1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:13,401
Speaker 1: Appolochiae production an easier advice. Are you okay? What happened?

2
00:00:13,961 --> 00:00:16,601
Speaker 1: Promise it won't be too much? Bring it in.

3
00:00:17,921 --> 00:00:26,241
Speaker 2: Welcome to our Bestie segment. This is the place for you.

4
00:00:27,081 --> 00:00:30,561
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another beautiful Bestie episode segment. We have

5
00:00:30,721 --> 00:00:33,241
Speaker 2: a really interesting one for you today, and we're gonna

6
00:00:33,241 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: cut to the chase. We're gonna get straight into it.

7
00:00:35,001 --> 00:00:36,881
Speaker 2: So actually take it away. Let's go.

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Okay, buckle up, because I've got a story that proves

9
00:00:40,561 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: sometimes your boyfriend isn't your boyfriend, he's just your scammer

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,521
Speaker 1: with benefits. So picture this. I was with this guy

11
00:00:47,601 --> 00:00:50,441
Speaker 1: for seven years yep, seven years, long enough to get

12
00:00:50,441 --> 00:00:53,521
Speaker 1: a degree, a master's and maybe even a PhD. And

13
00:00:53,641 --> 00:00:56,281
Speaker 1: instead I earn nothing but trauma and a second hand

14
00:00:56,321 --> 00:00:59,361
Speaker 1: Louverton bag I never even got to touch. We started

15
00:00:59,361 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: as friends, it turned into something more, and then it

16
00:01:01,921 --> 00:01:05,881
Speaker 1: turned into well, basically a pyramid scheme with feeling. I

17
00:01:05,921 --> 00:01:08,521
Speaker 1: always had this little gut feeling something was off, but

18
00:01:08,561 --> 00:01:12,041
Speaker 1: I ignored it because love makes you dumb, like clinically dumb.

19
00:01:12,241 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: Oh honey. Fast forward, my friends start whispering that he's

20
00:01:16,041 --> 00:01:19,041
Speaker 1: actually taking money from me, my money and using it

21
00:01:19,041 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: to spoil other women, and not just like a cheeky

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Maca's run.

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: No.

24
00:01:22,801 --> 00:01:25,641
Speaker 1: No, we're talking five star restaurants, cocktails, and the kind

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,521
Speaker 1: of meals that don't come with a happy meal toy.

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: At first, I thought, there's no way he can't even

27
00:01:31,241 --> 00:01:33,481
Speaker 1: organize a root in a brothel. How is he organizing

28
00:01:33,481 --> 00:01:36,321
Speaker 1: dinner dates at fancy restaurants? Wow, this story's a lot,

29
00:01:36,401 --> 00:01:38,481
Speaker 1: This is a lot. But then another girl straight up

30
00:01:38,521 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: told one of my friends, Yeah, he buys me things,

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: and he buys me big things. She meant buys me

32
00:01:43,441 --> 00:01:47,281
Speaker 1: designer handbags with my money. So basically I wasn't the girlfriend.

33
00:01:47,321 --> 00:01:50,361
Speaker 1: I was the sponsor. He was living la vita loca

34
00:01:50,601 --> 00:01:52,921
Speaker 1: and I was footing the bill. Then I got ahold

35
00:01:52,961 --> 00:01:55,321
Speaker 1: of his bank statements, and babes looked less like a

36
00:01:55,321 --> 00:01:58,281
Speaker 1: financial record and more like a Louis Vuitton lay by plan.

37
00:01:58,761 --> 00:02:04,321
Speaker 1: Transaction after transaction to this one girl handbags, dinners, gifts. Meanwhile,

38
00:02:04,361 --> 00:02:06,281
Speaker 1: I couldn't even get to chip and for petrol without

39
00:02:06,321 --> 00:02:10,161
Speaker 1: a full blown argument. And here's the kicker. Turns out

40
00:02:10,241 --> 00:02:12,961
Speaker 1: I was basically feeding her child to another man. Like

41
00:02:13,041 --> 00:02:15,281
Speaker 1: not only was I a girlfriend and a sponsor apparently

42
00:02:15,361 --> 00:02:18,361
Speaker 1: I was also sent link. When I finally confronted him,

43
00:02:18,401 --> 00:02:20,841
Speaker 1: he admitted everything, which honestly I didn't know whether to

44
00:02:20,921 --> 00:02:23,441
Speaker 1: respect for the honesty or slap him for the audacity.

45
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:26,681
Speaker 1: Obviously I ended things immediately, But here's a wild part.

46
00:02:26,921 --> 00:02:27,761
Speaker 1: They're still together.

47
00:02:28,161 --> 00:02:28,761
Speaker 2: Wow.

48
00:02:28,841 --> 00:02:31,081
Speaker 1: And I just have one question, how does she walk

49
00:02:31,081 --> 00:02:33,481
Speaker 1: around with those handbags? Because if I knew another woman

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,321
Speaker 1: had basically bought my Louverton, I'd dissolve it into the

51
00:02:36,321 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: earth out of shame. But this girl, she struts around

52
00:02:39,041 --> 00:02:42,401
Speaker 1: like she's on the Paris runway. Girl, you're not carry Bradshaw,

53
00:02:42,441 --> 00:02:45,641
Speaker 1: You're carrying my visa bill. Anyways, that's one of my

54
00:02:45,721 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: fucked up stories. And trust me, I've got more. So yeah,

55
00:02:48,481 --> 00:02:51,001
Speaker 1: moral of the story. Trust you've got girls, Cancelor's card,

56
00:02:51,001 --> 00:02:53,201
Speaker 1: and remember sometimes you're not the girlfriend, you're just an

57
00:02:53,281 --> 00:02:54,441
Speaker 1: after pay with feelings.

58
00:02:54,641 --> 00:02:58,841
Speaker 2: Jesus. Firstly, you should be a writer, because that was

59
00:02:59,081 --> 00:03:00,001
Speaker 2: a wild story.

60
00:03:00,321 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I mean your question

61
00:03:03,321 --> 00:03:05,401
Speaker 1: to ask is how does she walk around with these

62
00:03:05,441 --> 00:03:08,361
Speaker 1: Loui vitons. I don't know. I don't understand because I

63
00:03:08,401 --> 00:03:10,921
Speaker 1: just don't think I could be the other woman and

64
00:03:11,321 --> 00:03:13,201
Speaker 1: I would feel so bad if I'd known that this

65
00:03:13,281 --> 00:03:14,281
Speaker 1: had come from your money.

66
00:03:14,761 --> 00:03:16,441
Speaker 2: Does the other woman know that? Is that?

67
00:03:16,481 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, yeah, because it was her friend?

68
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,001
Speaker 2: Oh shit.

69
00:03:19,481 --> 00:03:21,441
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then the other girl straight up told me one

70
00:03:21,441 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: of my friends said, yeah, he buys me things, so's

71
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,601
Speaker 1: someone she knows. That's I don't know, girl coach. For me,

72
00:03:26,641 --> 00:03:28,961
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't go there. Yeah, but I think for

73
00:03:29,041 --> 00:03:33,321
Speaker 1: you moving forward, like you have to fully unplug, energetically unplugged,

74
00:03:33,361 --> 00:03:36,361
Speaker 1: let go and listen. Yeah, like you've given advice here,

75
00:03:36,401 --> 00:03:38,401
Speaker 1: listened to your guard, look for those red flags. Your

76
00:03:38,401 --> 00:03:40,681
Speaker 1: body knows how your body tells you when something's not right.

77
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:44,521
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and also it's super unfortunate. But also I can

78
00:03:44,561 --> 00:03:47,801
Speaker 2: hear that there's for valid reason you're allowed to be angry. Yeah,

79
00:03:47,801 --> 00:03:49,561
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of anger there and a lot

80
00:03:49,601 --> 00:03:51,401
Speaker 2: of resentment and a lot of like, oh my god,

81
00:03:51,441 --> 00:03:53,161
Speaker 2: this is exactly what happened to me. And it's like

82
00:03:53,241 --> 00:03:55,281
Speaker 2: sometimes you got to let that resentment go. Otherwise you're

83
00:03:55,321 --> 00:03:57,241
Speaker 2: just the person holding the burning rock. Yeah, and it

84
00:03:57,321 --> 00:03:59,721
Speaker 2: like only is going to impact you for future relationships.

85
00:03:59,921 --> 00:04:03,801
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't let this situation become your whole story. Yeah,

86
00:04:03,801 --> 00:04:05,601
Speaker 1: it's like a part of your story. It's a chapter

87
00:04:05,641 --> 00:04:07,881
Speaker 1: that you can close and move forward from. But I'd

88
00:04:07,921 --> 00:04:09,841
Speaker 1: be doing some breath work. I'd be doing whatever I

89
00:04:09,841 --> 00:04:11,361
Speaker 1: can to kind of move that anger and move that

90
00:04:11,481 --> 00:04:12,961
Speaker 1: energy out of my body, because you're right, it's just

91
00:04:13,001 --> 00:04:13,601
Speaker 1: gonna sit there.

92
00:04:13,641 --> 00:04:16,161
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And also as well, when things like this happen

93
00:04:16,161 --> 00:04:18,601
Speaker 2: and they're so far fetched from what you actually want

94
00:04:18,641 --> 00:04:22,761
Speaker 2: in a relationship, it's so easy to immediately lump the

95
00:04:22,801 --> 00:04:25,001
Speaker 2: whole opposite sex with that behavior.

96
00:04:25,121 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: You can kind of hear in that language.

97
00:04:26,561 --> 00:04:29,281
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely like, oh, this is gonna better like this.

98
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,161
Speaker 2: You shouldn't do this. Be careful because you're going to

99
00:04:31,241 --> 00:04:32,921
Speaker 2: have this happen to you as well. And I get

100
00:04:32,961 --> 00:04:35,441
Speaker 2: that again, you're allowed to be angry, but be mindful

101
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: of the part of you that wants to take this

102
00:04:36,761 --> 00:04:39,441
Speaker 2: story and make it, you know, attach it to men

103
00:04:39,761 --> 00:04:42,561
Speaker 2: as a whole, as opposed to this being just one experience,

104
00:04:42,601 --> 00:04:44,721
Speaker 2: because otherwise that's going to ruin every other relationship that

105
00:04:44,761 --> 00:04:47,281
Speaker 2: you have too. And also, if you're not mindful, you'll

106
00:04:47,281 --> 00:04:49,121
Speaker 2: take all the beliefs that you have from this experience,

107
00:04:49,161 --> 00:04:51,921
Speaker 2: which is a very extreme experience in your case, common No,

108
00:04:52,001 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: it's not common. You're not gonna have that with everyone,

109
00:04:53,641 --> 00:04:55,841
Speaker 2: but you might bring that in. It's likely that you

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,001
Speaker 2: will leak that into every other area.

111
00:04:57,681 --> 00:05:00,121
Speaker 1: Like trust you about Cancelor's card. Do you remember sometimes

112
00:05:00,121 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: you're not a girlfriend, you're just after paid with feelings. Yeah,

113
00:05:03,681 --> 00:05:06,681
Speaker 1: it's a very unform watunate rare. I don't think this

114
00:05:06,721 --> 00:05:08,961
Speaker 1: would be something that happens often and not all many

115
00:05:08,961 --> 00:05:10,481
Speaker 1: are going to treat you like this, And now you

116
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:12,681
Speaker 1: know different things to look out with and to have

117
00:05:12,721 --> 00:05:15,641
Speaker 1: full transparency and open conversations.

118
00:05:14,921 --> 00:05:18,801
Speaker 2: And even boundaries around what you will give and you

119
00:05:18,841 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: know what that will look like.

120
00:05:20,161 --> 00:05:22,281
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you said you felt something was always

121
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,281
Speaker 1: off along the way. That was your guy intuition speaking

122
00:05:25,361 --> 00:05:27,441
Speaker 1: to you. So just like, investigate that more next time.

123
00:05:27,721 --> 00:05:29,721
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't even know what's off, but your body's

124
00:05:29,721 --> 00:05:31,561
Speaker 1: just telling you it's not okay. Listen to that. And

125
00:05:31,561 --> 00:05:34,041
Speaker 1: that's okay to walk away from something or someone if

126
00:05:34,041 --> 00:05:35,681
Speaker 1: you don't just know that they're not right for you.

127
00:05:36,401 --> 00:05:39,841
Speaker 2: Oh, this happened, honestly, I'm really definitely true. It's not

128
00:05:39,841 --> 00:05:42,321
Speaker 2: something that I would wish upon anyone. What you've been through,

129
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: like the feelings, the emotions, how that would have left

130
00:05:44,561 --> 00:05:47,241
Speaker 2: you feeling I just can't even imagine. So I'm sorry

131
00:05:47,241 --> 00:05:49,241
Speaker 2: to hear that that's what you went through, But betrayal,

132
00:05:49,401 --> 00:05:51,281
Speaker 2: I think you get to determine whether this is going

133
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,001
Speaker 2: to be your story moving forward or not. You have

134
00:05:53,121 --> 00:05:54,201
Speaker 2: ultimate control over that.

135
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Definitely sending you lots of love and thank you for

136
00:05:56,801 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: sending this in it's a wild one. I can't believe

137
00:05:59,121 --> 00:06:00,761
Speaker 1: that I was sending you lots of love and wish

138
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:02,921
Speaker 1: you're all the best with your future partner who's going

139
00:06:02,921 --> 00:06:04,401
Speaker 1: to treat you like the queen that you deserve to

140
00:06:04,401 --> 00:06:07,041
Speaker 1: be treated like. Absolutely Bye, guys, have seen next episode

141
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: MHM
