Short filmTranscript
00:00 Are you open to being with me and Becky?
00:04 I think Becky is going to be your purity, not me.
00:08 If I make a commitment with somebody, I'm there.
00:11 I want my man, my husband, only for me.
00:15 Miriam is from Michigan. She's from a Muslim family,
00:21 so she's familiar with the plural lifestyle.
00:24 It's a big Middle Eastern community.
00:26 What if you converted to Christianity?
00:28 I don't have plans on converting.
00:31 We definitely want to be on the same page religion-wise.
00:34 I'm excited about tonight and nervous.
00:37 I've never been with a white man. Really?
00:40 Oh my goodness!
00:42 Cheers!
00:44 We've got Jasmine over for a little sleepover.
00:46 If we're going to be a band, we all gotta play together.
00:49 Sleeping over is a little nerve-wracking, honestly.
00:52 Wherever you would feel most comfortable,
00:55 you're like, I don't want to be an end sleeper.
00:58 Bringing in an individual that's not meant to be here,
01:01 it could make things rocky.
01:03 How are you actually feeling?
01:05 I'm hesitant. I mean, it's a big deal for me
01:08 to potentially marry someone and get in that kind of involvement.
01:12 [music]
01:14 Are you really certain that you do want to continue with us down this path?
01:30 I mean, actually having someone here in the flesh,
01:34 you know what I mean, actually doing it, you know, for real?
01:37 Are you still okay with this?
01:39 [music]
01:41 The reason why I had Danielle hang back with me
01:47 so her and I could chat, just to double-check,
01:50 make sure that she's truly okay with Jasmine
01:53 spending the night with us and sleeping with us.
01:56 I think Jasmine gets along really well with us
02:00 and she can seem to hang out with us.
02:03 It's going really well.
02:05 Danielle, before when I thought things were going good,
02:08 that's when you left.
02:10 I'm kind of, you know, I'm a little worried about getting excited about this.
02:17 I mean, did you have enough time when you were away from us
02:20 to think about what it is that you wanted to do?
02:23 I can say for how things are going, I think it's going pretty well.
02:30 With Jasmine, I think she's--
02:32 But I'm not talking about Jasmine.
02:36 I'm talking about you.
02:38 How are you doing? Are you okay with how things are?
02:42 What do you think, though?
02:44 I mean, be honest, be real. If you are, then yeah, but if not,
02:47 I just want to make sure that you have plenty of space and opportunity
02:50 to let me know if there's some kind of concern.
02:54 I mean, could you see yourself marrying her?
02:58 [music]
03:05 It's not like we're going to propose to her or anything like that.
03:08 But I'm just saying, that's the kind of considerations
03:11 that I'm wanting to make about whoever it is that comes into our situation.
03:16 I naturally get along with her, as we all do, I'm pretty sure.
03:21 And so, honestly, dating in general still makes me nervous.
03:25 I'm still very new to this in different ways.
03:28 That's fair. That's okay.
03:30 I'm used to having the power seat.
03:33 Does Daniel want this, or does Daniel not want this?
03:37 I'm curious to see how things are going to continue to grow.
03:41 But I'm feeling pretty good, and I want to see how things go.
03:45 All right, well, then enough said.
03:47 That's all that needs to be established.
03:50 Okay.
03:52 Being in this sort of relationship is extremely difficult,
03:57 so I have to appreciate the fact that there's going to be
04:01 some challenge to overcome.
04:03 I think after showing herself that she could leave the situation,
04:08 if that was really what she wanted to do,
04:10 and then seeing that that wasn't what she really wanted to do,
04:13 I think that's something that she's really taken in.
04:17 Okay.
04:24 It's definitely challenging to be the one that's like,
04:29 hey, I'm not feeling this.
04:31 And so sometimes I find myself compromising
04:33 when I should be just putting my foot down about things,
04:36 and that can be kind of hard to do.
04:38 Okay, I'm going to get the pillows off the bed that we don't use.
04:43 Every time this turns into...
04:46 The giant bed looks perfect.
04:49 We mapped it out, and we should have enough room for everybody,
04:53 so I don't anticipate that there will be a problem.
04:56 So you are going dead in the middle, like dead center.
05:00 Okay.
05:02 Oh, nice, that's where all the snuggles happen, yeah?
05:04 Yes.
05:06 I like Jasmine, I really do.
05:08 I agree to the sleepover, but there has been some jealousy,
05:11 there has been some insecurities.
05:13 All right, Jasmine, you're up next.
05:16 I'm not exactly sure how this is going to look with her.
05:20 Comfy?
05:22 All right, good night.
05:24 [sighs]
05:26 [laughs]
05:30 There's two big things about this sleepover date--
05:33 how Danielle's going to react to it and how Jasmine's going to react to it.
05:36 I don't know if Jasmine's going to actually be comfortable,
05:39 but the biggest worry is that Danielle will have repeat behavior,
05:43 that she won't communicate with us if she's not really comfortable with it.
05:46 And honestly, the worst thing that could happen is that she leaves again,
05:51 and that would be devastating.
05:56 Good night, my loves.
05:58 Good night.
06:00 Good night.
06:02 Everyone having a free?
06:04 Yes.
06:06 I think so.
06:08 All right, babes, good night.
06:10 Good night.
06:12 [laughs]
06:14 ♪ ♪
06:28 You want a glass of wine or something?
06:30 Yeah, I'll take a glass of wine.
06:32 Yeah? Okay.
06:34 Tonight, Miriam and I, we're going to have a stay-in date night,
06:37 just on the couch, spend a little time together
06:40 and get to know each other.
06:43 Cheers.
06:44 Cheers.
06:47 I've really been excited to spend a little time with her alone.
06:51 I think that's super special.
06:53 I mean, it's not going to be the same with each wife,
06:55 so it's very important for me to get to know her and love her
07:00 and receive love back from her, hopefully.
07:04 You like the fireplace?
07:05 Yeah, it's comfy.
07:07 Yeah?
07:08 Yeah.
07:09 I thought it was nice.
07:10 Cozy, I like all of this.
07:11 Are you comfortable?
07:13 Mm-hmm.
07:14 Okay.
07:15 Scoot closer, huh?
07:17 There you go.
07:22 But, yeah, I like it.
07:24 Yeah.
07:26 Glad you had a good time with Danielle today.
07:28 Yeah, I enjoyed that.
07:30 We needed that.
07:31 Sorry, my hair is in the way.
07:32 It's okay.
07:33 Yeah.
07:34 You good?
07:35 Yeah.
07:36 Miriam is definitely a gorgeous, curvy woman.
07:40 She's well-figured, which is nice,
07:43 and she definitely knows how to doll up, which is a nice quality,
07:47 because some women just don't know how to do that.
07:50 I was happy to see you meet all the family.
07:53 Mm-hmm.
07:54 They all seem to really like you a lot.
07:57 I like everyone too.
07:58 Yeah?
07:59 Yeah, I enjoyed my time.
08:01 I'm still not at that stage where I feel comfortable, you know,
08:05 being touchy-feely, so it's awkward.
08:08 I want him to get to know me more on a deeper, personal,
08:12 you know, deeper, personal conversations.
08:15 What do you want to do?
08:17 Do you have any dreams of...
08:18 What do I want to do?
08:19 Aesthetician?
08:20 I want to do something in the beauty industry.
08:22 So we could team up on that, huh?
08:24 In the beauty industry?
08:25 Do you know anything about it?
08:27 I love designing.
08:28 I'm artistic, so my dream is to design women's clothing.
08:32 Mm-hmm.
08:33 You might be my fashion model.
08:35 laughs
08:37 How would you feel if I was to put the hijab on the scarf?
08:41 Hijab?
08:42 Yeah.
08:43 How would you feel about it?
08:45 I'd probably say, "Where's my beautiful wife at?"
08:47 Really?
08:48 I'd probably try to pull it off.
08:49 Where you at?
08:51 laughs
08:52 I do end up planning on putting it on someday.
08:54 Yeah.
08:57 I mean, I don't think it's bad, I just...
08:59 You don't like it?
09:02 I don't know if it's I don't like it.
09:05 I think you're beautiful.
09:07 I could take it off in the house.
09:09 Oh, that's fine.
09:11 As long as I get to see you.
09:12 Yeah.
09:14 You know, the Muslim faith to her is really important,
09:18 and it's kind of intrigued me to see what it's about
09:22 so I can meet people where they're at, you know,
09:25 because I don't know what I'm talking about.
09:28 I didn't love God or live for God when I was younger.
09:32 I was pretty bad. I was a playboy.
09:35 Oh yeah?
09:36 Wild boy, yeah.
09:38 Define bad. What did you do that was so bad?
09:42 Started a gang in town.
09:44 What?
09:45 Tough guy, cool guy.
09:47 Oh my God.
09:48 I made people pay me for cash or protection.
09:51 I was pretty bad.
09:52 You're lying!
09:53 No, I had like decals on the trucks of the gang.
09:56 We made them get on their trucks.
09:58 What was your gang name?
09:59 Always Thug and Crew.
10:00 Yeah, and we did, it should be a C, but we did it with a K.
10:04 He was telling me about some gang he created when he was younger,
10:08 which I found funny because Gary grew up in this town,
10:11 and he's like 6 generations in, so it's like,
10:14 well, you spoiled and just a little rebel
10:16 doing what you wanted to do in the city,
10:19 so it was kind of funny.
10:21 So what are you feeling about, I guess, me?
10:26 About you?
10:27 Mm-hmm.
10:28 Different.
10:29 Yeah?
10:30 Yeah.
10:31 That's true.
10:32 Yeah, I want to get to know you more.
10:34 Yeah.
10:35 See where things go.
10:36 Yeah.
10:37 It's so unsteady.
10:38 Yeah, it's okay.
10:40 Yeah.
10:41 Yeah, but I don't know about living in this town.
10:43 No?
10:44 Mm-mm.
10:45 What if we have a separate house?
10:47 It's not about the house, it's the town.
10:49 Oh, man.
10:50 No, the town, why?
10:51 No.
10:54 I hear Miriam saying that she might not be able to live
10:57 in a small town, but I really think I could change her mind
11:01 by showing her the benefits of a small town,
11:04 especially for children.
11:06 She may not understand all the great qualities,
11:09 the safety you have, the freedom you have for your children
11:13 to enjoy their childhood.
11:16 Well, would you give it a try?
11:19 As long as there's a vacation home too, I could sneak off.
11:23 [laughs]
11:25 I really didn't take it in when I was telling him
11:28 I didn't want to live here.
11:30 I'm not comfortable in this town.
11:32 I'm probably the only brown--
11:34 well, I'm not brown, but tan skin person there.
11:38 All right, baby, good night.
11:40 Okay, thanks.
11:41 I'll see you in the morning.
11:43 Yeah.
11:44 All right.
11:45 I think Eric has a plan in his head
11:47 of what he wants to do in life and what he wants to create,
11:50 and he wants me to be a part of it.
11:52 I'm trying to take my time with him
11:54 and this is who they really are.
11:57 She's kind of standoffish,
12:10 not sure what that is.
12:12 It's a cultural thing.
12:14 It's a little awkward for sure,
12:16 but I've given her the benefit of the doubt
12:19 and would like to kind of learn more about
12:23 is this cultural or is this something
12:25 between me and her personally, you know?
12:28 How do you think things are going?
12:33 I don't see any problems.
12:34 Last night, it was a little strange
12:36 having Jasmine in bed with us.
12:38 I do kind of have to address
12:40 there has been some difficulties.
12:43 I'm not okay with this at all.

13:49 I don't know if I would have
13:51 been in bed with us, you know?
13:52 I mean, I'm glad that we were able to do that,
13:55 but can we do that every night?
13:56 I don't know.
13:58 What about you?
14:00 Pretty good, actually.
14:01 I know it's probably different
14:03 laying in bed with all of us.
14:05 It was fine.
14:07 Okay, good, I'm happy to hear that.
14:09 laughs
14:10 I think the night went well.
14:12 It was nice and quiet,
14:13 and it was great to have
14:16 other people around while I slept.
14:18 So I say let's go ahead
14:20 and have a seat outside.
14:22 I'm glad Jasmine and I were
14:23 the first ones up this morning.
14:25 Being the latest wife in the family
14:27 and with her being my potential wife,
14:29 it's good for us to have this one-on-one
14:31 and kind of open up a bit.
14:32 All right. laughs
14:34 When it comes to dating,
14:35 we spend a lot of time collectively,
14:37 but I need to know that when it's just us,
14:40 my potential wife,
14:41 I need to know that it's good.
14:43 I don't want it to be necessarily
14:44 led by everyone else,
14:45 and then when we're secluded,
14:46 it's just weird.
14:48 So, you know,
14:49 after spending some time together
14:51 and you and Nick got to go on this date
14:54 and just all of us spending
14:56 some time together,
14:57 like, how do you think things are going?
15:02 I mean, I don't see any problems currently.
15:07 I mean, we're just getting to know
15:09 each other for the moment,
15:10 so there's not much that can go wrong.
15:12 Right. laughs
15:14 Yeah, ideally, you know,
15:17 as time goes on,
15:18 I know this is kind of crazy
15:20 to bring up already,
15:21 but, you know, as things progress,
15:23 we would definitely want you
15:26 and your son to move in,
15:28 and I mean, how would you feel about that?
15:30 I know that's kind of like
15:31 jumping, you know, in the future,
15:33 but just like the thought of it,
15:34 like, what do you think?
15:35 Um, I mean, the thought of it
15:36 doesn't bother me at all.
15:38 Okay.
15:39 So I do want to take it slow,
15:41 but I do not mind thinking
15:43 about the future at least.
15:44 Right, okay.
15:45 I'm just not going to act on it immediately.
15:47 Exactly.
15:49 So there's definitely a lot of exciting things
15:53 to look forward to,
15:55 but I do kind of have to address,
15:57 you know, there has been some difficulties
16:00 being a sister wife.
16:01 I don't want to sit here and act like
16:03 it's completely easy 24/7.
16:06 You know, I've definitely struggled
16:08 with a lot of issues coming into it.
16:11 I've always been monogamous until now,
16:13 and so I just want you to feel like
16:16 you can always vocalize how you're feeling
16:18 or what your thoughts are,
16:19 because I've definitely struggled myself,
16:21 and I think at times I really wish
16:23 I would have spoke up before
16:25 it just began to snowball, if you will.
16:28 Yeah.
16:29 Um, it got to the point where I moved out.
16:33 Um, yeah.
16:35 That's crazy. I had no idea.
16:37 It was brief.
16:38 It was really brief,
16:39 but I did at one point consider separating.
16:43 We've done a lot to work through it
16:45 and talk about it, and honestly,
16:47 this is a big first step.
16:49 Like, you know, this is us getting back into dating.
16:52 Danielle opens up to me this morning,
16:54 and I think that that was really brave of her,
16:57 but I do not anticipate that I will have the same issues.
17:01 I'm pretty secure in myself.
17:04 I just kind of wanted to be transparent
17:06 and not sit here and act like, you know,
17:08 everything's all fine and cherry,
17:10 and I will say on a daily basis,
17:12 like, we all get along great.
17:14 Like, our dynamic is a lot of fun,
17:16 but with fun comes hard work.
17:18 I don't feel like she was engaging with me
17:21 as much as she could have been,
17:23 and maybe she was just listening.
17:25 You know, she might not have much to say,
17:27 but I don't feel like she was exactly, um,
17:29 really understanding what I was telling her.
17:32 I'm not feeling that everything is in place
17:35 that it needs to be.
17:36 Nothing bad happened, but it's like,
17:39 girl, you're gonna be potentially my wife.
17:42 I can't just let anybody slip into this situation, you know.
17:45 A marriage is a true commitment.
17:48 At this time, I'm just not sure if Jasmine
17:50 could be our potential sister-wife.
17:53 ♪ ♪
17:58 [dramatic music]
18:01 ♪ ♪
18:08 - Hey. - Oh, hi.
18:10 - How are you? - I'm good. How are you?
18:12 - I'm good. - How was everything?
18:14 - Mm, it was good, you know.
18:16 We sat, hang out, talked for a while.
18:19 - Had your dinner? - Had dinner, yeah.
18:22 - Yeah? - Let's go sit down.
18:24 Chill for a minute. - Okay.
18:25 - Talk about it. - All right.
18:28 [dishes clatter]
18:31 - You just talked about some important things?
18:35 - Yeah, I mean, I tried to--tried to push it,
18:38 see, you know, if she was really interested or not,
18:40 you know, 'cause we've been going out
18:42 for several months now, and, you know,
18:44 it's still kind of super slow,
18:47 which I'm kind of cool with after the last round.
18:51 Um...
18:53 Come here, baby. - Stay.
18:54 - Come here. - There you go.
18:56 - Good girl. - We had lightning
18:58 in a bottle with Stephanie.
18:59 We were like, "Yeah, let's do-- we're doing life together
19:03 for the rest of our lives right now."
19:06 Um, and then seeing how, you know,
19:09 that turned out, crash and burn.
19:11 I'm kind of cool with taking it slower with Yari
19:14 because I understand that it's a big jump
19:17 from regular, normal people life to polygamy.
19:23 She didn't say this, but I kind of felt like
19:25 it's what she was getting at was,
19:28 "I just want a man all to myself."
19:31 - Oh, did she say that?
19:33 - Yeah, I mean, you know...
19:36 She was like, "I want a husband that is, you know,
19:40 just for me."
19:42 - Yari saying that she wants a man only to herself
19:49 makes me feel like she's definitely
19:52 not in the right relationship.
19:55 - So what was her point to keep--
19:57 what is her point to keep going if she doesn't--
19:59 she thinks something's gonna change, maybe?
20:02 - I-- [laughs]
20:04 - Okay, she's saying, in general,
20:05 "Oh, you know, I prefer to have a man to myself,"
20:08 or is she actually saying she wants you to herself,
20:12 and she's thinking that if she holds on
20:13 with some miraculous situation is gonna happen
20:17 where she's gonna have you to herself?
20:19 - I don't see that's what she's looking for is like,
20:22 "Oh, I'm gonna steal Justin from Becky," you know.
20:25 - What does she say about, like,
20:26 potentially in the future joining our family,
20:29 like, being a part of our family?
20:31 Like, I know that she couldn't steal you from me.
20:34 I know that's not a possibility,
20:36 but is that what she's hoping for?
20:38 Is that the angle she's trying and hoping to eventually get?
20:41 'Cause if that's the case, then why are we wasting our time?
20:44 I mean, we're just-- we're wasting our time.
20:46 She's wasting our time.
20:47 We're wasting her time, 'cause that's never gonna happen.
20:51 - I'm feeling that we're kind of on, like,
20:55 a plateau, I guess, so to speak.
20:57 I don't feel like things are really going anywhere,
20:59 but I don't know if it's because
21:00 she just really wants to move that slow
21:02 or if she's just really not into it.
21:05 - I mean, she obviously likes me.
21:07 She likes you.
21:10 She's just never heard of this,
21:11 and so she's not sure what, you know--
21:14 - To expect from it.
21:15 Maybe she just needs more time with us,
21:18 maybe to change her mind or come around to that.
21:22 It's not as bad as she thinks it would be.
21:25 I don't know.
21:26 I mean, hey, if we find somebody in the meantime,
21:28 obviously we're gonna focus on that person.
21:31 - Yeah, for sure. I mean, I told her that.
21:34 - My relationship with Yari and compared to
21:38 my relationship with Stephanie is not really a comparison.
21:42 Like, we were super close.
21:44 Like, we talked to each other every day.
21:46 You know, we're always planning the next time
21:48 we were gonna get to see her,
21:49 and with Yari, days will go by,
21:51 and I won't even hear from her.
21:53 - So...
21:55 - I'm still trying to figure out if Yari is a good addition.
21:59 We don't really know for sure.
22:01 - I see Yari as a good potential because, you know,
22:04 obviously she's beautiful,
22:06 but she's really conflicted inside of her
22:09 if she can do this lifestyle or not.
22:12 - So we're still gonna be continuing to seek
22:15 for that perfect sister-wife,
22:17 and hopefully, you know, we'll find that.
22:20 I mean, there's some people that are looking
22:22 for that loving family dynamic
22:23 to make them feel safe and protected and happy,
22:27 and that's what we have to offer.
22:30 - Well, thanks for having me. - Yeah.
22:35 - I am interested in Jasmine,
22:37 and I count on my wives to recognize
22:40 that I'd like to pursue a relationship with her further.
22:45 - Good morning. - Hello.
22:56 - Hey, good morning. - Good morning.
22:58 - How's everybody doing today?
22:59 - Good, good. - How are you?
23:01 In your little bunny slippers?
23:03 [laughter]
23:05 - I'm doing okay.
23:06 - Good morning.
23:07 - Hello, Jasmine. Did you sleep all right?
23:09 - Yes, I did. Did you?
23:11 - I did, yeah.
23:13 - Good morning. - Good morning.
23:15 - Good morning. - Good morning.
23:17 - I was waking up with Jasmine, and the house was fun.
23:20 I mean, it was cool. It felt natural.
23:22 - I was happy that Jasmine felt comfortable
23:25 to sleep in the bed the whole night.
23:27 - Having four women in the bed is, you know,
23:29 something I've not experienced yet,
23:31 so that was new for me and very fun.
23:35 - I slept good. How did you sleep?
23:37 - Pretty good, actually.
23:38 - And apparently I didn't knee anybody.
23:40 I didn't, like, take out anybody with the elbow.
23:42 - Look on to the elbow. - Yeah.
23:43 - I didn't rip the blankets off of nobody, so...
23:45 - I didn't even feel you get out of the bed.
23:47 - Oh, good. Yeah, I kind of, like...
23:50 [laughter]
23:51 - Wait, you went under the blanket?
23:53 [laughter]
23:55 - Yes, I, like, slithered down,
23:57 and I, like, slipped out the bottom of the blanket.
24:00 - I didn't even notice.
24:02 - You mean you never tried that move?
24:03 - I have never tried to get out--
24:05 I mean, I'm in the middle sometimes,
24:08 like, in between Danielle and Nick sometimes,
24:10 so I've never tried that either.
24:12 - Yeah, the wiggle move.
24:13 I might give that a shot next time.
24:15 - Yeah, like, get--slither on out.
24:17 - Yeah. - Stealth mode, he love it.
24:19 - Right.
24:20 - I'm so glad that you came over.
24:22 Thank you for coming over and hanging out.
24:23 - Yes. - Had a wonderful night.
24:24 - Yes. - Yeah.
24:25 - It was a lot of fun, Jasmine.
24:26 - It was a lot of fun.
24:27 - The bubble bath was very, very nice.
24:29 [laughter]
24:30 - I think, you know, Jasmine keeps us on our toes.
24:33 She keeps things fun and spontaneous,
24:36 and I think that that's really good, you know?
24:38 - Uh, Danielle, how are you feeling about Jasmine?
24:40 - Um, I mean, so far, there's definitely some awkward moments,
24:44 but she's spunky, she's fun.
24:46 We just gotta--gotta see how that--that goes with us.
24:51 All right, well, let's go then.
24:54 - Get ready.
24:56 - I--I am interested in Jasmine.
24:59 I think she's, uh, very interesting.
25:02 - This was great. - It was so fun.
25:04 I don't even want you to leave.
25:06 - Thanks for having me. - Yeah.
25:08 - Say bye, Vera. - Bye.
25:10 - Honestly, the next steps for me
25:12 is more of like an information-gathering phase.
25:16 I want to spend time with everybody individually
25:19 and as a whole to really get a sense of who they are.
25:24 I'm going to be very, very nosy.
25:27 - It's good to see you. - See you again soon.
25:30 - Thank you. You too. - Of course.
25:33 - Here, let me get the door for you, Jasmine.
25:35 I would like to pursue a relationship with her further,
25:40 but it's not just on me, because I count on my wives
25:45 to recognize things that I might miss.
25:48 You know, I might be blinded by the beauty
25:51 or something like that, and not able to see something
25:54 that my wives are aware of, but there is kind of an aspect
25:58 of it to me that might be slightly disappointing
26:01 if we don't move forward with Jasmine.
26:03 - It was lovely to see you.
26:05 - Thank you for having me.
26:07 - There'll definitely be a family meeting in order.
26:10 We'll need to come together and kind of convene as a group,
26:14 kind of check notes, kind of cross-compare,
26:16 see what everybody else is thinking.
26:19 electronic music plays
26:22 Almost time to go, huh?
26:37 Yeah.
26:39 It was a good trip, huh? Quick but good.
26:43 Quick but good, but um, yeah.
26:47 And it makes me want to go see her.
26:50 laughs
26:52 We're getting ready to head back to Denver
26:55 to take Miriam to the airport.
26:57 She flies back to Michigan.
26:59 I feel like the trip was a great success.
27:01 I mean, it went really well, but we need to figure out
27:04 a couple things, talk some things out,
27:06 but overall it was a wonderful trip.
27:09 I'm very happy.
27:11 Hey beautiful.
27:12 How are you?
27:13 Good, how are you?
27:14 Good, how's V?
27:15 She hasn't had another kick yet, has she?
27:17 Uh-uh.
27:18 She did.
27:19 Well, I caught her butt yesterday or something.
27:21 Oh wait!
27:22 No.
27:23 No.
27:24 Darn it.
27:25 laughs
27:26 I feel closer to Miriam than I do with Natalia.
27:31 I wish things were different with Natalia and I,
27:34 but it's going to take a little more time for her to accept
27:38 that we really are still open to searching.
27:41 You ready for this drive?
27:44 Are you ready for me to leave?
27:46 No.
27:47 I know.
27:48 It's okay.
27:49 But I'll be back.
27:50 I told you like yesterday, it's just to see you later.
27:53 Not a goodbye.
27:55 Maybe next month or something, or when the baby's born,
27:58 I'll come.
27:59 Okay.
28:00 We're definitely going to continue with Miriam
28:02 dating and courting her to see if she's supposed to be
28:05 in our family as a wife.
28:07 I mean, definitely right now she's a really good friend
28:10 and definitely a potential.
28:12 So let's get our stuff in.
28:14 Head out.
28:15 Head out.
28:16 I don't know what the future is yet, we're going to see.

30:19 Uh, I feel like it's just time to discuss
30:24 if we are trying to get together with her again.
30:27 The openness that she had in regards to, like,
30:30 our type of relationship, I think is pretty, you know...
30:33 Hard to find.
30:34 Unique, yeah, and hard to come by.
30:36 You know, and she has a lot of characteristics
30:38 that could work in this type of relationship, so...
30:41 Um, I guess for me, how Jasmine was with us, I admire.
30:48 She was bold, she was outgoing.
30:50 I love having babies.
30:52 I'll populate the whole next generation.
30:54 You got a big, huge bed now.
30:57 Oh, yeah, I can't wait to see that.
30:59 Nothing necessarily went wrong,

31:07 but with this being potentially my future wife,
31:10 I want it to be someone I'm head over heels,
31:13 like I am about you guys.
31:16 I'm just not sure if moving forward right now
31:20 would be the best idea.
31:23 It's still hard for me to talk about how I'm feeling.
31:26 It's really easy for me to start feeling kind of insecure and down,
31:30 and I kind of put myself in a box,
31:32 but things that I've been through made me recognize
31:35 I need to speak up if there's any issues.
31:38 I mean, I get that.
31:41 I, um--and honestly, for me, Danielle,
31:45 like, I'm kind of feeling a little...
31:48 reserved with her as well,
31:51 or maybe it's her reserve that I'm feeling.
31:54 But at the same time, like, I think overall, like,
31:57 I like hearing you be able to express yourself, Danielle.
32:01 I mean, if I'm being honest, I guess I am a little
32:05 disappointed to hear that.
32:07 I was kind of hoping we would move forward with Jasmine.
32:11 I thought she might be an interesting person
32:15 to get to know in a romantic, you know, sense.
32:19 But, um, you know, this is one of those instances, I guess,
32:25 where even I have to accept the structure that we've created.
32:30 You know what I mean?
32:32 It's not like my desire to have this individual here
32:35 overrides what you all are saying.
32:37 I mean, like, but here's the thing.
32:39 If you feel like we should move forward with her,
32:42 that makes a difference to me,
32:44 'cause that kind of makes me question, like, you know,
32:47 how I'm feeling, like, is there just not something maybe--
32:50 like, maybe am I rushing it?
32:52 Like, is there something I've got to work for in a way?
32:55 You know what I mean? Like, I don't, you know--
32:57 I didn't have to work for a connection with you.
32:59 I didn't have to work for a connection.
33:01 And I guess we didn't have to work with a connection.
33:03 We just kind of connected.
33:05 It was just natural.
33:07 So then on that note, are we dating Jasmine or not?

33:17 I say no, 'cause I agree with Danielle.
33:21 Jenny?
33:23 I agree.
33:26 I was digging Jasmine.
33:28 It kind of sucks to see that it didn't really work out,
33:31 but I like seeing Danielle being confident
33:34 in standing alone or apart in how she's feeling,
33:38 even if April and Jennifer
33:40 might have been liking Jasmine more.
33:43 I'm honestly very thankful for Jasmine,
33:45 and the reason why I say that is because
33:47 there was a lot of growth with this.
33:49 Honestly, this was really freaking hard.
33:51 If you look back a few months ago, we were struggle-bussing.
33:54 Another question is, do we want to, like, in general,
33:57 continue seeking?
33:59 Whoever's meant to be with us is out there,
34:04 and so we got to keep pushing forward.
34:07 I think now that we see that you're more comfortable,
34:10 we see that you do want to move forward,
34:12 that we can do this,
34:14 maybe doing it with someone else
34:16 or a couple of other someone's else, you know,
34:21 might be beneficial, because here's the thing, let's date.
34:25 Like, let's actually get out there,
34:27 and let's date a couple of people and see how it feels.
34:30 As much as I was disappointed about us not being with Jasmine,
34:34 whatever this is you guys are talking about,
34:38 it has me intrigued.
34:40 There's been some rollercoaster
34:42 that we've gone through here and there, you know,
34:45 with Daniel leaving, us coming back together,
34:48 meeting someone who could potentially be a wife,
34:50 and then things not working out.
34:52 I mean, it's been a journey that we've gone through.
34:55 If we didn't have these issues and things to work out and resolve,
35:00 I don't think we would be as strong as we are today.
35:03 We ended this year stronger than we started it,
35:06 and I am, um, just, I don't know, I'm just so happy.
35:11 I'm just so happy that Danielle has found her voice.
35:15 I'm so happy to see that Nick is, um,
35:19 truly putting it in the hands of his wives to, um...
35:25 have us add... I'm sorry.

36:47 and, um...
36:50 it just has gotten worse.
36:52 Miriam seems to be a really good fit for our family.
36:56 And I think Natalia just didn't expect that to happen,
36:59 and now she is very upset.
37:03 Um, to put it mildly.

38:59 Like, she was fine with us meeting Miriam.

39:09 I'm hurt.
39:11 That's my wife. I love her.
39:13 Um, I'm heartbroken.
39:15 But I feel like Natalia is still unwilling
39:19 to address some of her issues in her heart and mind,
39:23 and she's not really being a team player in the family.
39:28 Like, you know, you don't want to lose anybody.
39:30 I don't want to lose a wife,
39:31 but if a wife doesn't want to face her problems,
39:34 I mean, it's better it came out now
39:36 that she's just not going to grow up,
39:38 she's not going to mature, she's not going to change,
39:41 compared to her getting to America.
39:42 I have two kids, and then we got to deal with it.
39:45 I mean, it's a blessing.
39:47 Even with what happened with Natalia,
39:53 we're still seeing Miriam.
39:54 We're just kind of taking it slow and getting to know each other,
39:58 but we definitely get along really well.
40:00 We have a lot of fun together, and it feels very comfortable.
40:04 I guess at the end of the day with Natalia,
40:07 she's missing out on a blessing in her life
40:11 with a family, and I know Garrick's a very good husband.
40:16 You know, we have a strong relationship with God.
