Speaker 1: I hid my girlfriend's dead husband's ring. Now she wants space.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: Why would she ever want that?

Speaker 2: that was said?

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a quote. That's a famous quote

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: from what I understand. It took her some time to heal. Understandably,

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: she met a few other people for dates before me,

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: but I'm the only one she's connected with over time.

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: Part of her healing has been a form of downsizing.

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: She still has photos with him online and a lot

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: of physical photo albums, but the only major thing on

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: display are a stuffed animal he got her, which sits

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: on her headboard and display on her fireplace mantle, one

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: of those digital photo frames of photos, a threefold frame

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: with a photo from his proposal hidden photographer, a photo

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: from their engagement shoot, and a wedding photo his ashes,

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: their wedding rings, and his engagement.

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: On the mantle on the mantle. And how long has

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: she been married? Now?

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: It's been two years since he passed, been two years

47
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: since she passed. This is their dating They've been dating

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: for under eyear. Oh that's I think that's fair mine. Yeah,

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: she still has her engagement ring and wears it on

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a chain. Donnas always loved the Harvest Moon series and

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: has always wanted her engagement ring to incorporate a blue feather,

52
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: which is what you use to propose in the game.

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: Her late husband customize a beautiful ring with the sapphire

54
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: feather on it, and his engagement ring also had one.

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: I was mostly fine with her wearing it until I

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: started attending work related events with her. Her job is

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: somewhat political and has a lot of networking events.

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I see you, I see you. She's gonna be

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: talking about her late husband more than her current boyfriend.

60
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Or they're gonna think that she's married.

61
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: Is she wearing Oh, she's wearing her webs.

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Oh, it's on, she's wearing on a band.

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: But you don't think someone's married when they're wearing a

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: ring or on.

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: The Maybe that's I'm just putting ICUs.

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: I have you wait, wait really quick, I hold the phone.

67
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: When someone wears a ring on a necklace, are you thinking, oh,

68
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: they could be married? No, okay, I'm not.

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Doesn't Christian wear a ring up and he's not married?

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Her friends know why the ring is important and mine

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: learned over time, but almost every networking event someone asks

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: about it, and she always tells them it was the

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: engagement ring from her late husband. It made me uneasy

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: to hear it so often, but I was fine until

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I don't mind people knowing she was married before,

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: but I guess every time people ask her about it,

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: it made me feel like I was her second choice.

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I asked her to stop wearing it. Seeing it and

79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: hearing about it was starting to get to me.

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: I can understand being uncomfortable with that, Like I feel

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: like if I was maybe like I don't even know

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: how I would feel, honestly, but I could understand being

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: like feeling some sort of way. But you can never

84
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: I can't ask that. You either have to like become

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: okay with.

86
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: It or if you're not with that.

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: You can't be like, yeah, like can you get rid

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: of that guy?

89
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Uh no, I because it's been two years. Two

90
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: years is not that much time.

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Okay, says controversial take. Late husband is more important than

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: current boyfriend in my opinion. Yeah, yeah, she was remarried,

93
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: that's different. But a boyfriend is not the same as

94
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: a late husband.

95
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: They've been dating for under a year, he'd I don't

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: think he has a right to make those demands.

97
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: I completely agree he.

98
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: Has a right to not, you know, uh not be

99
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: okay with it and want a lead relationship.

100
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can, he can leave, I just but I

101
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: do think that uh, I do think it's probably it's

102
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: an uncomfortable thing to be like committed to a person

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: and them talking about like another partner, even if that

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: partner passed away. Kimberly says it's valid, but it's a

105
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: him project.

106
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, I think if he like, he's allowed

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: to not be able to deal with that.

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 2: Question for Yousefhia slightly toes Honestly, if she's still wearing

109
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: it all the time, he's not ready to date.

110
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe there is a chance she's not ready

111
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: to date. But is that true? Think it's a separate

112
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: Is she grieved enough, given herself enough to Two years

114
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: is a a long amount of time. How long were

115
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: they together before he died?

116
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: That's a good question, and never.

117
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: Together for ten years, there's only been two.

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: But I think it's a separate issue from him.

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: No, it is, but I guess like that that's a question.

120
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's an indicator of her. I

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: would say, no, it's not an indicator of her, of

122
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: her readiness. The issue is like, the thing that makes

123
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: him uncomfortable is actually not her wearing it, it's her

124
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: talking about it when he's present.

125
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: So it's like, maybe, yeah, my first choice is dead,

126
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: but I got this guy.

127
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, got back up.

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: I was probably thinking that, Yeah, it was a constant

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 4: reminder that in her ideal life he would still be

130
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: here and she wouldn't even know me.

131
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: We compromised she would still wear it out except for

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: events where people didn't know the story and were likely to.

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: Ask okay, it's a fair compromise.

134
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Kim Kwan says, I disagree. She can be

135
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: ready to date and still not ready to not have

136
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the ring on her.

137
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree with that. I agree with that.

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: Fast forward to last week. We had an event with

139
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: a blue color scheme and she had a beautiful blue dress.

140
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Normally she wears a bracelet, ear rings, and necklace, but

141
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: this time she had a bracelet and just a bracelet

142
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: and earrings, So I asked why before we left, she

143
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: didn't have any other necklaces that went with the earrings,

144
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: so I told her to wear the engagement one if

145
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: she wanted. Sure enough, someone not only asked about the ring,

146
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: but continued the conversation, whereas normally the subject changes once

147
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: they find out her husband passed away. The person asked

148
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: what kind of ring Dawn would want if she remarried.

149
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Whoa weird question, asked somebody you don't know.

150
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a it is a pretty deep question.

151
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: That's a pretty deep question to ask someone.

152
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: You don't know.

153
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And she said she wasn't sure whatever I thought

154
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: suited her as long as the band was silver. I

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: felt my stomach drop. It hurt to know her old

156
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: ring had such a special meaning and was something she

157
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: always wanted, but now it didn't matter to her at all.

158
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: Well, maybe she just didn't want to tell someone to random.

159
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe she was like, ah, this is a really

160
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: personal question. I'm not going to get into it with

161
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: someone I don't know.

162
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think it is.

163
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: This scenario where that is I wouldn't I don't know.

164
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, as you guys know, I'm an open book.

165
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: If someone asked me the deepest, darkest question, I would

166
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: probably just say, hey, it but that's not everyone that's

167
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: not everyone, and so I would I would probably venture

168
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: to say that she's just not wanting to talk about it.

169
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just starting to get like that, what you

170
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: just never asked me a question? I'll answer it.

171
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dude, I I I actually prefer living life

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: with uh with like all of my information on my sleeve.

173
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: Like this morning, I like really opened up.

174
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh god, we didn't want him to know, dud I

175
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: was eating. I was eating.

176
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: I was eating literally made me gag this morning.

177
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: I threw out my food.

178
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: God.

179
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: The next morning, I confronted her and she pulled me

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: in the new game. In the newer games, there's a

181
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: special flower to propose, and I could incorporate that, but

182
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: I felt like she was appeasing me.

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: But really quick, why are they It's on you for first. First,

184
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: don't over over index on this random conversation with a stranger. Yeah. Two,

185
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: it's on you to find something meaningful that you can

186
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: like put into jewelry. It's not onlike I don't.

187
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: I also don't think that the first guy. It didn't

188
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: read as if she was saying, oh, I want this

189
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: as my ring. He thought about what she liked as

190
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: a person and then made her a very meaningful ring exactly.

191
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: You know, so I think he's I think he's he's

192
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: not thinking about it, right.

193
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: And also he can't get mad about her wearing the

194
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: ring because he said that was okay exactly, he said, oh,

195
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: you should wear the ring. He told her to wear

196
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: the ring.

197
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well he can still like have feelings around it,

198
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: but he like he can't blame her for anything.

199
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

200
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn, at the end of this, we need a

201
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: golden rule for this situation.

202
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: A golden rule for wearing dating for yeah, dating after

203
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: your partner dies. Yeah. Yeah.

204
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what came over me, but when Don

205
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: was in the shower that afternoon, I took the ring

206
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: from the sink. No, she's normally very careful with it,

207
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: keeping it in the box, on the mantle when she

208
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: wasn't when she isn't wearing it, and on the edge

209
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: of the sink where she when she showers. She always

210
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: keeps the plug in the sink in case her cat

211
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: knocks it into the thak.

212
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: Oh God, I see you, I see you.

213
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: The door had been open about halfway and the shower's foggy.

214
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm certain she didn't see me reach in or unplucked.

215
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: No, you were doing okay up until this point. This

216
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: is so bad. You saw this. This is a relationship

217
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: ender right here, This is a relationship ender.

218
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: After she dried off, she went to grab the chain

219
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: and immediately freaked out. I feigned helping her look for

220
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: it and told her I would probably turn up. You

221
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: know what, this guy's not like you, Sam, because when

222
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: I thought that I dropped my necklace in the sink,

223
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: Stam helped me, and he spent like, I don't know,

224
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes trying to get that out of the sink,

225
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: and then he realized it was on the floor.

226
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: I did find it. I was trying to make a

227
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: makeshift hook.

228
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

229
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: Well but this guy, but little did you know I

230
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: put it in the sink to get with Ah.

231
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: It wasn't even the sink though, I know. Oh okay.

232
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: The next day, before work all she looked exhausted and

233
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: told me she got up early to look for it.

234
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: But she was a mess, and I'm not sure she slept.

235
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: We both went to work. When I got home, the

236
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: place was spotless and she was crying. She came home

237
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: from work stick. She does have an anxiety disorder, and

238
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: in retrospect, probably felt physically ill at work, lipped the

239
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: place upside down, cleaning, vacuuming and then going through the

240
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: container and even snaking the drain. My intention was to

241
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: give her the chain back that night and pretend I

242
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: found it somewhere, in hopes it would get her to

243
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: leave the ring on the mantle. But there was no

244
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: way I could pretend it was anywhere, not the way

245
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: she searched. So I took it out of my wallet

246
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: and fessed up. She was inconsolable and told me to

247
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: go home. I tried texting and and she told me

248
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: she needed space.

249
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: Dude, you're done.

250
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: You're done. They were supposed to move in together.

251
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: You're so done.

252
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: You're stupid. Also, you're dumb, and you're done.

253
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: You're so done. At least it seems like he knows

254
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: what he did is bad.

255
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Wow, at least he feels guilty.

256
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: At least he feels guilty. Psycho so bad, says he

257
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: is yucky, yucky. Not only did he pray her, but

258
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: he lied to her and prayed on her disorder. Yeah yeah.

259
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: Also, not only did he just take it and make

260
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: her think she lost it, but he unplugged the drain,

261
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: so it looked like she dropped down the drain, so

262
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: she had to snake the drain, which and then she

263
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: had Yeah truly, just.

264
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: Dude, Yeah, I think you're you're you're cooked, You're cooked, cooked, cooked.

265
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Last weekend, I went to a barbecue cooked at our friends,

266
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: my friends originally well not anymore, and she was supposed

267
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: to attend with me. She did text me that morning

268
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: and told me to tell people I was sick, but

269
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: they noticed my demeanor eventually and I told them the story.

270
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Results were mixed. I'd say about half our friends took

271
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: her side fairly quickly.

272
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: I wonder, why, how would you how would anyone take

273
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: your side? I don't understand.

274
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Just yeah. One guy did say I set a boundary

275
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: and she should have known that I didn't that I

276
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: didn't really mean it when I said she could wear it.

277
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 2: Okay, dude, I hate that you're an idiot.

278
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Your friend sucks too.

279
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Sorry, I shouldn't be so mean, but it's like, but

280
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: nobody is true, but it's just it's you literally said

281
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: she could you she was not going to wear it

282
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: out of respect for a conversation that you had earlier,

283
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: that you both agreed that okay, maybe you don't wear

284
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: it as much and then you're like, you know what,

285
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: you can. I hate wear it. I hate I hate

286
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: when people are like, oh, I told you one thing,

287
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: but you should have known that I met the other thing.

288
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: People aren't mind readers.

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 2: People aren't mine.

290
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: They're not mind readers.

291
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: People aren't mind readers. If you want something in a relationship,

292
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: in a rather it be a friendship or romantic plotonic

293
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: or romantic, communicate, communicate and don't expect someone to know

294
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: what you want.

295
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: Expectations without communication leads to disappointment, and a second friend agreed,

296
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: but said that it wasn't her fault someone asked about it.

297
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: A third friend also agreed with the other two, but

298
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: his girlfriend pointed out that I expressed that it was

299
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: okay and that if I didn't mean it, I shouldn't

300
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: have said it. Yes, exactly. The rest of the group

301
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: is kind of on the fence, saying me hiding it

302
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: was going too far and that I could have lost it.

303
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: By the way, you can join us live on YouTube

304
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: and not lose us every weekday at three pm Pacific

305
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Center time, just taper profile. The general consensus is that

306
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I should have established the boundary after the event, but

307
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: that hiding it was going too far. I see what

308
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: they mean, but still think that I made a good point.

309
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: What you did not?

310
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: What point did you make?

311
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: You made zero points? She you You literally came to a

312
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: perfect conclusion and then you.

313
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Just just demolished it, demolished it. At any point the

314
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: chain could break, be stolen on vacation, accidentally, come unclassed,

315
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: et cetera. And if that ring was so important, it

316
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: should stay home with the others. That was not the

317
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: point that you were trying to make. You freaking liar.

318
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: You freaking liar, You self important liar. I'm so angry.

319
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: He's like, Oh, I was just trying to prove that

320
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: you can lose it, and like you have to take

321
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: care of it. That's not what you were trying to prove.

322
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: No, it was you were was this feels so personal?

323
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: Were so jealousy? Yeah, and that is what is.

324
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: Like he's lying. He told us the whole story and

325
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: then is now trying to retcon and lie to the reader.

326
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's like you already on yourself in the beginning. Yeah,

327
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: Like why are you trying to walk back and you

328
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: can't walk back. We know who you are, oh man,

329
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: Man's getting rod.

330
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: I also want to note that I don't mind the

331
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: small Mantle tribute, and we discussed it in the past

332
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: that it can stay up when I move in. It's

333
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: not the memories I don't like. It's this specific ring

334
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: when she wears it. The ring didn't get lost, eaten

335
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: by the cat, or damaged. And I think my point

336
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: was made. So am I the a hole here?

337
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, you're the a hole. You were doing okay

338
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: until you hit it. Everything before, you know, like, there

339
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: were some things that were up to question. But as

340
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: soon as you took the ring a hole, Yeah, all

341
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: the way a hole. And in terms of what you

342
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: can do now, let her break up with you, let

343
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: her go, oh man. That was That was infuriating. But

344
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: you know what is less infuriating the fact we have

345
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: another story. I had another story, Missy says unreliable narrator. Indeed, indubitably,

346
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: my boyfriend never deleted tender, but he swears he isn't cheating. Preface.

347
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: My boyfriend I met on Tender and he has three

348
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: kids from a previous relationship. We have been in relationship

349
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: for almost two years and have one baby together.

350
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: Wow, such a concerning preface.

351
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: Also, this comes from Flimsy Struggle six seven two six

352
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: on the r slash Okay Storytime Summer. In it, so,

353
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: I was feeling as if my boyfriend was hiding something

354
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: in the shadows. He goes to the gym, work and

355
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: work meetings, he only comes home later and expected after work.

356
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: I blame bad time estimation skills for this, or maybe.

357
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: It's cheating eating.

358
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: So it's not like he is staying out overnight or anything,

359
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: but he was always hiding his phone when I was around, beating, eating,

360
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: angling it away from me, cheating, especially when he was

361
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: texting eating In the middle of July, I asked him

362
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 2: to join a tracking app. Oh, it's a little cute

363
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: thing we can do together.

364
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: Cute Little Life three sixty.

365
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: He refused, saying his ex used to do that and

366
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: it led to an unhealthy relationship, or maybe you were

367
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: exposed for che day.

368
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I I want everyone to give me

369
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: their location.

370
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: I am honestly the same.

371
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: I just I don't think that's weird. I take pride, yeah,

372
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: and like having all of my friends one time.

373
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 2: This is this is a small pep energy of me.

374
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: But one time I was in an in and out

375
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: with this girl and she was like, you know how

376
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: many people I have on find my friends? I have eighteen?

377
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: And then she like looked at my phone, You're like,

378
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: oh wow, you only have six. And I'm like, I'm

379
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: gonna change this right now. So I literally made like

380
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: thirty calls to all my friends around the world and uh,

381
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 2: and then got like, I think like thirty.

382
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Uh way, how many I have?

383
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: Who's your furthest friend away Spain?

384
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: John?

385
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: I said it for how is it John? M?

386
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's John. Uh. And then after John,

387
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: it's my friends in New York five, six, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

388
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: got thirteen oh fourteen.

389
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: So is your thoughts about relationships sharing location?

390
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: What the frame?

391
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: What? One? Two, three?

392
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 3: I'm okay with a handful like you guys, but that's

393
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: kind of pushing it too.

394
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: I have thirty.

395
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: How often do you look at my location, dors?

396
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: I only look at it.

397
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: I only look at what if I'm looking for you?

398
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

399
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

400
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: The thing is that I don't often, like just randomly,

401
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I don't randomly check on my

402
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: like where people are all the time.

403
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: I do when Sam goes on date and.

404
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: I tracked me down when I was on a date

405
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: and and said, hey boy, what no.

406
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: I just it's so, it's just great. I love it.

407
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: What we're gonna say about.

408
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 2: Him, Well, look what Cam's friends would do. They have

409
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: his location and Cam would be at a bar and

410
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 2: then he would just have friends roll up.

411
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: That's so fun.

412
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: It was.

413
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: I think it's so fun snapchat.

414
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's like, Oh I guess, so I see, yeah,

415
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: but you don't. You can't like, but you can't direction anyways.

416
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 2: And it was a story, get back to this story.

417
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: So I start to wonder if he still has Tinder.

418
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: So I redownloaded it, and my account is still active

419
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: and so is his.

420
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: Hey, why is your account stocked?

421
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: I guess because you redowloaded it. Okay, I screenshot him

422
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: to see if there's any changes down the road. So

423
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: one morning before he went to work, I asked him,

424
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: can I see your phone? Yes? Why? However, he got

425
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: it out and I saw him delete a group of messages.

426
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: I asked him what messages he deleted. He repeatedly denied

427
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: there being any deleted messages for like an hour while

428
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: I repeated the same sentence let me see the deleted message.

429
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: All in all, he doesn't let me touch his phone. However,

430
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: he showed me all his messages quickly and was very

431
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: willing to show me texts from his ex who has

432
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: three kids. It's probably different people, probably different people.

433
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: Probably different people.

434
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is very suspicious. That is how I knew

435
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: I had nothing to worry about on that front. So

436
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: at least you don't know he's cheating with his AX.

437
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: But what about all the tender girls? I say, I

438
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: needed to be more open and honest, and he is,

439
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: like I am. I run the fact that he pulled

440
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: seventeen thousand dollars out of his four to one K

441
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: and didn't tell me until two days later.

442
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: Whoa over?

443
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: That is neither here nor there. It seems like here

444
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: and show me the deleted messages. He turns it on

445
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 2: me and says, usually the one accusing is the one cheating.

446
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: I said he could look at my phone anytime and

447
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: I won't delete anything. He ended up offering to take

448
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: the day off work as it was getting later in

449
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: the morning. I said, you are holding yourself up and

450
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: that he can make that decision himself if he just

451
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 2: shows me what he is hiding. I will go back

452
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: to bed. I go to the bathroom and get some room.

453
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: As I'm tearing up at this point, imagining what he

454
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: could be so protective over. He came and said he

455
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: was leaving for work, and I just said okay. Three

456
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: to four hours later, I texted them, whose messages did

457
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: you delete? You know something is up. He finally said,

458
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: there's this girl I talked two years ago. I don't

459
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: have her on any social media, but she got my

460
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: number somehow and first said hope all is well, and

461
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: I left it alone and she said hey. I replied

462
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: with how are you that? She said nothing, just working,

463
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: and I left it alone there, how are you? Nothing

464
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: has been between us for years, and all of a

465
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: sudden she reached out, you're telling me, yeah, what was this?

466
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: Is the conversation you were deleting and not wanting to share,

467
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: because if you shared that conversation, it would absolve.

468
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: It would have absolve you.

469
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: The truth, Well set you free.

470
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: Why are you so guilty?

471
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: Some duty says, why she wasting her time? Broom Josupmadola

472
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: Quiz says gaslighting, gaslighting? Gaslighting. Tyler says, if he gets

473
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: to this point, call it quits. Yeah, dude, I think

474
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: this guy is definitely purposely being suspicious with the ex

475
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: to keep eyes off other women, says giants milk.

476
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the X is a dequis.

477
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred Yeah, this is not innocent behavior at all. Honestly,

478
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: if this was me, I would probably yeah if it's just.

479
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: A boy but.

480
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a baby. I was about to say, I

481
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: was like, just a boyfriend, but this is a.

482
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: Baby related, Okay, I would try to get more evidence

483
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 2: at this point. Yeah, but definitely suspicious. Trust is broken,

484
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: rust is well. Uh so I felt my gut feeling

485
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: was correct. He shows me the messages and the only

486
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: thing he replies is how are you? I asked him,

487
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: if they are innocent messages, why hide them? He says

488
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: he is against female friends, he doesn't want female friends,

489
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: and he doesn't find it appropriate for your girlfriend to

490
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: have guy friends. He offers for me to track him,

491
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: and I say, a cheater is going to find ways

492
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: to cheat despite location tracking or checking their phone.

493
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: Also, why is he like doubling back just because she's overtext?

494
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I'm saying before he was saying, I don't

495
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: want you to track me now, he's saying, I want you.

496
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: To track me because he's found a way around it.

497
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm saying he's doing all this overtext, like

498
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 3: he has. She asked whose message ju delee. He didn't

499
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 3: say anything until overtext he said something.

500
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also like he's maybe giving her proof after

501
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: he has time to delete the evidence.

502
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, to dust the finger.

503
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course he's gonna be able to show her

504
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: the best version of things. I only did the pop

505
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: quiz to see if you forgot to delete something.

506
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: Oh like pop quiz him by Oh, let me see

507
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: your phone.

508
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to confirm that there was no flirting.

509
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: But now you have had the chance to permanently delete messages,

510
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: so it doesn't matter. You could have done anything. Lie

511
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: again like you did this morning. Next time, just let

512
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: me have your phone for five minutes. Dude, he sucks.

513
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: When he comes home, he gives me his phone password,

514
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: as well as the phone number of the girl. He texted.

515
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: I call her because I'm not a shy person. He said.

516
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: He is a good guy that she knew from high school,

517
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 2: but she doesn't know what goes on behind closed doors.

518
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: He says. She messages him every few months, but she

519
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: last talked to him a couple of weeks ago. I

Speaker 1: Uh?

Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of weeks or She also mentioned she

537
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: has been married for ten years, so she knows how

538
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: these conversations go. It seemed rehearsed customer service almost so

539
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: I asked for her social media. On Facebook, she is

540
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: single and she posts selfies where a variety of men

541
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: compliment her posts. On Instagram, she doesn't even post her kids.

542
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: After I asked about her social media, she called me

543
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: trying to explain that she doesn't post about her kids

544
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: because you know how people are. No, I don't I

545
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: post her kids all the time. Nesus say this individual

546
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: is not my favorite person ever, but my boyfriend does

547
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: not have her added.

548
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, that was actually super fair. I would not

549
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: want to post my kids all. Sure, But I mean

550
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: I feel like people, I don't trust this girl. I

551
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: don't trust this girl at all. I don't trust this

552
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: girl at all.

553
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: Do you don't think you don't trust his friend? She

554
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: seems pretty level headed though.

555
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: This friend, no dude, she's I feel like she's I

556
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: feel like they're inca hoots to keep their spicy, spicy,

557
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: spicy sleep life a secret.

558
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: I don't know the flaw I saw. She said the

559
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 3: last time they talked was a couple of weeks ago,

560
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: whenever Opie's hubby said they talk recently, way more recently.

561
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: I feel like that's one thing. And she also noted

562
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: I don't know what happens behind closed doors. Who Those

563
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: were the two things I thought she was being a

564
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 3: girl's girl for.

565
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: I think any more information.

566
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: I didn't any of that.

567
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: And he probably probably has this one lined up where

568
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: this is the fall, the decoy while he has all

569
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: these other Tinder girls he's talking to.

570
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: But this is the number of the person that he

571
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: deleted messages from. Yes, supposedly, I think, well, no, because

572
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: we know, we know, we know this is the person

573
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: that he like. Oh, I guess we don't know.

574
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: We don't know. I think he deleted a lot more messages.

575
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 5: From I think there's other girls going that's true, and

576
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: this one's just the regardless though, I think she she's

577
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: in on it and like being like a homie to him.

578
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and being the decoy.

579
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: Could be? Could be? Could be? All right, the only

580
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: way we'll know.

581
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: Could be could be?

582
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: Could be.

583
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: So to preface this next part, my boyfriend said he

584
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: quit social media months ago because he's spending too much

585
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: time on it and his brain is melting. Two days later,

586
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: I took his phone and I noticed a Facebook notification.

587
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: He has been back on Facebook for a month and

588
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: has been messaging friends, posting every day, and he follows

589
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: Okay story Time, the best Facebook page on Facebook. Make

Speaker 2: sure you can follow us right now.

591
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: He doesn't follow. If he did, he wouldn't be doing

592
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: all this true.

593
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: You would know, you would know.

594
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I have.

595
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: If you want to learn how to navigate the relationships

596
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: that matter most, follow Okay Storytime.

597
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: If you want to give it, listen to good advice.

598
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: Good advicefully hoofully.

599
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: Freaking follow us. He says that he only sends messages

600
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: to his family that US Messenger, and he barely even

601
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: uses it. I said every day, he's barely using it.

602
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: He didn't even reply to that. He said he forgot

603
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: I had Facebook, even though I had used to send

604
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: him hundreds of memes and have posted about him. And

605
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: I feel like he has got to see me on

606
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: Facebook over my shoulder. He again brings up that usually

607
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: the accuser is hiding something. I say, that is something

608
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: a narcissist and a cheater would say. Regardless, we've come

609
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: to an understanding that he needs to stop hiding stuff

610
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: and be more open and honest. He says, well, I

611
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: told you about the seventeen K the same day Saturday. However,

612
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: I have text messages that say otherwise with their time

613
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: stamp Monday. On this day. I also redownloaded Tinder again.

614
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: His account is gone vanished, which is even more sus

615
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: I confronted him and he said he had the app deleted. However,

616
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: he found out he was still paying for it.

617
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm paying for it.

618
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: You can pay for Tinder.

619
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: For men, it's harder to get dates, so they're like, oh,

00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,400

Speaker 2: three pm PST. It's that easy, just tap a profile.

627
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: I also realized at this point, nowhere in the fourtext

628
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: between this woman from high school and my boyfriend, does

629
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: she say her name? He says it is because they

630
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: have texted in the past. I said, why did you

631
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: delete it? He said because he wasn't going to reply.

632
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: So the timing of all this, But I would like

633
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: to blame stupidity instead of him being a cheater. I

634
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: have no proof of any cheating, but I don't approve

635
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,600
