0:00.0	Thanks for downloading my call of the day podcast you two can participate in my live radio program heard weekdays from two to five p.m. Eastern time on serious XM triumph 1-11
0:12.5	Donna, welcome to the program. Hi. Hi. I appreciate you taking my call today. Sure. So I have a situation with a long term boyfriend that he pretty much blindsided me and moved out.
0:29.9	With about a 24 hour notice and you were shaking up with the guy. Yes. Why? Without marriage. Why? Well, we had both been married before and I don't want to hear that. I don't care about that. I want to know why you shacked up without marriage.
0:54.4	At least with marriage. There's some I want to be at least.
0:58.9	God, you sound like a silly teenager right now. I just wanted to. That's not how an adult woman makes a decision. But certainly when you're just shacking up, you cannot expect.
1:12.4	Permanency. And because something looks great to you clearly it was not because he didn't give you notice he just got out. That means he wasn't happy for a long time and you didn't know it.
1:26.9	When you marry we have some greater expectation because families are involved kids are involved all this stuff. It's more of a universe around you of support.
1:39.9	So he got bored. He got annoyed and he left. And it's not fair for you to be angry because there was no commitment. So he left. Okay. So what can I do for you today?
1:54.9	Well, since since he has moved out, it's been several months. And we have continued to see each other and try to not.

2:12.9	Not necessarily. Is that a yes or a no? That's actually a no.
2:20.9	Why did we have necessarily there? That sort of made it a little bit yes, a little bit no. So you're not having sex, but you see each other like friends. That's nice.
2:30.9	Yeah. And what has he told you about leaving without notice? What has he told you?
2:36.9	That he made a mistake. He should not have done that. He should have talked to me.
2:44.9	And been more informative and been able to open up more.
2:50.9	So what did he open up with? Why did he bounce out?
2:58.9	He felt like he did not feel secure being here in the house because it I own the house.
3:07.9	Okay. What is your question for me?
3:11.9	Do I do I continue trying or?
3:14.9	Sure. Absolutely. Why not?
3:17.9	Yeah. Sure. Go ahead. Yeah. Why not?
3:21.9	Why not?
