Red Flags & Green Flags in the Swinging Lifestyle
You already know Adam and Pris don't do small talk — so when the topic of red flags and green flags in the swinging lifestyle came up on their SDC live webinar, they knew they weren't done talking about it. So they brought it straight to Wednesday's QUICKIE. And oh boy, did it get real.
This week, Adam and Pris break down the biggest red flags they personally watch for when meeting potential play partners — and the green flags that make them say, okay, we might actually like you.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Pris's Red Flags for Men: Turn the conversation sexual too fast? You're out. It doesn't matter that you're both in the lifestyle — read the room. If you haven't earned the vibe yet, keep it in your pants (literally).
Pris's Red Flags for Women: If you're in a group chat with both of them and you start sliding into Adam's DMs and leaving Pris on read? She sees you. And she is not interested. Respecting both partners isn't optional — it's the price of admission.
Adam's Biggest Red Flag: Pushiness. That frantic "WE NEED TO MEET ASAP" energy from the jump? Hard pass. Adam used to be that guy (Pris was NOT about to let him forget it), but 14 years in the lifestyle later, he's all about connections over conquests — and zero patience for people trying to sprint to the finish line.
Also a red flag: Messaging a husband and asking to see naked pictures of his wife. Adam addresses this one with the kind of calm, measured, diplomatic response you'd expect from him... just kidding. He tells those people exactly where to go.
The Guilt Trip Red Flag: "You didn't message me yesterday." Oh no. Adam's phone goes to Do Not Disturb at 8:30 PM every night — and if you're sending guilt trips about response times to a happily married man with a full life, you're going to hear about it. Loudly.
Green Flags They Love: Great communication between couples. Asking permission before reaching out to a partner. Being transparent about your intentions. And self-awareness — knowing your own stuff and actively working on it? That's genuinely attractive to these two.
They also get into jealousy, entitlement, pressure dynamics between couples, what it looks like when one partner is dragging the other into the lifestyle, and the very important art of taking a "no" gracefully — something Adam admits he had to grow into.
Pris crowns herself "La Toxica" early on and fully leans into it. She's self-aware about her jealousy, territorial streak, and high standards — and honestly? It's one of the most relatable things she's ever said on this show.
As always, this one's real, funny, unfiltered, and full of the kind of straight talk that only comes from two people who've been doing this together for 14 years.

00:00:07,184 --> 00:00:10,664
Alright y'all, before we
dive in, a quick heads up.
2
00:00:11,164 --> 00:00:14,134
This show is raw, real, and
definitely not rated pg.
3
00:00:14,944 --> 00:00:19,684
We're talking about adult themes, sexual
content, and the kind of stuff you
4
00:00:19,684 --> 00:00:24,034
probably don't want blasting through your
speakers at work or around your kits.
5
00:00:24,634 --> 00:00:28,504
So grab some headphones, pour your
drink of choice and get comfy.
6
00:00:28,804 --> 00:00:35,014
Oh, and just so we're clear, we are not
licensed therapists, counselors, or sex.
7
00:00:35,434 --> 00:00:36,244
Couches.
8
00:00:36,904 --> 00:00:38,164
Sex coaches.
9
00:00:38,374 --> 00:00:39,244
Sex coaches,
10
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:40,384
not sex couches
11
00:00:40,884 --> 00:00:45,144
or just a couple of people sharing our
lives, experiences and sexy adventures.
12
00:00:45,234 --> 00:00:47,124
An ethical non-monogamy.
13
00:00:47,394 --> 00:00:51,644
So with that, pull up a
chair and enjoy the show.
14
00:00:51,644 --> 00:00:51,734
And.
15
00:00:52,234 --> 00:00:55,024
Hello, and welcome to another
episode of Beyond Monogamy.
16
00:00:55,234 --> 00:00:55,654
I'm Adam.
17
00:00:55,984 --> 00:00:56,734
And I'm Pris.
18
00:00:56,944 --> 00:00:58,804
Also known as La Toxica.
19
00:00:58,984 --> 00:00:59,524
I'm just kidding.
20
00:00:59,614 --> 00:01:04,474
The only reason I say that is because
we just recently had a conversation on
21
00:01:04,474 --> 00:01:08,584
SDC on our live webinar about red flags
and green flags, and so we decided to
22
00:01:09,034 --> 00:01:11,494
carry it on to Wednesday's quickie.
23
00:01:11,674 --> 00:01:12,214
That's right.
24
00:01:12,214 --> 00:01:12,724
That's right.
25
00:01:12,814 --> 00:01:16,684
So if you missed the SDC
webinar that we just did.
26
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:19,099
Sit down, relax.
27
00:01:19,219 --> 00:01:21,079
Buckle your seatbelt, because
we're gonna get into this.
28
00:01:21,199 --> 00:01:21,319
We do.
29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,379
Yeah.
30
00:01:21,829 --> 00:01:23,839
And yeah, it was interesting.
31
00:01:23,839 --> 00:01:24,529
It was interesting.
32
00:01:24,529 --> 00:01:25,279
It was a lot of fun.
33
00:01:25,279 --> 00:01:27,919
I, I have to kick us off a quick question.
34
00:01:27,919 --> 00:01:27,949
Okay.
35
00:01:27,949 --> 00:01:30,079
And I know I asked it in there,
and I'm gonna, I'm gonna get into
36
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:35,559
it again because you, my dear are,
are for lack of a better word Hmm.
37
00:01:35,559 --> 00:01:35,769
Aldi,
38
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:36,789
I'm very maldi.
39
00:01:37,269 --> 00:01:37,989
Just a tad.
40
00:01:38,049 --> 00:01:38,139
Yes.
41
00:01:38,139 --> 00:01:38,314
Just a tiny,
42
00:01:38,379 --> 00:01:39,489
uh, you're very opinionated.
43
00:01:39,489 --> 00:01:39,909
I love it.
44
00:01:39,969 --> 00:01:40,089
Yes.
45
00:01:40,089 --> 00:01:41,199
I love you for it.
46
00:01:41,829 --> 00:01:41,919
Yes.
47
00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:44,109
Uh, but I would like to know
48
00:01:44,709 --> 00:01:50,469
Red flags as far as men and as far
as women, you're a bisexual woman.
49
00:01:50,679 --> 00:01:53,019
So you're interested in both
men and women, although you're
50
00:01:53,019 --> 00:01:54,129
more interested in women.
51
00:01:54,249 --> 00:01:54,489
Yes.
52
00:01:54,489 --> 00:01:54,499
Right?
53
00:01:54,499 --> 00:01:54,624
Yes.
54
00:01:54,969 --> 00:02:00,539
What are your glaring red flags
when it comes to pursuits of
55
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:00,959
men
56
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:01,319
and women?
57
00:02:01,649 --> 00:02:05,489
Um, I think for men, it's when you
have a conversation with me and we're
58
00:02:05,489 --> 00:02:08,639
cool and we're just being really
friendly for maybe like the first day.
59
00:02:09,554 --> 00:02:12,044
We're just, you know,
messaging, just bullshit.
60
00:02:12,494 --> 00:02:15,044
But then the next day or
whenever, you just make it sexual
61
00:02:15,044 --> 00:02:16,694
super fast, red flag for me.
62
00:02:16,694 --> 00:02:18,044
Yeah, I don't want
anything to do with you.
63
00:02:18,544 --> 00:02:19,594
You're never gonna get in these pants.
64
00:02:20,094 --> 00:02:22,584
Now for women, it's if.
65
00:02:23,084 --> 00:02:27,674
If we've had conversations already
and say it's a woman in a group text,
66
00:02:27,674 --> 00:02:30,884
or maybe just say it's a single woman
and she's just talking, but she no
67
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:33,944
longer is talking to me and she's
more having a conversation with you.
68
00:02:33,949 --> 00:02:34,159
Mm-hmm.
69
00:02:34,394 --> 00:02:35,834
And just kind of leaves me out.
70
00:02:35,834 --> 00:02:41,144
Like say we have a group text and
they, she answers you and never
71
00:02:41,144 --> 00:02:42,254
comes back to the group text.
72
00:02:42,254 --> 00:02:43,544
But I know she's already texted you.
73
00:02:43,549 --> 00:02:43,799
Yeah.
74
00:02:44,029 --> 00:02:44,959
Like, maybe not about that.
75
00:02:45,674 --> 00:02:47,474
It's like, nah, there you go.
76
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:47,729
Yeah.
77
00:02:47,894 --> 00:02:48,074
Yeah.
78
00:02:48,074 --> 00:02:48,764
I've lost interest.
79
00:02:48,764 --> 00:02:51,044
That's a red flag for me because I
feel like you're not respecting my
80
00:02:51,044 --> 00:02:53,234
boundaries or you think I'm a nobody.
81
00:02:53,414 --> 00:02:53,744
Yeah.
82
00:02:53,869 --> 00:02:54,809
And no.
83
00:02:55,079 --> 00:02:55,379
Yeah, no,
84
00:02:55,864 --> 00:02:56,884
I am a somebody.
85
00:02:56,884 --> 00:02:58,204
We, we have had that.
86
00:02:58,234 --> 00:02:59,074
Yeah, we have
87
00:02:59,164 --> 00:02:59,464
come up before.
88
00:02:59,464 --> 00:02:59,584
Um,
89
00:02:59,884 --> 00:03:00,604
now do me a favor.
90
00:03:00,604 --> 00:03:02,014
Repeat that first one right quick.
91
00:03:02,014 --> 00:03:03,064
Just remind me what the
92
00:03:03,064 --> 00:03:04,054
first one is.
93
00:03:04,054 --> 00:03:07,204
When men have conversations
with me when they're regular
94
00:03:07,204 --> 00:03:09,459
and, and they send a, a dick
pic or they turn it sexual, or
95
00:03:09,459 --> 00:03:10,504
they just turn it sexual.
96
00:03:10,504 --> 00:03:13,544
Now it, that does not
apply to women though.
97
00:03:14,044 --> 00:03:17,794
So if you're talking to a woman
and say she sends you a nude real
98
00:03:17,794 --> 00:03:20,284
fast, is that a red flag to you?
99
00:03:20,854 --> 00:03:21,214
No.
100
00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:22,924
But if a man does it, it's
101
00:03:22,984 --> 00:03:23,194
yes.
102
00:03:23,694 --> 00:03:23,994
Okay.
103
00:03:24,654 --> 00:03:24,984
Okay.
104
00:03:25,464 --> 00:03:26,214
Now, if
105
00:03:26,214 --> 00:03:27,414
different standards for different
106
00:03:27,414 --> 00:03:30,164
gender, if a turns its sexual right away,
107
00:03:30,464 --> 00:03:30,494
Uhhuh,
108
00:03:30,494 --> 00:03:31,244
that's a red flag.
109
00:03:31,424 --> 00:03:31,724
Yes.
110
00:03:32,234 --> 00:03:34,724
But if a woman turns it sexual right away
111
00:03:34,994 --> 00:03:36,164
because I'm all down for it.
112
00:03:36,254 --> 00:03:36,494
No
113
00:03:36,704 --> 00:03:37,274
really.
114
00:03:37,774 --> 00:03:38,204
Double standards
115
00:03:38,954 --> 00:03:39,074
a
116
00:03:39,164 --> 00:03:40,634
thing, double standards, they are a thing.
117
00:03:40,814 --> 00:03:41,034
Um,
118
00:03:41,424 --> 00:03:41,914
they're
119
00:03:41,954 --> 00:03:42,354
a thing.
120
00:03:42,359 --> 00:03:44,229
I, it's very hard for me.
121
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:46,269
I feel like the men in the
lifestyle just want one thing.
122
00:03:46,569 --> 00:03:47,689
You just wanna have sex, which is great.
123
00:03:47,744 --> 00:03:48,314
Well, isn't that what
124
00:03:48,314 --> 00:03:48,674
we're all here
125
00:03:48,674 --> 00:03:48,794
for?
126
00:03:48,974 --> 00:03:49,194
Yes.
127
00:03:49,299 --> 00:03:49,779
Great.
128
00:03:50,109 --> 00:03:51,009
Perfect.
129
00:03:51,014 --> 00:03:51,249
I, I
130
00:03:51,249 --> 00:03:51,999
thought that's what you wanted.
131
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:52,809
It is
132
00:03:53,049 --> 00:03:53,079
Uhhuh,
133
00:03:53,529 --> 00:03:54,729
but I don't always want it with men.
134
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:55,929
Fair.
135
00:03:56,019 --> 00:03:57,099
I'm in this lifestyle.
136
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:58,319
For women.
137
00:03:58,619 --> 00:03:58,799
That's
138
00:03:58,799 --> 00:03:58,919
right.
139
00:03:58,919 --> 00:03:59,129
Yes.
140
00:03:59,129 --> 00:03:59,999
I play with men.
141
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:03,509
It's very hard to be a person,
a man that I play with.
142
00:04:03,899 --> 00:04:06,149
It's not easy because
143
00:04:06,264 --> 00:04:07,564
you gotta jump through some hoops.
144
00:04:07,679 --> 00:04:08,249
You do.
145
00:04:08,589 --> 00:04:12,669
And also, I'm gonna also be
very straight up for women.
146
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:14,949
You have to jump through hoops also.
147
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:17,649
Like I wanna, I'm gonna
verify that you are a person.
148
00:04:17,649 --> 00:04:21,219
I know a person I've talked
to before or have met.
149
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,539
If I have never have, and you
turn it sexual, you're out.
150
00:04:24,039 --> 00:04:25,454
So it is double
151
00:04:25,574 --> 00:04:25,614
standard.
152
00:04:25,614 --> 00:04:28,659
And you know, realistically, a lot of
women, I mean, you have that power, you
153
00:04:28,659 --> 00:04:31,359
have that power to operate that way,
and there's a lot of women who don't
154
00:04:31,359 --> 00:04:32,829
realize that they have that power.
155
00:04:32,949 --> 00:04:33,129
Yeah.
156
00:04:33,159 --> 00:04:35,529
But this is women centric guys.
157
00:04:35,979 --> 00:04:38,349
Like you, women can make your rules.
158
00:04:38,349 --> 00:04:41,079
You have the ability to say
what you want and don't want,
159
00:04:41,129 --> 00:04:43,479
and hey, power to you do it.
160
00:04:43,979 --> 00:04:44,159
It's
161
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:44,669
hot.
162
00:04:44,939 --> 00:04:45,239
Yeah.
163
00:04:45,509 --> 00:04:48,839
I mean, it is, it's different,
it's different rules or boundaries
164
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,339
that I put for women and men.
165
00:04:50,339 --> 00:04:50,579
So,
166
00:04:50,819 --> 00:04:55,779
you know, I have, I have red
flags for men and women, uh,
167
00:04:55,779 --> 00:04:57,309
even though I'm, I'm straight.
168
00:04:57,369 --> 00:04:57,459
Mm-hmm.
169
00:04:57,789 --> 00:05:01,779
Uh, obviously I'm not dating a man or
I'm not doing anything sexual with a man.
170
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,429
I do have red flags.
171
00:05:04,059 --> 00:05:08,439
The biggest one for me is
pushiness all day or day.
172
00:05:08,939 --> 00:05:14,069
When you meet somebody and you know
right away by the second conversation or
173
00:05:14,069 --> 00:05:19,499
sometimes the first conversation, there
is this sense of urgency I've gotta get.
174
00:05:19,669 --> 00:05:23,839
I've gotta meet you guys, or I've gotta
talk to your wife, or I've gotta do this.
175
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:23,849
Mm-hmm.
176
00:05:23,894 --> 00:05:24,414
Or I gotta do that.
177
00:05:24,419 --> 00:05:24,439
Mm-hmm.
178
00:05:24,709 --> 00:05:26,089
We've gotta set up a play date.
179
00:05:26,389 --> 00:05:27,199
That's a red flag for
180
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:27,529
you.
181
00:05:27,529 --> 00:05:28,009
Yeah.
182
00:05:28,009 --> 00:05:29,239
Hold your horses there, man.
183
00:05:29,449 --> 00:05:32,689
Yeah, because I'm, I'm very
laid back and we're booked out,
184
00:05:32,689 --> 00:05:33,589
frankly, like by two months.
185
00:05:33,589 --> 00:05:33,709
What's
186
00:05:34,374 --> 00:05:36,139
funny is, did you know
you used to be like that?
187
00:05:36,379 --> 00:05:37,309
So you've said
188
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:37,879
Yeah,
189
00:05:37,939 --> 00:05:38,599
you've said that
190
00:05:38,599 --> 00:05:40,129
you used to wanna like, really?
191
00:05:40,129 --> 00:05:40,219
And
192
00:05:40,789 --> 00:05:43,939
you know what my, and that's why
I can understand this thinking
193
00:05:44,209 --> 00:05:46,129
because I used to think that way.
194
00:05:46,129 --> 00:05:46,189
Yeah.
195
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:49,459
My thought was, if I don't
meet them right away.
196
00:05:50,064 --> 00:05:52,134
I'm never gonna have an opportunity.
197
00:05:52,139 --> 00:05:52,199
Yeah,
198
00:05:52,204 --> 00:05:52,404
yeah.
199
00:05:52,434 --> 00:05:52,764
Right.
200
00:05:53,664 --> 00:05:58,254
As time has come through, I've
realized, look, I'm not going anywhere.
201
00:05:58,284 --> 00:05:59,814
These people are not going anywhere.
202
00:05:59,844 --> 00:05:59,904
Yeah.
203
00:05:59,994 --> 00:06:02,544
And if they do go somewhere,
then it was not meant to be.
204
00:06:02,544 --> 00:06:02,604
Yeah.
205
00:06:02,709 --> 00:06:05,429
Um, I was very I wanted my experiences.
206
00:06:05,929 --> 00:06:07,999
I didn't care about making connections.
207
00:06:08,299 --> 00:06:12,289
Mm. And now I'm all about connections,
whether we have sex or not.
208
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:12,499
Yeah.
209
00:06:12,499 --> 00:06:15,919
I, I haven't already had my experiences,
guys, if you've listened to the podcast,
210
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:17,359
you know, I've had my experiences.
211
00:06:17,819 --> 00:06:19,649
And so that's not my pursuit anymore.
212
00:06:19,649 --> 00:06:19,739
Mm-hmm.
213
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:21,359
My pursuit is connections.
214
00:06:21,359 --> 00:06:21,569
Yeah.
215
00:06:22,019 --> 00:06:25,789
Uh, and I think that's, that's
really, it's an understandable red
216
00:06:25,789 --> 00:06:27,739
flag, but a red flag nonetheless.
217
00:06:28,239 --> 00:06:31,509
Getting pushy to, to get
to meet this and that.
218
00:06:31,564 --> 00:06:36,134
Sometimes you'll run into guys as
a husband, you'll get messaged Hey,
219
00:06:36,134 --> 00:06:39,044
you know, can I, can I at least
see pictures of your wife naked?
220
00:06:39,124 --> 00:06:39,424
What?
221
00:06:39,934 --> 00:06:40,354
Do you know that
222
00:06:40,354 --> 00:06:46,084
not only, not only is that not, uh,
not only is that pushy, but that's.
223
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:47,719
Disrespectful.
224
00:06:47,779 --> 00:06:47,899
Mm-hmm.
225
00:06:48,179 --> 00:06:48,749
Fuck off.
226
00:06:48,899 --> 00:06:52,799
You gotta understand my wife
is my most treasured thing to
227
00:06:52,799 --> 00:06:54,779
me outside of my own children.
228
00:06:55,259 --> 00:07:00,659
And if I'm going to share her with
anybody, yes, she's independent on her
229
00:07:00,659 --> 00:07:03,089
own, but I'm gonna share her with anybody.
230
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:07,739
I have to approve of the
kind of person you are.
231
00:07:08,009 --> 00:07:10,469
I have to know who you are.
232
00:07:10,474 --> 00:07:10,584
Mm-hmm.
233
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:11,579
How you operate.
234
00:07:11,579 --> 00:07:16,049
Because if you're not going to treat my
wife with the respect that I treat my
235
00:07:16,049 --> 00:07:18,149
wife with, then you can fuck right off.
236
00:07:18,229 --> 00:07:20,539
I mean, that's the, the
matter of fact about it.
237
00:07:20,539 --> 00:07:21,079
Period.
238
00:07:21,229 --> 00:07:21,919
Period.
239
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:22,879
End of sentence.
240
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:23,749
New chapter.
241
00:07:23,929 --> 00:07:24,439
Yes.
242
00:07:24,619 --> 00:07:24,919
Oh,
243
00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:25,099
thank you.
244
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:26,199
It's true.
245
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:26,764
I love you.
246
00:07:26,769 --> 00:07:27,309
It's true.
247
00:07:27,309 --> 00:07:30,849
And you know, I know a lot
of guys who operate that way.
248
00:07:30,849 --> 00:07:31,689
Sadly enough.
249
00:07:31,689 --> 00:07:33,159
I know a lot of guys who do not
250
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:33,849
Yeah.
251
00:07:33,849 --> 00:07:34,749
Operate that way.
252
00:07:34,779 --> 00:07:34,989
Yeah.
253
00:07:34,989 --> 00:07:36,249
And hey, you know, it is what it is.
254
00:07:36,249 --> 00:07:37,029
That's your lane.
255
00:07:37,089 --> 00:07:37,599
Whatever you
256
00:07:37,604 --> 00:07:38,169
want, you stay in it.
257
00:07:38,169 --> 00:07:38,619
That's cool.
258
00:07:38,754 --> 00:07:39,044
Yeah.
259
00:07:39,049 --> 00:07:39,279
Yeah.
260
00:07:39,409 --> 00:07:42,949
But don't expect to play with
my wife, that's all I'm saying.
261
00:07:42,979 --> 00:07:43,069
Yeah.
262
00:07:43,069 --> 00:07:44,809
You know, it's, it's
just not gonna happen.
263
00:07:45,109 --> 00:07:49,599
And there's very few times that I step
in when my wife is showing interest
264
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:52,959
in this, primarily because she's
pickier than I would be for her.
265
00:07:53,459 --> 00:07:56,519
So I know that if she's
interested in somebody, chances
266
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:58,079
are her intuition is good.
267
00:07:58,189 --> 00:08:04,219
But even still how you operate
with me, uh, in front of me.
268
00:08:04,224 --> 00:08:04,344
Mm-hmm.
269
00:08:04,429 --> 00:08:09,169
If I don't see the respect coming through,
if you can't acknowledge me, if you can't
270
00:08:09,169 --> 00:08:11,779
talk to me then it's not gonna happen.
271
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:12,019
Yeah.
272
00:08:12,109 --> 00:08:13,789
And I don't even have to say anything.
273
00:08:13,789 --> 00:08:16,459
If you don't acknowledge me,
if you don't talk to me, she's
274
00:08:16,459 --> 00:08:17,929
gonna notice before I do.
275
00:08:18,349 --> 00:08:19,879
And she's gonna lose interest.
276
00:08:20,059 --> 00:08:20,179
Mm-hmm.
277
00:08:20,419 --> 00:08:21,829
You know, that's just how that goes.
278
00:08:22,159 --> 00:08:22,339
Yeah.
279
00:08:22,339 --> 00:08:24,589
You know, uh, that's stuff
you gotta think about.
280
00:08:25,089 --> 00:08:25,239
It's,
281
00:08:25,659 --> 00:08:25,989
yeah,
282
00:08:26,229 --> 00:08:30,549
because, I mean, those are like the
major, I don't know, red, red flags.
283
00:08:30,549 --> 00:08:32,979
You just gotta make sure that
you understand and read the
284
00:08:32,979 --> 00:08:34,659
person that you're gonna talk to.
285
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:39,759
And if you come at me very sexually,
I'm missing to be like, yeah, no.
286
00:08:40,259 --> 00:08:40,499
Yeah,
287
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,249
I get it.
288
00:08:41,249 --> 00:08:43,289
I do get the he of.
289
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:45,259
Sexual Horny
290
00:08:45,259 --> 00:08:45,679
brain.
291
00:08:45,709 --> 00:08:46,789
Horny brain.
292
00:08:46,794 --> 00:08:47,829
Yeah, I get it.
293
00:08:48,364 --> 00:08:48,574
People
294
00:08:48,574 --> 00:08:48,784
lose
295
00:08:48,784 --> 00:08:49,534
control with brand.
296
00:08:50,164 --> 00:08:50,464
Yeah.
297
00:08:50,464 --> 00:08:55,054
And you've seen, you've probably seen
pictures of us in lingerie or me in
298
00:08:55,054 --> 00:08:58,384
lingerie, and the women that you're
pursuing lingerie, and you, you're
299
00:08:58,384 --> 00:08:59,344
in the li they're in the lifestyle.
300
00:08:59,374 --> 00:09:00,394
You think you're entitled.
301
00:09:00,404 --> 00:09:01,784
It's not, it's entitlement.
302
00:09:01,784 --> 00:09:04,034
That's the red flag I
feel for a lot of men.
303
00:09:04,634 --> 00:09:04,934
Uh, for
304
00:09:04,934 --> 00:09:05,294
men.
305
00:09:05,294 --> 00:09:07,514
And that's, uh, what we were
talking about the other day.
306
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:10,594
You had said, it's not that I hate men.
307
00:09:10,654 --> 00:09:11,614
I don't hate men.
308
00:09:11,614 --> 00:09:11,674
No.
309
00:09:11,674 --> 00:09:13,804
There's actually a lot
of men I, I do enjoy.
310
00:09:14,224 --> 00:09:17,104
It's the men who feel entitled.
311
00:09:17,254 --> 00:09:17,734
Entitled.
312
00:09:18,274 --> 00:09:20,974
And this can go on from your
regular life to your lifestyle.
313
00:09:21,454 --> 00:09:22,924
And actually, for me, it does.
314
00:09:22,984 --> 00:09:28,799
I do not like men who come off
entitled, it's not it don't go there.
315
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:29,939
I am my own person.
316
00:09:29,939 --> 00:09:30,779
I do my own thing.
317
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,279
I can say no anytime I want.
318
00:09:32,669 --> 00:09:34,859
I could not like you today
and maybe like you tomorrow.
319
00:09:34,859 --> 00:09:38,129
That's my prerogative,
not yours, but it is what?
320
00:09:38,129 --> 00:09:38,309
It's
321
00:09:38,309 --> 00:09:38,969
she's, she's a cat.
322
00:09:39,469 --> 00:09:40,519
It's a female cat.
323
00:09:41,019 --> 00:09:43,989
Ladies and gentlemen, she'll
love you one day and they'll
324
00:09:43,989 --> 00:09:46,269
she'll show you her butt the next
325
00:09:46,299 --> 00:09:49,629
Yes, she walks away and like for women
too, I mean, they're the same way.
326
00:09:49,629 --> 00:09:51,399
If you don't show me respect.
327
00:09:52,014 --> 00:09:54,324
And it's just me and you, not
even my husband's involved.
328
00:09:54,324 --> 00:09:57,314
If you just wanna show
me respect, then I'm out.
329
00:09:57,734 --> 00:10:00,154
And, you know, it's a simple
it, it really doesn't take much.
330
00:10:00,154 --> 00:10:00,904
It's simple.
331
00:10:00,904 --> 00:10:00,964
No.
332
00:10:00,964 --> 00:10:03,519
It's, uh, you know, a handshake.
333
00:10:03,549 --> 00:10:04,329
It's a hello.
334
00:10:04,334 --> 00:10:04,594
Mm-hmm.
335
00:10:04,694 --> 00:10:04,994
You know?
336
00:10:04,994 --> 00:10:05,004
Mm-hmm.
337
00:10:05,459 --> 00:10:05,759
Yeah.
338
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,049
You, I understand.
339
00:10:07,049 --> 00:10:08,939
You don't want to talk to
me, you want to talk to her.
340
00:10:08,969 --> 00:10:09,509
That's cool.
341
00:10:10,019 --> 00:10:13,079
But have the respect to
acknowledge that I'm here
342
00:10:13,199 --> 00:10:13,469
Yes.
343
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:14,814
And that I am.
344
00:10:15,314 --> 00:10:16,214
Attached to her.
345
00:10:16,244 --> 00:10:16,454
Yes.
346
00:10:16,884 --> 00:10:18,774
Because that's disrespectful.
347
00:10:18,774 --> 00:10:18,864
Mm-hmm.
348
00:10:19,164 --> 00:10:19,794
You know what I mean?
349
00:10:20,034 --> 00:10:23,214
Now as far as my gr my red flag for women.
350
00:10:23,454 --> 00:10:23,724
Yeah.
351
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:26,084
I, I really should have
thought about this.
352
00:10:26,444 --> 00:10:31,339
Uh, but as far as my red flag
for women I notice and you know,
353
00:10:31,339 --> 00:10:33,049
sometimes it's a, it's a neediness.
354
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:33,109
Yeah.
355
00:10:33,619 --> 00:10:35,689
There's a neediness that I will see.
356
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:36,439
Do you see it now?
357
00:10:36,619 --> 00:10:37,009
I do.
358
00:10:37,189 --> 00:10:37,369
No,
359
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:38,689
I do now.
360
00:10:39,049 --> 00:10:39,889
I didn't used to.
361
00:10:40,009 --> 00:10:41,029
Uh, I do now.
362
00:10:41,479 --> 00:10:45,019
Uh, and I think maybe because as
I get older, I value my time more.
363
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,499
I don't wanna waste my
time with just anybody.
364
00:10:48,369 --> 00:10:49,839
But yeah, I do see it.
365
00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:50,139
Excuse me.
366
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:51,269
Throat got dry.
367
00:10:51,769 --> 00:10:52,429
Yeah, I do.
368
00:10:52,429 --> 00:10:53,689
I do see it though.
369
00:10:53,719 --> 00:10:56,929
Uh, the neediness will
appear after a while.
370
00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:01,509
Uh, because we do what we do
and we're constantly talking to
371
00:11:01,509 --> 00:11:05,359
people and we're constantly we're
constantly on, I guess you could say.
372
00:11:05,359 --> 00:11:05,449
Right.
373
00:11:05,949 --> 00:11:09,609
The time that I have that I
don't have to be on, I value.
374
00:11:10,329 --> 00:11:10,389
I
375
00:11:10,484 --> 00:11:10,644
gotcha.
376
00:11:10,744 --> 00:11:14,679
Um, and so if I have
people that I'm talking to.
377
00:11:15,294 --> 00:11:17,334
They have to be genuine with me.
378
00:11:17,424 --> 00:11:17,454
Mm.
379
00:11:17,634 --> 00:11:19,344
So that I can be genuine with them.
380
00:11:19,349 --> 00:11:19,529
Mm-hmm.
381
00:11:19,854 --> 00:11:23,184
I don't want to feel like I have to be on.
382
00:11:23,189 --> 00:11:23,609
Mm-hmm.
383
00:11:23,904 --> 00:11:26,604
I don't want feel like I
have to be constantly on you
384
00:11:26,604 --> 00:11:27,594
wanna talk to me as a friend?
385
00:11:27,594 --> 00:11:27,984
Cool.
386
00:11:28,494 --> 00:11:28,764
But.
387
00:11:29,124 --> 00:11:31,074
Don't expect it every single day.
388
00:11:31,134 --> 00:11:34,324
You know, let me have,
take things at my own pace.
389
00:11:34,324 --> 00:11:34,384
Yeah.
390
00:11:34,624 --> 00:11:37,984
Don't expect me, you know, don't
guilt me into, Hey, you know
391
00:11:37,984 --> 00:11:39,244
you didn't message me yesterday.
392
00:11:39,304 --> 00:11:39,574
Yeah.
393
00:11:39,724 --> 00:11:40,954
Whoa.
394
00:11:40,954 --> 00:11:41,374
There.
395
00:11:41,374 --> 00:11:42,034
Say that chappy.
396
00:11:42,274 --> 00:11:42,784
Oh my god.
397
00:11:42,789 --> 00:11:45,499
And if I wouldn get his phone
and read that, I would be like,
398
00:11:46,459 --> 00:11:49,114
I would have to like reply to
that message and be like, nah,
399
00:11:49,999 --> 00:11:50,219
nah.
400
00:11:50,284 --> 00:11:51,154
Pump them brakes.
401
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:51,604
No.
402
00:11:51,604 --> 00:11:52,534
Pump their brakes girl.
403
00:11:52,624 --> 00:11:53,104
Them brakes.
404
00:11:53,164 --> 00:11:53,764
You kidding?
405
00:11:53,764 --> 00:11:54,484
Crazy.
406
00:11:54,984 --> 00:11:56,214
I don't wanna have your baby.
407
00:11:56,714 --> 00:12:00,134
So listen, that's, and it's come
up but it's happened before.
408
00:12:00,134 --> 00:12:01,244
It's happened before.
409
00:12:01,244 --> 00:12:01,889
It has happened before.
410
00:12:01,889 --> 00:12:02,089
It has
411
00:12:02,249 --> 00:12:02,329
happened
412
00:12:02,429 --> 00:12:02,849
before,
413
00:12:03,074 --> 00:12:03,374
yes.
414
00:12:03,374 --> 00:12:07,964
And lemme tell you, uh, when it
happens, boy, is it a conversation?
415
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:08,354
Yeah.
416
00:12:08,454 --> 00:12:09,564
Not a cool one either.
417
00:12:09,684 --> 00:12:09,984
No,
418
00:12:09,984 --> 00:12:10,644
not a cool one.
419
00:12:10,674 --> 00:12:10,794
Yeah.
420
00:12:10,794 --> 00:12:12,204
You never like to have those conversations
421
00:12:12,204 --> 00:12:12,354
before?
422
00:12:12,354 --> 00:12:13,344
No, I don't.
423
00:12:13,794 --> 00:12:16,524
So I'm a very positive, very happy person.
424
00:12:16,524 --> 00:12:19,584
I don't like to have these,
uh, uncomfortable conversations
425
00:12:19,584 --> 00:12:20,724
if I don't have to have them.
426
00:12:20,784 --> 00:12:22,464
I will if I have to.
427
00:12:22,524 --> 00:12:22,884
Yeah.
428
00:12:22,914 --> 00:12:26,694
But I normally like to see
how things kind of play out.
429
00:12:26,904 --> 00:12:32,464
I normally can see how things
play out but every so often there
430
00:12:32,464 --> 00:12:34,154
will be somebody who comes to the.
431
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:35,044
Yeah,
432
00:12:35,374 --> 00:12:36,454
and takes his swing.
433
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:38,374
Swings for the fences.
434
00:12:38,434 --> 00:12:38,584
Yeah.
435
00:12:38,584 --> 00:12:40,864
And, and really, you know, it's
like, hey, take it easy now.
436
00:12:41,554 --> 00:12:45,244
Uh, and you know, there's things
that I have that prevent this.
437
00:12:45,684 --> 00:12:49,584
My phone goes to do not
disturb at eight 30 at night.
438
00:12:49,734 --> 00:12:49,824
Mm-hmm.
439
00:12:50,064 --> 00:12:50,724
Automatically.
440
00:12:51,234 --> 00:12:54,774
So if you're texting me, if you're
messaging me after a certain point, sorry,
441
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,394
but I'm not gonna get those messages.
442
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:56,599
Mm-hmm.
443
00:12:56,819 --> 00:13:00,144
I'm paying attention to my wife, I'm
hanging out with my kids, whatever.
444
00:13:00,349 --> 00:13:00,709
You know,
445
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:02,929
um, your kids don't, our
kids don't like us anymore.
446
00:13:03,079 --> 00:13:04,549
It's just, we're just
hanging out together.
447
00:13:05,059 --> 00:13:09,499
The moment that I see any kind
of guilt trip for not messaging
448
00:13:09,499 --> 00:13:15,229
somebody back or messaging them
right away or whatever, yeah.
449
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:16,159
Anything like that,
450
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:16,219
yeah.
451
00:13:16,719 --> 00:13:19,159
I will have an instant,
uncomfortable feeling.
452
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:20,439
Feeling, and I will say.
453
00:13:20,939 --> 00:13:21,719
Red flag.
454
00:13:21,774 --> 00:13:23,244
I will literally tell myself that.
455
00:13:23,244 --> 00:13:24,294
I'll be like, red flag.
456
00:13:24,414 --> 00:13:24,534
Yeah.
457
00:13:24,534 --> 00:13:29,424
Because if I don't say it out loud,
I will internally justify it some
458
00:13:29,424 --> 00:13:31,374
way or another to overlook it.
459
00:13:31,614 --> 00:13:32,004
Right.
460
00:13:32,484 --> 00:13:34,944
And go, that wasn't
what you thought it was.
461
00:13:35,004 --> 00:13:35,304
Yeah.
462
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:38,834
But if I say it out loud and
I'm like, ah, it was in my
463
00:13:38,834 --> 00:13:40,424
face enough to say it out loud.
464
00:13:40,424 --> 00:13:41,174
Red flag.
465
00:13:41,204 --> 00:13:41,564
Right.
466
00:13:41,804 --> 00:13:42,434
I have it.
467
00:13:42,434 --> 00:13:43,124
I've seen it.
468
00:13:43,124 --> 00:13:44,264
I identified it.
469
00:13:44,764 --> 00:13:47,074
Do, where do I go with this now?
470
00:13:47,134 --> 00:13:47,314
Yeah.
471
00:13:47,314 --> 00:13:51,824
And, and then it's pretty much,
I gotta jokingly or humorously
472
00:13:52,154 --> 00:13:54,504
set a boundary with them
473
00:13:54,624 --> 00:13:59,154
In a nice way, uh, without
it getting too uncomfortable.
474
00:13:59,334 --> 00:13:59,604
Right.
475
00:13:59,814 --> 00:14:02,694
But basically put the message out there.
476
00:14:02,694 --> 00:14:02,934
Yeah.
477
00:14:02,934 --> 00:14:02,964
Uh,
478
00:14:03,624 --> 00:14:05,484
now some people don't take that message.
479
00:14:05,984 --> 00:14:06,884
You could put it nicely.
480
00:14:06,984 --> 00:14:07,884
Some people don't take it.
481
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:08,244
No.
482
00:14:08,724 --> 00:14:10,284
Some people, uh, get upset.
483
00:14:10,554 --> 00:14:11,124
Yes.
484
00:14:11,694 --> 00:14:13,674
In which case they make it very easy.
485
00:14:14,364 --> 00:14:14,664
Yeah.
486
00:14:15,504 --> 00:14:16,404
To walk away from that.
487
00:14:16,904 --> 00:14:17,954
But it does happen, you know.
488
00:14:18,099 --> 00:14:18,479
It does happen.
489
00:14:18,644 --> 00:14:19,304
Just happens.
490
00:14:19,309 --> 00:14:21,074
It's, it's a, it's a thing.
491
00:14:21,074 --> 00:14:21,344
That's the thing.
492
00:14:21,844 --> 00:14:25,089
Another red flag that we
talked about was pressure.
493
00:14:25,869 --> 00:14:26,349
Pressure.
494
00:14:26,349 --> 00:14:28,629
If the man is pressuring his wife.
495
00:14:28,989 --> 00:14:33,789
Or the woman is pressuring her husband to
be in the lifestyle or things like that.
496
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:38,049
And you can see it because we actually,
I wanna say that I saw it this weekend.
497
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:40,809
I saw a woman pressuring her
man to be in the lifestyle.
498
00:14:40,809 --> 00:14:41,559
They went to the club,
499
00:14:41,889 --> 00:14:42,249
is that right?
500
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:46,689
And she had already tried and she really
wanted to kind of be in the lifestyle.
501
00:14:47,169 --> 00:14:49,899
And so she took him,
but he wasn't into it.
502
00:14:49,929 --> 00:14:51,039
He wasn't liking it.
503
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:53,589
And so she was really.
504
00:14:54,429 --> 00:14:55,779
Putting on the pressure.
505
00:14:56,139 --> 00:14:59,049
And I thought that was so kind
of sad 'cause I was like, man,
506
00:14:59,049 --> 00:15:00,309
he's just not really into it.
507
00:15:00,829 --> 00:15:03,169
That's, that's the hard part.
508
00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:05,964
And I felt like that was us for.
509
00:15:06,464 --> 00:15:06,839
I don't know.
510
00:15:06,844 --> 00:15:07,064
Yeah.
511
00:15:07,069 --> 00:15:07,169
Yeah.
512
00:15:07,229 --> 00:15:08,879
The first few years.
513
00:15:09,119 --> 00:15:09,359
Yeah.
514
00:15:09,419 --> 00:15:12,269
You know, I was interested
in getting experiences.
515
00:15:12,269 --> 00:15:12,329
Yeah.
516
00:15:12,869 --> 00:15:15,629
And you just weren't
really that interested.
517
00:15:15,629 --> 00:15:15,749
I have.
518
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,309
As you were kind of on board.
519
00:15:17,369 --> 00:15:17,459
Yeah.
520
00:15:17,459 --> 00:15:18,449
But not really.
521
00:15:18,664 --> 00:15:19,584
I, I actually, that
522
00:15:19,584 --> 00:15:20,009
was a rough one.
523
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:23,669
I have some times where I'm just
not interested at all periods.
524
00:15:23,849 --> 00:15:23,969
Yeah.
525
00:15:24,689 --> 00:15:30,309
There's just I'm very in tune with my body
and my emotional status and my hormones
526
00:15:30,789 --> 00:15:34,059
that I'm just, if I'm not feeling it,
I'm gonna make it uncomfortable for him.
527
00:15:34,059 --> 00:15:34,929
So I just tell him like,
528
00:15:35,199 --> 00:15:35,649
that's true.
529
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:36,789
I'm not feeling it right now.
530
00:15:36,789 --> 00:15:40,989
Like, maybe it's my meds, maybe
something's just off balance,
531
00:15:40,989 --> 00:15:43,074
but I just need you right now.
532
00:15:43,074 --> 00:15:44,079
I need your time.
533
00:15:44,199 --> 00:15:45,759
I need, you know, some attention.
534
00:15:46,119 --> 00:15:46,419
Yeah.
535
00:15:46,419 --> 00:15:47,139
Or extra attention.
536
00:15:47,139 --> 00:15:50,339
And, you know, uh, I'm
not gonna lie, that can.
537
00:15:51,314 --> 00:15:54,494
If I was self-centered, that
would bother the hell outta me.
538
00:15:55,034 --> 00:15:56,534
But we do this together.
539
00:15:57,034 --> 00:16:00,364
In situations like that, you
know, sometimes if your partner's
540
00:16:00,364 --> 00:16:03,424
asking, Hey, you need to take a
step back, let's take a step back.
541
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:03,694
Yeah.
542
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:05,134
I'm a very needy person.
543
00:16:05,344 --> 00:16:05,914
Yes.
544
00:16:06,004 --> 00:16:06,844
I'm very needy.
545
00:16:06,844 --> 00:16:07,114
Um,
546
00:16:07,114 --> 00:16:07,324
that's true.
547
00:16:07,924 --> 00:16:10,624
She's the only person that I
can be okay with being needy.
548
00:16:10,969 --> 00:16:11,649
I mean, I'm needy.
549
00:16:12,169 --> 00:16:14,649
Y you can't sell, but I
literally have my legs on and,
550
00:16:14,909 --> 00:16:18,604
and I'm just show she's got
her legs across me because.
551
00:16:19,104 --> 00:16:21,474
But you know, I mean, that's the,
that's the partnership that we have.
552
00:16:21,474 --> 00:16:21,564
Mm-hmm.
553
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:23,514
That's the, that's the bond that we have.
554
00:16:23,664 --> 00:16:23,814
Mm-hmm.
555
00:16:24,204 --> 00:16:29,164
I wonder though what is a big, what's
a big green flag for you when you're,
556
00:16:29,524 --> 00:16:32,044
when you're for both men and, and women
557
00:16:32,104 --> 00:16:32,284
for you?
558
00:16:32,289 --> 00:16:34,624
I actually, when I see a
couple that has super, super.
559
00:16:35,324 --> 00:16:36,254
Like our besties.
560
00:16:36,314 --> 00:16:38,024
Super good conversation.
561
00:16:38,024 --> 00:16:39,674
Super good communication.
562
00:16:39,794 --> 00:16:40,034
Yeah.
563
00:16:40,184 --> 00:16:42,524
I find it so freaking sexy.
564
00:16:42,584 --> 00:16:43,064
It is hot.
565
00:16:43,604 --> 00:16:44,474
You know what else?
566
00:16:44,474 --> 00:16:45,674
I'm very, very old school.
567
00:16:45,674 --> 00:16:46,394
I like that.
568
00:16:46,394 --> 00:16:50,014
If you tell me, Hey, even if it's
a guy, Hey, I messaged your husband
569
00:16:50,014 --> 00:16:52,504
to see if I could message you and
your husband said for me to message
570
00:16:52,534 --> 00:16:54,214
you, and you'd say yay or nay.
571
00:16:54,874 --> 00:16:56,974
You just wind yourself a point.
572
00:16:57,874 --> 00:16:59,914
Um, that's a really good green flag.
573
00:17:00,724 --> 00:17:01,234
If it's.
574
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:06,709
A woman and she's saying she's
being very transparent with me.
575
00:17:07,159 --> 00:17:08,329
Her intentions are clear.
576
00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:09,469
Green flag
577
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:11,299
communication, baby
578
00:17:11,299 --> 00:17:11,929
communication.
579
00:17:12,019 --> 00:17:12,559
I love it.
580
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:13,819
That's what it's all about.
581
00:17:13,849 --> 00:17:14,209
Yeah.
582
00:17:14,239 --> 00:17:14,479
Yeah.
583
00:17:14,479 --> 00:17:15,919
Those are, those are some damn good.
584
00:17:16,159 --> 00:17:21,339
Green flags I like, so I like
people who are self-aware.
585
00:17:21,609 --> 00:17:21,939
Yes.
586
00:17:21,969 --> 00:17:26,739
I like people who are constantly
trying to figure themselves out.
587
00:17:27,609 --> 00:17:32,059
Figure out what they want, figure
out how to, better themselves.
588
00:17:32,059 --> 00:17:34,484
You know, obviously that's,
that's the path I'm on.
589
00:17:34,484 --> 00:17:34,764
Mm-hmm.
590
00:17:34,844 --> 00:17:37,209
I'm always trying to better
myself, so when I meet other
591
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,729
people, you're who are like that.
592
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:38,939
Yeah.
593
00:17:38,939 --> 00:17:39,899
Just, I dig that.
594
00:17:39,989 --> 00:17:40,559
You kind
595
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:40,679
of
596
00:17:40,679 --> 00:17:41,879
attract those people now.
597
00:17:42,029 --> 00:17:42,419
Yeah.
598
00:17:42,989 --> 00:17:43,209
Now.
599
00:17:43,829 --> 00:17:44,129
You don't
600
00:17:44,129 --> 00:17:44,519
before.
601
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:45,059
I didn't, don't
602
00:17:45,149 --> 00:17:46,919
you don't attract the ika anymore.
603
00:17:46,954 --> 00:17:47,244
Yeah.
604
00:17:47,244 --> 00:17:48,404
You're the, you're the, you're,
605
00:17:48,404 --> 00:17:48,869
I'm the now You're the
606
00:17:48,869 --> 00:17:49,379
only one.
607
00:17:49,379 --> 00:17:50,249
Now You're the only
608
00:17:50,249 --> 00:17:50,399
one.
609
00:17:50,399 --> 00:17:53,309
And I mentioned, I start, I said that
in the beginning of the, of the show
610
00:17:53,309 --> 00:18:00,379
because we were on a live webinar and
I, they were saying that toxic jealousy
611
00:18:00,379 --> 00:18:03,889
is toxic and insecurities are toxic.
612
00:18:03,889 --> 00:18:08,599
And I'm like, I, I am
100% the toxic woman.
613
00:18:09,229 --> 00:18:12,139
I am the person you should
not date, but not marry.
614
00:18:12,994 --> 00:18:13,624
But she's come
615
00:18:13,624 --> 00:18:14,164
a long way,
616
00:18:14,164 --> 00:18:14,284
you know?
617
00:18:14,284 --> 00:18:15,514
But I know, yeah.
618
00:18:15,514 --> 00:18:18,934
And I know of my red flags
and, you know, my red flags.
619
00:18:18,934 --> 00:18:19,024
Yeah.
620
00:18:19,024 --> 00:18:19,114
You're
621
00:18:19,179 --> 00:18:19,499
self-aware.
622
00:18:19,564 --> 00:18:25,114
I'm self-aware and I, and I do try to
compose myself in a certain manner where
623
00:18:25,114 --> 00:18:28,864
it's not like being very demanding.
624
00:18:28,924 --> 00:18:33,574
I'm just, this is my relationship and this
is what I want, and we're gonna figure
625
00:18:33,574 --> 00:18:35,194
it out together and do what we want.
626
00:18:35,194 --> 00:18:35,254
Yeah.
627
00:18:35,254 --> 00:18:38,049
But I am, I'm a very jealous person.
628
00:18:38,619 --> 00:18:38,889
Yeah.
629
00:18:39,389 --> 00:18:40,919
And I'm not jealous of people.
630
00:18:41,609 --> 00:18:44,159
Really, it's really, I'm
jealous of situations and
631
00:18:44,609 --> 00:18:45,689
jealous of situations.
632
00:18:45,779 --> 00:18:46,199
Yeah.
633
00:18:46,229 --> 00:18:46,559
How's that?
634
00:18:47,129 --> 00:18:50,279
I get jealous when you're having
really good conversations with people.
635
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:51,834
And I'm not, it's like, damn.
636
00:18:52,129 --> 00:18:52,399
Really?
637
00:18:52,399 --> 00:18:52,909
Butthead?
638
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:53,629
Yeah.
639
00:18:53,629 --> 00:18:56,739
Or I get jealous when I get
jealous, like dumb things.
640
00:18:56,739 --> 00:18:58,479
Like, Ooh, he liked a certain picture.
641
00:18:58,979 --> 00:18:59,549
No, you didn't.
642
00:18:59,549 --> 00:18:59,819
Still,
643
00:19:00,209 --> 00:19:00,749
you still get
644
00:19:00,749 --> 00:19:00,869
that?
645
00:19:00,869 --> 00:19:01,769
No, not really.
646
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:04,979
You know, I don't know what
I get jealous about anymore.
647
00:19:05,684 --> 00:19:06,944
But when I get jealous, I'll let you know.
648
00:19:07,364 --> 00:19:10,724
Well, I mean, there was a jealousy
issue recently when we had that we
649
00:19:10,724 --> 00:19:14,384
were involved in one, uh, one orgy, and
you were like, I didn't care for that.
650
00:19:15,044 --> 00:19:18,794
Um, it's, it's not a jealousy thing.
651
00:19:18,794 --> 00:19:20,804
It's more of a territorial thing.
652
00:19:21,764 --> 00:19:22,199
What's the difference?
653
00:19:22,199 --> 00:19:23,384
That was more territorial.
654
00:19:23,534 --> 00:19:23,984
What's the difference?
655
00:19:23,984 --> 00:19:24,344
Um,
656
00:19:24,794 --> 00:19:26,054
like more like That's mine.
657
00:19:26,114 --> 00:19:26,894
That's mine.
658
00:19:26,894 --> 00:19:27,344
Yeah.
659
00:19:27,374 --> 00:19:27,614
Um.
660
00:19:28,114 --> 00:19:29,494
Wouldn't that be a form of jealousy?
661
00:19:29,524 --> 00:19:30,634
I mean, I guess yeah.
662
00:19:30,754 --> 00:19:30,934
Yeah.
663
00:19:30,934 --> 00:19:31,234
Yeah.
664
00:19:31,804 --> 00:19:31,954
I mean,
665
00:19:32,219 --> 00:19:32,619
I dunno
666
00:19:32,619 --> 00:19:33,904
if I, I mean, I know I'm
jealous, but honestly, I
667
00:19:34,139 --> 00:19:34,299
dunno.
668
00:19:34,299 --> 00:19:34,459
I'm
669
00:19:34,459 --> 00:19:34,579
curious.
670
00:19:34,579 --> 00:19:35,584
I'm a, I'm a jealous person.
671
00:19:35,584 --> 00:19:36,814
I don't know if that's a form of jealousy.
672
00:19:37,174 --> 00:19:37,354
Yeah.
673
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:38,554
I mean, I guess it could be.
674
00:19:39,184 --> 00:19:42,814
I mean, if it's not, it, it
seems to be in the family.
675
00:19:43,084 --> 00:19:43,324
Yeah.
676
00:19:43,324 --> 00:19:44,194
No, it might be.
677
00:19:44,194 --> 00:19:44,614
Yeah.
678
00:19:44,644 --> 00:19:44,944
I don't know.
679
00:19:45,004 --> 00:19:47,784
Um, yeah, I didn't care for certain
things and it's like, yeah, no.
680
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:48,234
Mm-hmm.
681
00:19:48,264 --> 00:19:51,654
That did not make me feel, first
of all, I don't have compersion,
682
00:19:51,654 --> 00:19:55,104
so it's very hard for me to.
683
00:19:55,604 --> 00:19:58,604
Like things that he likes, and so I'm like
684
00:19:58,654 --> 00:19:59,974
but see this is what I'm saying.
685
00:19:59,974 --> 00:20:00,034
Yeah.
686
00:20:00,064 --> 00:20:03,434
I don't really feel, I like, I understand
that we got our red flags, we got
687
00:20:03,434 --> 00:20:07,544
our green flags, but I really don't
feel it's as black and white or as
688
00:20:07,544 --> 00:20:10,124
red as green as we make it out to be.
689
00:20:10,154 --> 00:20:10,244
No,
690
00:20:10,454 --> 00:20:12,854
there is a major gray zone there is.
691
00:20:13,399 --> 00:20:15,199
That everything operates in.
692
00:20:15,204 --> 00:20:15,404
Mm-hmm.
693
00:20:15,484 --> 00:20:19,519
And of course, everything is situational
to what you and your partner have,
694
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:19,969
have discussed.
695
00:20:19,999 --> 00:20:20,329
Yeah.
696
00:20:20,329 --> 00:20:23,204
Because maybe this is how you
guys do your things mm-hmm.
697
00:20:23,289 --> 00:20:24,349
And what y'all do.
698
00:20:24,729 --> 00:20:28,089
You know, maybe it's not in
the same alignment as us.
699
00:20:28,089 --> 00:20:28,179
Mm-hmm.
700
00:20:28,274 --> 00:20:30,494
And it may be a red flag for us.
701
00:20:30,524 --> 00:20:32,114
It may not be a red flag for y'all.
702
00:20:32,139 --> 00:20:33,524
Or it may be a green flag for us.
703
00:20:33,524 --> 00:20:35,084
It may not be a green flag for y'all.
704
00:20:35,354 --> 00:20:37,244
You know, so, and it's, we
get, everybody does something
705
00:20:37,249 --> 00:20:37,299
different.
706
00:20:37,299 --> 00:20:38,414
Everybody does something different.
707
00:20:38,414 --> 00:20:43,059
I am, I. I expressed to him I
didn't like something and I didn't
708
00:20:43,059 --> 00:20:44,889
really wait too long to express it.
709
00:20:44,889 --> 00:20:47,679
He asked me if I liked it, liked
something, and I said, no, I did not.
710
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:48,759
Like, I didn't care for that.
711
00:20:49,259 --> 00:20:51,989
He sat back and he was like, okay, why?
712
00:20:52,049 --> 00:20:54,619
And I was like, I can't
really, just didn't.
713
00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:55,399
Okay.
714
00:20:56,029 --> 00:20:56,629
And that was it.
715
00:20:57,079 --> 00:20:57,409
That was it.
716
00:20:58,099 --> 00:21:01,599
There was no other, because
it's Is it clear to him?
717
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:02,199
No.
718
00:21:02,199 --> 00:21:02,949
Is it clear to me?
719
00:21:03,009 --> 00:21:04,239
No, but I have to tell him.
720
00:21:04,914 --> 00:21:06,894
And eventually we try to get down to it.
721
00:21:06,904 --> 00:21:12,514
And usually she is good in the fact
that if she can't really explain it,
722
00:21:13,014 --> 00:21:13,234
it
723
00:21:13,239 --> 00:21:13,619
kind of goes away.
724
00:21:13,619 --> 00:21:15,299
She may just, she may just let it go
725
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,259
and be like, whatever.
726
00:21:16,264 --> 00:21:16,474
Yeah.
727
00:21:16,834 --> 00:21:16,914
Whatever.
728
00:21:16,919 --> 00:21:19,649
She may just let it go and
it just goes out the window.
729
00:21:19,709 --> 00:21:19,949
Yeah.
730
00:21:20,229 --> 00:21:23,109
But it's one of those things
where you kind of set it
731
00:21:23,199 --> 00:21:23,469
Yeah.
732
00:21:23,529 --> 00:21:24,429
And it's out there.
733
00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:25,089
Yeah.
734
00:21:25,299 --> 00:21:26,229
Now it's done.
735
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:27,039
Oh wow.
736
00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:27,669
I did it.
737
00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:27,909
Okay.
738
00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:28,269
Hold on.
739
00:21:28,269 --> 00:21:28,959
Gimme some time.
740
00:21:29,199 --> 00:21:29,619
Yeah.
741
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,419
Yeah.
742
00:21:30,449 --> 00:21:35,489
Um, so I do have a lot of self-awareness
of my red flags, and my husband
743
00:21:35,489 --> 00:21:39,379
knows of them, obviously, and they're
just, I do have a lot of green flags.
744
00:21:39,959 --> 00:21:40,289
I,
745
00:21:40,859 --> 00:21:40,979
I'm
746
00:21:40,979 --> 00:21:41,099
really
747
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:41,429
nice sometimes.
748
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:44,664
I like a person who can
gracefully take a note.
749
00:21:45,164 --> 00:21:45,734
Oh yeah.
750
00:21:45,734 --> 00:21:49,754
Now that's not something that comes up
very often, uh, or that is talked about
751
00:21:49,754 --> 00:21:55,934
very clearly, but I will admit 100%
early on the several, the first few years
752
00:21:55,934 --> 00:22:02,024
that we were swingers, when we would
get told no, I took it very personally.
753
00:22:02,084 --> 00:22:02,354
Yeah.
754
00:22:02,664 --> 00:22:04,284
And I didn't take it out on them.
755
00:22:04,284 --> 00:22:06,654
I didn't act different to them
or anything like that, but I
756
00:22:06,924 --> 00:22:08,154
Have you been internalized it?
757
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:09,024
Oh yeah.
758
00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:09,209
Oh.
759
00:22:10,104 --> 00:22:10,674
Yeah,
760
00:22:10,974 --> 00:22:11,784
we have.
761
00:22:12,084 --> 00:22:12,354
Yeah.
762
00:22:12,354 --> 00:22:13,854
Or they'll ghost us.
763
00:22:14,454 --> 00:22:14,889
Oh yeah.
764
00:22:14,894 --> 00:22:15,594
Yeah.
765
00:22:15,594 --> 00:22:17,544
We've been, yeah, no way, man.
766
00:22:18,094 --> 00:22:21,544
And so I used to take
that very personally.
767
00:22:21,544 --> 00:22:25,724
I was like, okay, you know what, whatever
it is it's 'cause I'm ugly or it's 'cause
768
00:22:25,724 --> 00:22:28,574
I'm, 'cause I can't read good or whatever.
769
00:22:28,574 --> 00:22:32,624
You know, it is, I don't know, whatever
it was about me that they decided
770
00:22:33,404 --> 00:22:35,054
this, I, I don't, I'm not interested.
771
00:22:35,554 --> 00:22:41,594
I used to get inside myself, but you know
what, we're not everybody's cup of tea.
772
00:22:41,594 --> 00:22:42,254
Yeah, I know.
773
00:22:42,254 --> 00:22:43,874
I'm not everybody's cup of tea.
774
00:22:43,879 --> 00:22:44,019
We are not.
775
00:22:44,054 --> 00:22:45,074
I'm not for everybody.
776
00:22:45,514 --> 00:22:51,544
And when you look at it in that
perceptive way I'm okay taking the note.
777
00:22:52,414 --> 00:22:55,984
I'll take a no 100% of the time just
to just have the balls to say it.
778
00:22:55,989 --> 00:22:56,434
Mm. Mm-hmm.
779
00:22:56,674 --> 00:22:57,214
You know what I mean?
780
00:22:57,274 --> 00:22:59,944
There's a lot of people who
don't have the balls to say it.
781
00:22:59,949 --> 00:22:59,979
Mm-hmm.
782
00:23:00,059 --> 00:23:02,314
And then they just ghost or
they pretend you're not there.
783
00:23:02,314 --> 00:23:02,434
Mm-hmm.
784
00:23:02,734 --> 00:23:07,384
Or, you know, they'll make up
whatever, but have, be an adult.
785
00:23:07,654 --> 00:23:07,714
Yeah.
786
00:23:07,714 --> 00:23:11,674
Let's be an adult and tell another
adult, Hey, you know what, I'm
787
00:23:11,674 --> 00:23:13,269
sorry, but I'm not interested.
788
00:23:13,274 --> 00:23:13,414
Mm-hmm.
789
00:23:13,554 --> 00:23:15,399
And you don't have to explain why.
790
00:23:15,789 --> 00:23:19,359
And if the person asks you to explain
why, you just say, I'm sorry, I
791
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,409
don't, I don't wanna get into it.
792
00:23:20,409 --> 00:23:20,739
But yeah.
793
00:23:21,614 --> 00:23:23,114
You know, I think you're really awesome.
794
00:23:23,114 --> 00:23:24,164
I just, I'm not interested.
795
00:23:24,714 --> 00:23:29,724
And if they don't take that
no gracefully, then they gotta
796
00:23:29,724 --> 00:23:30,794
walk, you know what I mean?
797
00:23:30,794 --> 00:23:30,854
They
798
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:31,904
gotta fly the coop.
799
00:23:31,904 --> 00:23:32,954
They gotta take it easy.
800
00:23:32,954 --> 00:23:34,634
They gotta go, they gotta go.
801
00:23:34,634 --> 00:23:34,844
So,
802
00:23:34,844 --> 00:23:36,074
no, I mean, there's, there's a lot.
803
00:23:36,074 --> 00:23:38,764
So don't, red flags, green flags.
804
00:23:39,264 --> 00:23:43,374
To the outside, to their partner, it might
be something they've already settled on.
805
00:23:43,374 --> 00:23:46,254
We're just expressing hours
because we have the show.
806
00:23:46,704 --> 00:23:47,394
So
807
00:23:47,604 --> 00:23:47,754
yeah,
808
00:23:47,874 --> 00:23:48,924
we're gonna express ours.
809
00:23:48,924 --> 00:23:54,114
I'm very transparent of my
toxicity, like I get it.
810
00:23:54,424 --> 00:23:54,844
But.
811
00:23:55,459 --> 00:23:56,059
For us.
812
00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:57,379
It's just the way I am.
813
00:23:57,379 --> 00:24:00,019
It's not a toxic trait to my husband.
814
00:24:00,229 --> 00:24:00,319
Yeah.
815
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:01,519
It's just a trait.
816
00:24:01,579 --> 00:24:02,509
It's just who I am.
817
00:24:02,869 --> 00:24:06,079
And he's known since we started
and I've gotten a lot better.
818
00:24:06,529 --> 00:24:10,939
But I do still have certain
things that just trigger me.
819
00:24:11,149 --> 00:24:11,419
And
820
00:24:11,419 --> 00:24:12,919
you know, we're not a perfect couple.
821
00:24:12,919 --> 00:24:13,579
We're not a perfect couple.
822
00:24:14,149 --> 00:24:16,519
You show you show me the
perfect couple that's out there.
823
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:16,579
Yeah.
824
00:24:16,579 --> 00:24:18,949
I mean, if you guys are
perfect, God please let me know.
825
00:24:18,949 --> 00:24:20,449
I would love to interview you.
826
00:24:20,479 --> 00:24:21,139
Yes, please.
827
00:24:21,169 --> 00:24:23,494
Um, but realistically, we're all.
828
00:24:23,994 --> 00:24:27,084
Trying to maintain our own relationship.
829
00:24:27,084 --> 00:24:27,144
Yeah.
830
00:24:27,474 --> 00:24:33,444
And that integrity and be able
to have our fun as we see fit.
831
00:24:33,864 --> 00:24:33,954
Mm-hmm.
832
00:24:34,194 --> 00:24:36,174
And that takes, it takes some doing.
833
00:24:36,174 --> 00:24:36,744
Mm-hmm.
834
00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:36,979
Does
835
00:24:37,009 --> 00:24:40,434
that takes a lot of doing
and it takes a lot of sitting
836
00:24:40,434 --> 00:24:43,164
back and self-reflection and.
837
00:24:43,584 --> 00:24:45,234
How is my relationship
838
00:24:45,264 --> 00:24:45,654
Yeah.
839
00:24:45,654 --> 00:24:45,744
With
840
00:24:45,744 --> 00:24:48,324
my partner, you know, there's
just a lot of aspects to it.
841
00:24:48,324 --> 00:24:48,384
Yeah.
842
00:24:48,384 --> 00:24:49,944
I just don't think it's very simple as
843
00:24:50,004 --> 00:24:50,064
No,
844
00:24:50,274 --> 00:24:52,134
as people will make it out to be.
845
00:24:52,314 --> 00:24:54,144
Um, and I don't mean that
in a negative way at all.
846
00:24:54,144 --> 00:24:57,594
I just, I think there's a lot of,
of stuff that we can take from
847
00:24:57,594 --> 00:24:59,144
this that will make you grow.
848
00:24:59,149 --> 00:24:59,199
Mm-hmm.
849
00:24:59,299 --> 00:25:00,319
And I think that's so cool.
850
00:25:00,419 --> 00:25:00,839
Mm-hmm.
851
00:25:01,274 --> 00:25:02,924
To know that you can grow as a person.
852
00:25:02,924 --> 00:25:03,854
I think that's pretty awesome.
853
00:25:04,364 --> 00:25:04,514
It's
854
00:25:04,514 --> 00:25:07,004
especially in a lifestyle where you
get to have sex with other people.
855
00:25:07,934 --> 00:25:08,114
Yeah.
856
00:25:08,614 --> 00:25:08,734
You
857
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:09,814
touch my beard?
858
00:25:10,654 --> 00:25:10,684
I
859
00:25:10,684 --> 00:25:10,774
did.
860
00:25:10,774 --> 00:25:11,884
That wasn't weird at all.
861
00:25:11,884 --> 00:25:14,604
That's 'cause you're married
to me like a fury rug.
862
00:25:15,104 --> 00:25:15,969
Thank you for that.
863
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,739
That is a green flag.
864
00:25:18,639 --> 00:25:20,859
Unless you're somebody other than
my wife and you touch my beard.
865
00:25:20,859 --> 00:25:23,139
In which case my wife would
be like, uh, excuse me.
866
00:25:23,139 --> 00:25:23,649
See?
867
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:24,609
He knows.
868
00:25:24,609 --> 00:25:24,639
He knows it.
869
00:25:25,474 --> 00:25:26,344
Oh my gosh, man.
870
00:25:26,344 --> 00:25:30,574
We've had conversations with people
before, or we've been talking to a,
871
00:25:30,574 --> 00:25:35,044
a single woman before and they'll
say something and I know from the
872
00:25:35,044 --> 00:25:39,454
way they worded something that I
was gonna have to eat shit later.
873
00:25:39,454 --> 00:25:40,114
The alpha,
874
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,329
yeah, the
875
00:25:40,329 --> 00:25:41,284
alpha part of me just,
876
00:25:41,284 --> 00:25:42,529
she's gonna be like, why did she say that?
877
00:25:43,029 --> 00:25:44,409
How long have you guys been talking?
878
00:25:44,409 --> 00:25:45,639
Why, why did she say it?
879
00:25:45,639 --> 00:25:46,659
Why did she say it like that?
880
00:25:47,109 --> 00:25:49,359
Nearly I didn't, I didn't
tell her to say it like that.
881
00:25:49,569 --> 00:25:49,929
Yeah.
882
00:25:49,989 --> 00:25:50,469
You know, it's, I
883
00:25:50,469 --> 00:25:52,089
just roll my eyes sometimes
when I'm not in the mood.
884
00:25:52,089 --> 00:25:53,169
I'm just like, whatever.
885
00:25:53,349 --> 00:25:57,549
This is a very diverse community and
there's a lot of different now, guys, I'm
886
00:25:57,549 --> 00:25:59,734
telling you I am Laika.
887
00:26:00,209 --> 00:26:01,199
I am the original.
888
00:26:01,699 --> 00:26:03,289
Yeah that's what she says.
889
00:26:03,789 --> 00:26:05,604
She came from one too, you know.
890
00:26:05,844 --> 00:26:06,084
I did.
891
00:26:06,584 --> 00:26:07,874
My mom was very territorial.
892
00:26:08,534 --> 00:26:08,834
Yeah,
893
00:26:08,864 --> 00:26:09,374
very jealous
894
00:26:09,374 --> 00:26:09,434
of.
895
00:26:09,434 --> 00:26:12,884
But you know, that's, and that's
one thing that, that people always
896
00:26:12,884 --> 00:26:15,494
ask us is like, how do you handle
jealousy and stuff like that?
897
00:26:15,494 --> 00:26:16,724
Lemme tell you, I handle it.
898
00:26:16,724 --> 00:26:17,564
I put her in the closet,
899
00:26:17,684 --> 00:26:18,224
I handle it.
900
00:26:18,494 --> 00:26:19,454
Oh, she is a, she is.
901
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:20,564
You know, I handle that.
902
00:26:20,699 --> 00:26:23,474
Do handle, lemme tell you
what, I handle that shit.
903
00:26:24,014 --> 00:26:25,364
But let me tell you this too.
904
00:26:25,634 --> 00:26:25,724
Mm-hmm.
905
00:26:26,224 --> 00:26:28,804
Let us be that.
906
00:26:29,419 --> 00:26:34,249
Inspirational example in the
fact that you can be a jealous
907
00:26:34,249 --> 00:26:39,469
person and still be successful in
this lifestyle as, as a couple.
908
00:26:39,589 --> 00:26:42,259
Because she's very, very jealous.
909
00:26:42,259 --> 00:26:43,839
But we communicate about it.
910
00:26:43,869 --> 00:26:43,989
Yeah.
911
00:26:43,989 --> 00:26:44,859
We work through it.
912
00:26:44,979 --> 00:26:46,089
This is what we do.
913
00:26:46,689 --> 00:26:48,849
And so there isn't a
single thing I always said.
914
00:26:48,849 --> 00:26:50,859
There isn't a single thing that
will, that will break us up.
915
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:51,939
Yeah.
916
00:26:51,939 --> 00:26:55,539
Um, you know, that's because
we talk about everything.
917
00:26:55,629 --> 00:26:55,749
Yeah.
918
00:26:56,249 --> 00:26:59,639
So there's nothing that will,
you know, we have our agreements,
919
00:26:59,639 --> 00:27:00,659
you break the agreement.
920
00:27:00,659 --> 00:27:01,379
Well, why'd you do that?
921
00:27:02,129 --> 00:27:02,939
Let's talk about that.
922
00:27:02,944 --> 00:27:03,034
Mm-hmm.
923
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:03,869
Why did you do that?
924
00:27:03,929 --> 00:27:04,619
Why did you do that?
925
00:27:04,829 --> 00:27:05,669
What happened there?
926
00:27:05,699 --> 00:27:05,969
Yeah.
927
00:27:06,029 --> 00:27:06,809
You know what I mean?
928
00:27:07,289 --> 00:27:10,739
It's kind of how it, you know, it's
a, it's emotional growth, and I think
929
00:27:10,739 --> 00:27:12,719
that's, that's what you get from this.
930
00:27:12,719 --> 00:27:12,729
Mm-hmm.
931
00:27:12,994 --> 00:27:14,134
Uh, this journey.
932
00:27:14,194 --> 00:27:14,789
If you do
933
00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:17,759
it and be open, be open with what
you want and what you don't like,
934
00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:21,809
like your partner should be the one
person that you can turn to and,
935
00:27:21,814 --> 00:27:21,944
yeah.
936
00:27:22,814 --> 00:27:25,904
And they should, you know, you should
be able to have those conversations.
937
00:27:25,904 --> 00:27:26,144
So
938
00:27:26,654 --> 00:27:27,194
totally
939
00:27:27,404 --> 00:27:28,574
don't be the red flags that we're,
940
00:27:29,024 --> 00:27:30,164
don't be the red flags.
941
00:27:30,944 --> 00:27:31,814
She's a red flag.
942
00:27:31,819 --> 00:27:31,959
I'm the
943
00:27:31,959 --> 00:27:32,439
green flag.
944
00:27:32,439 --> 00:27:33,314
Hey, I know, like that was anybody else.
945
00:27:33,314 --> 00:27:37,934
Like I am just my way be, I'm jealous
for h like of him, like I'm territorial.
946
00:27:37,964 --> 00:27:38,474
I'm jealous
947
00:27:38,474 --> 00:27:38,594
to
948
00:27:38,594 --> 00:27:39,284
make him feel
949
00:27:39,284 --> 00:27:39,404
better.
950
00:27:39,974 --> 00:27:42,014
Will that, will that
fill out to anybody else?
951
00:27:42,734 --> 00:27:44,054
No, not unnecessarily.
952
00:27:44,474 --> 00:27:46,754
If you say or do something
that triggers me, I'm gonna
953
00:27:46,754 --> 00:27:47,834
be very transparent with you.
954
00:27:47,834 --> 00:27:50,024
I'm gonna be open, very
honest with you and tell you.
955
00:27:50,579 --> 00:27:54,569
You said this to my husband and
this made me feel a certain way.
956
00:27:54,899 --> 00:27:55,019
That
957
00:27:55,019 --> 00:27:55,169
is true.
958
00:27:55,169 --> 00:27:56,009
I don't hide around the bush.
959
00:27:56,009 --> 00:27:57,059
I don't beat around the bush.
960
00:27:57,059 --> 00:27:57,749
I don't hide.
961
00:27:57,749 --> 00:28:00,109
I am open and honest.
962
00:28:00,609 --> 00:28:02,559
That is a fact.
963
00:28:03,059 --> 00:28:03,679
That's great.
964
00:28:03,819 --> 00:28:04,039
