The good, bad, and funny. The other day I shared on Instagram that you and I were in a like a rut or a

marriage low I didn't really know what to call it and some people came for me they were like oh my God are you going to be okay

Are you getting a divorce is everything okay and I just think it's so interesting that people like

Assume that as soon as there's a little hiccup,

like you gotta go, it's out, it's done, but marriage isn't like that, at least not in my eyes. I feel like it's like, it's a commitment you make

and you have to work for it.

And it doesn't come easy.

Love doesn't come easy.

Marriage doesn't come easy. Parenting doesn't come easy, marriage doesn't come easy, parenting doesn't come easy, and now we're

gonna have a podcast episode on it because we have to tell everyone.

Like, are we gonna be okay?

Tam and I decided to sit down and just record this episode and tell you guys about like what's been going on how our marriage is doing and what we plan on doing moving forward and honestly like it's been a couple weeks now since we said we would do this so I feel like I don't know if we're just like kind of avoiding it or it's just been one of those things but it is a conversation we do need to have we did agree that we need to have

this conversation because we had this like big argument when I had COVID which was

one was that a couple weeks ago now and hopefully it'll be

therapeutic for us to help us work through some stuff in a better way. Yeah, so I had

COVID on March 3rd because it was the weekend before your birthday and then I think

it was last week or two weeks ago that I was telling my therapist about how I just felt like

so angry and frustrated and the like I felt like a big lack of emotional support during that time and I have I don't remember ever being that sick like yeah after kids and stuff I would need you and this and that but

COVID I was like so sick and I felt like you were just not there for me emotionally.
