So we like to say like, everything's going to work out great.

But if you are forced with this question to say like, imagine a year from now, we decide we, you know, we, the romantic relationship isn't for us.

What are the, you know, the three most likely reasons, you know, what are the things that might lead to this not working out?

And then you could potentially address them ahead of time to prevent them.

And then in addition to that, it's like, okay, if it doesn't work out,

And we can't, you know, we can't do anything to prevent it.

Like, what do we want our relationship to look like?

And it doesn't, you know, you might feel very differently on the other side of it.

But I just, I think particularly in heterosexual relationships, romantic relationships, there's this very, you know, strict idea that you're not supposed to be friends with your exes.

So to enter a romantic relationship feels like you're really, really risking something.

And I think, you know, in the queer community, there's just much...

It's much more common because because you can't hate all your exes because you're going to run into them like at, you know, your friend's party.

So I think also taking a bit of a cue from the queer community and how this kind of toggling between romance and friendship actually is really OK and possible.

It's been so nice to talk to you.

And yeah, I really just appreciate all the care that you and the people behind the scenes have put into the questions here.
