19.471 - 25.581 Brooke

I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?

32.273 - 40.247 Brooke

The modern dating world has so many different levels of relationships that you can be in, and it really depends on what you want.

40.396 - 42.58 Jose

You're actually right. There's like categories now.

42.6 - 44.162 Unknown

Something for everybody out there.

44.182 - 65.138 Brooke

It's kind of nice because there's, you know, a casual companionship where you hang out, but it's not romantic. A situationship where it's romantic, but it's not committed. A monogamish where it's committed, but not serious. I haven't heard that one. What word would you describe your situation, Brooke?

65.675 - 68.219 Unknown

Mine's just marriage.

Chapter 2: What complexities exist in modern dating?

93.054 - 103.473 Brooke

She's asked for our help. You're going to hear it right after this. How many times on this show have listeners asked us to help them break up with their significant others?

0

103.814 - 104.875 Unknown

Oh, no.

0

105.176 - 113.149 Brooke

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. That's why we created an entire segment called Brooke Breaks You Up.

0

113.169 - 115.733 Unknown

Yes! I am not in the headspace for this today, Jeff.

0

116.414 - 118.057 Brooke

Well, here's the good news, Brooke.

118.137 - 118.457 Unknown

Yeah?

118.718 - 120.04 Brooke

You don't have to do that today.

120.24 - 120.521 Unknown

Oh, good.

Chapter 3: What types of relationships are common today?

120.541 - 120.741 Unknown

Oh, good.

0

120.721 - 124.426 Brooke

Because this couple has already had the breakup talk.

0

124.446 - 125.608 Unknown

Oh, good.

0

125.628 - 130.696 Brooke

And I guess the issue is, the problem is the breakup isn't happening fast enough.

0

130.996 - 134.201 Unknown

What? Does the breakup happen right after the talk?

134.261 - 142.493 Brooke

That's what I think this listener is saying in her email. But before I confuse my co-host any further, let's just talk to Maria about it. Maria, welcome to the show.

142.642 - 149.833 Unknown

Hey, how are you guys? You sound chipper for a lady who may or may not be in a relationship. That was very vague.

149.853 - 157.646 Brooke

We've officially confused everybody in the room, Maria. So what's the situation that you're in with this guy that you're dating or not dating? What's going on?

158.727 - 165.859 Maria

Okay. So I started dating this guy like six months ago. His name is James. James.

Chapter 4: How can you help someone navigate a breakup?

195.386 - 199.19 Unknown

It has nothing to do with who he is as a person. It's just not clicking.

0

199.21 - 201.051 Jose

And it kind of hurts, but at least you're being honest.

0

201.252 - 204.375 Brooke

Have you been honest with him that he's not husband material for you?

0

205.095 - 210.1 Unknown

We don't need to say it that way. I hope you're not doing the breakup call.

0

210.26 - 212.322 Brooke

How honest are we being with James?

212.555 - 227.061 Maria

I mean, a couple months into us dating, I could kind of tell that he was more into me than I was into him. And so I basically told him like, hey, I'm having fun with you, but I just don't know if we should continue what's going on between the two of us.

227.242 - 229.025 Unknown

And so what was his response to that?

229.566 - 236.959 Maria

Honestly, he did it really well. He was kind of joking back like, well, if you want to break up with me, you can't do it until your mom's wedding because you already invited me.

237.698 - 242.567 Unknown

Okay, do you mind bringing him to your mom's wedding? Honestly, no.

Chapter 5: What is the listener's unique breakup situation?

396.864 - 399.449 Jose

Like there's a last date meal.

0

399.47 - 401.794 Brooke

Do you have anything planned like that special?

0

401.96 - 406.931 Maria

The plan for us was to kind of do breakfast together at the same diner where we first met.

0

407.131 - 416.411 Unknown

Oh, full circle. Oh, wow. You guys are like so poetic about this. I know, I feel like a text breakup might just be better at this point. So how do we start the conversation?

0

416.471 - 421.962 Brooke

Well, what if you be direct with him, but also unavailable? At the same time.

422.322 - 425.125 Unknown

That sounds passive and aggressive. How do you do that?

425.145 - 433.292 Brooke

Yes, that's the perfect sweet spot that we're going for. So if I'm you, I want to put it in their court and let them make the final decision on how to proceed.

433.412 - 440.258 Unknown

Which is so Jeffrey. Nobody even understands. Jeffrey hates making a decision. My life has worked out pretty good.

440.378 - 464.333 Brooke

I would say, listen, I'm so, so sorry, but my plans have changed and I have a conflict on that day. And I'm not going to be able to make our breakfast sad emoji. That way, you are owning, like, it's my fault, but that day doesn't work. And then you see what he wants to do with it. He likes you so much, I'm scared he's going to push it a year out.

Chapter 6: How does Maria plan to handle her breakup date?

564.861 - 571.851 Maria

Okay, I sent it. And I put at the end, I can't make our planned breakup breakfast. Oh, you did say that. And I put the sad emoji. Okay. There you go.

0

572.052 - 575.517 Unknown

It's like, are you sad because of the breakup? Or are you sad because you can't make it?

0

575.677 - 580.284 Brooke

Well, whatever happens, it's on you 100%. I take no responsibility.

0

580.344 - 581.125 Unknown

Yeah.

0

581.105 - 592.291 Brooke

And when we come back, we will see if your soon-to-be ex-boyfriend has responded as we continue Textual Healing Breakfast Breakup Edition. And it's coming up right after this.

592.331 - 594.135 Unknown

Good music choice. Oh, yeah.

596.073 - 608.565 Brooke

We're in the middle of textual healing with our listener, Maria, who's been dating a guy for almost six months now and realized just a little while in that this isn't going to be forever. Yeah.

608.945 - 610.367 Unknown

Which is okay. It doesn't mean it's bad.

610.907 - 611.087 Brooke

Yeah.

Chapter 7: What unexpected turn occurs during the wedding?

0

750.085 - 753.969 Maria

That's true. It just sucks because he's being super charming and I hate it.

0

753.989 - 762.597 Unknown

You know? I mean, breakups are easier if one person is just bad guy. Yeah. Absolutely. You can't be indecisive now. Yeah.

0

762.698 - 767.222 Brooke

Because from his text, it sounds like he's cool with it. It's over.

0

767.202 - 770.007 Jose

Yeah. Yeah. This is like the best case scenario. Right.

770.662 - 776.028 Maria

Well, that's the thing is like it should be over in a few days, but like it shouldn't be over like right now. Oh, no.

776.168 - 780.674 Brooke

Wait, are you saying now that you feel like maybe you like him and you don't really want it to end?

780.974 - 782.276 Jose

Feels like that a little.

782.296 - 788.283 Maria

No, like for me and him, I just I just need to confirm that it's done officially. You know what I mean?
