I moved from a larger city, you know, so obviously like resources, opportunities, and I moved to a more, not even more, a significantly more rural and secluded area a couple years ago to live with my

partner and because he owns a home, whereas I was, you know, living in a bigger city,

you know, paying a lot in rent and we wanted to build our life together. So instead of me

paying all that money in rent, I moved away from these resources,

away from these opportunities.

I work from home, and my money was supposed to go into, like, you know, renovating our home

and starting, you know, investing in our life together.

And I know if Dave was here, he would say that my first mistake was doing this before.

There was a ring on my finger.

And I don't necessarily agree with that.

I don't know where the hour is because it's his home.

Right.

Absolutely.

And that's absolutely true.

But I want to invest in a life with him and his daughter. Okay. Does he? It's more that, well, so that's the presumption I've been under,

you know, as he moved me away from my life and I made these sacrifices. Hold up. Roll it back, run it back just a little bit. He moved you? Yeah, because he didn't move you. You chose to move. Did he kidnap you, put you in a trunk? Because if so, we need to call the police. No, you're totally right. Okay, scared me. Okay. We're being strong on it, but it's so important that you do own your part of this as you untangle this

because it'll just help you have those fair conversations with him when the time comes for you to talk about all of this.

No, you're completely right.

Cool, cool.

So you're kind of trying to, you're thinking ahead going, okay, I moved out here

because I did see a future and now, now what, now what's happening?
