Michelle: Do I ever surprise you about my past? It’s something that bothers me or I have an issue with it or I worry about stuff coming up from the past because I know most of it.

The other thing is you were clear with me right at the beginning of our relationship that Love Over Addiction is something you really wanted to do and it’s been an endeavor of love for you for 10 years. It’s very, very important to you, and I know that. I have a past and we’ve been together for 10 years and I love you and I’m hugely supportive of Love Over Addiction. She wants to know how you view my job with Love Over Addiction since so much of my past is what I talk about and does that affect you? How do you view my job with Love Over Addiction?īrian: It doesn’t affect me in the sense of your past being your past. We’ve got all of these questions and this is a question from Lorianne. Michelle: First of all, I want to talk about how you view my job. Just pretend we’re in the living room having a casual conversation. I see you trying and that’s a value that I’ve seen you instill in our kids.

One of the reasons why I fell in love with you though is because you truly are one of the most honest people I’ve ever met in my entire life. Michelle: I am really grateful that you’re doing this and there’s no wrong answers here. I do think that with age you stop caring so much what other people think. For the next half of my life I want to be a lot more open and vulnerable with people. It initiates a connection with people and I’ve spent most of my life kind of being very guarded. It feels vulnerable for me too, but I think as we’re getting older we need to be bolder with our feelings and a little bit more vulnerable with people. Michelle: It feels vulnerable for me too. Michelle: Me too, so this feels very vulnerable. Michelle: Would you consider yourself a private person? Michelle: Are you feeling mildly uncomfortable?īrian: I work in a business where I don’t have to be spontaneous. Michelle: Thank you for agreeing to do this. Listen (or read the transcript) for a loving conversation with my husband and me. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be in a new relationship after years of loving someone suffering from addiction? What it’s like to be with a sober man? What it’s like for that man to love a woman who’s experienced so much trauma? My husband, or “current” husband (that will make more sense once you listen) is on with me today. Today we’re trying something really different. (If you missed it, here is Episode 1 and Episode 2.) It’s where women in our community send me questions they’d like to know the answers to.
