00:00What are you thinking?
00:01Like, we don't have to stop having sex with each other to fix things, right?
00:11I have a really intense group of couples.
00:14She found out that I had been cheating on her.
00:17I thought we were happy.
00:18Anxious.
00:19I want the freedom to explore.
00:22Craze.
00:23She is very mean to me.
00:25Are you crying?
00:25I feel bad.
00:26Pushed to the edge.
00:27Are you here playing to me?
00:29Please.
00:30I'm not going to play that game.

00:35Notice it immediately fell apart, our conversation.
00:41In couples therapy, nothing is what it seems.

01:17All I hear is just, she's ready to be done with me and move on.
01:24Really intense feelings come up.
01:26It frustrates me.

01:28It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
01:30This doesn't mean it's the only way.
01:31Come on.
