      Can you imagine a 16 year old and a 26 year old. So inappropriate.
      18 and 28 isn't much better.
      Girl, just leave.

    Shirley from Texas- This is the first podcast of y’all’s that I’ve heard 🤯 you so are so refreshing and hilarious! My husband and I have been married for 9 years and I thought we were weird for humorously talking shit to each other! Good to know there are others out there that don’t take themselves too seriously and are still crazy in love with each other. Keep it up, “give it to me straight” will definitely be our car ride hangs go to podcast! 🤩🤩

    I dont understand the person in the second question, you want your Relationship to be a long term thing and yet you cheated/are cheating?? If you dont come clean, he'll find out on his own eventually. You're taking away his choice. He deserves to find somone who wants to commit

  • @juliaperri6528
    @juliaperri6528 Рік тому +5

    not to burst anyone’s bubble, but I was with a high school sweetheart for six years, and felt the same way as that girl. I just couldn’t imagine going my entire life never sleeping with anyone else. Plus, I didn’t know it at the time, but I was not emotionally fulfilled at all whatsoever, so I dumped him, had a short hoe phase and then met my husband, who I am happily married to, and do not need anyone else ever because our sexual chemistry is amazing!! Sometimes you do need to experience other things

    • @danielleharrison5505
      @danielleharrison5505 10 місяців тому

      But for you it wasn't all about sex. You didn't know that at the time but the relationship wasn't fulfilling emotionally so you having you hoe phase, yes, qas about sex but if you weren't fulfilled, the relationship wouldn't have lasted anyway and it wouldn't be about sex

They bounce off each other and many of us mask it so well, without even knowing we do. I could see Alex having both too haha but that’s just because I’ve been diving deep into it all haha lots of love 😅😉🥰

    I cannot wait to be able to argue or be with my husband 24/7 😩 I dream of that day, I enjoy every second with my husband. He is so sweet and maybe me too 😂 I can totally see the down fall 😮 but regardless being able to be with your husband every single day? Sounds amazing to me. I just hope to be able to at least enjoy that, who wouldn't want to be with their loved ones? The laughter the greatest moment is to be with who you love? Aside from going down the "typical" I love him I love fighting I love it all.. no seconds are enough. O I can only imagine to be disrespected with my husband. I love every minute and all moments with him 😢 I hope I can feel this experience

    I love listening and just authentically laughing with you guys. And real honesty. Sometimes people need to hear it straight forward. Also, people need to start giving more details in their questions. How annoying you never knowing the full stories so you really can’t give true advice. PEOPLE! Be more honest and in depth if you want them to answer the same way 💕

    To the elope couple: Being a fiancee /fiance is so much fun! Saying "I'm engaged" is so young and flirty and fun - so much more fun sounding than being married sounds (I love being married, but still - "fiancee" sounds sexier and flirtier than "wife").
    Enjoy it, it's so short and it's (hopefully) a once in a lifetime period. Enjoy being engaged! It's fun! Why would you need to "romanticize" the most romantic phase of life?!?!

      ​@@JulieN-en9ur nah, you just decided to pull some mental gymnastics by twisting semantics to attempt to point out hypocrisy on my part in order to justify your behavior of "voicing your own (obnoxious) opinion". Hypocrisy isn't a great justification to post every buffoon opinion that pops in your head. You can if you wish though.
      But it looks like we agree that its annoying to tell others what to do.
      Like you did by crying about how ugly it is to swear.
      Which was my original point.
