This week, we’re having one of those real conversations… how long is too long to be waiting on a ring? We’re talking timelines, expectations, and what commitment actually looks like when you’re grown. And let’s be honest… are promise rings still cute, or are we past that stage? Tap in and join the convo, because this one gets real.

This week on Marriage Deposits, we took a trip down memory lane, revisiting old stories that shaped our relationship and who we are today. We opened up about karma in relationships and how the energy you give always finds its way back to you. Then we switched things up with a fun and thought-provoking game of “Is it cheating if…?” that sparked some real, honest conversation. It’s a mix of reflection, growth, and a little debate you won’t want to miss.

What do you get when two college sweethearts who have been through cheating, heartbreak, years apart, and real life… sit down and tell the truth?

You get this conversation.

In this episode of Marriage Deposits, we’re getting real about a topic that a lot of people think about but don’t always say out loud. Why do men cheat? And be honest… do men actually think they’re going to get caught, or do they believe they can move in silence? We’re breaking it down from both sides and saying the things most people avoid.

Then we take you a little deeper into our story.

We start talking about the different seasons we’ve both gone through in life and in our relationship and let’s just say… we were not always on the same page. Eryn had her “midlife crisis era” while Dre was outside in his “starlight era,” and those two seasons did not align. We talk about what that looked like, how it felt, and how those seasons ended up shaping the relationship we have today.

We also take it back to where it all started. Our college days, what it was like when we were first dating, the years we spent apart, and what it really took for us to find our way back to each other.

Of course, we couldn’t leave y’all without touching on a few hot topics, and we close things out with a listener letter that we know so many of you are going to relate to.

If you’ve ever felt like you and your partner were growing at different times, questioned your relationship, or just want honest, unfiltered conversations about love, marriage, and growth… this episode is for you.

In this episode, we unpack the “Let’s Take a Break” theory and what that phrase often means when it shows up in relationships. Is it truly a pause to work things out, or is it sometimes a softer way of walking away while someone explores other options?
