No, you will always pick the person who's good at pushing your buttons. You're always going to do that. But if you have a proper relationship with those buttons, you're in a better place for the person who will push them responsibly.

Yeah. What were your buttons? I never really thought of it, but looking back, I think providing was a button. You know, if you feel like you're not providing, that goes back to earlier or not taking care of.

I don't know how it manifests itself when I look back at it. And anything, that's the thing that was triggered. Now, it could be something unrelated that could actually trigger that. Like one of our big fights when we were married was my wife was very successful as an actor when she was young. And she really wanted to be a mom. And she didn't want to work full time. She wanted to be at home a lot.

And I said, hey, I'm for whatever you want to do. You want to work? We'll figure it out. And she said, no, I really want to be a mom most of the time. And she did a lot of voiceover work and that kind of stuff. But I think a lot of resentment build because that's really hard work. Being a mom? Oh, being with kids all the time?

Completely, you know. And it really that pushed a lot of her buttons. You know, I used to do this joke or this one. I have some jokes, you know, that I never really did in stand up, but they were my favorite jokes. Oh, yeah. And I just kept them in places. Here's one of them. Never did this in stand up. This is it.

So I said, when you're you know, when you meet somebody, you're going out with somebody. Everybody has baggage, right? You know, no one's. It's just that most of the time all you have is carry on baggage. You know, when you date somebody, that's all you have. And you look and you go, oh, they just have carry on. That's not so bad. I can do with that, you know, backpack.

yeah it's reasonable i got nothing i got a computer bag i got nothing but that's all you have to care when you get married though that's when you first go to baggage claim right and you go oh i didn't know you that yeah where did this bag come from you know all these bags started popping up that you know you didn't know and so then so you have to go through that and then when you have kids that's when your loss of luggage is delivered to your house these are bags you didn't even know you had completely forgotten that you packed so children

They unearthed all the issues you didn't even know that you had. And so she resented me out in the world getting praise and all this stuff because I was getting a lot of success during that time. I was winning awards. 90s. Yeah, a lot of stuff was happening. And she was mainly at home doing that. And she even admitted there was a lot of resentment. And she would say she wanted an equal partner.

And I'm like, equal partner? Who's paying for these trips? I do my thing. And man, that triggered me when I look back that I was accused of not doing my job as a provider. But what she was asking for was something else that I couldn't hear at the time. What was it? She needed help in this arena where she did not feel seen in taking the kids. In taking care of the kids.

No, you had to show up. And there's ways of showing up that I could have done better. But I just, I was exhausted and overwhelmed at the time too. But for other reasons, you know. But I missed one of my biggest regrets. Because of the magic you were doing at the Magic Castle.
