“The reason for the destruction of all my relationships is that I’m passionate about being on the road and making music, The women I date don’t realize that I spend between 6 and 8 months of my life on the road — touring or traveling or seeing family with my daughters.”
Clearly, Bret’s busy schedule and the tour are one of the main reasons for their failed relationship.
