Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11.

Judith, welcome to the program.

Hello, Gertelora. Here's a happy me on your show today.

You're very welcome. What's up?

I have to say before I tell you why I'm calling you made such a difference in my family's life.

What I called you about six years ago to ask if my son should go to private school. There was a reason why you just ignored the reason and you talk to the issue and he went and what an amazing experience and what a difference.

I think it's made in his life. I mean, he had an amazing education. He knows how to think. He met really nice people. So thank you. I mean that one conversation changed our life. So thank you.

My issue.

I mean, I think it made a difference. Anyway, so I can't even imagine what the trajectory would have been. How do you have not gone there? But that's a different story. So anyway, today I want to make a difference in his life by seeing the right thing. I don't want to metal. It's not my job anymore. He's 18. He's had a year of university.

He's off for the summer working and doing stuff that's really going to help him. But just before he went, he broke up with the girl he'd been with for, I guess, your high school and through the last semester of university.

And it was because not and not and because break up with the cause. He told her that in the future, he could not imagine being with somebody who wasn't of the same faith of him, who didn't have the same cultural background. Yes.

I was I he told me that smart. Yeah. Yeah. But then she turned around. She's a quality person and said, I don't want to be with somebody with us and expiration date.

So I mean, they're young.

That was a bizarre irrelevant thing to say. She just tried to make him feel equally bad. Expiration date. They're 18 freaking years old. We're not talking about a lifelong commitment at this point. So that was just her attempt to hurt him.

And that's why I'm looking for what to say the right thing to say because now he's feeling that he's wavering. He knows he said the right thing. He knows.

Okay, Judas. Judas. What do I think? Judas. After what Judas did you start hearing me?

I just just want to just couldn't blame myself. Okay, there you go for those who think people are really not hearing me. Thank you very much for proving that point. You just say to him, it's very painful when there are so many great feelings about her.

You have to make a decision based on good sense for the future, feeling good and familiarity with someone. Obviously isn't enough for the next 40 years. And you made a wise decision. And like most wise decisions, it hurts like hell.

Okay, but I'm proud of you that you're willing to suffer it for your values. You becoming an extraordinary man.

Thank you. That's what I need to say. Okay. Thank you for listening. Thank you for hearing me again.

Dr. Laura, the things you do, the things you say, what are different things they make that I'm getting off the phone so you can help somebody else. Thank you. This is brilliant.

You're very welcome.
