Will fertility discussions and a potential family visit throw a wrench in their progress?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>In a short clip, they were seen buying a snack while having fun at a festival when Julia asserts her opinion on kids, expressing that she needs time for themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She uses a metaphor of a phone, explaining that just like when a dying phone needs to be recharged, she also needs to recharge herself before planning a family. Brandon questionably replies,<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, but I just worry that your phone&#8217;s always going to quickly go empty. And this is going to be a repetitive thing, even after this trip. And then what?

She fears life would be difficult after that and longs for something spontaneous, supporting her views by saying,<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s exactly what I told you before. If you&#8217;re gonna have a kid in this moment right now. Just thinking how hard this will be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Although Brandon understands\u00a0Julia\u2019s need for freedom and space, he reasons out, saying\u00a0that growing their family and including more people in what they share isn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to have fun too, Julia, but you know, I&#8217;m just..Felt like there was nothing wrong in expanding family and making, you know, more members of our family a part of all these things that we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"652\" data-start=\"206\">Julia\u00a0wants to enjoy life and needs some time, away from the stress and pressure they have faced so that she doesn&#8217;t have any regrets in the future.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"652\" data-start=\"206\">She believes she may be ready to agree to having a family if they take time to travel all the stress of their lives out of her system.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1058\" data-start=\"654\">Although Julia acknowledges how important wanting a family is to Brandon, she calls\u00a0it a big step in her life,\u00a0and she is not ready to take it just yet.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"522\" data-start=\"101\">Brandon does not want to come out as a bad person; however, he still stresses about the plan, asking her to think about it emphasising the practical challenges of taking a break. He explains his concerns,\u00a0stating,<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, if we&#8217;re gonna do this, and we&#8217;re gonna need a way to pay our bills for our house, have enough money to travel, and we&#8217;re gonna need some savings. We&#8217;re gonna need something to work off of, you know? I feel like Julia has not really thought about this plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1072\" data-start=\"524\">Brandon is imagining the worst situations that could happen, for example, going broke, living on the streets, unable to cover their mortgage, and spiralling into reckless choices just because they wanted that one last taste of freedom.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1072\" data-start=\"524\">Brandon acknowledges that he understands her feelings and desires, but if they follow this path, there can\u2019t be any more excuses later.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1072\" data-start=\"524\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t keep doing this.
