He said he's just depleted by the end 668 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 2: of the day. Am I overreacting by thinking this is 669 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: total bullshit? Before I sound like too much of a brat. 670 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: I know he speaks to his sister once per week 671 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: about a show they always watched together, and my love 672 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 2: language also happens to be words of affirmation, but I 673 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: find it very hard to feel loved and I don't 674 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 2: get any words from him, much less words of affirmation. 675 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm supposed to move in with him soon, hopefully two 676 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 2: months from now, but I'm wondering if that's the right 677 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: move on my part. Are we just going to not 678 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: talk during the week even though we live together. I 679 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: can take any constructive criticisms you all can give. 680 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 5: Thanks so much. 681 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 7: Jen Hi, jud Jen Hi. 682 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 5: Hi. 683 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 4: This is our special guest Brittany for today Brusky Hi Gorge, 684 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 4: Hi Hi. 685 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 7: Okay, what a situation. 686 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so tell us more. We read your letter, so 687 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: you don't text with him even during the week. 688 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 6: So I basically get like a gift in the morning, 689 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 6: so it'll say good morning, and it's a gift. He's 690 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 6: just a gift person. And then at night it's good night. 691 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 6: I love you with a gift. That has been for 692 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 6: like the past three four months. And sometimes we do talk, 693 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 6: but it's rare. For instance, three weeks ago, he called 694 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 6: me and he talked to me for about thirty seconds 695 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 6: and then said, oh, I gotta go, my boss is 696 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 6: calling me and I said okay, and then we didn't 697 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 6: talk for the rest of the day and then I 698 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 6: got my good night gifts. So I know, I know, 699 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 6: it is kind of like a funny situation, but it's 700 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 6: also like I don't know what to do. 701 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 4: Well, okay I was. 702 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, when you said you're going to move in 703 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: with him, I just figured problem solved because obviously you're 704 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: going to talk when you live together. 705 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 6: Right, That's what I think too. But here's the thing, 706 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 6: so I brought this up six months ago, and that's 707 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 6: when he had and I call it his little temper tantrum, 708 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 6: but really it wasn't. He was just frustrated. 709 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 4: I get that. 710 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 6: But that was six months ago, and I thought that 711 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 6: we were going to move in within the next couple 712 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 6: of months because this house would be done. Well I 713 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 6: don't know when his house is going to be done now. 714 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 6: I mean, they keep pushing things back, and so could 715 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 6: it be another six months? And am I supposed to 716 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 6: live like this for six months? And I know that 717 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 6: there's like an end goal, but still it's very frustrating. 718 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 4: And remind me again how long you guys have been together. 719 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 6: So we've been together since November. 720 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 4: Twenty twenty one, so a couple of years. 721 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, almost a couple of years. 722 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 4: Yes, And it. 723 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 6: Hasn't always been like this, But I can understand he 724 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 6: you know, he has a lot on his mind and 725 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 6: a lot on his plate. But when I brought it 726 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 6: up a while ago, I said, look, I'm sure the 727 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 6: president of the United States still calls and texts his 728 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 6: wife and he's got a lot more shit going on 729 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 6: than you. Trust me, oh am, I allowed to say shit, 730 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 6: Yeah what, yes, yes, you are the show right. 731 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 7: Are you? Yes? 732 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 5: But I'm nervous. 733 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: Sorry, Oh no, don't It's okay. Yes, you could say 734 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: whatever you want, thank you, KND pussy fuck twist, I 735 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: mean titty twist or whatever, just twist twist. So okay, 736 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: a couple of things, Brittany, do you want to jump 737 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: in or do you want me to start? 738 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 3: My question is well, I guess more of a statement 739 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 3: is if he wanted to, he would like. I think 740 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 3: that that's the overarching thing here is he's kind of 741 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 3: making it evident that communicating with his partner is not 742 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 3: really top of his priority list, agreed, even after like 743 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 3: bringing the issue up to him. So that's kind of this, like, 744 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 3: is he just willfully ignoring me on purpose? 745 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 7: Does he really care about me? Am? 746 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,479 Speaker 3: I just an afterthought? Like that's that's where my spiral 747 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: would start. 748 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I even wrote all my bullet points down. That's 749 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 6: just the person that I am. That's weird, I know, 750 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 6: but I just want to get it all out and 751 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 6: I want to make sure like I'm hitting every single 752 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 6: bullet point because I want him to know how I feel. 753 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,239 Speaker 6: And this isn't like a I'm blaming you. This is 754 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 6: more like a I feel this way, so please take 755 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 6: care of it because if you don't, And I hate ultimatums, 756 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 6: and this is kind of an ultimatum. But I feel 757 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 6: like I'm such a strong person and I've been married 758 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 6: and divorced and I just know what I want in life. 759 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 6: And if you're not it, that's okay, that's totally fine. 760 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 6: And if you can't meet me here, which I don't 761 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 6: think it's a lot to ask to call me once 762 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 6: a week. 763 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 7: No, that's bare minimum. 764 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's literal bare minimum. 765 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: So and the idea of you want more interaction, he 766 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: wants zero pretty much interaction except against during the week, right, 767 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: So in a relationship there is compromise, like he's got 768 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: to meet you in the middle. He's just doing what 769 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: he wants without regard for your desires, without making any effort, 770 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: especially when I know how that feels when somebody's like, oh, 771 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: i'll call you right back and then or I have 772 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: to get off the phone. You expect a call back 773 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: when they are done with their boss. So that's neglectful. 774 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: And it's just it's not a compromise. It's not fifty 775 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: to fifty what you're describing. You have needs, He doesn't 776 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: have to meet every single one of your needs. That's 777 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: also an unfair demand. But he has to be able 778 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: to come to meet you where you are and say, 779 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: this is what I can do, even though I hate 780 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: talking on the phone. You know, let's make sure we 781 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: connect midweek or a couple of times a week, whatever 782 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: would make you happy. That would be, you know, a 783 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: move in the right direction. And it doesn't have to 784 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: be an ultimatum. You can just declare that and then 785 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: see how he responds to it, and then you're going 786 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: to gather all the information you need. He'll either be 787 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: able to do it or he won't. Right, And you 788 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 1: shouldn't have to move in with someone to get to 789 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: see them exactly. 790 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 6: You know, we do spend weekends together. And I don't 791 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 6: tell him this, but this is how I feel when 792 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 6: I see him on Friday night, like the whole week 793 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 6: is just dumped on me, and it's like, oh, I 794 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 6: did this, and this happened, and then we did this, 795 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 6: and I'm like, can we break it up during the 796 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 6: week and tell me these things because right now I've 797 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 6: had a full week and I'm just exhausted and I 798 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 6: just want to chill and smoke some weed and hang 799 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 6: out and you know, do my thing. And so it's 800 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 6: it's a little bit hard, and I'm not afraid to 801 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 6: talk to him about it. I'm going to talk to 802 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 6: him about it because I feel like I. 803 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 4: Deserve more and good. 804 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 6: I am a strong woman. I can do it all alone. 805 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 6: I can be by myself, no big deal. The thing 806 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 6: is that he is just such an amazing person. And 807 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 6: maybe you know, I didn't make it super clear. Maybe 808 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 6: I just need to be like, hey, this isn't going 809 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 6: to work for me. 810 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: Or maybe it's hey, Wednesday nights, let's either go grab 811 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: a drink or let's have like a half hour phone 812 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: call just being like, you know what, let's throw in 813 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: a midweek thing.

You know, I like it. 827 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: You see, you seem very together and very grounded and competent. 828 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: So like, I'm not worried about your situation at all. 829 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: I think you're going to handle everything the way that 830 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: it needs to be handled, and you have absolutely every 831 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: right to say what you want, and then he can 832 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: show you that he's moving towards that direction. 833 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 4: You know, he doesn't have to bend over backwards for 834 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 4: you all the time. 835 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: But it's just a consideration that you deserve and when 836 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: you put it and frame it like I just feel 837 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: like I deserve better or not better, say I deserve 838 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: more from somebody who's I'm in a committed relationship with, 839 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: and for that to be too much to ask from 840 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: you doesn't make me feel good about us. 841 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's exactly what I've written down. You know. 842 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 6: All my bullet points are just like, if you wanted to, 843 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 6: you definitely would, And to me, you're showing me you 844 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 6: don't want to, and that's okay, that's okay you don't 845 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 6: want to. I don't want to force you. However, that 846 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 6: doesn't mean that I have to be in this relationship 847 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 6: as well. I mean it would break my heart, of course, 848 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 6: but I mean it is what it is. You can't 849 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 6: force someone to do something. 850 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 1: But I think that's also stating it like that, saying 851 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, if you can do this, that would be 852 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: great and that would be significant in us remaining together. 853 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: But I have to be honest, I'm starting to feel 854 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: like you're not willing to compromise and that's making me 855 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: question things and that would be heartbreaking for me. But 856 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,720 Speaker 1: I also need a certain amount of respect or consideration about, 857 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, what you desire rather than what's he desires, 858 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 1: which is not talking on the phone at all. 859 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 7: Right, I was gonna say, also there's like this. 860 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 4: Maybe I should date him. Actually, I also don't want 861 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 4: to talk on the phone. 862 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 6: I would love to just you know. 863 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 3: There's also this weird dynamic of it seems like it's 864 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 3: all about him all the time. 865 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 6: And you know, I think maybe he is a little 866 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 6: bit that way. I wouldn't say that he's a selfish person. 867 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 6: I think that sometimes he can become self centered. I've 868 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 6: never held that against him. However, the man when I'm. 869 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 4: With him, he just adores me. 870 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 6: He loves on me. He buys me anything I want. 871 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 6: If I literally go into any store and say, okay, 872 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 6: I want this, he's like cool and he just buys it. 873 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 6: And I know for some people that's like, oh, well, that's. 874 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 7: Not a big deal. 875 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 6: For me, it's so nice because I'm like, really extra, 876 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna be honest, and I'm like, oh wow, 877 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 6: a man wants to buy me stuff in dote on me. 878 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 6: But it's like the weirdest thing. Even my friends think 879 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 6: it's so weird. And I've even asked him, like, do 880 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 6: you have another family that you're entering. 881 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 5: It crossed my mind. 882 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 6: Are they all living in this trailer with you? No? 883 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 6: But but you know, like I've asked him and he's like, no, 884 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 6: absolutely not. And I do see how focused he is 885 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 6: and he enjoys his job. He's very much focused. But 886 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 6: you know, me being younger and also maybe just kind 887 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 6: of a little bit brattier than he's normally used to 888 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 6: and not I'm really not a brat, but when I 889 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 6: want something, it's like, can we just do this, Let's 890 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 6: just do this. You know. I think I'm a little 891 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 6: bit of a challenge for him, but sort of in 892 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 6: a good way. And I'm really hoping this all ends up. Yeah, 893 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 6: I want it, Tom. 894 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, And don't be a brat when you have this conversation, 895 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: because there's nothing bratty about it, right, you know, there's 896 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 1: nothing whiny or complaining. It's I think it's much more 897 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: effective to just say this is what I need in 898 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: a non emotional way, so that it helps a little 899 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: bit more, has a little bit more heft than just 900 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: being like I need you to call me. You know, 901 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's not a needy thing, it's a respect thing. 902 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 5: Yeah. 903 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 2: And putting a date on it of like, hey, let's 904 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 2: talk for twenty or thirty minutes on Wednesdays gives an 905 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 2: actionable goal that like either meeting or not meeting, rather 906 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 2: than like let's just talk more, which is more vague. Right, 907 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 2: But Jen, let us know how it goes. Okay, I'm 908 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 2: interested to hear. 909 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 4: I want to hear how the conversation goes. To follow 910 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 4: back up. 911 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 6: Okay, okay, we'll do Thanks everyone. 912 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks honey, goodbye, Okay, thank you, bye bye bye. 913 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 4: Catherine was done with that call. She's like, Okay, we 914 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 4: gotta move on. That goes She's like, I want to 915 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 4: get a kidney transplant. Catherine's like okay, well. 916 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 5: Good like goodbye. 917 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 7: Well. 918 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 5: Our next color is Hallie. She is dear Chelsea. 919 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 2: I'm the youngest of three girls, and my oldest sister 920 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: has a very tense relationship with our mom. She immediately 921 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: goes on the defensive around her, and every time they're 922 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 2: together they get into at least one little snippy conversation. 923 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: I'll admit our mom can be difficult, but I think 924 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 2: my middle sister and I are more able to see 925 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 2: that the things she says and does are often coming 926 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 2: from a place of insecurity. Even if we get into 927 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 2: an argument with her, we're more able to move on 928 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 2: and give her some grace. 929 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 5: Our oldest sister just. 930 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 2: Seems to assume the worst and hang on to every 931 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: little thing. Then she'll complain to us about it, and 932 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 2: we're not sure what to say. I think she wants 933 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 2: her kids to continue to have a relationship with our mom, 934 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 2: but it feels like she's at a crossroads and needs 935 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: to decide how she's going to move forward with her 936 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 2: own relationship with her, as the current state of it 937 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: makes it unpleasant for everyone. The irony is that my 938 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 2: oldest sister and our mom are more similar than they 939 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 2: care to admit. How can my middle sister and I 940 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 2: help our older sister figure out how to improve her 941 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 2: relationship with our mom, what boundaries to set and what 942 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 2: conversations to have? Thanks for any advice you can give. 943 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 4: Hallie Hi, Halle Hi, Hi. 944 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: This is Brittany Broski. She's our special guest today. 945 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 7: Hallie, Hey, nice to meet. 946 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: It's funny I had a conversation with a girlfriend this 947 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: morning on the phone because to her sister just was 948 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 1: visiting her and she's like, everything my sister does annoys 949 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: the shit out of me, and my friend is just 950 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,479 Speaker 1: the most, in my opinion, is the sweetest, most easy 951 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: going person in the world. So to hear her even 952 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: talk like that about her sister is it's always just 953 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: a test, right, Like it's basically the universe testing you, 954 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,439 Speaker 1: because if you keep failing the test that it keeps 955 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: triggering you and triggering you. And you have to basically 956 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: talk to your sister about treating your mom with kid 957 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: gloves and actually treating your mom like she's. 958 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 4: A kid, think of her like a kid. 959 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: And even though that's fucked up, because you're the kids, 960 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: you and your youngest sister. 961 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 9: I'm the youngest, so it's me and my middle sister. 962 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, you and your middle sister are obviously okay with 963 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: it and you're not taking it to task and it's 964 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 1: not disrupting your life. Right. 965 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 4: I think you're right. 966 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: I think that makes sense, and they're probably the similarity 967 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: between the two is why they are clashing, which is 968 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: very obvious. Also, so it's a very easy like psychology lesson, 969 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: but on a spiritual level, like in terms of energetic 970 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: being and your vibration and being cool and attracting goodness, 971 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 1: it is that you are lifting yourself up out of 972 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: kind of a low vibe when you have room and 973 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: space for people that you don't necessarily want to have 974 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: room and space for, or that annoy you, or that 975 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: trigger you, or all of the history that's involved. So 976 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: for her, if there's any way for you to engage 977 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: her in a conversation where you're talking like this about it, like, hey, 978 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: treat mom like she's a little kid. Let go of 979 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: the anger, Like try to just use it as a practice, 980 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: Like even when I am annoyed with someone, I make 981 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: it a note to send a text out to them 982 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: and say, hey, just thinking about you love you just 983 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: be because I want to flip the switch on my 984 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: own script in my head, you know, put out love 985 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: and when you're feeling negative, like it'll change her whole 986 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: entire life if she's able to let go of the tension, 987 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: And it won't happen overnight. But it is a practice, 988 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: just like anything you do to be a better person 989 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: or be a more mindful person and practice loving kindness. 990 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,720 Speaker 1: She needs love your mother. She's obviously damaged. Your sister's 991 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: obviously damaged from your mother, so she's holding on to it. 992 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: But what a great victory lap would it be for 993 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: your sister if she could release that and look at 994 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,760 Speaker 1: her with pity and treat her like a little girl 995 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: instead of like she's expecting her to be your mom. Right? 996 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 9: And what do you think about the fact that she 997 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 9: our oldest sister kind of puts me and our middle 998 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 9: sister in the middle a little bit and kind of 999 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 9: will express her grievances about our mom to us. And again, 1000 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 9: I mean, I think we have challenges with her too, 1001 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 9: so I can on the one hand, I can see it, 1002 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 9: and I want her to feel supported in that, but 1003 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 9: I also don't think it's healthy for her then to 1004 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,280 Speaker 9: be coming to us with those difficulties that she's having. 1005 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 4: I agree with that wholeheartedly. 1006 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 1: She shouldn't And you can say that in a very 1007 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: loving way as well, like, hey, I love both of you. 1008 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: It's upsets me every time you come to me talking 1009 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: about Mom. It's upsetting, Like, I just want you guys 1010 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: to get along. And I know it's not as easy 1011 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: for you, clearly, but I think that there might be 1012 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: a reason why it's not easier for you. That might 1013 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: be your challenge. Like that's a test, and if you 1014 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: can get past that, and you can ace that test, 1015 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: then there's a whole bunch of other. 1016 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 4: New stuff in the world that you're not going to. 1017 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 4: You know, you minimize the irritation of that person by 1018 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 4: just showering them with love, acceptance, and understanding and not 1019 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 4: looking for them to deliver something they've never shown you 1020 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 4: in the first place. 1021 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 2: There is a book called The Dance of Anger that 1022 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 2: you might recommend to your sister. 1023 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 5: It helps sort of unlatch. 1024 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 2: Some of that repetitive behavior of like going straight into anger. 1025 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 2: I know I had a pretty strained relationship with my 1026 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 2: dad maybe ten years ago, and it's got a lot better, 1027 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 2: and I think you know there is room for us 1028 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,439 Speaker 2: to learn and change and grow, but your sister does 1029 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 2: have to be, as Chelsea said, like making that effort 1030 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 2: to do that. I think it can just stay stagnant 1031 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 2: or get worse if someone's not actively trying to improve 1032 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 2: the situation. 1033 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, I think I think she's kind of in 1034 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 9: like a constant state of fight or flight, you know, 1035 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 9: with our mom, So that makes retal sense trying to 1036 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 9: help her lovingly, help her get to that place of 1037 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 9: having that dialogue with herself and figuring out what she 1038 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 9: can do to take steps to move forward. 1039 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: Because usually when you're acting like that, it's because you're 1040 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: seeing a part. 1041 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 4: Of you that you do not like. 1042 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: Like the similarities in you, we give the best advice 1043 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: of what we need to seek the most. When you 1044 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: see somebody that drives you crazy, it's because they're representing 1045 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: something in you yourself that you don't like. 1046 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 4: Brittany, were you going to say something, I was just 1047 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 4: gonna say, Yeah, it's an active choice. 1048 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Relationships like this are little moments of active choices 1049 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 3: where either you or your sisters are choosing whether or 1050 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 3: not to engage. And, like Chelsea said, how you're approaching it, 1051 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 3: to flip the switch and be like, in this moment, 1052 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 3: I'm recognizing this feeling of you know, the fighting is starting, 1053 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 3: or that pissed me off, or here we go back 1054 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: to the same shit, where making an active choice to 1055 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 3: just take a breath and respond differently because it is 1056 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 3: a choice, you know, Like that is to keep that 1057 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 3: in mind, that you have the power over how you 1058 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 3: react to a situation. All your siblings do, and your 1059 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 3: mom does too. But it's I deal with this with 1060 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 3: my mom where I am the parent and my mother 1061 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 3: is the child, and I have to gentle parent my 1062 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 3: own mom and it's fucking infuriating, and I have to 1063 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 3: take a breath and I have to like do breathing 1064 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 3: exercises in the bathroom. But like it's made all the difference, 1065 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 3: and it's a hard, hard thing. Family shit is so 1066 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 3: hard feeling you, feeling you sis, dang. 1067 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: Thank you. 1068 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 9: To your point, I think, of course, then I can 1069 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 9: decide how I react to them having their own reactions, 1070 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 9: you know exactly, So I can decide that I'm not 1071 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 9: going to have an inflammatory reaction to that circumstance. However, 1072 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 9: I think, like there are kids involved who are hearing them, 1073 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 9: you know, disagree. So I feel like, you know, I 1074 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 9: do want to be able to help them if I can. 1075 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's just it's all love based, 1076 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: it's all expression of love. 1077 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 4: For instance, my sister in law is. 1078 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: Annoying to me, and I really argue a lot about 1079 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: politics and stuff, but I realize how pointless it is 1080 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: to engage, right, So, and this has been a work 1081 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: in progress for many years. And so now when I 1082 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: see her, I just like shower her with love and affection, 1083 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: just shower her. 1084 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 4: With love and affection. 1085 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: And it kind of like my feelings towards her have diminished. 1086 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: My anger towards her has diminished, and I am feeling like, oh, 1087 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 1: she's just not open to our accessible, like she's she's 1088 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,879 Speaker 1: been indoctrinated. She's Russian, you know, like she doesn't she's 1089 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: never going to believe. 1090 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 4: That food is a bad guy. That's sad. Actually, that's 1091 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,879 Speaker 4: she's been brainwashed and indoctrinated. 1092 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 1: So instead of going at her with anger, now I'm 1093 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: just trying. And this is I'm trying. I haven't, you know, 1094 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 1: been completely successful thus far, but I'm working hard to 1095 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: make sure that my interactions with her are just love 1096 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: based and there isn't any acrimony. 1097 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 5: If all else fails. 1098 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes a little ant anxiety, a little out 1099 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 2: of anne or something like that before you have a 1100 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 2: family get together doesn't hurt. 1101 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 4: That's a great idea. 1102 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,240 Speaker 5: Actually, yeah, totally edibles. 1103 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 4: Does she take edibles? 1104 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: Your sister doesn't sound she sounds like she might need 1105 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: an edible though, right, you might want to slip a 1106 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: wanting to situations.

Wow, 1159 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 2: and there's like a boy and a girl and then 1160 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 2: I'm girl and then boy. But we're so far in 1161 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 2: distance from each other as far as age goes. My 1162 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 2: older brother likes to say, like, I'm glad I got 1163 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 2: out of the house before my parents got bored with parenting. 1164 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,439 Speaker 5: Like, but I loved it. I mean it was great. 1165 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 2: They still parented, but it was like we had sugary 1166 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 2: cereal and they had Raisin brand, you know that sort 1167 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 2: of you. 1168 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 7: Know, a little lax When you get to that fourth kid, 1169 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 7: it's just like, yeah, I ever did. 1170 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like they write you a note saying good luck. 1171 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 7: Oh truly. 1172 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 2: My parents traveled all the time when we were growing up, 1173 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 2: people are be like, where are your parents now? 1174 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't know, They're just gone. Someone's saying 1175 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,839 Speaker 5: with us somewhere. Yeah, we had fun. 1176 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 7: We had a good time. 1177 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 3: My siblings, they're my half siblings. So, like my parents 1178 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 3: got divorced when I was one or two, and then 1179 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 3: my dad remarried when I was four, and then from 1180 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 3: then on, I've had half siblings. And it was It's 1181 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,720 Speaker 3: so funny because I was always thought one out obviously 1182 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 3: because I was older, and I was going back and 1183 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 3: forth because of custody battles and all that. 1184 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 4: And oh were their custody battles. 1185 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 3: Constantly growing up until like high school. But it was 1186 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 3: like my siblings just kind of watched that, you know, 1187 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 3: and they were like, who is. 1188 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 7: What do you mean? 1189 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 3: Brittany has a mom like another mom, Like they just 1190 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 3: didn't understand, but kind of understood, and it didn't really 1191 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,759 Speaker 3: affect like all through that, it didn't really affect our relationship, 1192 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 3: which is cool, like you said, you know, like we 1193 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 3: all grew up in the same house. Like I was 1194 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 3: still being parented by my dad and my stepmom the 1195 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 3: same way that they were, and my dad really made 1196 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 3: an effort to like, if one of y'all's punished this way, 1197 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 3: the other one will be too, you know, like there's 1198 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 3: no special treatment, there's no whatever. And I think that 1199 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 3: really really paid off because I feel like some parents, 1200 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 3: you know, you have to do different parenting techniques for 1201 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 3: different kids, and that shows up in their adult life 1202 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 3: of like I was never told no or I was 1203 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 3: never this that. So I'm very fortunate that I had 1204 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 3: parents with level heads, especially in the midst of a divorce, 1205 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 3: like a nasty divorce too, where some people aren't so lucky. 1206 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 3: So it's an interesting dynamic with half siblings too, because 1207 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 3: it's like we're kind of blood related but also kind of. 1208 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 5: Not yeah, not at all. 1209 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is interesting. And also just to be a. 1210 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: Child of divorce and all of that that comes with that, 1211 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 1: because it can be one experience for one person a 1212 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: quite different one for another person. So when they were 1213 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 1: having custody battle over you, how did they drag you 1214 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: into that? 1215 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 4: Did your mom or dad? 1216 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 7: Not? Really? 1217 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 3: They never argued in front of me, which I'm very 1218 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 3: very thankful for, but I did like every other weekend, 1219 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 3: I was back and forth from probably like the ages 1220 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 3: of six to about six sixth grade, and that was hard, 1221 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 3: you know, like I don't know where I'm gonna be 1222 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 3: and I have homework that's due, but I left this 1223 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,839 Speaker 3: at my mom's house and I need. 1224 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 7: It's just a mess. And it was like. 1225 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 3: Resuing for custody over and over and it was just messy. 1226 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 4: But well, at least you were wanted, period. 1227 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, what a what a good problem to have. 1228 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 4: They want me to look that both parents wanted action. Yeah, 1229 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 4: that's nice. 1230 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm always so touched when a man is so determined 1231 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 1: to get custody. And then I'm like, listen to what 1232 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: you're saying. Parents, Why do we give that so much 1233 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 1: credit for behaving like a fucking father. 1234 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:42,320 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1235 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 2: Well, let's take a quick break and we'll be back 1236 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,839 Speaker 2: to finish up with Chelsea and Brittany. 1237 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,879 Speaker 5: And we're back, and we're back, and I have one 1238 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 5: more question. 1239 00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,839 Speaker 2: It's it's a little long winded, but I think it's 1240 00:52:58,920 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 2: an interesting one. 1241 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 1: To excuse me, Brittany just had to go to the 1242 00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: bathroom in studios. 1243 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 4: Are you okay? 1244 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 5: Hey there in the corner? 1245 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,399 Speaker 4: Okay, sorry about that, Sorry about that. Listeners, my fault. 1246 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 4: She's just wrapping up some COVID. 1247 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just a finishing up here really quick. 1248 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 4: Just top it off for COVID with her beer. 1249 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 7: Well. 1250 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 2: In the vein of Jen getting bought things from her boyfriend, 1251 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,759 Speaker 2: Ashley says, Dear Chelsea, I'm twenty eight and I've been 1252 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 2: dating my boyfriend, who's twenty nine, for a year and 1253 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 2: a half. He's an amazing and loving man and surpasses 1254 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 2: all of the other men I've been with. The problem 1255 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 2: I keep coming back to, though, is our differing views 1256 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 2: on money. I was raised in a very broke, conservative 1257 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,400 Speaker 2: household until I left home in my early twenties, but 1258 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 2: that really set me back in my education and career. 1259 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 2: I'm an extremely hard worker and have been even before 1260 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 2: I graduated high school, but that's mostly been out of necessity. 1261 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 2: In truth, I've always dreamed of going to art school 1262 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 2: and finding a creative career I enjoy. His life is 1263 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 2: the complete opposite. He owned a business and now has 1264 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 2: a great job, which he loves. He's not extremely wealthy, 1265 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,959 Speaker 2: but he's very secure and the important things are paid 1266 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 2: for in full, including his home. I've moved in with 1267 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,880 Speaker 2: him and things are good, but I'm constantly struggling, whereas 1268 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 2: he's comfortable financially. He used to pay for a lot 1269 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 2: when it came to dates and other little things, but 1270 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 2: as we became more serious, he made it very clear 1271 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 2: that he wants to share expenses. He's even asking me 1272 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 2: to pay rent. I understand splitting the utilities we both use, 1273 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 2: but he wants me to pay him for rent even 1274 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 2: though his house is paid off. Currently, I work a 1275 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 2: full time nine to five job that I don't like, 1276 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 2: and also waitress in the evenings and weekends to supplement 1277 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,640 Speaker 2: my income and pay off the data I accumulated by 1278 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 2: moving out of my home before I was financially able. 1279 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 2: I'm also taking some courses online so I can continue 1280 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 2: my education. I've noticed some resentment building up as he 1281 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 2: sees me constantly struggling and tired, but doesn't seem inclined 1282 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 2: to alleviate the burden. 1283 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 5: There's no bigger. 1284 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 2: Turn off than when a guy asks you to split 1285 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 2: dinner when you're just thinking of all the bills waiting 1286 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 2: for you. I'm plagued with guilt for even thinking this, 1287 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 2: when women are encouraged to be independent and successful and 1288 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,239 Speaker 2: not rely on a man. But I'd love nothing more 1289 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,320 Speaker 2: than to go back to school and find a career 1290 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,840 Speaker 2: I enjoy, but it's practically impossible for me to do 1291 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 2: that on my own if I still want to cover 1292 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 2: my bills and debt before adding on to it. I 1293 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 2: don't expect him to fund my lifestyle or put me 1294 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 2: through college, but help with our shared expenses and activities 1295 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 2: will go a long way, as I have to think 1296 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 2: about every dollar I spent. At the same time, I 1297 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 2: know I could find someone who's willing to do that 1298 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 2: for me, and I've had plenty of opportunities to pursue 1299 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 2: other relationships where I'm supported financially. Even with my waitressing job, 1300 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,439 Speaker 2: I constantly get offers by men who want to whisk 1301 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,919 Speaker 2: me off my feet and fund my lifestyle, but that's 1302 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 2: not for me. I have no desire to leave, as 1303 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 2: I'm very happy with the love he provides, but my 1304 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 2: life can be exhausting. He sees how happy I am 1305 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 2: when I'm working on my art and knows what I 1306 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,240 Speaker 2: want to do with my life. But he's so practical 1307 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 2: and approaches relationships as two separate people improving themselves on 1308 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: their own. Should I stick it out even though I'm struggling, Ashley. 1309 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 1: I would first of all say, who cares if men 1310 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: at restaurants are offering to whisk you away. You don't 1311 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 1: want that. That's not even part of the conversation. Because 1312 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,799 Speaker 1: of course you can find somebody else to pay your 1313 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: bills if that's what you're looking for. But if you're 1314 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,319 Speaker 1: looking for mutual respect within a relationship, I don't think 1315 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: it's crazy to ask for a little bit of help, 1316 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,360 Speaker 1: especially when he owns his house. I mean paying rent 1317 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,440 Speaker 1: for somebody who bought their house. That when you're in 1318 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,280 Speaker 1: a loving relationship, is a little strange. 1319 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 7: That's what you do. 1320 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 4: Like that doesn't sound kosher. And you're working multiple jobs. 1321 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not like she's not her death. She's hustling 1322 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 5: one thing. 1323 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 1: If you're sitting around lazy and you're like I don't 1324 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,800 Speaker 1: want to work, you're gonna pay for everything? 1325 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 4: No, you're not doing that. 1326 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he should be funding your lifestyle either, 1327 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 1: but he can definitely be helping if he's in a 1328 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,359 Speaker 1: more advantageous position than you are, which clearly he is. 1329 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 1: So yes, it's worth a conversation about support. And it's 1330 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: not a demand or a ultimatum. 1331 00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 4: Or anything like that. 1332 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I'm really having a hard time here, 1333 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 1: me paying you rent feels weird. I'm totally down to 1334 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: split utilities, but every time you want to split the bill, like, 1335 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 1: it makes me feel like we're in a business relationship 1336 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 1: and I'm going through this time and you want to 1337 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: get your degree and move towards that art passion that 1338 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 1: you have and go back to school at all of 1339 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 1: those things. And this is exactly the time where you 1340 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 1: need support from your partner and in pursuit of that. 1341 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: And it won't last forever, but you need it during 1342 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 1: this time. And that's a very reasonable thing to talk about. 1343 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also to improve not just your situation, 1344 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 2: but your situation together. You know, his help during this 1345 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 2: time will give you, guys a better life ostensibly in 1346 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 2: the future. 1347 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 7: Right. I think there's also I mean, be sensitive, you 1348 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 7: know what I mean. 1349 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 3: Like this guy sounds like, all right, well, everything's fifty 1350 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 3: to fifty, Like life doesn't really work like that. Sometimes 1351 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 3: sometimes ideally it should be fifty to fifty, but in 1352 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 3: a situation like this. My best friend's kind of in 1353 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 3: a similar situation where she makes significantly less than her 1354 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:03,840 Speaker 3: husband and they split bills fifty to fifty and recently, 1355 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 3: I mean, in the last six months. She kind of 1356 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 3: was like, I am struggling and I am in a committed, 1357 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 3: loving marriage, and this just doesn't feel fair. And she 1358 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 3: approached it with her husband and they worked it out 1359 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 3: where of course, because he makes more money and they 1360 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 3: live together, they share everything, he'll pay for more, you know, 1361 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 3: like it's like seventy thirty now, And that is totally 1362 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 3: because y'all are literally married. It's the same legally in 1363 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 3: front of the Lord and all his witnesses. I just 1364 00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 3: think that there's logic and then there's functional relationships. So 1365 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 3: in that situation, it feels like cut her some slack, dude, 1366 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 3: you know, if you really love her and you see 1367 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 3: how she's struggling, and you see how she wants to 1368 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 3: dedicate She doesn't want to fucking work seven jobs. She 1369 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 3: wants to dedicate time to her art whatever. Help her 1370 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 3: do that because you love her, and it's not you know, 1371 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 3: sacrificing her autonomy or her independence or her whatever. You 1372 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 3: can still be in visuals in a relationship, but I 1373 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 3: think that, yeah, just be fucking for real, be. 1374 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 7: So for real. 1375 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think working one job should be plenty in 1376 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 2: this situation. You know, if you have a conversation with 1377 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,439 Speaker 2: him about like I want to quit my waitressing job. 1378 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 2: I want to keep this job, and like you said, 1379 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 2: maybe not splitting things fifty to fifty as far as 1380 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 2: the bill goes. But there's also a way to do 1381 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 2: it where you're each paying the same percentage of the 1382 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 2: bill according to your income. You feel it the same amount. 1383 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 7: And please don't. 1384 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 1: Introduce the idea when you're having this conversation of other 1385 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 1: men or other opportunities. 1386 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 4: That's not important. Yes, it's not good to dangle that 1387 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 4: stuff in front of people. You know. 1388 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 1: I had a boyfriend who's like, do you know how 1389 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 1: many people are hitting me up on Instagram?
