“Ralph and I are in the process of buying a new house, the first one I’ve bought, so I’m very excited. It’s literally right around the corner from where we live now and it’s over 9,000 square feet, so we can definitely stay in our corners when we need to,” he explained.
While driving to his new place, Ralph admitted that “he can do things wrong”, while Drew said that he had contacted a marriage counselor.
‘I called a counselor who works with couples. Honestly, when we move into this house, I don’t want to bring our past into this house,” he said. ‘I want this to be a home that we can enjoy, watch our children grow up, you know?’
“So you already gave him a bias, so he’s already trying to prejudge me: ‘let me tell you what I need you to fix with Ralph,'” he said.
“I didn’t say that,” Drew said. I’m sitting here saying that I found us a counselor. That’s good. Can you just say, “Nice job, babe.” Like, can I hear something positive?
