Speaking in an interview with Off Camera, Dax revealed that relationships are just about the only area of his life where he feels confident.

Dax said: "I have this very weird mix of not thinking I'm good looking, general low-self esteem, chip on my shoulder that I'm dumb because I was dyslexic, all these things, yet unbridled arrogance in relationships. I've always been that way, I don't know how to explain it. I've always felt very confident in relationships."

Dax went on to say that this mentality meant he never felt worried about "keeping" Kristen in the early days.

"So I never, ever, ever was like, "Oh, I hope I can keep Kristen," I was going, "Do I want to be with a Christian, who has eight people living in her house for free? Who has to get out of a car when there's a dog that doesn't have a leash and ruin her whole day to rescue this dog? That's great and she's good, but that's not what I wanna do, I'm not that good, I don't want to spend my day finding the owner of a dog."

And he also revealed that he wasn't "fearful" that he'd lose her either.

"So I wasn't fearful I would lose her, I wasn't certain I wanted to be with someone like that. And then what happened is that she never, ever said to me, "You could be a little better of a person." She never, ever suggested that I should do that."

But Dax concluded by saying that he came to accept Kristen's quirks and became "charmed" by her.
