1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sam, this is John. We're the ancient 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: two case Storytime podcast hosts, and we have some ancient 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: wisdom in the stories coming up. If you want to 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: hear the wisdom from two old heads that know more 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: than they know what to do with, you're gonna have 6 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: to wait for a quick message from our sponsors for 7 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: the next two minutes or so. 8 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: My sister wants to steal my mom's house. 9 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 3: Sounds like she should get her own house. 10 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: It's been a decade and this is the first time 11 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: I've ever written this down. I guess I'm still angry. 12 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: Reading a few stories here made me think about when 13 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: my dad passed away and everything that led up to 14 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 2: it and what came after. I'm trying to hide some 15 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: identifying details in case someone I know stumbles across this, 16 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: but if a specific person does, I want you to 17 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: know I haven't forgotten and I'll not forgive you. 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 3: Oh No. 19 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: By the way, this comes from ADHD is my power, 20 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: And if you want to submit your own stories, go 21 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: to the r slash. Okay, Storytime separate it. So I'm Riley, 22 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: I'm Sophia, and I'm what you call an accident child. 23 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: Us me too. 24 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: Hello, wait, wait, wait, that's that's the story, not me. 25 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Dad already had kids from his first marriage and didn't 26 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: want more. My mom was never supposed to get pregnant 27 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: because she'd had tumors removed from her ovaries that should 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: have made conception impossible. 29 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, it sounds like they were making room. 30 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: But as the eighties bled into the nineties, I came 31 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: along anyway. That's crazy to be told that you literally 32 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: can't have children, and then and then you just come 33 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: along anyway. 34 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: Well as a woman doctor. Yeah, if you. 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: Remove the well known woman doctor. 36 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: Thank you, Sophia. If you remove the ovaries, it makes 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: room for the babies to be made. One knows that. 38 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: If you remove the tumors from the ovaries. 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: Everyone knows that too. 40 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: If you didn't know that, you need ovaries to have babies. 41 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: And there we go. Thankfully, my parents never treated me 42 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: with the contempt that many unwanted children in dirt. My sister, however, 43 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: more than made up for their kind Oh no, what 44 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: does that mean she hates Opee more than. 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: Made up for their kindness. I think, what does that mean? 46 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: Opie's parents were really nice to Opee, but the sister 47 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: was terrible to Opie. I see, over a decade older 48 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: than me, she never liked me. She could put on 49 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 2: a decent facade when others were watching, but everyone knew 50 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: she didn't care for me. I can only remember her 51 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: being truly nice to me twice when my grandfather passed away, 52 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: and the one time she drove me to the airport. 53 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: As for my mom, she damn near hated her. My 54 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 2: sister had convinced herself that my mother broke up her parents' marriage, 55 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: even though our dad didn't meet my mother until years 56 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: after his divorce was finalized. Heck, my dad's ex wife 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: and my mom became good friends and still are to 58 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 2: this day. No one ever understood where my sister's twisted 59 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 2: narrative came from, but she clung to it like gospel. 60 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, yikes, that's so hard when everyone's chill with 61 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: the situation except for the one kid. He's like a 62 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: I'm never gonna forgive any of you. 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 3: It's so shiny and bright in nature, is outside, it's. 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: Fine, go touch grass. 65 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: A trainy and gloomy er. 66 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: In the early twenty tens, my dad got sick, the 67 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: kind of sick where everything hits you at once, like 68 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: your body just decides it's done playing fair. He ended 69 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: up in a coma for a month. The doctors didn't 70 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: expect him to make it, but somehow he pulled through. 71 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: Though he came back permanently disabled and was forced into retirement. 72 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: After months bouncing between hospitals and rehab facilities, he finally 73 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: came home. That's when I learned a hard truth. The 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: government stops caring about you the moment you can't make 75 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: the money and can only take money from them. So 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: I moved back in with my parents to help out. 77 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: For two years, I worked full time, attended school full time, 78 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: and served as my dad's caregiver. 79 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: Oh. 80 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: Mom and I tag team discarred during the week, and 81 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: every weekend I'd watch him for eight to ten hours 82 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: while she went to work. All their savings had evaporated 83 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: paying his medical bills. If their house hadn't been paid off, 84 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: they would have lost it. Most of my time with 85 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: dad involved helping him to the bathroom, assisting him in 86 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: the shower, and cleaning up when he didn't make it 87 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: in time, oh or when the medications made him violently ill. 88 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: The stress aged me rapidly. When I was in my 89 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: late twenties. Most people thought I was pushing forty. Oh. 90 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: My sister meanwhile, graced us with her presence maybe two 91 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: or three times a year, or contribution, clipping his toenails 92 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: because he liked how she did it. So she's his 93 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: nail tech twice a year. And that's it. 94 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: That's tough. 95 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: She never once dealt with the real caregiving, never witnessed 96 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: the worst moments, never saw him at his most vulnerable. 97 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: She knew the financial strain we were all under, yet 98 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: she still found ways to ask him for money. 99 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: That's crazy, Dad, you get a little bit from the government, 100 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: Can I take one? 101 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: And I have to take some of that from the government. 102 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: Please, you're not going to use it. You can't, you're disabled. 103 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: Thank you. Then he passed away. It happened quickly, the 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: way these things sometimes do. One Friday, he started acting strange, 105 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: so we rushed him to the hospital. They discovered he'd 106 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: had a minor heart attack, but given his poor health, 107 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: it triggered a cascade of organ failure. 108 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 109 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 2: The following Monday morning, I said goodbye to my father 110 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: as I watched him take his last breaths. 111 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: I didn't really expect this episode to give me at 112 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: the heart. Yeah, it's so early. 113 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: On, so sad, and then you have your sister just 114 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: being kind of terrible this whole time while you're well, 115 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: you're dealing with this really just terrible loss. 116 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: Okay, could be worse. She could be stealing that not 117 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: doing his nails. 118 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: That's true. She could be well, yeah, it's kind of 119 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: like payment for in the nails if you think about it. 120 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: This expensive neiltex out there, it's very expensive. 121 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 2: I'll give my sister credit because she was somewhat kind 122 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: during those final days. It wouldn't last. We held a 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: small memorial service at the house. My brothers had flown 124 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: in beforehand to help with arrangements. Dad didn't have a will, 125 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: but he told us what he wanted each of us 126 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: to have. It wasn't much since Mom was still alive, 127 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: but we divided his possessions peacefully among ourselves, setting aside 128 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: items we knew our sister would want. When she arrived, 129 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: she immediately began walking through the house like she was shopping, 130 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: calling DIBs on everything in sight. She became furious when 131 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: she wanted something already promised to someone else. His pupuke collection, 132 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: for example, was supposed to be split between one of 133 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: my brothers and me, since we both served in the 134 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: military and were the only one with any interest in firearms. 135 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: But she was livid that she wasn't getting one. You 136 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: don't She's like, I never cared about this before, but 137 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: I want one now. 138 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: Guys, you can sell those two. I guess that might 139 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: be why she wants that, just wants money. 140 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: She even tried claiming items that belonged to my mother, 141 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: which we quickly shut down. 142 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 3: Carl, what you can't have the whole. 143 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: You can't have everything. The memorial service itself went smoothly 144 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: until that day. I'd been drinking for over a day 145 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: at that point, trying to says two years of stress, 146 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: compounded by the fact that I'd been laid off from 147 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: my job the same day my dad passed away. At 148 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: one point, we decided to take a shot in Dad's memory, 149 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: and my sister wanted to join us. We told her 150 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: we were pouring them now, and she promptly disappeared. We 151 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: waited several minutes, even going outside to look for her, 152 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: but couldn't find her anywhere, so the ten plus family 153 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: members present took the shot without her. She suddenly reappeared 154 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: and threw an absolute fit that we hadn't come to 155 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: get her. She stormed out and drove home that night. 156 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: I feel like she was waiting in the shadows, just. 157 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: She was in the closet. 158 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: If they try and have the shot, I'm gonna I'm 159 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: gonna come out and get so mad at them. 160 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: It's a good party trick. Yeah, all take a shot, disappear, 161 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: and then right when they take the shot, Ah, I 162 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: wanted to take it with you. Guys, man, well, what 163 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: the he. 164 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: And then you get all mad at them and then 165 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: they feel bad. 166 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: Guys, use that for the next time we have at 167 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: a party and you want to leave early. 168 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: A couple of months later, Mom needed all the children's 169 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: signatures to take full possession Dad's truck. My brothers and 170 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: I signed without hesitation, but my sister made a huge 171 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: fuss because she believed the truck should have gone to 172 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: her instead of Mom. 173 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: Oh my god. 174 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: I eventually moved across the country to live with my 175 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: brother and start fresh. Mom decided to follow and put 176 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: the house on the market. The house had been my 177 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: maternal grandparents' home, which Mom inherited when they passed. Dad 178 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: was never on the deed as far as the state 179 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: was concerned. The house belonged solely to my mother. That 180 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: didn't stop my sister from making it a federal case. 181 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: Federal What I think she's joking? Oh, we know. 182 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: My sister wanted to pursue legal action to force Mom 183 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: into selling her the house for well below market value. 184 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: I thought she was joking. Huh. My sister's own mother 185 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: put a stop to that nonsense, telling her daughter that 186 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: if anyone deserved the house after Mom, it was me. 187 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: My sister scoffed at the idea that my grandparents' house 188 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: would be my inheritance instead of hers, despite having no 189 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: blood relation to my mother's family whatsoever. 190 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 3: How can you raise eight this much greed, Yeah, to 191 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: the point that you are dissolving your support system and family. 192 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: Well, it's just kind of crazy to me because this 193 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: isn't her mom, Like the house fully belongs to Opee's mom. 194 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: Dad lived in it. 195 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, she's like, well, my dad lived here, so 196 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: I can take whatever I want. But it's like it 197 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: goes to Ope's mom. Opie's half sister, who has no 198 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: relation to Opie's mom, is trying to take Opie's mom's 199 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: house crazy. So Mom sold the house and moved to 200 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: my area. A few months later. Mom was devastated. It 201 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: was close to the one year anniversary of my dad's passing, 202 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: and my sister had written her a vicious letter. In it, 203 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: she berated Mom for not giving her the house, not 204 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: selling it to her, but giving it to her for free. 205 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: So she's like, I'm not mad that you didn't try 206 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: to sell it to me, I'm mad that you didn't 207 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: give it to me just for free. What not giving 208 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: it to you for free? She argued that since it 209 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 2: was her father's home, Mom never had the right to 210 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: sell it to anyone else and should have handed it 211 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: over to my sister at no cost. 212 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: She's over taking my greed man. Yeah, there's nothing else. 213 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: I mean, like, truly, she was taking money from people 214 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: that were getting payments from the government, and presumably Opie's 215 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: mom still doesn't have that much money and needs the 216 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: money from selling the house. And yet this woman is 217 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: still like, I'm gonna take whatever I can get from you. 218 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 3: And the worst thing about all of this is even 219 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: if you gave it to her for free, Yeah, she's 220 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: gonna ask for repairs to be done. Oh yeah, is 221 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: this to be done. You owe it to her. 222 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: Well, she'd never find things. Yeah, think about that for 223 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: a moment. This house had belonged to my maternal grandparents, 224 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: people completely unrelated to her. Again, Yeah, came passed down 225 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 2: on Opie's mom's side. Yet she still believed with absolute 226 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: certainty that when Mom decided to sell, the house should 227 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: have been given to her for nothing. That was the 228 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: day I decided to cut my sister off for good. 229 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: It's been almost ten years now and I haven't spoken 230 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 2: to her once, neither of my brothers, except when one 231 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: was diagnosed with cancer and she suddenly tried reaching out 232 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: to him. In my opinion, she was trying to weasel 233 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: her way into his good graces in case he passed 234 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: and left her something. He's been in remission for years now. 235 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: In that time, I've gotten married, had two beautiful daughters, 236 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: and never heard from my sister once during any of 237 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: these major life events. My mom lives with us now. 238 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: She's in her seventies but looks fifty, and she gets 239 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: to see her granddaughters every day. She has many friends 240 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: and an active social life. I haven't seen her this 241 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: happy in years. 242 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: Wow. 243 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: If I passed before though, she'll be glad to know 244 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: I'm leaving her something in my will. It's a beautiful 245 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: epoxy display featuring my two middle fingers and a butt 246 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: made especially for her. 247 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 3: I love it. 248 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: Oh he is petty and angry ten years later, and 249 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: I get it. But there is a little bit left 250 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: to the story. Do you have any final thoughts? 251 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 3: So actually smart move to leave someone? Yeah, something a 252 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 3: little bit of something I saw a while ago with 253 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: his grandmother caught off her son or something, gave all 254 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: the inheritans, opie, but gave her son a dollar. 255 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they can't contest it because it's like, no, 256 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: you got something. 257 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like, oh I didn't get anything. She 258 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 3: must have like forgotten about me, didn't She wasn't thinking right. No, 259 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: that was a very intended amount of money just for you. Yeah, 260 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: it was very intentional. 261 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely, But I would still be angry about this, do ope. 262 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: Your sister sucks. Yeah, and she's greedy and she doesn't 263 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: really care about her support system, and it seems like 264 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: it's just her, Like it's not even her mom causing trouble, 265 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: it's just her. 266 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: A real quick okay story my pastor told me where 267 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: I asked him something like if like substances could like, 268 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: you know, take over someone. He's like, well, I won't 269 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: saw what was it guilt or shame or oh it's 270 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: actually kind of a gross story. Actually I don't have 271 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: a story that's like appropriate for the show because I 272 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 3: just remembered how bad it was. But moral of it, Yeah, 273 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: you could be overtaken by anything if you let it 274 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: consume you, and you lose the. 275 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: People that love you or you know that could be 276 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: your support system, and then you're alone and you've maybe 277 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: have money most times not because you're the more you 278 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: try and get it, the easier it, you know, goes away. 279 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: And it doesn't sound like she was fighting for millions. 280 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 3: It's probably a couple thousand. 281 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: Dollars for like, yeah, nothing pennys. But folks, there's a 282 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: little bit left to the story, so we're gonna read it. 283 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: Some people think I should forgive and move on, that 284 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: family is family, that life is too short for grudges, 285 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: but some betrayals cut too deep, especially when they happened 286 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: during your darkest moments. I spent two years sacrificing my 287 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: twenties to care for our father while she clipped his toenails. 288 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: Twice a year and then tried to profit from his passing. 289 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 2: She showed me exactly who she was when it mattered most. 290 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: I believe her. So yeah, it's been a decade and 291 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 2: I'm still angry, and I'm okay with that, and we're 292 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: okay with that too. But folks, that's the end of 293 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: that story, and we've got another one coming right up. 294 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: My wife was furious that I helped my sister after 295 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: she rejected us. 296 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: Sometimes she gotta be a better person. 297 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 3: My wife, thirty two female, and I thirty two male, 298 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 3: have a six month old baby. Oh, and he is 299 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: the lie of our lives. Before some was born. However, 300 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: my sister twenty four female, made it known that she 301 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: was not a baby person. I've known this literally our 302 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: whole lives, and my wife even knew this. But I'm 303 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: starting to wonder if she didn't take it quite seriously. 304 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: By the way, this comes from Throwaway Family Upset eleven 305 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 3: and if you want to smit your own stories, go 306 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: to the r So I show okay, storytime, So I 307 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: bred it. My sister came to her baby shower, where 308 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: she again made it known that while she was happy 309 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 3: for us, she wouldn't have much to do with the 310 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: kid until at least they were older. This is the 311 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 3: dad dog theory. 312 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, Yeah, she's got a bond with this kid. 313 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: I see what she's saying, though, because I feel like 314 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: a lot of times, when you have a kid, or 315 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: you know someone as a kid in the family, everyone 316 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: around them is expected to babysit. So she's probably just 317 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: saying like, I'm not gonna baby sit your child. You know, 318 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,239 Speaker 2: when it's older and it is fun. 319 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: Sure, I'll take it out for some dreams. 320 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 321 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: You could just say I don't want to babysit your kid. 322 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: I don't I don't want a baby, I don't want 323 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: to see your kid. 324 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 3: I remember my wife making a comment long lines of oh, 325 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: he's gonna love his auntie or you'll love him when 326 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 3: he gets here, or something like that. My sister just 327 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: laughed it off, but I saw the irritation in her eyes. 328 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: I talked to my wife that night and told her 329 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 3: that my sister was serious. I know her, and she 330 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: really doesn't like babies or small children's. I feel like 331 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: answer to her, so we would have tried to force 332 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: her into an interaction much with her little one until 333 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 3: she's ready. We had a bit of a back and forth, 334 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: but the conversation basically ended with my wife saying, okay, 335 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 3: of course we won't force her. Fast forward a few months, 336 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: our baby boy is here. My sister showed up at 337 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 3: the hospital and brought us a balloon to show her support, 338 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: but she didn't really interact much with or look at 339 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: our newborn, and she quickly left. My wife was too 340 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 3: distracted with doting on and loving our son to really notice. 341 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: Fast forward a few months when our son was five 342 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: months old and I planned to have a nice dinner 343 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 3: date for the two of us at a very exclusive restaurant, 344 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: a place she's always wanted to go that was always 345 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: booked out. I surprised her with a reservation that I 346 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: had booked a few months in advance, around her birthday. 347 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: I thought it would be good for the both of 348 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: us to have a night out, take a quick breather 349 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 3: from parenthood, and reconnect as a couple. She was very 350 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 3: excited for it, and so was I. A few hours 351 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: before a reservation, however, our babysitter canceled. 352 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: Dam that sucks. That's rough, all. 353 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: Right, babysitter, You either find someone or you're paying for 354 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 3: my dinner. 355 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I honestly, I feel like day of cancelation. You've 356 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: gotta find someone. Why are you canceling as a baby, 357 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: as a previous babysitter, Why are you canceling day of. 358 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: He's twelve year olds acting like they run the world. 359 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 360 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: My wife frantically suggested we call my sister, since our 361 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: parents parents are both aged and not able to move 362 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: around much. I knew my sister was going to say no, 363 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: but my wife was very insistent. I tried calling a 364 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 3: few friends first, but everyone was busy or couldn't since 365 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 3: it was very last minute. Finally, after my wife insisted 366 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 3: some more, I called my sister. I told her what 367 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: was going on, and of course I was right about 368 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 3: her answer. She said she was sorry, but she didn't 369 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: want to. I told my wife this. My wife asked 370 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 3: me if I could put her on speakerphone. I was hesitant. 371 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: After I put it on speaker, my wife shouted loudly 372 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: onto the phone, why won't you come watch your nephew? 373 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: Yikes?

But in 379 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 2: an alternate world where he doesn't want to take care 380 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: of my kids, I feel like it would be so 381 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 2: like I would be just so upset at my partner 382 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: if they like shouted at him after he told us 383 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: that he didn't, you know, after she said to them, 384 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 2: I don't want it, like I don't want to be 385 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: a part of it. I'll be part of it later. 386 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: I don't do kids, blah blah blah blah. And then 387 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: and then she's like, put her on the phone, put 388 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: on the put her on speaker. 389 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: She's really wanting some nice dinner time with you. 390 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: Though, Like personally, personally it was me, I I would 391 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: be like, oh, you guys need help.

That's my own personal thing. 393 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 2: I would help to take care of the kids. However, 394 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: she's made it very clear that she doesn't want any involvement, 395 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: So like, you gotta respect those wishes. 396 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 3: You know what I would do?

What else are you sposed to do? 404 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: Nah was silent for a moment. She said she wasn't 405 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: comfortable or I've said why not, he's your nephew. 406 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, girl. 407 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 3: At this point I took her off the speakerphone and 408 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: till my sister I'd call her back. My wife was 409 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 3: hysterical and in tears. We didn't end up making the reservation. 410 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: Clearly not. 411 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: I tried to confront her by telling her that we 412 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 3: could still do something that weekend for her birthday, and 413 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 3: that I just rescheduled the reservation for whenever they were 414 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: next available. But she wasn't in a good mood for 415 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 3: a couple of days after this occurred, and I knew 416 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 3: at that point that she really disliked my sister. Yesterday 417 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: was a day that everything went south. I got a 418 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: call from my sister saying that she needed to come 419 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: here to take her to the hospital. She was having emergency. 420 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: She lives less than ten minutes away. This was at 421 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: about eleven pm, baby and wife are asleep. I texted 422 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 3: my wife where I was going before I left, just 423 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 3: in case she woke up, and then I left, which 424 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: is important because during the stage sleep is very important 425 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: for the wife, so you don't want to wake her up. Yeah, 426 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 3: everything went well. My sister is okay, but we didn't 427 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 3: get out of hospital around six am. When I got 428 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 3: home this morning, my wife, I first, didn't say a 429 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: thing to me. I asked her if she got my 430 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 3: messages throughout the night and if she was all right. 431 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: She didn't speak. I went to my office to work, Yes, 432 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: I work on Sundays, and about ten minutes later, she 433 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: barged into the room and started yelling. She told me 434 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: that it's insane that I left her in the middle 435 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: of the night to go help someone that doesn't want 436 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: to help us. She said that if it was that 437 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: big of an emergency, my sister should have called an 438 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 3: ambulance and that I should have woken her up to 439 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 3: tell her first. 440 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: Okay, well, okay, I The only thing that I kind 441 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: of agree with is the wake her up, because if 442 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: this is an emergency, even though she needs her sleep. 443 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: In terms of baby, I would have been like, hey, 444 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: I just found out this emergency thing. I need to go. 445 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: I'll be back, like, I'll be back when I can. 446 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: I'll keep you updated. 447 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: I probably would have woken her up. 448 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: I don't know. If I knew my wife hasn't slept 449 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 3: solid for a minute, I probably would have let her 450 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: set some text and explained in the text, yeah, hey, 451 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: which I didn't wake you up because you really need 452 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: some sleep and I love you, but my sister. 453 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 2: That's the only point I would give to the wife. Though. 454 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: On the other hand, I'm sorry you guys. Going to 455 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: a dinner is not an emergency. 456 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 3: A booked out dinner, just wanted to go, and it's 457 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: birthday dinner. 458 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, really really sucks that you don't have anyone who 459 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: could like come. It's like that terrible I sat watch 460 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: your baby. So sad it's not an emergency, you know. 461 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 2: I would hope that if you were having an emergency 462 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: and you needed someone to watch this kid, your sister 463 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 2: would do it, because if she didn't, if you had 464 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: an actual emergency and your sister said, no, I cannot 465 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: watch your child because I'm not a kid person, she's. 466 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: The a Yeah, point blank, point blank. 467 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: You didn't have an emergency. Your opie's sister was having 468 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: an emergency, and therefore op he needed to go help 469 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: them or help his sister. 470 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: We went back and forth for a bit, but in 471 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: the end she told me that if I don't cut 472 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 3: my sister off, she doesn't know what will happen to 473 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 3: our relationship, Oh my goodness, and that I need to 474 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 3: prioritize our family. 475 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: I really, I don't know. 476 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 3: I don't like this. Probably the reason why the sister 477 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: was so adamant about not watching the babies because she 478 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 3: knew that you would make her babiesit your kid. 479 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: No, I really feel like I would to have a 480 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: conversation with my wife and say like, hey, why are 481 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 2: you so adamant that specifically my sister needs to be 482 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 2: the one? You know when she told us and you 483 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 2: said that you agreed, So why why now are you 484 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 2: coming and say like did you never actually agree and 485 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: you were just trying to. 486 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: Placate me, which is weird? Why all of a sudden 487 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 3: do we need to do this? 488 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, like, I'm not don't give me this weird ultimatum 489 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: just because you lied. 490 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 3: I know she is still upset about what happened last month, 491 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 3: but to completely cut off my sister. I don't think 492 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 3: that that's at all an appropriate thing to do. All 493 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: my sister did was assert her boundaries. I won't lie. 494 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: I was hurt and a bit frustrated when we lost 495 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: our reservation, but I got over it because I've known 496 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: that my sister wouldn't want much to do with the 497 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 3: baby for a while. I love my wife and my 498 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: family more than anything, but my sister is also one 499 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 3: of my loved family members. She's shown up in a 500 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 3: way to the baby shower and the birth, other than 501 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 3: when caring for the baby. My wife and I haven't 502 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 3: spoken much today, but I don't want things to continue 503 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: like this. I don't know how to approach the subject. 504 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: She's still dealing with postpartum hormones. 505 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, I can definitely see that. 506 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 3: So I understand she may be feeling on edge and 507 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 3: protective of the baby. But I feel like we should 508 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: address this sooner rather than later. I just want to 509 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: in a delicate, passionate way towards both of them. We 510 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 3: have some comments. 511 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that I think your wife is definitely 512 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: going through some sort of like crimonal thing or like PbD, 513 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 2: and I don't know, like this is tough for her. 514 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 2: She's going through this big change of being coming among Yeah, 515 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: and I think that, like maybe, and I don't want to. 516 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 2: You know, I've never obviously been a parent, but I 517 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: think when you have your kid, you're like, this is 518 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 2: the most important person in the world. Oh yeah, And 519 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 2: then someone else doesn't think that, and you're like, what, 520 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: you don't think my child's the most important thing in 521 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: the world. 522 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a little bit of a god complex 523 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 3: going on. It is hard. If my brother said he 524 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: wouldn't watch my kid when I need them in a 525 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 3: clutch moment, that would be hard. 526 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 527 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 3: And now I'm thinking if my sister in law said 528 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: that in a way, I'd probably be like, I don't 529 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 3: know how I feel about that. 530 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: I definitely would. The problem is that. 531 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't cut them off. I would not cut 532 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: them off. 533 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: The problem is that she told everyone to advance what 534 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 2: she wanted her role to be. And op knows this 535 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 2: about her and OPI's super understanding, but his wife just 536 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: seemed to think that she could convince her otherwise, and 537 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: that that's the issue. It's like she came into this 538 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 2: whole thing with the expectation that she could change Op's sister. 539 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 3: Comment one, your wife is an a hole. Your sister 540 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: said she's had for you guys, but she's not comfortable 541 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: interacting or babysitting. Your wife is not entitled to your 542 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 3: sister's time and she shouldn't be stopping all over her boundaries. 543 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: Tell your wife that the way she treated your sister 544 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 3: was entitled and wrong. You will not be cutting off 545 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 3: your sister and your wife needs to grow up. Additionally, 546 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 3: your sister wasn't the only person that said no to 547 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 3: this last minute request. Is your wife going to cut 548 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: out the multiple friends who declined that night? There's an 549 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 3: unfair double standard happening here. Otherwise, on top of crossing 550 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 3: your sister well established boundaries, comment to there was a 551 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 3: difference of priority between making a dinner reservation exactly needed 552 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 3: to go to the hospital asap. One is about pleasure 553 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 3: and the other is about health. It sounds like your 554 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 3: wife never actually respected your sister's feelings about kids and 555 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: dismiss them because she obviously knew better, And now she's 556 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 3: trying to manipulate you to cut her off because the 557 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: sister isn't giving in to her demands. You are kind 558 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: of a fault for letting it go oh that far 559 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: and calling your sister and putting her on speaker. She 560 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 3: had been very clear with you, but you still chose 561 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 3: to put her in this situation because you didn't feel 562 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: like standing up to your wife. It's time she understands 563 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: that just because she thinks something should take priority doesn't 564 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 3: mean others will see it that way, that your sister 565 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 3: has always been clear about it, and that she has 566 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 3: done nothing out of character, that you don't see what 567 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 3: she's done as bad. You can ask for a favor 568 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: and the person you ask has a right to say 569 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 3: no for whatever reason. Otherwise you were not asking, you 570 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 3: were commanding, and none of you have that right to 571 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: order your sister and treat her time as your own, 572 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 3: even though it's what your wife wants you to do. 573 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 3: She is not respecting your sister and looking very entitled. 574 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: Hope Hee response this comment gave me some perspective. I 575 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 3: kept thinking that perhaps my wife was having a hard 576 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: time understanding. She's very family oriented and always wanted children, 577 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 3: considers it her purpose in life, so maybe she couldn't 578 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: understand sister's point of view. At first, I explained it 579 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: many times to her, and there were some instances where 580 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: she seemed to understand, but now looking back at it, 581 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 3: she didn't really get it. I think she thought once 582 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: the baby got here, everything would change and I'd be surprised, 583 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: so I shall upset that it didn't. I admit putting 584 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 3: sister in that situation was a thoughtless act. Wife was 585 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: just really pestering me. Anne was getting angry and angrier, 586 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: and I felt very overwhelmed. So I gave in. Sister's 587 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 3: not a bad person, she's just not a kid person. 588 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 3: And that's the end of that story. 589 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, you knew going in. And I 590 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 2: think Ope is juggling this really hard, or is standing 591 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 2: between these two very difficult situation of knowing his sister 592 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: and knowing his wife and trying to manage both of 593 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: those personalities, which is a difficult position to be in. 594 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 2: But I think, ohp, he's doing his best. 595 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 3: He's doing his best. It's not a fair place to be. 596 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: He knows what he has to say to his wife. 597 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 3: I think he's procrastinating. 598 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely, He's like, I really don't want to do that. 599 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: Maybe procrastinate for a week. 600 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: No, she said, she's like not even talking to him. 601 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: Maybe too then, dang, no, I think to talk to 602 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: your wife as soon as possible get this figured out. 603 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: Your sister's not going away, your wife's not going away, 604 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 2: and your kid's certainly not going away. So let's let's 605 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: work on this. 606 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: If your wife is very family oriented, she probably needs 607 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 3: to see an act from the sister in a way. Yeah, 608 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 3: I guess it's reminded of that. 609 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: I think it's it's how is your sister showing up 610 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 2: for you guys in other ways? Because I think that 611 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: it is one thing to say I'm not gonna be 612 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 2: there for your kid in like a nanny way, but 613 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: if she's not showing up for you guys or helping 614 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: you out in any ways because you don't have to. 615 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 2: You don't have to be there for the kid in 616 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: the sense of like holding the kid, taking care of 617 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: the kid, et cetera. You can say like, hey, I 618 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: know you guys are going through a really you know, 619 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: big change right now. You know I made you dinner 620 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: one night, Like how are you showing up in other 621 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 2: ways if you can't show up in this way? Because 622 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: I think it's valid to say I can't show up 623 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: in this way. Yeah, but I don't know. I think 624 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm the kind of an active service person. So I'm like, 625 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: how else are you helping these people who are new parents? 626 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the end of that story. And we 627 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: got another sister combo coming up for you. 628 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: Owe Sam here og host.

The apartment I was renting with my roommate, God, 634 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: it's rent jacked up by the landlord and neither of 635 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 2: us could afford to stay. He moved back in with 636 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: his parents, but my parents live too far away and 637 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: the rent in this city is incredibly expensive. Spend most 638 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: of my time studying and work only part time, but 639 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: even then I've been getting far fewer hours because my 640 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: boss says he doesn't need me around that much. By 641 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 2: the way, this comes from maybe overstep to and if 642 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 2: you want to submit your own stories, go to the 643 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: r slash Okay storytime separate it.

I thought 648 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: this was incredibly kind of her, and I promised I 649 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: wouldn't stay a day longer than I had to. Oh, 650 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: this is great, Everything's fine. Dang. She basically told me 651 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 2: that it's my home as much as it is hers, 652 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: even though she pays for everything. I've tried my best 653 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: to insist she take rent for me to make it fair, 654 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: but she refused, saying I should save up whatever money 655 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: I earn for myself. So I've been doing all the 656 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: chores like cleaning, shopping, and cooking. It's great living with her. 657 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: We're having so much fun, and I genuinely feel like 658 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: she enjoys me being here. That sibling living together is great. Woo. 659 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 3: I had a good run for about a month or two. Yeah, 660 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 3: and then it ended with me doing all the dishes. 661 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: Rough man, that sucks. Yeah. Sam doesn't cook enough to 662 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: have that. 663 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 3: Many dishes to remember the nick cook? 664 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: Oh where are these dishes coming from? 665 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 3: I wasn't the best roommate either, But good for you. 666 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: I'm glad you're having a good experience. 667 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Sam's not even here right now. 668 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 3: He'll never be here, never here. 669 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: Here's where I think I overstepped my boundaries. My sister 670 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 2: is by and she's had this lovely woman, twenty six 671 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 2: female as her partner for as long as I can remember, 672 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: maybe since graduating from high school. She's a really lovely person, 673 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: and I think my sister is really lucky to have her. Unfortunately, 674 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,239 Speaker 2: marriage equality isn't legal yet in our country, but if 675 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: it ever is, I'm sure they would definitely get married. 676 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: My sister's girlfriend I've known for quite a while. She's 677 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 2: really into video games and likes a lot of the 678 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 2: same movies and anime as me, so we've been good 679 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: friends for some time. I mean, you've known her since 680 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 2: your sister was an high school so yeah, makes sense. 681 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 2: We often game together or go to the movies together. 682 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: I know it's probably a bit weird going to the 683 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: movies just me and my sister's girlfriend. No, I don't 684 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 2: think that's. 685 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 3: Weird unless you're like I'm always hanging around my sister's 686 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 3: friends and I don't have any friends of mine own, 687 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 3: then I can see that being weird. 688 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 2: But my sister really doesn't mind at all. And usually 689 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 2: they aren't the sort of movies that would interest her. Anyway, 690 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 2: she comes over to my sister's apartment quite a bit, 691 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 2: and I noticed something they never did when they were 692 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: together at our parents' house. They're really open with displays 693 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: of affection, and it's quite frequent. Like sometimes she'd be 694 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: over in the morning when I'm having breakfast and she 695 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,719 Speaker 2: and my sister would start making out in the kitchen, 696 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 2: touching each other and all that stuff. Okay, okay, that's 697 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: a little bit. That's a little too far. 698 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 3: Now. 699 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: I'm the farthest thing from a closet god you could 700 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 2: think of, and most straight guys would probably be turned 701 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: on by that site. Okay, it's your sister, it's your sister, 702 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: but this is my sister. So I feel incredibly put 703 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: off and uncomfortable when this happens. Yeah, okay, I don't 704 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: even think you needed to include that line. 705 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 3: Well, he's being real. 706 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: Guys, it's your sister, it's your sister. 707 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 3: Being real. Here he's saying that there's public affair display 708 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 3: of two women. One is my sister. I don't know 709 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 3: how to feel about it. What am I supposed to do? 710 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 3: That's what he's basically. 711 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: He says he feels about it. 712 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 3: He feels he does feel uncomfortable by it because he 713 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 3: knows what is making it feel inside. This is between 714 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 3: the lines, Sophie said. Most between the lines. 715 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 2: He said, most trade guys would probably be turned on 716 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 2: by this. But I feel incredibly put off and uncomfortable. 717 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 3: He's just he's adding that in there. Riley, I'm I, okay, 718 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 3: just denying the truth. Then ew I think it's gross too. 719 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 3: I'm just reading doing lives. This guy doesn't know how 720 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 3: to deal with it. 721 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 2: Okay, that's his sister. And also I feel like, personally, 722 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 2: if anyone was doing this, I would get uncomfortable. 723 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's like two goldfish kissing any anything, anything, 724 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 3: two turtles doing it, keep it in doing it. 725 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 2: Okay, everyone's seen that video. But anyway, I often tried 726 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 2: to leave the room when they get all lovey dovey together. 727 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 2: But when I'm having breakfast at the table, usually all 728 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: I can do is stare down at the table and 729 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 2: pretend I'm not there, and it could go on for minutes. 730 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 3: Sag. The cereal is so good, dude, Ope, you're missing 731 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 3: it man, anytime they do No, you're not even letting 732 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 3: me finish. 733 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: You said, you're missing it, missing. 734 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 3: Out on a great opportunity to play any song you 735 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 3: want to during that moment, So they'll stop. She will 736 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 3: be coming, okay, anything to turn off the move. 737 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 2: Oh, I just be like, ew, gross, there you go. Yeah, 738 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 2: you can just. 739 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 3: In you. You don't have to sit there and let 740 00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 3: it happen. Dude. 741 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 2: My brother was making out with his girlfriend in front 742 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: of me. I'd be like, stop, you. 743 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 3: Get a room, man, get a room. 744 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: That's that's what I would do. So here's where I 745 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 2: think I overstepped my bounds. I approached my sister in 746 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 2: a really polite manner, requested that she'd be more aware 747 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 2: of my presence. I told her I have nothing against them, 748 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 2: but she's my sister, so naturally i'd feel uncomfortable seeing 749 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 2: her in that situation. Constantly. I asked if she could 750 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 2: just be aware of my presence and maybe tone it 751 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 2: down when I'm in the same room. She instantly agreed 752 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 2: and thought she should have thought of that earlier. Honestly, 753 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 2: I feel like maybe girlfriend is the is the instigator 754 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 2: of this, you know, like of all the the not 755 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 2: in like a oh, her brothers. I think it's like 756 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: a I think she's the more touchy one, and that's 757 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: probably why I op's sister didn't really think of it, 758 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 2: because she's kind of like, oh yeah or yeah, sure, 759 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 2: wis I offered to get out of the apartment way 760 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 2: more often than I do. I already often take time 761 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 2: out to go to the library at university and study 762 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 2: during the night, or just go watch a movie on 763 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 2: my own during the weekend, so that my sister and 764 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: her girlfriend can have the entire apartment to themselves. So 765 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 2: kind of you. I do take precautions to make sure 766 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 2: I'm not constantly in the way of their relationship, but 767 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: I also acknowledge that because of the situation, there are 768 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: some times where I'm gonna be unable to help being around. 769 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 2: And your sister should recognize that she has offered you 770 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 2: a place to stay kind of indefinitely, and you're doing 771 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: chores or open out and stuff. She was to take 772 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 2: that back, Yeah, she can't, just kind of she can 773 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 2: start a conversation with you anyway. After I had that 774 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 2: conversation with my sister, the next morning, her girlfriend was 775 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 2: over as usual. Her girlfriend leaned into kiss her, but 776 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: my sister backed away and told her, I think we 777 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 2: shouldn't do that stuff when my brother's around. It makes 778 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 2: him feel weird. No, no, no, no. 779 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 3: No, man, No, I was not executed so poorly at all. 780 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 2: This is what you do. You take your girlfriend aside, 781 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 2: not when she about to kiss you take her, take 782 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: her side, call her up, text her. I don't care 783 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 2: you say. Hey, I talked to my brother. He was 784 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 2: feeling a little bit uncomfortable, like when we do a 785 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 2: lot of PDA, if we could just tone it down 786 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 2: or you know, like give him a little bit of 787 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 2: just be a little respectful of his presence. Yeah, that's 788 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 2: the conversation we have. We don't go, oh, sorry, my 789 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 2: brother thinks it's weird. That sounds like he's homophobic. 790 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, or also like, oh he gets turned off by 791 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 3: his sister kissing other girls. 792 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: No, it's not at all. 793 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 3: No. 794 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 2: I instantly apologized and left the kitchen. No, oh, he's 795 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 2: the bad guy. But my sister still insisted that it 796 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 2: was weird doing it when I was nearby. 797 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 3: Dude, not nearby. 798 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 2: Her girlfriend seemed pretty pissed off by the whole thing, 799 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 2: but silently accepted it. I could tell she blamed me 800 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: and felt I was in the way of the relationship. 801 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 2: I regretted having brought it up with my sister since 802 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm a guest in her home. The thing is that 803 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 2: you're not really a guest, like you live there. You're 804 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 2: her roommate. She is very kindly allowing you to live there. 805 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 2: But like, I feel like there is a difference between 806 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 2: a person who's visiting for the day, you know, like 807 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 2: that type of guest, and a roommate who you are 808 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 2: very kindly allowing to live there. And it is a 809 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 2: different situation than like a roommate who's paying. Of course, 810 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 2: I feel like. 811 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 3: It's a situation of til you get back on your feet, 812 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 3: not roommate. I don't think that they're a roommate necessarily. 813 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: I think I think he's a roommate. I think it's 814 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 2: like I think it is different than a roommate pays, 815 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 2: Like he's not on that level. But I think that 816 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 2: like when you're there for kind of an indefinite amount 817 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 2: of time and you've offered to pay, and you're doing 818 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 2: all that chores and stuff, I feel like it is 819 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 2: different than just a guest. 820 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, And then at that point, if I was ope, 821 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 3: I thought would go to you know, my sister's girlfriend. 822 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: I did not mean it that way, just like I 823 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 2: love you guys, but it's just like I felt a 824 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 2: little comfortable with the PDA. 825 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 826 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 2: After a few days, her partner seemed to have let 827 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,240 Speaker 2: it go, and I was trying to make myself scarce 828 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: as much as possible to give them space and privacy. 829 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 2: Her partner was being nice to me again and the 830 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 2: coldness seemed to have disappeared. We were sitting in the 831 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 2: apartment playing video games in the afternoon when my sister 832 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 2: came home from work around the usual time, and like 833 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 2: she always does, she gave me a hug and a kiss, 834 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 2: like she does every day. Her girlfriend instantly fumed and 835 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 2: started lashing out at her, telling her it was unfair 836 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 2: she was still kissing and hugging me in front of her, 837 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: but she wouldn't do anything with her if I was 838 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 2: in the same apartment. I tried to stay silent, but 839 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 2: it escalated into a pretty big argument. At first, her 840 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 2: girlfriend started lashing out at my sister, but then she 841 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 2: directly turned to me and started blaming it on me, 842 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 2: saying I was interfering in their personal life and I 843 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 2: had no place to When her girlfriend lashed out at me, 844 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 2: my sister got really angry with her girlfriend and started 845 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 2: shouting back and defending me, saying it was not my idea, 846 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 2: but hers and I had done nothing wrong and she 847 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 2: shouldn't dare say a word against me. I ever seen 848 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 2: my sister angry like that before. She's normally such a calm, 849 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 2: lovely person. And not only was she really angry, but 850 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 2: angry at the woman she loved. And again again, the 851 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: sister's not quite getting it because she's having this very loud, 852 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 2: aggressive argument in front of her brother, which is on 853 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 2: a difference, you know, on the opposite spectrum, but is 854 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 2: the same thing as having a bunch of PDA in 855 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 2: front of your brother. 856 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 3: The intention from the sister seems good, but it's just 857 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 3: the way she goes about. 858 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 2: It is It's like, you guys, keep involving your brother 859 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 2: in the very intimate parts of your relationship, like aggressive 860 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 2: arguments and like PDA, and it's like all he's asking 861 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 2: is just wait a time out of the room. 862 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 3: Please let me finish my cereal start nacking out. 863 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 2: I just stayed silent, and after her girlfriend had left, 864 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 2: I apologize to my sister. She insisted I had nothing 865 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 2: to apologize for, but I feel incredibly guilty still and 866 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 2: know deep down that the whole thing my fault. It's 867 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 2: not your girlfriend. Sorry. Your sister's girlfriend is going to 868 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 2: blame it on you because that's how it was kind 869 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 2: of told to her, But it really is just your girlfriend. Sorry. 870 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 2: Your sister's girlfriend and your sister have bad communication skills, yeah, 871 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 2: and don't really know how to differentiate between what is 872 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 2: public and what is private. And also that you know 873 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 2: it could be like she felt like she had to 874 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 2: hide it a little bit with uh when she was 875 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 2: living with your guys' parents and feels a little bit 876 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 2: more comfortable around the space. But regardless, she really needs 877 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 2: to understand that it is different now that you are 878 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 2: living with her, and if she can't do that, if 879 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 2: it doesn't work, then she has to let you know 880 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 2: that you can't live with her. Yeah, but she can't 881 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 2: do this while you are here, and she's saying it's 882 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 2: fine that you're here. I massively overstep my bounds where 883 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 2: I shouldn't have. You really didn't and now may have 884 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,800 Speaker 2: caused a rift in my sister's relationship. I hate myself 885 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 2: right now for what happened, and I'm feeling incredibly stupid. 886 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 2: And guilty. Wish there was some way to help, but 887 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 2: I'm worried anything I say or do could unintentionally make 888 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 2: things worse. And there is an update. 889 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 3: Folks, Oh my goodness, but what do you think It 890 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 3: also sounds like there's a layer beneath just the PDA. Yeah, 891 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 3: op asked the sister, Hey, I don't want you to 892 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 3: do anything while I'm like can physically see you. 893 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 894 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 3: The sister took it as, oh, you look for us 895 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 3: anything near us, even if you're in the same apartment 896 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 3: in us, I'm not gonna do it. 897 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 898 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 3: And maybe this is just like my hypothetical thing. Maybe 899 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 3: the sister actually isn't okay with the PDA, found an 900 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 3: excuse for it, and is now using that anytime her 901 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 3: girlfriend's around. And then her girlfriend gets upset at the 902 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 3: sister because she wants to, you know, be a physical, 903 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 3: be affectionate, but she's not having it because, oh her 904 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 3: the excuse is here. Maybe there's a little bit more 905 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 3: there than just the brother. 906 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: No, I agree. I think oftentimes when you have like 907 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 2: people who are like really PDA, there is one person 908 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 2: who's someone not saying that, Like, it's not like both 909 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 2: of them doing it. But like you have one person 910 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 2: who is maybe more of an instigator. Yeah, and maybe 911 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 2: she's realizing Oh yeah, my brother brought it up. Oh 912 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 2: I am a little bit more self conscious of it now. 913 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. 914 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 2: But there is an update, folks, Hey, John Ogi hoist here. 915 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 3: We're gonna get back to this episode. But a quick 916 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 3: three minute break of ads from a sponsor's keeping the 917 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 3: show alive. 918 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, my sister and her girlfriend broke up. Dude, that's 919 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 2: not your fault. Yeah, however, it was not my fault. 920 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 2: It's not your fault. Oh they were having Yeah, they 921 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 2: were having so many more problems. If all it took 922 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 2: for them to break up was you been like, hey, 923 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 2: can you cool it? And they were like, how dare you? Yeah, 924 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 2: your sister had a lot of other problems in that relationship. Yeah, 925 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: it seems they've had some problems for a while. I 926 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 2: just haven't known anything about it. I had a talk 927 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 2: with my sister about what I had said. I basically 928 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 2: told her that when I asked her to tone it down, 929 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 2: I didn't mean to avoid any form of physical contact 930 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 2: with her girlfriend, just to avoid the over the intense stuff. 931 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 2: I pointed out how I'd noticed they had suddenly got 932 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 2: so cold and frosty with each other, and I hoped 933 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 2: she wasn't taking my polite request too far. She told 934 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 2: me it wasn't my fault at all. They had some 935 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: issues for a while. I just didn't know about it. Honestly, 936 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 2: I was surprised because they'd been together for so long 937 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 2: and they always seemed like the perfect couple. They were 938 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 2: always so happy and so much in love around each other. 939 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 2: My sister told me she loves her girlfriend so much, 940 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 2: but there are two sides to her. There is the 941 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 2: side of her that is really loving and caring and kind, 942 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 2: but there's the other side where she is sometimes overly possessive, controlling, 943 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: and demanding, which honestly might be why there is so 944 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 2: much PDA, because it's kind of like that asserting dominance 945 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 2: thing of like, oh God, I want it. It seems 946 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 2: there's an ongoing communication problem. I called that. I saw 947 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 2: it where whenever my sister denies her something, their girlfriend 948 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 2: gets angry and demanding, and this sometimes escalates into fights. 949 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: They always make up, and the girlfriend always ends up 950 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 2: apologizing and saying she's sorry and loves her, which is 951 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 2: why they've never broken up. Ooh, yeah, not great. Yikes, 952 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 2: a little love bombing, Yeah, yeah, absolutely no, Yeah, it's 953 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 2: you know, you have this big fight and then she's like, no, 954 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I love you, and blah blah blah. I 955 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: told her I had no idea about all of this. 956 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot that I don't know. I told my 957 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 2: sister that this sounds serious and if this is a 958 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 2: real problem, she needs to have a serious talk with 959 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 2: her girlfriend or end things if she's not listening, my 960 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 2: sister said she entirely agreed, but was herself scared of 961 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 2: the outcome. I told her I'd always have her back. 962 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: She asked me if i'd maybe say something to her 963 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 2: girlfriend about it, since I was good friends with her 964 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 2: and me game often together. I told her maybe I could, 965 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 2: but I think this is something she needs to address herself. Absolutely, 966 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 2: don't do that. Do not talk to her girlfriend about that. 967 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 3: That's that is not that Yeah, how about it. 968 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 2: That's crossing the line for sure. Yeah, yikes, Yeah, that 969 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 2: would see, that's probably why they have problems in the relationship. 970 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 3: That is, I don't know. I can't imagine that. Does 971 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 3: she not have enough friends outside of this? Yeah, that's 972 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 3: my other question. 973 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 2: Well, I wonder if the girlfriend has been pretty controlling 974 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 2: about who she can and can't be friends with and 975 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 2: maybe monopolizing her time. 976 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. 977 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,720 Speaker 2: A few days later, I was at home playing games 978 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 2: with my sister's girlfriend while my sister was at work. 979 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 2: The girlfriend said to me, it doesn't really bother you 980 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 2: that much when your sister and I kiss, does it? 981 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: What? 982 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 2: And I don't really think it's your place to get 983 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: in between our relationship. You're just a guest in her home. 984 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 3: Ooh ooh. 985 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 2: I told her. I agreed and didn't say much else 986 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 2: and just steered away from the topic. Stop trying to 987 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 2: evolve Opee Cross. Like literally, they're both trying to get 988 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 2: Ope to be this kind of like mediator in their 989 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 2: relationship or just kind of scapegoat. Like on Op's sister's side. 990 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 2: She wants them to be the mediator, and then the 991 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 2: girlfriend wants him to be the scapegoat. And it's like, 992 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 2: I just don't even want to be involved. 993 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 3: I don't want to be here. 994 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 2: I just I just want to be in the library. 995 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 2: That's it. 996 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: I just want to eat my frosted flakes without my 997 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 3: sister making back out, That's all I ask. Also, I 998 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 3: think the girlfriend's or sister's girlfriend wants to be around 999 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 3: yeah with the brother playing video games so she can 1000 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 3: still have an end. 1001 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 2: When my sister came home, she said hi to us. 1002 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 2: It was a much colder high to her girlfriend than 1003 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 2: to me. She came up gave me a hug and 1004 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 2: a kiss from behind as usual. Her girlfriend quickly got 1005 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 2: upset and stood up, demanding to know why she showed 1006 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 2: such affection towards me but not towards her, and it 1007 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 2: escalated into an argument. Yikes. My sister gave me a 1008 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 2: look and I knew she was going to break up 1009 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,399 Speaker 2: with her. She gave me the keys to her car 1010 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 2: and told me to go to the shops and watch 1011 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,919 Speaker 2: a movie or something. Go out, come back later. 1012 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,439 Speaker 3: Here's twenty bucks. 1013 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 2: Here's twenty bucks by yourself. Something nice. I went out 1014 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 2: alone for the to the night, mostly sitting in the 1015 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,879 Speaker 2: movie theater until quite late. I got a text from 1016 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 2: my sister asking why I was out for so long, 1017 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,879 Speaker 2: and that she didn't mean for me to be gone 1018 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 2: that long. Oh be, He's like, I didn't even want 1019 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 2: to chance it. 1020 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, she's think you both take things too far. 1021 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 2: I got home and saw she was crying pretty badly. 1022 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,839 Speaker 2: They had broken up as expected. Apparently, it wasn't nice. 1023 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,279 Speaker 2: I can't imagine it would be. I did what I 1024 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 2: could to make her feel better, and we talked things over. 1025 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 2: I had really thought the relationship was the one, but 1026 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 2: it seemed not. Not everything is meant to be, and 1027 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 2: there was a lot that I apparently didn't know about it. 1028 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 2: It was all happy and perfect on the outside, but 1029 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,399 Speaker 2: it seemed there were huge tensions on the inside. Since 1030 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 2: her girlfriend was over at my sister's apartment quite often, 1031 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 2: there was some of her stuff there. My sister asked 1032 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 2: me to take it back to her since she didn't 1033 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 2: want to see her again. She said I should do 1034 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,279 Speaker 2: it since I'm her friend, and she told me I 1035 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 2: could still be friends with her and game with her 1036 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 2: if I wanted to. Their breakup shouldn't affect that. I 1037 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,879 Speaker 2: feel like this is how she treated Ope, he should 1038 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 2: affect it. 1039 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1040 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 2: I drove some of the stuff back to her ex 1041 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 2: girlfriends the next day and I had a brief chat 1042 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 2: with her. 1043 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, dude, stopped talking to her. Dude, you dude, 1044 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 3: you don't understand where you are to her, You're you're 1045 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 3: the bait. On the end, of a fishing look, and 1046 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 3: you keep no, you keep going up to the earth, 1047 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 3: so you could become the bait. 1048 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 2: I've had to do this before with like a ex 1049 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,879 Speaker 2: friend when they broke up with their partner.

She was also quite upset, and I 1077 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,799 Speaker 2: just basically said, I'm really sorry the way things turned out. 1078 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 2: She apologized for trying to blame me for some of 1079 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 2: the deep seated problems they had. We both agreed, even 1080 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 2: though we're good friends, we should stay apart for a 1081 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 2: long while now because of the breakup. 1082 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 3: You guess they're good friends. 1083 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 2: But there is a little bit left do this story. 1084 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 2: Do you have any final thoughts? 1085 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 3: This is just this is tough.

I mean they've been dating since 1100 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 2: high school, so, but it's expected when you have a 1101 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 2: major breakup from such a huge relationship. I didn't pry 1102 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 2: too much or ask for any gossip or info that 1103 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 2: wasn't freely given to me by her. I told her 1104 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 2: I'll work on finding a place to move to, but 1105 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 2: she said purely and honestly that she would rather I 1106 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 2: stay in her apartment for the time being. Yeah, she 1107 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,320 Speaker 2: probably wants the comfort. She's like, I have no d 1108 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 2: and I'm alone. Please stay with me. 1109 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 3: You ever stay with her, or she's gonna adopt kittens.
