I am a twenty 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: eight year old female and I have a fifty seven 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: year old male mentor that I work with. He has 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: given me great advice and helped me through some obstacles 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: in my life. This is the first man that has 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: ever treated me with respect and did not try to 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: sleep with me. He is like a father figure to me, 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: and I call myself his play daughter. The only problem 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: is his wife. He knew that I did not have 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: the only problem is his wife. He knew that I 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: did not have any plans for Thanksgiving dinner, so he 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: invited me to his home. He never talked much about 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: his wife, but I figured she would be just as 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: sweet as he is. I took a bottle of moscato 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: with me as a thank you for the dinner invitation. 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: His wife greeted me, and she was polite, but not 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: very talkative. She was finishing up dinner while my play 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: dad and I had a glass of wine and watched 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: the game in the din. I must have given off 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: the wrong vibes because his wife seemed to get irritated 23 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: with me quickly. It didn't help that I had on 24 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: a crop top and leggings and they were dressed nicely. 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: The next thing I knew, his wife stormed into the 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: din and started going off. She started with what is 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: this play door to mess? It went downhill from there. 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: My play dad did not defend me. Instead, he fixed 29 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: me a to go plate and asked me to leave. 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: I was shocked and hurt, and I can't believe he 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: let her go off on us like that. I think 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: she owes me an apology. Now he's been distant at 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: work and I don't know what to say to him. 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: I hope that we can still have a cool relationship. 35 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley, how should I handle this? All? Right? Now? Listen, 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: I know you're young, You're only twenty eight years old, 37 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: but really, though you know the letter you wrote made 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: you sound pretty in sent and sincere in the fact 39 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: that you feel he's a play dad to you. I'm 40 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: going to give you the benefit of the of the 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: doubt for that, but you're going about this in the 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: entire wrong way. Okay, you don't go to another woman's 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: house dressed like that, a crop top and leggings. I 44 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: mean it was dinner. Come on, not just any dinner. 45 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: This was Thanksgiving dinner. People usually dress up, you know, 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: if they invite you out, you look presentable. Haven't you 47 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: heard the saying first impressions or lasting and all of that. 48 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: What was his wife supposed to think? Which you looking 49 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: like that? I mean, as my mother would say, fanning 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: around her husband. And then you go into the din 51 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: with him to watch the game, just the two of you. No, no, well, 52 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: why weren't you in the kitchen with her, you know, 53 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: at least trying to help her out? Why didn't you 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: offer even if she said no, you stay with her, 55 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: you know. And what she did is what a lot 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: of wives would have done, quite frankly in this situation, 57 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: because it just doesn't look right. You guys in the 58 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: den watching the game while she she owes you nothing. 59 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: She doesn't owe you an apology. You're not gonna get one, 60 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: so stop looking for that. And you can believe he 61 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: got an earful after you left about who are you? 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: What's his play daughter? Mess? I bet you are playing 63 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: with her. You're all of that, playing around all of that. 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: That's why he's been distant at work okay, And he 65 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: will probably say that way if he knows what's good 66 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: for him. So for your sake, I hope this was 67 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: a lesson learned about. You know, how to act around 68 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: someone's wife. Okay, Steve, Okay, Shirley. Everything you said.
