Yeah, that's true, or I pass out. 64 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: It sounds like weakness of the flesh. 65 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: Yeah it is. 66 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: I asked him if I could use his computer to 67 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: do a few things, since it was right there and 68 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm a slow eater. He agreed and just turned it 69 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: over to me. He left on his run and I 70 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: got to work.

The other browser had one thing up, 78 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: the blog u oh. I noticed he didn't use the 79 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: name of the shop, but there was a clear picture 80 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: of it, and underneath there were probably fifty entries so far. 81 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: I didn't go through and read them all because after 82 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: I saw the first one, I got the idea.

The comments range from nothing to 113 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: spam to dedicated followers who talk about his crazy girlfriend, 114 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: how I'm absolutely nuts and he should run away.

My heart 155 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: is shattered because our relationship has been nothing but love 156 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: and smooth sailing, excitement and joy. He never shared my 157 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: spirituality with me, and it was never something that I 158 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: requested of him.

But it's my grandmother's business, 164 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: it's my ancestry, and it's my heritage.

He has a whole blog 168 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: about mocking those directly. Yeah, I think that this is 169 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: a relationship ending thing. It is pretty insane to me 170 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: to hide the fact that you think like a major 171 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: part of your partner's life is stupid, and that you're 172 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: actively insulting your online from your partner for two years. 173 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would go to him and be like, 174 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: you won't believe what I found. Yeah, I found a 175 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: blog that's talking about my shop. 176 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: I just I don't know who this is. 177 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: And the blog says that their wife is the one 178 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: who runs. 179 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: It sounds like someone we know who's is someone out 180 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: here pretending. 181 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: To be you.

That's the end of that relationship. 183 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: It would be devastating to fun. 184 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: Because the boundary of getting staying on the same page 185 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: of someone that isn't religious or like one person is 186 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: one of it. That's already hard enough exactly without the 187 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: eat because they're not on the same page. Yeah, So 188 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: having this. 189 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: We're like actively kind of belittling you for believing in 190 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: that unless. 191 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 2: You enjoy like climbing ninety degree mountains.

You know, 197 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: a person that is I think is capable and good 198 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: at the things that they do, uh, and the things 199 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: that they take pride in. 200 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is pretty pretty pretty shattering. Now. It's like, 201 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't think you get to look at this person 202 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: the same way again after you discover this thing. 203 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: Kim find says, wait, totally forgot.

That is so off makes me 228 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: want to cry just hearing that this happened to you. 229 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: The only thing you can do is talk to him 230 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: about it, and I think you need to say something 231 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: along the lines of this. To me, it is not 232 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: just about the spirituality. I have grown up hearing people 233 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: laugh at it and call it kooky and made up. 234 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: But it is my grandmother's business, it is my ancestry, 235 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: and it is my heritage. To me, he is mocking 236 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: those directly, which is exactly what Op he said in 237 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: the post. It's not funny, it's not a laughing matter, 238 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: and it is insanely disrespectful. And the fact that he's 239 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: been carrying on with it for so long. I really 240 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: can't wrap my head around why someone would mock something 241 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: so personal and cherish that they supposedly love. That's the 242 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: most childish thing I've ever heard. I had to go 243 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: back and check his age at the top of the post. 244 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Confront him, op He needs to apologize, take this blog down, 245 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: and beg for your forgiveness, Opie says, How do I 246 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: confront him? I've honestly never had to confront someone about 247 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: something like this before. A commenter, sleep Fight replies, so 248 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: I found your blog. That's literally all you need to say. 249 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: That's how you start focus on how it makes you 250 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: feel and that you feel like he doesn't respect you. 251 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: And I would also consider keeping these funds you make 252 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: from this business for yourself, at least for the time being. 253 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: If he can't respect it and actively trashes it, he 254 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve access to any of the profits beyond paying bills. 255 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: Opie says, Oh, yes, my business is mine and he 256 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: shares none of it. We're not married and have no 257 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: joint finances other than me helping him out with his 258 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: student loans. Since I didn't have them and prefer to 259 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: help with something like that, sleep Fight replies, I would 260 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: recommend stopping helping him out with his student loans for 261 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: now as well. He is being incredibly dis respectful about 262 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: you and your relationship. It would be wise to create 263 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: some consequences for this betrayal if you intend to continue 264 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: the relationship, andrews McGee. 265 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: It affects your thing.

I like how this commenter was like, I'm 332 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: not gonna speak on your guys' relationship because I don't know, 333 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: but I'm also gonna make all of these assumptions about 334 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: you outright based on the religion you something you. 335 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: Worked for, your family stores, so you must be crazy. 336 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: This is your boyfriend. 337 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: This commenter is like, I'm not trying to say he 338 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: was right, but did you deserve this? 339 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: I think you deserved it. 340 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: I know if I was in his shoes, and I 341 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: was with someone I loved and cared for immensely who 342 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: believed extremely heavily and something I found ridiculous, I would 343 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: need some type of escape from it. I would never 344 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: want to prohibit you from doing anything, and I would 345 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: never ask you to change something you cared so much for, 346 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: and would never put it down to you or your 347 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: friends or your family, But I would need some type 348 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: of a break from it. It seems like the blog 349 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: is his break, and kind of seems like it's the 350 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: only one he ever gets, since he's not even free 351 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: from it in his home. You need to discuss it 352 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: with him as rationally and calmly as possible, and I 353 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: know that's difficult when dealing with religion and spirituality, but 354 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: it's absolutely necessary that no one lose their cool during 355 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: their discussion.

That's like saying 362 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: that's like saying, oh, you know, you have a husband 363 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: and a wife, and the husband doesn't have any reprieve 364 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: at home with his wife, so he goes with his 365 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: buddies and he's like, oh my, my witch of a wife. 366 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 3: She's always nagging.

He doesn't follow his own religion, 381 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: but he is not an atheist. He just hasn't found 382 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: what works for him yet. To be clear, it is 383 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: not a big part of my friendships, and I don't 384 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: really talk about it other than when he asks if 385 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: anything interesting happens or anything like that.

That and the 828 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 3: cheating just I really can't. I'll always wonder why he 829 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: couldn't be a man and come to me if he 830 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 3: was unhappy with our relationship. But I don't care enough 831 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 3: anymore to talk to him and ask Bill Pullman. Trucker says, curious, OP, 832 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 3: you dated this guy for six years. In hindsight, are 833 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 3: there any red flags that show how terrible of a 834 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 3: person he truly seems to be? Op says, the more 835 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 3: I think about it, Yeah, in hindsight, he was a 836 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 3: very selfish person. Every nice thing he did for me 837 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 3: was a benefit to himself. I don't remember him ever 838 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 3: being selfless, especially in the last year of us dating, 839 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 3: even though he had no problems criticizing me in my 840 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,720 Speaker 3: appearance if I didn't take advantage of presents. He offered 841 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 3: me stuff like getting my hair doning frop like that. 842 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 3: And that is the end of that story. Thank goodness, 843 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 3: that guy is gone. 844 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: All his gifts to you are like hair extensions and 845 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: sales and makeup. Okay, it's like, yeah, bib no, this 846 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: will help you look better. 847 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 3: And say, oh, oh, thanks, appreciate that. 848 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, it look better for me. Don't you want to 849 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: look better for me? 850 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 3: But that's the end of that story, folks, And we've 851 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 3: got another one coming right up. 852 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: My husband ignores all the house rules while I do everything. 853 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 3: You can't do that. 854 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: I am thirty three years old and have been with 855 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: my partner for eight years. We got together when I 856 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: was twenty and he was eighteen, and now we are 857 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: twenty eight and twenty six. Over the years, we have 858 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: gone through many changes, both as individuals and as a couple. 859 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: We've grown, laughed and cried together during this time. We've 860 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: had four children and got engaged five years ago. No 861 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: wedding yet, but that's a whole other story. And by 862 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: the way, this comes from user moving in Shadows five 863 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: thousand direct from the r slash Okay story time subreddit, 864 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: and if you want to submit your own stories, go there, 865 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: and we're here to give good advice goofly, but we 866 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: don't have all the answers because we're just bunch of goofballs. 867 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: We just know what we do, so tell us what 868 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 1: you would do in the comments and op says. Although 869 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: we've both evolved, one thing that seems to have stayed 870 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: relatively the same as our respect for each other. In 871 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: many ways, it has grown and we have gained mutual 872 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: respect for different aspects of each other's lives. However, at 873 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I feel as though I'm 874 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: not respected in my beliefs or wishes. I'm starting to 875 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: question if he ever has respected me orrever will. Some background, 876 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: I am a stay at home mom to four children, 877 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: ages six, five, two, and six months. It is a 878 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 1: lot of work and sometimes I fail to keep the 879 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: house looking nice or have a proper dinner ready when 880 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: he comes home. I am not perfect. I have a 881 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: lot of growing to do, but I am trying. I've 882 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: always struggled with depression, and I experienced severe postpartum depression 883 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: after some of my children. I am trying. He sees 884 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: this and is generally kind and understanding and quick to 885 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: help in his own way. What does that mean mean 886 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: help in his own way? Is that by being like, 887 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: do this, I'm helping. I'm telling you what to do 888 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 1: so you don't have to think of it. 889 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 3: It's called delegation. 890 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes his frustration shows, which puts me in a weird mood. 891 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: I can't blame him, but it does hurt, and I 892 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: wish I could be and do better now for how 893 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: I feel he doesn't respect me and my wishes. A 894 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: few examples that frustrate me the most. He doesn't follow 895 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: the rules I've tried to set in our house for 896 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: six years. These rules are not extreme, they are simple 897 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: household standards that I imagine most families would follow. His 898 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 1: disregard shows our children that they don't have to respect 899 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: rules and can do whatever they want. This feels extremely 900 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: disrespectful to our home and to me. A major rule 901 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: he constantly bends is that food should be eaten at 902 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: the table. He refuses to practice this, and anytime he 903 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: feeds the kids, he allows them to eat wherever they want, 904 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: whether on the couch or other areas. 905 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 3: So it doesn't seem like it's his rule. Seems like 906 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 3: it's just a thing that he thinks would be nice. Yeah, 907 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 3: but he doesn't actually follow. No, he doesn't make the 908 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 3: a rule. 909 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: Opis like we should eat at the table. He was like, man, no, 910 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 1: He's like, okay, I don't care. 911 00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's rude. 912 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: I might eat on at the couch, which I'm a 913 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: fan of, but whatever. He also does not wipe them 914 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,439 Speaker 1: down or clean the surfaces they eat on. The kids 915 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: are allowed to roam with dirty hands, and I'm left 916 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: to clean up the mess on the table, couches, and 917 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: around the house. Oh so it's not even like you 918 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: guys are all eating in this. They're all eating eating 919 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: in their bedroom, one person on the couch. 920 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,240 Speaker 3: Even a mess. 921 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: That's weird. 922 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 2: That's just weird. 923 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: Another ongoing issue is garbage. I remind him that garbage 924 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 1: goes in the garbage and recycling in the recycling bit 925 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: pretty standard. He constantly mixes them, even throwing bottles and 926 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: cans in the garbage instead of recycling. 927 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 3: See that's my pet, Peeve. I know that a lot 928 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 3: of recycling isn't actually recycled, but just let's just recycle. 929 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: Let's just try. Might as well got two bins. They've 930 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: got two bins. 931 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 3: We might as well. 932 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: I say, save all of your plastic bottles and containers 933 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: and make a house out of it. 934 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 3: You could do that. Actually, they are doing that. 935 00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: You should do that. 936 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're doing making houses out of like it's kind 937 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 3: of like the Wally houses where they like compact all 938 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 3: the plastics. 939 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, plastic house. 940 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. 941 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: Bedtime is another area of tension. He will spend hours 942 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: on his computer almost every night and on days off, 943 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: much of the day, leaving me to handle bedtime for 944 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: all four children alone. Bedtime can take me two to 945 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: three hours, depending on the children's behavior. Even when I 946 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 1: ask for help, he continues with his activities on the computer. 947 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: A recent incident pushed me to write this post. We 948 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: both go out occasionally. My outings typically last one to 949 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 1: three hours, but I often return early to handle the kids. 950 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: These outings are a mix of errands and personal times, 951 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: such as grabbing coffee while shopping. During these times, I 952 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: keep in contact via text or phone with him. His 953 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: outings can last one to seven hours, and he usually 954 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: does not communicate much with me. Why are you doing 955 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: outings together? Yeah, what's going on there. 956 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 3: It just feels like it's all very separate, Like they 957 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 3: don't eat together because he doesn't really care. He doesn't 958 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 3: try and help, like get the kids down, which can 959 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 3: be you know, if you actually work together a more 960 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 3: enjoyable process, like you read to the kids or like 961 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 3: you know, have a little fun at bath time. It 962 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 3: doesn't have to be a stressful thing if we're working together. 963 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 3: But it doesn't seem like he really wants to. 964 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: Be partners, it really does. It feels like he's just 965 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: clocking in. I understand he doesn't have to communicate, but 966 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: I like knowing where he is and what he's doing, 967 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: especially in case something happens at home. This helps me 968 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: plan my day. Today he was gone for seven hours 969 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: with our eldest child, who was also at a friend's house. 970 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: This is fine, and I support their time together. What 971 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: frustrates me is that he knew I had errands to 972 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: run today. I had asked our eldest if she wanted 973 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: to join me for a little date day. He then 974 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: invited her skateboarding, which she wanted to do but could 975 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: not fully enjoy because of her prior plans. They returned 976 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: at seven forty PM close to bedtime, leaving me to 977 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: handle the evening routine alone. A side note, I dislike 978 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: running errands at night, and he is aware pet stores 979 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: close at nine and I still needed to buy cat 980 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: food you can buy at other stores. But that's not 981 00:42:59,680 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: the point. 982 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 3: Just feels like this guy is inconsiderate. 983 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 1: I think a good challenge would be like, Okay, clearly 984 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: there's no respect going both ways here. Let's see how 985 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 1: you handle the kids. Yeah, I just want to see 986 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: how you would handle it. And if you can't, guess what, 987 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: you start showing me way more respect. Because you can't 988 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: do what I do. You should also work on that. 989 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 3: You s start figuring out how to be a dad. 990 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: Parenting for both parents. Maybe time to lock in a 991 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 1: little bit on that agreed buccaroo basinga. At the end 992 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 1: of the day, I love my husband, but his actions 993 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: drive me bananas. I want our relationship to succeed, but 994 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: I often feel unheard and disrespected. I do not know 995 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: how to communicate with him effectively because it feels like 996 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: our conversations never stick. And he advised on how to 997 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: navigate these conflicts while maintaining our relationship would be greatly appreciated. 998 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: Thank you for reading and being my shoulder to cry on. 999 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: And there are some comments here. Yeah, I think honestly, 1000 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: just be like, I want to see how you could 1001 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: take how you handle this. 1002 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you sit down, you say, hey, I'm going away 1003 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 3: for a weekend. And I know right now you have 1004 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 3: not been stepping up, and I want this moment to 1005 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,879 Speaker 3: be a chance for you to do that, because it's 1006 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 3: just getting out of hand. 1007 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, even just the notion of like, I feel like 1008 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: I can't go away for a weekend, Yeah, because I 1009 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: don't know if I could even like trust you to 1010 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: do it, Yeah, trust you to take care of the 1011 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: kids in the house and all this stuff. 1012 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,399 Speaker 3: It's like that Doctor Who episode where James Corden. 1013 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 5: Is a an episode with James Gordon. 1014 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 3: Two of the best episodes in Doctor two are with 1015 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 3: James Cordon, and that is not a joke. James Gordon 1016 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 3: was one of my favorite characters in Doctor Hill. He 1017 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 3: literally is in two episodes. They're saying they are stellar episodes. 1018 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,760 Speaker 3: This is like early early James James Cordon. 1019 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: James Cordon before everyone hated him. 1020 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is so funny in those episodes. But he 1021 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 3: has a baby in the second episode that he appears 1022 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 3: in and his wife goes away for the weekend, basically 1023 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 3: like leaves him in charge. He's like, I know, she 1024 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 3: just wants to see if I can handle it. And 1025 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 3: then there's there's cybermen, and he's like, I can't handle it. 1026 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 3: But then he shows up. I can't handle it. 1027 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 5: There's an alien invasion. 1028 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 3: I can't handle it, like I don't know how to 1029 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 3: do it. 1030 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 5: But then he shows up for his kid, Alfie, even 1031 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 5: during an alien invasion. Yeah, and this guy can't do 1032 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 5: a regular weekend. 1033 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 3: I can't even do a regular weekend. 1034 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 1: We got some comments. Your expectations are not too high. 1035 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: They may not be high enough. He is not being 1036 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: a partner and that is not okay. Being a stay 1037 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: at home mom is a full time job and just 1038 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: because you have off days doesn't mean you don't deserve 1039 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: help or a break. He doesn't even help you with 1040 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: bedtime for your four kids. That's ridiculous. A discussion is 1041 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 1: definitely needed in some boundary set. If he doesn't respect them, 1042 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: you should consider your options in leaving as this will 1043 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: likely never change. I say this all from a long 1044 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: relationship of the same and honestly trying so dang hard 1045 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: for the smallest changes and getting almost nothing. So I 1046 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: know it's easier said than done, but really ask yourself 1047 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: if this is how you want to live hope, He replies. 1048 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: I definitely need to have a sit down about boundaries, 1049 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,840 Speaker 1: and the option about leaving has unfortunately crossed my mind 1050 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: on many occasions. The only problem I'm having is that 1051 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: now we moved fourteen hours away from our families, we 1052 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 1: have no support out here and would be one hundred 1053 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 1: percent on our own raising four kids. And I don't 1054 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: want to make a split family if I don't have to. 1055 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: But changes need to happen, and that is the end 1056 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: of that story. And I agree. 1057 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about it with him and you say, hey, 1058 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 3: then I don't want to break up this family, but 1059 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 3: we need a huge change. And if that means we 1060 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 3: got to move back to my family, or I have 1061 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 3: to move back to be with my family so I 1062 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 3: can get some support. 1063 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,439 Speaker 1: I just, uh, yeah. If nothing's getting through and he's 1064 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: just you know, just on the computer, probably playing games, 1065 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: probably just playing games on the computer, not being an 1066 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: actual parent, oh yeah, yeah, I don't know, Maybe just 1067 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: appeal to his feelings. It's like, do you even like 1068 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: consider yourself a dad? Like do you want to be 1069 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: a parent? Yeah, you're just like you just you just 1070 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: hate out just to hang out, or you just you're 1071 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: just a fun hang You're not acting like their dead. 1072 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 3: You play skateboard, you know, you go go skateboard with them. 1073 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: You're you're a big fifth child, Holly. Does that sit 1074 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: right with you? 1075 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 3: Don't sit right with me.

In that video, op kept getting their 1086 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 3: private moments ruined because the neighbor would bang on the 1087 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 3: walls and doors every time Opie and her boyfriend try 1088 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 3: to have spicy sleep. The neighbors screamed at them, yelled 1089 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 3: about their dog, and made living there stressful. Opie's boyfriend 1090 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 3: refused to even defend op or talk to the landlord. 1091 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 3: After more incident Dent's, where he still didn't stand up 1092 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 3: for Ope or their dog, oh Pie realized he never 1093 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 3: protects her in any situation. Opie finally ended the relationship. 1094 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 3: The whole story shows how the neighbor wasn't the only problem. 1095 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 3: Opie's boyfriend was too.

Well, letting a dog pee on someone's stuff 1111 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 5: is really effing rude. There's dirty and there's dog pee. 1112 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 5: The appropriate response is apologizing and now defending a poorly 1113 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 5: socialized dog. Yeah, no, you're definitely part of the problem. 1114 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so basically there was a part in this 1115 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 3: story where this neighbor has been rude and aggressive and 1116 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,319 Speaker 3: then OPI is like taking her dog out, and the 1117 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 3: dog kind of like lunges a little bit at the 1118 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 3: neighbor and like bart from what I remember, and OPI 1119 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,439 Speaker 3: like pulls it back. Uh, and then the neighbor gets 1120 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 3: super upset and she's like, well, like, don't go by 1121 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 3: my dog, blah blah blah. And I do kind of 1122 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 3: agree with that commenter about. 1123 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 5: That comment three by Leopold thirty three w Yeah, woman 1124 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 5: with the dog sounds like she is the problem. Sounds 1125 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 5: like she wants people to mind read and be understanding 1126 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,439 Speaker 5: of her situation and the dog and is complaining about 1127 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 5: how other people aren't seeing it from her perspective. And 1128 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,879 Speaker 5: I think she isn't the best narrator where I think 1129 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 5: covering my mouth during spicy sleep isn't enough because people 1130 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 5: can be loud even with the mouth covered. I'm getting 1131 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 5: the vibe that this woman does what she wants and 1132 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,400 Speaker 5: gets upset that people aren't cool with letting her know 1133 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,080 Speaker 5: that she can be a problem. She mentioned that the 1134 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 5: neighborhoods a baby. Babies are often put to sleep late 1135 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 5: in the afternoon or still asleep at six am. It 1136 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 5: sounds like she wants other people to be considerate of her, 1137 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 5: but she's not considerate of others. 1138 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds like sounds. 1139 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 1: Like we might have a little stinky Op in this story. 1140 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 5: And last comment by melan Nie second story. Dog will 1141 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 5: stay reactive because Op is. 1142 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,839 Speaker 3: But that's the end of those comments and the end 1143 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 3: of this episode.
