| 0:00.0 | So I was married for five years together with my ex for seven altogether and we got divorced last November. |
| 0:25.0 | And last November. And that is kind of a long story, but anyway, so I've been, let me think, where to go. |
| 0:30.5 | We got divorced and it was a, what's called, I'm sure you are aware, an amicable divorce which means we kind of figure things out on our |
| 0:36.5 | own we don't have to involve lawyers and all of that and her reasoning was she was unhappy and kind of that whole line of thinking. |
| 0:50.0 | And she, shortly thereafter, got a boyfriend, which of course means certain things. |
| 1:20.9 | And they were together for about a year and then she's actually had a baby with him and now they've split as soon as the baby was born he's gone and I only know this because she text me back she's sort of text to me again and I |

| 2:32.0 | I'm really on the fence about whether or not to even engage. |
| 2:39.0 | In fact, I've kind of cut my text short whenever I text her about anything like whenever she's asking questions. |
| 2:46.6 | And so I guess my big my big question is that is kind of or a question for advice I get. |
| 2:57.0 | It's not is it a bad idea? |
| 3:03.0 | So speak. |
| 3:05.0 | And yeah, but. |
| 3:07.0 | Well, listen, that's a great question to ask, |
