Paul C. Brunson

He's probably watching.

I think he watched some of my other appearances where I've mentioned his case.

And I hope he knows that, you know, I'm still here.

Yes.

I'm still here.

And if he comes back and he tries to push it again, I'll be here.

So the answer that most people want when they ask me that question is,

is, is there a singular or are there identifiable things that you see in the terminal stage of a marriage?

So the obvious and accurate answer is there's cheating is usually a massive, like they're almost, I would say a good 85% of divorces, there's some element of cheating in the situation.

Or financial impropriety.

Those are very real things, but I don't see those as the cause.

I see those as the symptom of the underlying illness.

The underlying illness is disconnection.

The underlying illness is that these, because happy people don't cheat on each other.

Satisfied people don't cheat on each other.

Infidelity is involved in the equation somehow.

Either or both people have cheated.

And again, how you define cheating is very subjective.

So it's a question of like, is emotional infidelity infidelity or as purely as it's sexual, like for the purposes of divorce in fault-based states, adultery was defined as like, you know, genital contact essentially.

Okay.
