Episode 037 - Joey and Dell Do-Overs- How this Helped us Immensely
Joey and Dell Do-overs- How this helped us immensely No one goes into a new relationship dragging in their baggage, not knowingly at least. For us, our Cargo Freight sized luggage looked like this. One of us was used to trips and activities and events as their first marriage had no kids for many years. The other knew what life looked like with kids, sleepless nights, tight finances, and no fun in the first marriage. How did that play out now that we were together and trying to create a new life, relationship, and memories? For Dell, she was indeed the perpetrator of bitterness. She didn't go on many trips in her first marriage and lived with only having fun times on her annual girls' weekend. That was it. The rest of the years, 15 to be exact, was full of responsibilities. Joey had a different experience; he vacationed, partook in brunches and hikes on the weekends. He may not have had as much fun as Dell was imagining, but he definitely had more free time as he had kids much later in his first marriage. Fast forward to 2 people making a new relationship. The pains of memories and places would arise, or the stupid BS of jealousy would pop up. (Again, Dell, the perpetrator) There are all kinds of combinations of people with relationship pasts, so this story isn't unique, but the solution to this problem is. We intentionally made some choices that we know will help you going forward. Away from the negative into the positive!
