If it didn't bother her, okay, whatever, 172 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 11: it clearly does savior relationship. If my husband ever dated 173 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 11: our daughter's friend from college, oh no, twenty five oh no, 174 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 11: whether I'm here, I'm in the clouds in heaven, I 175 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 11: am going to make sure that doesn't happen. 176 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: And I think you could sit down and have a 177 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: very adult conversation with her. And maybe I'm just thinking 178 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: out loud, but maybe you say to her, like, look, 179 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: if in the end of this we decide that you're 180 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: uncomfortable with this, then I'll break up with her. But like, 181 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: let's have a conversation about why and who knows. You know, 182 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: maybe you guys can get to a place where she 183 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: understands or she's okay with it or whatever, but maybe 184 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: she isn't. And if she feels safe and she feels 185 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: like she's being heard and that at the end of it, 186 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: you'll do what's best for your relationship with your daughter, 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: then you might get a different reaction. But right now 188 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: it sounds like she's against it because she feels like 189 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: you're choosing someone other than her so that you can 190 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: get laid. And I don't know, it's I feel like 191 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: your kids should always feel like they come first. But 192 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: I would also on the flip side to play devil's advocate. 193 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you are a grown up. She is a 194 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: grown up. She can't necessarily poopoo everything that you do 195 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: simply because she doesn't like it. So it is I 196 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: don't know. I guess I always I guess, you know, 197 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: in my life, in my circumstances, I always go with 198 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 2: the kids should be chosen first. But you know, on 199 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: the flip side, I guess you could your daughter could 200 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: be someone who shuts down everybody you date for any reason, 201 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: and you can't necessarily go with that either. But let 202 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: me take some phone calls.

And nobody would tell me because everybody 304 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: knows I'm overprotective, and I wouldn't like it. And I 305 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: didn't like it when I found out, and I was 306 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: pissed at both of them, but I was most pissed 307 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: at my friend because it's like, dude, I've known you 308 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: my whole life. If you want to date my sister, 309 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna love it. But the least you could 310 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: do is say, Hey, I'm going to ask your sister 311 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: out on a date, and I could say whatever I 312 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: want after that. It's up to her and it's up 313 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: to him. But like the fact that nobody told me 314 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: about it and the fact that like it was never 315 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: openly discussed made it seem like it was not pure, 316 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: or like it wasn't the intentions weren't good, if that 317 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 2: makes sense. So I feel like what's missing here is 318 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: some communication, Like he could have set his daughter down 319 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: and been like, I'm really interested in your friend. I 320 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: think there's a connection and I want to date her. 321 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: And I guess at that point her daughter could have 322 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: voiced her concerns and then he could have evaluated, well, 323 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: are these concerns that are like valid or are these 324 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: petty concerns or is this a jealousy thing. But the 325 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: fact that he's just doing it and she doesn't seem 326 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: to have a voice in this, I think it's really 327 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: messed up because I feel like his daughter should have 328 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: the number one most important voice next to his Right. 329 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: Now, time's getting it from a twenty five year old. 330 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: Money my god, But we're talking about his child likes 331 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: so much getting laid and your kid are not even 332 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: on the same like platform. 333 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 14: Now you're also just thinking this is like a sexual thing. 334 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 14: Maybe they actually have like a meaningful relationship. And at 335 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 14: some point you have to be mature enough to just 336 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 14: want the best for your parents right and want them 337 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 14: to be happy. She might be the type of person 338 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 14: that doesn't want anyone dating her dad and let alone 339 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 14: her friends is having a hard time with it, But 340 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 14: at some point you have to be mature enough. Your 341 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 14: parents are older, they should have what they want to have. 342 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: Yes, well, and that makes sense, Jason accept I guess 343 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: the part that I'm saying here is the fact that 344 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: there was not like clear communication. The fact that it 345 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: was like not her feelings were not discussed from the 346 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: very beginning. It doesn't sound like that to me is 347 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: what makes it sort of wrong, right, I mean, you're right, 348 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: like he could sit down and say, I have every 349 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: intention of this being a healthy, good relationship.

And then she can voice her concerns. 352 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: But he didn't even seem to like it's only coming 353 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: up now, you know, now that it's happening, and they're 354 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: all the way down the trail, all the way down 355 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: the tracks on this, you know what I mean.
