And what do you mean by the abstinence side of things?

I guess looking back, you know, because a lot of that moment was about you telling Jorge that you were celibate.

and just hoping that you would get, obviously, as you would hope, like, I want to respect that, I want to support that.

And it didn't seem like, again, Jorge, you really understood what she meant by celibate, or maybe you had some of your own assumptions, and that seemed to lead to some communication problems.

I'm curious to know, obviously, in today's culture, hookup culture is pretty prevalent.

It obviously, as you expressed, has been a challenge for you dating.

Has your relationship with Jorge and how things unfolded, has it given you a different perspective of how you communicate your celibacy going forward?

What about that?

Because we had an opportunity to talk with you prior to now.

And I think, you know, it's an interesting conversation, right?

Because on one end, I think as guys, you know, we want to protect our ladies.

We want to, you know, be there for them.

I feel like my wife expects that of me as well.

But there are also situations where it's like,

You know, you use the phrase, I wanted to diffuse the situation.

And then the kind of the question is, you know, how do you go about diffusing the situation?

When we talked to you before, you suggested that when the things first happened, and I don't want to put words in your mouth, so correct me if I'm wrong, that you felt like Jorge could have done something different to diffuse the situation.

And in fact, you almost felt like he escalated it to a point.

Can you elaborate on that?

I am curious, just opening it up to the group, I imagine this is a fairly relatable topic for both men and women in relationships.
