Ryan ChaseHostI was a little resistant in the beginning because she hadn't dated in almost four years because her husband had passed away.
And when we moved in together, I'd see her reading love letters all the time from her husband.
I was competing with a ghost, and I had a couple drinks, and I shredded him.
I threw him away.
You know, I'm sorry.
I know it's painful that you lost him, but we just can't go on with you stuck in the past and not enjoying the present.

I mean, how dare you? But then I wanted to step back from it and, you know, try and see both sides of it.

That's a personal pain that I have not gone through and I, you know, I can't imagine what this poor woman is dealing with over the loss of her husband.

Even if you're in a happy relationship and you're both secure in it, you have no right to take that away from her.
