I want to talk about the different variations of relationships and a lot of the sort of myths that keep us held in the sort of modern idea of what a relationship looks like. Okay. But you said something there which sparked a thought that I had read in your book when you said, till death do us part. Yes. I read about this study that says that

Cancer research on heterosexual couples found that if a man becomes terminally ill and his wife becomes the caretaker, there is a 2.9% separation rate. If the woman is terminally ill and their male partner becomes the caretaker, they leave at a 21% rate, which basically means that men are approximately 624% more likely to separate from a woman if the woman gets sick.

And that was on page 48 of your new book, Keep Love. What the fuck is going on there?

That is alarming, shocking. And it was so alarming and shocking, I had to include the study in the book. For me, and I wrote this in the chapter around love is conditional. And we have to understand that the myth that presents itself is that love is unconditional. If you find the right person, there's no conditions. That could be true with your children, right?

Your child could go do something heinous, and I believe there could or would still be love for them. But that's not the case with our partners. And for us to be aware that there are conditions when we go into these relationships, that's the most important. So it's almost a warning sign in particular to women in that chapter to say there are conditions.

And unfortunately, when people have gone through and interviewed these men who have left their the women on their deathbed, and even the women, because it's 2.9% of women leave men, even the women who've left the men, what they will say is that they're no longer getting fill in the blank. They're no longer getting the emotional intimacy. They're no longer getting the physical intimacy.

They're no longer getting the, you know, you fill in the blank. And as a result of no longer getting this thing, and the thing is the condition,

They're no longer getting the, you know, you fill in the blank. And as a result of no longer getting this thing, and the thing is the condition,

They're out. So why men, though? They're over 600% more likely to leave a terminally ill partner than women are.

Yeah. You know, there's a disproportionate amount of the relationship that's placed on the physical side of the relationship, right? Sex. Sex. Yeah.
