11
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: angry I'm seeing red. Dear Stephen Shirley. I begin this

12
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: letter by saying, I hate my husband of twelve years.

13
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: I feel as though he has made a fool of me,

14
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: and I feel stupid. The thought of him makes me

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: sick to my stomach. When he says I love you,

16
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I want to say, kiss my butt. I'm at the

17
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: point in which I don't even care to confront him

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: for what reason? Another stupid lie. Okay, you can tell

19
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: me that he lies to me because I am the

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: one he doesn't want to hurt. But when he lies.

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: At which point does a man realize that he is

22
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: hurting me? He's still hurting me at this moment. It

23
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: is not Uh do I leave him? But how do

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: I lead? And this is why I am writing you.

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: I know getting even is not the right choice, but

26
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: it would make me feel better. I would like your opinion.

27
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Here's what I came up with so far. Set him up.

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: I know he is meeting a woman in person that

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: he meets online. He doesn't even know one of the

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: women he's talking to is me. Do I talk to

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: him first and him what I am lacking that makes

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: him look elsewhere? Do I just get my ducks in

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: a row and walk by the way. I would rather

34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: put a knife in a print of his profile and

35
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: put it over his side of the bed while he

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: is sleeping. What do you think? Uh? I say, get

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: some billboards. That's what we were talking about earlier. Anyway,

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: the latest trend right anyway, if you got an extra

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: two d and fifty dollars laying around. But my favorite

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: line in this whole letter is when he says I

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: love you. I want to say, kiss my butt. Wow.

42
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: That says a lot about your relationship. You're that angry.

43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: You're you're very very angry and emotional. You want to

44
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: get him back, you want revenge, you want to feel better,

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: you said. But I gotta ask you, really, is it

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: worth all of that? Is he worth this? Do you

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: still love this man? Do you still want a relationship

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: with him? Can he be trusted? Those are the kinds

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: of questions you need to be asking yourself once you

50
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: calm down. And I kept that you're upset right now.

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I understand in this, Uh, I kind of think you

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: are still feeling him because you asked the question do

53
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: you talk to him first? And do you you want

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: to ask him? What are you liking and all of that.

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: So if you if there's still some feelings there that

56
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: you have for this man, go ahead and talk to him,

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: but you gotta ask yourself as he worth all of

58
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: this first? Steve Man, Uh, thank you, Shirley, nice response,

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: all that, YadA YadA YadA. He go to deal. But

60
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I ain't got nothing to say to this. Won't my

61
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: notes is all for the man? Oh? First of all,

62
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: when a woman in a letter opens up by snopenes,

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: let me begin this letter by saying, I hate my hoop,

Speaker 1: my aunt. He has no the hell he's been living.

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,000

66
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: I love you, I want to say, kiss my boy.

67
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,720

00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: a woman hates you, I can assure you, but it's

71
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: not the word she's using. I hate my husband. When

72
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,159
