He and his girlfriend had been together for five years.

And the conversation was, hey, man, you need to take a crap or get off the toilet.

Either you can leave this girl and be done with her and let her move on, or you can marry her and do the right thing.

And his response was, I'm not invested in this relationship.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

But I also don't want to miss out if something better comes along.

And I told him, I was like, look, man, you're just going to get in this relate.

You're going to either try to jump out of this relationship way too quick or you're going to end up cheating.

And they ended up breaking up about six months ago.

So he followed my advice.

But I mean, there was a pit in my stomach after that conversation for the longest time.

I should have, when I was talking with a therapist, she said, you need to, when people show you who they are, you need to listen.

There you go.

I've got some friends who are very much sticking by me through this, and I've got some others who have not even been able to go to dinner with.

Yeah, I just always I've been in high school.

I was in multiple relationships where someone ended up cheating on me.

And so I just assumed some of the feelings and red flags I felt popping up in my heart and my mind were just anxiety.

And I just dismissed them.

It definitely feels like the latter right now.

Yeah.
