00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,240

Speaker 1: It's kind of an abrasive thing.

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it's a little victim. Oh, oh yeah,

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: you should have known that he was cheating? How would

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Well, y'all, there's only one way to find out. And

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: this comes from real Basil eight four eight seven. They

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: say background, I thirty five female, was friends with Julie

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: thirty five female and Alex thirty four male. We have

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: been friends since college, but our tiny group expanded from

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: three to seven. This story is about my friend Julia

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: and my friend Alex. Two years ago, we all came

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: to know that my friend Alex was having an affair

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: with a married man. Her excuse was that he was

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: unhappy and that is why he was seeking outside validation.

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 5: Just want to give excuse. I'll bring that up to

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 5: make sure.

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: You have I had on the enneagram.

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: Now what is that?

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: Oh?

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 2: That'd? So I advised my friend Anna to stop it.

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: And that this is not healthy because he will not

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: leave his wife. My friend Alex, she didn't listen, rather

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: accused me of being a bad friend to her. All

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: of my friends are against it, but to them it

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: was quote unquote not my monkey, not my circus.

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 5: So fascinating.

40
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: So I contacted the wife and told her everything. I

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: knew who the wife was because the married man once

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: introduced us. And now everyone in my friend group has

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: turned against me, especially my friend Julia, because she thinks

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: that I have betrayed my friends. We have to right

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: here and break this down a little bit. Can we

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: get some unsolicited advice on what's going on here?

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 5: That's a ballsy move to take that on yourself. Yeah,

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 5: like take that power.

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: It's one of those things that again I land on

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: what like you treat others how you would like to

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: be treated? Like if I was being cheated on and

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: just thinking I'm like in love and in a great marriage.

53
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: Would I want to know? Would I care how I

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: found out? No, I just want to know. Right, But

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: then if you look on her end, like she doesn't

56
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: even know the other person, like it is a lot

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: to like put yourself in, so like, are you just

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: doing that because you love the drama and you want

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: to be involved or are you genuinely trying to just

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: do the right thing.

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 5: Honestly, it's not.

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 7: It doesn't feel like her place at It feels very

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 7: much like I'm I'm now making this about me and

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 7: I'm becoming a star player in this whole thing, and

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 7: I'm going to save the whole situation and make it

66
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 7: all about her.

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: And it has nothing to do with her.

68
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: It should come from the people within the relationship.

69
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 5: It's not a third wheel. This is an open relationship.

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: What about the home wrecker saying something or.

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Going to the friend Alex and being like, if you

72
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: don't tell, then I will.

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 7: I like forcing that again, I feel it's not her place.

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 7: And anyway, we can be mad at the our friend

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 7: and we can keep like telling them like if you

76
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 7: don't do something, I'm going to do something, or we

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 7: can like completely like cut them off and be like

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 7: I don't support what you're doing. I'm our friendship is

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 7: over because of it until you fix this. But that's

80
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 7: not her place.

81
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 2: It's not her place like that, like, hey, I don't

82
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: think we can can in.

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 7: Your Yeah, my moral values are saying I don't agree

84
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 7: with this, so I can't be your friend.

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the married man is the first person

86
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: that I like. And in terms of like the people

87
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: that should say the truth, it's like, goes the married man,

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: then maybe like Julia, and then all the way at

89
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: the bottom it's opiate.

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Yea, all the way to the bottom, Riley might look

91
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: a good now, thanks baby?

92
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: All right, So back to the story.

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: My friend Julia stopped talking to me because if I

94
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: can betray a close friend of mine, then I can

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: betray her as well. Valid My other friend Alex was

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: heartbroken because the married man decided that he want to

97
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: work on his marriage.

98
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: He did.

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: My friend Julia was with my other friend Alex, and

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: I was shunned from our friend group. What happened now,

101
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, I got a call from my

102
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: friend Julia. She was crying and telling me that Alex

103
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: betrayed her. Turns out, Alex had been having an affair

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: with Julia's husband. Wait, character, there was there was an

105
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: initial cheating scandal that was totally outside of everyone, right,

106
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: that was cheating scandal number one.

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: But who is involved? Because yeah, Alex was the person cheating.

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: Alex was the cheater, the original.

109
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Cheater with the married man with the married man, and Julia,

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: for reasons unknown, was just defending Alex, you know, or

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: like for reasons of like, oh, she's your friend.

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: You know, I think I missed that part.

113
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 4: So she was writing she actually was having an affair

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: with the married man, and then I go and tell

115
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: the married man's wife that's what the scenario was.

116
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: It was yeah, yeah, so okay, okay, he was the

117
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: one that So the first cheating scandal was kind of

118
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: outside of the friend group, right, it was a totally

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: different couple.

120
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: So she betrayed her friend by like telling the married

121
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: man's wife, like what had happened?

122
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm betrayal.

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: Yes, this betrayal is Julia the person who's riding for

124
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: her cheating friend, her cheating friend who she rode for

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: cheated and trying to steal her husband.

126
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: Now, so.

127
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: For her, I'm trying to get with your husband.

128
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: Now Alex is switching around, and yeah.

129
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 7: Alex was Alex was the married husband.

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, and now switch and now she's.

131
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 7: Cheating Steel, the husband of the very woman, Julia, her husband, Yes,

132
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 7: Julia's husband.

133
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 5: She just getting around, isn't she?

134
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: Alex is she's slaying at that And Julia said that

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: she was heartbroken because she was so supportive of her.

136
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: And this is how Alex repays her. Even our friend

137
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: group is still divided. I was angry at that moment.

138
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, she ignored me for two years, bad mouth

139
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: to me, said that I was wrong. I literally warned

140
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: her that Alex was toxic. So I told her what

141
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: could she expect coming from Alex?

142
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: Right? I mean so two years got again? Yeah, fish

143
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: one and now.

144
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: Not like that's better. But in my head, this all

145
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: happened really fast.

146
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: So just to just so I understand, So Alex cheated

147
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: with the married man and then Alex stole like then

148
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: cheated with Julia. Julia's husband.

149
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: Op has been shunned because she told Alex's husband's mistress

150
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: what was going on and saying, Julia, what did you expect?

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: Yes, she is someone what well she steals husbands.

152
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: Husband Steelers, the husband Steeler, that's your new name, Alex

153
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: here we have sounds like a w w E.

154
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: So I mean, did she really think that she will

155
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: show loyalty towards you when she already did something moral before?

156
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Now I knew the moment she made excuses for having

157
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: the affair with a married man, her morals were compromised.

158
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: I am not religious, but I do have a minimum

159
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: amount of respect towards other people and their feelings, and

160
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: suffice to say, I am not surprised that she went

161
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: after her husband. I now do think that I went

162
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: too far originally and basically outing the original.

163
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: Which was a little bit not not her place, not

164
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: her monkey. I love that. I love that.

165
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: This is because some of my other friends said that

166
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: I was too harsh on her, even if I said,

167
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: what was the truth, I should have been more sensitive

168
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: because she is going through a divorce. I sympathize with Julia.

169
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh oh, so now she's talking about how she went

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: back to Julian and was like, what did you expect? Yeah,

171
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: when she's Julia's now going through all of us. This

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: is now we're going to the original title.

173
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: The asshole. Yes, what did what did you expect? She

174
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: was a cheater? Cheater one, she's going to cheat again exactly.

175
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: I do sympathize with my friend Julia, but I also

176
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: feel like as friends sometimes we need to tell them

177
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: the harsh truth. I know I said all of this

178
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: when I was angry, but a part of me says

179
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: that she just needed to hear that was I wrong.

180
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: We have some relevant questions or comments that we're going

181
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: to get into, but now that we have more context.

182
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I will say yes, I do think so,

183
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: just because like if Ash does something stupid after I

184
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: told her not to do it and she's like broken

185
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 4: hearted about it, like that's.

186
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: Validating me to go in and be like, well I

187
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: told you.

188
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: Like you shouldn't have done that, orreas if I'm looking

189
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: at her as a friend, I'm going to sympathize with her,

190
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: and then if we want to then talk about it,

191
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 4: I could be like, well, like, you kind of have

192
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 4: like some signs in there, but that doesn't need to

193
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: be the first thing that comes out of your mouth.

194
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: You can just like support your friends totally. I feel

195
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: like that's.

196
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: A great point, self serving.

197
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Even though it's valid what she said is true, but

198
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: you don't always have to say what's true, or else

199
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: you will have no friends.

200
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

201
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 7: I think that kind of like coincides with how she

202
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 7: overreacted the first time in going and telling the mistress.

203
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 5: I feel like she.

204
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: She's the truth.

205
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 7: She really loves justice, and she really loves proving.

206
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: She loves evidence, she loves like proving her.

207
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: She's on air.

208
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 7: I think she she's very right and wrong, and I

209
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 7: think she I understand the desire to say I told

210
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 7: you so, especially after being shunned for that long, but

211
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 7: I again, unnecessary to go and tell the mistress. Unnecessary

212
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 7: to bring that up when your friend just got hurt

213
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 7: like that.

214
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and that actually leads right into this relevant comment

215
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: that comes from Bend b Was there really any benefit

216
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: to telling her I told you so?

217
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: It does seem a little petty. Yeah, very better, Yeah,

218
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: Op says I agree.

219
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: It was petty because at that moment, I was angry

220
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: she ostracized me for telling the wife the truth and

221
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: breaking Alex's relationship because friends should stick together, and she

222
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: took part in justifying the affair.

223
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: I was just enraged by her hypocrisy. So to be fair, though,

224
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: like it wasn't a good move to tell the wife.

225
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, yeah, I understand the anger.

226
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 7: I understand that watching that hypocrisy and being like enraged

227
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 7: by that, but like that's still not your relationship.

228
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: To God, it's not your place.

229
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: I think op was few like wanting to get vengeance

230
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: after because it seems like Julia was kind of the

231
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: one that really orchestrated kicking out of the frame years ago.

232
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: So she's now like now I get my chance to

233
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: like twist that.

234
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: See what you did wrong is you can stand up

235
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 4: and like yell to everyone who a person is, but

236
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: it's so much louder if you sit back and let

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: that person reveal who they are.

238
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: So like she she should have just.

239
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: Sat in that victory and been like, there are true

240
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: colors and I'm gonna wait till you guys come and

241
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: apologize to me for like her being who she is.

242
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: Like then she didn't have to justify anything. She should

243
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: have just sat back and like let justice suet's own

244
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: than you know.

245
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: That beautifully said Yeah truly, Wow, God incredible, we have

246
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: another juicy update.

247
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 2: It's like a third person in the frame.

248
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: Julia and Alex are dating.

249
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: Update.

250
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: I have read many of your comments. First of all,

251
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: I want to make one thing clear about this that

252
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: I do not regret telling the wife about the affair. Really,

253
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: I do not think I did the wrong thing. My

254
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: friend was doing something bad and sociopathic. In my opinion,

255
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: she happily contributed to destroying a family knowing that man

256
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: she was dating was a married man. I know the

257
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: blame should be on him, but she also needs to

258
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: take accountability of her actions. If I was getting cheated on,

259
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: I would want to know, so I guess the wife

260
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: also wanted to know. I know a lot of you

261
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: shamed me, but just know that I do not care.

262
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: If you're going to make a bolt move, you might

263
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: as well as well business.

264
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: I think it's like morally the right thing to do,

265
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: but it lacks like social tactics relation.

266
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: I'm not shocked her friends were like that.

267
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: YO, buy some magazines, do a little ransom note and

268
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: then you're not involved.

269
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: Could be a service. Yeah, yeah, we.

270
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 5: Will send anonymous letters.

271
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: We will send an anonymous letter in the form of

272
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: a ransom note. If you know someone is cheating, we

273
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: can be the people. Wow, deliver on your hands.

274
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, scrap booking skills.

275
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: There actually is very quick. Aside, there's this guy. I

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: think he's like John the breakup person or something. And

277
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: literally this guy people just hire him to break to

278
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: break terrible and he records all of it and and.

279
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 5: Whoa, that's like Ryan's roses. But like yeah, yeah, like.

280
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: Your husband actually has three other families and he's choosing one.

281
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: It's how he's choosing one. And I'm and he hired

282
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: me to tell you.

283
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: That you're not it.

284
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 5: You are not the winner, you are.

285
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: Not the mother. Respond to that. Are they pissed at him? Ever? Oh,

286
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I'm sure.

287
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure he gives a lot of therapy. Like they

288
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: probably cry to him, like why is this happening to me?

289
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: He's just like I am a messenger. Wow op, he

290
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: says onto the actual update. So, Juice, I did speak

291
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: to my friend Julia and said that I was sorry.

292
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have punched her while she was down. When

293
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: she is already going through some stuff I did not

294
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: want to add to it. I know a lot of

295
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: you have told me to just cut her off, but

296
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: I realized that I was too harsh on her, even

297
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: if what she did two years ago was wrong. But

298
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: she came to me because she needed a friend I

299
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: could sympathize with her in her tough times. She just

300
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: went on and on about how she felt betrayed by

301
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: Alex the cheater, when she always defended her, even when

302
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: her own parents disowned her over it parents disowned her,

303
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: Julia's parents, So Julia kept defending, defending, defending.

304
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: Julia's parents disowned her, Julie supporting Alex. Apparently I don't

305
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: understand that way. No, it's got to be it's got

306
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,119
Speaker 2: to be Alex's parents, right, even when her own.

307
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: Parents her is Alex.

308
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: I think her is she?

309
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: I think she Alex, and she always defended her, even

310
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: when her own parents So even when her Alex.

311
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that makes which version of.

312
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 4: I'm just imagining your mom and dad calling me and

313
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: being like, we did they.

314
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: Have a divorce which we may be able to use her.

315
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: So, just out of curiosity, I asked Julia if she

316
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: plans to divorce her husband or to work things out

317
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: quick bets go around the table Ashley divorce, divorce.

318
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

319
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: I feel like it's going to be juicier if she's

320
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: trying to work it out.

321
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So I think she should divorce. Oh should Yeah,

322
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: she should divorce for sure? Is she going to I'm

323
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: gonna say no because she was so supportive Alex, and

324
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: I think that is like indicative of maybe her character. Yeah,

325
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: her carrec and like maybe she wants to give second

326
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: chances cheaters.

327
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to uh improve the segment. I'm

328
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: going to need y'all to divorce chance and then I

329
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: will reveal the answer.

330
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: Are you ready? Start us off?

331
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: Sam, She's getting divorced.

332
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: There you go. I like when people make good decisions.

333
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: So now Julia's husband is begging her or another chance.

334
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: They always do, Babe, promise he'll be better.

335
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: And he even said that he will cut off all

336
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: contacts with the cheating friend Alex, with the offer of

337
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: opening up their marriage on her end.

338
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: So it's like I had my pass, why don't you

339
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: have yours?

340
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: And then we'll call it even.

341
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: Why don't you get a hall pass for tat and

342
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: then we're fair?

343
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: Seems fair.

344
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: It seems like it would not work at all, But

345
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: Julia is headstrong on her divorce. She did ask for

346
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: my forgiveness and I did forgive.

347
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: Her, like.

348
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 5: Choked on my own spit.

349
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: We're gentleman.

350
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's the right move. Yeah, for sure,

351
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: And it's great that they're so now o P and

352
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: Julia are reconciling.

353
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 2: I fel like, now that everything's on the table, uh,

354
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: that the healing process can start.

355
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 7: There's a moment where I realized Julia's husband probably sat

356
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 7: at home for a long time listening to Julie to

357
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 7: talk about Alex and and how.

358
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: How heartbroken she is for Alex and what a mess

359
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 5: she is going through. And then he's like, who else you.

360
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: Know what Alex did with her a fair partner. She

361
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: did this and that.

362
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: To Rash so she aso married men.

363
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: He says, But I still do not want anything to

364
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: do with her, even though they've both forgived each other.

365
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: I do feel sorry for her and hope that she

366
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: finds peace, but our friendship will never be restored to

367
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: its old glory. Wait, Julia and no longer friends, but

368
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: they have forgiven each other.

369
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: I mean, if you have years of being exiled, that's a.

370
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: Lot when you were like trying to do the right thing. Yeah,

371
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: she said that she understands and this is probably her

372
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: karma and God punishing her.

373
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 8: I feel like I got to visy with other things

374
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 8: my part.

375
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: So that's the end.

376
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: I hope she takes him to the cleaners and from

377
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: the grapevines. I heard that the cheater Alex has been

378
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: shunned from my former friend group.

379
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 2: Because now they're afraid that she might go after her.

380
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 2: She gets all seven to down, five.

381
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 7: To go for op to be able to like look

382
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 7: back and be like, yeah, I understand me.

383
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: To say anything.

384
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 4: And that's why she could have had like the most

385
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 4: beautiful justice, just.

386
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 5: Like quarters glass of wine and been like watch the

387
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 5: fire explode.

388
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: You don't say, Michael Jackson.

389
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: And as for the cheater Alex, I do believe that

390
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: she is a sociopath who enjoys breaking of famis.

391
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: She has to be.

392
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 5: She has to be.

393
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: I don't think any amount of exposing her is going

394
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: to work on her because she has no shame. She

395
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: deliberately goes after married and committed men, and I am

396
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: glad that I cut ties with her way before she

397
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: could go and get to me.

398
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: That's it. Have a great life, stay away from all

399
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: of the houses this world.

400
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: And we do have a few relevant comments to close

401
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: this out, But have you.

402
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: Met anyone like that that only goes after like married

403
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: men or people in relationships.

404
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 3: Not like a like.

405
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: I've met people who are in those those situations, and

406
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 4: I feel like it always every time, every time a

407
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: human fails in an area that you're like, that's common sense,

408
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: there's something in their childhood or past that like has

409
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 4: created some type of damage. It doesn't, It does not

410
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: justify it. But usually the people that I've seen in

411
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 4: those scenarios, the more I learn about them, the more

412
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, I get, I get why this is an

413
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: area where you would like get trapped in, If that

414
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 4: makes sense.

415
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 5: I've never met anyone like that.

416
00:20:48,240 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thank god every day that I've never.

417
00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: So onto some relevant comments nineteen fifty six says if

418
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: I was getting cheated on, I would want to know,

419
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: so I guess the wife wanted to know. So they're

420
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: responding to that quote. This is a classic Reddit response.

421
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: Everyone should think the way I do, and if I

422
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: would want to know that, everyone else would want to know.

423
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: I am simply the messenger, not one ounce of accountability

424
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: for your own actions as usual, so coming for op

425
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Ope responds, what accountability are you dumb? Why should I

426
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: take accountability when I did nothing wrong? I told the truth.

427
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: If you are a doormat enough that you would not

428
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: want to know the truth about your husband's affair, that's

429
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: on you.

430
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: You want doormat, doormat the door.

431
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: You want to accept your spouse cheating on you, well,

432
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: that's on you. Most of us sane people would like

433
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: to be informed.

434
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: She's really heat on, you know.

435
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: OPI is one of those people that you like have

436
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: to pull aside and be like a little bit harder

437
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 4: on how we like we can socially say that in

438
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: like a kind way, like.

439
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh, he's got that dogs.

440
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: She really is.

441
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 5: She believes in justice.

442
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 3: But that's it.

443
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 4: Like both of those things are true, Like I would

444
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: want to know. I wouldn't care, like I would hate

445
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: if someone could have told me and I went months

446
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: without knowing and like giving this person my all.

447
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: I would want to know. Both of those things are true.

448
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 5: It just could have been handled.

449
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 4: Like if Ash was in that situation as her friends,

450
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 4: I'm going to strongly encourage her to do so. But

451
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if I would go like three steps

452
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: away from But it's like the situation.

453
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 7: You present an option for them and ultimated of being like, hey, like,

454
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 7: as your friend, what you're doing is wrong and I

455
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 7: will be doing this at the end of the week

456
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 7: if you don't do it yourself, you know, like giving

457
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 7: them an opportunity to take control.

458
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: Which also I think like being able to say something

459
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: that because it's it's for most people, it's hard to

460
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: go to the a friend, someone you love and be

461
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: like you are wrong, like I need to hold you accountable.

462
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: Like that's hard to seem hard for OPI, though, it

463
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: seems like it comes to dog.

464
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: So we got one more from Invite Additional eight four

465
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: sixty three. Julie deserves it end of story. She helped

466
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: an affair for her friend and got exactly what she

467
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: deserved for her troubles. She is the poster child for

468
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: why you don't help people do a moral and unethical things.

469
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: The only smart thing that Julia is doing is getting

470
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: a divorce and admitting to what she did wrong. She

471
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: needs to figure out why she helped Alex in the

472
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: first place. Opie responds basically the female version of Bros

473
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Before hose like she wanted to put her friend first.

474
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: That's where that commenter should.

475
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 4: That's those are our inside voice thoughts that we keep

476
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: to ourselves. We that's yeah, we should probably not share

477
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 4: that out loud because that.

478
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: Is a little bit harsh. Sure harsh, Yeah, I would,

479
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: just I would. I would. I would check your meter.

480
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: From what we say, that sounds like that commentary and

481
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: Nike OPI would probably be good friends.

482
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, they are the Justice League.

483
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: So geez, we've finished the story. I want to know

484
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: we're zooming now. We're going big picture here of all

485
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: of the decisions that OP has made throughout this entire saga.

486
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Are we on OPS the A whole or is OP

487
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: not the A whole?

488
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 7: All considered, I'm gonna go OPS not the A whole.

489
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 7: I think she I think OP could have handled things differently,

490
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 7: but I think she was right the whole time. Sorry

491
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 7: you said you don't like that she keep saying she

492
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 7: I was trying to fix that. I don't think OPS

493
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 7: the A whole. I think OP was simply telling the truth,

494
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 7: and I think OP was doing what was right. I

495
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 7: think it could have been handled differently, but I don't

496
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 7: think OPS and A whole that jaren.

497
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: I think that.

498
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 4: I think that I can see why her first decision

499
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 4: to tell was like not the best move as a friend.

500
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: But I also think like she did what she thought

501
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 4: was right, but you also have to deal with the

502
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 4: consequences that come with that, like if your friend group's

503
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 4: gonna like exile you for that, Like that's the risk

504
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 4: you took of making like a big move. I do

505
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: think she's insensitive, Like I I don't think she could

506
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 4: have she should have said that, but I feel like

507
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: in this in this point, like she's been hurt and

508
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 4: she's like, I don't really care, because even like the

509
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: Julia Cummings saying I'm sorry, like for what I did,

510
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 4: and she's like, well, I don't care, Like that's her.

511
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: What's been done has been done. So I feel like

512
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: there are some a whole tendencies I have been seeing,

513
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 4: but I don't know. I think she really thought she

514
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: was doing the right thing and everything, but I think

515
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 4: that it was maybe done in ways that could have

516
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 4: been better, like gentle, Like.

517
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 7: She just needed to put like a pretty little bow

518
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 7: to make it a little easier to digest instead of

519
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 7: just slapping across.

520
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: There was some overstapping, there was some harsh words, So

521
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: I think I think it could have the delivery could

522
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 4: have been done in a completely different way.

523
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: Totally. I might go a little contrarying because Okay, most

524
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: a holes don't think they're being the A hole. They

525
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: think they're like that probably serving justice. Yeah, I don't

526
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: think that OP is doing something that is against their

527
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: like morals, and I think they're acting very much within morals.

528
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: But I think what makes you an a hole is

529
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: how you deliver truth, yeah, and advice. And because of

530
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: how OP has delivered truth in the story and in

531
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: the commons, I would say I'm getting a lot of ahole.

532
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. If there was something that OP felt like, I

533
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: need to deliver justice but was not.

534
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: Just, was not just, and the justice delivered like kind

535
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: of like.

536
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: What if there was something where in Op's perspective is

537
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: like like this. In this case, at least OP was

538
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: was pushing for like the truth and a good pushing

539
00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: for good.

540
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: What listen, Oh he's got some powers. Okay, what if

541
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: they use it for evil? Well, then they're obviously like

542
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: very much the a hole and they're a bad person

543
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: and an a whole. But I think you could be

544
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: a I actually think you could be a good person

545
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: and an a hole. No, I agree, you're.

546
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 5: Really selling me on this.

547
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 3: That's it.

548
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I feel like that's like where my dilemma

549
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 4: was is like technically she didn't do the wrong thing

550
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 4: because it's.

551
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 5: Like someone had to tell someone to find out, but.

552
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: Like in all of the delivery, but that's true, Like

553
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 4: if you can't deliver things in a way that's like

554
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: not going to hurt the people you care about, then like,

555
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 4: where's the someone.

556
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: Who tells the truth all the time to everyone is

557
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: an a hole? Actually yeah all the time. It's people

558
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: being brutally behind honesty as a way to just like

559
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: someone's feelings.

560
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, if this is your close friend circle, yeah yeah,

561
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 7: that is a great perspective.

562
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: But I would love to know what everyone else in

Speaker 2: Deep Within the archives time for okop relam. My wife

575
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: is forcing me not to adopt my sister after my

576
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: dad passed, so I'm divorcing her.

577
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, how dare you try and adopt your sister?

578
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: That is like disgusting, disgusting. I can't believe you would

579
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: care for your family. Yeah, like, why don't you just

580
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: not care for your family and let them suffer?

581
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, I say, I think we have a

582
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: policy on this show. Oh yeah, always make your family suffer. Bingo, yeah, bingo, mango,

583
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: you get a manga. That's right. I twenty eight male,

584
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: have been married to my wife, twenty eight female for

585
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: two years. We do not have kids, and we did

586
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: not plan to. I have a little sister, eleven female.

587
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: Due to the age gap, I am more like another

588
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: father than a brother. Yeah, that's that's a big age

589
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: pretty big age gap. My father passed away from pancreatic cancer. Damn.

590
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 2: There are two options for my sister. Either I take

591
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: her in or my uncle dad's brother takes her in.

592
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: So we asked who she wanted, and she chose me.

593
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of cute and sad at the same time. Yeah,

594
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: it's heartbreaking.

595
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: It's at least nice that like she has someone to

596
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: go to that yeah, and relationship she trusts.

597
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: The brother wants to be there for her. Here is

598
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: the problem. My wife and I decided we do not

599
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: want kids, so she does not want to adopt my sister,

600
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: especially since my uncle can I mean, kes b that's

601
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: that's that's a bit drastic, yikes, I mean, especially considering

602
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: the circumstances like have a heart.

603
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: Literally it's like, no, I want to be able to,

604
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, hop in a plane and go to Cancun

605
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: with the girls without having to get a babysitter.

606
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: It's not like like this is this is so much different.

607
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: This is so much It's also like it's only like

608
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: you can you can probably like maybly the mainly staying

609
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: with the brother, but like she could probably stay with

610
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: the uncle, like every once in a while they wanted

611
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: to go do something. So it's not like there's not

612
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: other support structures where they would be totally tied down.

613
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: But consider this, Sam, she not only will she not

614
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: be able to go get the cheap margaritas and Cancun,

615
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: she will lose money by paying for this breathing thing.

616
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: That is true is breathing thing sacks.

617
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: This shit sack is sucking away her cancuon Margarita mine that.

626
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: how terrible she of a person. She is not accepting

627
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: this eleven year old's.

628
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: Just like this, this eleven year old just breathing and

629
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: reading my money away audacity.

630
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: But my sister has no parents now, and I want

631
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: to make sure she's able to recover and be healthy.

632
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: And since she wants to be with me, I will

633
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: not force her to be with our uncle. I mean,

634
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: which makes total sense, makes a lot of sense. This

635
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: is causing a lot of tension with my wife. Things

636
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: escalated and finally told her I am doing this whether

637
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: she agrees to or not. She can either accept it

638
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: or we get divorced. Oh, my man is drawing a

639
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: line of that. That's an ultimatum, dude, But honestly, like

640
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: I totally understand the ultimatum like that, like like that,

641
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: like what do you do in this situation? Dude? Also

642
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: his wife again red flags in these relationships, Like his

643
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: wife seems totally like like not able to understand the

644
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: gravity of this situation.

645
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: Not at all, just like to have a heart. I

646
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: don't know, God, impossible. We have not talked since then.

647
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: What can I do in this situation? I have like

648
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: a fucking eyelash.

649
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: I okay, my sister is staying with my uncle until

650
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: I prepare things needed for her to live with me. Yes,

651
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: my uncle talked with her and she said she still

652
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: wants to live with me. I live closer to my

653
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: dad than my uncle, so it's easier for her with me.

654
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: I will adopt my sister. I know I'm going to

655
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: do it, and I feel like my marriage is doomed.

656
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: I just posted here because maybe someone can give me

657
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: idea if there's another way. And is there? Well, there

658
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: is an update, oh dear. And you know why we

659
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: love updates because everything gets resolved. Oh yeah, the updates.

660
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: Updates always mean everything is peachy keen, and we're gonna.

661
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: Go loo key. Like a lot of times updates are

662
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: that Like a lot of times updates get resolved. That

663
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: is true. And then other times I talk to my

664
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: wife again, she still refused and she does not want kids,

665
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: so we are basically deciding to go our separate ways.

666
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: She said, you were really choosing your sister over me.

667
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: That's shit, sack sack. I told her, I do not

668
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: want to go into this discussion again, but if that

669
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: is what you want to But if that is what

670
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: you want to hear, But if that is what you

671
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: want to hear, then fine, Yes, my sister takes priority

672
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: right now. I am choosing her over you. This was

673
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: our last conversation. I've been living with my sister for

674
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: one week now. Being a single fatherish brother is definitely challenging,

675
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: but I'm actually kind of enjoying it. Wow. Man, that

676
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: just went down in the worst possible way. I mean,

677
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: I but it's like this is like I feel like

678
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: this wife just is not understanding at all. Like I like,

679
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: if you're going through I mean, obviously it changes her

680
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: life too. Yeah, and I do understand that, but like

681
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: if she's not willing to to to do this and

682
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: like take care of this person that you really care for,

683
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: then she's probably not the one then totally.

684
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: And also it's like like you were saying, it's like okay,

685
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: we'll bring her in, but it's like all right, look,

686
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: we can bring her in, but like I don't want to,

687
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, I want you to be the main one responsible,

688
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: you know, like driving her to her things and all that.

689
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: Like if if you can like really like take responsibility

690
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: and still give me some leniency in my life, Like

691
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: clearly there's there's some things in her life that she

692
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: wants to have freedom from without the children. Yeah, maybe

693
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe OP is like op he is the

694
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: main one responsible for her, and he's probably like like

695
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: maybe the stipulation and be like hey, like I don't

696
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: want to take care of kids. I'm not good at

697
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: it or whatever, right, and so it's like okay, like

698
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: no sweat, I will take care of my sister and

699
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: then we'll be okay and like me like me and

700
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: my uncle basically, but damn bro, this Yeah, this relationship.

701
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: Went done so bad. And you know, sometimes you just

702
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: can't let the ship sex in your life. I'm sorry. Yeah,

703
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: But also like this is this is a this is

704
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: a test of relationship and uh and they failed. But hey,

705
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. That's a good thing. You can

706
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: move on to better and brighter pastures. Get someone better.

707
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 2: Op
