1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I told my husband he's dead weight. Now you won't

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: talk to me. I thirty four female, have been with

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: my husband thirty seven male, will call him Nathan for

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: eight years. Ever since our daughter, three female, was born,

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: I have been unable to trust Nathan with anything, no

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: matter how small. By the way, this comes from Intrepid

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: By thirty one fifty two on the r slash Okay

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: storytime ce about it so background context. When I was nineteen,

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: a semi truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: turned my car into scrap metal with me inside it.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I have enough metal hold me together that I light

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 1: up like a Christmas tree for the TSA and am

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: physically impaired with good days in bad days.

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's really hard.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: I used a portion of my settlement check to buy

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: a house outright and have it retrofitted to accommodate my needs,

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: and I'll eventually require a wheelchair. I work in software

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: development and it's fun and nobody cares how I work

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: from bed on bad days. My husband has not worked

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: in five years, which has been fine until our daughter

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: was born. Between the settlement money, a paid off alice,

22
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: and my salary, I enjoyed having him there with me.

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: He contributed by handling most of the domestics. We pay

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: for a weekly cleaner with monthly deep cleaning because it

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: gave us more time together. That's like everything's going well,

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, stay at home husband vibes. Ever since our

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: daughter was born, it was like a light switch turned

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: off in his head. For our daughters, he would buy

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: the wrong sized diaper, not fully mixed bottles, put diapers

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: on backwards, leave out poop covered wipes forget to latch cabinets.

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: This past week, he has gone to the store three

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: times because he keeps coming home with the wrong sized

33
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: socks and shoes for her. I eventually just ordered the

34
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: right ones on Amazon. I'm thinking maybe he might be

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: exhausted or brain thing, brain thing? Might I have a

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: brain thing? I've been forgetting words recently, and I feel

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: like I need to get my brain checked out.

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, I do that all the time. Okay,

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: I think it's any.

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: Maybe anyway for me. He has tried to help me

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: with my weekly pill organizer fill up and several times

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: to spill the contents of new men medications all over

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the floor, then not seeing that he didn't get all

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: of them. Off the floor. He's repeatedly bought me grapefruit

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: juice to take my medications with a huge no. He

46
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: has repeatedly forgotten that I can't have dairy and puts

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: milk in my coffee or cheese on a burger. He

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: has broken so many things of mine from being careless.

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: He shattered my laptop because it slipped out of his

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: hand when he tried to pack it for a trip. Honestly,

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I feel like he's doing all of the nice things.

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe maybe he needs, like like give

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: him a day off.

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: He's either exhausted or his brain is not working. Yeah.

56
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's fifty percent of the way there and

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: then his brain's just like new.

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm worried he has like a tumor or something. Yeah,

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: that's what I'm worried about. But I see you in

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: the chat if.

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: You see just because because she said it happened right

62
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: after the daughter was born, So I am.

63
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Thinking, oh, maybe he's just exhausted. Every Yeah, even after

64
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: I said I would pack my own electronics. We've lost

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: so many spoons and forks to the disposal. He tried

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: to replace the head gasket in my car and over

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: torque the engine bolt which shattered the inside block, and

68
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: two different shops said they couldn't repair it. All these

69
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: things are like he's trying to help, yeah, but and

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: just making it so much worse.

71
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Josephinmadlberquis and Katie Linn both said weaponized in competence. Also,

72
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: thank you, I don't like seven second. The only reason

73
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: why I don't think it is weaponized in competence is

74
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: because Opie specifically said before the baby he was perfect,

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: like he was very helpful and very competent.

76
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: No, it's definitely not. He's he's working and barely doing

77
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: anything for the kids working. He's not working and barely

78
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: doing anything for the kid whilst she works and has

79
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: to do the things he failed. I think I think

80
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: it's an issue.

81
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: But I'm the only reason why I'm like, I don't

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: think this is what I think there's something else going on.

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big switch. I don't think

84
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: it's intentional. And also something I'm noticing to everything that

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: he's effing up is him trying to do something nice

86
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: for the family. It's not usually for there's him. I

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: think he's being run ragged could be EIGHTYHD. He's trying

88
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: to be nice but not executing correctly. But he was

89
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: doing things good beforehand. I think there's something off. There's

90
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: something off.

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, only because I feel like in a

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: lot of the stories where it is weaponizing competence, the

93
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: husband or the partner was doing it beforehand.

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

95
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: I don't think this was a pattern like this. It

96
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: seems like a huge.

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: We ended up having to get a new vehicle because

98
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: the replacement engine would have costed eleven thousand dollars. A

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: week later, he crashed the new car into the garage

100
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: door because he thought he pressed the brakes at the accelerator.

101
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: This is so much more than that. It weaponized in confidence.

102
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: He wanted to do tiktoks and streaming as a hobby.

103
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: I supported him initially, but I quickly noticed a pattern

104
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: anything regarding our daughter or me. He was sloppying careless.

105
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: He never whipseed his own stuff. He would build entire

106
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: sets to stream or make videos with, leave the garage

107
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: and leave his brain in the garage. Came to a

108
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: head four nights ago. He streamed himself building a new

109
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: set piece nine hours straight. Meanwhile, I worked clocked out

110
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: early to pick up our daughter from summer camp, cooked,

111
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: fed both of us, got her ready to bed. He

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: came out to help put her to bed. I let

113
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: him know that I needed to get some work done

114
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: and would be in my office, and I asked him

115
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: to take the trash out. He said he will. Two

116
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: hours later, I left my office and the house felt

117
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: really warm. He'd taken the trash out, but left the

118
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: front door partially open and was back in the garage

119
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: with his game volume really loud. I panicked because our

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: daughter is able to get out of bed, and thankfully

121
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: she was sound asleep, but she could have easily toddled

122
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: right out of the house and he wouldn't have noticed.

123
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Then I noticed the stovetop burner was on with a

124
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: small pot on it and nothing inside. I didn't use

125
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: the stovetop for cooking that night. Dude, this, I mean, hey,

126
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's not weaponizing confidence, but this needs to be addressed.

127
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, this is dangerous.

128
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: This is back.

129
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: I think it needed to be addressed.

130
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Like Bell cong says, oh no, f that divorce, I

131
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I would divorce over that.

132
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: I think it is a conversation where you say Hey,

133
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: you've been, you know, making a lot of mistakes that

134
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: are dangerous, that are putting your life in danger, our

135
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: daughter's life in danger.

136
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: I once stated someone who was like super like absent minded,

137
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: very smart, but very absent minded, and it was pretty frustrating. Yeah,

138
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I remember, like she like did a nice again, it

139
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: was nice things that she was doing. She did a

140
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: nice thing, got us tickets to Hawaii, but then like

141
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't check what COVID test we needed and then we

142
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: got turned away at the border. It was a nice thing. Honestly,

143
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: I put it on me. I'm like, I should have

144
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: been involved in the like the planning process, but it

145
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: was small things like that, which it feels like he's

146
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: doing too. Is like trying to do nice things but

147
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: falling short. It's like I don't want to like put

148
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 1: blame on that. Yeah, but also like you're a team

149
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: and you need to work on things together.

150
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just Casana says. It's normal incompetence.

151
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: It's normal incompetence. It's funny. Well, I pop my head

152
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: in the garage and I say, hey, I need you

153
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: for a minute. I informed him of the door situation,

154
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: and he responds, I thought I locked it. We checked

155
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: the camera and no, he did not. I asked about

156
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: the burner being on, and he said he was planning

157
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: to make rabin and forgot. He pulled the still pot

158
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: off the burner and put it straight into the sink,

159
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: on top of our daughter's favorite plastic plate, which is

160
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: now ruined. I'll admit I overreacted and screamed, what are

161
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: you doing. He realized what he'd done and pulls the

162
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: pot off our daughter's plate and straight onto the countertop.

163
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: I grab it quickly and run it underwater to cool

164
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: it down. I tell him I can't tonight. I can't

165
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: deal with him. I'm taking my meds and going to sleep.

166
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: He gets a cup from the cupboard and sets it

167
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: straight down on the burner that you'd bet on. I

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: hit my limit. I started crying. He kept saying that

169
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: it was fine. Things happen, It's just an accident. He's

170
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: had a rough day from streaming. He's just tired, understandable.

171
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 4: Nice, Yeah, something.

172
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: You don't know how hard you work streaming.

173
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: When you work like like three ten hour streams in

174
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: a row, it gets heavy. It's hard.

175
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: Is heavy?

176
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: Why am I crying? It's just a cup? We can

177
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: replace it. The anger hit and I said, it's because

178
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I have a liability and not a partner. He said,

179
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: what the f of that mean? I screamed that it's

180
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: because I can't trust him to do anything, that I'm

181
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: always having to watch him like a child, always having

182
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: to bear the cost of his mistakes. That every time

183
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: I get careless and think I can trust him to

184
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: be an adult, I'm always the one getting left over.

185
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I then said, I can't see you as a partner anymore.

186
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: You're just another liability in my checkbook. Harsh pite true true.

187
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: Belliba says, yeah, but it could be dementia. That's what

188
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking.

189
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: That's right. That's the thing is that I think that

190
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: not saying this is a peace fault. But like for

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: her own sanity, I think she should have brought this

192
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: up sooner and said, like, hey, I've been noticing you've been,

193
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: you know, doing that. This stuff has been happening. We

194
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: should go to the doctor, or we should go to

195
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: the therapist. Why do you think this is happening?

196
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: Kimberly find says, sometimes bad acts are disguised as good. Sure,

197
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: but like this just seems so I think the best

198
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: way honestly, to view most situations is to view people

199
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: in the best possible light. Yeah, and until till you, like,

200
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: are proven otherwise. I don't know if we have proof

201
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: that he's being intentionally bad.

202
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

203
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: I think what we need to do is we need to,

204
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: like go to the doctor.

205
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: I think, go to the doctor, and.

206
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,359
Speaker 1: Then if there's nothing wrong, I'd be like, yo, dude,

207
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: step up.

208
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: Dude, Okay, here's my thing real quick. Yeah, he is

209
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: sloppy with the things that seems like he doesn't like doing,

210
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: but he's very on point with the things he likes doing,

211
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: not making a lot of mistakes. Could he be taking

212
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: some substances or just being drunk all the time and

213
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: that's why he's making these sloppy mistakes, she would know.

214
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, I don't know. I think a

215
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: lot of people were saying ADHD, which I think could

216
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: be in line with he's very focused on the things

217
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: he enjoys, but when he's doesn't enjoy it, it's less

218
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: focus on.

219
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: Those Ein Smelck says, I'd put my money on Huntington's says,

220
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: my dad is dementia and this is deaf early signs.

221
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, definitely go to the doctor.

222
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Let's see. So he immediately stormed out of the kitchen

223
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: and went to bed. I called my mom and told

224
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: her what happened. She thinks it's just stressed off to

225
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: take our daughter for a week so we could figure

226
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: this out without our daughters this. She says it was

227
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: an a whole thing to do to call my husband

228
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: a liability. But I honestly understand her saying that just

229
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: like being so fed up with this, it's still in

230
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: a whole move, but it's like unhandle, it's understandable. In

231
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: the morning, I told my husband that my mom would

232
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: pick up our daughter from summer camp and offer to

233
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: watch her for the week. He said, okay, And that's

234
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: the only interaction we've had since. He spends all day

235
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: in the garage, playing games with his friends, making tiktoks,

236
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and streaming for food. He's been ordering door dashed and

237
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: has been having the person deliver it in the garage.

238
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: It's been days, and he refuses to be in the

239
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: same room as me. I've tried messaging him to ask

240
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: if we can talk or figure out a solution, but

241
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: he's just left me unread by popping the garage. He

242
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: ignores me, but apologizes to his friends or viewers for

243
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: the interruption and unmutes his mic when the noise stops.

244
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: If you want this noise and never stop, you should

245
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: join us on YouTube every weekday at three PMPSD. Just

246
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: tap our profile. Before the blow up, I've asked if

247
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: there was something going on. I've tried to gently respond

248
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: every time he screwed up so our daughter didn't associate

249
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: mistake to anger. I asked him to schedule with a

250
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: doctor to see if something was wrong medically snaps for that,

251
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,479
Speaker 1: he always said I was overreacting.

252
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: People make mistakes, which then then this goes into him

253
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: being me.

254
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, honestly, like this is really bad. If you're

255
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: not going to get checked out by a doctor, you're

256
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: not stepping up in anything.

257
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 3: Not.

258
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

259
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: Maybe it's gotten to the point where he's been given

260
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: so much of a like a free pass to do

261
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: anything and like not any responsibility, that he's just completely

262
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: shut down the responsible side of his brain. You know.

263
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: It's like kind of like he's become dependent on op

264
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: for being his mom too. It's like it sounds like

265
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: he's like sounds like he's not being a master of

266
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: the household. He's just being a liability of the household,

267
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, where it's like you know, like when you

268
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: have a stay at home parent, they're like supposed to

269
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: do all the financials for the house or like clean around,

270
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: cook take care of the kids. Doesn't seem like he's

271
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: doing any of that and didn't see is an issue

272
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: even when the mistakes kept happening. When I tried to

273
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: get him to understand that it was concerning just how

274
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: expensive his mistakes were getting, he'd wave it off as

275
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: if it's not like we can afford it. I love

276
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: him dearly. I just missed the person he was before

277
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: we had a child, that when I could try and

278
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: rely on. Also, we have an update on this.

279
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: I was so scared that we didn't have an update.

280
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: I found it.

281
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: Did I screw this up? Forever? Was I being too

282
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: harsh on his mistakes? Am I missing something? Am I

283
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: the a hole? And there is?

284
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: Need the update up? Thick? I need it like now

285
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: it's thick later I need it.

286
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I need it so bad? Are we

287
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: just going back in?

288
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: Just go back, go back all right?

289
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: Sorry for not being responsive. Thank you so much for

290
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: everyone who gave feedback and suggestions and all the messages.

291
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: It's been a week before I get into the update.

292
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: Going to answer some repeated questions. One, what does my

293
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: husband do for work? He can easily find employment, but

294
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: we both agreed that the pay was never worth the

295
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: toxic environment of his field unless he wanted to start

296
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: his own business, which he did not. He worked at

297
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: home repair and renovation. It was gross. House coworkers spoke

298
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: and treated women, female customers, and co workers alike. He

299
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: saw many female coworkers be sexually harassed into quittic. He

300
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: hated how gross it made him feel when sales and

301
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: adjusters would take advantage of women. Yes, selling inferior and

302
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: un unnecessary services as a premium is a thing. If

303
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: he said anything, his hours would get cut until he left.

304
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: He left one job on the first day because his

305
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: boss left a screaming voicemail for not selling a refrigerant

306
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: service to a young black couple who didn't even need refrigerant. Yes,

307
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: he's got documentation, reported multiple employers to the state board

308
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: and checked back. Nothing was ever done. He also tried

309
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: a factory job at a warehouse job. Since leaving the trades,

310
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: both heavily penalized him for needing scheduled time off from

311
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: a medical needs. There's no worker protection here for any

312
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: of that until FMLA was paid, which takes a year

313
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: to be eligible for. Yes, it is a privilege to

314
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: walk away from a paying job with your middle fingers

315
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: health high. I've done the same many times. Happy where

316
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: I am right now because it's the opposite of toxic.

317
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm thriving, and our company has no penalty unlimited paid

318
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: sick medical leave policy that is strictly enforced at all

319
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: level of management. Any lead who penalizes people from taking

320
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: six leave get sacked. A unicorn of a company added

321
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: a child, and a short of finding another unicorn employer

322
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: who won't penalize him for needing time off for me

323
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: or our daughter, such as when daycare closed for a

324
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: week due to an RSV outbreak, puts him out of

325
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: the workforce until either I stop working or a child

326
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: is old enough to not need consistent monitoring. So basically

327
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: what they decided is it seems like it's better for

328
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: him to not work so he can take care of

329
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the kid.

330
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

331
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Last reason for this dynamic is that although I'm disabled,

332
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: my job pays almost double the highest salary he's ever

333
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: had with no reduction in pay for needing time off.

334
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't make financial sense for us to switch who

335
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: is the working partner. Two does my husband have a

336
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: large following or make money from streaming slash TikTok No,

337
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: he has an average of six viewers and has three

338
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Twitch followers.

339
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's like, I love that for you. I

340
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: just think it's funny that he was like, I've had

341
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: a hard streaming.

342
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: And he's like, guys, guys, guys, don't worry. Don't worry.

343
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on pause. We'll be right back

344
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: and pay. Hey, you know what, it starts small, and

345
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: it starts somewhere, professionals. It starts with six. When we

346
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: did our taxes, he didn't get a ten to ninety

347
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: nine and showed me that he made six dollars from

348
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: TikTok live gifts, nothing from Twitch. His viewer counts are

349
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: about the same as the end of the year. Three.

350
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: Why do we still have weekly housekeeper with our daughter

351
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: in summer camp and part time daycare? I hate the

352
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: dynamic of one spouse working a single job for forty

353
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: hours a week while the other juggles simultaneous domestic duties,

354
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: child rearing, care, Richmond socialization, and essentially being on call

355
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. I would not want those expectations

356
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: of me and couldn't fathom putting all of it on

357
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: someone I love and cherish. If my husband did all

358
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: the activities and field trips that daycare did, if evenings

359
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: and weekends would be taken up by domestic duties that

360
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: I would physically struggle with assisting. Okay, So it's like

361
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: a thing for them both. The weekly housekeeper helps prevent

362
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: deferred cleaning paralysis where small miss things pile up into

363
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: unwieldly monster task and struggling with where to start. The

364
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: monthly deep clean and organization has been a world of

365
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: self care as we navigated to having an infant and

366
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: a transition from infant to toddler. So basically it's like

367
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: a helpful thing.

368
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sophia Kollen says, I, Hey, you have to start somewhere.

369
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: That's still cool. It's hard to start. Agreed, absolutely. I

370
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: just think it's funny that he was saying he had

371
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: a hard stream.

372
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know he was using that as excuse. Hey,

373
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: you know what streaming to six people is hard? You

374
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: don't have as many people to play off of.

375
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: Okay, my thought if I was going to be a streamer,

376
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: I wouldn't just be streaming. I would be cutting everything

377
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: up and putting it on YouTube. I feel like his

378
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: approach to.

379
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: It was wrong.

380
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't have genius content brains like us.

381
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly well.

382
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: Also, there was an edit to add our daughter started

383
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: at part time daycare when she was three. Before then,

384
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: my partner was the primary caretaker, which made the weekly

385
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: housekeeping that much more helpful and not letting things fall

386
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: into us ray for the allowance thing, Yes, I wanted

387
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: a dynamic where my husband has his own money, even

388
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: if he was not working a paying job. Maybe I've

389
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: been on social media too long, but I've read so

390
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: many stories of non working spouses, albeit mostly women, being

391
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: financially abused or unable to leave marriages because they did

392
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: not have access to money that they could save in private,

393
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: that I have stopped it sooner when our dynamic became

394
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: too unbalanced. Yes, I owned that five. What happens if

395
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: we divorced The house and settlement balance is in a trust,

396
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: completely separated as far as my lawyer can tell, out

397
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: of his reach alimony would be up to a judge's side,

398
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: but between my documentation that his licenses CERTs aren't expired,

399
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: plus my continual medical costs, there's a good chance of

400
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: not being obligated. Hopefully the answers most of the questions

401
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: of the background on to the updates. Hey yo, okay,

402
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: who's good context? The contexts? So Friday, I finished work

403
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: to the smell of food being cooked. My husband was

404
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: plating dinner on the table when I left my office.

405
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: He said he wanted to talk over dinner. Some people

406
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: had given me the heads up that my story was

407
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: on multiple tiktoks, and I'm grateful because it meant being

408
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: prepared for the possibility he would see it, which I

409
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: have feelings about my post being used for content on

410
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: the very platform my child and I have been neglected

411
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: for not good ones. He did see one. He asked

412
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: if it was me, and I told him the truth. Yes,

413
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: I wrote it, Yes that's how I feel, and yes

414
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: I read the comments on Reddit and know I won't

415
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: delete or change how I write about him just because

416
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: I know he can see it. I don't know how

417
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: to describe his reaction, but he said he'd spent the

418
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: last day, reflecting on just how bad could it be

419
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: for so many medical diagnosis suggestions being given as a

420
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: reason and justification. He did say that he's not ADHD.

421
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: His mom was addicted to opioids and riddlin when he

422
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: was a kid, and she tried to get numerous doctors

423
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: to have him diagnosed ADHD. She had him believing he

424
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: was so he also sought out two opinions once he

425
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: was an adult. He didn't learn about her addiction until

426
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: the mid twenties. He did seek therapy once he was

427
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: aware that his mom was trying to use him for pills.

428
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: He said he was willing to see a psychiatrist one

429
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: more time, but he doesn't think he has ADHD or

430
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: his autistic at all. He does think he might be depressed,

431
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: though if not depressed, he will ask about some of

432
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: the other medical suggestions it will ease my worry or

433
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: rule out a major problem. He did sound genuine in this,

434
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: but something he said is sticking with me. He said

435
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: it jokingly and apologize as soon as he saw the

436
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: hurt in my eyes. Everyone's saying there's something wrong in

437
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: his brain must be onto something. Since he chose to

438
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: love and marry someone medically fragile, knowing our life together

439
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: would be anything but normal, I should say like that, Oh,

440
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: you can't take that back?

441
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: Why?

442
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: He did also admit that the night he'd left the

443
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: door open the pot on ruined our child's favorite dish

444
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: in a cup. He'd drank a little bit too much

445
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: on his stream and would monitor that more closely. So.

446
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: He said the last few nights he had been filling

447
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: his wine bottle with grape juice, so it looked like

448
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: he was a jolly drinking Viking, but was actually sober.

449
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: He said he would keep doing that.

450
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: That's why he had so much grape juice he bought.

451
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: After dinner, we went out and he surprised me with

452
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: seeing the new Deadpool movie. We didn't go to our

453
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: normal theater because he looked up what each theater had

454
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: for limited edition popcorn buckets. I now have a baby

455
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: Deadpool and one that holds popcorn and a drink. We

456
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: spend the next day going over the extent of how

457
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: our family dynamic changed for the worst, how little things

458
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: have added up, how I see change as a part

459
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: of an apology. If you verbally apologize but repeatedly do

460
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: the same thing, the apology words are worthless to me,

461
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: and that he didn't recognize just how frequently he was

462
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: making the same slash similar oopsies. Sunday, we spent talking

463
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: over short and long term what needs to change immediately,

464
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: him scheduling his own doctor's appointments, timelines for expectations also

465
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: really quick. So when John and I started working together,

466
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: we would make mistakes all the time. We would overlook stuff,

467
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: like we would forget stuff. It was like we were like, oh,

468
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: our brains are just you know, forget blah blah blah blah.

469
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: But then what we did is we made systems to

470
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: make sure that we wouldn't forget stuff that would be

471
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: on top of stuff. We like built support structures around

472
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: so that we could do the things that we need

473
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: to do. And yeah, and like, I think this is

474
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: what you need to do. It's like, if your brain

475
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: isn't built to you know, not have oopsi's, you need

476
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: to create systems that allow your brain to not have oopsis.

477
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

478
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he agreed that replacing or fixing things he caused

479
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: will no longer come out of our expense account. He'll

480
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: pay it from his allowance account, which we talked to.

481
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: I did turn deposits back on, but only for a

482
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: fifty dollars per paycheck. He suggested we keep it that

483
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: way until he's paid back the cost of repairing the

484
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: garage and car from earlier this year. He said it

485
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: will take him far longer to undo the cost of

486
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: destroying the engine to my last vehicle. That he's going

487
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: to step up find ways to make it right, just

488
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: so you know, Yes, I see the red flags love bombing,

489
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: not knowing how frequently despite repeated talks, thinking verbal apologies

490
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: are the final step in apologizing and not understanding that

491
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: repeatedly doing the same thing is the same as never apologizing.

492
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: And yes, I know he will read this. Do I

493
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: actually think this is resolved and we will come out

494
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: of this as perfect married couple who stays together to

495
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: one of us, croaks, not really full offense to my

496
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: husband for now? Is it a potential resolution? Maybe? But

497
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: my husband is fully aware that there's a lot to

498
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: make up for and a lot to fix and a

499
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: tight schedule to make it happen. And that is a

500
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: lesson for our daughter later in life. Is either going

501
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: to be taking real accountability and steer a wayward ship

502
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: back to course or taking accountability is the right thing

503
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: to do, even if you don't get the result you

504
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: wanted or love alone isn't enough, and that is where

505
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: this ends.

506
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: A lot of people in the comments are divorce.

507
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Divorce, force train. I think I would do what she did.

508
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: I think what she said is tight timeline to turn

509
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: it around, see if it happens, if it doesn't happen, divorce.

510
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: I honestly think, yeah, I think I'm still on the

511
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: give him like giving him a minute to Bryan, it

512
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: doesn't divorce.

513
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 5: Lurkers vote right now. This was a big one because

514
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 5: I'm on for what's the question, divorce or not? I

515
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 5: think working it out. But he is depressed. He is depressed.

516
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 5: And also, I mean, how it's how many years has

517
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 5: it been that he's been like this?

518
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 3: I don't know, been like this. So the daughter's three

519
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: and it happened right before, so.

520
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: About that's a long time to be like it is

521
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: a long time, long time to be like this. That's

522
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: almost like you're that person.

523
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, you know, yeah.

524
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Like after a certain point, it's not just like Oopsie's

525
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: it's like you are that dude. We're fifty Oh wait

526
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait, Bug says I miss the last

527
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: paragraph tild hour. While this sucks, I suck for letting

528
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: it get this far. My husband sucks for what he

529
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: put us through life. Life owes me at dinner date

530
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: if it's gonna f me so hard. But there's a

531
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: potential path forward that doesn't involve divorce and sometimes also

532
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: involves divorce. Edit to add he finally read the post,

533
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: so please read between the lines to what I'm actually saying.

534
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: Last four words are the previous four paragraphs if it's

535
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: not obvious.

536
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: Just so you know, and yes, I know he will

537
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 2: read this. Love isn't enough and sometimes involves divorce. I

538
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: think she's divorcing him.

539
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: Damn.

540
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: Wow, that was some gravity falls that got me fired.

541
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: Oh not going to try according to her riddles, she's divorcing.

542
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

543
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: That was a twist that I was like, oh, yeah,

544
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: I could see what she would do.

545
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: No, but there is another story.

546
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: You know.

547
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: What scares me? Just like people changing. Yeah, Like imagine

548
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: you marry someone and then they've changed and they just

549
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: become a different person.

550
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why Alex that he won't there was someone

551
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: forever because it's like you change.

552
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: We had a conversation about that.

553
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh really Yeah, Yeah, Alex has some interesting opinions on

554
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: monogamy and marriage and relationships. Yeah. I mean, I think

555
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: we're built for like ten year relationships to twenty relationships

556
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: as humans.

557
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it depends on the person in

558
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: the relationship.

559
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: I think intentionality. It's all about intention Yeah, it's all

560
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: about pouring into the cup.

561
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it can work, but it's just so

562
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: often doesn't. It's so scary.

563
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: Also, I think that this is hilarious that she made

564
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: it a riddle, because I don't know if he's going

565
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 3: to be able to solve it.

566
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: All right. Well, to be fair, we had a trouble.

567
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but imagine him that he's had a trouble with everything.

568
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark, but let's not have trouble with this next story. Woo.

569
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: My boyfriend tried to secretly cheat on me with his ex,

570
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: but his ex wasn't on board.

571
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: That's all. Oh, that's so fair.

572
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: It's so embarrassing.

573
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh.

574
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,959

Speaker 2: months when his Luke mailed twenty nine, Lise is up.

Speaker 2: We've been to loads of events together weddings, engagement parties, birthdays,

578
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: even his grandparents wedding anniversary party. By the way, this

579
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: comes from realistic Hyena fifty six ninety five on the

580
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: arslash Okay storytime sub reddit. So we were due to

581
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: attend his friend's wedding in a neighboring country when a

582
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: few weeks before he told me he didn't want to go.

583
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 2: It was just as I was booking my flights. I

584
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: asked why, and he said I would be bored. I

585
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: know his friend grew well, so it's not like I

586
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't know anyone anyway. Despite many heated discussions, he was adamant.

587
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: This left a bad taste in my mouth, and I

588
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: felt something was off. Those seven of my friends and

589
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: I decided to go for a break at the beach

590
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: while he was gone, and then extend it to a

591
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: full week. My friend Gems parents at a house at

592
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: the beach less than two hours drive away, and the

593
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: weather was supposed to be good, so we were excited.

594
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: We were leaving on Wednesday and due back the following

595
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning early and going straight into work. I didn't

596
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: even bother telling my boyfriend. Honestly, it felt like he

597
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: wouldn't care, and I was on the bak of breaking

598
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: up with him WHOA, but decided to enjoy the beach

599
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: break first. I get a call from Anna female twenty six,

600
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: out of the blue. Anna was the girlfriend of my

601
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: boyfriend's best friend, Sam twenty nine. Hmmm, we had been

602
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: due to travel with them. She overheard Luke talking to Sam.

603
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: It was asking if he really wasn't going to bring

604
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: me to the wedding. Luke said yes, because his ex,

605
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: Lucy late twenties I think, had finally rsvp'ed she was

606
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: going and had really delayed. He texted Luke and told

607
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: him she couldn't wait to see him again and had

608
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: a surprise for him.

609
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Well kind of surprise.

610
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: They had broken up three years ago and she lived

611
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: abroad and they kept in touch a little. As far

612
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: as I know. Luke was convinced the surprise was spicy sleep,

613
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: as this had been some kind of running joke when

614
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: they had dated. Anyway, he didn't want me there, messing

615
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: up his chance of having spicy sleep with Lucy, your

616
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: girlfriend break up, her up break up, He said it

617
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: was a once off, but he had to do it. Well,

618
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: that was enough for me. I knew I would be

619
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: dumping him, but didn't want a week of him texting

620
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: or harassing me to forgive him while I was at

621
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: the beach, so I held off until we got back.

622
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: Ope.

623
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: He's like, nothing is getting in the way of my

624
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: beach plans.

625
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Dude, Beach plans make you forget about all other things life. Yes,

626
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: sand off the shore and the sea washes away all

627
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: your grief worries.

628
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: On the Tuesday, Luke texted and said he was sleeping

629
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: over at mine until Thursday, as he would be leaving

630
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: early Friday morning and would be gone until Sunday. He

631
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: didn't ask, just told me. I replied that he couldn't

632
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: as I was leaving very early on Wednesday morning for

633
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: a week's vacation and would see him next week. Told

634
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: him not to worry about keeping in touch because I

635
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: was planning to be phone free on my vacation as

636
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: much as.

637
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: Possible, and boyfriend free. Bye bye, bye bye.

638
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: He asked why I hadn't told him I was going

639
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: on vacation, and I just said I thought I had.

640
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: He wanted to know who I was going with, and

641
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: a hundred other questions. I told him we would talk

642
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: when I got back that I was busy packing into

643
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: enjoy the wedding and I hoped it was full of

644
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: surprises for him. He didn't reply.

645
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 6: Dude, dam.

646
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: She is ice cold.

647
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: Sweathed the juice out of this.

648
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: We had a fantastic vacation whoo beach day. The rain

649
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: held off and we stayed on the beach all day

650
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: and hit nightclubs and local bars and restaurants at night.

651
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: I didn't post on social media, but was certainly tagged

652
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: in a lot of picks. He texted me a few

653
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: times Thursday and Friday, but just general flight leaving now

654
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: and I got here, okay stuff. But on Saturday, the

655
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: day of the wedding, he really texted and called a lot.

656
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: The text were all how he missed me and made

657
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: a mistake not bringing me. I didn't reply and didn't

658
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: answer any calls. Same on Sunday. Then he got home

659
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday night and wanted to join us at the beach.

660
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: I told him no, he would just be bored.

661
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: Damn. She does not give a hoot.

662
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, just turning everything on him.

663
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: Sunday night, Anna rang me and couldn't stop laughing. His

664
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: ex Lucy turned up to the restaurant Friday to the

665
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: group dinner, and her surprise was that she was seven

666
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: months pregnant with her new husband's baby and her shiny

667
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: new husband was with her.

668
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: Get freaking wrecked, suck it sad in a way?

669
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: OKAYX was the surprise?

670
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: Say with you, Spicy sleep with you?

671
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: Lucy played a cruel but hilarious prank on him, but

672
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: it also ended our relationship. So I was grateful to

673
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: Lucy for showing me who he really was. You know

674
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: what else, I'm grateful for what You can join us

675
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: live on YouTube out three pm Pacific centertime. Just how

676
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: about profest profile. Luke arrived to mine Wednesday after I

677
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: got back and was love bombing me, telling me how

678
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: much he missed me and apologizing again. At that point,

679
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: I told him I knew why he didn't bring me

680
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: and that his surprise wasn't spicy sleep but a pregnant

681
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: ex and her husband. So I told him it was over.

682
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: He planned to cheat, even if he didn't get the

683
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: chance to. I was laughing at how lo he pranked him,

684
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: but honestly I was still hurting on the inside. He

685
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: tried to get me to change my mind. Because he

686
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: hadn't actually cheated, but I wouldn't much. Am I the

687
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: a hole for dumping him even though he didn't actually cheat?

688
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: You know, to be dumped in the best possible way,

689
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: which is what you did.

690
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: What you did?

691
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: How are you? Sounds like a little little poopy head,

692
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: poopy head, but you know who's not poopy heads? You

00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: give like a tour and like this is your direct neighborhood,

705
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: what would you see? What would you find?

706
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 6: Oh man, we have some interesting houses. We have one

707
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 6: that has a mosaic museum inside of it really not

708
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 6: even jokes. Yeah, it's like legally a museum, but also

709
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 6: a house. Or something right right right around the Is

710
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 6: it like around the corner from your place or.

711
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's walking distance.

712
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 6: In my little back neighborhood area, we have a house

713
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 6: with like we thought for sure that it was like

714
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 6: one hundred percent abandon there's like a car with like

715
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 6: ten years of dust on it, so we thought it

716
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 6: was like one hundred percent of band. But then out

717
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 6: of nowhere they put up like really crappy like Christmas

718
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 6: lights on this like giant overgrown tree in front of

719
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 6: their house.

720
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: So we're like, like, I guess someone lives there and

721
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: they're in the Christmas spirit.

722
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: Yes they are.

723
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 6: And then there's there's someone who literally has like the

724
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 6: plants straight out if you just copy and pasted like

00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 6: like filed around.

732
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: Your neighborhood sounds super super interesting. This story is a

733
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: story about a neighborhood that is maybe not as inviting

734
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: as you are.

735
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 4: It's not as interesting.

736
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: Okay, am I the a hole for turning in a

737
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: school project that shows that I live in a crap

738
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: hole neighborhood where everyone sucks. Hmmm. I'm a high school

739
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: student in a Spanish class and we had an assignment

740
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: to make a video tour of our place. It had

741
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: to be in Spanish and had to be conversational, like

742
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: you were showing it around to a friend, like, hey,

743
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: look at this plan. Look at this mosaic. That's pretty cool.

744
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 4: Don't asta l planto?

745
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, John is very u. I Spanish speak

746
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: these Spanish speech yo a blow espaniel or pool espanol.

747
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: How correct?

748
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: Okay? I decided to just walk around my street and

749
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: make a tour of that because my family wasn't going

750
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: anywhere else. So this is what I fink. A neighbor's

751
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: house when I walked by and they were having a

752
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: screaming fight like usual, and I said, here are their neighbors.

753
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: They are very angry. They like to yell in the morning, afternoon,

754
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: and night. Buenosdes. The next neighbor's house, Joe and Tammy

755
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: live here. They are very nice and have three dogs.

756
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: At that moment, someone drives by and cat calls me profanely. Hey,

757
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: no one thots something like that would probably worse, as

758
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I joke, I yelled back as stupid old perro ha,

759
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: which means stupid dog. Then he slammed his brakes and

760
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: yelled something racist about me being Mexican, before speeding off.

761
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: I said to the camera, this man is very stupid.

762
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: He is a man, but acts like a dog. Also,

763
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm white, but I think this idiot assumed I was

764
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: a Hispanic because I was speaking Spanish. I also introduced

765
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: ten other mundane things like flowers, et cetera. I cut

766
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: out the long sequences of me walking, but I left

767
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: in everything else. My teacher had a rubric of the

768
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: types of descriptions and numbers of things you needed, and

769
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: taking any out would lose me points. It was too

770
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: dark out to film anymore, so I stopped. The second

771
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: part of the assignment was to upload the video on

772
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: the school website and post comments back and forth, responding

773
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: to several of your classmates videos. One of my friends

774
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: from class recognized the racist guy as someone who volunteers

775
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: with the middle school soccer team. So the guy that

776
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: was cat calling is teaching kids how to play soccer.

777
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: What so she texted me like, hah, should I say something?

778
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: And I said sure, so she posted in Spanish in

779
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: the car is mister Jones who coaches the children. I

780
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: learned from your video that he hates women and is racist.

781
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: I replied to say, does he teach the girls or

782
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: the boys, and she replied back both. I replied back,

783
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: that is terror. I love how all these sentences are

784
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: super simple, but they're so savage. A guy in my

785
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: class made a comment like the man yelling at his

786
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: family is a police officer. He is always a very

787
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: angry man. I replied back to say, that is scary.

788
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: The next day at school, my teacher wanted to talk

789
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: to me alone. She told me my video was inappropriate

790
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't have filmed the neighbors or the coach.

791
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: I said that this assignment was literally to walk around

792
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: a place you're familiar with and react like you're having

793
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: a conversation with a friend, and that is literally how

794
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: it goes when I walk around my house with my friends.

795
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: My teacher said I was being a belligerent on purpose,

796
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: and I should have known that this stuff has to

797
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: be dealt with delicately. I said, I just don't agree,

798
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: it's just life, and there's no point of pretending that

799
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: it's not happening.

800
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 6: Facts, Opie, I like OPI is literally dropping these like

801
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 6: philosophical gems.

802
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 4: Just yeah, nonchalantly.

803
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: She said she'd taken down the video and it was

804
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: the sort of thing that should be brought to the

805
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: authorities instead of posted for the whole class. I said,

806
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even know the guy in the car. And

807
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: who was I going to call about the cop? The cops?

808
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: Who police is the police? I have a meeting with

809
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: the principal coming up tomorrow. Am I the a hole

810
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: for posting a video for Spanish class?

811
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 4: First off, man, can we have a little humor? Yeah?

812
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: Can we have a little comedy? Man?

813
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: Like I honestly, watching that video, I would have cracked up.

814
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: I would have thought it was hilarious. Yeah, she did

815
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: do the assignment that she did. She understood the assignment,

816
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: Yes she did. But there's an update, John Oh, I

817
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: had a meeting this morning and I think it went well.

818
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: I have a study hall now, so I have a

819
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: little more time to write an update. So last night

820
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I did a bunch of prep before the meeting. I

821
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: emailed the video to the elementary school principal, guidance counselor,

822
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: and a few parents I know with kids on the

823
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: sports team to say their coach had yelled sexually explicit

824
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: and hateful things at me. A student in the school system.

825
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to get out ahead and make sure the

826
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: video was out there before the school might pressure me

827
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: to delete it. Then I backed up the video to

828
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: multiple places. Then I asked a teacher I trust to

829
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: sit in on this meeting and have it be recorded

830
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: and sent to all participants afterwards. We scheduled it for

831
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: just before the school day started on zoom so I

832
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't miss any class. And then finally I decided to

833
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: write up a list of things I'd want discussed in

834
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: the meeting and shared it with my favorite teacher in

835
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: advance so she could help me address the questions.

836
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 4: Bro shout out to Opie.

837
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: Opie came really prepared, gosh darn and for the actual meeting,

838
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: I decided I'd just go into it acting as if

839
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: they would obviously do the right thing and ask for help.

840
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: I was hoping having a teacher on my side and

841
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: the meeting on video would pressure them to help. I

842
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: thought if I approached it from a well, obviously you're

843
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: going to take this seriously perspective, and had it on video,

844
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: it would put them in a tough spot to have

845
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: to contradict me. So when I called in, everyone said

846
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: good morning, and the principal asked if I knew why

847
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: I had been called in this morning. I just started

848
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: out by saying, yes, I assume it's about the kid's coach.

849
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for calling me to this meeting

850
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: this morning. I really appreciate how proactive you are about

851
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: addressing the sexual harassment from a staff member. I understand

852
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: this is a mandated reporting state, and I wanted to

853
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: ask if there's any information you will need to add to.

854
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: Your report, that is how it's done.

855
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: And the principle seemed kind of caught out and said

856
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: a report had not yet been filed. I said, well,

857
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: as I understand it, there is a forty eight hour

858
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: timeframe to file report. I understand making you aware of

859
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: this right before the weekend might have complicated things. Perhaps

860
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: there was a miscommunication about the severity of the events.

861
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: But I was approaching a car sexually harassed and threatened

862
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: by a man who works with other miners in the

863
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: public school system. As soon as I said all that,

864
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: the meeting tone really changed. The meeting also had a

865
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: school guidance counselor on it, and I could tell she

866
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: understood how serious what I was saying was, especially because

867
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: I was politely calling out that they were already past

868
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: the legal deadline and that they should have filed the

869
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: report already. She actually took over and the principal didn't

870
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: participate that much. I also tried to smooth things over

871
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: somewhat by saying I was sorry I brought this to

872
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: their attention in a school project instead of asking for

873
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: a meeting with the principal directly, I should have reached

874
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: out for help.

875
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 4: So that's over.

876
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of freaking out how big of a

877
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: deal it turned out to be. Also, I want to

878
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: say thanks to everyone who had suggestions about how to

879
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: approach this, like having an adult to back me up,

880
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: getting the meeting on record, and knowing about the mandatory reporting.

881
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 6: OPI is literally a hero, like OPI is a freaking lawyer,

882
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 6: bro a lawyer, like just bowling out justice. Incredible wow

883
