Like me and Raleigh went through that.
She, at the beginning of our relationship, if we had a disagreement and we were the same, we never, we made a rule that we would never raise our voices at each other because I came from a home where it was not great.
She comes from a home where her parents don't raise their voices.
But I was just like, I never wanted that in my home.
I wanted the energy of my home to be so sacred.
And I wanted the energy of the home to always have a space where everyone just walked in and felt like a warm hug.
And I was like, we can't argue and then expect that to happen.
But it took a long time for us to realize that when she, at the start of our disagreements, she wanted space.
And I used to say to her, well, if you don't want to talk about it right now, that means you don't care about me.
And that wasn't true.
She just needed space to process.
So it took time for us to mature for me to realize, wait a minute, you wanting space is you caring for the relationship.
Some people, I get it.
They want to talk about it right then.
They want to, the one thing that also works for us so much is like, we're not chill people, but we're like, we're not, we're never going to get, I like, I'm not going to yell at anyone in my life.
Yeah, same.
Yeah.
And you know, I came from a home where a lot of that was happening.
And I saw, like, at a young age, and I was just like, well, like, my parents weren't speaking the same language.
Obviously, they were speaking the actual same language.
