Nevertheless, coming back from work, 336 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: I always found one car parked in front of my gate, 337 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: as this was closer to the pharmacy. The gate during 338 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 3: the day was always open as the pharmacy had their 339 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 3: deposit in there, and to avoid opening and closing it 340 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: every time, they used to block the photo cell with 341 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: a piece of wood. One day, I arrived at the 342 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: gate and it was luckily free, but the guy around 343 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: seventy five mail in front of me turned into the 344 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: gate to park. I started honking at him to tell 345 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: him to move, and he left the car there and said, 346 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: this space belongs to the pharmacy. I'm going to the pharmacy, 347 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: and I found the parking place before you, so I'm 348 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 3: leaving it here. If you don't want people to park inside, 349 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: you need to close the gate. Needless to say explain 350 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: why he was wrong, but he just left. I noticed 351 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: one thing, the car was not obstructing the photo cell, So. 352 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: This is what I did. I accidentally touched the wood 353 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: to let the gate close with the car inside. Parked 354 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: my car. 355 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: In one of the parking places around my flat, went 356 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: home on foot to take a shower, and after ten 357 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: minutes I heard the intercom going absolutely crazy. I got 358 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: dressed and in five minutes I went downstairs. The guy 359 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: was furious. I call the police and jergeraf problems. Now 360 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 3: you stole my car. 361 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I stole your car. Sure your car actually 362 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: is still there. It hasn't moved, It's just there's a 363 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: gate around it. Now gate gate was already there. 364 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: The guy went ballistic, complaining that everyone coming out of 365 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 3: the pharmacy, and when he saw me, he started insulting 366 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: me like there was no tomorrow. I told him to 367 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: calm down because he was wrong and that I had 368 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: been the shower, and the guy said, no, I don't 369 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 3: go now, you stay. Hear it, await for the police. 370 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: The police came and said, hey, stole my car. Look, 371 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: I have the keys. And the guy closed the gate 372 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: to steal it. And here's where the real shows started. 373 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 3: The police asked me what happened. I told him that yeah, 374 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: I had to complain about him parking in my private property. 375 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: Then I went to park somewhere nearby and walked home 376 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 3: the same way. Nice, you've got that little woodblock information 377 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: out of the story. 378 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: Hmmm, quite clever. 379 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: The guy kept shouting at me, saying, oh, I was 380 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: lying about the wood. I said, I didn't know. It 381 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: must have fallen by itself. But even if I had 382 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: removed it, it was within my right stop my gate closed, 383 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: as the guy himself had told me fifteen minutes ago. 384 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: He kept shouting that I was lying. 385 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 3: The police understood what had happened, told him to shut 386 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 3: up and did not speak anymore. This is private property, stair. 387 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: The guy was purple, couldn't stand still, absolutely furious. I'm 388 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: towing his car. Yeah, on the tow truck. I'm saying, hey, 389 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: guys parked in my private property. Yeah, that's exactly the truck. 390 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 3: I would have done the same thing if it would 391 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 3: have kept happening. 392 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: I would have been like, listen, I mean that there 393 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: has to be like a sign, is there not, like 394 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: a sign that says yeah, I don't. 395 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 3: Know, but we've got a little bit left. The police 396 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: asked me to open the gate. I told them I 397 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: needed to pick up the remote from my car, and 398 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: I asked them to explain to the guy what he 399 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: was doing wrong in my absence, because I'm a little 400 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 3: bit scared of him. I took my time getting to 401 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 3: the car to allow the police to school the guy, 402 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 3: and once I came back, the guy was looking down 403 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: like he had been beaten with a stick. I opened 404 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 3: the gate. The police forced the guy to apologize to 405 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 3: me and told him to leave. No fines and no charges, 406 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 3: And the police told them, you could be charged with 407 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 3: filing a false report, but we won't do that as 408 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: long as you don't ever park here anymore. 409 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: They don't want to do the paperwork. 410 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: The other like we could do that. Please don't make 411 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: us do that. 412 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna let you off with the warning. Please. 413 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 3: I never saw this guy gain and for a while, 414 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: no one parked in front of the gate. 415 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: Well there you go. Only for a while, though. Yeah, 416 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: where's the update. 417 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, someone's parked in front of my git again, let 418 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 3: me out. 419 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: But that's the end of that story. I returned to 420 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: cat I found to the real owners. The cat nappers 421 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: did not take it. Well, that's my cat. This whole 422 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: situation is stupid, and it all stems from how I 423 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: somehow always find animals who ask for help in a 424 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: variety of ways. 425 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 3: Ah cute. 426 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: I'm so jealous of you that I find lost pets 427 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: very often and end up getting them home. I can 428 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: say maybe only twice I wasn't able to find the 429 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: lost pets home. I usually find friendly strays too, and 430 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: trap them to go to my local shelter. By the way, 431 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: this comes from deleted and if you want to submit 432 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: your own stories, go to the r slash Okay storytime Supreddit. 433 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: I'm Savannah. 434 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: I'm Sylvia, and we are here to give some goofy advice, 435 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 3: but we don't have all the answers. We don't only 436 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: tell you what we would do, but you shoul let 437 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 3: us know what you would do down the comments. As 438 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 3: Opie says, yesterday, I was out for a walk and 439 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 3: I turned a corner onto another street. A little cat 440 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: ran straight up to me from a family sitting on 441 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 3: their front porch on the opposite sidewalk. He basically leaped 442 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 3: up into my arms, and the family asked if I 443 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 3: knew him, because he'd be lined for me as soon 444 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: as I was in the line of sight and he 445 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 3: was trying to get into their house. I told him no, 446 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 3: but that I would try and find out. That is, 447 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 3: honestly my dream lined into a house. 448 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: I am seething with jealousy right now, she's burning up. 449 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm seething. 450 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: I'm green with envy. So I carried the little guy home. 451 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: He seemed familiar with indoors and behaved well, didn't mess 452 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 3: with things, seems unsurprised by stairs, et cetera. I felt 453 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 3: pretty sure he belonged to somebody, even though he wasn't neutered. 454 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 3: My plan was to hold him overnight, maybe two nights 455 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 3: max to see if his owner turned. 456 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: Up and try to hand him off in person. If 457 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: nobody turned up, I would bring him to the local 458 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: shelter and give them my thoughts that this was someone's 459 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: cat before anyone says it. I know I should have 460 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: had him checked for a micro chip, but it was 461 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: Sunday yesterday and I would have needed to wait until 462 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: after work today. Anyway, I posted a pic of him 463 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: in a local group. It wasn't approved until ten pm 464 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: because an admin had to okay the photo posts first 465 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: before it went live on the group page. I woke 466 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: up to three people who reached out to me staking ownership, 467 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: Daisy and her mother, June and Lorraine. Daisy and June 468 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: stated their cat was neutered, but this was definitely him. 469 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: Daisy stated she was looking for him all night. Daisy 470 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: stated she was looking for him all night. He was 471 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: her cat since she found him while feeding local cats 472 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: since January first. I told Daisy that this cat is 473 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: not neutered, and although the photos looked similar similar Tuxedo Blaze, 474 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: but not enough full body photos to confirm, I did 475 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: not think it was him because well oscal bowls. 476 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: I think you just send a picture of the cats. 477 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: Oh you're like, uh, not your cat? 478 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: Can you get? You get a cat? 479 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 3: Pick? 480 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: What do you do? I'd be like, I don't even 481 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: want it from a guy. Why am I getting from 482 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: a cat? She proceeded to tell me all of her 483 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: cats still have balls despite being neutered. 484 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 3: Baby girl, that ain't how it works, Baby girl, that 485 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: ain't never works. 486 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: They're not newtered. Then you don't have cats? Then I 487 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: told her, yes, scrotum skin stays, but the balls do not. 488 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 1: Daisy and June continue to message me, telling me he 489 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: is fixed and he is theirs that Daisy lets him 490 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: outside to play all the time, and they will call 491 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: the police on me, which they probably said to try 492 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: and scare me, because what would the police even do. 493 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: Lorraine expressed that her cat had been missing since January 494 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: and was mistakenly let out by her kid's friend who 495 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: was visiting and was too scared to say anything until 496 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: it was too late. She also stated he was not fixed. 497 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: She provided photos from kittenhood in summer and up until 498 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: he escaped in January, and included front door cam footage 499 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: from when she bought a camera to try and catch him. 500 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: To provide dates for when he had gone missing. That's 501 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: the true owner right there. 502 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 3: That's the real owner. 503 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: That's that cat's mama right there. That's that let her 504 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: have him. They each had a different name for this cat. 505 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: I let him out of the bathroom since I didn't 506 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 3: want him wondering on supervised while I slept. I have 507 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 3: plants that aren't cat safe, and decided to try the name. 508 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: I called out Daisy in June's name for him. His 509 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: ear twitched, but not much of a reaction beyond that. 510 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 3: I tried Lorraine's name, and he chirped, then rammed into 511 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 3: me and started purring like crazy. It was like he 512 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 3: was saying, yes, that's me. That's honestly so sweet, and 513 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: I love this story that I mean, I don't like 514 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: love that this is happening, but I love this cat. 515 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: I want to touch this cat. I ended up giving 516 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: the cat to Lorraine and updated the local post I 517 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: made to say I reunited the cat with the owner. 518 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: When I invited Lorrain inside and spoke to her, she 519 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: mentioned seeing the post and feeling upset that possibly Daisy 520 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: in June had her cat this whole time, even though 521 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: she posted about having lost her cat at the time, 522 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: to no response. She also said she felt grateful because 523 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: we had some snowstorms around that time, so he survived. 524 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: A while she was talking, the cat dashed down the 525 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: stairs with his tail fluffed out at the sound of 526 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: her voice and went right for her. Ah, this is 527 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: so cute. I love the story one hundred percent. Believe 528 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: that Lorraine is the real owner. And yeah, I don't know. 529 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: Who Daisy and June are. 530 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: I think they just found this cat and were like ours. 531 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: They're like, this is our cat. 532 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: Now, yeah, he doesn't have boths or he has boss, 533 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: but he's snootered. 534 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: Like what now. Daisy and June are all over this 535 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: post saying I have done a terrible, awful thing, they 536 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: will never see their cat again, that I will find 537 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: out how wrong I am, and making strange threats to 538 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: me via DM and on the post itself. It's literally 539 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: just Facebook, and I am not worried because I personally 540 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: feel like they are going positively crazy over a cat 541 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: that doesn't belong to them. I have a feeling that 542 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: maybe Daisy and June didn't fix this cat, but decided 543 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: he belonged to them because he was so friendly and sweet. 544 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: I have no clue, But the constant messages from these 545 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: two has gone under my skin a little bit. Maybe 546 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: I should have just brought him to the shelter and 547 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: wipe my hands clean of it. So these women have 548 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: nobody to blame. But I always worry about a cat 549 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: not being found by their owners in time before they're 550 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: put up for adoption. Also the very real possibility of 551 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: getting sick in a shelter. I don't know, lay it 552 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: on me, run it. I think I did fine, But 553 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: am I truly some twisted monster and don't know it? Lol? 554 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: No? No, you reunited a cat with its original family. 555 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think they just found this cat and 556 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: we're like, nor cat, Oh look, I'll take that mine 557 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: mine now. I mean the cat literally like went right 558 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: up to her, like, you know, perked at its name, 559 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: like it's yes, this is. 560 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: This person's cat. 561 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: So he I guess if they start like threatening you, 562 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: you could go to the police and be like, yeah, 563 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm getting threatened. 564 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 3: Although we should like definitely do to that cat, because 565 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: that cat for sure had babies with so many cats 566 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: when it was out. 567 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: For sure, I got a lot of little kiddies. Daisy 568 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: and June can go take one of them. 569 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 3: There's a ton of them. 570 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's the end of that story. 571 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 3: My neighbor demanded a lot of things. I said no 572 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: every time. No, I'm not doing your laundry again. A 573 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 3: little under a year ago, my partner and I moved 574 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 3: into our first place together. Everything's perfect. We live in 575 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: a very sought out area and the only issue we've 576 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 3: encountered is this one fox. 577 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: Who screams from ten pm to four am every night. 578 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: Loll wait a fox. By the way, this comes from 579 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: Louis Rodner to six oh two. 580 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: And if you want to spit your own stories, go 581 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: to the rslash Okay storytime severed it. I'm Sophia and 582 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: I'm Savannah and we're here to give good of ice goofy. 583 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 3: But we don't have all the answers. We only know 584 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: what we do, so let us know what you would 585 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 3: do in the comments, and op says, I wouldn't say 586 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: I have any issues with my neighbor, but I definitely 587 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 3: do not have any sort of relationship with her. The 588 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 3: only times we have ever spoken is when I bumped 589 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 3: into her in the stairwell. Even then it was a 590 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: simple hey. Also, nothing she has done is necessarily bad, 591 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 3: just annoying and weirdly entitled. For example, she knocked on 592 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 3: our door at six am in the middle of December, 593 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 3: asking if I could jumpstart her car. She was sort 594 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 3: of rambling, and I had woken up to her knocking, 595 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 3: so I didn't really get the whole story, but was 596 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 3: reluctant to leave my flat in the pitch black just 597 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: because a woman I hardly know asked me to. Anyway, 598 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: I said no. A few reasons why, one being it 599 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 3: was pitch black outside, another being it was the middle 600 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 3: of December and freezing cold outside, and also I hardly 601 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 3: know this woman. 602 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: I love that you just repeated everything. 603 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 3: You just said, and here are my reasons. I already 604 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: said everything above. She then sort of switched to what, 605 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: but I'm your neighbor. Actually, I mean, yeah, I guess 606 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 3: you're my neighbor, but like, I still don't know you. 607 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: You think I should trust going outside in the darkness 608 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 3: with a stranger just because our flats are opposite each other. No, 609 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 3: thank you? 610 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, she didn't. 611 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 3: Like that, so she told me that when I shut 612 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 3: the door, she's got to stand outside my flat and 613 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 3: wait for me. Okay, lady, I'm going back to sleep, 614 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 3: so you'll be waiting a while. Wait what Anyway, there 615 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 3: have been a handful of requests that have been rejected 616 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: every time because of many different reasons. 617 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: She once asked us if we had any chicken she 618 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: could have. Huh. 619 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 3: My partner turned to me and said, we have some 620 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: in the freezer. No, yes, we do. We buy big 621 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 3: packs of chicken and separate it into freezer bags as 622 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 3: there's only two of us. But our last chicken is 623 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 3: not being given away. So I went to the door 624 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 3: and said, yes we do, but it's for tea tonight. Sorry, 625 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 3: once again, what but I'm your neighbor. I was like, 626 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 3: a ah, sorry, we can help and shut the door. No, 627 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 3: this probably sounds very witchy, but I want to reiterate 628 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 3: one more time. I don't know this lady. 629 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: Now. 630 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 3: I don't mind being the a hole in those situations 631 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 3: because they happened over the time we've been here some 632 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 3: months ago. My question is for the most recent encounter 633 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: I've had with this lady. She buzzes my flat from 634 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 3: the front entrance and informs me that she's my neighbor 635 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 3: and she has forgotten her keys. I responded, Oh, that's 636 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 3: no good. Silence, silence, silence. So I put the phone down. 637 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: It buzzes again almost immediately. Excuse me, can you buzz 638 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 3: me in? 639 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: Now? 640 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 3: I hate to be that guy, but the landlord owner 641 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 3: of the building is told us numerous times we are not, 642 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: under any circumstances allowed to buzz anyone in unless they 643 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 3: are our guest. The delivery personnel have their own pin 644 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 3: to get into the buildings, so that's different for that reason. 645 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 3: So I stood there and I thought for a second, 646 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: if she's as pushy as she is, even after numerous projections, 647 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 3: what's she gonna be like if I let her in? 648 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: So I didn't. 649 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I hung up the phone and sat down on my couch. 650 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 3: She buzzed again and again and again, and continue buzzing 651 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 3: for about ten minutes until she finally gave up. Now 652 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: she doesn't live alone, so I don't know why she 653 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: couldn't just buzz her own door or get a key 654 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: from a flatmate or whatever. I don't really care all 655 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 3: that much if I am the a hole, as my 656 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: lease ends next month and I don't have to deal 657 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: with her anymore, but i'd like to know what others think. 658 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: Hold on, you are the a hole? 659 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? What I feel like that is what that is 660 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: a big a hole move because you know, you know 661 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: that she lives there. She's like, oh, I forgot my keys? 662 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: Can you just puss me? Inyo? You have to do 663 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: is press the button. That is like the biggest a 664 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: hole move. What are you talking about? 665 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't like her because she like asks you 666 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 3: for things that you say no to. 667 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: But you know she lives there. It's huge a movie 668 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: and also like the things that she asked for, Like 669 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's inconvenient, Like I mean I probably 670 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't have given her the chicken, but like I probably 671 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: would have jumped her car. 672 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 673 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: I feel like she just has. 674 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 3: Like a different kind of idea of what neighbors do 675 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: and who they are to people. And maybe she grew 676 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: up with having close neighbors who were very helpful and 677 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 3: that kind of friendly neighbor stereotype and stuff. Obviously you 678 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: kind of have to build up to that.

And you have 766 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 3: no idea why your girlfriend. 767 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: May be a little jealous of Felicia, not even like him. 768 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: Okay. 769 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 3: Sure. After about three days, my girlfriend pulled me aside 770 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 3: and said she felt very uncomfortable with Felicia's relationship with 771 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 3: my family. 772 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: She said that it looked like we were married by 773 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 1: the way she was treated. 774 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 3: I tried telling her that everyone likes her Felicia like 775 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 3: a cousin or something, but she wasn't buying it. She 776 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 3: kept telling me that but it wasn't appropriate for a 777 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 3: strange woman to be so close to a family, and 778 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 3: that everyone looks like they'd rather see me dating her. 779 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 3: She asked Peter distance myself and talk with Felicia about 780 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 3: the whole family involvement thing. 781 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 1: I find this very weird. 782 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 3: Felicia is like a sister to me and the rest 783 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 3: of my family, and she's not doing anything wrong. She's 784 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 3: not romantically interested to me, and she's great with my 785 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 3: grandma and little brother. I can't cut her out because 786 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 3: I honestly don't think she's done anything wrong and so 787 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 3: doesn't deserve this treatment. It's not really just me, she 788 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 3: has close ties with my family. Truth be told, if 789 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 3: I did that, my brother's parents and grandparents wouldn't forgive me, 790 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 3: and considering their adults, I don't believe I could prevent 791 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 3: them from having contact. Overall, I feel like everyone would 792 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 3: be punished, and it's not really fair to make things worse. 793 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: We had this discussion close. 794 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 3: To the bathroom my brother was in and he heard 795 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 3: everything my grandma still hasn't called me over, which she will, 796 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 3: but everyone has been colder to her and it shows. 797 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: Oh no, girl, Oh oh no, you mean it's so 798 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: much worse. 799 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 3: Girl. 800 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 2: I mean my advice before this was gonna be like, 801 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 2: maybe you ask your mom what she's feeling. Yeah, she 802 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: sees anything weird. Too late for that. 803 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: Too late. 804 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 3: I don't know how to navigate this situation. How can 805 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 3: I put my girlfriend at ease about Felicia, and how 806 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 3: can I smooth things over with the rest of my family. Yeah, 807 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 3: we've got relevant comments, but what do you think that's 808 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 3: a tough one to be. 809 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is pretty tough. 810 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I can totally see where girlfriend's like, this. 811 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: Is a little weird. 812 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, y Felicia, though it's Felicia. Everyone loves Felicia. Can't 813 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 3: get rid of Felicia. 814 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: No, But I do feel like we could limit Felicia 815 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 2: being around as often when girlfriend's visiting in town. 816 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 3: Sure, it could be, like I don't know if Felicia, 817 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 3: I mean, if girlfriend doesn't like to hang out with Felicia, 818 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 3: then maybe it's just prioritizing having a girlfriend and family time. 819 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 2: That's what I feel like. If we just limited Felicia 820 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 2: a little bit during when girlfriends in town visiting. It 821 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 2: would allow a girlfriend to get closer to family. 822 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, because she. 823 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 3: I think you can have another sit down conversation and say, hey, 824 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 3: Felicia's not going anywhere because honestly, it's not even my 825 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 3: relationship to control or she has her own relationship with 826 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 3: my family. However, if the issue here is that you 827 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 3: feel like you're not close to my family, we can 828 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 3: fix that. 829 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, we can work on how that go. 830 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 4: Yeah. 831 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 3: Relevant comment says, it doesn't sound like you or Felicia 832 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 3: are doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, a lot of people would 833 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 3: be insecure in your girlfriend's position. There's another woman that 834 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 3: knows you well, that as a deep connection to you, 835 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 3: that is ingrained in your family, and that a girlfriend 836 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 3: of yours could see his competition for not just your 837 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 3: approval but your family's. I can see why she'd be 838 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 3: freaked out by seeing the level of involvement Felicia has 839 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 3: with you and with your family. I'd say insecurity. 840 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: But it could also be a deal breaker for her hope. 841 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 3: He says, Yeah, I can understand and sympathize, but I 842 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 3: don't think it's fair I talk to her. 843 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: Thanks, I would be very cautious though about just like 844 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: not giving any time of day to your girlfriend's feelings. 845 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, because they are pretty valid. 846 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: Anyone would feel a little insecure by that. 847 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, And a private conversation that she wanted to talk 848 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 3: to you about that you could have, you know, reeled 849 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 3: back in and said, hey, I'm not going to do 850 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 3: that is now broadcast to the entire family. 851 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: That's tough, not a planet. Remember that. 852 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 3: She also might be worried that your family likes Felicia 853 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 3: more than they like Grace, And she's probably wondering if 854 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 3: your parents and family want the two of you, you 855 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 3: and Felicia to be together instead of you and Grace. 856 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they probably. 857 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 3: Knew unfortunately, so they probably do, or at least they 858 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:50,280 Speaker 3: did at one point. 859 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 860 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 2: I don't really believe the oh she's just like a sister. 861 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that. 862 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 3: Is probably not the case. But from Grace's perspective, if 863 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 3: Felicia is someone who has a long history with your 864 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 3: family and they obviously love and respect her, so it's 865 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 3: not too far fetched for her to think that they 866 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 3: would want you to end up with Felicia. Opie says, 867 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 3: it's possible, and I'll address this when I talk to her. 868 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: Thanks. 869 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 3: My family and hers never pressured us for a romantic relationship. 870 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 3: They actually think it would be quite weird. And Alita says, 871 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 3: I didn't say it a change anything, but I don't 872 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 3: think it's crazy. She's insecure either, and it may mean 873 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 3: your relationship may not work out. But I'm curious. Does 874 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 3: any of your family make comments about you two being 875 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 3: together or her family? Opie says they actually don't. Once 876 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 3: my sister in law said something about the two of 877 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 3: us ending up together, and the whole family, including Felicia, cringed. 878 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 3: My dad said something like it would be like my shut. 879 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: And daughter dated. 880 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 3: Okay, well that's good to know, good to know. Okay, 881 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 3: we've got an update. I think we can work through this. 882 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: Maybe. I think if all. 883 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 2: Parties are willing, yeah, put some time into it. 884 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 885 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 3: If I were Felicia also, I would want to be 886 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 3: like putting in the. 887 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: Effort to make it very clear that I have no interest. Yeah. 888 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: I also feel like if I was, and who knows, 889 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 2: because I'm not in this position, but I feel like 890 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 2: as Felicia, I would have naturally taken a step back 891 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 2: when this man that I'm hanging out with a lot 892 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 2: got started like dating. 893 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know. I think there's a way 894 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: to be respectful about it. 895 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 3: Update I guess, to the surprise of nobody except for myself. 896 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 1: Grace and I broke up. Well oh okay, I guess 897 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: not all parties were willing. Didn't give far at all tough. 898 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 3: After posting, I talked with my family and explain the 899 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 3: situation that I didn't communicate well and whatnot. They were 900 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 3: actually very understanding, but the mood was still kind of 901 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 3: awkward and uncomfortable. Besides that, my youngest brother wasn't on 902 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 3: his best behavior and he can hold a grudge. He's thirteen, though, 903 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 3: so I tried to cut him some slack, and knowing 904 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 3: that Felicia has been helping him with some girl problems, 905 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 3: I guess he was scared of losing a big sister figure. 906 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 3: He was kind of short and sassy, but nothing too bad. 907 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 3: We ended up leaving earlier because I knew she was 908 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 3: not feeling very well and I didn't want her to 909 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: feel pressured or something. We talked during the ride and 910 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 3: I apologize for not being very clear and made sure 911 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,919 Speaker 3: to say I don't have and never had any kind 912 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 3: of romantic or spicy feeling for Felicia, and neither does 913 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 3: she for me, and that my family doesn't want us 914 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 3: to end up together. I think she felt kind of 915 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 3: conflicted and asked for a few days to herself. We 916 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 3: met up and she broke up with me. Okay, yeah, 917 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 3: well there you go. 918 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, parties not willing. 919 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 3: No, and said that even though rationally she knows I 920 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 3: would never cheat and that she believes me, she can't 921 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 3: feel comfortable in a relationship like this. 922 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 2: Which is totally fair. Though. Yeah, she knows her boundaries 923 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 2: as soon or she knows like how she is as 924 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 2: a person. I guess it's not even boundaries, but like 925 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 2: that it wouldn't be something that she could do. And 926 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 2: it's unfortunate that it was two years in by the 927 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 2: time that you guys went back to your hometown. Yeah, 928 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 2: at least she knew right away, and she didn't try 929 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: for another two years, knowing she was gonna hate it 930 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 2: and be uncomfortable. 931 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and resenting you, and then you're resenting her. 932 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 2: It just was like better to end on like semi 933 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 2: good terms and like a resentful mess. 934 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely, in terms of breakups, it was pretty okay. We 935 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 3: both cried then we talked and laughed, but I think 936 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 3: it was for the best. Remaining in the relationship would 937 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 3: only hurt us both overall. She was my first serious girlfriend. 938 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 2: Well, okay, that too then. 939 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're still learning anyway. 940 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah ages twenty three, Okay, that's young. 941 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you were learning, and I'm glad we had this. 942 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure she'll find someone amazing. I'm taking some time 943 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 3: off dating, but I'm fine, I guess. Ironically, though, Felicia 944 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 3: got a boyfriend. Nice Felicia. 945 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: I met him and they're perfect for each other. 946 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 3: I'm happy for I told her why Grace and I 947 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 3: broke up, and she felt kind of guilty, but I 948 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 3: told her it was no one's fault and advised her 949 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 3: to explain clearly to her boyfriend. Yeah, let's not wait 950 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 3: for the two years in mar Nope, straight out, I 951 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 3: have this friend back home. Yeah. 952 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: Edit, totally crap. 953 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 3: Okay, the response is here blown up and they pissed 954 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 3: me off enough to edit and clarify some things. Felicia 955 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 3: is part of the family. I don't care if she's 956 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 3: not approved by the government, not blood related, just a neighbor. 957 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 3: We grew up together, and my family treats her like 958 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 3: another kid. We cried when she got into her dream college. 959 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,439 Speaker 3: My parents scolded her when she did something wrong, took 960 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 3: her side if they thought she was right, and the 961 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 3: opposite too. I do have fault in this situation because 962 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 3: I didn't communicate properly with Grace and gave her the 963 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 3: wrong impression of what me and Felicia had. I admit this. 964 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 3: I talked to her and apologized. I have no romantic 965 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 3: feelings for Felicia, nor does my family want us to 966 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 3: end up together. 967 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: Yes, it is. 968 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 3: Possible for a man and a woman to be platonic friends, 969 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 3: and that's what we are. I didn't discuss with my 970 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 3: family when Grace was there, not really sure why people 971 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 3: thought I did. She was out and I explained to 972 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 3: everyone why she felt uncomfortable and made it clear it 973 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 3: was a communication issue. Everyone there saying my family shouldn't 974 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 3: be involved in our relationships. This wasn't just about us, 975 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 3: this was about a family friend. I don't agree with 976 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 3: what my brother did and talk with him, but they 977 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 3: do have the right to be aware if someone wants 978 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 3: their son or brother to cut off contact with someone 979 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 3: who's always at the house. I'm not angry at Grace 980 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 3: and she's not angry at me. We have different deal 981 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 3: breakers and that's okay. I can respect this and she 982 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 3: couldn't respect my family dynamic. Stop trying to turn felicia 983 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 3: involvement with my family into a bad thing. It's not. 984 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 3: When someone posts about closet guard parents, people are quick 985 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 3: to say, she is your own family and similar things. 986 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 3: Why is it wrong for Felicia to be close to 987 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 3: my family like this? Do we really live in a 988 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 3: society so closed off by blood ties that we can't 989 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 3: make our own family of choice unless we don't have 990 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 3: any other option. I feel sorry for you guys.

Recently, she's been looking for a breakthrough 1068 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 2: the other day she got a great offer from an 1069 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 2: agency with a very generous amount of money.

I, however, 1071 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: have a problem with it because it's a nude photo. 1072 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 3: Shoot. 1073 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 2: When my girlfriend approached me to talk about the offer, 1074 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 2: I am ashamed to admit I didn't react very well. 1075 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 2: Oh buddy, okay, I lashed out, although later I felt 1076 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 2: kind of bad because she was so excited when she 1077 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 2: came up to tell me about it, and I just 1078 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 2: wiped the happiness right off her face. Anyway, I told 1079 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 2: her this was something I was absolutely not okay with. 1080 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 2: I do feel like this should have been a conversation 1081 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 2: when she started modeling. 1082 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, like, hey, is there anything you're not okay with 1083 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 3: in terms of like my career. 1084 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 2: Right, and then you could have said no nude photo shoots, 1085 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 2: and then she could have decided if she still wanted 1086 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 2: to be with you. Yeah, she says, in the beginning 1087 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: of our relationship, I said I would always be supportive 1088 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 2: of her dreams. She vaguely mentioned how one of the 1089 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 2: things she really wanted to do was overcome her shyness 1090 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 2: and get into nude photography. At the time, I just 1091 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 2: said yeah, sure quickly, because I hoped that if our 1092 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 2: relationship ever got serious, she would give up those dreams 1093 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 2: and reorient herself to You're. 1094 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: The a I don't like eving mad.

When we cooled down, 1104 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 2: we sat to have a discussion. She told me she 1105 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 2: had something to tell me, that she'd always been too 1106 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 2: shy too. I said, okay, And she tells me that 1107 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 2: she's always wanted to do soft corn and nude photoshoots. 1108 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,919 Speaker 2: She struggled with her body for years, but she says 1109 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,760 Speaker 2: she loves her body now and wants to express herself 1110 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 2: and really hopes that I can accept that, and that 1111 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 2: nothing would make her happier. She assured me that she 1112 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 2: does not want to get into actual corn scenes or 1113 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 2: have spicy sleep with anyone other than me, and just 1114 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 2: wants to express herself in a way she knows will 1115 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 2: make her the happiest. She said that it had always 1116 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,760 Speaker 2: been her dream, and then I promised I would accept 1117 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 2: all of her. I did say something like that when 1118 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 2: we were being gushy during the early part of our relationship, 1119 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 2: but I wasn't thinking of her going into corn at 1120 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 2: the time, and I would always support her dreams. 1121 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 3: Okay, So now I'm a little bit on your side, 1122 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:38,359 Speaker 3: just a little bit. 1123 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 2: I'm not because she was upfront with it. 1124 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 3: She but well she didn't, she wasn't afraid about the 1125 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 3: corn stuff. It's to me, it sounds like she's coming 1126 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 3: to him now and saying, I want to get into 1127 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 3: soft core corn. Yeah, the new needs she does, and 1128 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 3: she mentioned so that's that I think you shouldn't be 1129 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 3: upset about or like you should have said something at 1130 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:58,760 Speaker 3: that point. Yeah. 1131 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 2: To me, though, the corecorn sounds pretty similar still to 1132 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,360 Speaker 2: just like a nude shoot of some sort, because she 1133 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 2: doesn't want to actually do anything. Ye anybody, So I'm 1134 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 2: picturing it's just I'm picturing more of just like a 1135 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 2: video nude shoot instead of a photo nude shoot. 1136 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess, or I guess 1137 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,919 Speaker 3: it just depends on what that entails. Yeah, and how 1138 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 3: far from what she originally said. 1139 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 2: And this is also the time where you speak you're 1140 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 2: comfortable you with that because she's reopening that door of 1141 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 2: boundaries to be talked about. 1142 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 3: And you don't just say, Okay, I guess I whatever. 1143 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 2: She'll totally change for me. 1144 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, this is where you get to decide what 1145 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 3: are your boundaries because you already kind of ignored your 1146 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,399 Speaker 3: you know, ignored what she asked you the first time, right, 1147 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,400 Speaker 3: so decide now, I guess. 1148 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 2: I told her it was a reasonable expectation that when 1149 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 2: you're in a relationship with someone, you were going to 1150 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 2: have to make some sacrifices.

Tough luck, my god, dude, God, 1152 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 2: see the other side of this, where like maybe you'll 1153 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 2: have to like figure out your boundaries.

A relationship 1164 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 2: is spicy related exclusivity in every form.

By soft corn, 1174 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 2: I mean she wants to do photoshoots with other people 1175 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 2: where it looks like they're having spicy sleep, so it's 1176 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,280 Speaker 2: still just nude photography. 1177 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, that one would be a little bit different for me. 1178 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 3: I think I have from what she originally said. 1179 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,359 Speaker 2: See to me, it's not super different.

They probably 1184 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 2: have an intimacy coordinator, it would have to h so 1185 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: like you could see the behind the scenes that it's 1186 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 2: literally nothing, that it's posed still, that it's not like 1187 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,800 Speaker 2: they're just like, yeah, actually going at it and someone's 1188 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 2: taking pictures. 1189 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 3: I think it would be a reasonable boundary for him 1190 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 3: having already technically agreed to the nude photography.

He started talking more and more about 1302 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 3: his issue with the workforce, capitalism, et cetera, and wanted 1303 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 3: to do something he fully enjoyed. He landed on driving 1304 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 3: and started to live in car parts for a local store. 1305 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 3: When the season came to a close and he wasn't 1306 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 3: getting enough hours, he decided to DoorDash. 1307 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:08,840 Speaker 1: At this point, he has been doing. 1308 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 3: That job for fourteen months, with little research into other 1309 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 3: fields and careers he'd like to do. The money is 1310 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 3: not stable and outside factors like his car not working, 1311 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 3: can affect his livelihood out of nowhere. I've been paying 1312 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 3: his half of the rent for five months, pay for 1313 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 3: all the dates, and cover most of the groceries so 1314 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 3: he can build his savings and get back on his feet. 1315 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 1: Why cooky gookie? 1316 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 3: At this point, I feel that if he would just 1317 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 3: have a more stable job by now, I wouldn't have 1318 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 3: had to do most of this. Our life is fairly cheap, 1319 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 3: with rent alone being only eight hundred dollars a month, 1320 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 3: which includes all the utilities. 1321 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:46,959 Speaker 1: Dang, where do you live? 1322 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, my savings have remained the same for over a 1323 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 3: year when I'm a sevice siver. We have talked about 1324 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 3: this quite a few times, and he has expressed wanting 1325 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 3: to get a better job, with no real actions being taken. 1326 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 3: Now we get to two months ago, our house floods 1327 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 3: and I'm stuck dealing with the prep for mediation, ripping 1328 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 3: our house apart, and set house being a camper that 1329 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 3: I've gone through four harsh winters in as he doesn't 1330 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 3: want to move into an apartment and is waiting to 1331 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 3: buy a house. We had already had a Key West 1332 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 3: trip planned with my family and use that time to 1333 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 3: allow the treatment to be done while us and the 1334 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 3: cats were out of there. You're still in contact with 1335 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 3: your family. You must have a really complicated relationship with him. 1336 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 3: The only thing he pays for on the entire trip 1337 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 3: is gas for a very economical car. 1338 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 1: When we get. 1339 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 3: Back, it became my turn to hit rock bottom. My 1340 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 3: entire plant collection, over thirty varieties that I have cared 1341 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 3: for four years, were all passed away. My house was 1342 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 3: torn apart. The hardwood floor I installed last year is warped. 1343 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 3: My OCD is raging at the chaos, and my ADHD 1344 00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 3: is panicked by the amount of work to do. Then 1345 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 3: my business partner decided it may be best for me 1346 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 3: to step back and may even close the brokerage altogether. 1347 00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 3: My best friends are all distant and busy with their 1348 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 3: own life. I feel like my entire world was crumbling 1349 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 3: around me, and when I turned to him for support, 1350 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 3: I was met with harsh words meant to encourage me 1351 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 3: to reach my potential, when all I needed was a hug. 1352 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 3: I coped by increasing my hangouts with a coworker that's 1353 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 3: a bit messy with men, and becoming friends with a 1354 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 3: mechanic next door to one of the breweries I work at. 1355 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 3: With my coworker, we would go to the bars on 1356 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 3: the weekend. And Andrew was okay with this, only concerned 1357 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 3: for my safety and always assured me he trusted me 1358 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 3: as for the mechanic. The more work on cars we 1359 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 3: did together, the more I could tell my boyfriend was 1360 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 3: becoming irritated. To a point I was almost afraid to 1361 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 3: tell him we hung out, or that I wanted to 1362 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 3: hang out with him. 1363 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 2: Sounds like a great time to break up. 1364 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, when we're afraid of our partner, that's not good. 1365 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 2: And also it sounds like we might have some interest 1366 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 2: in Andrew, and maybe that's a better thing to pursue. 1367 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a job. He's got a job. 1368 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 3: This friend even helped us prep Andrew's car for our 1369 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 3: Florida trip. I could understand llusy as I'd often work 1370 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 3: on cars with Andrew, as he tends to get mad, 1371 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 3: and I came from a household where yelling was common 1372 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 3: and set off my survival instincts. But I also hate 1373 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 3: the cold, and this mechanic friend had a shop, so 1374 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 3: we didn't have to be in the cold. I get 1375 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,720 Speaker 3: home one night and start telling Andrew about what I 1376 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 3: learned that night and what we did at the shop. 1377 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 3: I start prepping a super fancy dinner I had planned 1378 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,920 Speaker 3: when I discover the fish has gone bad. He questions 1379 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 3: me on it if it's really bad, and I say 1380 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 3: in a playful way, it's funny how when you cook 1381 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 3: you always want me to check the meat as you 1382 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 3: trust what I think, but you don't trust me on 1383 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 3: this and giggle. 1384 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,240 Speaker 1: Oh no. Within seconds, he yells at me. 1385 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 3: Just have a break up with me already, and uh, 1386 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 3: that's unhealthy. 1387 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 1: That's super unhealthy. You should never be screaming at you. 1388 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 2: That's also when you say, okay, sure, yeah, I will 1389 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 2: do that. 1390 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 3: Then yeah, grabs the trash bag and walks out of 1391 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 3: the house. I stood there, stunned until he walks back 1392 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 3: in and stands in silence about five feet away. I 1393 01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 3: asked him if he wanted to talk about what just happened, 1394 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 3: and he begins around, well, I just find it perfect 1395 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,440 Speaker 3: that you're writing your very own okay story time about 1396 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 3: mechanic friend turn into f buddy.

And this 1421 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,919 Speaker 3: doesn't even include the lack of support I've had from him. 1422 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 3: These friends have been my only real support system. 1423 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 1: He back pedals and admits. 1424 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 3: He's projecting and he's feeling insecure, but the damage has 1425 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 3: been done. I let him set me back in life 1426 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 3: and now he disrespects me like that. I moved out 1427 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 3: a few days later to my coworker's house, but I 1428 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 3: still don't have much of my stuff back and haven't 1429 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:35,160 Speaker 3: taken my cat yet. 1430 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 2: Go get your cat' and then fully break up with 1431 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 2: this man because I'm not sure that you have here. 1432 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like she moved out, which. 1433 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 2: Is great, right, I need you to go back and 1434 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 2: say the words, yeah, I'm breaking. 1435 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 3: Up with you, and op like it's less of an 1436 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 3: issue now because you're twenty four.

Do not give this man 1479 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 2: a second chance? 1480 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 3: Do you give him a second chance? 1481 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1482 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 2: Honestly, Like, if I was really reaching, I would say, 1483 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 2: like the hiding who you're hanging out with could have 1484 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 2: been a point of being slightly like, yeah, icky to 1485 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 2: do in a relationship. I personally would be like that 1486 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 2: was kind of bad. But knowing what you were dealing 1487 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 2: with and not that it makes it right. I think 1488 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 2: it was what you needed to realize that you had 1489 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 2: to get. 1490 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 3: Out of this. 1491 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And sometimes with crazy relationships like that, it is 1492 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 2: just like okay, fine, it wasn't great, but like get 1493 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 2: out of there. 1494 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's just you know, don't go back 1495 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,400 Speaker 3: into a relationship where you felt you needed to hide things, 1496 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 3: where you were scared to tell him things, where he 1497 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 3: yelled at you, where he didn't support you. I think 1498 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,200 Speaker 3: my final thought is that you seem much more mature 1499 01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 3: for your age, and he seems very not mature at 1500 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 3: all for his age. And I think that is it 1501 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,320 Speaker 3: seems like you would somehow meet in the middle, but 1502 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 3: I think I think that is not how it works. 1503 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Too far, God, Yes, he's too far in the other direction. 1504 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 1: Uh, don't go back with them. No, you're one of us. 1505 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: I want you to be happy and safe and not 1506 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,040 Speaker 1: with this guy. 1507 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the end of this story.
