And I have found that the best thing for me to do is to just not have the sound. And when I want to return the call, I return the call. If I want to answer, I answer it. I'm trying to remember, turn your phone on when your husband leaves the house. Because he's like, you're unreachable. And you're like, correct. Correct. That is the point. So I'm trying to remember that.

Okay, turn your ringer on sometimes. But I really like... Using the phone when I want to use the phone. I think that's a wonderful boundary for me.

Hmm. That is a tough one because I think particularly in adult relationships, they come with a lot of conditions. I mean, even our dating phase is set up for conditions like, you know, do you like to travel? Where would you like to live? Oh, I don't like your parents. You know, like all of these things are conditions. So can we really say like, I love this person unconditionally?

No, you love them if they like to travel, right? Yeah. And when they don't want to travel anymore, that is a new condition. I don't know. Maybe when I'm 100, I can really answer this question because my kids are not old enough yet. I'm 90% sure I love them unconditionally. I can't imagine a thing that they could do where I would be like, oh, that's it.

So can we really be unconditional if, you know, a person has to meet certain criteria? Yeah. So good.

I think that we need to try to leave relationships in the most drama-free way possible. We don't want to leave them and let people know everything that we think about them because it's not helpful and it's completely biased. This relationship has changed for you, but clearly this person is in other relationships where who they are is working, right?

Do they need to know, you know, I no longer want to be friends with you because X, Y, and Z. I don't think people always need to know that. I think there are tons of ways to leave relationships. We've been leaving relationships since the beginning of time. I don't have any friends from elementary school. Middle school. Yeah. You know, how did we leave those relationships?

They just sort of fizzle out. They just decrease over time. There wasn't a conversation where I said to my eighth grade best friend, hey, we're not going to be best friends anymore because we're going to different schools. It just sort of happens that way. So how do we allow things to fizzle out without feeling like we have to keep this constant connection with people?
