0:00.0	Eight months ago, he shared that he wanted to separate.
0:09.0	We have two young kids and I don't want to instill this like wishy-washy value into them.
0:17.0	If we were having a longer conversation and we were sitting down like having nachos or something,
0:20.0	I would take a lot longer to get to where I'm about to go, okay?
0:29.2	Hey, what's going on? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney's show coming to you from Nashville, Tennessee.
0:36.4	Taking real calls from people all over the planet about their
0:40.7	mental and emotional health, their relationships, their marriages, their kids, whatever they got
0:44.2	going on in their life. I got two PhDs. I've been sitting with hurting people for more than two
0:50.4	decades, and that's what we do on the show. Just try to figure out what's the next right move. If you want to be on the show, I'd love to have you. Go to john Deloney.com slash ask. ASK, fill out the form. I don't take question and answers on social media, but I would love for you to write in with what's going on in your life.

1:52.2	We had always said that like we weren't interested and we didn't like necessarily believe in
1:57.5	separating a divorce and all of that.
2:00.4	So after he said that, like I said, it's been eight months and nothing really has
2:06.5	happened.
2:07.3	The only time I noticed that things are happening is like kind of in response to something
2:13.8	that I've said, something that a therapist has said, and nothing like, it's just like him making a move.
2:21.7	Um, so really my question is we have two, uh, young kids and I don't want to instill this like wishy-washy value into them.
2:33.3	Um, so I'm just really not sure what the next move is.
