are you going to move out? >> do you want to get along tonight or do you want to start a war? >> cece doesn't have a right to say you're out, i'm staying. say get out. >> it's her home but my home, too. >> good night. >> good night. >> do you still think i'm your wife? >> i don't want drama here. >> this is not your house. you said you would not come back unless i wanted you to come back. >> he's like a squatter in your house but you put mints on the pillow. >> she could leave, take her rent money and leave.
3:01 am
>> christian and cece are stuck in purgatory. >> nothing is resolved. >> this isn't going to be resolved today. >> will i ever make the right decisions? >> i'm cece. >> i'm christian. i love that breeze. so amazing. >> yeah. >> i live in sherman oaks. >> and so do i. >> i work in film financing and i'm also a professional hand model and actress. >> i create art with writing and film and photography and food. >> he proposed. he was totally unprepared.
3:02 am
>> i don't remember the ring. she tells me i got a jack in the box ring or something. was it jack-in-the-box? >> there's no such thing as a jack in the box ring. >> we're divorced. >> and living together. >> are you going to want to look at the view or no? >> probably not. i've seen it enough. >> it can be very, very challenging at times. i have a question for you. do you still think that i'm your wife? >> no. i think you're my best friend and my roommate. i'm open to it resuming in a better way. i don't have anyone else in my life. i think you love me like a family member. >> it's a very, very tight place
3:03 am
for two people to be living in. he stays here on the couch. this is where he sleeps. we haven't slept in this bed together for over a year. i'm not attracted to him anymore. if he came in here in the middle of the night, i would probably scream. >> i don't normally feel like oh, i feel so bad about being divorced. when i think about being kicked out of my bed, i feel really bad. >> i really don't have any privacy. he's here 24/7. i've been paying rent for many months since the separation. the apartment should be mine because i can pay for it. he should get another place. >> i don't blame her for wanting to stay there one bit, because it's her home but it's my home, too. >> i have to remind you that i've been paying the rent here, and i need you to contribute something, you know. >> well, i've been doing all the
3:04 am
cooking and cleaning and sweeping and stuff like that. so i figured that was contributing. >> but it's not. i feel like i'm the only one carrying the load here. you wrote down on an i.o.u. that you will pay me for the rent. i'm struggling, too, christian. i've been paying for food, gas, rent, everything. >> like we said months ago, this is sort of a thing where we just have to take it day by day. >> christian when they were getting separated, he was pretty hurt and frustrated and not knowing what to do. >> he was e-mailing her and talking to her. he was going to start contacting all the people in cece's life. he wanted to turn people against cece at that point. and that's harassment. >> when cece filed a restraining order against me, it was just like possibly the worst thing that's ever happened. i went to a series of friends' houses.
3:05 am
i was miserable. i never in my wildest dreams thought i would be couch surfing. >> for the three months, there was peace. i felt like i was also beginning to find myself again. i felt guilty about the restraining order being on his record, so i lifted it because he promised me he wouldn't come back. and he had our landlord let him back in. he was not a man of his word. he betrayed me. >> you said you would not come back unless i wanted you to come back. you forced your way back in here and it's really uncomfortable. that's all i'm saying. i need to have my space. i need to heal. of course i don't want you on the streets. >> i'm on a lease. i live there. i don't see any kind of argument that's going to convince me i just need to go sleep in the alley. that seems insane to me.
3:06 am
>> we need mediation because i can't live like this anymore. i want my life back. this has just been a train wreck. >> we made a covenant cece and i. when you break a covenant you made with god, he's not going to be very happy about that. >> i really wanted to try to keep my marriage together. the last thing i wanted was a divorce. >> cece may be disappointing god but i'm not. i'm trying to fight for the marriage and stick it out. >> you need to move on with your life. i'm trying to let you know you need to move on with your life. i don't want you to hang onto me. >> this is what i'm doing. this is what i'm doing. this has been my coach and mentor pablo. he teaches holding on loosely. that's what i'm doing with you. >> the sad part is that as long as christian is living there, he's going to keep putting her back in this guilty fog where she feels obligated to take care of him.
3:07 am
>> reba thinks when i leave and go to another place, you're going to follow me over there and try to get in that place. >> do you believe that? >> i don't know. the way you're talking. >> did you see this again, "holding on loosely." do you understand the principle of this? loosely. >> i met cece at a monday night bible class. >> i was like, wow, he's tall. i thought he was handsome. >> i liked cece. she seemed to be a fragile, vulnerable, sweet spirit. >> a lot of people i felt like weren't there for me. christian was there for me. i was just so vulnerable at the time. and i just wanted somebody to love me and i wanted to love somebody. i want to start my new life. >> okay, great.
3:08 am
>> this is very, very hard. >> can't you go to the manager and talk to him? >> i don't have any grounds for anything. >> yeah, you do. >> if i don't come up with the rent, he has to come up with the rent. if he doesn't, you know -- that's the way it is. >> i think the lease is an excuse. it's month to month, which means at the very least it should only take 30 days to resolve this. she could move. she could just take her rent money and leave. >> i just want to do the right thing. i know i can't be an enabler for him. >> i think there's a big guilt factor of abandoning christian. if christian was doing well, she probably would be so happy for him so she could be free to do the same. >> it's such an awful situation to be in. >> i don't want to be interrogated by you anymore. >> i'm not trying to interrogate you. >> i feel like i am being interrogated. >> i'm trying to help you figure out a plan.
3:09 am

3:12 am
there are days when i wake up, and i come out of the bedroom and see him on the couch and i'm just like, okay, when is this ever going to end? okay. got to get breakfast going. i have to get ready. >> i wake up in the morning, and i feel this is where i'm supposed to be. she agrees, because she doesn't wake up in the morning and go, leave. she says, make me breakfast. i feel valued and needed. she comes home and i make dinner. >> okay. i've got to hurry. are you going to be able to do the floors? >> yeah.
3:13 am
except we don't have any swifters. we're out of swifters. >> you can go get some, can't you? can't you just walk and get some? >> i guess i could walk. >> the floors are awful. you still do owe me. >> i know. that's why i'm willing to pay for it. >> they are the epitome of co-dependency. she can't hike without somebody. she wants somebody to brush her her and make her food and clean her house. christian is the same way. he wants to be in her business 24/7. >> you can take that. do you want it iced or this? >> he can tell her everything from her portion control to the way she puts her makeup on to the outfits. she's a girl. i think she can handle the outfit situation. >> all right, have a good day. >> you, too. see you later. >> when i leave for work in the morning, i do feel it's an escape for me.
3:14 am
i'm glad that i have that space. >> when cece leaves, sometimes i do need to go back to sleep. i just feel a need to crash. i can't function, i can't work, i can't do anything. >> he does have to get to that place where he can take care of himself. i want that so much for him. >> i lived with my mom on and off for much longer than our culture would say is healthy. >> good morning. >> what's happening today, jesus? this isn't exactly what i want to be doing but it's cool. being a maid, basically, doesn't exactly help me to feel like a man. what i'd rather be doing right now is painting. i'm missing some hair product.
3:15 am
this was the old one. i'm completely wasting time on this easter egg hunt. i've learned i don't want cece coming home and seeing me that's how i looked when i woke up. man, i think i wasted about 20 minutes on this already. >> what if mozart, da vinci, oscar wild, andy warhol, truman capote, what if they just concentrated on paying the bills? >> i don't know why he hasn't gotten a break. he's super, super talented. >> i've got to call john.
3:16 am
he's sort of my acting art rep on the east coast. he's helping me with this painting of elizabeth. >> hey, john, how is it going? it's christian. i want to let you know the painting is coming along really well and really fast. it's going to be amazing. >> keep me posted. i'm actually in a meeting. >> talk to you soon. bye. >> i'm just going to say my new painting coming along. >> i think christian is a hobbyist. he likes art. he likes to write. he likes a lot of things but he's not getting paid to do it. >> it's already 3:00. this is what i find happens. 20 minutes on the hair product, 20 minutes on facebook, and sometimes it adds up. i wonder if successful people like steve jobs, do they do this? maybe they don't. >> today was an awesome day at work. it does feel strange at times
3:17 am
going home when christian is there. >> hey. how are you? >> good. how are you? >> great. >> i just want to sit down and rest for a minute. >> chill? >> yeah. >> wow, i love it. the hair is coming alive. what do you think? >> i'm not sure what to think about it. >> do you like it? >> it's not finished yet. >> it sounds like you just don't like it. >> what are your plans, christian? >> i'm going to make dinner. >> but i'm not talking about those plans right now. i'm talking about, are you going to move out? >> i don't think this the place to discuss it. i don't want to discuss it. is that okay with you? >> it's kind of not okay. i really would like to -- >> do you want to get along tonight or do you want to start a war? >> i don't want to start a war. of course i don't want to start a war.
3:18 am
>> you keep asking me this. >> if i don't bring it up, you're not going to -- >> no, you know that's not true. when i'm done with the painting i'm going to resume the job search. >> what about going to pavilion's and bagging groceries. >> i've applied for it. i'm overqualified. >> you haven't walked in. >> i don't want to be interrogated. >> i just want to help you figure out a plan. >> you're really raising my blood pressure and stressing me out. when you do this. >> you have to learn to make it on your own. >> i have to end it here. i'm feeling a tension in my chest. >> nothing is revolved. >> this is what should happen. hey, john, yeah, that's great. so you got a buyer. so the painting sold? uh-huh, okay, thanks, bye. that could resolve. >> what is he doing with that painting? >> he's working on it. >> he's still working on it. >> he's still working on it. >> and you believe him?
3:19 am
>> i have to believe him. if i don't, what am i supposed to do? >> i don't know if he will be a burden on me the rest of my life. i hope he doesn't. he hope he moves on and does really well in life. >> excuse me. >> setting your alarm? >> yeah. okay, good night. >> good night. >> we need mediation, because there is a part of me that worries that he's never going to let me go. >> i don't want drama here. >> this isn't your house. this is cece's house. >> talk to the wall, reba. >> christian, when did you lose your way, to end up just cutting your whole deal for shelter. customer erin swenson ordered shoes from us online

3:24 am
>> i hope i'll be doing like my art rep says and i'll have 10 people in line for portraits and $40,000 each. >> he's okay with not having a romantic relationship with you as long as you're taking care of him. >> i'm just trying to survive and have a roof over my head. >> you don't think he wants a romantic relationship with me? >> i don't think he cares. it would be different if he was like i'll sleep on the curb but i can't let you go, i love you so much. >> right. >> at least those intentions would be better than i don't care if you love me, i just need a place to stay. >> i just think that's really hurtful. >> she doesn't want to be alone. she spent ten years in this extremely co-dependent relationship.
3:25 am
and to be out of that is very scary. >> let me go in first and talk to him and see if he's okay with everything. >> what do you mean if he's okay with it. this is your house. >> i know. >> cece, come here. >> yeah. >> this is the thing, you don't have to make things okay for him. he's an adult. >> i know. >> you don't have to do this. this is you being co-dependent and you trying to make his world okay. you're not responsible for that anymore. you don't have to do that anymore. >> no, i know. >> you want to because you've been doing it for ten years, but you don't have to. >> okay, then come on. >> well, look what the cat drug in. i'm surprised to see you here. >> when reba gets together with cece, i feel like it's a toxic combination. her personality is much more dominant. cece is much more submissive.
3:26 am
>> christian, what are you doing here? i thought you moved out. >> christian is constantly manipulating her and verbally overpowering her and putting her in her place. so when there's confrontation around, she goes back to that place. >> you know what, i don't want drama here. >> this isn't your house. >> you know what, i'm through. >> this isn't your house. this is cece's house. >> talk to the wall, reba, i'm done. conversation is over. i don't want drama either. so there you go. >> move out. move out. you've been asked to leave 1,000 times. the police asked you leave, the judge asked you to leave, the divorce papers asked you to leave. leave, go, you don't belong her anymore. this is weird. i wouldn't even care if cece wanted you here, but you're imposing at this point. to me she acts like a battered spouse. she gets real quiet like she's trying to disappear because she doesn't have a voice in this relationship. it pains me to see some grown man forcing his way into some

woman's home. you're a bully, christian. you're a bully. this is like -- >> give it up. give it up, reba. you're not going to stir up drama. i'm not going to feed into this you're baiting me and i'm not going to do it. >> how am i baiting you? >> god bless you. god bless you. >> you sound psychotic. >> you guys can do whatever you want. i'm going to go and get on my laptop and do facebook and whatever. >> you're living off a single woman. it's disrespectful and disgusting, quite frankly. >> sorry you feel that way. >> when you start acting like an adult, maybe people will take you seriously. >> all you do is throw incendiary bombs. i'm going to go drive or something. i'm not going to be in this house with her. >> christian, i really don't want you to drive the car right now. will you take a walk. >> i'll take a walk. i'm not going to be here as long as she's here. i'm out. i'm out.

3:33 am
separate once and for all. >> so, this is the process. we're going to talk a little about goals. i come from a divorced family. i have been divorced. i was a divorce lawyer for 20 years. i am literally marinating in this subject. so who would like to go first? >> let's see, the apartment. we both love the apartment. we both want to stay. we both want to move on. i think i can speak for her. we both don't want to go back. we want to stay where we're at or up. >> you're speaking like a couple. >> i don't want to go back to people that want to kill me and steal my mom's ashes. >> so your choices on the menu are this apartment or somebody steals your mom's ashes? >> no, i just don't want to go back. >> okay, i would love to see that apartment some time. it must really be something. there's three kinds of separating.
3:34 am
there's emotional divorce, physical divorce and the document. they thought they were going to get relief from the document. the document meant absolutely nothing. would you agree with me that the choices you have made you think may be not the best? >> yes. i made horrible choices. >> holding on until your fingers are bleeding to what doesn't serve you anyway. possible? >> that's possible. >> all right. let's hear from cece. the living together, tell me what you think the problems are around that. >> well, first of all, i shouldn't be living with him because we're divorced. and at the same time i don't want to see him homeless. >> your projection of him being homeless, tell me more about that. >> that's what he tells me. he doesn't really have a job or any income to support himself right now. >> so he's like a squatter in your house but you put mints on the pillow. right?
3:35 am
have you hurt him by bailing him out? >> yeah, i was an enabler for him. >> because you have that connection with him. >> well, no, i'm not emotionally attached. i see him like he's my family. >> that's not an emotional attachment? >> yeah, okay. maybe there is a little bit of an emotional attachment there. but we cannot get back together. because i all wanted to do was die. literally i wanted to die. >> because that was your way out. >> i need to interrupt. >> hold on. not yet. uh-uh. that was your only way out as far as you could see. >> yes. >> i'd like to talk to you both individually. >> okay. >> so let me talk to you first. >> okay. >> i want to ask you to step out and then it will be your turn and then we'll get back together and see what we have. >> okay. >> i want to talk to you, if i could, about your path. christian is not going to leave. you know that. >> i know that, yes.
3:36 am
>> the only way you're going to rescue yourself is that you do the walking. >> right. >> do you know why? >> because it makes me a stronger person? >> hello. emotional currency in the bank. would you like to leave some of these difficult memories behind and start fresh? >> definitely. definitely. >> what's with that apartment? it's got ghosts in it. it's killing you. >> i know. i've got to give it up. >> we can't expect christian to cut his life raft. she is the one that's got to do the work. you don't make this move, what's going to happen? you're going to go back into your depression. you're fighting it on a daily basis. you tell me, this is your solution. when would you leave? >> i could leave in two months. >> two months. okay. we'll put that on the list. talk to the landlord. >> what are you going to do when
3:37 am
christian says i'm going to be homeless? >> sorry. it's not my problem. >> let him hit his bottom. >> i know. >> let's talk about the emotional contract. what do you want from him? >> well, i would like a six-month break where we don't talk. >> at all. >> he doesn't text me, call me, he doesn't try to e-mail me. >> okay. i'm going to talk to him. then we'll get back together and see what we can figure out. >> okay, great. >> thank you. >> either chair. >> keep my same chair. >> you're good at that, specialty of the house, stay in the same place. >> symbolic. >> i want to ask you, christian, when did you lose your way? you are so talented to end up just cutting your whole deal for shelter. >> wow, that's not easy to answer. it's a complex mixture of factors. poor choices on my part. the economy.
3:38 am
poor choices on cece's part. it's just the way of the world. >> would you say that whatever you're doing isn't working? >> i'm persisting. >> in what? >> in staying alive. my dad committed suicide. i'm not going to follow in his footsteps. >> your dad gave up. whatever his reasons are, may his soul rest in peace. >> uh-huh. >> without a doubt, this is a copy cat suicide. >> uh-uh. >> your story line, the economy, cece is strangling you. >> when you're competing with people with harvard degrees that try to work at blockbuster. >> you could get a job. you could be an assistant on movie sets. >> i've gotten jobs. i've had more jobs than anyone i know by far. >> i don't think the job debate helps you at all. >> no, it doesn't. right. >> i think she's going.
3:39 am
would you do the only thing she really wants from you and go to the landlord and say i'm off the lease, two months. >> i'm going to get a roommate. >> you can put an ad in the paper right away for a roommate? >> i've done it. >> my perfect world, i'd like to see you both get out of the apartment. it's got too much pain. >> i wouldn't mind leaving either. i want to go up or stay the same. that's my boundary, if i have a say anymore. >> you don't have any say anymore. she's going. >> let her go. >> i want to create a rescue plan of what it would be like. she wants six months with no contact. can you do that? i can see that will be hard for you. >> six months. no contact. i don't see the practicality of it. what if something happens in a month, someone could help her out in her career. things come up. >> you could contact her for business reasons. >> if that were part of it, that would make more sense. >> would you agree not talking about the relationship with her? >> not talking about the relationship is fine.
3:40 am
>> would you agree not to talk about how you're homeless or doing badly? >> if i'm homeless, i'm going to tell her. >> this is why she wants the six months. let's just keep it to business. all right. so let's bring her in and see if we can't get this behind us. we're making good progress. >> good. >> tomorrow you're going to call the landlord and christian is going to tell them that he's going to try and get a roommate. october 1st, if that works for you, you move out. you have a place, you don't have a place, it's the deal. >> okay. >> nothing is perfect for anybody. he doesn't want you to go. the fact he's going to talk to the landlord and put it all out there tomorrow is sabig deal for him. so the six-month piece, he made a suggestion about that. he agrees not to talk to you except if it's about business.
3:41 am
so given that parameter, does that work for you? >> yes. >> deal? >> uh-huh. >> christian, deal? cece? >> okay. >> so we are going to sign something? >> we're going to write something up and give it to you. >> that's a little scary. >> i thought you would like it in writing. >> i just would feel much better if we just a verbal contract. >> then you make it an oral, verbal contract. that's up to you. >> i would rather have no contract at all. >> if you don't honor the contract, you will never have a chance at being friends. you will never be able to believe what either of you say again. that's a big deal. i'm not saying it's going to be easy but you can do it. i am not convinced that cece is ready to go. will she be able to grow a spine and leave him with the potential of him being homeless? i'm not so sure she'll be able to do that.
3:42 am
>> life is good, enjoying my second glass of pinot grigio and tonic water on the rocks. >> i still felt like we could move forward and just wondering will i ever make the right decisions. i've just made so many mistakes. >> do you want to take this mediation and tear it up and throw it out the window, that's fine. i forgive you whatever you do. >> i don't have complete peace about me leaving right now. dad , fasten your seatbelts everybody.

just to live day to day. i made an agreement with you 11 and 12 years ago, you know. that one was torn up and thrown out the window. you want to take this mediation and tear it up and throw it out the window, that's fine, too. i forgive you, whatever you do. if i can forgive you for a divorce, i can forgive you for not wanting to honor mediation. if you really believe in god, he's going to do what he wants to do. maybe he has plans for me to move to new york next month. that would be awesome. i'd love that. you can keep the apartment. or maybe the plan is you're going to be booked a lead role in a movie and be shooting in europe for six months. or maybe his plan, for whatever reason, is for us to be miserable here. that doesn't make sense at all. it sounds like no, no, no, god doesn't want us to be miserable. sometimes we don't understand his ways. >> christian is trying to hold onto me. i think it's fear.
3:47 am
what you said earlier really kind of concerned me when you said, going away for six months and then coming back. we're coming back and going to get married? >> you said repeatedly there's a chance that could happen. >> i'm not going to move back in here. >> they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. >> no. no, when i leave, i leave. >> six months of not talking to christian, you may be completely in love with me after six months, if that's true absence makes the heart grow fonder. >> no, i'm saying when i leave, i leave. i'm gone for good. i'm going to be moving, christian. we talked about that. i really am. i'm going to be moving. i'm wondering what your plans are. what are you going to do? >> nothing has changed. i'll try to get a roommate to come in here and stay.

it's a joke. nothing sells on there unless it's an established name. it's going to be a picasso, something where somebody knows the name. still looking for work. nothing has happened. i'm taking it day by day. i'm very, very, very hurt and angry. we had an 11-year marriage. we had a covenant that we would never leave each other. she just decided at some point she wants to bail out. i'm still incredibly angry and hurt about it. i think that the best thing would be if we eventually got back together. i'm not sold on the full speed ahead thing. a month from now, she could be like, you know, he's really turned around, turned his life around. he's kicking butt, making good money. he bought me a new mini cooper. i was taught in this class at our church by professionals that there's a really good chance when she says i hate you and i want you to move, what she's
3:50 am
really saying is i need for you to really love me the right way. and you have been loving me the wrong way. >> we're divorced. it's not right to be living together. >> a lot of psychologists would say she's not truly in touch with her true emotions. subconsciously, there's a part of her that might prefer that things would work out. >> no, that's not true. >> you're open to me coming over there? >> no, she's not. >> shut up! >> hold on, hold on. can i talk to you? t fit. t fit. customer's not happy, i'm not happy. sales go down, i'm not happy. merch comes back, i'm not happy. use ups. they make returns easy. unhappy customer becomes happy customer. then, repeat customer. easy returns, i'm happy. repeat customers, i'm happy. sales go up, i'm happy. i ordered another pair. i'm happy. (both) i'm happy. i'm happy.

happy. happy. happy. happy. happy happy. i love logistics. is a really big deal.u with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so call your doctor right away. tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting.
