My divorce, it took me 10 years after my splitting for my partner and having my daughter that we chose to get divorced because we both had different partners and I wanted the best for my daughter.
00:00:15.580
So when I got divorced, I'd already split for my partner and I'd already been living in London for a long time.
00:00:29.800
So I used to be able to go home to my partner's house and I'd stay with them and have Christmas dinner with them and I'd stay in my daughter's room.
00:00:37.720
And I had the, you know, I can't say everyone would have this, but I was quite fortunate that I had that relationship because I wanted the best for my daughter.
00:00:46.100
But do you not think the best for your daughter would have been to stay with her father?
00:00:49.420
No, not if two people are not truly in love with each other and she sees us argue every day.
00:00:55.240
Wouldn't a better solution to be, wouldn't a better solution be to just not argue every day?
00:01:03.460
When you have children and you get yourself into that position and you truly don't, then you come back and let's have this podcast again.
00:01:11.500
Let's answer that question again because I don't think.
00:01:15.380
Like, I understand I don't have kids and you keep bringing this up.
00:01:19.920
So, so my question is, wouldn't a better solution be to just not argue every day for the kids?
00:01:36.780
What I did, what was the best for my child when I split up is that me and my partner had the best relationship.
00:01:46.460
So I played the role of the father as the mother and the father and I spent every month with my daughter.
00:01:56.560
I made sure she was okay from every day up until she was 18 years old.
00:02:00.880
I made sure she's had everything and she's still here with me now.
00:02:04.160
And I don't know how many fathers can truly say, actually, even if they do that.
00:02:10.880
So you're saying you paid 100% for your son or your daughter?
00:02:16.880
Okay, and he didn't pay at all or did he have her?
00:02:21.880
So rather than the father going off and leave, the mother went off and worked.
00:02:30.060
I was very fortunate as well because Nedda's dad, my ex, he always, I mean, the first two, three years, obviously because of divorce, we were going through, you know, madness up and down.
00:02:39.740
But after two, three years that I settled down with her and he, he was saying, actually, I'm not divorced because I want to go around and look for boys.
00:02:49.040
He actually, he actually realized I'm a really good mom.
00:02:52.100
And we had a great, we, right now he's my best friend.
00:03:00.720
It almost seems like it could have been worked out if they were your best friends.
00:03:20.580
Because like, right now you're happily married and you've got two children.
00:03:28.340
I'm going to say, I didn't do everything that I could have done to make sure that we
00:03:33.720
It got to a point where it could have gotten really bad.
00:03:41.120
Like, you've got to take some personal responsibility instead of saying it's not possible.
00:03:44.160
Because I don't want people her age to listen to us and be like, oh, well, if it doesn't
00:03:49.460
work out and we argue, let's just have a relationship.
00:03:54.440
Like, look, I didn't have the strength at the time.
00:03:57.500
My grandma, who's 90 years old, told me just the other day, like two weeks ago, yeah,
00:04:02.340
that me and my wife need to stay together, regardless of anything, just for the sake
00:04:06.880
of the fact that we have a three-year-old daughter.
00:04:08.060
And I appreciate, you know what, you know what, you just hit the nail on the head because
00:04:11.020
I appreciate what your grandma said at 90 years old.
00:04:20.940
If my wife is going to be tempted by social media.
00:04:26.380
By a glass mirror, by the black mirror, then she doesn't interview my wife.
00:04:32.360
It's our social lifestyle to, if you look at the traditional marriage, to look at a traditional
00:04:39.140
Is that more important than working on your relationship?
00:04:43.780
Really, is Instagram really that much more important?
00:04:45.760
Is living your social life that much more important?
00:04:48.340
But how social is it if you're just on your phone scrolling?
00:04:50.700
It's not like you're out with other people, you know what I mean?
00:04:52.100
I'm sorry, but 20 years ago, I didn't have a phone to scroll on.
00:04:59.440
No, it didn't work that way because we just weren't compatible.
00:05:04.520
You're going to think you sat in the other and had a conversation?
00:05:06.640
There's people, okay, there's people that think they're compatible.
00:05:13.740
I think there's going to be millions of people that are going to ask you why you think that
00:05:19.560
they've done wrong and they're going to come and say to you, good luck to you right now.
00:05:23.680
Will you be your marriage and your two children?
00:05:34.180
Like what his grandma said, like you've got to do whatever it takes, not just to stay married,
00:05:43.540
Yeah, I didn't break up because of my daughter because I didn't want her to see the arguments.
00:05:49.560
You're talking about, okay, so let's take, you're going to take.
00:05:52.340
And that's more of a traditional thing to stay together for the sake of the child.
00:05:56.960
Okay, okay, okay, okay, lady, lady, lady, lady, okay, okay, lady, lady, okay, she's got to go.
00:06:20.240
If you put your hands on me, I'll hold the police.
00:07:07.880
From whatever happened between you two, I knew.
00:07:10.880
I told her, I said, I don't know what I said to her, I said, can't stand.
00:07:15.840
Because she spoke to me in a certain tone, I just said to her, calm down.
00:07:18.480
Yeah, you set her straight still, I heard that.
00:07:20.600
And then she tried it, and I went, I'm not upset with you.
00:07:26.540
Yeah, she's been trying to rattle people's cage from the start, you know.
00:07:35.120
All right, I think the show starts now, Perley.
00:07:38.900
Because you're combining in the answers to what people will give up for social media or for their relationship.
00:07:48.360
You've got a dangerous smile, you've got to stop smiling over here.
00:08:17.180
Matthew said it was going to go viral today, as well, you know.
00:08:42.320
You just been throwing out random bags in there, yeah?
00:09:09.860
I thought you were going to get her out much sooner, but...
00:09:19.420
Just to help out with the show, I'm happy to sit in the middle there.
00:09:26.200
Yeah, guys, they're going to make sure that she's not giving her...
00:09:29.600
Like, she's going to give her stuff and just make sure it's not yours.
00:10:00.780
I'm sure in the docusign, it indemnifies my man from anything anyway.
00:10:37.040
