How did things go when he moved in?
Traci: I was happy. I thought it was great.
Drew: We didn’t argue too much. But when we argued, it was bad. So I was like … I was doing me …
Traci: You didn’t think …
Drew: That’s the point, I didn’t think. When you are in your mid-20s, early 20s, you’re not thinking of the next day. You are living for today. And I’m deejaying, I’m on the radio. Everyone knows who I am. Girls [are] everywhere. And it was, like, it was easy. It was like walking into the store but you didn’t have to pay for the candy … Naw, I wasn’t ready to give that up. I wasn’t serious. It was a time in my life. We just had this conversation [about] how I was then …
Traci: And how it affected me. Because it did affect me. It was the deepest, most hurtful thing in my life, I think. And I carried that for years. I forgave him in a sense. But when I think back to it, I still have hurt. My son is 7. In seven years, you never admitted that you cheated. And you never apologized.
Drew: I did apologize, the last time we talked.
Traci: He was, like, why was I so angry … because I had hurt and I didn’t have closure.
Drew: Behind every angry woman is a man that did some s— to them.
Traci, talk to us about the hurt:
Traci: I felt like I was broken. It was so devastating. And when you are pregnant, you are already emotional. I’m already a firecracker to begin with, I’m already an emotional person.
Drew: And it’s good that we’re talking about it. But we’re way past that. We’re like on reset mode. We need to figure [out how] to reset it officially.
And it’s good that we’re talking about it. But we’re way past that. We’re like on reset mode. … We should do something that symbolizes reset … like climbing Mt. Everest or skydiving.
Traci: I want to go skydiving. I think that’s great. I’m afraid of heights … that means we’ll conquer our fears.
Drew: I ain’t scared of s—. And skydiving, you jump out of a plane, you let everything go into the air and you keep it moving.
Traci: I’m down.
