Balancing Hearts and Careers

What if your high school sweetheart truly shaped your future? In our latest episode of the Prime Example Podcast, we dive into the intricate world of high school relationships, sharing personal stories and insights that might just change the way you view young love. Valerie opens up about her enduring relationship from high school, while Leslie and her uncle reflect on their briefer and more varied experiences. We also take a detour to discuss the surprising financial disparities between living in California and Ohio and reminisce about the teachers who left a lasting impression on us—whether as role models or crushes.

Ever wondered why some relationships flourish while others fizzle out? We break down the nuances of relationship dynamics, from celebrating anniversaries to understanding love languages. Our conversation touches on the importance of reciprocal effort, avoiding complacency, and continuing the activities that first brought couples together. We also explore the concept of "settling" in relationships and the sacrifices one might make for love, like setting aside personal passions or dreams. Through a blend of personal experiences and thoughtful observations, we aim to provide actionable insights on maintaining a balanced and fulfilling partnership.

Balancing love and career is no easy feat, and our discussion doesn't shy away from the tough questions. We tackle the challenges of one partner bearing the financial load while the other pursues education or career goals, and the need for honest communication and mutual support. We wrap up on a lighter note, sharing our unique and sometimes surprising Mexican food preferences—because who knew guacamole could be so divisive? Tune in for a rich, spirited conversation that covers the highs and lows of relationships, career ambitions, and the simple joys of life.

Speaker 4 2:56

That's part of the thing . It's time for you to make friends and explore what you want , meet people , go out because if you're in a relationship , you don't really get to do much without hurting the other person's feelings , you know . Yeah , it's not like high school , there's just some situations where you want to be with just your friends , and when you're in a little situation where you're in a relationship , you can't do that .

Speaker 2 7:25

like how do you go ?

Speaker 1 7:26

now , I mean it's different , different circumstances , different opportunities and shit .

Speaker 2 7:31

So I feel like , if you , really , oh yeah , once you're grown up , you feel happy in school . You , you find a lot of people , a lot of different people yeah , oh , joshua came to podcast .

Speaker 1 7:42

He came to say what up , josh , you want to hop on the podcast ?

Speaker 2 7:47

What up ?

Speaker 1 7:48

He's currently in high school . You can sit down next to us .

Speaker 3 7:53

I'm going to shoot .

Speaker 1 7:55

But yeah , I think it's cool to date in high school for separate opportunities . For some other people , I feel like for me it would have been a distraction .

Speaker 2 8:04

It is a big distraction . And it sidetracks you a lot it does . You're worried about Valentine birthdays . Christmases , you know all that stuff .

Speaker 1 8:16

I mean , have you , ever since you've been with Tiffany , have you ever like forgot it was like an anniversary ?

Speaker 2 8:23

We're not married . Yeah , I forgot , I forget .

Speaker 1 8:25

No , not like .

Speaker 2 8:30

No , I know , the month is around October , but the day , all the days , they all kind of mushed into one . So you know , you get me All these years , you don't remember what day you did this ? What day ?

Speaker 4 8:38

It's all like , it's just like . You just forget .

Speaker 1 8:40

I know it was .

Speaker 2 8:40

October . Yes , Around Halloween time .

Speaker 4 8:44

You think it's a good idea to date .

Speaker 2 8:50

No , wait , wait , hold up , I'm not done , not done . Why would you get mad if , like your boyfriend , forgot when you guys got together ?

Speaker 1 8:53

no , because I don't even remember .

Speaker 2 8:54

Oh , okay , how about you guys ? No , it's just then . In that case , how I feel like that's not serious for you .

Speaker 4 9:00

There are , you doesn't say do you care ?

Speaker 1 9:02

then you're not taking it as serious no , no I do take it serious , but I think it's just because , um , since we both don't remember , because it just happened so quick , so we're just like , well , I don't think it matters .

Speaker 2 9:13

Me personally . I don't think it matters . It doesn't matter . There's a lot of people who do yeah .

Speaker 1 9:18

People are tedious about stuff like that . What about you ? What ?

Speaker 2 9:20

about you , Valerie .

Speaker 1 9:23

Wait , I need my batteries .

Speaker 3 9:27

Wait .

Speaker 1 9:29

With money wait like .

Speaker 3 9:30

If he forgets , then oh like , and then he like you know , you guys can't remember the day that you guys like at least something special spark in this .

Speaker 1 9:48

No , I remember , I I personally think I remember everything that happened that day and all that stuff . But a date is not like a thing . I memorize it's just some .

Speaker 4 9:56

Well , yeah , like not a day . There's people who'd be like oh well , I just keep up with all these things that you don't keep up with . You know how people be like oh , the small things do matter . And other people be like the small things don't know the small thing .

Speaker 2 10:06

I think that's what I'm saying .

Speaker 4 10:08

So , like for somebody , like to us , it would it could probably mean nothing to just remember the day . As long as you know other days are more special . But to that person it could be like , no , like , if you can't even remember that one day to me is so special , like , do you even love me ?

Speaker 2 10:21

it's just like , after how many years do you think it's fine to send it for you ?

Speaker 4 10:30

the day you got together or anniversary I mean , I think a lot of people do it every month , every people . The other people do it every year yeah , well , I feel that when you're very excited , you do like like puppy love is always like that for real yeah like you get so excited and be like oh my god . Like no but we've been together for 30 days , 40 weeks .

Speaker 2 10:48

No , that's only some people . There's been girls that are like that , though .

Speaker 1 10:52

Imagine being with a girl . Who's so in ?

Speaker 4 10:53

love with you like that , though , and then you don't give her the same energy . Her energy would feel so like unloved , because the way she's showing love is not . She feels like she's giving more .

Speaker 1 11:04

Yeah , because she's like I'm just it's not reciprocated .

Relationship Dynamics and Expectations

Speaker 4 11:06

Your birthday . I go all out Anniversaries like any time , like whatever , and then you're just like it's not that serious .

Speaker 2 11:13

Well , I mean , as long as I mean , yeah , you're right , you're pretty right , but I mean some people , you're probably right , there's other people who are like you too .

Speaker 4 11:20

Like , honestly , I'm kind of like that , like I don't really like a lot of .

Speaker 2 11:35

Yeah , I didn't remember a lot of situations . Yeah , I remember a lot of days and no , but as long as as they know that you appreciate them , I think it's fine .

Speaker 4 11:37

But yeah , but do something for them , like once a year , you know , like whatever , because some people you could just be like here's a hundred dollars and here's a big ass teddy bear and they're like okay , but you were at work for eight hours and I wanted us to be together , right like as long as yeah , yeah , so like say , if a day didn't matter , but they still gave you that option to be like , okay , I don't know those days , but we can make a day to where it's like you're going with the idea like , okay , days don't have to matter , but we can make up the time that what ?

Speaker 1 12:02

basically a love language , because some people don't like reciprocate , the same .

Speaker 2 12:05

Yeah , some people don't communicate by .

Speaker 4 12:07

Yeah , some people think something materialistic is gonna make up for the lost time and other people are like no , you gotta like , take me out and communicate like we have to have like a special yeah , to bond like yeah , like you know , like I think , like , where couples like where there's a person , like a woman that does something for her husband .

Speaker 3 12:24

I can't wait for them to like get home and they still like in the office , and like in the office and like . They end up , like you know .

Speaker 2 12:31

You mean , like everyone has to put a part of like their part , add to it 50-50 . Yeah , but yeah , that's the way it's supposed to be .

Speaker 4 12:40

And honestly I feel like a lot of people don't think 50-50 .

Speaker 1 12:51

Like people think like be like 50 . It don't have to be 50 50 because some people can't uphold their part a long time , but it's like when you're consistently doing it , then that's like a problem yeah , yeah , that's true too , that's true because some people could be given like on one , one anniversary , one year , but at least not all the time , yeah , but

Speaker 4 13:06

once you're going every year where you forget every anniversary or like like , let's say , for your anniversary , she and you tell her like oh , I love the playstation 4 . And she's like , oh , yeah , okay . And then on that day she goes and gets that for you . But she's been telling you for the longest something . And then you just be like oh fuck , I forgot . But let's go eat .

Speaker 4 13:22

And you're just like she's just looking at you like oh , but you forgot I mean 50 , 50 , and that situation could have been him taking her out to eat , giving her a box of chocolate yeah flowers and just making her feel like or just try to make the best of it that

Speaker 3 13:35

could have just been so , because sometimes guys can , but just being like just being , like oh , I'm tired .

Speaker 4 13:40

Or like oh , like you know what . Like no , because I don't have the money for that . Or like just little , like that's just like well , I know , like just to go out somewhere't have the money for it , like if my girl's going all out on one thing that I want , even if it's something materialistic , like let me make her day really special , you know , Because I don't have to make up for it 50-50 with buying her another gift . That costs $500 , too , you know .

Speaker 2 14:01

Yeah , that's true .

Speaker 1 14:10

How do you feel about it ? No , I think yeah , I feel like it works , depending the relationship , because some people I don't know some people just optimize the depending on the situation . They optimize what things they have in common and what people have their strengths in , because sometimes you lack something , but they have it like they understand that better than you do . So you guys work hand-in-hand together to figure out that situation , that's true .

Speaker 2 14:38

How old are you ?

Speaker 1 14:40

20 , 21 , yeah , yep , how long for you , things for you .

Speaker 2 14:41

So down , I'm not , I'm never settling .

Speaker 1 14:42

No , you're never no , what depends what you like ?

Speaker 2 14:47

you never know what was gonna come your way . You know what that's when you least expect it .

Speaker 4 14:52

I was you like . I was the one who was never gonna have kids . I was never gonna have none of that . And then look at me now .

Speaker 1 14:58

I don't but I don't consider having kids settling . I think settling is when you get too comfortable and yeah , you know , not even living together . It's that the fact that you're getting too comfortable where you guys are . You guys stop doing the things you guys used to do in the beginning . Like you stop going on dates . Yeah , you stop doing the things you like doing . Yeah , basically just stop your whole everything . Like stop hanging out with friends , stop doing things you like doing

Balancing Relationships and Career Goals

Speaker 1 15:20

. Like , say , if I started going with someone and I just start changing myself Basically , like stop doing art , stop doing tattoos .

Speaker 2 15:34

And I art stop doing tattoos and I just basically just had kids and stayed at home , but I could still do tattoos if I wanted to . Yeah , can you check on the kids please ?

Speaker 1 15:38

yeah , you can , just this one I don't think what's the name of that , okay , oh , but yeah , basically that like if I just that's considered settling for me , like basically stopping my whole world and all like the things I love doing outside of the relationship , that's me settling now believe what you're doing , though you're better now , I think , if somebody loves you , though they will never ask you to do some .

Speaker 4 15:54

Stop doing something you love to do not yet .

Speaker 1 15:56

I'm gonna wait for you to say something first okay , so what if that , the thing that had a passion for and it wasn't like working say , it's been like five years and you're like , okay , you need to like figure out how are you going to go about that ? Like , damn , you need to figure something else out . Like this ain't going to go for you , like you just know that they're not any good , but this is what they love doing . You're like you got to tell them , like this ain't going to be a career , but you got to do something else , Like if your person is not moving forward with his passion that he has .

Speaker 1 16:24

Yeah .

Speaker 4 16:26

I mean , I think it would be a time for you to be like , look , we needed to sit down and talk and then , like the most loving way , just be like look , man , this shit ain't working out like we need something that's gonna help us , like you know , but I mean don't say it exactly in those words sorry so you think , just saying it nicely , or like you're just gonna be like I think that if you love your person and your person loves you , your person won't take anything you say like in a way where you're like like being offensive or like being mean , like I think if they love you and they see that the financial situation is not getting better or something , I think they will understand that you put up or you're not put up , but like you try and you know wait or try as long as you could , and if things are not working out , then it's time to move over .

Speaker 4 17:16

You know yeah because , I mean , if you and him are already having financial problems and and you're telling him like look , you know , let's try this for a little bit longer , and , you know , nothing happens out of it , then maybe it's time for us to really like move forward , you know yeah , and then a couple months go by , or even if the situation situation is worse , then him as your person . He shouldn't want to see you struggle . He should want to be like you know what . This is just not working out .

Speaker 1 17:41

Let's do something else , because I don't want you to feel like you're the one as a single woman that's ever seen it yeah , I mean , I remember , I remember there's this I seen I don't remember if it was like on the YouTube or like a Netflix series , but basically there was like oh , I think they have kids in their life . Okay , so you go to school for a year or you get the degree and I'll stay at home , and they switched while he worked for a little bit , but he did like a part-time , I don't think people should do that . You don't think .

Speaker 4 18:13

No , you don't think no , because people change every day .

Speaker 4 18:14

Like you can wake up today and love this person and wake up the next day and not love that person and like vice versa . Like imagine you're staying at home taking care of your children and the reason I say this is because , like I've seen it a lot , you know , throughout the years , a lot of my friends like two of them actually where they went and like they went to school and then they had kids with somebody and they didn't go to college for that person . Or the girl went to college and the guy kind of stayed home and was like working , like heavy duty jobs and like making like that income . And then when she got close to finishing and she got her like little nursing thing going , her little gig , and she started making like so much money 25 , 30 an hour it was like , oh well , you know , like you're making money , I you have to work all these hours and you're not paying attention to me , so I cheated on you or type shit , you know . And then or vice the other way around .

Speaker 4 18:59

You know , now you're stuck with no career , a child , no credit , no oh , basically everything changes , so yeah I think if you guys love each other , I think you guys would basically be like look , let's both go to school , but also let's rotate our times where , like you get , you get um , a 40-hour shift and you get a 20-hour shift one weekend , and I get another 20-hour shift the next week and you get a 40-hour yeah you know what I'm saying like so nobody's getting more than the other one .

Speaker 4 19:23

Because , like that , if you guys were to go each other's separate ways , at least you guys have something to show for , and that look like at least we work together and I was able to get this and he was able to get that . And like you know , because imagine , like , if he's the one doing everything for you and then one day you just get tired of the situation you're in with him and then you leave him or he leaves you , and then you're like stuck with all the bills on your own and like struggling even more now because you don't have nobody to help you with a child or whatever it is you you know .

Speaker 1 19:50

So what makes you think Okay , so what are the top three things you guys believe that makes relationships like go

Navigating Relationships and Parenthood

Speaker 1 19:57

downhill ? Like when do you start seeing that ? Like what's the three things that lead to it ? For ?

Speaker 3 20:02

sure lack of sex .

Speaker 2 20:04

Yes , lack of sex , Having children too young , I think .

Speaker 4 20:08

Yeah , having children too young is definitely a good one . I think that one .

Speaker 2 20:11

Having kids too young ? I think , yeah , having children too young is definitely a good one .

Speaker 4 20:14

I'm having kids too young and having children with multiple people also , just because imagine having kids what was ?

Speaker 1 20:20

it what are like the . What was the last one you said ?

Speaker 2 20:24

having kids , having kids with , okay , okay yeah , having kids with multiple people , that messes things up yes , because you know like co-parenting is not easy , so imagine having to do it with a parent , oh like if you got with someone else and they had kids and then they all come together , yeah , and I'm like when you have kids .

Speaker 4 20:39

You always have to take your kids's feelings into like consideration first yeah , yeah , yeah , like , and that's hard too , because , like sometimes , like your kids don't understand a lot , and sometimes but it's not about that , because your kids come first , even at the but in a lot of situations us parents get with people who don't have children , so they don't understand a lot of the stuff we do . I've seen like and then they feel like we're not understanding them . But then to us it's like the other way around you know ?

Speaker 2 21:06

Yeah , that's how it is .

Speaker 4 21:07

Because there's a lot of people who get in relationships with people and they're like , oh , why is they're paying so much attention to that woman ? Yeah , baby daddy and it's like no , it's because the kid or whatever you know . But people like , oh , I can handle it , but like no , you can't . If you can't handle a girl's past when you get with her , what makes you think you'll handle her a whole baby daddy ? And like , yeah , you know what about you ?

Speaker 2 21:25

what do you think makes a relationship work ? What are the three top things ? That makes a relationship work work uh communication yeah , that's , that's , that's a good one .

Speaker 1 21:34

That's definitely communication , yeah , and reinsurance what do you mean ? Basically because the other person can be lacking , like most of the time . A lot of females need reinsurance , knowing that you're gonna be there okay , yeah and some guys just be clueless and just be like , oh she knows , they don't know .

Speaker 2 21:51

And then men , just can't read our minds basically . That's why you have to go into a relationship knowing what you're getting into .

Speaker 1 21:57

You know the person and then I say knowing , and I feel like this is always . Should we keep in mind that you should love yourself more to be able to be capable of leaving . You have to love yourself .

Speaker 1 22:17

When you're in a relationship , I feel like that shows more of who you are as a person too , because you're gonna be conflicting .

Speaker 1 22:22

So if you see something wrong , but sometimes it's like me self-reflecting , like oh , I'm seeing this wrong with me , so like I try to pin it on them and regardless of what they're doing .

Speaker 2 22:42

Yeah , I know what you mean . I've gone through something like that .
