00:00I'm one of those people who, like,
00:01who I need structure and routine.
00:03Like, so, like, my ex, and I think one of the reasons
00:06things became so hard for us is that he thrives in chaos.
00:09Like, his schedule, like, I don't even remember
00:11the last time he was in England for a full week.
00:13Like, he's all over the place, and I just can't do that.
00:16So, like, no. But now I'm trying to figure out
00:18how I can get my social life back
00:20and have Bodhi and work and stuff.
00:22So, that's a process as well.
00:24I think I knew that I was really unhappy,
00:26and I think he knew that he was really unhappy too.
00:29But I don't think either of us ever would have predicted
00:31that we were gonna break up, ever.
00:33And I swear to God, it was just, like, one day,
00:36we were, I remember exactly where we were.
00:38I remember the day, the time, the temperature,
00:41the outfits, where we were, everything.
00:43I just remember being, like, just saying it.
00:45Like, I don't, I don't think that we should do this anymore.
00:49And, but really meaning it.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Um, and it kind of went from there.
00:53And like I say, like, it, it kind of, it...
00:55It doesn't just happen.
00:57Like, people are like, this is when we decided...
00:59Well, it didn't for us, anyway.
01:00It was, it was built up, built upon,
01:03and it was farmed up as time passed.
01:05And it's still like that now.
01:07Like, there's still moments now,
01:08there are still moments where we kind of boomerang a bit.
01:10Um, like, what happened recently?
01:12I can't remember what happened recently.
01:14But, oh, he moved out. Just this tiny thing.
01:16-...moving out of the house. -...
01:19And that was like a boomerang moment,
01:20where you kind of have to relive it again.
01:22And that was really interesting.
01:24And then we were both at Glastonbury
01:25and we ran into each other.
01:26And that was like, quite surprisingly for me.
01:28I didn't see it coming, like a boomerang moment.
01:30Because I was with all of our mutual friends
01:32and he was with his, like, kind of more DJ friends.
01:34And that was a weird moment.
01:35So, you kind of relive it sometimes.
01:37You know, he's this person I have a child with.
01:40And I was, I'm married to her, and I was bumping into you.
01:42And like, 11 years. Like, 11 years.
01:44It's a long time.
01:46I've like, basically kind of grown up
01:47into adulthood with him, basically.
01:50Um, so there are still boomerang moments.
01:51You know, you still kind of, you build.
01:53It's like building bricks.
01:54You build on that kind of solidity
01:56and certainty of this decision as time passes.
01:59But, you know, it was never just instantaneous.
02:02James and I, we're really good friends.
02:04I just want to be clear.
02:05We don't work together romantically.
02:07We do work as friends, by and large.
02:10We do work as friends. We're very good friends.
02:12We spend loads of time together.
02:13Me, him and Bodhi are often on Sunday lunch together.
02:16He was with me on my birthday with her
02:18to kind of basically be the parent while I got drunk.
02:20Yeah, love that.
02:21Yeah, exactly.
02:23Uh, and then, you know, obviously,
02:24we spent Bodhi's birthday together.
02:26And we're still very good friends.
02:28And I think, and I hope that over time,
02:30that's only gonna get, like, we're only gonna get
02:33closer and better in that specific regard
02:35of being friends.
02:36Um, so, you know, actually, we made the right decision.
02:39We're happier and we're closer in many ways now
02:41than we were then.
