This is a great topic is we are going to be talking about vacation planning. That's right and vacation but who doesn't love a good vacation? I love it. Okay. But you know, it is different now. I have to tell you, the lingo being different. It's not just less of a lack of places to go to, you know,

to get murdered.

But like, you know, when I was with x, I was in charge of the vacation planning. Sure. I mean, also because I'm a Virgo and I was mostly because you're very controlled mo very controlling me. This is why you love me and why I love you. But now being single, and I get invited with things with you and art. Yeah, you know, I'm just kind of part of your plan. So now I can add to the trip, like adventures, but I'm not really in charge of them kind of boohoo do whatever you guys decide.

I mean, here's, here's what I'm going to say back when I was single, in 26 ad.

I always thought and it was true is that to me traveling your first weekend away or whatever, to me. It's a big deal, right? It's a make or break of a relationship. Because it doesn't matter how nice the person's been or how cool or how clean or whatever. When you traveled together. That's a 24 seven, right? You're in a new place. Sometimes places neither one of you've ever been And you're discovering something new together and your behavior, it's much harder to hide. If you're like a real asshole, you're at your limits. And it's like, Okay, well, let's see who this real person is. So for me when I was still dating, you know, when I still was relevant and that working vagina, what was that moment was that moment is like, Okay, cool.

This is our test. Here's our test.
