Speaker 1: Not again.

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: I twenty seven male, have been with my partner, twenty

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: seven the female, since we were seventeen. For the most part,

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: it's been a very strong relationship. I have always tried

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: to make her happy, and I have a major issue

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: with upsetting people. Little child of three autistic siblings. It

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: just makes me feel so uncomfortable. So I've spent the

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: last ten years doing whatever I can to make her happy.

17

00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: To give good advice goofy. But we don't have all

00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: the answers. We only know what we'd do, So let

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: us know what you do in the comments. Yeah, you know, Pisas.

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: I have organized and taken her on every holiday she's

25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: been on for the past decade. I made sure she

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: had somewhere to live and food to eat while she

27
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: moved away to university.

28
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: I sort out our bills.

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: I cooked all our meals and do all the washing up,

30
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: do the shopping, or walk the dog so she can

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: have extra time in bet. I do all the romantic

32
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: stuff with the two of us. I've basically dedicated the

33
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: past ten years to making her happy and giving her

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: the best life I can provide. I love her so much.

35
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: There are just so many things about her that I

36
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: absolutely adore. We love all the same stuff. We basically

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: never argued before. We've had the odd rough patch, but

38
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: it's never been something we haven't been able to work through.

39
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: But I think I'm out of state where I can't

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: carry on with things due to recent developments. Near the

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: start of the year, my partner went out with some

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: of her friends to a party. Will stat this party,

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: she met someone I'll call them Jay. They really hit

44
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: it off and became quite close friends in a short

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: period of time. You don't have any issues with her

46
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: having friends of the opposite gender. Most of our friends

47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: are guys anyway, and it's never bothered me, so I

48
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: wasn't fussed when she started talking about a new guy

49
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: friend of hers. Things were going fine, but I noticed

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: she would talk about him a lot. Like any available opportunities,

51
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: she would be talking about him. I stopped hearing about

52
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: all her other friends, and everything just became about him.

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: This isn't the first time this happened. There was an

54
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: issue when I first started attending university. I was living

55
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: away from home and she got close to one of

56
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: her guy friends at her college at the time. Whilst

57
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: I was away. She rang me in tears one night,

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: absolutely distraught. She eventually admitted that the two of them

59
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: had started getting a bit too quotes and that they

60
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: had shared a wasted kiss one night.

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Oh ten years were rough. Ten years and you do

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: everything for her and she can't keep that in her mind.

63
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: Yankes was very mad, but after a long conversation we

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: sorted things out and after a while I mostly got

65
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: over it. Anyway, after a while of knowing Jay, he

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 2: invited her out for a day just the two of them.

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I'm sorry, No, this is not Jay, What

68
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: this is not that wasn't Jay. Okay, that was another man.

69
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: That was what that she kissed? No, No, it wasn't Jay.

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: It had to have been.

71
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: She said. I was living away from home and she

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: got close to one of her guy friends of college

73
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: called me. It started admitting that they were close shared

74
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: a waste.

75
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Oh so this was like a difference before even knowing Jay.

76
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: This happens, yes, oh, brother.

77
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, after a while of knowing Jay, he invited her

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: out for a day just the two of them. I

79
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: found out that evening when she posted a few pictures

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: of the two of them together. Now, I know this

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: is gonna sound very petty, but I got annoyed at

82
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: this because I had taken an issue with the fact

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: that she never posted anything of us together.

84
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: And I mean like almost honestly, I'm not even well

85
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: versed in social media, like etiquette, like politics whatever. That

86
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: is crazy.

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, if she was never posting anything, I'd be like, yeah,

88
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: she just doesn't post, you know, things, Yeah, but she

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: is posting pictures of this other guy and not of you.

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: In the five years of having that account, there is

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: one picture of me, and it was for my birthday

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: three years ago. I felt like she was ashamed of

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: me almost She never mentions me to anyone and barely

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: acknowledges our relationship even after this long This also comes

95
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: with the fact that I haven't gotten a birthday or

96
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Christmas present from her in over four years and we're

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: still with her. We're still with her? Why are we still?

98
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: Why are we settling for this?

99
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: And even like a trinket, not even like a knickknack,

100
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: come on, or like a card. Come on.

101
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: She hasn't been in the best place financially, so I

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: always said, instead of buying me something, she could make

103
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: me something or design me a poster or new tattoo.

104
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: But nothing. However, she did make one of her other

105
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: guy friends a little felt plushy for his birthday last year,

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: which left me feeling a little neglected. I also found

107
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: out that Jay had dropped over two hundred pounds for

108
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: their little day trip. I decided to ask her about it,

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: as I didn't want this to be something that would

110
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: fester and become a problem later on. Dude, it's a

111
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: problem now.

112
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you should have said let me know

113
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: how much she spent on you so I can pay

114
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: that back. See is you're my girlfriend? And he shouldn't

115
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: be having to pay for anything for you.

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: After a long talk, she told me that she understands

117
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: how I feel and that she would feel the same

118
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: if I had done it to her. But as a

119
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: part of that conversation, she made a comment about no

120
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: longer seeing friend Jay, as she was worried if she

121
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: spent more time with them, she would develop feelings for him. Believe,

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: why are we with herve her?

123
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: She's literally telling you to your face, if I hung

124
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: out with this guy, I would just leave you for him.

125
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: She sucks. She talked about how she liked him way

126
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: more than p from college, the other guy she kissed.

127
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, bringing that up again. He is insane, How

128
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: she liked.

129
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Him more than anyone else, and how caught up she

130
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: had been with him. I put this down as just

131
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: her being upset and saying things she didn't really mean.

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Come on, dude, the delusion is strong with this one.

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: And because I didn't want to be controlling or tell

134
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: her what she can and can't do, I told her

135
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: she didn't have to stop being friends. Just to be

136
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: a bit more wary of my feelings and how she

137
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: treats me as a partner. This was fine, We made up,

138
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: we came to an understanding until about three days later.

139
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Wow, you did nothing. You did nothing three day.

140
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: It's been three days in fact, the same problem.

141
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Nothing happened.

142
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: I was sad at work and she texted me that

143
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Jay had asked her to go on holiday to Italy

144
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: with him the following week. What did it proposed to her?

145
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: What's going on? He is from Italy, so the accommodation

146
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: was free. All she had to do was pay for

147
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: the flight. I was not okay with this. I told

148
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: her this made me feel uneasy. And after the fact,

149
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: I've asked a few people how they feel, and they

150
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: agreed they wouldn't be okay with it either. But even

151
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: though she said she didn't mind, she spent the next

152
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: few hours just going on about it being a once

153
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: in a lifetime thing, or that she would never get

154
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: it cheaper, and how much it sucked that you had

155
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: to miss out. You're literally paying for the flight. Now,

156
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: paying for the flight. The only thing you're not playing

157
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: forest accommodations, which you can stay in a really cheap hostel.

158
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: At this point, honestly, if she's pulling that after all,

159
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: the context of like everything she said about him, everything

160
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: that we've talked about, and now she's pulling this. I'm like,

161
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: you know what, go go just don't come back here

162
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: when you get back, because we're done.

163
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: Stay with it.

164
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: We're done.

165
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Guy that takes you to Italy, I don't know.

166
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: Man, go move to Italy with Jay and be happy,

167
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: because clearly that's what you want. So leave me alone

168
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: and get out of my life.

169
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: It just felt like a constant barrage of guilt. This

170
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: is where my inability to upset people really screwed me.

171
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Bro. If you know that about yourself, you can't be

172
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: in a relationship.

173
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, Yeah. If you can't upset people, then like,

174
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: how are you going to actually talk about your feeling.

175
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta be able to say stuff to your

176
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: partner that they might not like. Yeah.

177
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: I told her. I wasn't happy about it, but either way,

178
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: one of us was going to be upset, and I

179
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: decided to prioritize her.

180
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: Well, you learned this one the hard way.

181
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: So she went and that week was heck. I spent

182
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: the entire week and just the worst mood. I was upset, agitated, grumpy.

183
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: I lost over a stone and a half and a week

184
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: eating became a chore for me, and every time I ate,

185
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: it just went to sick in my mouth. She had

186
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: promised I could ring her every day if I wanted,

187
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: but I felt like that was a little extreme, so

188
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: I asked her to just ring me at least once.

189
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: The thing is, why would you not want to call

190
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: each other day when she's away. I don't know, Like

191
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: there obviously there are times when someone's like super busy

192
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: and you can't get to the prison, but like just

193
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: the fact that you're like, it's a little extreme to

194
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: call my freaking girlfriend every day while she's away. It's

195
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: weird to me.

196
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: It is weird. What's also weird is that it's like

197
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: the I don't know, just the notion will It's like, well,

198
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: if you call me every day, then there's no way

199
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: that I could be doing anything wrong, Like, yeah.

200
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: She was the one going out and doing stuff. I

201
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: was just at work, so all my evenings were free.

202
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: She had said herself, if I wrung and she was busy,

203
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: she just wouldn't answer, So it made more sense foruring me,

204
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: but it never happened. I didn't expect to talk to

205
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: her much that week, which I was okay with, but

206
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: I wanted that one ten minute phone call, which given

207
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: everything I've done for over the years, I feel like

208
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to want at least. Once she came home,

209
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: we ended up having a bit of a falling out.

210
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: I told her how it made me feel, and she

211
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: agreed that if I had done the same to her,

212
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: it would have broken her heart as well. She admitted

213
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: she would never be okay with me doing that to her.

214
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Honestly, I hate to say this, but it's like this

215
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: kind of seeing these kind of situations makes me understand

216
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: why people like Andrew Tate have a voice, because it's

217
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: like people like this go through this relationship and find

218
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: that guy and they're like they're like that's what I

219
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: did wrong, or like that's how it should be, And

220
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: it's like when the.

221
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 2: Real question is just actually communicating and standing up hers.

222
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just having like just self respect and being

223
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: able to because he's gonna go upset somebody.

224
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: The problem is he's gonna leave this relationship and be

225
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: like I dedicated my life dwarf for ten years.

226
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: Yes exactly.

227
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's like, no, you were a doormat for ten years.

228
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: And like you literally chose to do that, and you

229
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: were aware of it. You're like, yeah, this is where

230
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: my inability to upset people really well, you're upsetting me. Yeah,

231
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: you're upsetting both of us.

232
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: So stop it and leave this relationship. Things were awkward,

233
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 2: but eventually she decided to go back and spend a

234
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: few weeks at her months. She admitted that since January, she.

235
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: Goes on a trip with this guy to Italy and

236
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: then is like, I'll go to my mom's house for

237
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: a double leafs.

238
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of awkward. I don't really like the vibes.

239
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

240
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: Instead of actually like talking about it.

241
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: And like trying to fix this problem that I made

242
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: by insisting I go to Italy, I'm gonna leave again.

243
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: She admitted that since January she had felt like she

244
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: was just living on autopilots. With it being her last

245
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: term at university, she was under a lot of stress,

246
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: but also that she had upset me and wanted to

247
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: take some time on her own to sort out where

248
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: her head was at so that she could stop doing

249
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: things she knew what upset me. She also didn't tell

250
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: her parents about the trip until the day before she left,

251
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: whilst I was around, because she knew they wouldn't be

252
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: okay with it. I wasn't super happy about the time out,

253
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: and she basically stopped talking to me. I would get

254
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: maybe a message every eighteen to twenty seven hours, but

255
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: I knew she needs some peace and some time to think,

256
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: so I got over it. Instead. I chose to start

257
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: trying to improve myself and work on some things that

258
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: I should have done ages ago. But then a few

259
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: days ago, she told me that she's planning to go

260
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: back with him to Italy. I thought this was a

261
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: once in a lifetime thing. I thought this was literally

262
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: once in a lifetime. You're doing it twice in a lifetime.

263
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: Oh, she's literally the worst, dude. Just leave her. Leave her.

264
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: You have to have the self respect to go you

265
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: know what, I see what's going on here, no matter

266
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: how bad it hurts me. I see what's going on here,

267
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: and go ahead. Didn't just stay in Italy?

268
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know she loved it over there, because since

269
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: she came back, her trip and friend Jay have once

270
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: again become the dominant conversation topic. At this point, it's

271
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: the only topic. If I'm talking to her about something,

272
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: she finds some way to relate it to Jay and Italy.

273
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: When she first got back, we had her talk, and

274
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: in part of that I told her I didn't want

275
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: her going on another couple's holiday with him. I have

276
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: no issue if it's a big group where she's taking

277
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: her other friends or family, but I just can't go

278
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: through that week again, especially after everything that was said

279
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: before the first time, and now that we are on

280
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: this time out. And she agreed, she knew how I felt,

281
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: how it would have made her feel, and she agreed

282
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: that was okay. But then she mentioned it so casually

283
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: like it meant nothing at all. When I brought up

284
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: the fact I had an issue with it, she just

285
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: shot me a dirty look and went really quiet and

286
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: sulky with me. She left the next day as she

287
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: had to go to her mom's, and it's been fairly

288
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: quiet since, including.

289
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: On our Anna versary, Like you might as well just

290
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: have like a bullhorn in your ear, and she's screaming

291
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: break up with me, and like she's I guess to like,

292
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, cowardly or whatever you want to call it,

293
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: to just break up with you. Clearly that's what she wants,

294
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: but you also literally give her everything, ye, so she

295
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: can't bring herself to do it.

296
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: I just don't understand the logic of doing something you

297
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: know will upset your partner, then agreeing that it would

298
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: do the same to you, then saying that a timeout

299
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: was needed to stop her from upsetting me at her

300
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: friends and family, then less than two weeks later going

301
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: off to do the exact thing that hurt us all

302
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: in the first place. She doesn't care. I hate the

303
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: idea of being controlling or telling her what or who

304
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: she can and can't spend time with, But I feel

305
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: like our relationship just doesn't exist to her when Jay

306
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: is around.

307
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Buddy, it doesn't exist anymore period.

308
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: In a relationship with Jay.

309
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Even if Jay it wasn't around anymore and Jay disappeared,

310
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: your relationship is functionally over. Yeah, it's done. It will

311
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: be the next guy. Who is Jay? The first it

312
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: was p Now it's Jay's LUSA, going to.

313
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: Be next same time it's happened, Who's.

314
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: The next letter in the alphabet.

315
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: The fact that she's aware of my feelings and just

316
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: casually throws them around is really off to me. Everyone

317
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: I've talked to, including her and her own parents, have

318
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: told me that I'm in the right to feel how

319
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: I do, how I do so much for her, only

320
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: to be treated like a rebound for when her next

321
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: new guy friend gets bored of her. All of her

322
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: guy friends in the past five years have ended up

323
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: ignoring her after a while, whether it's because they moved

324
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: on or got girlfriends. They've always made her feel crappy

325
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: when they leave, but she has no problem still prioritizing

326
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: them even when it makes me feel crappy.

327
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: And she's been pulling this cycle on you for five years,

328
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: ten years, although they've been together for ten years.

329
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but she's been doing stuff like this

330
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: four ten years. My point is she's been doing it

331
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: for ten years. I just don't know what to do anymore.

332
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: I still love her and still want a girl old

333
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: with her, but I can't do that if she's just

334
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: going to carry on like but I am. I also

335
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: just being petty and jealous.

336
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Opie, Well, your parents did a number on you, my guy,

337
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: for you to think this. Oh lord, wow, No, what

338
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: happened to you in your upbringing? But man, yeah, you're

339
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: allowed to not like any of this. You're allowed to

340
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: be like the guy you explicitly told me you would

341
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: develop feelings for. Yeah, I don't want you to go

342
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: on a trip with him to Italy. Yep. Also, if

343
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: you are gonna tell me that I'm breaking up with you, yep.

344
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't shake that feeling, no matter how many

345
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: people tell me. I'm justified in my feelings. And there

346
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: is an update, folks, But what do you.

347
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Think, because this guy needs freak up like a fifty

348
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: gallon bucket of ice water dumped on him, like buddy,

349
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the cold you need the cold water you've needed. You

350
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: need the cold water yesterday, agreed.

351
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: No, I mean, ohp he's like just so programmed to

352
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: think that he's doing something wrong by even questioning this,

353
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: you know, clear breach of trust, clear breaking of boundaries,

354
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: and Opiece is like vision, Am I wrong for being upset?

355
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Where does this come from? Too? Is this like a

356
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: sunk cost thing? Or is it like this is my

357
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: only option?

358
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: I've spent so much, like I've dedicated my life to her?

359
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: Opi continues, though, to put a long story short, you

360
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: were all right, Oh, no, brutal, but it needed to

361
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: be m Yeah, you couldn't put up with that anymore

362
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: when everyone I know and almost a hundred strangers on

363
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: the internet all told me that I deserved better. It

364
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: just took a lot too much for me to get

365
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: over that hump. A bit after I first posted, I

366
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: sat down with her and explained that what she did

367
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: was unforgivable. As much as you will all hate it,

368
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: I could have forgiven her for the first time. We

369
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: were together for so long, and I thought if she

370
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: started putting in the effort and got rid of her

371
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: new guy, we could work it out. But to know

372
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: how it made me feel and to still try and

373
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: get away with it again was just too far. It

374
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: took me way too long to get my head together.

375
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: But after a while of therapy and her ignoring my

376
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 2: texts for a few weeks, what she was ignoring her

377
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: texts for a few weeks.

378
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: After you were like, I'm bringing up with you. After

379
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: I said you know, you said, I guess there isn't

380
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: really a breakup yet. You just said it was Dave

381
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: was unforgivable, and then she ignored you for leagues.

382
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: There wasn't a breakup yet.

383
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

384
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, I dropped all her stuff off at her mom's.

385
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: I included a big list of all the stuff she

386
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: needed to pay me back for, then rang her while

387
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: she was away at her uniflat and broke up with her.

388
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: I explained that the entire time this was going on,

389
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: not once did she put any effort into fixing the problem.

390
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: Kept telling me how much she loved me and missed me,

391
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: and how when she thinks of marriage, it's still me.

392
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: At the altar, I thought this was all BS. It

393
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: is because at every opportunity she had to fix things,

394
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: she doubled down on her obsession with her new guy.

395
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: Sorry I got rid of her just to address a

396
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: couple of things. Yes, I'm really really dumb and should

397
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: have got this over with way sooner. After reading a

398
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 2: lot of comments and talking to my therapist, I realized

399
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't in love with her, more so the idea

400
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: of her what we could be if she ever bothered

401
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: to put any effort in. But she had ten years

402
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: to put that effort in, so I don't know why

403
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: I expected.

404
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Her to now as a very classic trap, Yeah, it's

405
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: happened to many a friend of mine. Is it just

406
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: with a partner. I'm like, why are you with this person?

407
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, but like I just see us

408
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: like five years from now, like and it's like, yeah,

409
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: but you're you got to see where you are right now.

410
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: You're imagining something that doesn't exist. Yes, so he continues,

411
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: I should start going to a gym, but I have

412
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: no idea what I'm doing. So I've started with some

413
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: home exercises and it's really helped distract me from things,

414
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: which is great. My confidence, which was never super iyey

415
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: to begin with, is pretty shot at the minute. I

416
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: find it difficult to get past doing so much for

417
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: so long just for it to be irrelevant in the end.

418
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: But my therapist likes to keep reminding me that it's

419
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: not that I didn't do enough, just not enough for her.

420
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: That's her problem and not mine, so I'll get over

421
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: it eventually. I'm doing fine. It still hurts, I think,

422
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: given how long we were together and now it ended,

423
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 2: it will always be something I feel. But at the

424
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: end of the day, it's her fault. She messed up.

425
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: She lost me for him, and from what I know

426
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: about him, she got the short end of the stick.

427
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: I've been trying to reach out to some old friends

428
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: as I realized I'm pretty lonely. I only really have

429
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: one proper friend and he has a busy life with kids,

430
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: so I need to make some more friends. This year

431
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: has been incredibly rough. Over my birthday and Christmas up

432
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: until February, my mother was in critical condition in a

433
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: hospital and almost passed. No, she's okay now and recovering well.

434
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 2: But that, combined with the issues in my relationship and

435
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 2: the general world doom and bloom. Things have been rough.

436
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: But there is a little bit left to this story

437
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: and a final five.

438
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: We got there. We're not at the finish line, but

439
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: we did get there. I sure, did you know? There's

440
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: work to be done? Yeah, but at least you removed

441
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: the main issue. I would think. I would agree. Hard

442
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: to feel good about yourself after ten.

443
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: Years of this, Yeah, but I hope that you're able

444
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: to like find, you know, people that are more supportive

445
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: of you in the future. Ope finishes. I've just brought

446
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: myself a new Monster PC with the saved holiday money,

447
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: and me and my friend are planning a trip somewhere

448
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: once he gets the free time. As of now, my

449
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: only issue is when to try and find someone new.

450
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: I miss a lot of the comfort that comes with

451
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: the relationship more than anything. At a minute, I just

452
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: want to cuddle in someone to call me handsome. I

453
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: would say, not until you're able to not people please

454
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 2: yike it to this degree. No, no, no, no no, But

455
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: I'm just unsure if I'm in the right headspace. You're not.

456
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm positive you're not, really.

457
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: Not, as I wouldn't want to put my baggage on

458
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: someone else craving for that comfort. Pair with the fact

459
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: that I was the one that got hurt and I'm

460
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: the one left with almost no one leaves me in

461
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: two minds about whether or not to try getting out

462
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: there a bit more. And that is the end of

463
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: that story, folks. But uh, yeah, I get into a

464
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: better headspace, So p please.

465
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: Get out there a bit more to just meet other people.

466
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: You don't have to, like me, make more friends, and

467
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: you can just go out and like meet a person

468
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: or meet a woman and like not pursue anything with

469
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: them and just figure out, hey, okay, that's what that

470
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: feels like, Oh I'm going on a date and like

471
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: figuring out who someone is instead of being like, oh, like,

472
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait to make this person someone who can

473
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: comfort me.

474
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to like rely on someone else

475
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: for that you would have just met for all that

476
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: emotional needs.

477
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: Give yourself a big old self hug. You know LP.

478
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: But that's the end of that story, and we've got

479
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: another one coming right up.

480
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm dumping my girlfriend because she openly disagrees with my mother.

481
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: What'd your mother say?

482
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: My girlfriend, Rachel twenty four female, and I twenty six male,

483
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: have been together for eight months. We recently made a

484
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: trip out west for a little over a week's vacation.

485
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: Our last stop was paying a visit to my parents.

486
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: This was the first time my girlfriend met them. We

487
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: stayed over at their place for a couple of days

488
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: before returning home. By the way this comes from, you

489
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: should throw away eight one two one five, and if

490
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: you want to submit your own stories, go to the

491
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: our slash showcase storytime subburd it. I'm Dakota, I'm Sophia,

492
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: and we're here to give you good advice. Goofully, but

493
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: we don't have all the answers, so if you do

494
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: something different, let us know in the comments. And Op says.

495
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: When we arrived at my parents' house, my mom said

496
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: that she got our room ready and to go ahead

497
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: and make ourselves at home and relax and go in

498
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: the hot tub if we wanted hot to Rachel acted

499
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: surprised and said something like made me get to stay

500
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: in our own bedroom together. Wow, my parents would never

501
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: allow that unless we're married. My mom laughed and said

502
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: that they were thinking of taking us out for dinner

503
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: later tonight if we would like, and just you know,

504
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: let her know when we'd like to go. We did

505
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: our own thing for a few hours, fooled around like

506
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: sneaky teenagers do. I felt good about being back home

507
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: with Rachel. We all drove together to the restaurant and

508
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: chatted about what we did on vacation and reminisced about

509
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. At dinner, Rachel started talking about marriage and

510
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: kids and said something like, I have to have kids

511
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: before I hit thirty. It doesn't matter for guys, though,

512
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: but us women can't procrastinate. It was a little awkward.

513
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if Rachel was just nervous or didn't

514
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: realize my parents had me when they were older, or

515
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: just didn't care. My parents didn't say much, but I

516
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: know that they weren't particularly impressed by Rachel.

517
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, I mean it's rude, but you do

518
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: you can't have kids later. But like there is like

519
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: kind of there is a more incentive for women to

520
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: have kids earlier because you can have more health yeeah problems. True, Yeah,

521
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: but I guess that would be rude if they. I

522
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: guess it depends on how she said it.

523
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: I think it was just already weird, being like, oh, really,

524
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: my parents would never let us do that.

525
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: It's like, it depends on how she's saying it. She's

526
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: like she's my parents would never let us think yeah,

527
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: or she was like, well, you know, I want to

528
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: get you know, I want to have kids soon.

529
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't think oh, he would say that if it

530
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: was yes, it was yeah, you know, if she was

531
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: just being funny.

532
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: Like yeah, you know, yeah, it depends.

533
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: When we got back to our own room for the night,

534
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: I asked Rachel why she brought that up, and did

535
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: she know that my mom had me when she was older.

536
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: She said she knew, and that she doesn't agree with

537
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: my mom's priority.

538
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's weird, and so now I was just trying

539
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: to give her the bet of the doubt. She's weird

540
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: now because ye, people can have babies whenever they want.

541
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: It's just obviously it's.

542
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: Gonna be harder, yeah when you're older, and that my

543
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: parents are too liberal.

544
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: Okay, No, benefit of the dub for you, Rachel.

545
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: The next day we returned back to the other coast.

546
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 1: I love my parents and my mom is amazing. I

547
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: like Rachel's frankness. I always found it refreshing, but she

548
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: just came across tactless to me. I'm kind of bugged

549
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: by Rachel's behavior. It's weird, but I feel like her

550
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: not respecting my mom means she doesn't respect me. I

551
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: think this is grounds for breaking up, but I'm not

552
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: sure if I'm being irrational. Any advice or thoughts, and

553
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: we do have some comments.

554
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: Honestly, you guys are eight months into it. She's showing

555
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: you that you guys have different values. I feel like

556
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: it's you're just not the right match.

557
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: First time eating the parents. Yeah, and you're like, no,

558
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: I was trying to make your mom feel bad about

559
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: having kids when she was older.

560
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.

561
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: I'd be crazy. Yeah. Anyone who's like, you know, I

562
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: actively went out of my way. It's different if it's like, oh,

563
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: maybe there's like a contentious relationship, maybe you're defending your

564
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: partner from their parents, but you're just going out of

565
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: your way.

566
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: It's twice. Yeah, she did Chwice it's it's clear that

567
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: she has a lot more conservative values, but instead of

568
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: being respectful and being like, well, that's just wow, I

569
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: want it, she's actively trying to make your parents feel

570
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: bad for not having those same values, and if you

571
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: don't have those same values, then it's like not gonna work.

572
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: I just I can't imagine ever pulling out crazy. We

573
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: do have some comments from Longo Bongo. Opie read this

574
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: comment ten times. I'm only gonna read it once though,

575
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: because I'm not Opie. It is absolutely baffling to me

576
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: that your girlfriend would dare call your parents too liberal

577
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: when she was reaping the benefits of them being too

578
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: liberal while she was there. Your girlfriend is rude, and

579
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: I would feel embarrassed if my significant other treated my

580
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: parents that way. Miss misfit says, your girlfriend is rude,

581
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: and I would feel embarrassed if my significant other treated

582
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: my parents that way. Forget about the too liberal comment.

583
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: She scolded his mom for having a late in life baby.

584
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: She should be thanking her for bringing him into the world,

585
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: not condemning her. And that's aside from how crazy rude

586
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: it is to comment on someone else's reproductive choices. Period

587
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: vengeance Pigeon says, your real problem is that you and

588
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: Rachel appear to come from different backgrounds in terms of values,

589
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: and that she clearly believes her family values are inherently superior.

590
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: She was lightly rude to your parents in person based

591
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: on this account, and really rude in private when speaking

592
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: about your mother's choices to you, It's clear she only

593
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: respects people who agree with her. Think about how that's

594
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: going to play out. As your relationship becomes more serious

595
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: and there is an update, I hope it's a break.

596
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: Up update me too. Yeah, I just don't think this

597
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: relationship is your only muns in. I think you've realized

598
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: that you're not a.

599
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: Match, and that's fine openly telling me you are out

600
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: of your way to try to upset my own mother.

601
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah bye over, Not just like oh yeah, she like

602
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: likes the wrong sports team. It's like, yeah, over the

603
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: time frame she had a baby at during her life.

604
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 2: Crazy, you are done?

605
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah with me, it's a crazy update. I was trying

606
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: to downplay my concerns about the incidents at my parents' place.

607
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: I met up with Rachel at her place before maybe

608
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: heading for dinner together. I let her know that I

609
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about what she said about my mom

610
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: during vacation, and I'm just gonna provide a dialogue about

611
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: what was exchange to make it easier for me and

612
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: hopefully less confusing me. I'm still trying to understand why

613
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: you said what you said at dinner and why you

614
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: are in such disagreement with my mom. Rachel, so weird?

615
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: How good looking your dad still is?

616
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: What? Sorry? You said? You brought up a concern and

617
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: then she, instead of responding to that concern, said your

618
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: dad's hot. That is hocked, and he said, what we Okay.

619
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: It's so weird? How good looking your dad still is?

620
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 1: He could have been a model when he was younger. Oh,

621
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: your mom is not anywhere in the same league as

622
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: your dad.

623
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: Me, that's insane.

624
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't understand what you're talking about, Rachel. I

625
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: think it's odd that they're together. It's creepy, Rachel. Rachel,

626
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: come here, you're a creepy You're a weirdo for that, Rachel,

627
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: you're a weirdo. You're partnering.

628
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: Ohs, media breakup.

629
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: I would like to talk about why you said what

630
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: you said about my mom, and you go your dad

631
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: is a smoke show.

632
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: Your dad's a stone cold ten, your mom shouldn't be

633
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: with them, and I hate your parents together and their relationship.

634
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: I am my parents love each other. I don't get

635
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: the problem you have. I think that you purposefully brought

636
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: up having kids earlier than my mom. To criticizer Rachel, well,

637
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't like your mom. I don't have to like her. Actually,

638
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: you kind of are gonna have to at least like

639
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: my mom a little bit. If we're gonna be in

640
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: a relationship, we're not gonna be.

641
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: So it's fine. You can keep on not liking her. Google,

642
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: I'm never seeing you again.

643
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy. The rest of the conversation was more teeth pulling.

644
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: I had already given thought about what happened last week,

645
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: and I guess I share a chapter or two from

646
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: my parents' book. I want to feel confident about my partner.

647
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: Rachel gives me doubt, not comfort. A lot of comments

648
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: mentioned that I may have been oblivious, and what I

649
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: initially perceived as frankness was likely always tactlessness, and that

650
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: I may have not noticed it was tactless because I

651
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: was in agreement. I think these were factors, but I

652
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: also didn't agree with Rachel. Always on her opinions. I

653
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: just didn't disagree either. I broke up with Rachel last night.

654
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: Her parting words were, A mama's boy is just plain

655
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: ugly and you're cursed with your mom's looks.

656
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: Jesus, what bye? That's it? That and that that's it

657
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: and that's a wrap.

658
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: Folks, can you believe this?

659
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: That's crazy, that's absolutely wild.

660
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't think you're anywhere close to

661
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: mama's boy territory.

662
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: Oh, because you said, hey, don't criticize my mom for

663
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: having a baby.

664
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Later, what is up with her? Like that's like a complex?

665
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: No. I genuinely think she's fought, like she saw the dad,

666
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 2: fell in love with them or infatuation with him, and

667
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: then was like, oh my god, I need to break

668
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: up their marriage and I need to break up with

669
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: my boyfriend so that I can get with his dad.

670
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: A mama's boy is just plain ugly. I don't know

671
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: exactly what to call the girlfriend who says your dad

672
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: is too hot for your mom, but whatever that person

673
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: is is way uglier than her mama's boy. Oh yeah, yeah,

674
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: good riddance, you did good op sheeesh. Let's finish this story.

675
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: There's an edit here. So I rang my parents to

676
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: let them know I broke up with Rachel. I spoke

677
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: to my dad first, and he said, you made a

678
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: good decision. She was dumber than a box of hair,

679
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: which is not a phrase. Now I'm upset at your

680
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: hot dad, because that's not a phrase.

681
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: He's so hot that he can come up with whatever

682
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: he says.

683
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: He's just like John Ham from thirty Rock.

684
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: I actually personally love coming up with random phrases. I

685
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: go like, oh, she's slower than a.

686
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: You know, she's slower than a jar molasses in the

687
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: winter exactly, But that's a phrase anything, man, I guess

688
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: a box of hair. Would he be dumb?

689
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like where does that come from?

690
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Molasses is slow in the winter because it's viscous and

691
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: when it's cold it's thicker.

692
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: Hair is dumb, You can't.

693
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: Here's just the stuff that's on the head. It's the

694
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: brain inside that does the thought.

695
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: It's freaking dune. She's slower than a tar spill.

696
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: Is a box of hair? Just a way to say

697
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: someone without a brain, because it's like the hair on

698
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: their head just goes into their skull. Try that's the

699
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: only thing I could. I am, she's so mad at.

700
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: Your hot dad. He's too hot.

701
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: Ah, that's so hot. Hey, y'all, it's John oj Host. Here.

702
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to the stories, but here's a

703
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: quick three minute break from Asper more sponsors. Then I

704
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: spoke to my mom and she asked why I ended it.

705
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: I told her that she was too irrational and contradictory.

706
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: She wasn't convinced that was the entire reason, so I

707
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: told her everything. Since she has a pretty thick skin.

708
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: She had a real good laugh and said that Rachel's

709
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: just a mean girl, and she's glad that it didn't

710
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: take me longer than eight months to work that one out.

711
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: And she also told my dad that he's still got it. Yeah,

712
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: we have some final comments here. Dee Coult says her

713
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: parting words, A mama's boy is just playing ugly and

714
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: you're cursed with your mom's looks. It's so seldom happens

715
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: that our life decisions are validated so immediately and unambiguously

716
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: onwards and upwards. Smit It says that line is so

717
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: much cringe. I can barely stand it. She's trying to

718
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: insult him. In verse what not a bird, not a plane.

719
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Downvoted says, to be fair, that was a sick burn.

720
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: Not really though it wasn't really a sick burn. You're

721
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: all you're a mama's boy, and also you're ugly like

722
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: your mom is like pretty bad burn. That's pretty like

723
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: third grade yeah, level like burnage.

724
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: Not really third degree, more like third grade.

725
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Hey, and that's a called a clever joke, word pun cleverness.

726
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: You that hot dad?

727
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Stop it? I want them. He's my hot dad, He's mine.

728
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: I love boxes of hair, even though they're dumb. Opie says, hey,

729
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: I thought so too. I actually have been laughing over it.

730
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: I agree that her last words were a favorite to me.

731
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: I won't be second guessing this breakup. She sent me

732
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of text today saying she didn't mean anything

733
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: and to give her another chance to explain. I'm tired

734
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: of how contradictory she is, and I don't feel obligated

735
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: to listen to another explanation. She's already crossed the line

736
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: of no return. Another downloaded comment says, good riddance. Really

737
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: one thing though, that I think is worth for you

738
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: to consider. No need to even reply, Just want you

739
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: to think about it really After your first post, I

740
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: was left thinking that she seemed like one of those

741
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: people who will bring up things she doesn't agree with,

742
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: jes to be antagonistic. I still think she is that

743
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: kind of person and that it is great for you

744
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: to have broken up with her, But her parting words

745
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: and the fact that she seems to flat out resent

746
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: your mom and not your dad made me wonder if

747
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: in the time you've been together you have not done

748
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: or said stuff that had made her feel that way.

749
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: What if you have That is also not necessarily a

750
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: bad thing. She may just be insecure and hearing you

751
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: talk positively about your mom made her jealous and resent her,

752
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: which again says it's a good thing for you to

753
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: break up with her. I don't know what this is

754
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: going is, but there is the chance that you are

755
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: too attached to your mom and that it shows in

756
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: the way you talk and act, and that is why

757
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: she felt this way. Which, even if that was the case,

758
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: the way Rachel handled it was crappy. Yeah, and you're

759
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: still better off. What are you talking about? This makes

760
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: no sense, You're like, on the one hand, it could

761
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: have been your fault, but even if it was, you

762
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: should have broken up with her. But also it's something

763
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: to think about that if you like your mom too much,

764
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: it might make your partner kind of upset. But also

765
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: if your partner ever gets upset because you like your mom,

766
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: you should break up with them.

767
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that.

768
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: You make this comment?

769
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: Stupid gone, I see why that was downvoted dumb a

770
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 2: box of it.

771
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: I'll tell you when you ever wrote that comment. Never

772
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: did box of hair? Would do you like me yet? Oh?

773
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: Piece hot?

774
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: Dad?

775
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: Do you like this? Do you like me? And also,

776
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: will you tell me all of your all your secrets

777
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: to how you stay so hot?

778
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: Tell me all secrets?

779
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: Do you have a box full of hair? Yeah? Op

780
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: replies to this commenter. I live on the East Coast,

781
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: over two thousand miles away from my parents. We don't

782
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: have an extremely close relationship, but I emailed them often

783
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: and call them once a week or every other week,

784
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: depending My mom and I share the same profession, and

785
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: my parents used to live in the same city I

786
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: reside in now. Maybe Rachel viewed those commonalities as my

787
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: being too influenced by my mom, but I feel like

788
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: that'd be a stretch. And again, that's the end of

789
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: that story. But that that commenter said that if you did,

790
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: you should have broke up with there anyway. So whatever. Yeah, well,

791
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: I think there's you know, I mean, it's kind of

792
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: like I don't have siblings, but I think siblings are

793
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: allowed to be mean and make fun of each other

794
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: at a clip that other people can't. So it's like

795
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, I don't know, I don't You guys

796
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: probably don't really do that, but it's like, yeah, it's

797
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: like you can kind of like give your sibling like

798
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: a lot of crap, but as soon as somebody else does,

799
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: you're like, whoa are you talking? What are you talking

800
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: about it? Hey, cool your jets, that's my brother, that's

801
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: my sister. I can say, there, you stop talking running

802
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: your mouth about my sister. Same thing with you know,

803
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: with parentals.

804
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I complained my mom. Don't talk about

805
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: my mommy that way about my mom.

806
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: I know my mom's annoying you you know my mom

807
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: like that?

808
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 2: No, my mom.

809
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: We're just assuming she's annoying, which is true, but you

810
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: need to meet her first.

811
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: He's actually a real nice lady.

812
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: Let the records show that my mom is not annoying

813
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: most of the time, and that she's a wonderful woman,

814
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: and I can't talk about it, like you're not allowed

815
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: to say anything about my mom except that she's cool

816
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: and awesome.

817
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: Don't even look her in the eyes.

818
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: But that is the end of that story, and we've

819
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: got to jump. I do find it difficult to look

820
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: at your mother in the eyes. She is intimidating, Oh

821
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: my mom. But that is the end of that story.

822
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: We have another one coming right up.

823
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 2: You sure do. My ex called me manipulative for asking

824
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 2: him to stop flirting with another woman.

825
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're trying to manipulate me into being a good boyfriend.

826
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

827
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: And this comes directly from the r slash okay storytime

828

829
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,560

00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: not like when I talk to people that know him.

Speaker 2: seven and my ex is Adam thirty five. Eh, there

833
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,640

834
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 2: three to thirty four, I believe, and we'll call her Helga.

835
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: Let's go Helga.

836
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,400

839
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm Sophia, I'm Dakota, and we're.

840
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: Here to give good advice. Goofully. Well, we don't have

841
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: all the answers. We only know what we'd do, So

842
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: let us know what you would do in the comments.

843
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: Eh and O Pieceas I was working at Staples in

844
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: the print and marketing department, went in walks this man

845
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 2: with a mask and his hood up, and I couldn't

846
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: take my eyes off of him. That man ended up

847
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: being Adam. I'm sorry only see his eyes and I

848
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 2: couldn't take my eyes off his eyes.

849
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, was it because you were worried he might commit

850
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: a crime of some kind?

851
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: Be it?

852
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: He walked into Staples masked and with his hood up

853
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: and his hands in his pockets, and I thought, why

854
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: is he walking directly towards the register?

855
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: He probably wants to ask for my number. The problem

856
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: was I was in a harmful relationship physically and mentally

857
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: that I was working on getting out of with Chad.

858
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: Adam and I got to know each other a bit

859
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: through my second phone, which I had to plan my

860
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: escape route from Chad since Chadam my main phone cloned.

861
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: Dang terrifying.

862
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: This is all terrible, that's terrible.

863
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: One day, Chad threatened me for the last time and

864
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: I up and left. I was not moving back in

865
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: with my parents. I asked friends and everyone. Adam gave

866
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: me a place to stay. After about eight months of

867
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: living together, Adam and I started dating. So yes, I

868
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: had to deal with a lot of his bs before

869
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: we got together, rotating women and all. And I didn't

870
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: help that I was also on the roster. As our

871
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: relationship developed, I would get insecure and ask him questions

872
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: all the time because I saw how he was with

873
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: other women. This led to a lot of fights. Those

874
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: disagreements led to him cheating on me and me finding out.

875
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: I also found out that he liked messaging and flirting

876
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: with them. He was adding random s mexy women on

877
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 2: Facebook all the time. Yet I stayed, not wanting to

878
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: ruin the non refundable cruise that was booked. You stayed

879
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 2: together because you were you were going on a cruise.

880
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes a good cruise is worth staying with the guy

881
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: who cheats on you constant. I don't know if that's true,

882
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: it's not. I'm just kid.

883
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm just joking, since the last cruise he went on

884
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: was with an ex. The cruise saved our relationship, No

885
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: it didn't. The cruise has handcuffed you to your relationship,

886
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: but did not save.

887
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: The cruise saved our relationship, and the captain saved everyone's

888
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: life when he avoided bad Asberg.

889
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: We came back from the cruise and started building a

890
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: business together. I also wanted to work on my own business.

891
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: We install appliances for a living. I wanted another woman

892
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: with us, since women in the trades are considered unicorns.

893
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 2: This is when Helga enters the picture. I got to

894
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: know her. I became friends with her. I told Adam

895
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: she's amazing and we should figure something out for her.

896
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: But I didn't want her working alongside him since we

897
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 2: work separately. You never agreed to it. You started riding

898
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: with her against my wishes. A little time passes and

899
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 2: I noticed things that catch my eye, like her adding

900
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: him on Facebook as a friend and blocking me.

901
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: Okay, noticing that particular combo pretty revealing of someone's intent.

902
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: Hey it's John here. We're gonna get back to this episode.

903
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: But a quick three minute break with aswer more sponsors.

904
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 2: Then when the three of us hang out, her bending

905
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 2: over and shaking her butt by him, she had the

906
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: nerve to call me crazy and sweet talked Adam to

907
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 2: be on her side. He always chose her side. Yeah,

908
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 2: your relationship is not good. Is not good. Gotta end this.

909
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, at least it's an ex. It's already over. Yes,

910
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: Adam is already the ex. It's just true. But she

911
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: she just touched my foot, winn her foot. It was disgusting.

912
00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: What you didn't what he even noticed nus For some reason,

913
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: I feel versed out that way. No, I don't even know.

914
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel anymore. This is crazy.

915
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: Break up with Adam earlier.

916
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I hated him about this after multiple times with

917
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: him not caring about me enough to let her go

918
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 2: and calling me manipulative for asking for it. He has

919
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: called me crazy for these emotions that revolve around Helga

920
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: and selfishness. All this led to our breakup. Yeah, but

921
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 2: there is a little bit left to this story. Any

922
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: final thoughts.

923
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 1: I'm glad you stopped dating Chad.

924
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you broke up.

925
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry you ended up with Adam right after.

926
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: That yeah, two backed back.

927
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: But I think there might be a thing where usually

928
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: after you get out of a really bad relationship, your

929
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: first one, is it the first one you get into

930
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: after that, is it gonna be the best one?

931
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: Well, because you're searching for people that, like, I mean

932
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 2: the adam in I think GOP's eyes kind of saved her.

933
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: From this relationship. Yeah, in a way for a place,

934
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: And so I feel like there's.

935
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: Kind of that yeah, like trauma bonding.

936
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: It it's like because you met him, like in the

937
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: midst of you being this other guy, like there's some

938
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: level of.

939
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: I'll forgive yeah, yeah.

940
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like, really, just get out there and

941
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: meet a lot of people. Keep your own roster, you know,

942
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: get a roster you will.

943
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: But I'm glad that you were out of this relationship.

944
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: To clarify, he broke up with me because I kept

945
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: asking him questions about him and held out no.

946
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, I mean, I'm glad that y'all bolt up,

947
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: But I'm upset that you were the one to see

948
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: that you were worth wider at I'm not stupid.

949
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: I know the moment we broke up, they slept together.

950
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: There may not have been any physical cheating, but there

951
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: was definitely emotional cheating. If he can do that so

952
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: quickly after being together three years and asking me to

953
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: marry him, Ah, did you say no?

954
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: What?

955
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: He still says, I'm in the wrong for asking him

956
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: to cut her out of his life if he has

957
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: any hope of rekindling this What do you think? No,

958
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: I'm not perfect, but don't I at lea deserve to

959
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 2: know I am the only person worth Adam's attention? Or

960
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: is that wrong of me to think? And I should

961
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 2: be okay with the friends that are girls? Well, Helga

962
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: is not a friend that is a girl. She is

963
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 2: a girl that wants to be his girlfriend.

964
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think there's a difference between being the only

965
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: one worthy of his attention, which I don't think is

966
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: a healthy thing to have. No, but I do think

967
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: that you are not, you know, creating a figment of

968
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: your imagination.

969
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: That's clearly he's already cheated on you. We already know

970
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: that he cheated on you. That's a thing.

971
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: Any Yeah, I don't know. I just don't think this

972
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: guy was the guy for you. Yeah, and that's.

973
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,520
