This is

This is 15 minutes of freedom. I'm your host Ryan Nidell and today's topic is love actually.

So I put out a challenge last week, not really so much of a challenge, but more of a question and answer situation for people that wanted to have new input onto the show and for me to kind of

go to go to where the listeners are asking me to go to and I had somebody reach out to me

and ask me to talk about relationships and what those mean.

And in context of how I view the world, I can only give you a frame of reference for my personal

experience.

And my personal experience for having a phenomenally

committed relationship with a woman that's literally my best friend and

Lindsay getting married in now two weeks from the time you

guys here this episode it'll be about a week to you know everything prior to that that

built up to that point and so it's it's always fun and easy to talk about the

good stuff fun about about, you know,

Lindenai's relationship and our date nights every week and our connection and how we

interact with one another. That's simple. You know, that's the fun stuff. But the fun

stuff isn't how I've learned any lessons. The lessons come from the pain. And so the

pain of this situation is a little bit different. It's a story about a woman I was dating,

gosh probably six or seven years ago.

Can't even tell you the time period at this point.

Her name was Melissa.

And this girl was someone that I met when I was working in a company in Akron, a web hosting company.

And we were just friends.
