Chapter 1: What insecurities do people struggle with in relationships?
He's an observer.
He is. He is. So it's great to have him on the show. So he's going to help Justin come up with the answers.
Yes, a lot of wisdom sitting here next to me.
A lot of wisdom. In fact, it's really an interesting thing because I found that sometimes I've run across people that are very, very, very bright. Sometimes they're not as bright as they think they are, but they're bright. But what they do lack sometimes is wisdom.
So I think we should all recognize that sometimes we may think we know the answer and we may think that we know better than what people are out there. Sometimes never underestimate the people that you're around because you may find out that they hold a lot of wisdom that you may learn something from them. That's right. So there's the lesson of the day. And that's our guy right over here.
That's good old Pedro.
Good to have him. It is. Are you curious about our theme by chance?
I am curious about our theme.
Well, we're going into insecurities.

Chapter 2: How can I overcome feelings of insecurity?
I always thought no matter what we go through as a couple, at the end of the day, we would have each other's backs. But this whole situation made me realize that wasn't the case. How can I trust that this won't happen again? How do I come back from having my heart broken? Do I break up with him and throw away seven years?
Or do I let it go and hope that if we were in a similar situation, he would protect me and our relationship? Ideal outcome, I want advice on how to move forward, whether that be to continue in the relationship and try and work it out or break up.
Wow, there's a lot of dynamics going on here. I think that you would be happy if you want to even marry the guy, but if you do want to marry the guy, you would be happy to have something with grandma and grandpa and make them satisfied that they can be a part of it. But does that mean it has to involve a 200 person wedding?
If it's too much for you, no, it can involve going to the courthouse or going to someone who's going to marry you, standing in front of them and have grandma and grandpa could be in the front row, whoever you want to have next to you. And the very intimate small gig and you know, Whatever you choose. You're just trying to get through the fact, is this your person? And that's step one.
And in relationships, they don't always go smoothly. And the longer you've been together, the more comfortable you are. You feel that you can voice what's really important to you. But you can't be criticized when you do it. You have to really be able to say, I understand your thought process. Here's my thought process. And we need to work through this.
Now, this is a decision you're going to have to figure out. Can you guys work out the fact that you are more important than than the rest of the people outside your nucleus. You know, when I'm in a relationship and I've figured out who's my nucleus, no one's going to bust that. That is my nucleus.
And that is, when I'm in that place, that's a beautiful place to be because you really have your person that you guys can work together to achieve it. You may not always agree on how to achieve it because we're different. Um, and that's the point. You gotta be really able to listen to them, maybe even learn from them, hear them.
Yeah.
And it's going to be okay. Even if you may not get what you, the way you wanted to do it, it might just work out just fine because you love each other and you trust one another.
