Becca and Austin.

Yeah.

- With Becca, the one thing is,
she is a little more sexually driven
than I am, like, this early on.
- Yeah.
Do you feel like you've made progress in that area?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's stuff I have to be, like, more conscious about
and, like, actively try.
You know, like, that's how problems work.
You have a problem, you have to [bleep] think about it.
- You get in your head very easily thinking about it.
- Dude, that's the thing, is, like,
it, like, started out as, like, a little thing.

over and over again.

It's been really worrisome for me.
And I'm not-- the more I talk about it,
like, I will get emotional, and so--
but the main thing is, yeah, that he's OK

And I'm realizing, like, I was meant to be in his life
to support him and be there for him
and be whatever it is that he needs me to be

- As someone who has been taken care of
by people that are loved, like, you are doing him the--
you're giving him the biggest gift.
- He is appreciating it whether he's saying it
or not, like, from afar.
- Thank you for saying that 'cause I need to know those--

so many times, I've lost friends.

All we can do is lift each other up.
And that's all I will ever continue to do.

like, you don't say it thinking that it's going to be a thing.

So I did have an opportunity to speak with the experts.
And they asked me if I would be open
to potentially being re-matched,
not knowing if they'd be able to or not.
So I said I would be.
Met up with my friends.
And your girl Dr. Pepper dropped in on us.

that they were able to re-match me.
- Wow. - Yay!
- That's exciting.
- You deserve that. - It is exciting.
I'm excited. I'm looking forward to it.
I mean, I'll be honest, I'm trying to imagine--
you know, like, I'll have to address the fact
that this is my second go-around at this.
- You did nothing wrong. - Right.
- Like, you should go into it being like,
"This is how badly I wanted this.
Like, this is how badly"-- - You're committed that much.
- And not only that, but, like,
it's bringing you this new wife, right?
So, like, you should speak about it in that way,
that, like, you are thankful that that happened
to bring you to this point.
- Turn it into a positive. - Yeah. And it shows--
- "If that didn't happen, I wouldn't have met you and"--
- Exactly. - I think that's a great point
because one of the things that I feel like
I would want to communicate is, like,
you're not receiving, like, a broken man.
- It takes a lot for someone to, like, go about this again,
and I think she's going to respect that.
- And also the minute that she comes to us,
if she has any, like-- - Got to back me up.
I'm going to need you guys. I'm going to need you guys.
- But, like, we saw how you dealt with that afterwards,
and it was so beautiful.
And, like, if we can convey that to her
so that she knows that, you know, you will carry that
into your relationship with her.
- Right, and how badly you wanted marriage
that you were willing to, you know,
make it through a really hard experience,
right, And talk about it with us and also be like,
"Yeah, I'm still devoted to that
and that is still my number one goal."
- And you want even more. - Right.
- I mean, you got a taste of it, and now you--
- Nothing but good things will come
from you telling her that.
- Yeah.
- Timing is everything. - Yeah.
- Wait, I'm so excited for you, though.
- Well, thank you.
But yeah, so things are moving at quite the quick pace.
The wedding is on Saturday, and I would be very honored

- How's it been going?
- It's been challenging, you know.
I'm not used to not having a romantic element
in my relationship.
But, like, we get along really well,
and we have a lot of fun together, so...
- What do the experts recommend
about how you can move past that?
- They're recommending that we just continue
to get deeper and focus
on the emotional connection.
- That's good.
But also, I think actions speak louder than words
as far as romantic connections go.
- Right.
I've been making an effort to, like, try to hug more
and see if that, like, helps anything.
We're doing, I think, all the little things
that expand on the emotional connection.
Like, I definitely feel closer to her.
- I don't know, I think you can get stuck in your head
sometimes about things.
You know, if your roommate leaves something out
and you'll just be pissed at the roommate.
It's happened with relationships
in the past, you know?
There could be one little thing that bothers you.
And that one little thing will trump
any other connection you have.
And once that thought gets in your brain,
like, I think it's hard for you to maybe snap out of it.
So I worry that in your head,
you said there's no romantic connection,
and now you're kind of--
I don't want you to close your doors
to the opportunity that it could happen.
The only way you're going to get there
is if you try to do things outside of what
you're told you have to do.
- Last week, we were having lunch together,
having dinner together.
Does that, like, make you feel comfortable
that I am giving it my all and doing things differently?

Like, I don't know, I'm not trying
to have a romantic relationship with, like, you,
you know what I mean?
I don't know, I just feel like, be flirtatious,
be fun, be easygoing.
Don't make these things chores.
In your head, do you think,
"I'm doing everything perfectly
"and there's nothing I can do differently.
It's just kind of not there yet"?
Or is there something that you think
you can try to improve on?
- I don't think I'm doing everything perfect.
Like, I think I can definitely be better, like, with my words
and expressing myself better.
- I mean, it sounds like you get along pretty well
as friends, which, being friends is
an important part of a relationship
for the foundation, but it's important,
like I know with my relationship,
that you have to make time for each other.
Make sure you're asking her how her day was,
make sure you're giving her hugs.
I just think that you're getting
too stuck in the motions of adapting to,
"This is what life should be."
And I think that's why maybe you're not there yet.
- I kind of feel a little stuck right now,
but we're going to try to talk about more serious stuff
this week to see if that can help,
like, expand the emotional connection.
Like, unpack more family stuff. - Yeah.
I think those conversations can definitely help.
Because once you get to know somebody
on such a deeper level, I feel like the connection
could get stronger, which could lead
to more romantic connection.
Do you think there is a possibility
that there is a chance it does click at some point?
- That it does click? - Yeah.

- Yeah, that makes sense. [chuckles]
Like, obviously, we move at different paces.
And that can cause...
grinding.
Maybe that's not the right word.
- [laughing] - Friction?
Or--and, you know, just might be nice to tell
the doctor about, like--
it'll be good to talk with you about--
and Pia about that.
What are you going to ask her?
- I kind of just want to hear her thoughts.
I also just want to ask her, like, how do I stay patient?
[soft music]
And also how to make you comfortable.
- I think you're doing a good job making me comfortable.
- Does the pre-pickle help?
- No. No, it doesn't.

You look so cute.

Good to see you. - Hey.
- Good to see you as well.
All right. - Yeah. Follow us.
- Follow y'all.
Right. Sit here? OK. - Yeah.
That's yours.
Post up here.
- So tell me, how have things been since we last met?
- Um...
- It's been good. - Yeah.
Yeah. They've been good, for sure.
- I know the last time that we talked,
intimacy was something that we were working toward
improving upon and gaining more comfort.
And I know we said, OK,
we're not going to talk about intercourse right now,
but that doesn't mean that other things
are off the table.
And I'm curious, like, how has that been?
- Hmm...
say it's been a little slower than anticipated.
I just feel like the time has flown by,
and we haven't really, like, progressed that much.
- Yeah.
- Which I feel bad about, and it's, like, mostly on me.
- I appreciate you owning that.
Can we maybe talk about what's the barrier?
- I mean, I typically just like to move slow.
And there's been a couple of times when we have been,
but it hasn't been--
it hasn't gone exceedingly far, right?
- You said there's a couple times where we have been.
Have been...
- Like, intimate and, like,
rolled around in bed and...
- OK. - Had fun.
- How was that?
- It's great when it happens.
I think that's something that, like,
has been, like, surprisingly difficult for me,
because, like, I haven't had a relationship
that moves this slowly,
or, like, a relationship where I don't feel, like,
as desired as I have in past relationships.
And it's been difficult. - Hmm.
- Well, and that's what I want to squash,
is, like, that she feels a lack of desire,
because, like, the desire is there.
I just, like, tend to move slower than most.
- When you hear him say, like, "No, I absolutely desire you.
I just need more time," what comes up for you?
- It feels hard because, like, I desire him.
And for me, it's hard to understand
how he could desire me and then also not want to show it.
- Yeah. No, I know. - I think he's hot.
- You're ready. - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah. - I mean, even just ready
for, like, a longer make-out every now and then.
Like, I don't need, like--
- But we do that.
And we've, like, been doing it more,
and granted it hasn't been that much recently, but--
- So, OK, I mean, your wife is saying she thinks you're hot.
She is so ready and willing to do whatever.
Well, those are my words, not yours.
She's waiting.
She's ready. - Yeah.
- And I'm curious, what might be holding you back
from taking things a little bit further?
- I don't know.
Because, yeah, we definitely have,
like, an emotional connection. - Mm-hmm.
- The first part of this,
it was just, like, wanting to wait
till, like, I was more ready.
And then, like, we started talking about it.
And then it seemed like that's all we did was talk about it.
I think, like, the pressure, like, kind of built
and, like, get more in my head about it.
And now I'm, like, questioning myself.
Because a spotlight has been shone on this, like,
now I'm in my head about it.
- Which is hard because I don't want to--
like, that's what it has felt like,
is that--like, a favor to me.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I don't want it to come off that way.
But now I feel like no matter what I, like, try to do,
like, it feels like-- it feels like it's tainted
or something.
- That--I appreciate the way that you're explaining this
because now it's registering to me a little bit better
where it's like, there's been so much of a spotlight.
There's all this pressure around, like,
OK, we're waiting for Austin to be ready to have sex.
And so that's, like you said, putting you
in your head of, like, "OK, well, now I'm
"very conscious of when I'm going to make a move,
when I'm not going to make a move."
Like, almost like this hypervigilance.
- Yeah, yeah. - And it sounds like
it's perhaps, like, taking away the excitement
or any kind of excitement that there could be.
- Yeah.
- So I want to help you with this challenge, right?
Like, when you all have fooled around,
was there something that made you stop taking it further?
Like, what were you thinking about?
- I think it's all in my head.
And I think I just need to, like--
- Get out of your head? - Get out of my head.
- Mm-hmm.
So I think what I'm hearing is that
perhaps a little bit more of the foreplay is missing.
And I'm curious if that might be
part of the barrier for you, where it's like,
I'm supposed to turn this on, turn it off, right?
Like, more of a foreplay leading up to it.
And foreplay doesn't have to be physical, right?
Is there a way in which we can increase,
like, your intimate conversations
throughout the day?
So I hear you where it's like, OK,
we're not going to put down like, "9:30 PM,
we're going to be intimate together," right?
But more so of like, "OK, tonight's the night."
What does foreplay look like to both of you?
- I'm a firm believer, like, you--
that, like, foreplay doesn't have to be sexual in any way.
Like, it can literally be, like, how you look at someone,
like, how you text them, like, how you touch their back.
Like, it can be, like, everyday things.
Yeah, not even physical in any way.
- Mm-hmm. - That's all new for me.
- Ah. OK.
So being that that's kind of, like, where your mind is,
would you feel comfortable initiating
the foreplay earlier?
- I think so, but then this is what--
I don't want him to feel pressure.
Because I feel like that's what he's felt.
He's expressed that he's felt that before.
- Yeah. - If Becca sends you a text,
like, while you're at work and it's like, "Oh, my gosh,
I can't wait to see you naked tonight," or something,
just whatever she might say,
would that bring apart a feeling of pressure for you?
- I don't know. We can try it.
- Yeah, because I'm wondering if it's like,
we're talking around it but not, like,
doing it, essentially, right?
And so if it was less of, like, "Well, what might we do?
"Or what might this be like?
Or what's your turn-ons and turn-offs?"
And just get to it. - Yeah.
- So we're going to work on removing expectations.
Just removing the expectation that anything needs
to happen in a particular way.
You all really care about each other.
You like each other.
Y'all go together. You're married, right?
Like, this is serious. This is real.
I can tell that you all have this connection.
And there is, on both ends, a desire for things
to move forward a bit, right?
And so can we go into it with, "We're just going to explore
each other's bodies"? - Yeah.
- "We're going to explore our sexual chemistry,"
create your own sexual experience together.
So let's just, like, put a pin here.
- Yeah. - And y'all finish it together.
OK. No pressure. [laughs]

Played goalie there for a hot sec.
And then, I don't know, I just got, like, really fast

It was, like, a lot of practice.

- Yeah.
My dad would buy me, like, VHS tapes.
Bought me all this [bleep] to, like, play out in the yard
and made me do, like, speed clinics, soccer camps
that I didn't want to do.
Sometimes I feel like it took away from me,
like, loving the sport because it was
just so much all the time.
- Yeah, sometimes I wish I had, like, an extra push, though.
I like being coached.
I like getting better.
And when you do it all by yourself,
it kind of slows that, you know?
- Yeah. - And I think if I had,
like, a coach pushing me to be better,
you know, I probably would have got better
and maybe would have made my high school teams.
- There were just times where I think when I was younger,
I didn't see, like, why my dad was pushing me
as hard as he did. He would, like, yell at me.
He's like, "You don't understand how good you are."
And, like, I don't know why it was.
It was really hard for me to, like, think
I was really good at something.
I think it was also hard with, like, the highs and lows
of, like, being pushed so hard, getting yelled at,
but then, like, getting, like, all, like, the praise.
Like, it was just--it was a lot, I think, to handle

that your dad believed in you so much?
- Yeah.
- Do you think that, like, helped boost
your confidence later on?

- Definitely doesn't surprise me that you were captain.
You know, I feel like you're very charismatic
and strong and caring

So I think that speaks to a good leader
and a good captain.

It's a lot of highs and lows, I guess.

And then I feel like there was more pushback
from your recommendations.
He was focusing on, like, a few of the negatives.

but the touching one seemed a little odd to me

We said we would hug more because that was better for us.

how we're going to move forward,
not to talk about the past.

why this is happening, what's going on."
I'm hearing from you that, "Wait a minute,
"that's not what my experience was.
I would like to have more information."

I get all that.
But we didn't have to dive so deeply into it.
- So trust for you, as you've just outlined it,

they're going to do it, that they stick to it?
- Yup. - How, then, in that scenario
can we make room for someone to change their mind?
Like, how would that best be expressed?
- Communication. - Yeah.
How can she communicate to you in a way
that doesn't put you on the defensive
or that doesn't frustrate you or anger you?
- By saying, "Hey, so we said this."
- Mm-hmm. - "We agreed on this,
but now I'm thinking," duh-duh-duh-duh.
Just start from the very beginning and go--it's just--

because when I heard you say that, you're saying,
"I need her to first validate and acknowledge
what did happen."
- Yes.
- Can you speak to that?
- What do you mean?
- He's saying, what's challenging for him is,
he feels like you're not first validating and acknowledging
the effort that he's put forth or the changes that he's made
or the things that you all have agreed upon,
that you're leading with what isn't going right
or what isn't working or what you'd like to be different.
And that's putting him on the defense
because he feels like you're discrediting his perspective.
- Yeah. And that's hard for me.
I feel like I've gone above and beyond
for him to not feel that way.
