1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: All right. This is from Tea on Redditch.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: He says, I'm not sure that my ex knows what

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: it means to be an ex. After what I thought

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: were four great years, she broke up with me, saying, quote,

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: she wasn't growing enough. It turns out there were three

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: or four other guys out there that she was growing with.

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: What really hurts, Yeah, that's what we're doing.

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: What really hurts is that I had a great relationship

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: with her son, and it was obvious the kid viewed

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: me as a father figure. She knows this and still

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: insists on trying to bring him over to my place

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: to babysit while she goes out, because she knows how

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: much he likes.

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: Hanging out with me.

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: I like hanging out with him too, But I think

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: it's unfair to the boy and to me to string

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: him along like I'm still part of his life in

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: that way.

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: What's the best way to handle this?

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 4: Stop we gotta stud I mean, that's crazy, man.
