0:00.0 | So Bob, I have a bunch of questions that you and I are going to answer. What do you say? |
0:03.7 | That's answer one of them. So this is from the survey that I sent out asking people to submit |
0:08.6 | questions for you and me to answer. Is there ever a time when an extra marital affair can be justified? |
0:15.6 | Bob, what do you think? No, but this word justified, I'm this the thing, is like what are you saying? |
0:21.8 | Are you saying where what it's street legal or it's sanctioned by or the other the other person |
0:27.3 | in the relationship should therefore be okay with it? Or are you saying you wish there not to be |
0:34.6 | a negative consequence of the thing or like a moral thing? You know, I'm not sure what the word |

1:47.2 | oh, the marriage is going downhill or you have attachment injuries from the past that are being |

1:59.2 | it takes a lot of tiny decisions to conduct an affair. People often, the people having |
