<v Speaker 2>The weather was beautiful.

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>We've had a pretty shit summer in Melbourne, Australia, but

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this weekend we were blessed with the sun finally, and

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.800

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 3>his march.

<v Speaker 2>And your friends are party boy.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>It was like, when I send that out with the boys,

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, this is going to go one of

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>two ways. I could be getting a mercy call the

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>next day, being like I'm in a dark place.

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 3>I was, so i'll tell you what I got. Sunday

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I was pretty good. But we went out went to

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 3>this new place forgive me, I don't know its name.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I asked you where it was because it looked stunning.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>It was like on the water on.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>The docklands, literally in that bit there where your boat

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 3>was for your birthday. It's acterually in there. It's like

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 3>a floating like what would you call one of them?

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like a floating kind of like bar oh.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. It was unbelievable. Sun was down the vibes are up,

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 3>so it was hard for me.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Sun was up, the vibes were up.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was hard for me not to It was

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 3>hard for me not to drink, so I got stuck in.

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>It looked like perfection. I asked you what it was.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You said it was like a t et or something something.

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Yeah, I figure I don't know how to pronounce it,

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 3>so I was probably not going to touch on its name.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 3>But it had a bit of fun there. Then woke

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 3>up Sunday, went to the Saint Kildo Markets. Have you

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 3>been there?

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Love the sat Kilda Market.

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>What a fun thing to do on a Sunday, very wholesome.

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Actually got some henna tattoos done there fifty dollars not cheap.

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 2>But did you know that henna tattoos?

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Actually it's obviously like an Indian tradition and they do

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>it like mainly when people get married. And apparently the

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>reason why they do it is because it's actually really calming.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Really so like they had this when I went to

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>this Saint Kildo market a few months ago.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>The lady was like telling me, She's like, oh, it's very.

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Soothing, it's calming, it's good for the nervous system, and

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, sign me, I'll say no more.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Don't stop stop covering me from.

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Head to tie. I don't know. I think they have

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>some like essential oils in there.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I think the ingredients are very like soothing, and apparently

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that's why they give it to the brides because it

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>like relaxes them on their wedding day, because apparently your

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>wedding day is meant to be super stressful, and I

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think Indian weddings go through multiple days.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>So I was gonna say, Matte, maybe.

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 3>You can well because my story I'm going to tell

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 3>you from the weekend is very stressful.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Really went from.

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 3>The same Kildon Markets and we're going to go watch

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 3>a movie. So I went to the shop. She likes

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 3>to collect the hard tickets of every movie she goes to.

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 3>She's got like a stack of them. So I went

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>to buy and I bought them for the screening at

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 3>whatever time. It was like six point thirty. I did

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 3>this during the day, so the car parks full. I

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>went to a bit of a shop, got some groceries,

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 3>got everything. I've been using one of my dad's utes

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 3>from the office, so you know, save fuel, save money

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 3>on that save money on my.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Cut very expensive at the moment, I've gotten.

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 3>To add that my car sitting on the driveway with

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 3>a flat tire haven't changed yet or two ago. I

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 3>just haven't been bothered to change it because I've got

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 3>this car. So I'm driving this one around now, so

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 3>essentially you don't want to tie. I get so flat

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 3>that it almost like folds on itself. It's gotten to

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>that point and every day I walk past, I'm just

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 3>like Nat today. So I've been driving that around. But

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 3>the key is separate from the central locking, so they're

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>on a key. They're both different. So when I told

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 3>my family and everyone this, they said, how'd you get

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 3>into the car? And I said, because the central locking

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 3>is on a different switch to the actual key that

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>you put in the ignition, like an old school U,

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 3>one of the old school utes that we have. So

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I was like, all right. So I got in the

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 3>car after doing my shopping, central lock sat down. I

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 3>was looking through my keys and the car key wasn't

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 3>on there. Fuck, I've had a huge night. I have

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 3>to get home. I just want to get home, shower,

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 3>I just want to like, you know what I mean?

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 2>So this is your Sunday.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is my Sunday wholesome morning. And I've driven

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 3>back on to the shops gone to and I was like,

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 3>oh my god. I was like, all right, so I've gone,

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 3>all right, I need to retrace all my steps. So

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.679
<v Speaker 3>and have you ever tried to retrace your steps after

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 3>like you've done a full shop, like gone grocery shopping,

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 3>gone shopping, go on everything.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Never, thankfully, Well it's fucked, I can imagine.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>So I'm looking on the ground. If anyone saw you

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.239
<v Speaker 3>walking around, they would have been like, fuck, this guy's

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 3>in some state. Because I was looking around getting all frantic.

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.479
<v Speaker 3>I went to colds to my grocery shop, and I

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 3>was like, all right, where did I start? Where did

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 3>I go? And I was like you know what, Actually,

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I was like, that's going to be so dumb doing that.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go aisle by aisle and see if I

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 3>see it. So I've done the whole shop and then

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 3>I've come to the conclusion. Oh and as I was

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 3>walking out, one of my ex's mum says a lope

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 3>to me, because she going on the one from when

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like sixteen eighteen. But I'm still unfriendly turned

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.359
<v Speaker 3>to her. So we're going day on the escalator and

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 3>she wanted to have a chat and I'm like, no, no,

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I need to find this today. Dressing out, got to

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 3>the car and I was like got back to my

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>car and I was like, you know what. I was like,

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know where it is. I'm gonna have to

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 3>call like carkid people who come cut a new key

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 3>for me. Accepted defeat, And as I hopped in the

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>car to call him, I looked on the ground where

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 3>my feet were and it was sitting there. So so

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 3>after all that, it was literally just sitting in the

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 3>car and I was like, fuck me. I was like,

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 3>this is this is this is the pit summed up

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 3>my day. So then I went home, I went to bed,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 3>had a knaf and woke up and went watched Violent Nights.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 3>So if anyone's seen Violent Night, I recommend watching it.

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 3>If you currently in the movie, yeah, currently movies. If

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 3>you're into Christmas movies and violence, it's a good movie.

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 3>They go together.

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>We look, I don't think it's going to be on

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>my list, but I mean each to their own.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 3>What did you get up to on the weekend? Was yours?

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 3>As less frantic as much as Sunday was. Did you

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 3>have a cheer one?

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, look, on Friday I did something very exciting, which

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I went wedding dress shopping. So basically, I'm

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>working with a designer to make my wedding dress. So

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I had my first meeting with him on Friday. So

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I kind of sat down, I told him about what

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>style of wedding I'm going to have. I kind of

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>showed him some picks from my Pinterest board that I've

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>been screenshotting and saving, and I guess we're going to

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 1>create a wedding dress together.

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 3>In my ignorance, Yeah, so your weddings I was seeing

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty four, that's what you're aiming for. Yeah, you

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 3>said a bit early to doing the dress.

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you're getting a dress made, you need a

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>year really, Yeah, so you need a full year to

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of plan. And obviously I'm going to go back

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and try on a few wedding dresses to see what

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>shape I like. Because obviously, like I could, like I

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know a specific wedding dress, but it might not

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>look good on me.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>So wouldn't it go out of fashion in a year

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 3>or something like? It might not be fashionable, might not

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 3>be well.

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, wedding dresses, you can, they're quite classic and

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>like timeless pieces.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I have to start pre planning this stuff.

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Sorry. Like I said, part of the ignorance, I don't

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 3>know what goes into planning a wedding dress.

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I think because you're a boy as well, like boys

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>aren't really that.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Interested in weddings, Like I mean, I've never planned a

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>wedding before. But Michael seems to be just kind of like, yeah,

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>like I'm happy if you're happy kind of vibe. And

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's kind of something that I hear

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Hello, you've reached.

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.320

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>but please leave us a message on our hot line

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>after the beep. Okay, so this week we are going

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to be listening to a voice mail. This is a

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>random voicemail that we've got on our hotline from a

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>girl called Maddie. Now I have listened to this, and

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>our producer Alex has listened to this, and this is

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the wildest voicemail we have ever received.

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>So Matt, you are like very excited to hear this.

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 3>I know I am. Yeah, you guys have been talking

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 3>about this affair bead I said, I'll wait till the

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 3>actual episode to have a listen.

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I had to hear it. I was like, I need

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>to know what this is about.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>And then I spoke to our producer Alex and we

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>were like, we have to get her on because we

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>just have so many questions for us.

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to listen to the voicemail, we're going to.

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 1>React to it, and then we're actually going to talk

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to Maddie. She's coming on the hot line and we're

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask all the questions.

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 2>She should know this.

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm stressed. I'm stressed for Maddie. I'm like secondhand angry

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>for her. So I think we should listen.

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Matt Nana.

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 4>My name's Maddie and this is my crazy life story.

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 4>So six years ago, I was eighteen and I met

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 4>this guy. He was twenty seven, so a little bit

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 4>of an age gap, but we fell in love instantly.

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Everything moved really quickly. We got pregnant with our first

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 4>daughter three months in fast forward.

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 5>A year after that.

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 4>We got married and got pregnant with our second daughter,

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 4>and then a few months after that we got pregnant

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 4>with our third daughter. And then late last year, November

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty one, I had our third daughter and we'd

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 4>been together for five years. Our daughter was three weeks old.

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 4>We just moved into a house together, a new house together,

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 4>and I got a message from one of my girlfriends

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 4>saying that she had found out my husband had been

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 4>cheating on me with my mum. That they had been

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 4>having an affair since before our second daughter was born,

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 4>and it continued until halfway through my pregnancy with.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 5>My third daughter, so i'd been going on for about

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 5>a year and a half.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 4>As you can believe, that was shocked me. I was

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 4>obviously just had a newborn baby. I had a three

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 4>year old and a one year old. I was so confused, shocked,

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 4>every emotion under the sun. This is obviously a short story,

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 4>but a few days later the truth did come out

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 4>and my husband ended up admitting it.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 5>Ex husband.

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 4>And I haven't had communication with my mom since then.

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 4>We had one phone call where she admitted it, but

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 4>never apologized.

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Nothing.

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 4>And now fast forward a year, a single mom to

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 4>three little babies, and it's honestly been the biggest blessing

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 4>in my life. I've met an amazing new guy who's

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 4>just taken on the role of a father figure to

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 4>my girls, like amazingly. But yeah, that's my crazy story,

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 4>and no one ever believes me when I tell them,

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 4>so it's sort of like an icebreaker conversation starter that

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 4>me and my sister like to laugh about now that obviously,

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 4>looking back, it's very traumatizing.

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 5>So, yeah, that's my crazy story.

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.319
<v Speaker 3>So we'll get Maddie on because I've got a thousand questions.

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Welln't that the wildest story you've ever heard in your

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>whole life?

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, Anna, what would you do if you found out Anne,

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Marie and Michael.

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Were I would fucking order a hit on both of them.

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>That would be I'm pissed off from Maddie, Like what

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the fuck?

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 3>I just have so many questions, like how did they

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 3>first meet the mom and the they're like.

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, probably because she was, Like this is what.

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Was their sexual chemistry? You're reackon from the start.

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>That is just so nuts, Like who what type of

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>mother is hooking up with their daughter's.

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Husband when they have three kids? So like the kids's

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 2>grandma is hooking up with the dad. It's just not right,

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:22.719
<v Speaker 2>that's fucked up.

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 3>I want to speak to her and find out.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Well we are, we're about to speak to her, but like, fuck,

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad number one that it's been a happy

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>ending for her, because geez, that is hard to get over,

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and like she's probably overcome it because she has three

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>daughters that she has to worry about.

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Think about it. You meant to trust your husband and

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 3>your mom more than anyone, and then they've both done

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 3>the dirty on you, so you've had to see those

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>both those relationships end at once, and they've both like

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 3>taken your trust away from you. So like I would

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 3>find it really hard to trust anyone after that.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I find it hard to trust anyone on

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.839
<v Speaker 1>a good day, never mind after that, I'd.

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Be like, I don't even bother try actually fucked over

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 3>by both your mum and your husband.

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Like she must have been like leaving her kids with

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the grandma and her husband.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>They must have been like together.

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Or even worse, the kids are left with her and

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 3>then the husband's going to the mum's house.

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just our poor Maddie. We have to talk to her.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Shall we get her on the phone.

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's do it. Hey Maddie, Hi, Hey Maddie. Welcome

<v Speaker 1>that you met him. But can you just take us

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>back to that day when your friend called you and

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you found out that your mom and your husband were

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>having an affair behind your back.

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So we just moved into a new house. So

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 5>I just had our third daughter, So she was two

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 5>weeks old, and I got a message from my friend

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 5>saying can you come to my house? And I was

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 5>like no, Like, I've got three little kids, Like it's

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 5>not that easy to just pack up the car and

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 5>bring them with me, yea, So like just call me,

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 5>and she's like, I really need to tell you. Like

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 5>it went back and forth a little bit, so it's

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 5>like just call me, like I'll go to the bathroom.

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 5>And I sort of had like a gut feeling, like

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 5>my heart just sank. And then she said to me

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 5>that she had all these screenshots of him messaging her

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 5>mom and explaining the whole affair to her mom what

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 5>they'd been doing.

0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 3>He was sending to your friend's mum.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so he had been messaging my friend's mum I

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 5>think maybe trying to persuade her to have an affair

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 5>with him, and then going into the details with her

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 5>about where they would do it, what had been going on,

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 5>And she had secretly been taking photos of all these

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 5>messages and snapchat and it had been going on for

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 5>quite a few months before I knew. So then, yeah,

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 5>she showed me all of that everything. Her mum came

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 5>to me and explained everything, And of course I went

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 5>to my partner at the time and said, like, what

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 5>is this and he was like, I don't know, It's

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 5>not me blah. Blah blah, And of course I knew

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 5>it was him. His name was written all over it,

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 5>it was his snapchat everything. So yeah, that's pretty much

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 5>I found out. And then it was just turmoil from there.

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 5>I rang my dad because my mom and dad were

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 5>still together. They still are together actually, and I had said,

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm coming over. I've got the three kids, Like obviously,

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I was really upset. Showed him everything. He tried to

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 5>wring my mum and she wouldn't ant. She finally answered

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 5>and he had said, look, I've found out this. You

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 5>need to come home. And she took off and we

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.239
<v Speaker 5>didn't speak to her for two days, and then she

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 5>eventually came back. I had one phone call with her,

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 5>a big argument, and that was kid. I haven't spoken

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 5>to her or seen her since, and that was a

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 5>year ago. And yeah, that's sort of the gist of

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 5>the story.

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, were you in disbelief hearing this like

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that just seems like the craziest, most absurd story ever.

0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Are we kind of like, yeah, my mum has this

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>in her.

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I sort of now looking back and speaking to

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.440
<v Speaker 5>my dad a lot, my mum had had affairs when

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 5>we were kids, or my dad so I should have,

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 5>in hindsight maybe expected it from her. But in the

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 5>months leading up to it, like as sick as it

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 5>like it feels to say this, I sort of had

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 5>a gut feeling like I knew something was going on.

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.239
<v Speaker 5>There was just times when they would be together and

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 5>no one else was there, and like they would do

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 5>like changeover from looking after my kids when I was working,

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 5>And yet there was sort of, I don't know, just

0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 5>a gut feeling that I knew something was going on.

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 5>But obviously it sounds so fucked to even think that,

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 5>So I just thought I was crazy and like a

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 5>super jealous like wife. But yeah, my gut like knew

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 5>the whole time.

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Fuck a woman's intuition.

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>We always say it, but you always have to listen

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 1>to it, because if something's like telling you something's wrong,

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 1>it's normally right.

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Just how did they Do you know any details of

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 3>how it started? When?

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, my husband pretty much told me all of

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 5>it and said that it sort of just started with

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 5>flirting and they would snutchat and things like that, and

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 5>then one day they kissed, and then the next time

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 5>they saw each other, like they would do changeover for

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 5>looking after my kids when my husband would leave for

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 5>work and I was working the whole day, so they

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 5>would like had sex once and then it just sort

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 5>of continued and they would speak about it, and because

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 5>it happened like every couple of weeks or every month

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 5>or so, and there was one time that I thought

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.439
<v Speaker 5>I'd caught them. I got home. I was here at

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 5>my parents' house, and my mum walked in the door

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 5>from work, and then my husband came in like a

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 5>minute later, and they didn't say hello to each other,

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 5>which is really strange. Normally, when they see each other,

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 5>like for the first time, we would all say hello.

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 5>So that was sort of like alarm bells. And my

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 5>gut was already like telling me something was going on.

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.359
<v Speaker 5>And then we got home and our bedroom blinds were

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 5>shot and I always leave them open, like I used

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 5>to always have to my husband about shutting the blinds

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.679
<v Speaker 5>like when it's hot, and they were down, and that

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 5>was just like my gut was just feeling terrible, like

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 5>I knew something was going on. So then I confronted

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 5>him about it, and I actually messaged my mom saying,

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 5>did you come to my house after work? And she said, yeah,

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.640
<v Speaker 5>I did. But then I like knew you guys weren't there.

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:59.640
<v Speaker 5>So I left and then she had snapchatted my husband

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 5>and I had his phone, and she said, Maddie just

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.399
<v Speaker 5>asked me if I went to your house, if she

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 5>asked you anything, tell her this is what happened. Oh

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 5>so so fuck your friend even told you.

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 5>So this was July last year. So I just fallen

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 5>pregnant with my third daughter. And then that came out

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 5>and my husband said to me that they just kissed,

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.119
<v Speaker 5>like eventually i'd gotten out, but I'm like, I know

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 5>something's going on. You need to tell me. And he said,

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 5>we just kissed and that was that. And then so

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 5>I knew about that, and I was like ten weeks pregnant,

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 5>and obviously I was like trying to I don't know.

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 5>I look back and think, why did I try and

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 5>work it out? But I was trying to work it

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 5>out for the sake of the kids. So I was like,

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 5>maybe it just was a mistake. They were both reassuring

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.120
<v Speaker 5>me that it was nothing. It was a tiny peck,

0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 5>that was all that happened. Yeah, and then I didn't

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 5>find out the whole story till yees six months later.

0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, are you poor thing? That is just

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I just can't even imagine.

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 1>How do you trust your current partner after going through

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that level of deceit from them?

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I did say, that's yeah, your mom and your husband

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 3>and your husband you mean to put a lot of

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 3>trust in and invest in and they do you dirty, Like,

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.399
<v Speaker 3>how can you come back and trust anyone after that?

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I feel like I had those worries a lot,

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 5>But I don't know if it's just because the guy

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.680
<v Speaker 5>that I'm with is like so great. But I honestly

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 5>thought I would be a lot worse than what I am,

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 5>but he is just like we have really great communication,

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 5>so that I think that's the main thing. Like I

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 5>don't feel like he's hiding anything from me. We talk

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 5>about everything, and just from the get go I've got

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.159
<v Speaker 5>like a complete different vibe of him than what I

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 5>got off my husband.

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I'm so happy for you far out.

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.719
<v Speaker 3>So you said your dad and your mom are still together.

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so they're still together. Sorry, my daughter's staying on

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 5>the door in that my grandson. Yeah, they're still together.

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.119
<v Speaker 5>So that's obviously caused a lot of dramas between my

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 5>dad and I because I just can't believe he would

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:02.879
<v Speaker 5>stay with her, But I've voiced all this to him,

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 5>and at the end of the day, like it's his decision.

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:06.679
<v Speaker 5>He has to live with her all the time, and

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 5>as long as it doesn't come between our relationship or

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 5>he's trying to force me to see her or anything

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.680
<v Speaker 5>like that, Like I just try to keep it cool.

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, So you've not seen your mom since

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>this happened, but your dad is very much still in

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>your life, is that correct?

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Yeah, I see him all the time.

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>And then what about your ex husband? How often, if

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 1>at all?

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.880
<v Speaker 5>He sees our kids every second weekend, so normally I'll

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 5>see him at like changeovers for that. And obviously in

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 5>the beginning it was really hard, like I hated him

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 5>for a long time, but now I've sort of just

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 5>let it go and just trying to copare and as

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 5>well as we can for the sake of our girls,

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 5>because it does make such a difference to their behavior

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 5>and all those sorts of things if we are getting along.

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, we even just had our daughter's youngest son's

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 5>first birthday, which we haven't been together her whole life

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:58.119
<v Speaker 5>pretty much, and he came for the party. His family

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.880
<v Speaker 5>came for the party, so yeah, yeah, we're really trying

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 5>hard to co parent together and put my own feelings

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 5>aside and put the girls first.

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm assuming your mum wasn't at that party.

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 5>Definitely not.

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Maddie.

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 1>You are a stronger person than I am, Like I

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>am looking up to you so much right now for

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>your strength for your kids, because like I just I

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I would have it in.

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Me to do that. No, I almost I can't wrap

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:25.480
<v Speaker 2>my head around it.

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you think you'll tell your daughters what's happened when

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they grow up?

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 5>I do think about this a lot because even now,

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.720
<v Speaker 5>my oldest daughter, she's only four, but we had a

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 5>massive like my mum was a massive part of our lives.

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 5>We would see her every day and especially my girls' lives.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.959
<v Speaker 5>So it has been the adjustment to especially my oldest

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 5>like not seeing her and she does ask questions like

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 5>where's Nana and whatever, and I just try to play

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 5>it off. But I think it will come a time

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 5>when they ask me about it, because they're not a

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:57.439
<v Speaker 5>part of her life, but they see my dad, and

0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.360
<v Speaker 5>I think I'm just gonna have to be honest with them,

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.159
<v Speaker 5>And you know, their dad made a massive mistake. I

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 5>don't really want to turn them on their dad, but

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 5>when they're old enough, that'll be up to them to

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:08.639
<v Speaker 5>make that decision, and he'll have a lot of explaining

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 5>to do to them.

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah fuck yeah.

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Is he Do you know about he's dating anyone? Now?

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 5>I haven't really heard. He tells me a few like

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 5>you're seeing girls or whatever, but then tries to flirt

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 5>with me when I see him, So I don't really know.

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 5>But I don't feel jealous or anything like that, like

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 5>I feel sorry for whoever's going to be with him.

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, he said he was hitting on your friend's mum

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 3>as well. Does he have like a fetish for mums

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 3>or something?

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 5>I think so he must have like a mum fetish

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 5>because they're all like fifty years old and he's thirty

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 5>and I'm a lot younger than him, So I don't know.

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 5>He must have a thing for older women. I think

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:49.639
<v Speaker 5>he just has a lot of insecurities and needs to

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 5>be wanted and needs attention all the time. So obviously

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 5>that and the thrill of doing it behind everyone's back

0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:03.119
<v Speaker 5>was enough for them. Your poor dad, Yeah, he is

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 5>the best, that's honestly why. I just don't know why

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 5>he puts up with it because he could find like

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.199
<v Speaker 5>the most amazing woman and he's like such a beautiful person.

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:12.400
<v Speaker 5>But I don't know that's up to him.

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Has your mom tried to reach out to you?

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you had that one call, But has she tried

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to like message you or call you at all?

0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, she messaged me a lot in the beginning before

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 5>I had blocked her, and then after we had our

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 5>big fight. I had blocked her because it was just

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 5>like too much. I was trying to deal with the

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:31.959
<v Speaker 5>kids and husband's side of it. I felt like her

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 5>side of it just needs to take a step back.

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 5>And obviously having a newborn baby, like my head was

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:42.119
<v Speaker 5>consumed with that. So yeah, she hadn't contacted me because

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.360
<v Speaker 5>I had blocked her. But then she'll randomly like photos

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 5>that I've been tagged in on Instagram or like it

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 5>was my birthday a few weeks ago and she sent

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 5>me a bunch of flowers just saying I miss you

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:52.879
<v Speaker 5>and I love you.

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Like, yeah, ever accept her apology and rekindle something or

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 3>you think that's just dead in the water.

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think think it's gone. Like obviously, some days

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.679
<v Speaker 5>I miss having my mum and we were so close,

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:07.199
<v Speaker 5>like it would just be nice to have her, But

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 5>it's not the same, Like once you do that, I

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 5>could never do that to my kids, So I don't

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:13.879
<v Speaker 5>know how you could do that to your daughter. So

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:15.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it'll ever come back.

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just a whole new level of low. It's just

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like the disrespect, Like, how can you come back from that?

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, one hundred.

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.639
