Triumph 111. Dylan, welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura. It's a pleasure to speak with you. I've been a long time listener for about 20 years and I feel like I've just grown up listening to you and learning from so much from you.

0:23.0

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, great. How can I help you today?

0:28.0

Well, I'm 31 years old and I've been married to my husband for five months. I'm so pretty much into the woods.

0:37.0

I guess getting to my question before I give you kind of the overall just of what happened. My question is am I overreacting and acting childish?

2:01.0

Six months, which is definitely not a good idea. It was definitely moved very quickly.

2:06.0

Nobody ever told you you don't know enough to make this decision with him. Nobody said that. Not your parents, not your friends.

2:25.0

And your experience with them the whole duration of your life is that they're stupid?

2:35.0

2:42.0

And now I think I am kind of seeing that.
