That set a completely new argument about 151 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: never listening to her and only hearing what I want 152 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: to hear, and how this will make it so I 153 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: can stay home with the kids and not even need 154 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: a fun money job. 155 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: Damn, yeah, we don't even need you for real. 156 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: During this, I noticed that she was typing on her phone, 157 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: and when I asked why she was multitasking an argument, 158 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: she said that she was texting my parents to get 159 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: the kids so they didn't have. 160 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: To see this probably smart fair enough.

So everyone else knew, even 163 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: his own parents knew. How did he not know? 164 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: We have to get him on board by ambushing him. 165 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: How else are we gonna do it? 166 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: Come on?

She had told my parents the 171 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: promotion included relocation. I'm typing this on the couch in 172 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: the basement because I can't face her right now. My 173 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: parents knowing means she probably did say we would need 174 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: to move if she got it. I don't want to move. 175 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: I like my job in our house. 176 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: Like that, she probably did say that she had to 177 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: move to him. Yeah, I think he's like, yeah, I 178 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: wasn't listening, maybe questioning like did she tell me? I 179 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 2: don't remember. I wasn't listening. I like being near my parents. 180 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: I knew this would practically set us for life, but 181 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: I don't want to. I know I'm being selfish, and 182 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: I know I must not be listening when she talks. Well, 183 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: there's a lot of reasons that you might be a 184 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: bad husband in that sentence, right, Like, you're not probably 185 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: not being the best partner, Opie. I know I don't listen. 186 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: I know I'm being selfish. I know I'm not doing 187 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: right by my family. Like, bro Opie, we gotta look 188 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: at a mirror real quick. I still don't think she 189 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: should accept the promotion. I still think no, there is 190 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: an update, but we gotta we gotta take a break 191 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: real quick. We're here right here. Did to break some 192 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: things down? I think Ope, he has been an ass dude. 193 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: He's been a little bit of an ass. No, he's 194 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: not listening. He's like like he just heard, oh we're 195 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: getting more money, and then she's like, yeah, we're gonna win. 196 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: He's just not listening to anything else. It's like, you know, 197 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: yeah that Charlie Brown, Yeah gotta love it. Yeah. I 198 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: think I think he is showing that he's not a 199 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: good listener. He's showing he doesn't care about his family 200 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: what's best for the family, and is like I don't know, 201 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: like like like how does he not see that? How 202 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: is he not looking in a little mirror if it 203 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: is true that she didn't tell him, which it's it's 204 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: now getting into not just a he said, she said, 205 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: But he's also questioning himself of like, wait, did did 206 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: she tell me? And I didn't listen? 207 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: If she truly didn't tell him, then yeah, she's at 208 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: least a hole for not telling him. But I think 209 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: he's over His reaction is not great. Like what if 210 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: he said, like, oh, hey, honey, could we pull aside? 211 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: And like, you know, I'll be honest, I'm kind of 212 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: blindsided by this, and here's my fears and concerns and 213 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: things like that, Like I feel like. 214 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: That would be a more than just saying reasonable. Way 215 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: just say no, especially as it seems like he has 216 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: been told this information before. That's the worst part. He's 217 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: been told this information, but he's still like no, no, no, 218 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: But we say yes to reading this update. Now, let's 219 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: get it. 220 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: This has only been up for a few hours, but 221 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: I wanted to get this in as soon as I could. 222 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: It's been a little less than a month since I 223 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: had this sent in, so a lot has happened. I 224 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: will frontload with information people asked about. Also, sorry if 225 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: it sounds fake I wish it was info. I've been 226 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: tested for add as a kid, but did not get diagnosed, 227 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: though I guess that would be something that could change 228 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: as I age. I probably should get tested for ADHD, 229 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: considering she's told me her exact job many times and 230 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: it refuses to stick in my brain. Ah remember the 231 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: fancy bio engineering. 232 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: Job, which like, maybe he's just stupid. He could be 233 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 2: just an idiot, could just be dumb and a bad listener. 234 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: Oh p, you are hidden way above your weight class 235 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: with this lady. It's like a total dime piece sime 236 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: piece of sugar. Mom. 237 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, so like in fifteen years you don't know 238 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: how to describe her job. 239 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: That's a red flag. That's pretty pi. 240 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: That's a red flag, like, yeah, she does some science 241 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: ship at least being like, oh, she like tests these 242 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: these chemicals to make sure they're safe for something. You 243 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: have like a three sentence summary of like what she 244 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: does down that's that's pretty bad. 245 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 2: Except every time she's here. So I went into lapter 246 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: start testing. Wohoa, whoa, whoa wall, Come on the old 247 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: wife yapping again. I just want to have fun. Let's 248 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: go to chuck e Cheese with my fun money. Yeah, 249 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: that's what he really wants, man, you know what he needs. Actually, 250 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: I have a way to solve all this man's problems. Right, 251 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: he's having trouble focusing. Yes, he said he can't pay 252 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: attention to his wife yapping all the time. All right, 253 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: get a phone, Get one of those helmets. Yeah, put 254 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 2: it on your wife, and then get a phone attachment 255 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: that puts subway surfer right next to her, and so 256 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: you can pay attention. So he has, you know, now 257 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: you can look at some way surper while his wife 258 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: is telling him about whatever she does. And now while 259 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: we actually listen, Google Glass is just paying Maybe he 260 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: just needs that for his whole life. Whole life, dude, 261 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: anytime he's listening to anyone. Yeah, that's a great solution 262 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: to welcome smart. 263 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: It's something to do with the environmental testing like soil, water, 264 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: et cetera. It's definitely not incredibly dangerous, but it involves chemicals, 265 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: so there's always some danger. I mean just say that, 266 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: like she does environmental testing on things like soil and water. 267 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: Better, that's better. Come on, you know something bigger, gueasy, squeezy, 268 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 2: chemic glee, Come on and some info. 269 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: There are many conversations in general about her possible promotion, 270 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: mostly about upgrading cars and electronics. It was never really 271 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: anything detailed beyond that. I don't actually know why my 272 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: parents never mentioned it. I should probably ask them at 273 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: some point. Our kids do have friends in school, though 274 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: in these few weeks they never really talk about anything 275 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,359 Speaker 1: with me. It was like everyone was walking on eggshells 276 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: where I was concerned. 277 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: My son did. 278 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Say that we needed a school with a good soccer team, though, 279 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: so he had some opinions after the argument, So I 280 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: guess the kids are weighing in a little bit if 281 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: they want to move. When my parents got the kids, 282 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: she stormed up to our room and I went and. 283 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: Hid in the basement. 284 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: I was definitely being a coward, but I also wanted 285 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: both of us to calm down. 286 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: This guy is such a wet noodle. He's a little 287 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: wet noodle row. He's a fun size wet noodle. 288 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: If you ask me, His wife could do so much better. 289 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: Oh yes, I did feel silly asking Tumblr this. Oh boy, 290 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: he asked Tumblr. But I've been here since twenty ten. 291 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: I was falling back on a previous safe haven. The 292 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: next conversation did not happen that next morning. She was 293 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: acting like I was perfectly fine with everything and we 294 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: weren't arguing in the first place. It was weird, But 295 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: after the argument in front of our kids and venting here, 296 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: I had decided that I would. 297 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: Support my wife. If my parents knew we were moving. 298 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: I was clearly in the wrong. Another small this was, 299 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: of course, when things started breaking down. Buckle up, because 300 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: this is going to get stupid. And if you think 301 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: this sounds like a bad story, you'd try living it. 302 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: Within days of the announcement, we had a realtor looking 303 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: at houses for us near what will be her new office. 304 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: She was planning on being the one to do a 305 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: final walk through after we picked a house via photos, 306 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: so she could do multitasking and get acclimated at the 307 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: new job at the location. It was her suggestion, and 308 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: I didn't want to rock the boat. Any further conversations 309 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: between us were only about logistics at this point. 310 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: Wait so that you're not They're not talking anymore. 311 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: It sounds like the communication is breaking down. How we 312 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: would handle moving? When was my last day where the 313 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: kids were getting transferred to et cetera, et cetera. It 314 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: was very stilted, and anytime I would try to talk normally, 315 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: she would just ignore me. The next time that I 316 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: had one of her coworkers come in with her kids 317 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: bus's laptop at his workplace, the computer repair shop, the 318 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: screen took some kind of sports. 319 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: Ball to the face. 320 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: Basically, as I was filling out the intake form, she 321 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: asked me how our kids we're handling the transfer. 322 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: When I asked her. 323 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: What she meant, she clarified that she was talking about 324 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: the transfer request my wife put in to the office. 325 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: She said her promotion transferred her to so in other words, 326 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: Ope's wife placed the request to. 327 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: Move so she could have had the promotion where she was. Yes, WHOA, 328 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: that changes things. 329 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: It's a little different. He's a little bit different. 330 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: I told her that my wife. 331 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: Didn't put in a transfer request, but instead was given 332 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: a promotion that had a transfer as part of it. 333 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: She then told me my wife's had that promotion since 334 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: January a while ago, and recently put in a transfer 335 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: request that was approved. 336 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: Some of the fishy is going on.

We ain't looking the good so many right here. 338 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: That promotion included a hefty pay raise, which means she's 339 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: been getting that new money this whole time. When she left, 340 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: I checked our bank account on my phone and I 341 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: saw the same amount that she was always paid was 342 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: still what she was getting. I believe the coworker must 343 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: have been mistaken. But when I went home I spoke 344 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: to my wife about it. She told me that the 345 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: coworker was just jealous and she had been passed over 346 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: for the promotion and just wanted to start some drama 347 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: to add into our house. That seemed to break the 348 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: ice a bit, and I was able to apologize for 349 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: her for the misunderstanding and the argument. 350 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: She told me. 351 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: She accepted the apology and assumed that it was coming 352 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: because of how helpful and attentive I had been. 353 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: According to her, I was paying more attention than normal, 354 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: and she appreciated that.

This new attitude was the final nail. 393 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: We had started organizing things, throwing away and donating things 394 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: that we didn't remember even having, et cetera, et cetera, 395 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: all to prepare for the move.

She probably knows about as much about 426 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: my work as I do about hers. I also found 427 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: a few books that belonged to her mother. I figured 428 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: that I could start to mend the bridge. Her parents 429 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: never liked me, and to bring them the books. 430 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: You can't men that bridge.

Apparently she thought that she had lost them. 469 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: We did some stilted small talk over a late lunch, 470 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: and I asked how they felt about my wife's promotion 471 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: and their move.

She didn't tell me about relocating on purpose. 555 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: She's been poison I think her parents' thoughts of me 556 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: for years, and she's been lying to my parents and children. 557 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: She also told a coworker that started this thread that 558 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: I never listened to her and that the misunderstanding was 559 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: just another instance. 560 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: She told me. 561 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: She never thought so many things would come undone at once. 562 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: She's still planning on moving me and the kids are 563 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: not that's the end. Oh, I will say, Opie can 564 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: write a dang story. 565 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: Hey, you know you might be deadbeat in every other area, 566 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: but you know how to get those beats ready for 567 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: the story. So I guess Opie has made a move. 568 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: But my big question to you guys and everyone watching, 569 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: please share your thoughts down in the comments. How should 570 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: Opie move forward from here? 571 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean not going with the wife as a start, 572 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 2: he has a lot of AMMO to get full custody 573 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 2: of the kids. 574 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: Yep, alimony's gonna go crazy. Does he try to sue 575 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: for half the half of the. 576 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 2: House, Yeah, dude, I fuck man, Like I would, I would, 577 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: I would stay in the house. Opie keeps his job, 578 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 2: he gets some alimony from the wife, and then she 579 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: goes off and lives her new life and wherever. But 580 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: I mean, and then now he has like both steps 581 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: of parents to help take care of the kids. Hopefully 582 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: he can undo some of the lies that she's sown. 583 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: But the fact that it's like, wasn't what's crazy to 584 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: me is this wasn't just like a you know, one off, 585 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 2: one time cheating thing. This was her getting into this 586 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 2: relationship for years and then what's worse is it she 587 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: started to poison the idea of him to everyone else, 588 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: including the kids, for years. I think that's what's really fucked. 589 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: That's what's really fucked. Like she seems evil, Like that's 590 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 2: that's pretty evil master manipulator. So get away as far 591 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: as you can from her, and I think, like keep 592 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: the kids, and she can have visitation rights and she 593 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: can visit where you are anytime you want, or not 594 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 2: anytime she wants, but like anytime you want, anytime you 595 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: want her to come, yeah, you know you you will 596 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: control the gate. So I wonder he could probably get 597 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: like out And we're no. 598 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: Divorce lawyers or experts, but it might be some of 599 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: you watching have more insight, but like maybe he could 600 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: go kind of like a simpler, easier route, or does 601 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: he go full throttle and try to get fifty percent 602 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: of everything? Because think about this, he has the fact 603 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: that she started splitting her transactions, you know, open the 604 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: second bank account the guy you know had access to it. 605 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: There's all these like traceable things that are like there's 606 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: probably a lot of he said, she said, but there 607 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: are a lot of traceable things too. 608 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: He could like create a case for it. I think 609 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: he can get a lot. I think he can be 610 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: entitled to a lot. Does he go for it? I mean, 611 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 2: he's only got fun sized money, so I long got 612 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 2: fun sized money. Get those stacks high, dude, start that 613 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: new company, hit the gym one hundred percent, get strong 614 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: that op.

We are from this and and 617 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: you know from from this point. I think we're going 618 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: to become the best versions of ourselves by reading you 619 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: this next story. Let's do it.
