1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Buggal up, Hold on tight, we gotta call you here.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: It is Sawberry Letta. I know subject kind of manage

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: a TOI save my marriage. Dear Stephen Shirley, I have

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: known my husband for twenty years and we've been married

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: for three years. He cheated on me multiple times with

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: multiple women, but I'm standing by my wedding vows. I

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: always prayed that the Good Lord would see us through

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: his infidelity, and now we're rebuilding our marriage. Not many

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: women would be as forgiving as I am. Having said

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: all of that, I still have plenty of good sense

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: and I've reached my limit on foolishness, So you can

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: only imagine how I felt recently when my husband asked

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: me for a threesome. Yes, he asked me more than

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: once to have another woman join us in the bedroom.

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: He said that it will keep him from fantasizing about

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: other women and having the urge to cheat. I told

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: him he needs professional help and a better relationship with

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the Lord. He told me that I need to obey

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: him like I obey the Lord and give him what

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: he wants. Like I said, I stand by my vows,

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: and I do submit and obey my husband to an extent,

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: but this time he has gone too far. The God

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: that I served would not condone this. I don't want

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: to lose my marriage, but this man may need more

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: than I can give him. Please help me figure this

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: one out. Wow. And as we mentioned earlier, Steve will

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: not be responding. Tommy will Jesus, You're gonna have to

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: I can, okay? All right, all right? Well you know

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: what you ask for us to Please help you figure

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: this one out. I think you know, in your heart

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: of hearts you you already have this figured out. You

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: know what the deal is. Uh, you just want Steve

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: and I to confirm it for you. I mean, you

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself wedding vows aside for a second,

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: why are you still taking this, this cheating and these

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: ridiculous requests from your husband? I mean, why are you

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: still standing in all of this? Your husband is disrespectful,

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: he's selfish, uh, and has obviously no regard for you,

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: your marriage or your marriage vows. Just because you've known

40
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: him for twenty years and have been hanging in there,

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you can't put his trifling but in

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: his place. Let him know how you really really feel.

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Just like you told us in the letter. I mean,

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: you're right. Not many women would be as forgiving as

45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you are. Uh so many women are, though, But I

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, this is a lot. Twenty years, he's been

47
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: cheating on you with multiple women, and you're still there.

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't know how much more you

49
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: think you can take. I mean, or are you willing

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to take? Why are you willing to take this? You

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: don't have to. You don't have to. There is nothing

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: in the marriage vows that say you have to stay

53
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: here if he's cheating on you like this. This is ridiculous. Um.

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, I've think you figured this

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: out on your own. You know what to do. You

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: just want Steve and I to confirm it. If he

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: continues to do this, you gotta get out of this.

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: I think you made a good suggestion. He does need

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: professional help and a better relationship with the Lord. Having

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: said that, Tommy, you're up, glad you've finished with the Lord.

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Obey me like you obey the Lord, obey me the

62
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: same way. What do the vials say? What do they say,

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Anna and obey? Don't they say that? Yeah? A lot

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: of women don't keep those in there, though, But but

65
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: they but so you can't just take out what you want.

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: So let me say this to you. Get some old

67
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: people in this room. I didn't ask for it, and

00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: ask for it now I quit flirting with other women.

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: If you do what, get some old paper in this room.

00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: He's not the question. Steve is wrong for letting you

118
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: cant of manage twice save my marriage please. Let's first

119
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: of all, it's a ridiculous statement for this woman to make.

120
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: She's been with this husband for twenty years. They've been

121
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: married three He's cheated on her multiple times with multiple women.

122
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: You are she standing by her wedding vows. She's prayed

123
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: that the Good Lord would see us through this infidelity.

124
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: Now they're rebuilding their marriage, and she realizes that not

125
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: many women would be as forgiven as I am. Having

126
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 1: said that, uh, and she still got plenty good sense.

127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: She has reached her limit of foolishness, so I can

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: only imagine how we felt when he recently asked her

129
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: for a threesome. He asked this lady more than once

130
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: to have another woman join us in the bedroom. He

131
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: said it will keep him from fantasizing about other women

132
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: and having the urge to cheat. She told him he

133
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: needs professional help and a better relationship with the Lord.

134
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: He told her that I need to obey him like

135
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: I obey the Lord, and give him what he wants. Well,

136
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the lady then said, I stand by my vials, and

137
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I do submit and obey my husband to an extent,

138
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: but this time he's gone too far. God, I served

139
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: would not condone this. I don't want to lose my marriage.

140
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: That's a key line here. But this man may need

141
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: more than I can give him. Please help me figure

142
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: this out. It's nothing to figure this out. Listen to me.

143
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: First of all, you're the only one honoring the vials

144
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: in this relationship. You're the only one. He has never

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: all honored de Vials, and he's not willing to honor him. Now,

146
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: you don't really have a real marriage. You have something,

147
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 1: but he's not married to you. You're just married to him.

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Not a cold part about this, dude, is he didn't

149
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: ask you to have a threesome. And the reason he

150
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: told you that because it would keep him from fantasizing

151
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: about other women and having the urge to cheat. What

152
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: so you think if you bring another woman in the

153
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: bedroom and will stop you from fantasizing about him and

154
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: it to cause you not to want to cheat, when

155
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: the whole time you in that living out of fantasy

156
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: and cheating and your wife watching. Boy bye, I mean

157
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: for real, are you serious? So what this man has done,

158
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: he's pulled to Donald Trump on you. He has flipped

159
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: the narrative. He actually got you thinking that it's because

160
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: of you that he's having to fantasize and cheat. And

161
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: if you wanted to stop, you would bring in a

162
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: third party. Then you would have your husband not cheating

163
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: and fantasizing. But the whole time he played living out

164
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: of fantasy and he's cheating right in front of you

165
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: with your permission. Lady, you're not that stupid, you can't be.

166
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: And then he keeps talking about you should obey him

167
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the way you obey the Lord. What boy, you ain't

168
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: the Lord, you ain't even close. Here's the problem with

169
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: the bringing the woman into the marriage that's already in trouble.

170
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm listening. How do you fix what's wrong with another wrong?

171
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: He's not trying to fix his marriage. He's trying to

172
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: get all his urges and fantasies fulfilled. And they don't

173
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: include you. They include other women. I can't believe you

174
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: entertaining this. I can't believe you still manage it. Why

175
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: are you married to him? It's only be y'all only

176
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: got twenty years invested. My question is, why don't you

177
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: leave so you can stop this misery you in And

178
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: do you want twenty more years of this? Because that's

179
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: all he trying to do. He needs to be married

180
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: to a striple. Yeah, you go down there and just

181
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,640
