I heard these on a reality tv series

I heard the following sentences on a reality Tv show and I know that when you speak sometimes it isn’t grammatical or natural but could you tell me what you think the sentence should have been like?


Should it not be « excited about »?

I am excited for how things are going.

Should it not be « revolves around his mother »?

Everything always relates back to his mom. He’s a mama’s boy.

Is it awkward to say to « have hopes on an idea »?

I had my hopes on the idea that I would have a wife.

I have never heard « naive to the fact »? Is this correct?

You are naive to the fact that....

From the context I gathered it meant « stands out that we need to deal with » Is this correct?

Is anything sticking out of your mind in regards to the wedding?

Shouldn’t it be « to anyone other than him »?

I can’t imagine having the physical attraction to anyone else like I do with him.

Shouldn’t it be « I read » instead of « gauged »?

I gauged him right. He’s exactly the person I thought he’d would be.

Shouldn’t it be « This was meant to be. »?
This is what was meant to be.

From context I think he meant « reading too much into it. » what do you think of « dog too deep into. »?

You are digging too deep into it.

Shouldn’t it be « in regards to their physical... »?

The 2 of them are in a different head space as it pertains to their physical relationships.

Shouldn’t it be « because of how I feel »?
I don’t feel right wearing this ring based on how I feel. I don’t know that I want to marry you anymore.

Shouldn’t it be « How do you feel (that) you’ve... »?
How do you feel (like) you’ve been coping since the accident?

Thanks for the help. I appreciate your help.
