1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Jonas is Sam your og okay Storytime

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: podcast hosts.

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: We have some great stories coming up.

4
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 3: But before that, we have a quick two minute break

5
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 3: from the sponsors that keep the show alive.

6
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 4: My boyfriend's son warned me about him. Now I'm doubting

7
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 4: our relationship.

8
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 5: Should have probably listened to your boyfriend's son.

9
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 4: Me twenty seven female with my boyfriend fifty mail of

10
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 4: three months, his kid warned me about him. I've been

11
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 4: dating Jesse for about three months. It's been a bit

12
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 4: of a whirlwind romance. Jesse is the kind of guy

13
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 4: I've always wanted, confident and smart and makes me feel

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: like a princess. And the spicy s leap is great

15
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 4: and I feel like we have a deep connection.

16
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 5: I bet you do.

17
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: By the way, this comes.

18
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 4: From Airpass and if you want to spend your own stories,

19
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 4: good to the r slash Okay Storytime suppered it.

20
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 5: I'm Sophia, I'm Riley, the guy he was.

21
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 6: About to crash out. Look at him, he's red already,

22
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 6: and I'm ke On and we're here.

23
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 7: To give good advice.

24
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 5: Goofiley.

25
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 7: But we don't have all the answers.

26
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 4: We only know what we do, so let us know

27
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: what you would do in the comments, OPI says, last Friday,

28
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 4: Jesse and I went out and ran into his son,

29
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: Julian eighteen. Julian shouldn't have been there as he is underage,

30
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: so I assume he had a fake ID. Jesse was

31
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 4: excited to see him, but Julian seemed like he didn't

32
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: want to see Jesse at all. It was very awkward. Later,

33
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: while Jesse was talking to someone he knew from work,

34
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: Julian approached me.

35
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 7: He told me he'll get tired.

36
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: Of you, he won't care about you anymore, and just

37
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: see you as something he has to spend money on.

38
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 4: Then I'll find something new he always does. He said

39
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: he was sorry and then left the bar. I didn't

40
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: know how to respond, so I talked to Jesse. He

41
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: told me how his ex wife and stepdaughters had poisoned

42
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 4: Julian against him. I've always known Jesse to be very generous,

43
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 4: so I don't believe the money part is true.

44
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 7: But I do know that Jesse hardly ever.

45
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: Spends time with his son, which is like a little

46
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: bit of a rip line. That is, he says Julian

47
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: won't answer his calls or texts. And avoids him. Jesse

48
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: also works a significant amount and finds it difficult to

49
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: balance his time. How do I know if this is

50
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: a red flag or not. This kid could have just

51
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: had a warped perception of his father, But I can't

52
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: help but feel badly for Julian. He seemed really sad

53
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: at that bar and Common one says Julian's mother the

54
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: said ex wife. It would be pretty messed up to

55
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: me if a biological child chose his stepmother and stepsisters

56
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: over his father, and that would be a serious.

57
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 7: Red flag to me.

58
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: Hmmm.

59
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: Op says she is the mother, his sisters are half siblings.

60
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: Common two says, I'm always surprised at just how bias

61
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: this subreddit is against relationships with age gaps. It's not

62
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: like you're eighteen and he's praying on your inexperience. You're

63
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: a grown woman. There's nothing inherently wrong with the age

64
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: gap in your relationship anyway, and never let someone else

65
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: into your relationship. This kid clearly has an agenda, and

66
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: he probably doesn't have your best interests at heart. This

67
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 4: is supported by the fact that Jesse's excitement to see

68
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: his son only went one way. There's bitterness there, and

69
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: it's not coming from Jesse. Keep Julian's words in mind

70
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: in case you see any other red flags, like how

71
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 4: did Jesse's.

72
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 7: Previous relationships go?

73
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but don't let those words supersede your gut feeling

74
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: about the relationship.

75
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 7: What are your thoughts on this?

76
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 5: If let's say Kean and I started dating, ye huh,

77
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 5: and his sister came up to me and said, hey,

78
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 5: you're just a peach right now, and once he gets

79
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 5: his fill, he's gonna go find another peach.

80
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 7: I hate that.

81
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 5: I would probably be like, Keon, Yeah, what does she

82
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 5: mean by this? What's going on?

83
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 7: Yeah?

84
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 6: I hated you to choose me or her? Huh, who

85
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 6: are you to believe?

86
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: I'm just asking questions.

87
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: I hated how you said that, but I do agree.

88
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: I think you should go to your partner who seemingly

89
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: you have a good relationship with, and have a conversation

90
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: with him about it and see what his relationship with

91
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: the Sun is like, his relationship with Zax is like.

92
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 5: And I know that those words that Julian said, it's it's.

93
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: Just our discord whether or not he is, you know.

94
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, But do I let it be water over a

95
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: rock or do I take it in and let it

96
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: because I feel like these words are gonna haunt Opie absolutely,

97
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: and then something's gonna happen. It's gonna be Oh, he

98
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: was right. That's that's a vibe I get here. It's

99
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: like a little mysterious warning.

100
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

101
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: I agree, oh, Pi says, I'm not worried about the

102
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: age difference, a little surprised by the responses toward it.

103
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: Them running into each other was weird. Jesse was excited,

104
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: but he didn't ask why Julian was drinking underage at

105
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: the bar. It didn't seem to bother him. Julian drove

106
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: afterwards as well, and he didn't seem wasted, but I

107
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: was surprised Jesse didn't say anything. He also didn't seem

108
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: to notice that Julian seemed awkward running into us until

109
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: I mentioned what Julian told me. He didn't seem to

110
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: have any idea that the encounter was so awkward. I

111
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 4: just feel like it could go either way so easily.

112
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: Julian doesn't seem like a bad kid, but Jesse doesn't

113
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: seem like a bad guy either. Doesn't have to be

114
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: one of the other comment three says he's fifty years

115
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 4: old and chasing after twenty seven year old.

116
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 7: Listen to his son. Someone that feels.

117
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: Too good to be true usually is Covin. For you

118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: are twenty seven, he is fifty. He's with you because

119
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: you're significantly younger and have a better body and higher

120
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: spicy sleep drive than women in his own age. That

121
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: is the craziest something that's crazy, That is actually crazy.

122
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: You know how many likes have a high.

123
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's I don't like that comment.

124
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 7: Oh but your eyes.

125
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: If Julian was twelve, then maybe don't believe him.

126
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 7: But he's nineteen.

127
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: Had his mom poison him against Jesse, then Julian would

128
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 4: have come to the realization by now that his mom

129
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: was lying. And there is an update three months later,

130
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: But any thoughts my prediction.

131
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: Yes, I think they're going to break up in this update. Yeah,

132
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 5: I think what Julian said was true and he's gonna

133
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 5: come out in a different way. I think hope he

134
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 5: should have done what you said, talk to him and

135
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: figure it out.

136
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 7: I hope that she does.

137
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 5: I just don't think. Yeah, the emotional intelligence, I haven't

138
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 5: heard anything about his emotional intelligence, so I'm a.

139
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 7: Little Yeah, little curious about that.

140
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: Thanks for all the advice, even though it was tough

141
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: to hear. I ended up deciding to move forward with

142
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: a relationship, but keep an eye out for any other

143
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: red flax to backtrack. Early in our relationship, I got

144
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: a text from a friend of mine that he.

145
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 7: Had seen Jesse at the local spicy club.

146
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 4: I spoke to Jesse about it, and he said he

147
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: did not consider it cheating because he did not get

148
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: lap dances or touch the dancers.

149
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: I would on a date with her, but we didn't

150
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 5: kiss or go home together.

151
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Okay, Okay, So now she's confirming that he

152
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: already had some trouble in the beginning of the relationship.

153
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, now I have less faith in this relationship same.

154
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: I let him know that I would let it slide,

155
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: but in the future, I'm not okay with him going

156
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 4: to spicy clubs without talking to me about it. First.

157
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: He agreed, but I kept noticing he would be out

158
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: working late. He told me at an emergency flood and

159
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: had to work late, and I ended up seeing him

160
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: at a gas station.

161
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 7: That I was driving by.

162
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: I stopped and talked to him, and he said he

163
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: had just gotten off work, but he smelled like cigarettes

164
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: and booze, and his clothes weren't dirty like they typically

165
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 4: are when he works flood damages. I also noticed he

166
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 4: was very protective of his work phone. He leaves his

167
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: other cell phone out all the time, but once I

168
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: asked to use his work phone to look something up

169
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: and he basically told me no, and to get my

170
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 4: phone charging in.

171
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: The other room.

172
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's weird. It all just builds up, so I snooped.

173
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 4: I got up in the middle of the night when

174
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 4: I was staying at his place and looked through both phones.

175
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: On his work phones, I found texts to escorts and

176
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: spicy dancers woe. On his other call, I found a

177
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: ton of text to his ex wife, who he promised

178
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: me he didn't talk to you anymore unless it was

179
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: about Julian.

180
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: Liar may be talking about Julian a lot.

181
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what.

182
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: Props to Julian for letting you know, good son. Apparently

183
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: she just started dating again a month ago, and he

184
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: absolutely shredded her for it. He said some very cruel

185
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: things like you must have found a guy who loves fat,

186
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: but it will be seen with you.

187
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 7: Suck dude.

188
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 6: What's wrong with that.

189
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 7: What he said, he just insulted her. Are you talking

190
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 7: to him?

191
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: I was just saying, like that was a week insult, Like.

192
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying, Okay.

193
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 7: Yeah. She never replied.

194
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: As far as I can tell, looking at those texts,

195
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: I knew that any future with Jesse was gonna end

196
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: like this. I also saw that he never messages Julian.

197
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 4: What's worse their text feed is Julian reaching out every

198
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: couple months and getting ignored.

199
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 7: Oh that's so sad.

200
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: One text from a few months ago was Julian telling

201
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: him that his band had a gig and asking if

202
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: he would come. I remember that weekend. Me and Jesse

203
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: stayed in that night and had a bunch of spicy sleep.

204
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 7: He never even mentioned his son at a show. I

205
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 7: felt sick.

206
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: I went online and bought ten copies of his band's epy.

207
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: A few days later, OPHI if he feels so bad,

208
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: She's like, I have to support his son now, oh man.

209
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 4: In the end, I decided to just ghost him. He

210
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: obviously had no respect for our relationship, and I felt

211
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: I didn't know him anything. When he was at work,

212
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: I got all my things out of his apartment and

213
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: left a note. I just wrote that his family was

214
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: right about him and did not contact me again. He

215
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: texted me later that he had an emergency he had had.

216
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 7: To work late.

217
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 5: Oh I bet.

218
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: He obviously hadn't seen my note, and I just didn't respond.

219
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: The next day, he found the note and started messaging

220
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 4: me about it. I decided to take a page from

221
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: his ex wife's book ignore him. As the week moved

222
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: on and he realized I was serious, the messages started

223
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: getting hateful things I don't care to repeat. I blocked

224
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: his number then. But there is a little bit left

225
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: to this story. Any final thoughts.

226
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 5: Honestly, Op, did the right move. Listen to Julian. He

227
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 5: knows what's up. He's a good kid. He does just

228
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 5: spread lies, So I think you did the right thing. Ope,

229
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 5: always listen to the kid. I feel like it was

230
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: just like a little angel being like fear him.

231
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I enjoyed this.

232
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, me too. It was a great story. What do

233
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: you think youon?

234
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 6: What are you good for you?

235
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: Op? Yeah?

236
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 8: Good for you?

237
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 7: Get out of that relationship.

238
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 6: If someone warns you about our relationship, probably you.

239
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 7: Know good Yeah, to look into that.

240
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: They went out of their way yeah, they didn't like

241
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: they went out of their way. There wasn't a spiteful

242
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 5: energy to get you to date them or like like

243
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 5: if Julie was trying to get in your pants and

244
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 5: to be like, uh you, but like it was purely

245
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: a good intention of warning. Yeah, I think we all

246
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: need to listen to but.

247
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 7: There is a little left.

248
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: It's disturbing for me to think about what a cruel

249
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 4: and vicious person he ended up being. If Julian hadn't

250
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: talked to me at the bar, how much longer would

251
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: it have taken me to see this side of him.

252
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 4: I also have this weird guilty feeling that I'm a

253
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: home wrecker, even though Jesse obviously wrecked his home himself.

254
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 4: I really thought of me and Jesse as having a

255
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: potential for a long term relationship. It hurts to have

256
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: those hopes crushed and not getting any younger.

257
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 7: I got a lot of comments last post.

258
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: About the age gap, not really interested in that. I

259
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: know several couples with significant age gaps. I'm a grown woman,

260
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: not a teenager, and I can choose to date someone older.

261
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: Hopefully it won't be an ale next time, and comment

262
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: once is good on you for getting out. Think about

263
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: dropping a note to Julian so you can thank him

264
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: for the warning. The kid might feel better for knowing

265
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: that his warning help someone for once. Besides, it can

266
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: be validating when dealing with a harmful ale to have

267
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 4: someone else go yeah, he's a knuckle out, all right,

268
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: and you were right?

269
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 7: Oh, he says.

270
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: I did consider it, but I feel like I'm probably

271
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: the last person he wants to hear from. And that

272
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: is the end of the story.

273
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 9: Folks, my girlfriend ruined my favorite sweater because she thinks

274
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 9: my ex is hotter.

275
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: If you want to destroy my sweater, pull this thread

Speaker 8: Hi, twenty eight male really really loved this sweater.

278
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 9: It was smart, casual with a striped pattern from a

279
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 9: fancy Italian brand. I could wear it to work as

280
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 9: well as for an evening out, and I really liked

281
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 9: how I looked in it. I'm really really pissed to

282
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 9: lose it.

283
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,720

Speaker 9: Background on the relationship. My girlfriend is Hannah, twenty seven female.

294
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 9: We met because we live on the same street and

295
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 9: used to have our pre work morning call at.

296
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 8: The same cafe.

297
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 9: Our coffee meetup slowly turned into dates, and we've officially

298
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 9: been a couple for about six months.

299
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 8: I like her.

300
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 9: She's sweet and smart and pretty, but we are taking

301
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 9: it slow since both of us are coming off.

302
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 8: Of terrible breakups. She broke up with her fella of

303
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 8: ten years.

304
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: Wow. That ten year fella. Yeah.

305
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 9: Their relationship ended in a haale of fights and petty

306
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 9: behavior which tore apart their friends and pissed off their families.

307
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 8: The reasons were never clear to me.

308
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 9: All Hannah said was that all of their relationship problems

309
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 9: came up at the same time and everything unraveled.

310
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 8: My breakup was kind of different.

311
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 9: Haley also twenty seven female, and I never really officially dated,

312
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 9: but we had been friends for a very long time.

313
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 9: We slept together once when we were both between relationships,

314
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 9: but we were sure that we worked better as friends.

315
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 9: Two years back, Haley broke up from a bad relationship

316
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 9: and we got into a semi official friends with benefits situation.

317
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 9: We would still hang out and talk as friends, but

318
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 9: once in a while we'd also have some form of

319
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 9: physical intimate. Both of us also got really busy with

320
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 9: our careers, so we never really had other romantic relationships.

321
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 9: Around Christmas twenty fifteen, Haley brought up our relationship and

322
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 9: told me that she was falling for me as more

323
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 9: than a friend and wanted to explore a relationship with me.

324
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 9: I didn't, so I had my own reasons, mainly that

325
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 9: we had some fundamentally mismatched views on life that would

326
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 9: make a relationship really hard.

327
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 8: We worked really well as friends and she was really

328
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 8: important to.

329
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 9: My life and I didn't want to jeopardize that by

330
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 9: getting into a relationship.

331
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 8: Well, I still lost that friendship.

332
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 9: She essentially went no contact, and no matter how much

333
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 9: I hated it, I couldn't really say much since it

334
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 9: was a reasonable thing.

335
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 8: For her to do for her own sake, But it

336
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 8: really hurt.

337
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 9: Losing her as a friend hurt way more than a

338
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 9: breakup I've ever had, and it took me a while

339
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 9: to find my footing. Hannah knew the basic details about

340
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 9: my and Haley's relationship and wasn't too curious about it.

341
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 8: She also knew that.

342
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 9: I had a few things that Haley had given me,

343
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 9: but never raised an issue about it, especially since she

344
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 9: had a bunch of from her ex as well. This Christmas,

345
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 9: I accompanied Hannah to her office Christmas party.

346
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 8: To my surprise, Haley was also there.

347
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 9: Surprise surprise, what turns out she started working there recently,

348
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 9: at a different department from Hannah's. We exchanged pleasantries and

349
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 9: tried some small talk, but it was awkward and lasted

350
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 9: maybe three minutes, most of which was silence. Then Haley

351
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 9: left early and I didn't see her again. While I

352
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 9: talked to Haley, Hannah was somewhere else, and when she

353
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 9: came back, I told her about it. She had never

354
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 9: met her before Big Company, but her curiosity was piqued.

355
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 9: In any case, I got into a jovial party mood

356
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 9: and everything went back to normal until last Friday, when

357
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 9: I was at work, I got a flurry of texts

358
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 9: from Hannah basically saying that she finally met Haley. Now

359
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 9: you should know that Haley is really attractive, like modeling

360
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 9: offers since she was sixteen attractive. Plus her job also

361
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 9: means that she's always dressed to an alive event manager

362
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 9: for high end corporate parties. Okay, interesting, Well, seeing Haley

363
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 9: did a number on Hannah.

364
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 8: She didn't come out and say it.

365
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 9: But she suddenly got extremely curious about Haley as well

366
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 9: as our relationship, with a lot of questions about everything.

367
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 9: She even specifically mentioned the sweater, saying, no, wonder you

368
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 9: love that sweater so much?

369
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 8: Ah, that's no good, That's no good.

370
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 9: I tried my best to assuage her insecurities. I told

371
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 9: her that there was absolutely nothing between Haley and me.

372
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 9: We haven't even talked to each other in more than

373
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 9: a year, except for three awkward minutes during that party.

374
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 9: I also told her that I really liked her and

375
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 9: could see our relationship going pretty far, but.

376
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 8: I was also low key annoyed with the whole conversation.

377
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 9: Anyways, Hannah slept over Saturday night, and I thought we

378
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 9: had gotten somewhat past this momentary burst of jealousy. Then

379
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 9: she left early on Sunday morning, saying something had come up,

380
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 9: even though we had plans to spend the day together.

381
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 9: In the evening, I was going through my lawndream and

382
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 9: I saw the sweater with a big hole in the armpit,

383
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 9: like someone had tried to literally pull it apart with

384
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 9: their bare hands. Now it's obvious that it was Hannah's doing.

385
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 9: Oh my god, that's crazy.

386
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a piece of clothing. Like, it doesn't

387
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: mean I'm like in love with the person who gave.

388
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: It to me, right that it's associated with.

389
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I have clothes for my ex and it's just

390
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 9: kind of like, well, free clothes, that's.

391
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: All it is to me. You know, their clothes.

392
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 8: I'm sure it's the same for Op, but not for Hannah.

393
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: I guess it's like it's not like it's a sweater

394
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: that's like xoxo from Haley, your favorite girl in the universe.

395
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 8: She didn't make it for you. That would be different.

396
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: If it was a sweater that had a big like

397
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: Haley and Op Forever exoxo on it, that would make

398
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: more sense.

399
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly.

400
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 6: Or you wear that sweater from your ex and he's like,

401
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 6: I love the sweater. I haven't washed it because it

402
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 6: smells like him.

403
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. It's like, that's just not.

404
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: This is concerning.

405
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, but now the idea of like it looking like

406
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 9: it had been tried to rip apart with your bare hands,

407
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 9: I'm just imagining like the mental breakdown that Hannah was having, like, yeah.

408
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: That's that's that's pretty rough.

409
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 8: We don't like that.

410
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 9: I had worn that sweater on Thursday, and when I

411
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 9: put it aside for dry cleaning, it was fine. No

412
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 9: one else had come to my flat since then. I

413
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 9: texted her asking about it directly. May not have been

414
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 9: the best tactic, but I was incredibly pissed off. She

415
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 9: was defensive from the get go, denying that she did it,

416
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 9: coming up with various ways that could have happened, and

417
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 9: continuously telling me that I was an a hole for

418
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 9: thinking she was crazy like that. Today this morning, she

419
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 9: texted me all pissed and kurt and told me that yes,

420
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 9: the provenance of the sweater bothered her, but she didn't

421
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 9: do it. I think I need to dump her, but

422
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 9: I've been second guessing myself a fair bit as well.

423
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 9: Hannah has always been really sweet and is very caring

424
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 9: and sensitive about my feelings.

425
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 8: I really like her and.

426
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 9: We don't have any fundamental differences. We can genuinely have

427
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 9: a good, fulfilling relationship. And maybe this ripping up a

428
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 9: sweater thing was just a momentary lapse of judgment, which

429
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 9: she is extremely embarrassed about and hence her defensiveness.

430
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 8: But what do you think?

431
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 9: And we do have some relevant comments, But what do

432
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 9: you think Dakota and Kean?

433
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: I think I would have liked it more she had

434
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: just owned it, yeah and been like, yeah, I did that, Yeah,

435
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: I did that. I hate that sweater, right, I hate

436
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: that sweater. I don't like that girl.

437
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 5: I don't like the sweater.

438
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I still would be worried.

439
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 6: Do you not like the sweater or do you not

440
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 6: like what the sweater stands for?

441
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 8: Exactly?

442
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it just stands for a good sweater.

443
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 6: Yeah. From Op's perspective, it stands for comfortability.

444
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I feel good in it because it fits me.

445
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 6: Well, that is, if you don't like me when I

446
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 6: feel good, you might like me when I feel bad.

447
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: It is expansive in Italian.

448
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 8: Exactly, let me have this, exactly.

449
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: Please and let me have this.

450
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

451
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 9: I feel like even her texts before is like already

452
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 9: a red flag of her freaking out the fact that

453
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 9: Haley's pretty.

454
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 8: It's like, girl, well you're pretty too.

455
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 3: Quit it, you know, Like, yeah, there's always gonna be

456
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: someone prettier than you or someone right, there's theoretically someone

457
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: out there who's the prettiest person on earth.

458
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 8: Sure, but we do have some relevant comments.

459
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 9: One commentary says, I can't imagine dating someone who would

460
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 9: fly into a jealous rage and destroy my property because

461
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 9: an old X was attractive.

462
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 8: That's really insane. Reagan says, my ex, who I have

463
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 8: a five.

464
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 9: Year long restraining order against, destroyed a dozen items of

465
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 9: my clothing by tearing holes in them in a jealous rage.

466
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 9: Only backcrap. I think crazy a holes do this. Don't

467
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 9: date anyone who does. Howie and Makeham says, if she

468
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 9: ripped a hole in your sweater because you used to

469
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 9: date an attractive woman, I'm guessing the breakup won't be pleasant.

470
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 9: And we do have an update of ten days later.

471
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 9: Do we think this is going to be a breakup update?

472
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, I hope so.

473
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 9: Since it's been ten days and the matter has been

474
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 9: settled in a satisfactory manner, I thought i'd update you

475
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 9: guys as to the final conclusion. I've had a few pints,

476
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 9: so forgive the disjointedness. And we got some frequently asked questions.

477
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 9: It was a Laurel piano jumper. What Lourel pianoano?

478
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: It's not repairable, I asked around.

479
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 9: My evidence for knowing that Hannah was the culprit is

480
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 9: circumstantial but compelling. Firstly, after I put it in the

481
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 9: pile meant for dry cleaning, it was covered by a

482
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 9: bunch of other stuff. When I discovered its tattered remains,

483
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 9: it was bunched up in a ball on top of

484
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 9: the pile.

485
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 8: Secondly, the tear was eight inches.

486
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 9: Long, something I would have noticed quite comfortably if it

487
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 9: had happened while I was wearing it, or while I

488
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 9: put it in the laundry pile. Thirdly, while it was torn,

489
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 9: it was also stretched completely out of shape. The stretching

490
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 9: would be consistent with someone grabbing two sides of it

491
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 9: and pulling it apart. Most convincingly, when I confronted Hannah aggressively,

492
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 9: I admit she started telling me about all the alternative

493
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 9: ways in which the damage could have happened. With exact

494
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 9: knowledge of the type of damage that.

495
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 8: I pour jumper had suffered. Yeah, that's a giveaway.

496
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 9: I had never mentioned the type of damage, namely that

497
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 9: it was in the armpit area along the seam, along

498
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 9: with the stretching. That sounds like the type of damage.

499
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 9: But maybe there were other details that she was referencing

500
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 9: to the lady who sent me a very heartfelt and

501
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 9: foul mouth rant slash plea. Yes, I think people have

502
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 9: every right to feel insecure or inadequate.

503
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 8: Yes, people have every right to act like an idiot.

504
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 9: Yes, I have done stupid things due to my lack

505
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 9: of control over my emotions. And yes I'm weird or

506
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 9: materialistic enough to love a jumper more than the woman

507
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 9: I'm dating. But no, I don't think she deserves my

508
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 9: forgiveness for this slip up. I bet that commentary was

509
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 9: the girlfriend.

510
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the girlfriend in an incognito.

511
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 8: Yeah.

512
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not the point.

513
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: The point is that she'd like destroyed this thing out

514
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: of jealousy and lied about it.

515
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and probably knew what she was you know, I

516
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: assume she knew how expensive it was. Probably, And yeah,

517
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: it's just whack. It's just a whack thing to do.

518
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 9: Whack thing to do and that is because it wasn't

519
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 9: the insecurity, it wasn't the lack of control, and it

520
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 9: wasn't the materialism that made me want to break up.

521
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 9: It was the lying and deceitful manner in which she

522
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 9: behaved afterwards. It was the insanely manipulative way in which

523
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 9: she turned herself into the victim and demanded an apology

524
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 9: from me. And yeah, the cursing directed at me didn't help.

525
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 9: The story is fairly dramatic as well as anti climactic.

526
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 9: Her curt behavior after my ill fated confrontation lasted for

527
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 9: two days.

528
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 8: Then she called about forty times to beg me for forgiveness.

529
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 9: Even though I avoided the calls, I did hear the

530
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 9: voicemails and my empathy was piqued. She also pretty much

531
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 9: admitted to her guilt in some of those messages. But

532
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 9: then I also came to know that preceding those calls,

533
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 9: she had lashed out towards Hayley, my ex friend slash

534
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 9: friends with benefits at their workplace, and that it was

535
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 9: ugly as well as having potential to spiral negatively.

536
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 7: For her career.

537
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 8: That made me feel really bad for Haley.

538
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 9: She didn't deserve to be dragged into drama that she

539
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 9: played no active role in. There is a little bit

540
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 9: more into the story, but I think all of the

541
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 9: behavior before he confronted her is something I would break

542
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 9: up over for sure.

543
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 8: For sure.

544
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just kind of like, oh, like I have

545
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: opened a little door, a little crack in the door

546
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: of what's what I'm gonna be getting down.

547
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: The line if we continue with this.

548
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, And I said, like, if she

549
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 3: would have just been.

550
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I did that.

551
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate that sweater, and I hate that girl,

552
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: and I hate that you wear the sweater that girl

553
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 3: got you, yeah, I'd have been like.

554
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: Well do I don't like that?

555
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: But thanks for I guess telling me you did this.

556
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 3: That's not it's not very cool.

557
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd still probably break up. Let's be honest, I'd

558
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 2: still break up with her.

559
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 8: But there is a little bit more into the story.

560
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 9: The anti climactor is that I didn't even have to

561
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 9: break up with Hannah. She has essentially moved in with

562
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 9: her parents up north. She sent me a message through

563
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 9: a mutual acquaintance stating that she realizes she has quite

564
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 9: a few issues she needs to handle from her breakup

565
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 9: with her ex fiance and that our decision to date

566
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 9: was pretty much doomed from the start.

567
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll look at that. Yeah, she knows.

568
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 8: I wished her the best of luck with her journey.

569
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 9: Another mutual acquaintance approached me, this time one between me

570
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 9: and Haley. She said word apologizing for her role in

571
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 9: my relationship meltown. I told her that there was nothing

572
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 9: to apologize for on her end. I also asked for

573
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 9: her forgiveness for inadvertently causing workplace dramatics and that's that.

574
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 8: There are some relevant comments.

575
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 9: One person says, I looked at one of a Laura

576
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 9: Piana charges for stuff. O.

577
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 8: Whoa, that's an expensive jumper.

578
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 9: I think therefore, I think says for anyone wondering why

579
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 9: it's so expensive. Still, some manufacturers are known for their

580
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 9: regular use of Mongolian Kashmir, like Laura Piana quot Laura

581
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 9: Piana is one of the highest end Kashmir producers in

582
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 9: the world.

583
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 8: Rush says. They have their own herds that they control.

584
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 9: Oh wow, They're completely in charge of that environment, and

585
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 9: the animals are being treated so well.

586
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 8: The goats are really thriving.

587
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 9: You can't just bring the goats to Italy, where a

588
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 9: Laura Piana is based, because they won't produce the same

589
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 9: kind of Cashmir as they do in Inner Mongolia.

590
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 8: For the climate and environment is perfectly suitable for the

591
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 8: best Kashmir. And that's the na as.

592
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: Sorry, my boyfriend exposed my mental condition to a party.

593
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Full of people.

594
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 8: Hey, that's private.

595
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 3: I twenty female, have a well controlled mental condition that

596
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: I am very private about. I take two separate medications

597
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: twice a day, every twelve hours, and for the most part,

598
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: it does not affect my daily life. Luckily, I have

599
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: a fantastic doctor who worked with me to experiment with

600
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: medications until I found a combination that worked for me

601
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: with minimal side effects.

602
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm just saying this to demonstrate.

603
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: That this is not a significant issue in my life anymore,

604
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: and it is not necessary for many people to know.

605
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: By the way, this comes from user.

606
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: I am It's not crazy okay, And if you want

607
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: to submit your stories, go to the r slash okay

608
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: storytime subreddit. I'm Dakota and I'm Anjie and I'm Blurry,

609
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 3: and we're here to give you good advice goofully, But

610
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 3: we don't always have all the answers. We only know

611
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: what we would do, so if you would do something different,

612
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: let us know in the comments. As Op says, I

613
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: started dating my boyfriend, twenty three male, almost a year ago,

614
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: and he has been great, just a little dopey. He's

615
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: not a subtle person and can't keep a secret to

616
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 3: save his life. So even though I told him before

617
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: we started dating that I have this condition that is

618
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: well controlled and I don't really like people to know

619
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: about it, he went ahead and told his parents. I

620
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: was pissed, but told him not to tell anyone else

621
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: and we got through it well. Last weekend, we went

622
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: to one of his friend's parties and while they all

623
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: got wasted, us sipped on a soda. Many of his

624
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: friends were concerned that I wasn't drinking and kept saying

625
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 3: stuff like it's okay that.

626
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: You're underage, you could still have a bruski.

627
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: Want me to make you a cocktail.

628
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: I was starting to become uncomfortable with the comments when

629
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 3: my boyfriend, in his infinite wisdom, decides to announce, oh,

630
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: she's not drinking because it affects your medication. Okay, well

631
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: now I'm pretty pissed, but whatever, no one really mentioned

632
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: it further. Well in a little later, my alarm goes

633
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: off and my boyfriend, who was wasted by now literally

634
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 3: yells to me, Hey, beb Tom.

635
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: And take your crazy pills.

636
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 9: Ohoh, two mistakes there, one making a public two call

637
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 9: them crazy bills.

638
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: Ah yeah, just not really and none of that was

639
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: right at all.

640
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: That was all wrong.

641
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

642
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: He turns to the other people and goes, yeah, she

643
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: has condition and has to take pills for it.

644
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: I just stared at him. I could not believe that

645
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: he would do this to me.

646
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: I just met some of these people, and now they

647
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: all know something incredibly personal about me that is nobody's

648
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: dang business.

649
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 2: I hate hate the way people treat.

650
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: Me after they find out, like I'm unhinged or damaged

651
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: or something. I don't want anybody's pity. It's effing well

652
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: controlled for goodness sake. I grabbed his keys and went

653
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 3: to the car, and he followed me, asking what was wrong.

654
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: You know what's wrong, buddy, dude, you shouted to the

655
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: whole party, she's taking crazy pills.

656
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, come on.

657
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: Not not the way you address your girlf when who

658
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: has mentuelt issues that are being well controlled by medication.

659
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything.

660
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: I just drove us home and haven't really talked to

661
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 3: him since, even though he's been apologizing profusely.

662
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: Is this something I can even forgive him for? Should I?

663
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: What should I do here? Seriously, I'm so upset and angry.

664
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: He had no right at it.

665
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: We broke up. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

666
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: No one can really tell you what you should do

667
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: or what you are okay with forgiving.

668
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: But honestly, I would.

669
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: Just break up with that guy because why would you

670
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: speak on me this way? Why why would you do

671
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: that other than a complete lack of respect or care

672
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: or you just do think I'm crazy?

673
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, because it's like I could get forgetting about

674
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 9: it in a moment, like if you just didn't think

675
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 9: it was that big of a deal, Like if she

676
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 9: was just embarrassed about it and you were like, oh no,

677
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 9: like everyone will be fine, and then you accidentally mention it.

678
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 8: I could get that mistake.

679
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 9: But like, that does not seem to be his thought

680
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 9: process behind it, especially since he called him crazy pills.

681
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it's over.

682
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 8: It's over to you.

683
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: We've got some comments and Roe says, if my boyfriend

684
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: called out time to take her crazy pills at a party.

685
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: I'd probably dump him, hope. He replies, Yeah. That pissed

686
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: me off to no end. And then he pulled that

687
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: crap and literally told them the condition. And this is

688
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: like a well known condition that is pretty much automatically

689
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: associated with being crazy. Princess Programmer shows, Wow, that was

690
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: incredibly insensitive. I suffer from depression, but it's getting to

691
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: the point where that's not really taboo anymore. Imagine if

692
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: my boyfriend blurted out something super personal to a.

693
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: Room full of people.

694
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: Girl, you deserve better, Opie says, Yeah. I couldn't even

695
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: believe it. Like, we have been to parties before and

696
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: I have seen him enjoy the drink he poos before,

697
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: and he didn't do anything like that. I think maybe

698
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: it was because some old friends of his were there,

699
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: and they were really how do I put this immature

700
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: and making really insensitive jokes, Like these guys were loud

701
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: and noisy, and I didn't like them at all. I

702
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: especially didn't like how my boyfriend was acting around them.

703
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: And there's an edit, not that this is an excuse.

704
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: What he did was so crappy. I'm so effing pissed

705
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: at him. REDMN seventeen says, yeah, that makes it worse.

706
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: So he turned into an a hole at your expense

707
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: just because he wanted to fit in with his ahle friends.

708
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: You are well shot of him, Opie says. I know

709
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: I was really bothered by his behavior. He knows I

710
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 3: get anxiety and loud environments too. Before we went, he

711
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: was like, don't worry everyone, there is super chill. Yeah right,

712
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: Opie says. Sometimes he calls them my crazy pills at

713
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: home and I just elbow him to shut up. But

714
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: to say something like that at a party where he

715
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: knows that I don't like people to know about my

716
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: condition was beyond out of line.

717
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: Not a real rabbit, which is exactly.

718
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: What a real rabbit would make their user name if

719
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: they wanted you to not know they were a rabbit.

720
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 8: We see right through you.

721
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 3: They say, I'm glad you've cleared out, but I just

722
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: want to say, if it was bothering you even at home,

723
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: he should have.

724
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: Cut that right out.

725
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: I think it was sort of like, ah, I if yeah,

726
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: it wasn't like a stop it.

727
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do that if you want to talk about

728
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: them that way.

729
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: If you find it helpful, that's one thing, but it's

730
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: not something he gets to decide as hilarious and.

731
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: Impose on you.

732
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: OP says, Yeah, I'm gonna put a definite end to

733
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: that if it happens with the next guy. I have

734
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: a sense of humor. I just don't have a sense

735
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: of humor about that.

736
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I guess I was wrong.

737
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: There's an update from eleven days later. All right, I

738
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: bet you it's gonna be full of graveling.

739
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know why you're so mad. Please hold

740
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: my hand and give me a hug and take me back.

741
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm your boyfriend.

742
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 10: Now.

743
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 8: I think God's like word for word what we're about

744
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 8: to read.

745
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Update eleven days later.

746
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: Before I went back on Saturday to get my stuff,

747
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: I texted my ex to let him know and said

748
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: if he wanted to talk, that would be the time

749
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: to do it. He said okay, but when we got there,

750
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 3: he wasn't there. So we packed everything up and I

751
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: officially moved back home. He tried reaching out to me

752
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: via text a couple times, but I told him I

753
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: was really hurt.

754
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: He decided not to be there.

755
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: I guess I still kind of wanted to salvage things,

756
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: and that I had nothing more to say to him.

757
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: I blocked him to resist temptation. Now the exciting part

758
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 3: of the update. I had gotten a Facebook request from

759
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: one of our mutual friends who was also at the party.

760
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: She told me that she thought my ex was a

761
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: butt for what he did, and told me that she

762
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: had GAD and would un alive her boyfriend, who was

763
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: also there, if he was ever to pull something like that.

764
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: We had a long and nice conversation and she invited

765
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: me out to the movies with her boyfriend and his brother.

766
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: And there is some more story left here.

767
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: Good job on the blocking. We recognized we would be tempted.

768
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: Good job on the blocking. We got the block in there.

769
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 3: What a little baby boy not being there, he said,

770
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: he would be.

771
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: Job's afraid. Good job afraid of you.

772
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 8: I was very smart of you to do, and I'm

773
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 8: glad you did it.

774
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: Yes, job, and yes, Whitney Anderson. GAD is generalized anxiety disorder.

775
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: I believe for general general or generalized, I don't know.

776
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 8: But that is either way pretty much.

777
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: That is okay, let's finish this story.

778
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: I went to the movies and guess what his brother

779
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: and I totally hit it off. He's pretty shy and

780
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it then, but I guess they were

781
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: trying to hook us up.

782
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: Anyway.

783
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how I feel about dating a guy

784
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: younger than me. He's nineteen and turns twenty in December,

785
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: but who knows. It hasn't been long since we broke up, though,

786
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 3: so if we do get together, it probably won't be soon.

787
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: But as of now, I have a coffee slash study

788
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 3: date with him next Friday.

789
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: Smiley face.

790
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you for everyone who commented on my original post.

791
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: You may not have known it, but everyone sharing your

792
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: stories really helped me and kept me strong when I

793
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 3: wanted to text him every night. And there are some

794
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 3: more comments here. Comment one is the update is hilarious.

795
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 3: I don't know how to feel about dating a guy

796
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: younger than me. He's nineteen almost twenty. Girl, you're twenty.

797
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: It's not like you're out of college. It's literally the

798
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: same with my husband. I'm eight months older than him.

799
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: There's literally nothing different except for me being a cougar

800
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: for eight months out of the year.

801
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 2: Jokes. Comment two. I feel this. I have schizophrenia since

802
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: I was about seventeen. I'm thirty nine.

803
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 3: Now I'm very well medicated and live a perfectly normal life.

804
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 2: You'd never know if I didn't tell you.

805
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 3: When I was younger, I would have evaporated if someone

806
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: told a whole room.

807
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: But now I'm nearly forty and I just own it.

808
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: I don't go out shouting it, but if it comes up,

809
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 3: I'll say it. It's mostly when people are to talking

810
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 3: about bad stereotypes and I'm like, actually, I feel for

811
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: this last and I hope she can learn to own

812
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: it and not feel embarrassed for having a condition you

813
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: can't control. Like I told my nibblings when they asked

814
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: about my meds, Auntie's brain is just wired differently. A

815
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: lot of people saw it's nothing to be ashamed of.

816
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 8: It's true.

817
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 7: Right.

818
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: Comment three says, I take prescribe medication twice a day

819
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: to stop my brain from going overdrive. My wife basically

820
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 3: forced me to go to the doctor for it because

821
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 3: I was passing out for getting really angry. It has

822
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 3: helped me so much, and she has never told anyone

823
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 3: about it, no matter how annoyed she may get with me,

824
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: because she knows something should remain personal. I could never

825
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 3: imagine her betraying my trust like that. Meanwhile, this guy

826
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: thinks it's funny to do it and then acts oblivious.

827
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 2: Wasted people speak sober thoughts, and that is the end

828
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: of that story.

829
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: Hey, John Ogi host, We're gonna get back to the stories,

830
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 3: but a quick free minute break of ads from our sponsors.

831
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 3: My boyfriend wants to watch a twitch streamer while we

832
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: get Spassic. He's got to get those twitch drops. I,

833
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 3: twenty nine female, knew he was into video games when

834
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: I started dating my boyfriend, twenty eight male. I'm basically

835
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 3: the opposite of him in that department. I have never

836
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 3: been interested in anything video game related.

837
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: That entire nerd culture is not for me. Well wow,

838
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: mind you.

839
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: I have made an effort to understand his hobby, and

840
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: over the years, I've even found games I enjoy playing,

841
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: but I would definitely not consider gaming to be a

842
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: hobby of mine. I'll play rhythm games like once a

843
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: week for an hour at most, for example. And by

844
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: the way, this comes from user twitch ovencorn. And we're

845
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 3: here to give you good advice, goofly, But we don't

846
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 3: have all the answers. We only know what we do.

847
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 3: So if you do something different. There's no in the comments.

848
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 3: In the beginning of the relationship, the first couple of

849
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 3: years or so, it was pretty difficult getting through to him.

850
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 2: Because he was constantly on World of Warcraft.

851
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: We had to set boundaries later on because I found

852
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: he wasn't making any time for me, and he was

853
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 3: constantly on Twitch, either watching or streaming himself or playing

854
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: wow er lol or whatever else.

855
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: It got pretty bad, but we worked through it.

856
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: His obsession with Twitch kind of dwindled down, and we

857
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 3: were both seemingly happy. However, and I feel a little

858
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 3: dirty even riding this. I feel worthless and absolutely disgusting

859
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: and unwanted. Please don't judge me too harshly. One night

860
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: before BET, as I was getting ready to lay down,

861
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 3: he was watching a stream on his tablet of some

862
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 3: famous Twitch female streamer.

863
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: I happened to glance over and she was.

864
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 3: Pretty scantily clad, with big nerd glasses and a front

865
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: bazongas hanging out.

866
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: I thought, Oh, whatever, it's just him watching a game.

867
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: This went on for a few nights in a row.

868
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 3: Each time it was a different girl. He'd watch for

869
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: a bit, turn it off, and immediately want to have

870
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: spascist sleep and I've secretly felt horrible about it, but

871
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: I guess last night kind of broke the camel's back.

872
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: He set up a stream to Sart coming on to

873
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: me in bed and left his tablet propped up on

874
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: the night table. I was going along with his advances,

875
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: but attempted to close the tablet when he told me, no, no,

876
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 3: leave it on. I want to watch who while I

877
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 3: do it. I was pretty much in shock. Didn't know

878
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 3: how to respond. I started crying and left for the night.

879
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 3: He didn't even really attempt to stop me. I got

880
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: a very pathetic sorry as I was leaving. Thankfully, my

881
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: parents live like five minutes away, so I spent the

882
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: night there. Since I left, he's attempted to call me

883
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: and has texted me twice.

884
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: One text was to tell me I'm overreacting. Am I No?

885
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: No?

886
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 10: The second that, it was like every night he watches

887
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 10: these girls on Twitch and then immediately goes, okay, I'm

888
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 10: ready for you now. I'd be like, nah, we're fixing this.

889
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: How do I approach this? I thought we were over it.

890
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: I thought we had a decent relationship, but he clearly

891
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: prefers watching women play video games. Over just having a

892
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: spice to sleep with me. Do I approach him or

893
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 3: wait for him to approach me? I was getting these comments,

894
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: T Bow, You're not worthless or disgusting. What your boyfriend

895
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: did was extremely disrespectful, and you are right to be upset.

896
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 3: Watching scantily clad girls is one thing. Plenty of people

897
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 3: like to watch that or other similar things. What he's

898
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: doing is basically using your body while he thinks.

899
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: Of other people, which is pretty gross. Be fermi Hill boundaries.

900
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: If he still brushes it off, then you should probably

901
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 3: get a better boyfriend, hope. He replies, yeah, which is

902
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 3: why I feel like absolute crap. I don't think he

903
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 3: realizes this, and to me, it seems like he sees

904
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with what he did.

905
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 2: He has accused me.

906
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 3: Of overreacting and has basically said that other guys probably

907
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: do it, so it's fine. He has hinted at his

908
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: one handed habits regarding this Twitch content before. Do men

909
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 3: actively do this to women playing video games? That seems

910
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 3: odd to me.

911
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just feel used in dirty.

912
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: What's really crazy is that he didn't even have enough

913
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 3: respect to bring it up, like, of course my girlfriend

914
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: won't mind being f while I look at another women

915
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 3: on my can. I think it's pretty obvious that the

916
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 3: second he gets one of these female gamers to show

917
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: a bit of interest in him, he's out the door.

918
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: Iff aka Levi says, right, he even said I want

919
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: to watch her while I do you. Basically, I don't

920
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 3: even want to acknowledge that it's you that I'm having

921
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 3: this spose sleep with.

922
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: I want to pretend it's her.

923
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: The audacity is astounding. He's lucky that crying was the

924
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 3: extent of her reaction. There's an update the next day.

925
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 3: Last night, I decided to get together for coffee with him,

926
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 3: mostly because my mother urged me to. I never told

927
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: her the extent of what exactly happened, but she knows

928
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 3: it's video game related because we've gone over this problem

929
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: before in the past. Anyway, I initiated the conversation via text,

930
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: and he agreed to meet me. I guess I don't

931
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: know what I was expecting closure, Maybe because I was

932
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: pretty sure I wanted to end it and stop trying

933
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 3: to work things out. Because I've been working things out

934
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: for the past five years. It's just become exhausting. He

935
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: got into defense mode right away, basically listing all the

936
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: things I've done wrong in the relationship and why he's

937
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: over me.

938
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 8: The baby you wouldn't let me watch my twitch girl.

939
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: He's like, actually, no, you're not firing me. I quit. No,

940
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 2: actually you did all the wrong stuff.

941
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 3: And first one on the list not letting me look

942
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: at other girls while we do the Bang bang. According

943
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: to him, here's the things I've done wrong. I declined

944
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 3: going to Korea last year for vacation. He so badly

945
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 3: wanted to go. I knew if I went, I'd be

946
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 3: left alone every day because his buddy would also have

947
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 3: come to again. Also, there was a big League of

948
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: Legends tournament happening at the time.

949
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 8: Say where's the video game time?

950
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I was already left Korea.

951
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 6: He's gonna be like Doda Legal Legends.

952
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 2: I'm in the worst games of all time.

953
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 3: So he would have been doing League of Legends related

954
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 3: things and mentally one hand clapping to the cosplayers all

955
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: the time while I explored the city alone or hung

956
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 3: out in a hotel. I said I wasn't interested in going.

957
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 3: He got but eventually got over it, or so I thought.

958
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: I changed my appearance even though I knew he liked

959
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 3: women with long brown hair. I decided to cut my

960
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 3: hair fairly short and bleached blonde not too long ago.

961
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 3: It was time for a change anyway, and I'm very

962
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 3: happy with how it turned out, and he was not.

963
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: I always refused to wear revealing clothing. He'd constantly badger

964
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 3: me about how I don't wear enough stuff that shows

965
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: off my front, air bags and my legs. I'm fairly modest,

966
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: so I'm not into that kind of stuff. I'm more

967
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: comfortable in a T shirt and jeans. He'd want me

968
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: to wear sun dresses and plunging tank tops, and I

969
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 3: always said no. My birthday gift this year was a

970
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 3: pair of those giant wrap around headphones headgear.

971
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're called.

972
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 3: All the twitch streamers are wearing them, but he spent

973
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 3: a fairly good amount of money on them.

974
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 6: They probably have the cat us.

975
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: It's like, Babe, I got you a give for your birthday.

976
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: It's really for me.

977
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy this thing you'll never use, and

978
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: since you weren't gonna use it.

979
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 7: I cannot borrow it.

980
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: He's spent a.

981
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 3: Fairly good amount of money on them, which I guess

982
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 3: but I had originally complained that my old headphones suck

983
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 3: and I.

984
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: Needed new ones for the gym.

985
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 3: Oh he got me these bulky ones and got upset

986
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 3: that I don't wear them much. He's asked me in

987
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 3: the past to wear them and put my hair in

988
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 3: pigtails and wear revealing clothing around the house while wearing

989
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 3: my glasses. I'm not even kidding. This guy's a major stereotype.

990
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 3: I didn't play a League of Legends, and I didn't

991
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 3: enjoy sitting on the couch watching him play hours of it.

992
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 3: I don't know how to play the game. I tried

993
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 3: numerous times.

994
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: I suck.

995
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: I didn't enjoy myself. Why would I keep at it?

996
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 3: And I was not open minded about anything. This is

997
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: pertaining to the situation in the original post. I'm not

998
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 3: open minded enough about being his little fun time, so

999
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 3: this hurt his feelings too.

1000
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: I am not accepting of.

1001
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 3: His spicy hobbies, which is a total effing lie, because

1002
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: I've agreed to do some pretty out there stuff in

1003
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: the past to appease him.

1004
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm very open minded about the spicy sleep.

1005
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: I would have appreciated a forewarning about the twitch girl

1006
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 3: joining us, though I don't get along with his friends.

1007
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: I tried to so hard.

1008
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 3: I tried to relate to those guys like you wouldn't believe,

1009
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 3: but they all literally have zero social skills. They're awkward

1010
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 3: and blatantly ignored my existence whenever I was around it,

1011
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 3: started talking about things they're interested in and just disregard

1012
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 3: anything I ever said. It'd invite him to board game nights,

1013
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: asking if I'd be going to like, they don't want

1014
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 3: me there. I was pretty much an outcast, so no,

1015
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 3: I tried. They just didn't want to be around me.

1016
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: And we have a.

1017
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: Little bit more story left for you'd be around before

1018
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 3: we ask one of you out there for your thoughts

1019
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 3: and opinions on this situation, or if you've been through

1020
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: one yourself.

1021
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: But what do we say we should do here?

1022
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 8: Carly break up with this man?

1023
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: No way, It's.

1024
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 3: Time for us to go at classes to learn how

1025
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 3: to be better at League of Legends.

1026
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, op, get really good at Legal Legends.

1027
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: So in conclusion, I told him I was done. He

1028
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: didn't really react dramatically. I think he's done with the

1029
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: relationship too. He can watch all the streamers he wants

1030
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 3: now and play League legends for twenty three hours of

1031
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 3: the day. That must be quite a relief. I'm going

1032
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 3: to the apartment to pick up whatever I can later.

1033
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm staying with my parents until I find a new place.

1034
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 3: I feel oddly calm and okay with everything that's gone

1035
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 3: down in these last couple of days. This is almost

1036
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: a relief. Thanks everyone, It should be a relief.

1037
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 8: Let's see what the comments are.

1038
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 7: We'll say about that.

1039
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: Darth Kaine says, are you kidding?

1040
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: I play video games and I want to punt the

1041
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 3: crap out of him if you ever talk to him again,

1042
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 3: tell him. Some looney on the internet says you're the

1043
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 3: reason women don't like gamers.

1044
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: A and then zork eld scorkin that woosh sound. That

1045
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: was the bullet you dodged. He's twenty eight.

1046
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 3: Hey, no, you're so much better off without him. Wow,

1047
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 3: you're done. You're gone.

1048
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: Maybe should have been gone a little earlier.

1049
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 10: It's okay, but sometimes you take a little while to

1050
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 10: realize the craziness.

1051
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 2: And that's the end of this story. Let's to the

1052
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 2: next one.

1053
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 10: My girlfriend lied about inviting her ex to her home

1054
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 10: while I was away.

1055
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: It better be to give us a million dollars and

1056
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: a surprise party.

1057
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 10: Me thirty five male, and my girlfriend Sarah thirty five female,

1058
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 10: have been together for four years.

1059
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 8: She has a.

1060
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 10: Son, Nathan, nine male, with her ex, Mark thirty six male.

1061
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 10: Sarah has full custody of Nathan, with her ex, having

1062
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 10: scheduled visitations one weekend of every month. Sarah and Nathan

1063
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 10: moved in with me a little over a year and

1064
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 10: a half ago, and in my perspective, it was a

1065
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 10: little rocky at first. By the way, this comes from

1066
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 10: additional door thirty two O six and I'm Carly, I'm Dakota,

1067
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 10: and I'm Keon, and we're here to give good advice goofully,

1068
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 10: but we don't have all the answers. We only know

1069
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 10: what we would do, So let us know what you

1070
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 10: would do in the comments. I've always been pretty protective

1071
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 10: of my space, so making room for two other people

1072
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 10: was difficult for me. When Sarah moved in with me,

1073
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 10: we agreed that the visitations for Mark would be held

1074
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 10: in our apartment as long as I'm home. The main

1075
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 10: reason I wanted this is because I don't know Mark

1076
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 10: that well and I don't want him wandering around our.

1077
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 8: Apartment without me.

1078
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 6: There.

1079
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 10: When we proposed this idea to Mark, he was fine

1080
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 10: with it. Now, moving on to the real issue. Three

1081
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 10: weeks ago marked four months since Mark's last visit, So

1082
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 10: I had asked Sarah when he was planning on visiting Nathan.

1083
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 10: My girlfriend replied by shrugging her shoulders and telling me

1084
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 10: she'd ask She never followed.

1085
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 7: Up with it.

1086
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 10: So a few days ago I asked when Mark's next

1087
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 10: visit was, and Sarah said she'd tell me when she knew.

1088
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 10: Nathan was in the living room but had apparently overheard

1089
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 10: us and shouted something along the lines of dad was

1090
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 10: here last weekend. Remember, Sarah's face immediately dropped, and when

1091
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 10: I asked what Nathan meant, she wouldn't give me a

1092
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 10: direct answer. Eventually, she ended up telling me that for

1093
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 10: the past two visits, Mark had been to our apartment

1094
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 10: while I was working. When I accused her of going

1095
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 10: back on our agreement, she kept telling me this was

1096
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 10: her home too, and she could invite whoever she wanted,

1097
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 10: and that it was fine because she was here and watching.

1098
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 10: I told her that was besides the point, and she

1099
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 10: violated my trust.

1100
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 8: It blew up.

1101
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 10: Into a huge argument which ended in me telling her

1102
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 10: to get out of my apartment. She packed up and

1103
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 10: left with Nathan. Last I heard, she was staying with

1104
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 10: her parents. I've gotten several messages from both Sarah and

1105
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 10: her parents calling me an a hole for Sarah and

1106
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 10: Nathan out of their home for something so small. She's

1107
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 10: even been blasting me on Instagram and Facebook about how

1108
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 10: horrible I am to do this to her.

1109
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 2: Why didn't you just say something?

1110
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 3: Why didn't you just say, Hey, Mark's coming by to

1111
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 3: visit Nathan. He's gonna be there while you're at work.

1112
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 3: That's like, it's what's gonna happen.

1113
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 10: It's the only rule, though, Why can't you just maintain

1114
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 10: the one thing that you all mutually agreed on. I

1115
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 10: don't know if you're gonna go and just change the

1116
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 10: agreement and then lie about it.

1117
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you at least just gotta like bring it up.

1118
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. It feels like it feels like.

1119
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 3: It's coming from a little bit of a place of

1120
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 3: like me, like insecurity from op side.

1121
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 8: But like he likes space.

1122
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 10: But I feel like after everybody completely agrees, then the

1123
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 10: only way to change that again is for someone to

1124
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 10: come up and be like, hey, we were wondering if

1125
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 10: we could change this, and like, I don't know give

1126
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 10: any reason why. Maybe one of them was uncomfortable, but like.

1127
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 8: I'd be, I'd be upset.

1128
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta talk about it.

1129
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 10: It's got me thinking I might be the A hole,

1130
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 10: but I'm not entirely sure yet.

1131
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 8: So am I the A hole?

1132
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 10: Edit to add I can see why it's important, but

1133
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 10: the core order was instructed because of Mark having a

1134
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 10: criminal record. I'm not sure what it's for, as Sarah

1135
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 10: has never directly told me, and I didn't want to

1136
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 10: push her to tell me. Judgment not the a whole

1137
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 10: more info from the comments. The reason the visitations are

1138
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 10: scheduled with Sarah or a police officer is because of

1139
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 10: Mark's record. I wasn't told specifics, but when Sarah and

1140
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 10: I were going over the visitations last year, Sarah.

1141
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 8: Brought it up fairly briefly.

1142
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 10: I always wondered what it was, but I didn't want

1143
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 10: to push my girlfriend to talk about it. If she

1144
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 10: didn't want to, she couldn't tell me to leave. My

1145
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,479
Speaker 10: name is the only one on the lease. I only

1146
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 10: call it our apartment because that's what it was. We

1147
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 10: were all living there, but legally mine was the only

1148
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 10: one on the lease and had been for years. As

1149
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 10: for traumatic for Nathan, he was pretty happy that he

1150
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 10: was going to see his grandparents, though I'm not entirely

1151
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 10: sure he realized they wouldn't be back. I work a

1152
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 10: job that requires me to fly out twice a month

1153
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 10: for a few days. Most of the time these land

1154
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 10: during the weekdays, but unfortunately the last few have been

1155
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 10: during weekends. My work trips are not scheduled by me

1156
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 10: to keep it simple. At the start of the month one,

1157
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 10: my boss will send me an email telling me what

1158
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 10: days I'll be scheduled and where. Recently, however, it's mainly

1159
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 10: been on weekends rather than during the weekdays. At the

1160
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 10: start of month one, i'd let my girlfriend know when

1161
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 10: I was working so we could figure out when Mark

1162
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 10: would come over. The last two trips only took up

1163
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 10: two weekends and left six available. We have some top comments.

1164
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 10: Busy Temperature eighty nine thirty nine a downvoted comment.

1165
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 8: You're the a hole and I will tell you why.

1166
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 10: You are living with a woman I assume you care

1167
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 10: about and trust, Yet you say her ex can't come

1168
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 10: pick up their child at your share at home? Does

1169
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 10: that mean that nobody can come visit her when you're

1170
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 10: not home.

1171
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 8: Ill.

1172
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: First of all, that's not what happened.

1173
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 8: It wasn't just a pick up.

1174
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 2: He didn't pick him up, He just came over and.

1175
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 8: Hung out there.

1176
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, what if her son has a friend come over

1177
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 10: to play. Technically it's her home as well. The fact

1178
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 10: that you threw her and her kid out is just horrible.

1179
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 10: You should be ashamed of yourself, and Opie responds. According

1180
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 10: to the court order, Mark is allowed to take Nathan

1181
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 10: out during his specified weekend as long as Sarah accompanies them.

1182
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 10: Of course Sarah can invite other people over when I'm

1183
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 10: not there, but I don't trust Mark deleted another downvoted comment,

1184
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,959
Speaker 10: everyone sucks here. You're being an a hole for saying

1185
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 10: that they can't have him over.

1186
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 8: Without you there.

1187
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 10: It's Sarah's home too, and she should be able to

1188
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 10: have over anyone she wants. You're also an a hole

1189
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 10: for her and her kid out over this. That's an

1190
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 10: extremely crappy thing to do. She's also the a hole

1191
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 10: because she should have spoken to you about wanting to

1192
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 10: change the original agreement, and it does seem weird that

1193
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 10: she was lying and hiding it so much. Although since

1194
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 10: you are controlling and your reaction to it, maybe she

1195
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 10: was just scared. Opie says, I'm not entirely sure if

1196
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 10: she told Nathan to lie for her as he was

1197
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 10: at school the last time we had discussed it, and

1198
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 10: he jumped to say something fairly quickly this time, downvoted,

1199
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 10: you are tentatively the a hole.

1200
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 8: This is not just your home, or it wasn't just

1201
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 8: your home.

1202
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 10: Nathan has a right to see his dad, and Mark

1203
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 10: has a right to see his son, no matter how

1204
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 10: crappy he is.

1205
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 8: I have first hand experience.

1206
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: Well that's actually to.

1207
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 3: Say, no matter how crappy he is is pretty inaccurate.

1208
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 3: You can lose all rights to visit your child, ye,

1209
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: depending on how crappy you are.

1210
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: So that just putting that out there.

1211
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like maybe the only way that you

1212
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 10: could maybe possibly stretch this that OPI was the a

1213
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 10: hole is that he was so quick to kick them out.

1214
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 10: But I don't think he's wrong for being mad about

1215
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 10: crossing boundaries, especially ones where there were obvious workarounds of

1216
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 10: like just not being in the house.

1217
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and there's like clearly a place for her

1218
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 3: to land with Nathan at the grandparents' house, so I'm

1219
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 3: sure if that wasn't the case, maybe op.

1220
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: Would have handled it a little differently.

1221
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 3: But OPI did this knowing like yes, and I know

1222
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 3: exactly where you're gonna go.

1223
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 10: If you have made a family home, you can't just

1224
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 10: demand things like it belongs to you. It sounds like

1225
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 10: everyone was trying to keep to your rule then hid

1226
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 10: stuff from you because you're being an a hole, Opie says.

1227
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 10: I'm fully aware that it was our home, but it

1228
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 10: was solely mine before that. There was only one thing

1229
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 10: that I asked for when she moved in, and it

1230
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 10: was that I would be here while Mark was here.

1231
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 10: We have an update from a week later. I know

1232
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 10: it's fairly early in the morning while I'm posting this,

1233
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 10: but I got off the phone with my ex and

1234
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 10: figured you all deserved an update. There were a lot

1235
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 10: of different opinions on who was in the wrong, but

1236
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 10: after going over a ton of them, I realized I

1237
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 10: wasn't as non ass wholly as I thought. Now onto

1238
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 10: the update, as I'm sure that's what all of you

1239
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 10: came back for. It's not too exciting, so I'm sorry

1240
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 10: in advance. Firstly, on Monday, I had a locksmith come

1241
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 10: by in order to change the locks, which I got

1242
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 10: the go ahead from my landlord, and I ordered a

1243
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 10: new door camera that should be coming in sometime next week.

1244
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 10: After that, I hadn't heard from my ex until Tuesday,

1245
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 10: when she called me for a number I didn't recognize

1246
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 10: her mother's in order to apologize. She started crying over

1247
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 10: the phone, begging me to take her back and that

1248
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 10: she made a mistake and how awful it was being

1249
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 10: back at her parents' house. She complained that everything was

1250
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 10: a mess and that there was a smell she hated.

1251
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 10: She even promised to never bring Mark over again as

1252
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 10: long as she could move back. I ended up telling

1253
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 10: her that she had lost my trust and that I

1254
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 10: wasn't going to move past this simply because she was

1255
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 10: having a difficult time at her parents' house. I told

1256
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 10: her this was her consequence for breaking the one thing

1257
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 10: I asked her to do when she moved in. When

1258
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 10: she realized I wasn't budging, it's like a flip had

1259
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 10: been switched, she started screaming at me, using lots of

1260
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 10: colorful language I won't be repeating here. Among the list

1261
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 10: of swears, she told me I had no right her

1262
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 10: out of her home, that I was criticizing her as

1263
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 10: a parent, that I was manipulative and ignorant, and that

1264
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 10: nobody would ever love me, because not even she loved me.

1265
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 10: Before she hung up, she told me she'd get me

1266
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 10: evicted and take my apartment from me.

1267
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 8: I blocked the number after.

1268
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 10: I ended up emailing my landlord in order to see

1269
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 10: if there was any way she could get me evicted.

1270
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 10: I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my post,

1271
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 10: but I've been pretty good friends with his son for

1272
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 10: a while. He ended up calling me and laughing about

1273
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 10: the whole situation, telling me that legally she has no

1274
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 10: ground to stand on since her name was never on

1275
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 10: the lease. According to him, she was simply a living

1276
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 10: guest until her name was added. Thank goodness it never was,

1277
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 10: which brings us to earlier this morning, where my ex

1278
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 10: woke me up to call me, this time from her

1279
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 10: father's number, and repeated most of the things I listed above.

1280
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 10: Apparently she had contacted my landlord and he had hung

1281
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 10: up on her.

1282
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 8: Thank you, David.

1283
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 10: By the end of it, I told her to stop

1284
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 10: contacting me and that we were over for good. I

1285
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 10: blocked her father's number as well, It's not the most

1286
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 10: exciting update, as I said earlier, but it's what happened.

1287
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 10: Some people in the car suggested I talk to my landlord,

1288
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 10: which is what I ended up doing, So thank you

1289
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 10: to those people. That's the end of that story.

1290
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Sam.

1291
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna get back to the stories.

1292
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 2: But here's three minutespads from our sponsors.

1293
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 3: My girlfriend keeps pushing Froze to try Polly, and now

1294
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 3: I'm having doubts.

1295
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, that would do that.

1296
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I doubt you're gonna stay together.

1297
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 6: Yeh, she's pushing for p My girlfriend.

1298
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: Twenty three female and I twenty two female, have been

1299
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 3: together for two and a half years, and I genuinely

1300
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 3: thought she was someone I wanted to spend the rest

1301
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: of my life with. But in the last couple of

1302
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 3: months she started pushing really hard for this, and I

1303
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 3: don't know what to do. By the way, this comes

1304
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 3: from user throwaway what do I Do? Thirty three seventy seven.

1305
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 3: I'm Dakota, I'm Carly, I'm Keon, and we're here to

1306
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 3: give you some good advice. Goofly, But we don't have

1307
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 3: all the answers. We are not the all seeing eye.

1308
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 3: We are not the all knowing orb, but we are

1309
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 3: just people and if you do something different, let us

1310
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 3: know in the comments. It started about three months ago

1311
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 3: when after a night out with a couple of our

1312
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 3: friends we go to college with, she told me that

1313
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 3: another woman, Becky.

1314
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 2: Had approached her at the bar and asked her out.

1315
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 3: Apparently, my girlfriend told Becky she was already in a relationship,

1316
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 3: and Becky suggested looking into polyamory. I laughed, thinking this

1317
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 3: was just a funny, odd story she was sharing, but

1318
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 3: she was completely serious about it, which just really weirded

1319
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 3: me out. I told her I wasn't comfortable with that,

1320
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 3: and after that she let it.

1321
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 2: Go for a couple of weeks.

1322
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 3: But lately she's been bringing it up more and more,

1323
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 3: to the point that it's been really bothering me. She'll

1324
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 3: show me articles preaching the benefits of a polyamorous lifestyle,

1325
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 3: she's reading books about it, et cetera. The main reason

1326
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: I'm even posting this is because last night, while we

1327
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 3: were in bed, she asked me whether I'd reconsidered polyamory

1328
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 3: and asked if there was anyone in particular I'd like

1329
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: to bring into the relationship. I got upset because the

1330
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 3: way she asked it, it sounded like she had someone

1331
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 3: in mind already. I didn't like the idea of polyamory

1332
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 3: in the first place, let alone the idea of her

1333
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 3: already being interested other people. She backed off immediately, but

1334
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 3: it had me feeling really suspicious. So I hate that

1335
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 3: I did it, and it's got me feeling guilty.

1336
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 2: But when she got in the shower, I went through

1337
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 2: her phone.

1338
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 3: I noticed one of her recent texts to someone said

1339
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 3: I miss being around you or something like that, and

1340
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 3: after looking through the text thread, I think it's definitely

1341
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 3: Becky from the bar. The first text was from the

1342
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,959
Speaker 3: night she went out, and for a while they don't

1343
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 3: text super often. A lot of the texts are like

1344
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 3: updates about her progress in convincing me to be Polly.

1345
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 3: It's almost creepy. There were discussions about ideas of how

1346
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 3: to bring up polyamory again, ways to put it in

1347
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 3: a more positive light without making me feel like it

1348
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 3: was being shoved down my throat, and there was even

1349
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 3: a text saying she's ovulating, so maybe it'll.

1350
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 2: Sound more appealing to her.

1351
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 3: It's genuinely creeping me out and has me questioning a

1352
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 3: lot about our relationship. While I don't think she's actively

1353
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 3: cheating on me, I think she's gunning for her polyamory

1354
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 3: with the specific intention of be with Becky. That you

1355
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 3: just said she's cheating on me with like way more words, Yeah,

1356
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 3: that's all you said, she's cheating on you. How do

1357
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 3: I go about breaking up with her? Am I overthinking

1358
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 3: this and villainizing her for an identity she.

1359
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Wants to explore.

1360
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 3: I'm obviously lost here, and I'd like an outside perspective

1361
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 3: on how to go about this without asking people we

1362
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 3: know to avoid airing out dirty laundry. Any advice would

1363
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 3: be appreciated, and we have some comments. Girl, it's crazy

1364
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: that you just said, how do I break up with her?

1365
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 2: You're ready to break up.

1366
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 8: With her as you should, she would like to break.

1367
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 3: Up Comment number one, it's become obvious you're not interested

1368
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 3: in a monogamous relationship anymore and monogamous so this isn't

1369
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 3: going to work and I'm not going to hold you back.

1370
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 2: This relationship is over.

1371
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 3: A reply to that says simple, courteous, and direct, excellently put.

1372
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 3: Comment number two says, don't she already has somebody in

1373
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 3: mind she wants to cheat with and is asking for permission.

1374
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: I know a few successful couples that have tried polyamory,

1375
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,439
Speaker 3: but for everyone that works, there are ten others that don't.

1376
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: Frankly, this is your cue to dump her.

1377
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 3: Comment three as well, from what I can tell you

1378
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 3: of female couples, when one party brings up opening the relationship,

1379
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 3: the relationship is almost always over.

1380
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: They just don't know it yet.

1381
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 3: Whoever brings up opening the relationship almost always has another

1382
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: person in mind or are already cheating. So if you're monogamous,

1383
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 3: the relationship is doomed. If you are into trying swinging

1384
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 3: or bringing in a third person.

1385
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 2: Maybe, but if not, again doomed.

1386
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 3: If she wants to be with other people one on

1387
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 3: one and you're not okay with that.

1388
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 2: Also doomed.

1389
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 3: From what you said, it sounds like a concerted effort

1390
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 3: to convince you again. If you're not okay with it,

1391
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 3: then choose yourself and end things on your terms and

1392
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 3: just walk away. You deserve more from a partner. Comment

1393
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 3: for says No, I wouldn't say you're overreacting. As far

1394
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 3: as I've noticed. If one party pushes for any kind

1395
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 3: of third party involvement in a relationship, the other party

1396
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 3: doesn't want it never ends well. I myself, I'm interested

1397
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 3: in an open relationship. I've brought it up with my partner.

1398
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 3: He's not into it, and that I'm perfectly happy with

1399
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 3: not doing it if that means I stay with him,

1400
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 3: I would say, just be honest and say that you

1401
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 3: feel pushed into this and this is not what you want,

1402
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 3: and you stated so previously, So you want to end

1403
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 3: things if that's what you're aiming for.

1404
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 2: Reply.

1405
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 3: Your partner isn't doing it for you in the bedroom

1406
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 3: or lacking in other qualities. Would this be a correct assumption.

1407
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 3: Our reply says no, not at all. I have a

1408
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 3: pretty different view of the whole thing. Bicy sleep has

1409
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 3: never been an emotionally connected act. For me, It's about

1410
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 3: enjoying the act, and some people offer different things. I'm

1411
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 3: fully satisfied in my relationship, which is why I'm also

1412
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 3: fully happy with not being in an open relationship.

1413
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 2: Reply. That's a great response, the best I've heard so

1414
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: far from a woman's point of view.

1415
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 3: For most men, the act itself, most of us aren't

1416
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,479
Speaker 3: emotionally connected. We just enjoy the actual deed and trying

1417
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 3: different things with different people. Unfortunately, most of the women

1418
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 3: I've spoken to about this are either bored or they

1419
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: feel unappreciative by their partners, which is a very bad

1420
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 3: state of mind to be in if they're considering this lifestyle.

1421
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Thank you, And there is an update.

1422
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 3: Apparently my now ex girlfriend is kind of nuts. She

1423
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 3: came over to my place after work about two hours ago,

1424
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 3: and I took some people's advice and sat her down

1425
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 3: and told her I wanted to break up. After a

1426
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 3: very long, extremely confusing conversation, she admitted the truth. The

1427
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 3: texts weren't from Becky, they were from her husband. Wait

1428
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 3: what for context? She's always told me she was a sapphig,

1429
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 3: so that was a bit out of left field. According

1430
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 3: to her, she got pregnant from her high school sweetheart

1431
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: and their families pressured both of them to get married.

1432
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 2: They're from a very small religious.

1433
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 3: Town, so a baby would have made their families social outcasts.

1434
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 3: Her pregnancy was unsuccessful at about thirty weeks, which I'll

1435
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 3: admitt had me feeling very bad for her. She admitted

1436
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 3: to him a while afterwards that she thought she might

1437
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 3: be by and in turn, he admitted to her that

1438
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 3: he had a fetouche for POC women and she's white.

1439
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 2: The story about Becky technically true.

1440
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 3: She met her at a bar after going out every

1441
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 3: night for like a month since.

1442
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 2: She and her husband were at odds.

1443
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 3: Becky suggested polyamory after my ex told her she was married,

1444
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 3: and she went home to him with the idea. She

1445
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 3: and her husband agreed that if she could find him

1446
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 3: some women of color for them to potentially sleep with together,

1447
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 3: she could explore her by with relationships outside of the

1448
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 3: marriage in order to find and convinceaid women. They started

1449
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 3: sleeping with Becky, who is a black woman, and my

1450
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 3: ex started college shortly after, where.

1451
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: She met me, a Native American.

1452
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 3: The texts were apparently from her husband's Google voice number

1453
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 3: that he made specifically for communicating about the whole polyamory thing,

1454
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 3: so that if I or any future women she pursued

1455
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 3: checked her phone, they would only find out about her

1456
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 3: want for polyamory and not about the fact that she's married.

1457
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 3: I was confused about why we were together so long,

1458
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 3: and she never said anything about her husband, and she

1459
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 3: says that she felt in love with me right off

1460
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 3: the bat and wanted to make sure our relationship was

1461
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 3: rock solid before gently suggesting the idea. The whole situation

1462
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 3: has me feeling extremely disgusted, manipulated, and sad. Yea, now

1463
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 3: it feels like our entire friendship was nothing but an

1464
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 3: elaborate lie.

1465
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, yeah, I need to make sure that

1466
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: we're on solid ground.

1467
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 6: And you know, we're a couple.

1468
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: My husband knows about this, by the way, but like

1469
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: we're trying to get you into it, but we're like,

1470
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: we're like, we're baby stepping here, we're baby stepping.

1471
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 10: And we did it when we were going out to

1472
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 10: date Ope's girlfriend.

1473
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 8: I'm talking to Ope's girlfriend.

1474
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 10: Did we not you know, maybe bring up polyamory a

1475
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 10: little sooner because we were doing it the whole time.

1476
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 3: Ultimately, I kicked her out and told her to never

1477
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 3: contact me again, blocked her on everything, and deleted any

1478
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 3: trace of her off of my phone.

1479
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 2: Now I'm just here drowning my sorrows in chili and

1480
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 2: ice cream.

1481
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 10: Wait, wait, wait, did I miss something? Is Becky her husband?

1482
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 2: No? No, you missed Yeah, you must have missed something.

1483
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 8: We were not okay, No, he's not.

1484
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Her husband knew about Becky.

1485
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 6: Number that she was reading was her husband's, right.

1486
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 10: I was getting confused if maybe she had been calling

1487
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 10: her husband Becky this whole time.

1488
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Or if Becky's actually Becky's an actual person, are we

1489
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: sure Bey's a person of color, she's a black woman.

1490
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 8: We learned that you're right comments to throw.

1491
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 7: Me off too.

1492
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 3: Hopefully this chapter in my life is completely over and

1493
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 3: done with, and I thank you all for listening and.

1494
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 2: THEA yeah I used your real name. Good crowd to

1495
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 2: your husband about it.

1496
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 3: If you're reading this at Fearsyleth, you have the intelligence

1497
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 3: of a rock. Your portfolio looks like it was done

1498
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 3: by a toddler. Your entire place smells like rat feces,

1499
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 3: and you are one of the most hot, breathed, selfish

1500
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 3: people I've ever met. You are your absolute greatest fear, unremarkable, plain, underwhelming,

1501
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 3: and disappointing.

1502
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 2: And that's the end of that story.

1503
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 3: But girl, I'll tell you this, it's never as big

1504
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:55,919
Speaker 3: of an own as you think it is to dunk

1505
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 3: on someone that you used to be with because you

1506
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 3: were with them.

1507
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 8: I think we can give it to Op for that

1508
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 8: that was I got.

1509
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 2: You, But it's like, it's like, yeah, but then why

1510
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 2: were you with her?

1511
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 3: I get it, she didn't know she was I'm saying

1512
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 3: that she's a hot breath rat.

1513
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 2: Feces.

1514
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 8: You know, I'll let her get it out.

1515
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 2: She's fine. Why were you with doubt clean of hot breath?

1516
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 8: Ex is ever gonna see that
