This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

All right, we're back.

I do part two.

This is Mr. Wright, and I'm joined once again by Louise. We had so much fun last time talking about all the questions and comments from listeners. I think we ran out of time. We had so many. So we want to continue this and get right back into it. Of course, we have producer Heather, who is our referee, keeping us on time and on

topic. Yes. So let's dive into, this is a good one. Mr. Wright, we'll start with you.

Should you talk about your previous marriage in early dates when meeting somebody new?

You know, we're going to do away with the clock in this episode. I'm going to give you some honest time. Okay, but keep Louise under two minutes because, you know. Okay, I promise. But go ahead, take it away. What are your thoughts on talking about your previous marriage when first meeting someone new? Should you do it? Okay. It's the elephant in the room. I think you have to. I think you have to get it out of the way i think you have to address it i don't think you have to just don't on it i don't think it has to be the main topic on and on and on and on um you know i personally i want to know what happened i mean if somebody especially if i think somebody's attractive and they're, you know, they're energetic and they're

all the things that I'm looking for. The first question I'm going to have was, what did the other

person in their life not like about them? And so I think that there has to be an addressing of what

happened in the previous relationship and, you know, why it ended the way it did. But I don't think that you have to sit there and commiserate about how bad the X was or commiserate about, you know, what, you know, how terrible the divorce was. I think you address it and you're able to move on and use it as a reference point, but you can't ignore it. Okay, well, that's good. Louise, before we get to you,

I want to ask Mr. Wright, one follow up on that. Somebody says the reason why their marriage ended

in divorce. What reason, if you hear it, is giving you pause as to if you should go on another

date with this person? There could be a ton of reasons why, you know, a divorce ended and things that would give me red flags, you know, if that person isn't being really specific, if they're just saying, oh, you know, it just wasn't working out. Like, I'm going to be like, well, why wasn't it working out? Because usually there's a pretty simple answer along the way.

And people can fall out of love.

People can have these very, very kind of neutral things or they can be dramatic things.

He cheated, she cheated.

You know, there was money issues.

There was alcohol issues.

There was drug abuse issues.

There was physical abuse issues.

So I think that,
