here that are going to keep coming up and keep causing conflict.

And this is going to be something that you two keep dealing with year after year. And she's like, a lot of times in my experience, couples with these sort of differences, it doesn't work out for them long term. And then she added, maybe you guys get five more really good years out of it. And those last words just felt gutting. I remember we went to a coffee shop and cried in each other's arms.
