1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: This is Cowboy Sam, and this is ye how John,

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: and we've last owed in some amazing stories for y'all

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: the Okay Storytime podcasts.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: But before that we got to wrangle a quick little

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: two minute out break from those bucking sponsors. We bucking

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: love so much either paid us the bucks to help

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: this show stay alive.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 3: My friend claims she had an affair with my boyfriend,

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: but her proof.

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: Makes no sense.

11
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 3: It's just a bunch of pudding, Jack the pudding. I

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 3: will try to explain the situation the best I can,

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: even though I myself am really confused. So all started

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: a few months ago when my best friend Kim started

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: questioning the liberty when like trust, I give the mic.

16
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't make an issue of things that would normally

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: be inappropriate for some people. By the way, this comes

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: from Mike and Vick. Even if you want to spit

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 3: your own stories, please go to our such Okay Storytime subrending.

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: So I trust Mike's character and believe he will make

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: the right choices. I also know I'm the jealous type,

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: so it is better to just let it go for

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: me and trust I would rather I would rather he's

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: straysed than behave himself because I am watching solely. However,

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: Kim kept trying to imply that he could be cheating

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: on me, and that I would have no idea her

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: ex cheated on her. It was high school, though, so

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: I guess she tends to be suspicious. Now why my boyfriend.

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: I thought it was because she was looking out for me.

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: She's also friends with him, so surely she knows he

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: is not that type.

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Right.

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: I know anyone could cheat, but let's agree that some

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: people are really less likely to. Mike and I have

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: been together for three years. He is my first and

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: I love him very much. He is both a lover

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: and a friend to me, and our relationship is a

38
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: source of happiness to me and him too. Normally, Mike

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: has never given me a reason to doubt him, never

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: lied about serious things, just insignificant things, like saying he's

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: arriving soon at my house when he's really just finishing

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: up showering. Basically, the idea of him cheating is foreign

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: to me. We had strong and clear boundaries in place.

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: I would be mind f if he knew the type

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 3: of person he is, But then again, most betrayed thoughts

46
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: like me. Anyways, Kim had been bringing it up on

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: and off for the last few months, and a few

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: weeks ago, when she came over to stay, she dropped

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 3: the bomb on me that supposedly Mike was cheating with her.

50
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: Suspicious at first, I felt really numb. I cried, I

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: scream operated her and drove to Mike's house at two

52
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. She had shown me texts on

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: WhatsApp with his name, and it was very legally cheating.

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: They had been together for six months. He would meet

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: her on Mondays to have lunch. When he told me

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: he usually has lunch with his parents, they apparently snuck

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: out on New Year's Eve to fool around. I did

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: lose sight of both of them at one point at

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: that party, but found him with his friends later. I

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: confronted him in this hysterical state, and he just looked confused.

61
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: He kept denying until the end. When I left, he

62
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: was still denying everything. I don't use WhatsApp, but he

63
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: used to. However, because of family problems basically group chat issues,

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: it seems he deleted it two months ago, so he

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: had no way of proving to me he didn't cheat

66
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: unless calling his parents to confirm, but at that point,

67
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: judging from his reaction, I already believed he didn't cheat.

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, that sounds like you're coping to me, Yeah,

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't want the truth, because that's how you'd if

70
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: you talk to his parents and you're like, so, if

71
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you've been having lunch with Mike every Monday and they

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: go no, then you know that that's true.

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: But I also couldn't believe Kim would lie. She has

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: been my best friend for years. She always had my back.

75
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: I would have trusted her with my life. That night

76
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: we called her. She had left shortly after her confession,

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: in which she cried like a real culprit, and Mike

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: confronted her, but she kept to her story. She told

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: him to admit it, that she couldn't continue anymore, couldn't

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: do this to me, et cetera. They just kept arguing,

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: and I asked her if she ever slept at her

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: place at one point, and she said he did on

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: a date where he was supposed to go meet his

84
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: friends in a neighboring city four months ago. But turns

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: out that weekend in question, he was indeed supposed to go,

86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 3: but chose to stay with me as I was having

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: some issues.

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Oh Kim's a liar, Oh Kim's being somehow Kim is

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: tapped into their schedule. Yeah, and like like has their

90
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Google calendar that.

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: We spent that weekend together. And I really don't think

92
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: he snuck out of the house at night. I also

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: slept while holding him tightly, and I would have felt

94
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: if he had moved.

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, I was. I had the master locks

96
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: on that guy. I was wrapped up, so her story

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't check out. I told her that, and she says

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: she must have confused the dates. Apart from the t

99
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: she still has no other proof.

100
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: Hmmmm mm.

101
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Now that's super suspicious, super suspicious to be.

102
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I guess I mixed up the dates.

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Uh convenient that you picked the date that he was

104
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be completely out of town and you could

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: have said he did whatever, but instead he wasn't he

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: was with me.

107
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: She seems really hurt that I wouldn't trust her, But

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: there's a big hole in hers well. Except from the

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: WhatsApp being deleted, there is nothing else that is suspicious

110
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 3: for him. It's text with her or normal basic comrade stuff.

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: And have been for a month. I can't go further

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: up on his phone to retrieve tax. They're not deleted.

113
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: It's just like that for some reason.

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: Hey, Combred, what are you eating for lunch today? I'm

115
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 4: having standard gurul Eh, yes, thank you very much. Now

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 4: Kim and I don't speak to each other anymore. Mike

117
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: is beyond furious at her, and I am confused. I

118
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 4: believe my boyfriend, but I just can't wrap my head

119
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: around the idea that Kim would lie to me like that,

120
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: and for what She is good friends with Mike too,

121
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: It's not as if she just liked him. A small

122
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: part of me wonders if I did not clear the

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: wrong person, but really, Mike would have to win an

124
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 4: oscar if he can feign innocence so well.

125
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: I know.

126
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: My last option is for him to get his mom

127
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: to confront him. But at this point I wonder if

128
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: I am. I wonder if it is really necessary to

129
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: drag her in our problems. There are his friends too,

130
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: but as much as I trust Mike, if he really

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: did cheat, those guys would protect him and lie until

132
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: the very end.

133
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: Okay, well, at least so he's smart enough to know

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: that the homies will have his back. Even if he

135
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: is being nefarious in some cases, but uh, get the

136
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: mom involved.

137
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I don't understand this.

138
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: It would be the final nail in the coffin of like, yeah,

139
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: I literally talked to his parents and they're like, yeah,

140
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: we're having lunch with him on Mondays. Yeah, you know

141
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, I just go ahead and confirm

142
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: that part. Literally all you need to confirm. You don't

143
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: even need to make it a big deal.

144
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: I could also contact Kim and verify it's his number

145
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: listed on WhatsApp, but I don't think Mike would appreciate

146
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: it after the scene I caused that night. Also, she

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: could change it right back to his name. He's more

148
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: concerned and understanding than mad. But that's because Kim was

149
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: my best friend and he could see how I could

150
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: take her words for the truth. But would someone really

151
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: invent months of conversation just to break up a relationship? Yes,

152
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: what was she doing texting herself? Am I right to

153
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: believe him? Aren't being blinded by him? Am I being

154
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: blinded by my feelings? I know there isn't a clear question,

155
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: but in this situation, what is the next step for me?

156
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Get some more facts? Get your investigating eyes on this.

157
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: Get your girlfriends evolved at their board, figure out who

158
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: to believe, who not to believe. Just check some more

159
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: boxes before you D'm putting Kim on last.

160
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

161
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm not getting any more facts from anybody. I think

162
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: if you're talking to your boyfriend is like you've got

163
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: enough acts and it's like on.

164
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: The final thing is that you need to figure out how.

165
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: She got hooked into your schedules because she somehow knows

166
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: or knew when he was gone when he would have

167
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: been gone. Uh So I don't know what how she

168
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: did that. It's common for people who are like besties

169
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's like, I wouldn't say common, but it's definitely.

170
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: I've heard it before, where you know, someone who's like

171
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: one of your closest friends is like scheme in against

172
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 1: you and your partner.

173
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: I kind of had a similar situation.

174
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't really like a cheating situation, but it was

175
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: like a somebody was like low key trying to like

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: plant little seeds to break us up and stuff, and

177
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: it's like, why we're all friends, why would you why

178
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: would you do that? And it's just because you know,

179
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I want to spend more time with you, or I

180
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: want this person, or like there's different reasons, but that

181
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: proximity can create hostility sometimes.

182
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: So I'm updating so I can leave this story behind

183
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: and move on. After reading all the answers, I just

184
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: decided to verify if he really does have lunch with

185
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: his parents on Mondays and doing almost everything proposed. This morning,

186
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: I called his mom to ask if I could join

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: them today and she was assualted. I didn't tell him

188
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: I was coming, and he was really happy to see me. There.

189
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: Oh a nice.

190
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: We had lunch at his parents' house, which is where

191
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: they usually eat, and in the end I managed to

192
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: verify without going behind his back and alerting his parents.

193
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: At one point during lunch, I said, it's awesome how

194
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: you guys do this every Monday as a tradition or

195
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: something like that, and his mom kept going on about

196
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: how it was a way for them to catch up

197
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: with each other, they him and his siblings are all

198
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: so busy all the time, and to share some fun

199
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: family time. She laminated the fact that his older sister

200
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: often couldn't make it to her lunch because of her

201
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: unpredictable schedule. I got to I got invited to join

202
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: the tradition, but declined since this is their time to

203
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: be with their son and I don't want to intrude

204
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 3: on that. Honestly, it felt really comfortable and I felt

205
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: like a part of this family, so I had a

206
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: great time. Mike and Dee does have lunch with them

207
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: every Monday, so we went there. We saw we're good.

208
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 3: We decided to clear his name once and for all

209
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: this afternoon, and he downloaded WhatsApp again on his phone.

210
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: The last messages he exchanged with her were from three

211
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 3: months ago. Maybe someone got deleted automatically. They barely communicated

212
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: through WhatsApp. I did not see any holes in the conversation,

213
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: and most were about me, like have you seen my convict?

214
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: She's not answering her phone stuff like that. On her phone.

215
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: There was a profile picture when she showed me the text,

216
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: but his was blank, and he said he never put

217
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: one there, which is weird, but that's his timee. She

218
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: tends to contact him first, but she just does that

219
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: to everyone anyway, So there was nothing flirty, just hello, okay.

220
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: When we were finished, he asked me if I was

221
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: feeling a lot better now and just to come to

222
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: him if I have any other doubts, and guys, if

223
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: you have any doubts in life, here's how you solve

224
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: that one.

225
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: Go to your favorite.

226
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: Podcast platform Spotify and Apple podcast whatever to search up okay,

227
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: story time and three. All of your downs will go

228
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: away the second you press play one of your favorite podcast.

229
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubts for twelve hundred plus hours.

230
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: That's right?

231
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Is that as long as one piece? That's as long

232
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: as my piece?

233
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh whoa, Okay, this is good.

234
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: I think.

235
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: The reluctance to immediately involve the people who could undeniably

236
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: tell you whether or not your friend was full of

237
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: crap basically mm hmmm, don't do that. I guess the

238
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: dynamic with parents can be hard. It's like if you

239
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: come to that and they're like, oh, what do not

240
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: trust my son and blah blah blah blah.

241
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: It could. It could theoretically you start like another different issue.

242
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you can do it a little. You

243
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: can figure out to do a little low key. You

244
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: don't need to be like, I need to know if

245
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Mike's cheating on me? Is he eating dinner with your

246
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: lunch with you every Monday?

247
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: It was pretty slick on this one. Not gonna lie.

248
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: This one was pretty slick. This afternoon, he reminded me

249
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: why I'm so attached to him with this care. He

250
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: didn't get the anytime. He just left me with his

251
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: phone as I was still searching, tried to GPS thing,

252
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: nothing came out of it. When he went to buy

253
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: some cake with his mom, he teased about putting a

254
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: key lodger on his phone. I feel really shut and

255
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: hope Kim will stay away from us now. A part

256
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: of me wonders why she did this, invent this whole story,

257
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: But I would rather keep this question unanswered than to

258
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: bring drama into my relationship again. Kim, what's up?

259
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: What's up? What happened?

260
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: Why don't you make it up?

261
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: Stuff? How long? How long had that been going on?

262
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that the consensus is he was

263
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: either jealous of the guy or jealous of their relationship.

264
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: Also, everyone was twenty three in the story.

265
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: That kind of makes more sense too. It's just like

266
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: really young, petty jealousy.

267
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: I accidentally exposed my best friend's secret to my family

268
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: because he left me stranded.

269
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: That seems like an overreaction.

270
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: Were you stranded on an island?

271
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Were you stranded at a place that you could get transportation?

272
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: Were you straight and ended in space? Let's find out.

273
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: So my best friend, let's call him John, twenty three

274
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: years old and I female, twenty two years old, have

275
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: been friends for eight years. He has been around my

276
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: family and has joined in a lot of my family

277
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: functions and vice versa. By the way, this comes from

278
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: user old Engineering fifty six sixty six and if you

279
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: want to submit your own stories, go to the r

280
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: slash okay storytime subreddit. So he came out to me

281
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: during our sophomore year in college. I knew he was

282
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: attracted to the same gender, but was waiting for him

283
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: to come out. John was very secretive about coming out

284
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: and only a few people know that he is attracted

285
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: to the same gender. Once we graduated college, John started

286
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: talking to this one guy on Tinder and eventually they

287
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: started long distance dating. He ended up telling his family

288
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: once things were official. By the way, this was John's

289
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: first time dating anyone.

290
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: Wow. Ever, Wow, Well, that's going to be a bit

291
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: of an adjustment. I bet me.

292
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: John and another close friend, Megan twenty three years old female,

293
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: had planned to go to a music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

294
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: Since Meghan's brother and his friends were also going, we

295
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: had decided to jump in with their group to enjoy

296
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: Vegas and the music festival together. We did not know

297
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: that John had also invited his boyfriend to this trip.

298
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: I guess John wanted me and Meghan to get to

299
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: know his boyfriend better. I was struggling to decide which

300
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: flight to return from Vegas because I was kind of

301
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: tied on money. I consulted with John to see what

302
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: I should do. Since Meghan and her brother had rented

303
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: a car in Vegas, I wasn't sure if I should

304
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: return at an earlier flight around two PM like Megan.

305
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Since I would be carpooling with Megan and her brother

306
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: throughout the trip and check out at eleven AM for

307
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: the hotel. The earlier flight was a bit more expensive

308
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: than the later return flight, so John suggested he and

309
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: his boyfriend could take me to the airport and I

310
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: could hang out with them after checking out from the hotel.

311
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: John was flying to meet with his boyfriend in California

312
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: and then drive them both to Vegas. I told John

313
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to inconvenience them and wouldn't mind booking

314
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: the earlier flight, but John said it was fine if

315
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: they took me to the airport, so I decided to

316
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: book a later return flight. At seven pm, John mentioned

317
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: it would be a good time for me to get

318
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: to know his boyfriend. We arrived in Vegas and found

319
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: out John and his boyfriend had booked a different hotel

320
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: from us. John didn't want Megan's brother and his friends

321
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: to know that he is not straight. John told the

322
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: brother and friends that he was just bringing a friend.

323
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: It was fine since the hotel they booked was close

324
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: to ours. We also found out that John and his

325
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: boyfriend had bought shuttle bus passes to the music festival

326
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: without our knowledge. We had planned to carpool together to

327
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: the festival. Megan's brother even paid extra to change the

328
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: car at the rental place to seat eight passengers. Since

329
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: John and his friend really his boyfriend, we're supposedly joining us.

330
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: We all arrived one day earlier from the festival day,

331
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and we had a whole day planned with events. We

332
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: asked John if they were going to join in on

333
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: our day, which John told us to include him and

334
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: his friend with so we did. In the end, John

335
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: and his boyfriend ended up backing out from all the

336
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: events we were doing because they were too tired. During

337
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: the three day music festival, we did not see John

338
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: and his boyfriend at all. It was disappointing since we

339
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: had planned this trip to go to the music festival together.

340
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: I messaged John if we can at least meet up

341
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: during the afternoon to have lunch together or something, but

342
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: he did not respond. I thought he was just too

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: tired from coming back from the festival, so I let

344
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: it slide.

345
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: No, girl, he's not.

346
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: On the last day of the festival, I messaged John

347
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: to see if he was still okay with taking me

348
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: to the airport and if we were going to hang out.

349
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: I messaged him while we were getting ready to go

350
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: to the music festival, and keep in mind this festival

351
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: starts at six pm and ends at six am the

352
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: next day.

353
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: I got no response.

354
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: I started to panic because I haven't seen him throughout

355
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: this trip and because I don't feel comfortable being alone

356
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: in Vegas. I kept messaging him and calling him, but

357
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: no response. He headed to the festival and I decided

358
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: to just enjoy the music to calm down. I ended

359
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: up messaging him at around two in the morning the

360
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: next day, the day I'm going to fly out back

361
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: home to once again ask him if he was still

362
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: going to take me to the airport. I still got

363
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: no response, so I decided I would go with Megan

364
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: and her brother's to the airport and wait at the airport.

365
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Since I would not have any transportation, I was not

366
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: going to drag my luggage around with me in Vegas.

367
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: Fat. Yeah, don't do that, and op, you've done everything right.

368
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: May I would have probably actually been like, I'm going

369
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: with you guys way earlier. As if I didn't get

370
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: a response that same day or the day before, I'm like,

371
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: all right, John's a wall whatever, I'm gonna keep that

372
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: in mind and I'll go to the airport.

373
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: Or when people are in their first relationship, they usually

374
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 3: actually themselves with their partner. I mean, not like in

375
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: a bad way. They're just like, I want to hang

376
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: out with this person doing their own thing. John doesn't

377
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: know how to explain that. He doesn't know how to

378
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: communicate that because it's new to him.

379
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can't be don't be upset to John.

380
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Though, I ended up getting a message from John while

381
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: I was packing my stuff to head to the airport.

382
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: He told me that he was in too much of

383
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: an altered state from the substances he had consumed and

384
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: did not message me back because of that. He then

385
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: said he was not able to take me to the

386
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: airport since they needed to rest coming back from.

387
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: The music festival.

388
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So at this point, I'm like, hey, I get it.

389
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: That was so whack of you, John, I get it.

390
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: I understand. Doesn't excuse how crappy that was. As a

391
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: friend who you've told me, You're like, oh, yeah, do

392
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: this because I got you, and now you don't got me.

393
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: That's a bad move. So keep in mind I was

394
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: receiving this message and my flight was not until seven pm, which,

395
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: for all my little math nerds out there, that's thirteen

396
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: hours of resting time that John could have. I was

397
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: irritated and disappointed, because if I had known this was

398
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: going to happen, I would have flown out on an

399
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: earlier flight. I ended up waiting ten hours alone at

400
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: the airport with no sleep at all, before flying back

401
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: home since my flight got delayed. John never once messaged

402
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: me to check on how I was doing after his

403
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: much needed rest. Feel like if I was op i'd

404
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: be more butt hurt than John is.

405
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: Right now, that is hilarious, Thank you.

406
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: I ended up messaging my sisters to let them know

407
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: about my whereabouts since one of my sisters was planning

408
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: to pick me up when I had landed at home.

409
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: I was upset, sad, and hurt about John, and I

410
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: ended up telling all my sisters about what happened to

411
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: me during my trip to Vegas. I had told them

412
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: that John pretty much left us for his boyfriend, putting

413
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: mister before sisters. I was trying so hard to hold

414
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: back my tears because I didn't think John would treat

415
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: me this way for some guy. His family suspected that

416
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: John was attracted to the same gender, so it was

417
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: not a surprise to my family. Long story short, we

418
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: all came back from our Vegas trip, me Meghan, and

419
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: John ended up having a discussion about what had happened.

420
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: Megan told John that what he did to me was

421
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: crappy and we all did not expect him to do

422
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: something like that. Meghan's brother even told John that John

423
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: should have at least checked in on me. Megan told

424
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: John that he needed to apologize, and I expressed privately

425
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: to John how I felt and told him that John.

426
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 2: Had hurt me and that he could have at least

427
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: responded back to me.

428
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: I told John that I told my sisters what happened

429
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: on the trip, and he panicked and asked if they

430
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: knew about his boyfriend.

431
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: Oh.

432
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: I told him, of course they know, since my family

433
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: is not stupid enough to believe that John would treat

434
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: me the way he did for another person who's just

435
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: a friend. After we both talked about what happened on

436
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: the trip, I forgave him and we moved on with

437
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: our lives. I received a text message from John a

438
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: week later. John ended up texting me that it was

439
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: fed up of me and he was hurt that I

440
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: told my family he was attracted to the same gender

441
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: because it was not my place to come out for him.

442
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: It's sort of like one of those things where people

443
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: come to their own conclusion and they're like, yeah, they

444
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 3: piece it together.

445
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: From the sounds of it. You weren't really fooling these

446
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: people at all to begin with. Yeah, it's like this

447
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: is like your second family. It's like, you've been so

448
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: close to this family. OHP's been so close to John's family.

449
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: John's family basically said like yeah, we already knew, like

450
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: when they came out, when he came out to them,

451
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ope's family's literally the same way, like exactly.

452
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: So he told me that I had taken a piece

453
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: of his identity away from him. He didn't appreciate me

454
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: telling my family he was attracted to the same gender,

455
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: and now they will look at him differently.

456
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: No, they won't do the look at you the same

457
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: way because they probably they already knew.

458
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: John said he wanted to tell people he's attracted to

459
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the same gender when he is ready to Uh. And

460
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: by the way, you better be ready to listen to

461
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: full episodes with stories like this on I heard radio

462
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: and Apple podcasts and Spotify wherever you listen to podcasts.

463
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: Just search the name of this show.

464
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: Yep.

465
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: Okay, story time yep, and you will have the Oysters

466
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: pearl in your hand.

467
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: Okay, we do have a little bit more story left.

468
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: So I felt bad and I thought about it that

469
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: if it was wrong for me to tell my family,

470
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: you know, his secret. I cried and called him to

471
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: explain to him. I didn't tell my family that he

472
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: was attracted to the same gender out of spite or

473
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: with malicious intent. I apologized, but John told me he

474
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: doesn't know if he could forgive me. After hearing that,

475
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: it made me wonder if he wanted to turn me

476
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: into a bad friend for telling my family because he

477
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: realized he was being a.

478
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: Bad friend during our trip.

479
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: Mmm hmm, So am I the a hole for telling

480
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: my family he is attracted to the same gender, not.

481
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: If your family came to the conclusion. So now you

482
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 3: didn't really tell him if.

483
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: Your family is practically his family, like what we was

484
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: described at the beginning of the story, already knew.

485
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: Plus you were like, Hey, I need to be here

486
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: for ten hours. I'm just upset of John because he's

487
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 3: hang out with his friend and they aren't. It's not

488
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: like I'm at I'm at the airport for for for

489
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: like ten hours.

490
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: Also John's and I don't like him anymore because it's

491
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: a boyfriend and I don't like it.

492
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: It's like, that's not what it was. It was more

493
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: just like, dude, and yeah, John dropped the ball super hard.

494
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: He's trying to take the heat off of him by

495
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: being like, oh, well, the way you reacted, even though

496
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: I was wrong, what you did was worse, and it's like, yeah,

497
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: there's no way op would have said anything if they

498
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: thought that the reaction would have been negative. My boyfriend

499
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: lost my senior dog in the streets. I couldn't forgive him.

500
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 5: Your boyfriend's for the streets.

501
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Me twenty four female and my boyfriend twenty four male,

502
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: have been together for almost four years. We get along

503
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: okay for the most part. Things like him losing something

504
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: of mine have happened, but to this level. By the way,

505
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: this comes from user Anna Maria five and if you

507

Speaker 1: slash Okay storytime subreddit and submit the mayre. So I

508
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: have had my dog Milo twelve female for her whole life.

509
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: We grew up together, and it's really hard for her

510
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: to get to trust other people. She has always been

511
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: an anxious girl, but she is the light of my

512
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: life and was always by my side, even in my

513
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: worst days. Three years ago, I introduced my boyfriend to

514
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: my family, which is just my mom and Mila. He

515
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: and my mom got along okay, but he did not

516
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: acknowledge Milo in any way.

517
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: That was fine.

518
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to be all over her, considering

519
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: she doesn't even like that, but I still found it

520
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: pretty strange because he said.

521
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: He absolutely loved dogs.

522
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: To be honest, I believe that because he would always

523
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: pet dogs when we were outside. Any interaction he had

524
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: with her over the past three years was limited, but

525
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: Milo warmed up to him. She would greet him and

526
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: go to him for pets, which he sometimes gave, and

527
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: accepted him on our daily A year and a half ago,

528
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: Milo got sick. She had a tooth infection which was

529
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Her whole right eye had swollen shut. I

530
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: asked my boyfriend to take us to the vet because

531
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a car. The vet took care of

532
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: the infection, gave me some antibiotics to administer daily, and

533
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: gave instructions on how to clean the wound left after

534
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: the vet drained the puss. For a couple of weeks,

535
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: I didn't hang out much with my boyfriend because I

536
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: was focused on taking care of Milo.

537
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: One thing that stood out to me was how pissed

538
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: he seemed every time I brought her up to talk

539
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: about her progress.

540
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: Looking back, that should have raised some red flags, but

541
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: I guess I brushed it off. Now that I've given

542
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: you the short version of the past, here's what's happening

543
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: in the present. I planned a short vacation with my

544
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: mom to visit my grandparents. While talking to my boyfriend

545
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: about the trip, I told him that my best friend

546
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: Alex twenty three mail would take care of Milo. My

547
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: boyfriend then offered to take care of her himself.

548
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 5: Don't do it. Don't trust him. It's a trap.

549
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in the moment, it'd be like, oh, look, okay,

550
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: my boyfriend's turning around, like, yeah, trying to take some responsibility.

551
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: He's trying to get in there. You know, this is

552
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: now a green flag.

553
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

554
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: However, however, he was mad that I hadn't come to

555
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: him first, insisting that he.

556
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: Loved Milo and wanted to go on walks with her.

557
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: This sudden love that he felt for her out of

558
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: the blue was strange, but I reluctantly agreed.

559
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: The trip was supposed to last three days.

560
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: On day two, I was on the phone with my

561
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: boyfriend when he casually mentioned that Milo really liked to

562
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: stay outside. That immediately felt off, so I asked him

563
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: what he met. He left my sweet girl outside for

564
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: hours at a time alone and would only check on

565
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: her hourly. Mind you, I live in an apartment. No,

566
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: I don't have a backyard.

567
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

568
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: I was about to be like, oh, well you know

569
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: hourly it's a backyard. No back He's just leaving her

570
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 5: on the street. Where is she? Where is she?

571
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: Where in the like?

572
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: Is it like?

573
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 5: Is it gated? Is this dog just on the sidewalk?

574
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: He just let her out in the lounge by the pool.

575
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 5: Was like, yeah, she's by the hot dub. I don't know,

576
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 5: I'll check out.

577
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: This is crazy me, I was gonna I was about

578
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: to underreact to.

579
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, oh the dogs outside,

580
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: dogs are come on. It's like, oh no, wait, just

581
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: with nowhere to go, just released into the streets. My god.

582
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: As soon as I told my mom, we left immediately

583
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: and arrived back home around nine pm. Since then, I

584
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: have blocked my boyfriend on everything and have been searching

585
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: for my girl. I've printed posters, gone out every day

586
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: for hours at a time, and posted about her in

587
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: Facebook groups around my area. If you have any advice

588
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: on what else I could do, please let me know.

589
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: Now he and his friend group say I'm an a

590
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: hole because I've put my dog above my boyfriend in

591
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: all of our four years of relationship. I know for

592
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: a fact this is not true, but I don't have

593
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: anyone else to ask besides people that are really close

594
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: to me and would be biased. I'm sorry for the

595
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: long post. My mind is all over the place. And

596
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: we have some comments. Oh my god, No, you're not

597
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: the ahle, the a hole.

598
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 5: Your dog's gone, You're not the a hole. And it

599
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 5: seems like no one's actually been like apologizing to you.

600
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: And his friends are like, yeah, you've been because you

601
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: prioritize your dog. You've had for your old life over

602
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: your boyfriend, which is not I doubt that. It's more

603
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: like you like your dog and your boys show has

604
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: a secure and jealous that he can't handle.

605
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: That also just has proven you know who he really

606
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 5: is in this moment.

607
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: Pretty psychat.

608
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: We've had a four year relationship, but to leave a

609
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: dog outside on purpose and then not seem to understand

610
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 5: that you led to it, running away.

611
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: Exiled the dog, exiled the doll, and then didn't care,

612
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: didn't even care.

613
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: She likes it.

614
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think you've done anything wrong. Ope, and I.

615
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Hope you find your dog.

616
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: I think you were dating a psycho. We have some

617
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: comments here from Velvety hot, not the ahole. Your boyfriend's

618
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: negligence led to your dog's disappearance, and his lack of

619
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: care for Milove over the years clearly shows where his

620
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: priorities lie. Breaking up was justified. Keep searching for my

621
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: involved local shelters, vets, and social.

622
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: Media for a broader reach.

623
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: Unusual Canary seventy seven to sixty four says he got

624
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: rid of his competition. It's that simple. That's why he

625
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: suddenly loved her out of the blue. It was his

626
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to get rid of the attention he wanted from you,

627
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: not the a hole.

628
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: Good riddance. What a prickety DooDah prickety day.

629
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: Rickkendra said, this was my immediate thought after the backstory.

630
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: He didn't like that Op was giving more attention to

631
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: her dog when the dog got sick, the ex boyfriend

632
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: sees an opportunity to be rid of the dog. I

633
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: suspect he did something more nefarious than simply leaving the

634
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: dog outside all day.

635
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 5: I hope he just loved the dog outside.

636
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: Crime crime. This man is criminal.

637
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Ope, you are absolutely choosing your dog over this man,

638
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: and rightfully so. There's really no question where your priority

639
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: should be and You've put your priority in the right place.

640
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: Your dog has been in your life three times longer

641
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: than you were with this man. Your dog is dependent

642
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: on you, and you have a responsibility to be your

643
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: dog's caregiver. Your ex is not your dependent and you

644
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: don't have the same responsibility for him as you do

645
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: for your dog. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

646
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: Tipsy Magpie says you need to check all the shelters

647
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: within one hundred and fifty miles. It sounds like he

648
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: just drove Milo out somewhere and dumped her. Sadly, I

649
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: don't believe that she ran away at all. Judgment not

650
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: the ale, and there is an update.

651
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 5: I just to find this dog.

652
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: Find the dog, Find the dog, find the dog. My god.

653
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 5: Okay, it's gonna be a homeward bounds kind of situation. Yes,

654
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 5: dog's gonna be. The kid's gonna be like, I don't know,

655
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: there's a kid in this situation now, and the kid's

656
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 5: gonna be like I can.

657
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: Hear the time, and then he's gonna be.

658
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: Like, no, no, the dog's not here. Little Jimmy, I

659
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: don't know what his name is.

660
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: It's Jimmy.

661
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Jimmy, and he's like, no, I get hear him.

662
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 5: And they're like, come on, little Jimmy, let's go to

663
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 5: the house. And then Opie's little white crusty dog comes.

664
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 5: Milo comes bounding out of the forest next to her apartment,

665
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 5: because this is the forest next to her apartment, and

666
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: he's like She's like, She's like, it's.

667
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: Milo, yeah, and then they watch Atlantis.

668
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: Hi.

669
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: A lot of people ask me for an update.

670
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: I should have waited until I got some rest, but

671
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: you all were so helpful and you deserve to know

672
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: how this ended.

673
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh boy.

674
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: My ex came today to get his stuff, and some

675
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: of you might be happy for what you're about to read,

676
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: but he did not get a single thing back. When

677
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: he saw me, he started begging me to forgive him,

678
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: and thanks to you again, I agreed to forgive him

679
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: if he told me the truth. He just looked me

680
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: straight in the face and said, if I'm going to

681
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: be honest, you won't forgive me. My heart broke all

682
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: over again thinking about the worst of things. When he

683
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: saw me cry, he told me I should get over

684
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: it because she was already old. But if I really

685
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: wanted her back, I should get back with him. And

686
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: when he trusts me that I really forgave him, I

687
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: could see her again.

688
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: This guy's psycho. This guy is he's holding your dog hostage.

689
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: To yea, since we all know that getting back together

690
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: with somebody is always the best when it's under the

691
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: hostage situation.

692
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: We can go back dow we were.

693
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: If you agree, tell you where I put your dog.

694
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: If you daate me, it can't date me.

695
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 5: And then he's gonna be like, okay, but you know

696
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 5: if I got the dog back, he was like, well,

697
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 5: I guess I have to keep this dog.

698
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: I've just been waiting for a man to say that

699
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: to me.

700
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 5: Like, wow, you really love my life? How did you know?

701
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: I just want a man who tries hard. Can you

702
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: call the police yet? For real police police can be involved.

703
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 5: Now you say, hey, my ex boyfriend is holding my

704
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 5: dog hostage.

705
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was exhausted, hopeless and angered.

706
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: And even though I wanted my girl back, I could

707
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: not look at him, let alone be with him for

708
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: however long he thought it would take me to forgive him,

709
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: So he left, not telling me a single thing about Milo.

710
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: I got to call some hours later, and on the

711
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: other end, was a lady who found Milo on the

712
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: side of the road. She told me she would wait

713
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: for me to come because when she wanted to pick

714
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: her up, she seemed to be impeded.

715
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 5: Maybe she's just in pain from her not having her medication.

716
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: Maybe she's all I'm just imagining this way, crusty old

717
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 5: dog with one eye shut so sad.

718
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: When I got there and saw her lying there, all

719
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: my emotions flooded me. My sweet baby, even though she

720
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: looked so different, was a lie. And by the way,

721
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: you can feel alive by listening to full episodes with

722
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: stories like this on iHeartRadio, on Apple podcasts, on Spotify.

723
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: Just look up Okay storytime.

724
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: So we do have a little bit more story left, honestly,

725
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: like police copy anything.

726
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: But so do you even think that he knew where

727
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 5: Milo was when.

728
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: He I don't know, probably not. Yeah, he's a liar.

729
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: He's a liar and a dirty, dirty cheek. Yeah, he's

730
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: feel like I was.

731
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 5: Just saying, i'll date you. I mean, if you date me,

732
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 5: I'll I'll tell you.

733
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think he knew, right, So my my

734
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: actual advice here would be because this guy, this is

735
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: the guy who needs consequences for this, like, this needs

736
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: to be like something on his on his He needs

737
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: a criminal record for this behavior.

738
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 5: Does you can get You can get arrest or it's

739
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 5: like either a fine or some sort of charge for

740
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 5: dumping dogs.

741

742
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know what this would be, but I'm sure it's criminal.

743
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: And if you can get him on a recording admitting

744
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: to it, you know, just play kate whatever, play along

745
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: and get him to talk about how he took the

746
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: dog and he won't tell you where it is until you,

747
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: you know whatever, get the actual evidence of him trying

748
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: to essentially blackmail you by it with your dog, yeah,

749
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: being sold, and then just go straight to the police with.

750
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: That and block him on everything.

751
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 5: I agree.

752
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: Don't let him know that you have your dog back yet,

753
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: don't so that you can get that done.

754
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I would suggest.

755
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: She is now staying overnight at the vet. She has

756
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: two broken ribs and is dehydrated. If everything goes well,

757
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: she will be home soon. I appreciate each and every

758
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: one of you that took the time to guide me

759
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: in this nightmare.

760
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: Thank you again. I will be pressing charges.

761
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: Yes, So we have some comments to finish this off

762
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: from Klutzy book two nine eight six. I'm so glad

763
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: Milo is okay. I had a feeling he did something

764
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: horrible to her. This man is dangerous and has shown

765
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: you who he is. Please be safe and never let

766
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: him back into your life. This is massive stalkers, sociopathic behavior.

767
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: Sneaky snail one one one says agreed, I feel like

768
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: he might be responsible for those broken ribs and then

769
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: she went away to hide. I don't think a car

770
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: would have caused only broken ribs. That X is a

771
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: point of sales terminal and deserves nothing in life. Oh p,

772
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: good luck, best wishes to you and miss Milo. Op says,

773
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: the VET does not think she was hit by a car.

774
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: It will be on her file. Thank you. And if

775
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: you can get the VET to back you.

776
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 5: Up with that, you know what happened to this.

777
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: You get him for criminal neglect or abuse.

778
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 5: Just start with like the dumping, because that is that

779
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 5: is a criminal offense.

780
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, get as much of the confession as you can recorded,

781
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: Like go out meet him for coffee, don't meet at

782
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: your place, go out to a public place.

783
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just like have aware a wire.

784
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, just well, just you know, phone record sixicchis the

785
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: sixth You need to file a police report for your

786
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: country's equivalent of animal cruelty or barring that property damage

787
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: against the X. That sounds so wrong. Make him cover

788
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: Milo's medical expenses. Yes, one hundred percent. All the consequences

789
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: need to go to this call. That is the end

790
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: of that story. But the end of the story is

791
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: when this guy ends up with a criminal record and

792
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: hopefully like maybe I don't.

793
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah I can't. You should go to jails. Week

794
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: in jail at least ju I think it would go.

795
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 5: I think if she did get some sort of you know,

796
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 5: thing against him for animal abuse, he wouldn't be able

797
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 5: to adopt any other animals.

798
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Sam, your og host.

799
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: Here.

800
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three

801
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 2: minutes of ads from our sponsors.

802
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 3: My friend expected me to fund her wedding. It ruined

803
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: our friendship.

804
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: Why would you expect that from a friend? From what?

805
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: I need more? I need more?

806
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 3: I thirty one female and my best friend, let's call

807
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: her me thirty two female, met in the summer of

808
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: two thousand and five when her family lived next door

809
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: to us. I don't even remember how we became close.

810
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: I just remember that we clicked almost instantaneously. I was

811
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: eleven and she was twelve. We became each other's partners

812
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: in crime. I admittedly closer to her than I am

813
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 3: with my sister. By the way, this goes from Last

814
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: Talk eighty and if you want to make your own story,

815
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: go to our sash Okay storytime. Sorry about it. So,

816
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: when I turned eighteen, I moved to a bigger city

817
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: about seven to eight hours away from my hometown. This

818
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: is where I found a job and slowly built my

819
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: career and became independent. Around twenty seventeen, I decided to

820
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: move to a different company and that's when I met

821
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 3: my husband to be. Let's call them Ralph, thirty two miles.

822
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: After about a month of getting to know each other,

823
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: we decided to start dating and happened together. Since this

824
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: is an important context, so please keep in mind, getting

825
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: engaged is not common practice in our country. It's usually

826
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 3: reserved for only the rich, the prestige. Common folks usually

827
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 3: go straight to the marriage talks, no proposal, no rings.

828
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 3: With that said, me and Ralph started talking about getting

829
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: married in twenty twenty and started saving for the wedding

830
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: since same year, twenty twenty, I was contacted by me

831
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: asking me if she can temporarily live with me while

832
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: she's job hunting, and since I don't live with Ralph,

833
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: I obviously agreed. At this time understood the indication that

834
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: she won't be able to help out with rent bills

835
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: and groceries, but I'm fine with that. I was earning

836
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: enough for the both of us. A month after she

837
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: moved in with me, Me met her boyfriend Jay twenty seven. Now,

838
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 3: at this point, she has not found a job or

839
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 3: reasoning was that she hasn't found the right job for

840
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 3: her yet, which at the time I supported. Until two

841
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 3: weeks after she met Jay, she's told him to move

842
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 3: in with her.

843
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: At my house without my knowledge. You gotta have the knowledge,

844
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: first knowledge. You need knowledge.

845
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: If my brother said, hey, can I move in with

846
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: you in La before I found a job, I'm gonna

847
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: be like, sure, you have exactly seven days, one hundred

848
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 3: and sixty hours before you find a job that you

849
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: can stay here.

850
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: That's what I'm telling that. I mean, honestly, in La

851
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: you can find a job in a week.

852
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: It might it's probably not gonna be a job you

853
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: like or a job you want to keep for very long,

854
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: but you could definitely find a job out here in

855
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: a week.

856
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's jobs, jobs exist everyone. Imagine my surprise when

857
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: one day I got home from work only to see

858
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 3: some random guy in the living room and his boxer's

859
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: sitting on my couch was out eating my favorite snacks

860
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: while watching TV. I threw my bag and my shoes

861
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: at him, shouting tell him to get out of my house.

862
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: Startled me.

863
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 3: Emerged from the kitchen, looked at me, and then laughs

864
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: while introducing Jay to me as if nothing strange was happening.

865
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: I pulled her into my room asked what the heck

866
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: was happening. She just said that his beautique business went

867
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: down due to the VID and he has nowhere else

868
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: to go, so she invited to live with her. Mind you,

869
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 3: they've known each other for two weeks at this point. Okay,

870
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 3: that's unhinged behavior. I can't wrap my head around this

871
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 3: and tried to reason with her, but since I immediately was

872
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: a people pleaser, can't say no, she was able to

873
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 3: convince me to let them stay.

874
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: In my basement.

875
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: We talking about this is not like a stray cat.

876
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: That they found this is a grown human being, So

877
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: now your salary has to feed three the same basement.

878
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: I renovated my as my library, says movie room my

879
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: most favorite part of my house.

880
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 3: And yes, you guess the right. They lived with me

881
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 3: rent free, and says both of them are unemployed. They

882
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: can't seem to contribute for bills and groceries.

883
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: Haha.

884
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 3: At that time, I just thought that I was helping

885
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: her since I'm earning more, it's.

886
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 2: No big deal. Sadly, this just called more.

887
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: Arguments between me and Ralph, to the point that I

888
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,479
Speaker 3: had to send me down to talk to her about

889
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 3: the situation. She started taking gigs. Jay remained unemployed, and

890
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: she was able to contribute to at least one fourth

891
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: of the bills and groceries. Still rent free, but at

892
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,959
Speaker 3: least she's starting to contribute. That's what I thought, as

893
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 3: me was too picky. She don't last in whatever job

894
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: she got, so it came to a point where she

895
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 3: only gives me that one fourth contri contribution. What's every

896
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 3: three to four months?

897
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: All right, okay, stop it, stop being a chronic people pleaser,

898
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: stop with your CPP CPP.

899
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: I even tried offering them a job at the company.

900
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: I work at cleaning crew and pays good but they declined,

901
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 3: giving excuses that the job is not right for them

902
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: or whatever. This lasted for four years.

903
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what I get help in family? Was

904
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: that random guy there for four years? When did the

905
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: random guy leave?

906
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: First of all? Second of all, what is it with

907
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: the job? With it right for me?

908
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: Any job that pays you money that you can pay me,

909
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: that you owe me is a good job for you.

910
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 3: Me and Jay decided to go back to Me and

911
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 3: Me's o'clroown, stating that there's no work for them there.

912
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 2: Jay was there the whole time. What did they start dating?

913
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: They were dating.

914
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 3: There's a lot, They're just too picky. After they left,

915
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: Ralph and I started to talk about our wedding plans again.

916
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 3: At this time, he and I still don't live together.

917
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: As I mentioned, we started saving in twenty two and

918
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 3: had our plans to get married postpone twice twenty three

919
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: to twenty four. After almost eight years and multiple family dramas,

920
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: we decided to finally tie the knot this year as

921
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 3: we saved a significant amount of money these past four years.

922
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: For reference, Ralph and I both worked in marketing and

923
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 3: earned six digits. We decided to make our wedding grand.

924
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 3: By December of twenty twenty four, we've selected a wedding

925
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 3: planner coordinator, found a beautiful church and venue for the

926
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: ceremony and reception, and are currently in talks with suppliers

927
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 3: and vendors. By January of this year, we started asking

928
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 3: people to be a part of our entourage. No one

929
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 3: else knows about our wedding outside the entourage, as we

930
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 3: haven't announced it yet. I call me personally and ask

931
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: her to be my bridesmaid. My sister is my maid

932
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 3: of honor, and she agreed. She sounded genuinely happy over

933
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 3: the phone. However, a week after my call with her,

934
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 3: she posted on her Facebook account that she and Jay

935
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 3: are getting married on April twenty five. Remembered when I

936
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 3: mentioned that engagement and proposals are not common, our common

937
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: friends congratulated her without asking when and how they got engaged.

938
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 3: The thing is I did not know about it either.

939
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: If not for the post, I wouldn't even be aware

940
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 3: that they are also planning to get married. I called

941
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: to congratulate her, asking about it, and she just said

942
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 3: that it just happened. Oh, it just happened. Jay was

943
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 3: saving up money, and uh, it just so happened to

944
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: have a ring.

945
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 2: It just happened. You know.

946
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: We felt we were in the right place to do

947
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: it after we mooched in someone's basement essentially for four years,

948
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: and I don't know.

949
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: Did they ever get jobs? They had to do it right.

950
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm going crazy over here.

951
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 3: I don't mind getting married on the same year as her,

952
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: since the month and date are different. I even asked

953
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 3: her if she wants to stay in my bridal party

954
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 3: or if she wants to be a guest instead, in

955
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 3: which she reassured me that she still wants to be

956
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 3: my bridesmaid. It is worth mentioning that our entourage won't

957
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 3: be spending a penny for our wedding, as we decided

958
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 3: to cover everything from dresses, hair and makeup, et cetera.

959
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: Hey, at least you're not bitter about the extra money

960
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: you could have saved if you had been properly charging

961
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: rent for four years for two people, dude, Ugh, two people,

962
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Hugh willingly sharing extra space with two more people who

963
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: aren't paying you money.

964
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: Eh.

965
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 3: Around the fourth week of January, me and Ralph started

966
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 3: our plans, including the budget to our entourage, which surprised them.

967
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: Us and our group of friends are from the middle

968
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 3: class families, so their surprise is understandable. I made sure

969
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 3: to let them know that we save for four years

970
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 3: for this wedding and we want to make it as

971
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: grand as we can. Unfortunately, this did not set well

972
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: with me.

973
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: Meh, meh, Are we gonna call them?

974
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: Meh?

975
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

976
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 3: She called me one day, asking why I'm trying to

977
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: upstage her and why I'm ruining her wedding. I reminded

978
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: her that she did not mention anything about her getting married,

979
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 3: and I just learned about it from her Facebook. She

980
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 3: then started to say comments about us spending too much

981
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 3: on our wedding when it will be only for a day.

982
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 2: Big facts though not I'm gonna agree there, big facts.

983
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: Saying how it'll be better if I spend some of

984
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 3: our budget for her wedding instead. Oh my god, everyone

985
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: Dakota has left the building. I was flabbergasted. The way

986
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 3: she said things made me think that she just saw

987
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 3: me as a piggy.

988
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: Bank, that she is entitled to my money.

989
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 3: What's worse, she demanded that I postpone my wedding, saying

990
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 3: that another postponements on our wedding won't make a difference,

991
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: since our wedding was already postponed twice. Anyways, she started

992
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 3: seeing red. She knows the reasons why we postponed. She

993
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 3: knows how miserable me and Ralph were when our initial

994
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: wedding plans got postponed. She said that the audacity to

995
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 3: demand that she did not even ask, she demanded it.

996
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: To top it off, she said, she'll make use of

997
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 3: the venue, flowers, catering, and other wedding stuff we already

998
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 3: paid for. To think we are getting married in the

999
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 3: city we currently live in while they're just getting married

1000
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: in our hometown.

1001
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: Clearly Ech is like way out of line here. But

1002
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: I wonder where they got the idea that you'd be

1003
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: willing to pay them money.

1004
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: Hmm?

1005
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: Would it potentially be the four years you essentially paid

1006
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: for them.

1007
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: To live with you? Just a thought. I lost it.

1008
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 3: I don't like confrontation, but the devil inside me, oh welka.

1009
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 3: At that time, I told her everything about how I felt. Ever,

1010
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 3: since she let Jay stay at my place without consulting

1011
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 3: me first, to how I covered for their rent bills

1012
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 3: and grocery, to how she changed after my After meeting Jay,

1013
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: I let it all out to the point that I

1014
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 3: was sobbing. I realize how hurt I was and how

1015
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 3: I've been holding it in for the last four years.

1016
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: They've stayed in my place. She just stayed silent then

1017
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 3: hung up on me. I haven't heard back from her, So, yeah,

1018
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 3: I chose to proceed with my wedding over my best

1019
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: friend of twenty years. I guess I don't have a

1020
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 3: best friend anymore.

1021
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: Ps.

1022
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: I forgot to mention that me talk to our common

1023
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: friends about trying to upstage me and ruin her wedding.

1024
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 3: Since me posted about her wedding first, they believed her,

1025
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: and I've lost more friends. Ooh no, no, no, you got

1026
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 3: as soon as that happens, whoever the news gets to first,

1027
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: they'll believe. But you gotta like, you gotta go to

1028
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 3: PR you gotta pr that you gotta come back.

1029
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.

1030
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, did they tell you the whole story

1031
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: or just that, Oh, they just said that I'm trying

1032
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: to upstage the Okay, cool. I've been with my partner

1033
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: for eight years. We would have gotten married earlier, but

1034
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: I had them stay essentially for free at my place

1035
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: for four years because they were just broke to afford rent.

1036
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 2: I guess pss.

1037
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 3: I forgot to mention that Me was from a religious

1038
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 3: family and that the wedding was forced by her dad

1039
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 3: as he caught them in bed together. I was also

1040
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 3: told by a common friend that I'm still friends with

1041
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: that the possible reason for Me's outburst was because she

1042
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 3: compared my wedding to hers. I was told that she

1043
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 3: will be having a civil wedding, breaking notes from Both

1044
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: of them are still employed and Me's dad is paying

1045
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: for their wedding. Oh what's new.

1046
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: Choosing to be unemployed for four years is insane? Choosing

1047
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: that's a choice you've chosen now that you're gonna be unemployed?

1048
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: All right?

1049
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 2: Update?

1050
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 3: Thank you everyone for your kind words. It has made

1051
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 3: me realize that I don't have to be sad about

1052
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 3: this lost friendship and made me recognize who my real

1053
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 3: friends are. I'm still in the process of accepting it,

1054
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 3: but I'm getting there. So here's the update. I talked

1055
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 3: to Ralph about this. I showed him your comments and

1056
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 3: he agreed with you. We have set up passwords with

1057
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 3: our vendors suppliers to avoid any possible issues. We are

1058
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: also in talks with our wedding planner and the venue

1059
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 3: owner for a possible change in venue. Going back to me,

1060
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 3: even before, Ralph kept telling me that her and Jay

1061
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: staying at my place free loading was not right. Sadly,

1062
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 3: I had too much faith on our relationship that it

1063
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 3: made me ignore all the red flags. But trust, but

1064
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 3: trust me. Looking back, I can say that me was

1065
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 3: not like this when she was there. Whenever she was there,

1066
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 3: whenever I needed her most. I never felt that she

1067
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 3: used me or took advantage of me when we were younger.

1068
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 3: But I noticed that it all changed when I moved

1069
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 3: away and started working for context. I got to university

1070
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 3: at fifteen and graduated early at eighteen. What which is

1071
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 3: why I was able to move away from her hometown

1072
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: for work early. While I started working, she remained at school. Unfortunately,

1073
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 3: she did not finish college and we met and met

1074
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 3: the wrong crowd. This will be relevant later on. Ever

1075
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 3: since I was a kid, I've been told that I

1076
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 3: liked giving gifts, and this continued to adulthood. I can

1077
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 3: say that this is my love language, saying this is

1078
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 3: why whenever I was on vacation to her hometown. I

1079
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 3: always bring my friends gifts like skincare, clothes and food delicacies.

1080
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 3: I also take them out to dinner from time to time.

1081
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 3: I think this was when me started taking me for

1082
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 3: granted and started taking advantage of me. Looking back, I

1083
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 3: realized that whenever we are out, either I asked to

1084
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 3: go out or she asked me, it's always me who

1085
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 3: foots the bill. I also remember that I always gave

1086
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 3: her gifts on her birthday. I even paid for our

1087
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 3: vacation on her twenty fifth birthday. But I never once

1088
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 3: received a gift from her, not not even a simple card.

1089
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 3: She just simply sent me a text wishing me a

1090
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: happy birthday. Back then, I just thought that since she's

1091
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 3: still a student, it's fine. It's the thought that counts.

1092
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 3: There was also a time when she introduced me to

1093
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 3: a group of friends, same friends that cussed me out

1094
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 3: for stealing their thunder and ruining her wedding, and yes,

1095
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 3: the same wrong crowd. It was supposed to be and

1096
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 3: eat out with just the two of us, but I

1097
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 3: ended up paying for more than six people. This ishmandam

1098
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 3: meetups with her random friends happened multiple times, and I

1099
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 3: remember that I always was the one paying for it.

1100
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 3: One of her friends even borrowed money for me five

1101
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 3: hundred bucks with me's guarantee. I should have known then,

1102
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 3: but as I said, I was blind, and yes, I

1103
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: never got that money back. After thinking hard about it,

1104
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 3: I realized that she really did take advantage of me.

1105
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 3: She used and financially mistreated me for years. With that said,

1106
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 3: I called my mom earlier today and asked her to

1107
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 3: pass the phone to me's dad. My mom and her

1108
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 3: dad are still neighbors. I told her dad everything. I

1109
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 3: also sent him the coffee of the ledger. I kept

1110
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 3: all unpaid bills, rents and grocery and yes, I keep

1111
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 3: ledgers for all of my spendings, something I learned from

1112
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 3: my job. Surprisingly, her dad told me that she was

1113
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 3: sending money to me all those four years that she

1114
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 3: lived with me. Yes, she was receiving money from her dad.

1115
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: What what?

1116
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: What are you doing? What are we doing? What are

1117
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: you doing dad? What?

1118
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 3: I was told that the said money was for her

1119
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 3: part of the rent and for her to buy her

1120
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 3: own groceries. I was surprised. I told her dad that

1121
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: I have not been that I have not received anything

1122
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 3: from me other than the amount indicated in my ledger.

1123
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 3: He was livid, especially to the fact that she was

1124
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 3: living with Jay all those years she was here. I'm

1125
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 3: not sure where the money went. Maybe that's how she

1126
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 3: was able to buy things while unemployed. Anyhow, her dad

1127
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 3: told me that he'll be paying it back. He also

1128
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 3: told me that he won't be paying for their wedding

1129
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 3: anymore and will be giving them an ultimatum. Also good

1130
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 3: for him, thank god, to find a job and get married,

1131
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 3: or he will punt them both out of his house.

1132
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 3: Let's go now. I will be getting my money back soon.

1133
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 3: We'll be using it for her honeymoon, and there is

1134
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 3: a possibility that me and Jay won't get married. I

1135
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 3: also blocked her and her friend's numbers as well as

1136
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 3: in Facebook, because I'm sure that she will be calling

1137
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 3: me NonStop what she hears from her dad. She does

1138
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 3: not have Ralph's numbers, so I'm not worried about him.

1139
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,360

00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 3: I'm a little guilty about the possibility of Ruinne's wedding,

1151
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 3: but Ralph assured me that since me and her friends

1152
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 3: already accused me of doing so, I'm just honing up

1153

1183
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 5: slash joke storytime suppered it. So a couple of weeks ago,

1184
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 5: I get a call from my insurance company letting me

1185
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 5: know they needed a statement about the accident. What After

1186
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 5: a solid forty five minutes of adamantly proclaiming this lady

1187
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 5: was full of crap, and that there was no accident.

1188
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 5: The insurance rep said, well, we have a report that

1189
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 5: boyfriend's name was in an accident in blah blah parking

1190
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 5: lot on on this date, claiming he was driving his

1191
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 5: girlfriend's car.

1192
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 2: I call my.

1193
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 5: Boyfriend and he denies up and down that there was

1194
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 5: an accident, explained the call I received, and he replies with, ah, yeah,

1195
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 5: I forgot about that. Apparently he's been dodging calls for

1196
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 5: over a month and never told me any of this

1197
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 5: was going on. There was no damage to my car,

1198
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 5: so I have no reason to think anything had happened.

1199
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 5: Yesterday I was trying to work out the details with

1200
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 5: the insurance company and get him to make and make

1201
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 5: a statement, but it was impossible. He stopped responding to

1202
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 5: my text about the situation, so I called him. He

1203
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 5: cleared the call. I called again, He cleared it again.

1204
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 5: Then he texted me, I'm with my parents, okay, but

1205
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 5: this is a serious situation and I need to speak

1206
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 5: with you about it. Can you please answer. I don't

1207
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 5: want to fight with you in front of my parents.

1208
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 5: This isn't a fight. I need details about the accident

1209
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 5: from you. He still won't take my call, so I

1210
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 5: send him kind of a crappy text, something along the

1211
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 5: lines of you can't even show me the respect to

1212
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 5: take my call about something serious. This isn't even a

1213
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 5: real relationship to you.

1214
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: Silence.

1215
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 5: Finally, after two hours of radio silence and me being very,

1216
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 5: very upset, I call again. He answers and says, I

1217
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 5: don't know have the energy to do this with you

1218
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 5: right now. I'm painting. I don't want to talk. I say,

1219
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 5: what about my feelings? What about me? He scoffs, what

1220
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 5: about you? And then he hangs up. I haven't heard

1221
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 5: from him since. I know he's waiting for me to

1222
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 5: break down and contact him, as that has historically been

1223
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 5: the case. And there is an update breakup.

1224
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's the reaction to like and in

1225
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: his head he's probably like, well, I mean your car

1226
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: didn't even get hurt.

1227
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's like I got someone else was involved

1228
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,479
Speaker 5: who probably has damaged to their car.

1229
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's probably let's be honest, if you get

1230
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: into a fender vender in a parking lot and you

1231
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: can't smooth talk your way out of dealing with that

1232
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: with just cash, what are we doing?

1233
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

1234
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 5: Man? Don't keep cash on me.

1235
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: You got venmo, you got anything, you got any kind

1236
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: of way to transfer money to another person, to say, Hey,

1237
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: this isn't my car, is my girlfriend's car.

1238
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm not on your insurance. Let's do this with cash.

1239
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't.

1240
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 2: Everyone wins if he has.

1241
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 5: If there was no damage to Opie's car, I can't

1242
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 5: imagine there was that much damage. The other surface scratch

1243
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 5: yeah yeah, and the fact that yeah, it's just like,

Speaker 5: my time, and still not a word from this fool.

1246
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 5: He gives no craps. I'm done. And second update he

1247
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 5: contacted me. The text I got was we have the

1248
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 5: kind of love that was forged in adventure and sealed

1249
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 5: in the bedroom. What no mention of the accident or

1250
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 5: the fight? How do I even respond to this? You

1251
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 5: don't You don't respond to that text? There are some

1252
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 5: relevant comments, Stormy Lluellyn. He's thirty five, Seriously dump his butt.

1253
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 5: He got into an accident in your car, didn't tell you,

1254
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 5: denies it, acts like he forgot and then won't speak

1255
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 5: to you about it.

1256
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: Wow.

1257
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 5: I can't express how fast I'd be out of that relationship,

1258
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 5: and Katie Nelson eight nine eight says, okay, but like

1259
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 5: the last message she sent her, we have the type

1260
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 5: of love that's forged and adventure and sealed in the

1261
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 5: bedroom is a quote from the Netflix show Disenchantment, Opie,

1262
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 5: it wasn't even an original lame a week a line.

1263
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 2: Oh heck, no, that's so obvious.

1264
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 5: Like it wasn't even original. He stole that, he copy

1265
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 5: pasted and it still sucked. No ordinary rabbit says, is

1266
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 5: your name Gwen? John Honey for twenty says, do you

1267
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 5: know the extent of the damage on the other car

1268
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 5: or a possible contact? Maybe directly speak to the owner

1269
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 5: of the other vehicle, And Opie says, from what my

1270
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 5: insurance says, the lady just wants her deductible paid out

1271
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 5: five hundred dollars to get her bumper fixed. Dumb dumb

1272
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 5: boyfriend says, though it was barely a scratch, that seems

1273
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 5: like a lot of money. I like the idea of

1274
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 5: talking to the chick directly, and top comments blah blah.

1275
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 5: Hannah says, are you absolutely positive that he isn't actually

1276
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 5: three children in a trench coat? Opie says, omfg, I

1277
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 5: am crying laughing at this, and there is an update,

1278
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 5: um Man, oh man, But yeah, I think this relationship

1279
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 5: is kind of over. Unfortunately, if this is how he handles.

1280
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: This of this look, I'm sorry again, I'm circling. I've

1281
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: I've hammered this point a few times. If you're thirty five,

1282
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: you don't know how to negotiate out of a fender bender.

1283
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: I don't know you're not ready.

1284
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 5: Five and calls from the insurance company about the accident

1285
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 5: you got into in your girlfriend's car.

1286
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: Right and all.

1287
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Ready for a relationships stems from being unable to grease

1288
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: the palm of that person in the moment when you

1289
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: made the mistake and you say, hey, they're just scratch.

1290
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 5: On your This man just sounds like he avoids all

1291
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 5: sorts of conflict.

1292
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: You know, entirely know how to talk what I would

1293
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: talk your way through a situation some time.

1294
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 5: Update. I was straight up blown away by the support, suggestion,

1295
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 5: and compassion I was shown by total strangers. So I

1296
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 5: know most of you said ghostem but I just couldn't.

1297
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 5: While undoubtedly that is what he deserved, I needed to

1298
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 5: hear from his perspective why he thought any of this

1299
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 5: was okay, because before I could close the door, And honestly,

1300
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 5: I'm glad I did, because it's solidified for me that

1301
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 5: this relationship was an excellent learning experience, that I had

1302
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 5: done my learning and it was time to move f

1303
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 5: the f on. His avoidance of the situation was explained

1304
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 5: by his thinking it wasn't that big of a deal.

1305
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 5: He said that he didn't understand why this lady was

1306
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 5: making such a big fuss about her bumper, and that

1307
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 5: I was unreasonably upset about it, and you didn't want

1308
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 5: to talk about it until I had calmed down. Oh oh,

1309
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 5: I kept it together until I got his side of

1310
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 5: the story. According to him, they were both backing out

1311
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 5: of their parking spots and smacked into each other. He

1312
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 5: was all the way out of a spot, she was

1313
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 5: halfway out of hers when bang I literally dialed the

1314
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 5: phone and sat with him while he called the insurance

1315
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 5: rep and gave a statement. He was found at fault

1316
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 5: due to his being all the way out of the spot.

1317
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 5: I am not one hundred percent sure what this means

1318
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 5: for me, my policy, or my pocket yet as far

1319
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 5: as the relationship done. When he came over to talk,

1320
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 5: I had all his things packed up. I tried to

1321
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 5: explain how hurt and disappointed I was about his actions

1322
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 5: and told and told him that I could no longer

1323
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 5: trust him because of how terribly he handled the situation.

1324
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 5: He said, I crap, you not, oh please. You just

1325
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 5: set a fire and expected me to come to your

1326
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 5: rescue and put it out, and when I didn't, you

1327
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 5: threw a fit. I'm sorry, I just didn't have the

1328
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 5: energy to put out your fire. This is your god

1329
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 5: dang fire, set by your crappy actions and fueled by

1330
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 5: your avoidance. I burst into tears, handed him as bad

1331
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 5: and said I needed him to leave now. I told

1332
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 5: him anything of mine left at his place he can

1333
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 5: throw away or leave there until his next victim or

1334
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 5: mother comes and cleans it for him. Speaking of his mother,

1335
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 5: I did listen to you and crafted a very detailed

1336
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 5: email to her with him ce seed. I explained what

1337
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 5: happened and then asked her for his driver's license number

1338
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 5: and policy name and ID number, just in case it's needed.

1339
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 5: Her response was, I'm very sorry that you're having to

1340
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 5: deal with this, but I don't see how this is

1341
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 5: our problem if it's your car. I feel like this

1342
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 5: whole family or a bunch of lizard people sent to

1343
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 5: earth to make me question my reality. By the way,

1344
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 5: the reality of your situation is that you can listen

1345
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 5: to full episodes of stories just like this. Just go

1346
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 5: to Apple Podcast, Spotify or iHeartRadio and search it by Okay,

1347
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 5: stort time, but there is a little bit left.

1348
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 2: But dang a family of reptilia.

1349
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 5: Yang. I mean moral of the story. Be careful who

1350
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 5: you let to drive your car.

1351
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean make.

Speaker 5: Sure that they have some inture. Honestly, like I it's

01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 5: very very you know, my parents are always in don't

1354
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 5: let anyone drive your car because.

1355
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 2: You're not insured.

1356
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: You need to if you know, like if you have

1357
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: a partner, you live with somebody, if you know someone's

1358
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: gonna be driving your car a lot, if you have

1359
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: a roommate, whatever, you can add them to your insurance.

1360
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: You can add drivers to insurance.

1361
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, make sure you do that, because honestly, even

1362
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 5: if he was a good guy and like took care

1363
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 5: of this, he'd still not be on the insurance. And right,

1364
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 5: there's so many instances where accidents happen by you know,

1365
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 5: by accident.

1366
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: It's called c y A. This is what my mom

1367
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: taught me. It stands for cover your booty.

1368

Speaker 5: Uh, there's a little bit left anyway. Single at thirty two, Again,

1369
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 5: I am sad as f but trying to focus on

1370
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 5: the plus side. As someone said, cutting a bunch of wait.

1371
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 5: Thanks again for all the love and laughs. And yes,

1372
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 5: once it is determined how much is this going to

1373
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 5: affect my rates in my pocket? I will be taking

1374
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 5: his cartoon quoting a to small claims court. I have

1375
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 5: already spoken to my attorney about it. Much love, Pixie

1376
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 5: relevant comment says uh or t three tent.

1377
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 2: She didn't, he didn't.

1378
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 5: I don't see how this is our problem. If he's

1379
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 5: your car, well, we found where he gets it from.

1380
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 5: And op says, seriously, here's the thing. If it had

1381
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 5: been me and his car, you best believe his family

1382
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 5: would have expected me to pay for any damages. And

1383
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 5: they have stupid money. Yeah, people who have stupid money

1384
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 5: have stupid money for a reason, because they're stingy with it.

1385
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: You want to hear really quick a story time of

1386
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: the stupidest stupid money I've ever seen in my life.

1387
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: I grew up in Saint Louis, the Bush family that

1388
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: owned Anheuser Busch from Saint Louis low key the family's curse,

1389
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: but that's a different story. There was a guy, one

1390
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: of the bush children, had a finger monkey, had a

1391
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: little pigmy finger monkey that he would bring with him

1392
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: to parties. That sounds illegal, it probably was, Oh my goodness,

1393
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: but they had like hundreds of million stupid money, if

1394
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: not maybe billions of dollars.

1395
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: So and boil boy, was he a sack of rocks

1396
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: up here?

1397
01:04:55,360 --> 01:05:01,400
