  Speaker 1: Hi, guys, welcome back to I Do Part two, the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: podcast for people that maybe got love wrong the first time,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: or the second time, or the third or fourth time,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and now find themselves back out there looking for love.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: My name is Jennifer Fessler, and you may or may
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: not know me from the Housewives of New Jersey. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: also have a podcast that I co host with Jackie
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Goldschander from the Housewives of New Jersey. It's called Two
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Jersey Jays, and I am honored to the hosting I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Do Part two today. I'm a huge fan of all
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of the founders of this podcast, Amy Robot, TJ. Holmes,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Jenny Garth, Jenna Kramer. I know you guys know them,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and I also am a big fan of the open
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and honest and telling your story. And I don't know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I feel privileged to have been asked to tell mine.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I hope that you guys who are listening can relate
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to some of it. It is like every other story.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It is a sad story, sometimes difficult to tell, but
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ultimately the good news is it has a very happy ending.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I spoke about my love story, my marriage.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I spoke about it on Housewives a little bit in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: season thirteen, maybe even into season fourteen, but not really
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the details of it. So I'm just going to share.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been married for twenty five years, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: two of those years were really really difficult, and actually
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: my husband and I separated. But I'm getting way ahead
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of myself, so I will give you a little bit
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of information just about me. I grew up as the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: product of divorce, for sure. So my parents divorced when
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I was three years old, and so I you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that heart of my life, really, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that they both got remarried, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: they both got divorced again and remarried, and then my
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: second stepfather passed away. I have a third stepfather now,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and my steck at my dad got divorced again and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: then married again and divorced again. So I am certainly
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: an expert when it comes to parents getting divorced. And
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you would think that my own experience, well, I'm sure
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it was affected by that, but you would think that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that would have been really helpful. But when I was
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: separated and considering divorce, but everything is God. You know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you do the best you can during difficult times. But
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: so my childhood was not idyllic by any stretch of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the imagination. My parents didn't speak to each other. There
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: really wasn't like a co parenting situation. I lived my
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: mom when she got remarried. We moved to Sugarland, Texas
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of all places, and my dad was living in New
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: York City, and I guess you know, we went. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: have sister. I have one sister through my dad and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: my mom. I have two brothers from my dad and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a stepmother who's no longer my stepmother. And then I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: have a sister from my father and his third wife.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: That sister is actually younger than my daughter. It's a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: whole dysfunctional, fed up mess. But anyway, so I come
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: from a lot of chaos, and my parents and certainly
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: did not get along. They didn't really speak, and we
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: were shuttled back and forth a lot of craziness. So
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you know, when I met my husband, I well, first
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of all, I was dying to have babies and get married,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: even after all of the chaos that you know I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: had been through as a kid. I really that biological
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: clock was kicking. I met Jeff and I was the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: director of a dating service called It's Just Lunch and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the premise behind It's Just Lunch I actually think it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: still exists, was that professionals are really, really busy and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: nobody has time for dinner, necessarily on a first date,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and how about we just meet up for lunch or
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a drink, see if there's a spark and move on.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So I was the director and which was really a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: crazy job, but that's for another episode. I was the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: director of this dating service and trying to get my
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: numbers up and get people to join, and reached out
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to uh, Jeff Fessler because he had been a client
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: before I got there and his membership had expired. So
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: called him up one day and my name is Jen
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and I would love to meet you. I know you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: were a member and your membership has expired. And he's like, no,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: thank you. It wasn't great for me, I'm not interested.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And being Jeff Fesslor, I was able to persuade him
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and you know, you haven't met me yet. I'm the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: new director, and I think that you know, you can
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have a different experience anyway, So he came in like
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that afternoon.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And he joined. He joined again.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But the interesting part of that was that he said,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know you have all these questions you have to ask,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: like what are you looking for? What are you looking for?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You know, mentally, emotionally, physically, and he's like, what am
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I looking for?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Looking mirror?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And if you know Jeff, if any of you've ever
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: watched The Housewives or seen him on it, he's that's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: not really his personality. He's he's very introverted, sort of shy.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And so I didn't realize at the time what a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: big deal that was. But so I said, no, sorry,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I have a boyfriend, which I didn't. I was not
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: attracted to him, not that he wasn't attractive. I just
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: didn't have a spark, and not to mention the fact
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that I was, you know, I was working for this
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: company and really shouldn't be dating my clients. But that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was probably second to the fact that I didn't think.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: There was a connection.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Anyway, he was very persistent and started calling me at
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: work and please, let's get together. We can just be friends,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and like, I just it's funny because I met him
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for a drink and he walked into we had a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: drink at the Four Seasons on fifty seventh Street. Anyway,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: he walked in and I thought, not for me. Jeff
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is five five. He likes to say he's five six.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And the only thing I cared about for sure at
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that time when people would fix me up on blind
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: dates was that he had to be tall, because I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: always had sort of like this complex about being a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: bigger girl, and you know, careful what you wish for,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and what is that saying? We wait, we do something,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and God laughs, we plan and God laughs. Anyway, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: we became friends, but he was always still interested and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I wasn't. But we played that little game and still
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: hung out, and eventually I told him i'd fix him up.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I am the director of this dating service,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So come in and we'll talk, and I'll show you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: some pictures of some of the women and tell me
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: who you like. And so he did that, and the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: second he started to pick out those women that he liked,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I started to get really annoyed and I was like,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: excuse me, you are in love with me?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: What is happening here?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So I started to feel something for Jeff, and at
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the time, I was dating someone else. Trying to kind
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of wrap this up pretty quickly this part of the story,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you guys, but long story short on one particular day
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I kissed the guy I was dating, and I kissed
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Jeff Fessler, and I was.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, it's Jeff Fessler. It is not this guy.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And very quickly I was like, wait, wait, wait, I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: love Jeff Fessler. And very quickly after that we were engaged.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Very quickly after that, we were married. Very quickly after that,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we were pregnant. And so once I realized that he
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was the one, he had kind of figured it out
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: before I did. I just I was like, you know, amen,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's start. Let's get this part of my life,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: rolling the family, the house in the suburbs, all of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: It was so.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Exciting that time in my life. And you know, we'd
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: been really really close friends for a while, and once that,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: once I kind of crossed over into falling in love
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: with Jeff, it was of course, it was more exciting
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and different. But the basis of our relationship was always
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that we were best friends. And today I would tell
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you that that is the most important part of me
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and Jeff Fessler. I mean, we are family and he
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: is everything to me. But I just I had that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: with him always. I still have it today, and I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: tell my kids all the time how important that is
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to not just fall in love and have you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all of the pheromones and the hormones and the you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: sparks and that kind of a sexual connection. But also
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I really like the person you decide to spend your
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: life with right and to respect that person. And I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: felt all of that for Jeff Fessler. So we get married,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and we do the newlywed thing, we do the new
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: parents thing, and four months after we got married, I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was pregnant and gave birth to my son in two thousand.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and two, I gave birth to my daughter, and.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Was you know, just.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say playing that role. It's not
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: it's really not the way it felt. I was living
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that life. I was just everything was about, you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the babies and Jeff and our new family. And I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: guess like seven years into the marriage, well, things probably
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: started to change before that. Maybe they started to change
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit year five. I don't know, but I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I started hanging out with friends who loved going out
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: on Thursday nights in my town and we would go
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: out to whatever local restaurant or bar and we would
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: drink and we would flirt with guys and there wasn't
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: anything specific happening. I wasn't I didn't have an affair,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: but I sort of like started to check out a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: little bit and I started to crave that attention that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I did for years from men. I had lots of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: daddy issues, but I always felt the need to draw
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a man's attention. And you know the beginning when you
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: have little babies, I wasn't feeling that as much, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I was like I started
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to started to need attention from men again, and so
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like a thing. I mean, I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: don't know how I found this group of women that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: also wanted to go out on Thursday nights. Because you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: my best friends who are still my best friends today,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of them have been divorced, but there are
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: some of them that didn't really crave that. I don't
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: know if that's just where I was at in my
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: life and Jeff and I were not connecting. He was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: working crazy long hours. He was an associate who was
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: trying to make partner and at a law firm as
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a lawyer, and so he was traveling all the time
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and you know, I used to with the kids and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: another friend of mine know, his husband was traveling all
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the time. We always said we were like sister wives,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and it was like, you know, four kids together and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the two of us getting them through anyway. So I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: was out there as my point and my marriage was
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: definitely not my priority at that time, and it wasn't
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: for Jeff either, and so, you know, we were just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: not connecting. We were not connecting on an emotional level,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and we were not connecting on a physical level. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: eventually I discovered at about year seven, I guess that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Jeff had an affair, and yeah, that was that was
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a hard day. Podcast is not long enough for me
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to get into all of the details of it all,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: but I will tell you that it was a very
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: strange thing. This woman that Jeff was involved with and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I had this conversation and I don't know, I knew
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: almost immediately that something was up. But that's not the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: point of this whole big picture story. But I, as
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you would expect, completely lost my mind. I'm saying all
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of this to you first about my going out on
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Thursday nights and the headspace I was in because I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: do believe that if it was just a matter of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: time before it was me. And so everybody, you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: got so much feedback and advice, and I remember, just
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: like my mom saying, how could you stay with him?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: But I guess I knew there was a part of
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: me that knew that that not only does it take
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: too But I almost felt lucky that it was him first,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: because I could place all the blame on him. But
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I had been flirting with other guys and whatever. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know that I was headed in that direction. Once I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: discovered that Jeff had had an affair, we probably spent
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I guess about a year still together. And this summer
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: after it happened, I said to him, I'm going to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Florida because I'd had lots of friends in Florida. My
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: sister was in Florida. I'm taking the kids for the summer,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and I just need some space. This was not a separation,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: This was just I just want to go to Florida.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I want to, you know, be by my friends, be
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: by my sister. Found a little rental, went to Florida,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and not only found a little rental, found myself a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: little boyfriend. And so the end of that summer I'll
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: never forget. Jeff came to visit and I told him
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that I wanted a separation. And it's interesting because I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: remember when he came to visit and we actually took
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the kids to Disney, and when he left, I just
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: will never forget my son, just being so distraught. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: want to go home, I want daddy. You know, I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: didn't factor in when I got separated. I guess because
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I had been through so much divorce. I didn't factor
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and how hard it was going to be, not only
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: on my kids, but to watch my kids in that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: kind of pain. You know, they weren't. My parents were
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: divorced when I was three, and then they got divorced
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: again and again and again and again, and so you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: my mind, kids are resilient, but it was a whole
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: other level of difficult. And you know, I think probably
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: every mother and father feels that. Right when heard it
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: said that, like when you're getting divorced, you get to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the point if you go through with your divorce, where
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: nothing matters except that you can't be with this person
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: anymore because it's so hard. It's so hard, especially if
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you have kids. Well it's hard even if you don't, obviously,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: but it's so hard to watch your kids go through
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: this with you, and so I guess I think a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: lot of people get to the point where they're like, Okay, listen,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the kids are resilient. I don't care about the money,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I don't care about being alone. I just can't be
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: in this marriage anymore. But that was not the case
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: with me or Jeff. So but I had this boyfriend,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and I was convinced that, you know, it was time
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and that I on it a divorce. So I went
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: back to Jersey and Jeff moved out and he moved
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: into New York City and was distraught, I have to say,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and the boyfriend, my boyfriend at the time, moved to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Jersey from Florida. I did so many things wrong, you guys,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that I wouldn't not do again and that I'm sorry for,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: even though in the end there's a happy ending. But
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I was so caught up in this feeling
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of my heart racing from this guy, and you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: he's a nice guy.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: He was a very nice guy.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And this passion that I was feeling and that just
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: took over in a way, and I would have I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: had to do it again, I would have slowed things
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: way down and I would have, you know, potentially just happened.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: It all seemed to happen so fast, and him moving
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to New Jersey and introducing him to my kids and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you know, them forming a relationship. So you know, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: live and learn. And the thing is, though, you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Jeff and I were separated for a year and a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: half going on two. But the whole time we were separated,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: we just didn't seem to move forward in the divorce proceedings.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: So we got a mediator, and which was an easy
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: choice to make because there wasn't a lot of animosity
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: there anything. There was just like I just felt so
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: sad and so badly because Jeff really did not want
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to get divorced, although we did. He got a girlfriend also,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: but we would like I don't know, there was no
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: screaming at each other over money. I remember at one
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: point I said to him, listen, I'm not worried. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: don't we don't need a lawyer because I know you,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I know your heart, I know what kind of father
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you are. I'm not at all worried that you're gonna
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: screw me. I trust you, and I'm sure that people
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: everywhere friends I don't remember at the time, they were
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: probably like, you're you're a freaking idiot. But I just
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I knew him. I know Jeff Wessler, and so we
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: didn't like, we weren't at each other's throats. When the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: kids would call UH to complain about I don't know
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: daddy said this or Daddy did that. I was sort
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: of like, honey, you died the wrong number. Do not
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: complain about your father to me. And you know, he
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: was the same. We were just very respectful of each
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: other and sad and just very very sad. And eventually
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: there's a lot that that went down. But eventually we
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: were both on vacation. Jeff took the kids to beaches
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in Jamaica maybe and I at that time went to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Saint Bart's, very glamorous with my boyfriend. And the whole
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: time I was there, I was so sad. And it
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with this guy. Again, perfectly lovely, guy,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: treated me very well, but I just missed my family.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And when I would talk to Jeff and the kids,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and they were in a whole different they
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: were at all inclusive, and I don't know I was
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: at this glamorous hotel, it was like, you know, a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: fortune and hob nobbing with the rich and famous, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: all I wanted to do was like be at the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: buffet at beaches in Jamaica, and I just, I guess
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I just missed Jeff. I just missed him terribly. So
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: got back from vacation and would like lie to my
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: boyfriend and tell him I was going to go into mediation.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile I was like meeting Jeff at Chili's and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: just talking, and you know, he was so certain that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: we were making a mistake the whole time, and I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: think I was. I also, I knew in my heart
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that it was a mistake, because again, it's not easy
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to get divorced. I think that most people, maybe not everyone,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: but most people that do, they're they're pretty positive, right,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And I just didn't want to live my life without Jeffessler.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And there were so many reasons for it. Jeff Fessler
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: made and makes me feel safe and makes me feel peaceful.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I heard said this maybe mel Robbins said something once.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: It resonated with me, and it was that he's, like
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: she said, don't wish to fall madly in love, wish
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to fall peacefully in love. And I know, like at
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the beginning of any relationship, there's the sparks fly, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: there's all of that energy, and you know, excitement and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: crazy sex and all of that, not always but hopefully.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: But I would say, and I have said to my kids,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: all of that after a while, it's not that it
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: goes away entirely, but life gets real. And so that
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: did definitely dissipate for us that excitement and life got real,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and I think that we both were looking for that
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: excitement again as opposed to looking to each other to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: find it and to put it back into our marriage.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I say all this to you, by the way, I'm
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: not a marriage counselor this is just I'm just this
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: is just you know, my experience. But we again, we
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: went to Chili's and then it was Valentine's Day and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: he bought me these little earrings and it was like, okay, enough,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: this is clearly we are not ready to get divorced.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: But we also knew that we couldn't get back together
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and then have it happen again. Right, you can't do
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that to your kids again. So we had long conversations
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and I just knew that I didn't want to live
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: my life without Jeff Fessler it not only in it,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: but you know, as my husband, and so we made
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: that decision and try again. I remember we went my
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: kids always went to Sleepway Camp and we went to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: visiting day and we sat down and we're like, you know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: we have to tell you something.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: We are getting back together.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And I just remember them staring at us and like
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: it was like you, guys, I promise, I promise you,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: this is not going to happen again. And I don't
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: remember the exact words that I use, but you know
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: they were confused, of course, and happy, of course. And
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: we sold our house because it was just time for
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a fresh start and same town, moved into a new
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: house and actually we're in our third house here in
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Upper Saltle River where we live, and we started again.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So let me just say, of all, I am not
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: suggesting that anyone following the path that Jefffessler and I did,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that separation for sure is the answer.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I can only speak from my own experience and say
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that things changed, and they changed for better. It's funny
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: because in my town, like a lot of small suburban towns,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: everybody talks, right. So like when we got separated, everybody talked.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: When you know, everybody knew about our infidelity, and everybody
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: knew when I had the new boyfriend and whatever. But
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: when we got back together, I think that's probably when
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: people started talking the most. And I started getting phone
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: calls from a lot of women confidentially reaching out and saying, listen,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I you know whatever, I really am not I want
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to get separated, but I'm not sure I want to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: get divorced or women that were separated, and how'd you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: do it?
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: What did you do?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: How did you manage to get back together? And I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: don't even know, and I didn't know then. I really
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: don't know now if there's a clear cut answer. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: just I couldn't divorce him. I thank God because I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: feel blessed every day that our marriage survived and that,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you know, our family is intact. But I just didn't
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: have that conviction. I guess that I wanted to live
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: without my husband, and we were both humble enough to also.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: We went to therapy, of course, and I admit our
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: mistakes and talk about the infidelities and talk about, you know,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: where things went wrong and how we took each other
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: for granted, and so yeah, so we got back together
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and life began again. We've been married for twenty five years,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and so I'll tell you that my marriage is not perfect,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and I am certainly not perfect. I am the biggest
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: pain in the ass. Jeff is close to perfect. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: would say that he's an amazing father, and he is
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: an amazing man, just a good man. If any of
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you at there are Jewish or no, the word mentch,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that's what Jeff is.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Good man.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And I'm very lucky and he puts up with a
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: lot of shit. I am messy, I am at times lazy, cranky, nasty,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and my husband is very very patient. He's not perfect either,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: so let me say that. And he can also drive
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: me crazy. But I see in him I feel it
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: has this. I feel lucky all the time, I feel
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: like very I feel just very lessed. So fast forward,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I guess all these years, I will tell you that
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Jeff and I are not We are not guided by
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: this spar I use that word. I hope you guys
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: relate to it. In other words, we ain't hanging from
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the chandeliers, right, We're not like And that's not to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: say that I'm not trying to put down our sex
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: life or our connection. I'm just trying to be real
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and tell you that those things are good, but they
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: are not we are I am fifty six, Jeff is
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: sixty two years old. So that is not our priority.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And people, you know a lot of people would disagree
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: with me and do disagree with me that that has
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to be a huge priority, right, sex and date night
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and connection, and we're together all the time obviously, but
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know that our marriage is based on that stuff.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And that's not to say I don't know if it's good, bad,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: or I don't know. I'm just this is what is
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: for us, and we are to this day. We are
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: best friends. We are parents of these, you know, two
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: incredible people. And you know, my sister has been through
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: divorce and many many of my friends have. But she
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: always says to me that she's specifically because of the kids.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: She's I don't know, jealous is the right word. She's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: my sister, but she wishes that she had family unit
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and that it's so nice to you know, be able
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to eat together, the four of us after all of
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: these years, and so I feel very very lucky about that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: No one will love to love your kids as much
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: as your as much as their father or their mother.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: You know, you're whoever you made them with, and nobody's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: ever going to be as invested right as the two
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: of you. But things are different now, oh god, they
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: are so different now, certainly than before we were separated.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But even you know, over the years things have changed
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and we're getting older, and so you know, when people
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: ask about the state of my marriage, like, I always
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: talk about the stuff that I love about it. I mean,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I can tell you things I don't love about it,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: but the things that I love about it. So I
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: love going on vacation with Jeff Essler. We've traveled a
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: lot together, and what I love about it is that
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: we've developed this rhythm and we kind of like he
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: knows and I know exactly when we go on vacation.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: We plan it all around the three meals every day.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Where are we eating breakfast, luncheon, dinner. And we are
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: like when I say foodies, I don't mean we're fancy,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: We're not, but we are both well, that's what we
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: care about the most is where are we eating? Of course,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the sight seeing, of course, seeing different places, meeting different people,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: but there's a limit to that. Because we know that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: we know that I'm done after the morning of sight seeing,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: like that the afternoon has to be you know, chill
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and whatever that looks like. And that we're going to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: go out to dinner early because I need to be
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in bed by ten. And Jeff has adopted that way
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: of vacationing and he's also like that. Now you know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We have a rhythm and we we
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: understand each other. We laugh a lot. We also fight.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know about a lot, but we definitely fight.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: We laugh a lot.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It's there's this I don't there's this piece in my
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: house that I did not have growing up and shout
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: out to peace. So so funny. My friends who are single,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I've set them up. I try to, and I say,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of them who are my age yet
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a little younger, a little older, and sometimes they don't
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: connect with whoever they're dating, and you know, on the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: first date or the second date, and you know, there's
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of I don't know, I don't see myself
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: having sex with them, or I don't see my heart's
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: not racing.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I'm and I could be wrong about this, but if
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I was single. Now, what I'd be looking for is
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: not necessarily that spark. I think that's great if you
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: find it. I'd be looking for.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Peace.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I'd be looking for companionship. I'd be looking for someone
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: whose life views matched my own, someone that I could
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: have fun with and who is solid, and who would
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: like Jeff actually, interestingly, interestingly enough, comes from the opposite
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: childhood that I had. His parents were married for over
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: fifty years. Two of the most wonderful humans that have
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: ever walked the face of this earth. Max and Phyllis
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Wessler were just everything. I get choked up even talking
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: about them. They had the most beautiful marriage and he
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: just lived and died for her the same. But she
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: felt the same. But she had a lot of health
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: issues and he just always took care of her. And
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: he set this example. I think, for Jeff, you know
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of what a good husband looks like, and I you know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: people you know I'm honest about Jeff's affair and about then.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I had my own fairs plural. But Jeff is the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: kind of husband that just shows up period and shows
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: up for his kids.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Help.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I think I'm all over the place, you guys, excuse
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: me if I am, but like you know, this is
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know why the story is popping into my head.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: But when my son was graduating middle school, Jeff had
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: won this award, this huge award. He won Lawyer of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the Year. He's a securities attorneys, so like in his area,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I want to say, City Bank sponsored this. It was
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a huge event where he was being honored and it
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: fell on the same day as middle school graduation. And
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, Jeff, I'm sorry, but Zach's not going
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to make his middle school graduation either. We're going We're
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: going to this gala honoring you. And for me, there
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: was no question. I was like, this is a once
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in a lifetime and he was not having it and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: he had have someone from his office be there to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: take his place. And I'm bragging about that because I'm
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: so proud of that that because I know that if
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: it was me and someone was honoring me for being
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the best friend of a housewife ever, they could have
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: been graduating from college. We were going to that party.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And so I bring other things to the table. But
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I am a little on the a little on the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: selfish side, but you know, that's that's just who he is.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: And so today. Here we are, you know, we are
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: in our are you know, golden years. I don't know.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: We're middle age, little older than middle age now, and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: life is hard and it has dealt us blows like
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: it does us all and we do the best we
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: can and we fight, and we have unhappy moments and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: unhappy periods of time. But I don't know, I feel very,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: very lucky to have made my marriage work. And you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to know that I'm growing old with this person who
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: is just he's just so nice to me. I mean,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it sounds so silly, right, but he is. He's so
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: nice to me, and I try to be so nice
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: to him and just appreciate him. And we're very different,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: you know. I'm I am outgoing, I'm an extrovert. Jeff's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: an introvert. I remember at the beginning of our marriage
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: used to really annoy me because we would go out
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: with other couples and Jeff was very quiet. He is
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: very quiet, not at home at all and not in work,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: but he socially he can be and so he wouldn't
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: say much.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: And I used to get bess it fights on the
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: way home.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: And now it's like I don't give a shit and
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: he talks to me. He has something to say, and
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: he bonds with the guys that he bonds with, and
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: he's actually enjoys being social more than I do.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: It's up to Jeff.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: We would go out at least twice a week. Once
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: a week is more than I'd like to be going out,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: but he's into it and he loves being social. He
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: loves all this reality TV stuff and the house. I
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: love it too, but he really loves it. But I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: used to get so mad at him, and now as
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: we've gotten older, it just does not bother me at all.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: There are other things that bother me. There are there
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: things that we disagree on. He gets mad at me
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: for I mean, many things, but it's just different. It's
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: like we went through it and it was it really sucked,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: and we learned from it, I guess, and we are
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: both so grateful to be where we are today. You know,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: we're not in couples therapy anymore, but that definitely helped.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I would definitely recommend that you know we are. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Our house is very peaceful. That's what I want for
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: my kids and for anyone who's listening, I would tell
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you that, yes, fall madly in love. I want passion
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: for the people that I love. I want them to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: experience romance and passion and everything that goes along with it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's not still part of my marriage.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: He walks to the door, and sometimes my heart does
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: skip a little beat. I'm very proud of him, but
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: that is not the basis of it. The basis of
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: us is. You know, it might sound funny since I've
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: talked about infidelity, but it's trust and it's respect to
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: mutual respect. He is smart and I love that. I
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: know he's very proud of me for all this the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: silly world that I've become part of, but he loves it.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: He loves watching me do my thing, and he tells
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: me appreciates me. And you know, even the podcast that
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I do with Jackie, the fact that I'm doing I
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: do part two today. You know, he's always like, I know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: he's very very proud of me. We're good to each other.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, that's that's kind of our story,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: and it's you know, we haven't had a perfect story,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't change it. I say that, Yeah, No,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't. Like I don't again, I'm not recommending separation,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: but for some reason, it was probably the best thing
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: that ever happened to us, and so I'm grateful for it. So, uh,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I get asked sometimes if we would ever
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: do like a vow renewal. Nah, you will say that,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, no, I don't know.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: We're not Jeff. Jeff is not one for words. I
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, we write each other beautiful cards, but I
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: don't see that for us. I think it would just
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: be I think it's a beautiful. It's beautiful when people
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: do it, but for us, it would just probably be
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: kind of cheesy. And I think we're just there's no
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: question now that we're permitted and our vows are in place. Listen, ever,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: say never feel. I feel as positive as I could
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that our marriage is now going to last till death
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: do us part. But again, you never know, So listen
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: for anyone out there who maybe is thinking about reconciling
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: with an ex if there's a chance. And I'm not
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: saying an ex necessarily a boyfriend, Like if you're married,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: if you have kids and you're thinking about it a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: little bit. You know, if you're asking me, I'm gonna
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, like pursue that. Maybe have some more conversation,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe go to mediation and therapy, maybe go
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to Chili's and have a margarita and try to speak
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: nicely to each other if there's still that heart in
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: you that's not sure. You know, divorce is hard. It's
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: hard on the people that are getting divorced. It's hard
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: on the man. It's hard on the woman or the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: two men or the two women, and it's hard on
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the kids. So for me, it worked to try again.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: So if there's a chance, I would encourage you to
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: try to explore it, because it is. It's really nice
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to have been married for twenty five years. Actually though
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Jeff says twenty three. He won't give me
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the twenty five because of the two years we were separated,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling him twenty five, especially when it is
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: time for gifts. So but I wish everybody out there love,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: whether it's your part two, your part three, you're part four,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: whatever that looks like, whatever form that it takes, and
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: you know, if it means divorce, I'm also for that.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: You know, nobody I don't. I wouldn't have wanted to
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: set an example for my kids of being unhappy and
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: living unhappy and fighting constantly, and I don't think that's healthy.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I know that's not healthy. So there are, of course
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: cases where divorce is the way to go. We got lucky,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: so I you know, I recommend if you're having doubts
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: to at least respect those doubts. Maybe, And I hope though,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: if you do or if you don't, that you are
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: at peace and happy in your relationships, are happy alone,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: or if you're at the beginning of your relationship, if
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you're at the beginning of a marriage, if you're beginning
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: of your second marriage, I recommend I don't know, mutual
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: respect and friendship and laughs, lots and lots of laughter. Okay, guys,
