And so his reaction is inflated compared to what you've actually done, which you know maybe you've controlled yourself

You've done really great this whole time, but he doesn't know that you know you have to realize that what he's working with is a limited data set

He can only guess what you do behind the scenes. You know, to him, this is probably a confirmation of his fears, even if it's not the truth. And that's something you need to recognize from your position that it could simultaneously be not true, like not true in the global sense,

you didn't do anything, you didn't sleep with anybody, whatever the case may be, and recognize that to him,

emotionally the experience experiences as if he was cheated on again.

Hey everybody, before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general,

and some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content,

but also respect and recognize your limitations.

So please use your best judgment.

I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, but

feel free to feel it out, check out the episode, and just see what happens. If you need to skip, that's

okay, but you know, feel free to give it a shot first. I also need to say that while I am a psychologist,

I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help.

So with those said, let's go ahead it's great, great, great, great, All right.
