I'm fine, Okay. 179 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: This isn't about being a good sister anymore. It's about 180 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: being a good mother, a good wife, a protector of 181 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: my family's well being and my own sanity. But I'm torn. 182 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 3: My heart is conflicted. He is my brother and I 183 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: only want to see him succeed, But I also don't 184 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: want to see him homeless. I love him, but I 185 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: can no longer live with him. What should I do? 186 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: How do I go about getting him out of my home? 187 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: Is this grounds for low to no contact? 188 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 5: Help me? We have some comments. Did we read him 189 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 5: or you got anything? 190 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: No contact? 191 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: Come out, be a good mother and apologize to your kids. 192 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: Comment one, he needs to go. He should have been 193 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: gone a while ago. Your kids are seeing way too much, 194 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: hearing too much, and being subjected to things for all 195 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 3: these years. I understand he's your brother, but you have 196 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: to protect your family. I'd give him the money you've 197 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: saved and send him to rehab or homeless shelter. Sadly, 198 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 3: he will only be able to get better when he's ready, 199 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: and you unconsciously hold him back from getting to that 200 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: place by enabling him. Sorry to sound so harsh, but 201 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: I couldn't do this with my kids around. 202 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 5: Comment or two. I am saying this. 203 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: With all the love in the world, but he treats 204 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: you like crap and escalates each time because you enable 205 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: it to keep happening. 206 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 5: It's like parenting, but with an adult. 207 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 3: You say do your chores, and he doesn't because he 208 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: knows you will eventually get annoyed and do it yourself. 209 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: You try to implement a boundary, He bulldozes through it 210 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 3: and acts belligerent because he knows you have a family, 211 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 3: supports family mindset. 212 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 5: If you don't call the cops on. 213 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 3: Him to have him removed, take him out for a 214 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: lunch in a public space to explain that he is 215 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: no longer welcome in your home. Have Hubby change the 216 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: locks while you're out, and explain that until he makes 217 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 3: some serious changes, he won't be allowed to live with 218 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: you anymore. He is hurting your family and traumatizing your 219 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: kids and it ends. 220 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: Now. 221 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 5: Give him the money you've saved and walk away. 222 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: He can't claim squatter's rights if he doesn't have access 223 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: to the property. Unfortunately, the nice and easy way doesn't 224 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: work with him with harmful people, and the last thing 225 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: you need is him to escalate from verbal to physical 226 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: violence against a member of your family. Yeah and op, 227 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: he actually responds to that one. That's actually a good 228 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: idea to have him away from the home while implementing 229 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 3: new boundaries. Changing the locks is a great idea. What 230 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 3: do I do about his stuff while we are out 231 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 3: to lunch? And I'm not taking any word from anyone 232 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: as harsh or as a dig at me. I know 233 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: I've played a big part in enabling I just absolutely 234 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 3: hate confrontation. He does bulldoze through everything. Last year, from 235 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: January twenty four to January fifteenth, twenty five, he lived 236 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: with our mom and did the same thing to her. 237 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: He randomly showed up to my place at the end 238 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: of February after living in his truck for about a month. 239 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 3: It started with him coming over for dinners and leaving. 240 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 3: Then he started sleeping in his truck in my driveway 241 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: and genuinely my heart broke for him. I let him 242 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 3: sleep in our guest room once and he just never left. 243 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: I have tried talking to him, have left him letters. 244 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: Usually the only time he almost listens, he sulks for 245 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: a day or two, never apologizes, never changes, and goes 246 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 3: right back to drink. 247 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 7: Guys, you're enabling that. 248 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 249 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 7: Ope, I know you're part of our community, but this 250 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 7: is the hard truth, and we've said it.

The reason my 268 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 4: wife is a bridesmaid is because she had a falling 269 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: out with their two of her best friends already and 270 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: has begged my wife to step in because we family, 271 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: and my wife obliged, but said every meeting she's been to, 272 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: my sister is having a meltdown over everything from the 273 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 4: catering to not being just right or the colors or 274 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 4: shade too dark.

She didn't 282 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: want the scars in the pictures. 283 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: No, that's that's just like way too concerned about like 284 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: a picture perfect wedding. There, that's insane. 285 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: This one's getting divorced. 286 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: I can already tell I can already tell. 287 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 5: Ope, So that's crazy. 288 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: If you're like that worried about material things about. 289 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: Your pictures, looking for like pictures over friends and family. 290 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. 291 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 4: At her first cake testing, she got so mad she 292 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 4: threw a plate at an assistant, causing the bakery to 293 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: drop her as a client, and she got caught in 294 00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: a harmful act. 295 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: Hey, that's the biggest red flag there is. Do not 296 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 3: marry her. Do not get married to her. 297 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 4: Led to some fines, a nice settlement for the assistant, 298 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 4: and some community service. 299 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: Dude, this might be number one right here. This might 300 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: be her. 301 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 5: That's insane. Oh my god. 302 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, just an absolute bridezilla. 303 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: Honestly, if I was an immediate family I would have 304 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 4: probably noped out of her wedding so much sooner. 305 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: Now. 306 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: The reason we're both dropping is due in part to 307 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 4: the fact that my sister wanted a child free wedding. 308 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: My wife and I are not opposed to this. 309 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 4: We have a tother for mel and he would in 310 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 4: no way be patient enough to sit quietly through the wedding, 311 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: not to mention, one of us would always have to 312 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 4: be hypervilegent in watching him. There were other guests who 313 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 4: were apparently peeved over the child free wedding. My wife 314 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 4: and I were not. It was great. We arranged for 315 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 4: our son to get to my sister in law's for 316 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 4: the weekend. We would have a blast with Chris cousins, 317 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 4: four of them, two through a and my family and I, 318 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: outside our wedding duties, would have a mini vacation to ourselves. 319 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: When when in my book, okay. 320 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: So yeah, when it comes down to the child free stuff, 321 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: like ultimately that's whoever's getting married's choice, and if you're 322 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: just gonna have to accept the fact that if you 323 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: do that rule, some people might not come. 324 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, but like you can't really like that that's. 325 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: Their imagine myself out of the child free wedding. 326 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 5: I think it's crazy, but some people just don't want. 327 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: It makes sense to know the venue is a four 328 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: to five hour drive away from where we live. At 329 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 4: one of those all inclusive resorts. But then last week, 330 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 4: my wife came home after an emergency meeting with my sister, 331 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 4: visibly upset. She didn't want to tell me what happened 332 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 4: at first, but I victually got it out of her. 333 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 4: Apparently my sister got in her head that she would 334 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 4: like to have some children around, but not at the 335 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 4: ceremony or reception, just as props for photos. 336 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 5: That's so what what? 337 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 4: So she wanted us to bring our son just for that, 338 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 4: then asked my wife, And when my wife asked what 339 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 4: we would do with our son when he wasn't being 340 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 4: used in the photos, my sister just shrugged and told 341 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 4: her to figure it out, offering such amazing helpful suggestions 342 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: as just hire a babysitter or just leave them in 343 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 4: your room with an iPad for hours on end. That 344 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 4: the resort itself doesn't offer babysitting services. There is a 345 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 4: kid's club, but we would have to leave pretty early 346 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 4: in the reception to pick them up before they closed. 347 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 4: This was apparently unacceptable to my sister. Eventually, my sister 348 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 4: got agitated and had another meltdown. She became verbally harmful, 349 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 4: accusing my wife of sabotaging her wedding because she was jealous. 350 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: My sister is probably referring to the fact that my 351 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 4: wife and I got married during the VID instead of waiting, 352 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 4: we just wanted to be married. We have a courthouse 353 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 4: wedding over zoom. 354 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: It was great. Oh. 355 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 4: My sister apparently also threatened to tell me that my 356 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 4: wife was cheating. 357 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure why. 358 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 4: My sister thinks this would work, since my wife and 359 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: I both work from home and we spend like ninety 360 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 4: nine percent of our time together. Then my sister started 361 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 4: talking trash about our baby, which is when my wife 362 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 4: promptly got up and left. Now I've tolerated a lot 363 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 4: of bs for my sister over her wedding, but I 364 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: was not going to tolerate her my wife and kid. 365 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 4: I texted my sister a very angry, profanely filled message 366 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 4: and told her my wife and I were both dropping out, 367 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: so good luck. I then called my parents to tell 368 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 4: them what was happening. Dude, beautiful execution, great, beautiful. 369 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 5: Oh are you coming out a baby? 370 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 371 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 4: And your baby's got a big head, right, he says, 372 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 4: looking for his next meal. 373 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 6: He's just chilling. 374 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 5: He doesn't know what's going on and care. 375 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 6: About your wedding. 376 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: You probably just started walking. Hey, I'm walking here, en, 377 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm walking here, dude. Wild. 378 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 4: They weren't happy with my sister, but they asked me 379 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 4: to reconsider since. 380 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: Your sister is under a lot of stress and it 381 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: would ruin her wedding. 382 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 4: Dude, not my freaking problem. Other family members and friends 383 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 4: also called. Once again, I was told how much stress 384 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 4: my sister was under and that she didn't mean it. 385 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: My sister sent. 386 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 4: Me a apologizing the I'm sorry your wife was offended rarity. 387 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 4: Then my parents offered to pay for an extra room 388 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 4: so my sister in law could come with her kids. 389 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: So we're just adapting to the terrible humans request. 390 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 4: Once that offer happened, everyone doubled down on bombarding me 391 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 4: with messages. In their eyes, the main issue was resolved. 392 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 4: My sister had apologized, my parents were now solving the 393 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 4: problem with my child, and all was right in the world. 394 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 4: But to me, it wasn't. My sister screamed at my 395 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 4: wife and insulted my child. Some of her insults were 396 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 4: incredibly vicious. I don't really care that my parents were 397 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 4: stepping up with the money. It's not about the money, 398 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 4: It's about the courtesy and respect. The things she said 399 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 4: to my wife and by my child are unacceptable, and 400 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 4: I will not subject to my wife and my child 401 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 4: to her presence again. 402 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 5: Good thank god. 403 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 4: I've told my parents that we're going no contact with 404 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 4: my sister time being, and if they push it, they 405 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: will not be seeing their grandchild either. As of now, 406 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 4: I just have everyone muted and blocked at least until 407 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 4: after the wedding. If it still happens, I'm not sure 408 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 4: how hard it will be for her to find another officiant. 409 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 4: I don't think she actually needs another bridesmaids for another 410 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 4: for other than aesthetics.

Apparently, 510 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 4: the fight turned violent as my sister started throwing things. 511 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 4: One of the things my throne, was a jewelry box, 512 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 4: which broke when it hit the wall and revealed some 513 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 4: pills that were hidden in the little compartment. 514 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: It just keeps unfolding. There's more and more. 515 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 4: This led to a lot of concern on the fiance's part. 516 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 4: A thorough search of the apartment in her car and 517 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 4: revealed that my sister was a. 518 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: Zan Oh. 519 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, the wedding got canceled. On Monday, I went 520 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 4: with my brother to get the rest of my sister's 521 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 4: stuff from the apartment. The fiance apologized to me. I 522 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 4: straight up told him I probably would have re evaluated 523 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: the wedding, which he got harmful with. The girl at 524 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 4: the bakery. Admitted that he had some misgivings for months now, 525 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 4: but stayed in because he felt he was stuck. It 526 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 4: was a classic sunk costs fallacy. 527 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 5: He just keeps coming up today. 528 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 4: It gets to the best of us, ma'am. My sister 529 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 4: is living at my parents' house currently. Her job suspended 530 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 4: her when they found out she was Zan. She's a 531 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 4: lab assistant at a pharmacyceutical company. Oh They told her 532 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 4: she would be fired if she doesn't go to rehab. 533 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: Her fiance also wants her to go to rehab and 534 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 4: therapy or even discussing a possible future whole leakal. My 535 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 4: sister is resisting despite my parents' best attempts. I forwarded 536 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 4: the messages my wife and I got for my censor 537 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 4: since we've muted her. There were one hundred of very 538 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 4: deranged messages. It probably won't work, but they may be 539 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 4: able to convince a judge to issue a psychoagic cold 540 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 4: on her until she actually goes into rehab. Though I 541 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: will remain uninvolved. If she does go, I will help 542 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 4: my parents with paperwork and navigating doctors and such. 543 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: To know. My family is Taiwanese. 544 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: My parents can speak English well enough to get by, 545 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 4: but unless three rehab center can provide an interpreter, I'm 546 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 4: willing to go help with this. On another note, my 547 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 4: parents and sister had booked a very large exclusive suite 548 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 4: at the Resist. The room has multiple bedrooms, a living room, 549 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 4: a dining room, and even a kitchen. As an apology, 550 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 4: they offered the room to me and my wife. So 551 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: on ironic twist, I'm writing this update from the wedding. 552 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: Venue that I had intended to avoid this weekend. 553 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 5: That's kind of crazy, though, that's a little crazy. 554 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 1: I like it. 555 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 6: I'm here for it. 556 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 4: Since the room was massive, we invited sister law and 557 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 4: her kids to come with us. Brother in law can't 558 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 4: get off work, so he'll join us over the weekend. 559 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 4: My brother is also here with his fiance. Turns out 560 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 4: she's pregnant. I jokingly asked my brother if he considered 561 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 4: announcing it at her sister's wedding. He was suspicially vagued 562 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 4: about his plans, saying that nothing would have happened if 563 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: sister behaved. On that note, I'm glad my brother was 564 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 4: still financially dependent on our parents when I got married. 565 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 4: That is wild.

While the substances may be a part 589 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 4: of the problem, I don't think they're entirely to blame. 590 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 4: She probably has a long road of rehab and therapy 591 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 4: ahead of her. 592 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: Hit her crap together.

Emma was 609 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: my rock for years as I battled self hate and 610 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 3: depression due to growing up in a small conservative town 611 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 3: as not only a person of color, but a closeted sapphig. 612 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 3: Emma did not know I was STAFFIK just knew that 613 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 3: I was unhappy, never staying in long relationships, self isolation, 614 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 3: and later I developed anorexia. Emma was the one who 615 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 3: suggested we go to an out of state college and 616 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 3: later suggested we move out of state too. I've gotten 617 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 3: much better since then, and for that I genuinely thank her. 618 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 3: Though about two years ago, Emma contracted herpies from some 619 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 3: guys she slept with, and it has been very hard 620 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 3: for her to land a boyfriend since then, and it's 621 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: made her very lonely. She hasn't told her family or 622 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: friends about it because she doesn't want to be seen 623 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 3: as gross. Due to this, I haven't really put myself 624 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 3: in the dating field and have put off coming out though. 625 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 3: About six months ago, I met this girl at a 626 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 3: craft store, long curly hair, dressed in all black with 627 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 3: big eyeliner and ruby lipstick. I couldn't stop staring at her, 628 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 3: and I admit when she smiled at me, I kind 629 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 3: of followed her around the store. 630 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 5: I know, creepy. 631 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: I eventually worked up the courage to just ask her 632 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 3: for her number, and she gave it to me. 633 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 5: I was so excited. 634 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 3: I started texting her that night, and since then we 635 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 3: have been hanging out a ton. 636 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 5: I think she likes me back. 637 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: I was going to ask her out, but since I 638 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 3: lived with Emma, I decided I should come out since 639 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 3: I will be bringing her around if the girl says yes. 640 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 3: So after work I sat her down and told her 641 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 3: I was sappok. I said all the anguish I went 642 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 3: through growing up because of my self hate. How I 643 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: wish I could have told her earlier, but I never 644 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 3: found the right time. 645 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 5: But now that I was in love with someone. 646 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: I felt like I should tell her that she was 647 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: the one person I trusted with this information. She just 648 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 3: stared at me, shocked for a few seconds, and then 649 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 3: her face turned from shocked to disgust. She jumped back 650 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 3: and accused me of being a pervert and how I 651 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 3: was gross for being around her so much, knowing I 652 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 3: was attracted to the same gender, even mentioning how she's 653 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: gotten changed around me and I'm no better than some 654 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: creepy man. I tried explaining I had no romantic feelings 655 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 3: for her and I honestly had a crush on someone else. 656 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 3: She wouldn't buy it and locked herself in her room. Later, 657 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 3: my phone started ringing off the hook, and to my surprise, 658 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 3: it was tons of messages from my family and our 659 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 3: friend group, either calling me closet slurs or asking if 660 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: it was true that I liked Emma. 661 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 5: My mother even called to scream at. 662 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 3: Me a few times and apparently I'm disowned. 663 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 5: Oh my god. 664 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,479 Speaker 3: I started banging on the door and told her why 665 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 3: the heck she outed me to everyone, and she just 666 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 3: started calling me a pervert again. So I was like, oh, okay, fine, 667 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 3: you want to play fine. I had a pick of 668 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 3: her diagnosis and sent it to her parents and our 669 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 3: friend group. According to the only friend who didn't crap 670 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 3: on me, people are talking more about Emma than me 671 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 3: because she still shares stuff even though she has herpes. 672 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 3: Now they are grossed out and are accusing her of 673 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 3: trying to infect them with her disease, along with some 674 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 3: other shaming. Now I'm looking for a new apartment and 675 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 3: I'm still planning to ask the girl out this week. 676 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: But I was told by Emma's parents that I ruined 677 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 3: her reputation and labeled their daughter dirty. I feel bad, 678 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 3: but I felt like she deserved it, though I know 679 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 3: that a disease and my sapphicness are two different things. 680 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 3: So I'm wondering if I was really wrong to do that. 681 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 3: And we have an edit since some had asked. I'll 682 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 3: make another edit tomorrow asking her out. Tonight, I made 683 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 3: reservations at this nice tie place she's been wanting to try. 684 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 3: Then I'm going to take her to the boardwalk and 685 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 3: ask her out there as to not put her on 686 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 3: the spot in front of a ton of people. See 687 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 3: all then, and I hope it goes well and we 688 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 3: have an edit. A few hours later, I'm about to 689 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 3: go pick up Ruby. A commenter has been calling my 690 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 3: crush Ruby, and I think that's pretty cute, so that's 691 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 3: what I'm going to be referring to her as. Anyway, 692 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 3: for some contact since I was asked, Emma is staying 693 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 3: with a family friend who lives around here because her 694 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,959 Speaker 3: parents don't want us fighting. My lease is up soon, 695 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 3: and hopefully I've locked down something by then. At least 696 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 3: i'll be able to be alone now. Anyways, wish me 697 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 3: luck and we have some relevant comments. Comment to one, 698 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 3: everyone sucks here, but you less than others. Emma is 699 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 3: the a hole for outing you, and Emma's family are 700 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 3: a holes for saying contracting herpies makes her a dirty person. 701 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 3: You retaliated against Emma in a way that you knew 702 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 3: would hurt her, which is perfectly understandable, but still a 703 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 3: whole move. She blew up your life, though, and that's 704 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 3: not fair at all. I know you'll be okay. Hearing 705 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 3: slurs from your family and friends is terrible and I'm 706 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 3: sorry that happened, but they revealed themselves as a holes 707 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 3: and Opie replies, Honestly, it was pretty surreal experience. I 708 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 3: thought maybe they'd be mad but completely disowning me. I'm 709 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 3: happy I came out after my parents paid for my 710 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 3: college because just wow, Honestly, I feel like I stooped 711 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 3: down to her level by doing so. It kind of 712 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 3: made me feel like I was deserving of the hate 713 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 3: and that I didn't deserve to be able to come out. Though, 714 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: I'm going to try to push through these thoughts and 715 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 3: have a successful relationship. Thank you so much for your 716 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 3: kind words. In reply to a closet guard commenter, the 717 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 3: commenter was heavily downvoted, and they said I didn't see 718 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 3: her romantically and I was in the closet. There literally 719 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 3: was no reason for me to be weird about it. 720 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 3: I stated that she was essentially my sister. I'd never 721 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 3: think of her that way. Just because I'm sappik doesn't 722 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 3: mean I'm going to be attracted to every woman. Plus 723 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 3: Saffix still use locker rooms with straight women, and legit, 724 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 3: nothing happens. You make no sense. Also, I didn't deliver 725 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 3: get into nothing. My parents were pestering me about not 726 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 3: dating boys, so when a boy asked me out, I 727 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 3: just said yes. But I broke up with him because 728 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 3: I didn't like leading him on. It's not about keeping appearances, 729 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 3: it was about safety. The things that were said to me, 730 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 3: the threats I got, you can't even imagine. You have 731 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 3: no idea what it's like to be forced into a 732 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 3: role and have no way of getting out. I only 733 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 3: came out to her because I felt safe. Instead, she 734 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 3: put me in an unsafe situation, put all my business 735 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 3: on the table with added lies. Also, I came to 736 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 3: her saying I was in love with another woman. What 737 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 3: told her that I was into her? 738 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 5: Nothing? She just made it up. Comment her not the 739 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 5: a hole. 740 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 3: I find it very interesting that her first reaction was 741 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 3: discussed about you possibly being attracted to her, which is 742 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 3: so typically ignorant. She even told your friends that you're 743 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 3: into her? Like, how self absorbed is that? News flash, 744 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 3: saffix aren't attracted to every woman they see, and buys 745 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 3: aren't attracted to everything. Ohpi responds, Honestly, that's what surprised 746 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 3: me the most, Like the fact that she assumed I 747 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 3: was crushing on her. I have never acted in that 748 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 3: manner towards her. I feel like a lot of the 749 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 3: flak I'm getting from family and friends is because she 750 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 3: spinned some weird story to actually make me look like 751 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 3: a creep. My friend, who is still talking to me, 752 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 3: told me she said that she's describing me as some 753 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 3: locker room peeping tom. This doesn't help that I was 754 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 3: an athlete in high school, so I had to be 755 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 3: in the locker room with other women. I can only 756 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 3: imagine what's being said about me. Another commenter says, soft 757 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 3: not the a whole, basically because you did the right. 758 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 5: Thing for the wrong reasons. 759 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 3: Sure, outing someone's disease, health issues, whatever like that is 760 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: generally a wiener move, And granted I do have a 761 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 3: soft spot for petty revenge and consequences. 762 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 5: But she still shares stuff, and Opie. 763 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 3: Responds, yeah, I kept trying to get her to stop 764 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 3: sharing stuff with people, but she said she's on the medication, 765 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 3: so it's okay. I don't care, though I keep all 766 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 3: my cups and bowls in my room and my toothbrush. 767 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 3: Not that I didn't trust her, but it only takes 768 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 3: one mess up, and she was taking anything seriously. Commenter says, 769 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 3: what was Emma's reaction to being outed as spicy related 770 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 3: with an STI? 771 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 5: Opie says, she called me a big old B word, 772 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 5: among other things. 773 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,479 Speaker 3: She also said she was glad she had herpies because 774 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 3: I probably would have tried to r word her. Oh 775 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 3: my god, genuinely insane. She's staying at a relative's house 776 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,879 Speaker 3: who lives around here until our lease runs out. And 777 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 3: a commenter was down voted everyone sucks here, Like the 778 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 3: above poster said, you would have eventually come out. Seriously, 779 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 3: you would have. She just got you there faster. It 780 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 3: was effed up, but it would have happened. Her medical 781 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 3: diagnosis was her business. In some places, you can get 782 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 3: in trouble for what you did. You should have picked 783 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 3: something else if you needed the tip for tap Opie replies, 784 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 3: what other secret was I going to pit? She literally 785 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 3: had people wanting to unalive me before I sent. 786 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 5: Out that she had herpies. 787 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 3: They still want to unlive me, but they are focusing 788 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 3: more on her sharing things even though she knows she 789 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 3: has it. You're mentioning people who don't know they have 790 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 3: it and still share. She knows she has it and 791 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 3: still sharing stuff. Also, I know how common herpes is. 792 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: That's why I didn't give an f when she told 793 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 3: me she had it. I just get annoyed she had 794 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 3: active infections and tried sharing drinks with me. That's why 795 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 3: she went on the meds, because she had both types 796 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 3: and they were constant. Other than that, didn't care. 797 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 6: Though. 798 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 3: The community I live in is super religious and judgy, 799 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 3: so all they hear is herpes. So since they're getting 800 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 3: violent with me, they can be disgusted with her. They 801 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 3: aren't going to hurt her over it, but they will 802 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: hurt me, which is why I will never be able 803 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 3: to see my family or friends again. Also, there's no 804 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 3: legal trouble I can get in in my state for 805 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 3: doing that because I didn't tell her job. I'm pretty 806 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 3: sure she can get into more trouble for pestering me, 807 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 3: yelling slurs, and putting me in a potentially fatal situation. 808 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 3: Inciting violence on an sapphic person kind of sounds like 809 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 3: a hate crime. 810 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 5: I won't lie. 811 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 3: Saying I was going to eventually come out is screwed up. 812 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 3: This isn't like something you just do like I can 813 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 3: be her overcoming out. I was supposed to be able 814 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 3: to weigh the risk and benefits, but she took that 815 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 3: away from me because of how dangerous it is. Some 816 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 3: people never come out and stay in the closet their 817 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 3: whole life. And the commenter says and telling also helped 818 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 3: reduce the negative reactions to the private information Emma revealed. 819 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 3: Opie's mom disowned Opie for this. I'd say if Emma 820 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 3: started the fire, Opie can use her to reduce it. 821 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 3: Opie responds, that's exactly what happened. A good chunk of 822 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 3: people who were threatening to show up to my apartment 823 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 3: and unlive me are now upset with Emma, especially from 824 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 3: what I hear. Her brother and sister in law are 825 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 3: the most mad because she has been kissing up on 826 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 3: their baby. 827 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 5: Like last year. 828 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 3: She had been on the medication, no active infections and 829 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 3: it wasn't on the mouth, so the baby is fine, 830 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 3: but they don't understand how herpes works. Honestly, my town's 831 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 3: ignorance to everything is really shooting her in the foot 832 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 3: right now, she still could have been shedding the virus 833 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 3: and could have unalived the baby. Oh damn, I thought 834 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 3: it was just newborn's it otlives. The baby was seven 835 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 3: months at the time. The baby doesn't seem to have 836 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 3: contracted it luckily, but dang yeah, then they aren't overreacting, 837 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 3: especially if she could have potentially unlive to their baby. 838 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 3: Though to be honest, I just think they didn't want 839 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 3: their kid to seem dirty because most of their comments 840 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 3: consisted of them saying that. 841 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 5: She tried to spread her STDs to a child. 842 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 3: And another commenter says, you're in love. Oh please, you're infatuated. 843 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 3: There is nothing wrong with that, but you're not in love. 844 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 3: You don't even know this chick, and Opie says, I mean, 845 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 3: six months is a decent amount of time, but fair. 846 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 3: She's just the first crush I've been able to pursue 847 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 3: in a ever so, and we have an update. So, 848 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 3: as I stated in my last post, Emma is now 849 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 3: staying with a relative in our area till our lease ends. 850 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 3: The actual update on this is this morning, Emma's parents 851 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 3: were at my door. They flew out because Emma is 852 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 3: refusing to step back into our apartment. So I let 853 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 3: them come inside because I wasn't about to hold Emma's 854 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 3: stuff hostage, but I did something stupid. See, they didn't 855 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 3: really want to speak to me, which is fine, but 856 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 3: I decided I just to just wait in my room 857 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 3: until they left. Me and Emma have an emergency fund 858 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 3: that had about five k in it. I put roughly 859 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 3: two point seven k they took it the entire thing 860 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 3: I noticed. I called them to give me back my 861 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 3: money because not all of it is hers, and they 862 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 3: told me that I earned more than Emma and this 863 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 3: was compensation for ruining her reputation. I was like, so 864 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 3: it's okay that she tried to screw me over first. 865 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 3: Their response, Emma did not choose this disease, you chose yours. 866 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 3: I didn't even respond that. I just hung up. Honestly, 867 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 3: I don't even care. They didn't take anything else other 868 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 3: than the money. I genuinely don't want to see them anymore. 869 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 3: Emma also has been cut off from her siblings because 870 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 3: they have kids and she was kissing the babies without 871 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 3: telling the parents, without letting the parents know of her diagnosis. 872 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 3: She also usually was not taking proper precautions during an 873 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 3: active outbreak. 874 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 5: So yeah, so now. 875 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 3: None of her siblings want her around them because they 876 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 3: feel betrayed. Though on a lighter note, ME and Ruby 877 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,280 Speaker 3: are officially dating. A commenter kept referring to her as Ruby, 878 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 3: and honestly, I think that matches. We went out to 879 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 3: a fancy tie spot, watched a movie, and then I 880 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 3: took her to the water at the edge of the city. 881 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 3: I had some stupid playlists set up. I was trying 882 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 3: to tone it down, but I couldn't too excited. I 883 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 3: told her how beautiful I thought she was and how 884 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 3: I enjoyed spending time with her, and if she was 885 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 3: okay with it, if I could take. 886 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,840 Speaker 5: Her out on a date sometime. 887 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 3: I had a whole speech prepared, but one of the 888 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 3: comments told me I should be simple, not scare her. 889 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 5: She laughed at me. She said this was the first date, 890 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 5: so that was a yes. I dropped her. 891 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 3: Off at her house and she gave me a kiss 892 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,240 Speaker 3: before she left, and I'm so happy. 893 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 5: I've never kissed a girl before. Ah. 894 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, I actually give zero craps about the money. 895 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 3: I just want them out so I can start my 896 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 3: new life. Anyway, that was all. Thanks a lot for 897 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 3: the advice and support, and we have a relevant comment. 898 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,919 Speaker 3: To be honest, I'm pissed by the fact they stole 899 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 3: your money, regardless, I guess this was a good ending 900 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 3: after all. Good for you, op and Opie says, I'll recover. 901 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 3: I have my own separate savings. But this, honestly was 902 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 3: just rubbing salt in the wound. I mean, yay, for 903 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 3: you and Ruby, that's so exciting. Congratulations and yeah, I 904 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 3: mean if you're good with it, then everyone's out of 905 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 3: every bad situation. And like I said, you have a 906 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 3: good head on your shoulders, and I hope that you 907 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 3: can find a good support system. 908 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 9: I asked my daughter for another chance, but she won't 909 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 9: give in no sugar warning mentions of verbal abuse. I'm 910 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 9: a father of four, three girls and one boy, and 911 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 9: I have a very complicated relationship with my youngest daughter, Mattie. 912 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 9: Summarize the best I am able. Her mother and I 913 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 9: have been through a lot while she was growing up. 914 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 9: Her mother is bipolar depression and from when Maddie was 915 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 9: about five to eleven, either was not properly medicated or 916 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 9: did not take her mets. By the way, this comes 917 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 9: from swimming Archer, thirty six, twenty seven and if you 918 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 9: want to spit your own stories, go to the r 919 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 9: slash Okay storytime separate it. As a side note, I 920 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 9: have autism and I have just now recently come to 921 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 9: accept this fact. It has truly limited my ability to communicate. 922 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 9: I traveled for work on the weekdays, so I was 923 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 9: not home to help care for my four kids. This 924 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 9: unfortunately resulted in a lot of traumatic events that I 925 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 9: wish did not occur. Her mental health made our relationship 926 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 9: extremely strained, and Mattie was exposed to a lot of 927 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 9: arguments and bitter fights between us. I do admit that 928 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 9: we fought more than was healthy, and she saw a 929 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 9: few times talks of divorce. We moved twice before Mattie 930 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 9: was fifteen as a result of my wife's mental outbursts. 931 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,760 Speaker 9: Huge event, though, was when I found out my wife 932 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 9: emotionally cheated on me with a coworker. I was so angry, 933 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 9: and I admit that I took it out upon my 934 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 9: daughters and son for the next four years. I do think, though, 935 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 9: that this was a better solution than the alternative leaving them. 936 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 9: In short, these tensions produced a lot of bad environments 937 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 9: for Mattie and her siblings, resulting in bitterness and anger. 938 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 6: The issue becomes is now that Mattie is. 939 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 9: Twenty and she has grown extremely angry about her upbringing. 940 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 9: She's home for the summer and she treats us horribly 941 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 9: most of the time we were around her. It's quite 942 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 9: honestly like we are walking on eggshells with her. She 943 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 9: constantly brings up traumatic events she went through while my 944 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 9: wife was mentally ill, such as my wife threatening self 945 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 9: harm or the trauma she suffered from my yelling throughout 946 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 9: the years. I am not saying she cannot bring this up, 947 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 9: but my wife and I have undergone three years of 948 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 9: therapy to fix our relationship, and we have moved so 949 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 9: far past her child. 950 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 6: In teen years. 951 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 9: This all came to a head three days ago when 952 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 9: Mattie told us that she did not feel like we 953 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,720 Speaker 9: listened to her. She was psychoanalyzing the way I replied 954 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 9: to certain things as if she was justifying why she 955 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 9: felt unseen. I told her that she just missed her 956 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 9: college friends and then we aren't a substitute for it. 957 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 9: She denied it, and she started to speak about the 958 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,760 Speaker 9: last year and how she felt unseen. I was honestly 959 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,840 Speaker 9: fed up because we have been trying our best to 960 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 9: form a new relationship with her after her childhood, and 961 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 9: I told. 962 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 6: Her it was bs. 963 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: Oh God. 964 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 9: This led to a huge fight where Mattie claimed that 965 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 9: we mistreated her entire life through verbalis and also being 966 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 9: exposed to wife's mental health. She claims that I was 967 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 9: not healthy and treated them poorly, despite the fact that 968 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 9: she was better off than ninety percent. 969 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 6: Of kids financially. 970 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 1: Boy, you had food on your table. 971 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 9: Who cares if I was screaming at you and telling 972 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 9: you that I was divorcing your mom. I understand where 973 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 9: she's coming from, and I apologize to her for it, 974 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 9: but I told her that I will not beg. 975 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: For her forgiveness. 976 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 9: Oh God, I admitted to some of the verbal but 977 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 9: I refused to sit there and say she was mistreated 978 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 9: for her entire life. She got really upset at this 979 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 9: and began to yell and cry. I told her that 980 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 9: she was not recognizing that she also made mistakes when 981 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 9: she was growing up. You child, when you were eleven, 982 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 9: you made a mistake. I, the adult, recognized that you, 983 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 9: at eleven years old, made mistakes. She was a freaking child, 984 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 9: and she yelled that even if she did, she was 985 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 9: a minor and was not responsible, as I was the parent. 986 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 9: At this point, I asked her to do family therapy, 987 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,879 Speaker 9: and she refused on the basis that she was a kid. 988 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 9: My wife turned her private therapy sessions into family therapy. 989 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 9: She would talk to her therapist about her behavior and 990 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 9: try to fix the relationship. It was meant to be helpful, 991 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,760 Speaker 9: but Maddie didn't see it that way and then stole 992 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 9: her therapist when she was eleven. As my wife begged 993 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 9: Maddie to see the same therapist as her despite her 994 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 9: initial refusal, I was done with her targeting my wife, 995 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 9: who at the time was extremely mentally unwell. 996 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,720 Speaker 1: Has anything changed I've done yet years of work. 997 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 9: I told her that she could take her ey or 998 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 9: out on me, not my wife.

Life fell perfect. 1168 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,319 Speaker 2: I trusted him completely and that's why it was so 1169 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 2: shocking when I found out he was in love with 1170 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 2: his much younger colleague. 1171 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 5: Yikes. 1172 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 2: By the way, this comes from Pretty Woman, and if 1173 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,640 Speaker 2: you want to submit your own story, go to the 1174 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 2: ours last thirty times. So she was around twenty four 1175 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 2: at the time. I won't get into the details of 1176 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,399 Speaker 2: how I found out, but the affair was well known 1177 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 2: at his workplace. When I confronted him, all he said 1178 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,839 Speaker 2: was I'm sorry. I tried really hard out to fall 1179 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 2: for her. He didn't seem sorry at all. It felt 1180 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 2: like he wanted me to leave him, so I did. 1181 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,799 Speaker 2: That was six years ago. Our son was four then, 1182 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 2: and it was the worst time in my life. I 1183 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 2: honestly don't know how I got through it, and because 1184 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 2: I was desperate, I wanted him to fight for me, 1185 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 2: to fight for our family, but he didn't. He was 1186 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,319 Speaker 2: quick to sign the divorce papers and didn't even fight 1187 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 2: for custody. 1188 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 1: It was as if he. 1189 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 2: Had started a new life and completely erased the old one. 1190 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,360 Speaker 2: Took years of therapy to feel normal again, to stop 1191 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,280 Speaker 2: checking that other woman's social media and co comparing myself 1192 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,360 Speaker 2: to her the fact that she's very pretty and charming. 1193 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,759 Speaker 1: It didn't help. His family loved. 1194 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 2: Her and is disgusting as it sounds. One of our 1195 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,880 Speaker 2: common friends even said out loud, I don't support cheating, 1196 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,239 Speaker 2: but I mean, look at her. I guess that's what 1197 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 2: everyone was thinking. This one was just stupid enough to 1198 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 2: devoice it out loud, so I had to cut off 1199 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 2: that group of friends too. They got married three years 1200 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 2: ago and now have a daughter, a picture perfect little family. 1201 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 2: The current arrangement is that our son stays with my 1202 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 2: ex on weekends and holidays, which works fine for the most. 1203 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 2: Last week, I found out my sister, twenty eight female, 1204 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,760 Speaker 2: has been in touch with my ex all of these years. 1205 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:06,399 Speaker 1: That would have. 1206 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 2: Been forgivable since they were close when we were married, 1207 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 2: but she saw him as a brother. But she's actually 1208 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 2: best friends with his new wife and she kept it 1209 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 2: from me for sixty years. I only found out because 1210 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 2: she left her phone at my house and I saw 1211 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 2: several texts from the wife. 1212 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: When I asked her about it. She just brushed it 1213 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 1: off and said it wasn't a big deal. It's not 1214 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:25,920 Speaker 1: a big deal, don't worry about it. 1215 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 2: I told her she can do what she wants, but 1216 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 2: I will be cutting her off completely. I was helping 1217 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 2: her pay college loans. Loll and I'm going now contact. 1218 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 2: She called me unreasonable. Instead, I'm being petty and unable 1219 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 2: to move on from something that happened a long time ago. 1220 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 2: She also said the wife is a lovely person and 1221 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 2: a good friend. She said she will be fed financially speaking, 1222 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 2: So I told her to go f herself. Somehow, my 1223 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 2: parents agree with her. Everyone in my family seems to 1224 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 2: think I'm a petty, scorned, bitter woman, which I probably am, 1225 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 2: and I need objective advice. 1226 00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 1: So am I the ahole who was not the A hole? 1227 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: There we go, Okay, great, le's get onto some relevant comments. 1228 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 1: Shall we comment? 1229 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 2: To Number one says, so your sister only cared to 1230 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,360 Speaker 2: have you pay her loans. That's why she kept it 1231 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 2: a secret, and that's why you shouldn't feel bad for 1232 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 2: cutting her off. She needs to ask your lovely X 1233 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,919 Speaker 2: and his wife to foot the bill from here on out. 1234 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 2: Not the a hole, Opie says, I know she clearly 1235 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,640 Speaker 2: chows a side during the divorce, but pretended to be 1236 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 2: on mine for the money. Common to Number two says, 1237 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 2: not the a hole. Someone who sides with a cheater 1238 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 2: is probably a cheater themselves. Maybe your sister can ask 1239 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 2: your ex and his wife to help instead, seeing how 1240 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 2: as they are best friends. 1241 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 1: Opie says. 1242 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 2: It's strange and I honestly don't know what level of 1243 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 2: pretty privileged this is, but no one seems to care 1244 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 2: what they did. They see two attractive people and act 1245 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,800 Speaker 2: like that justifies everything. The cheating doesn't matter because they're 1246 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 2: too easy to look at. If nothing else, it made 1247 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 2: it a lot easier for me to cut a lot 1248 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 2: of people out of my life. Comment here, Number three says, 1249 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 2: not the a hole, Opie. Honestly, I'm kind of shocked 1250 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 2: your sister hit her friendship with them from you. I mean, 1251 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 2: she's your sister. I once help my brother hide a 1252 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 2: surprise party from his wife. But this, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1253 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 2: this is different. Opie says. Yep, six years callous interactions 1254 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 2: and not a word com much. Number four says, not 1255 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 2: the a whole. Sooner or later, one of those perfect 1256 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 2: people will cheat again and you can eat some popcorn 1257 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 2: while all their friends take sides. Opie says, I don't 1258 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 2: doubt that, but honestly, this woman worships my ex. From 1259 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 2: what I've heard, she pursued him despite knowing he was married. 1260 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 2: He didn't resist. He is a despicable human being, and 1261 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 2: so is she. Number five says, why the heck do 1262 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 2: your parents agree with your sister? 1263 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 1: I hope you get some therapy to deal with all 1264 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 1: of the losers in your life. 1265 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 2: Not the ape, Obi says, my ex and my sister 1266 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 2: were pretty close to all those years we were married. 1267 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 2: I mean, she's known him since she was a kid, 1268 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 2: so they think it's not fair for me to want 1269 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 2: her to cut him off completely. I would have been 1270 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,720 Speaker 2: fine with that, but again, she's hid this for six years, 1271 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 2: and being close friends with his wife is just pushing 1272 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 2: it too far. And OPI responds to a comment about 1273 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 2: if her son knows what's going on, that's a great question. 1274 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 2: Has her ex and his wife tried to turn the 1275 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 2: sun against Sopi? Opie says, obviously not. Whatever our issues are, 1276 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 2: that's still his dad, who he adores. I am capable 1277 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 2: of setting aside my feelings for the sake of my child. 1278 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 2: They haven't. He enjoys his time with them and looks 1279 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 2: forward to it. I haven't thought that long into the future. 1280 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 2: He's ten now. Maybe when he's older, I'll tell him 1281 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 2: the truth. I don't know, to be honest. Right now, 1282 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,919 Speaker 2: he's happy with whatever arrangement we have. And we have 1283 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 2: an update. 1284 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 6: Oh dang, and. 1285 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 2: Little spoiler alert and involves talking to the sisters. So 1286 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 2: we actually went telling the child in an age appropriate 1287 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 2: way and agreed upon narrative together of the truth. 1288 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,120 Speaker 9: I think that if Ope and her ex come together 1289 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 9: and are like, Okay, I think we need to tell 1290 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 9: him what's going on, why this happened, and they both agree, yeah, 1291 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 9: age appropriate way. Yeah, but I think they have to 1292 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 9: like get on the same page. What's gonna be hard 1293 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 9: because he's like, they really don't like each other. 1294 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, for obvious reason. Yeah, updates. I spoke to my 1295 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 1: sister again. 1296 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 2: She apologized for reacting the way that she did last time, 1297 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 2: also for keeping it from me for all these years. 1298 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 2: She said she didn't tell me because she knew I 1299 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 2: would ask her to choose and she didn't want to 1300 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 2: be in that position. She said she never wanted to 1301 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 2: hurt me, but at the same time, she couldn't bring 1302 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,000 Speaker 2: herself to walk away from the people who had been 1303 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 2: there for her. She said, it never felt fair to 1304 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,920 Speaker 2: cut him off completely. Growing up, our parents were barely around. 1305 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 2: They were always busy with work, and for a long time, 1306 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 2: it was just me and my ex who were actually 1307 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 2: present in her life. He was like family to her. 1308 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 2: She brought up the accident she was in around five 1309 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 2: years ago. I knew about it, of course. She had 1310 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 2: multiple fractures, chematomas, in internal bruising. She was in the 1311 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 2: hospital for a while, in bedridden for weeks. I always 1312 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,480 Speaker 2: assumed our parents were taking. 1313 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 1: Care of her. 1314 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 2: I never asked, and I never really checked in. I 1315 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 2: was too busy trying to manage a recent divorce, a 1316 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 2: small child, a career, and whatever was left of my 1317 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 2: mental health. 1318 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,240 Speaker 1: She said. It was my ex's wife who stepped up. 1319 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 2: She took her to every appointment, picked up prescriptions, brought food, 1320 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 2: helped her move around, stayed with her when she couldn't 1321 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 2: be alone. At one point, she said, I know it hurts. 1322 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 1: But she was there. He was there. 1323 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 2: You weren't. You didn't even come to the hospital. I 1324 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 2: thought I was going to pass away and you didn't 1325 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 2: even go up, she cried.
