Try and win 11.

0:12.0

Welcome to the program.

0:30.0

I'm going to ask why are we shaking up?

0:52.0

At some point during this conversation we had yesterday, you might tell me I should have said please hug me.

1:04.0

I'm sorry you have no right to do that. Why do you women play these games?

1:22.0

There is no contemplation about the future. You're shaking up. That's a here and now. Spending time getting to know each other, getting engaged, that is the pathway to a future. This is a bypass street.

I don't know what I'm trying to have the conversation to move into the marriage steps.

3:12.0

He said he was unwilling to do the things that I suggested. I said to him, well, that makes us incompatible. You should just leave.

3:22.0

By the end of it, although we did end up.

3:26.0

Did you end up screwing and filing?

3:28.0

Did you end up screwing and having sex?

3:30.0

We did not have makeup sex.

3:34.0
