1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Sick of my brother's girlfriend. Good Morning, Steve harden More

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: and Show, twenty seven year old single mother. I pretty

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: much have a great life and very happy except for

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: one thing. My relationship with my brother is strained because

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: I cannot stand his girlfriend. She's lazy, lying, gold digger.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: My brother and I were roommates for a little over

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: a year until recently when his girlfriend moved in. That's

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: when the phone hit the fan. The girl wakes up

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: like two pm every day, doesn't work, cook, clean, or

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: do anything productive. She wastes electricity and water, and doesn't

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: contribute to any of the household needs or expenses. I

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: got tired of it, so I moved out. The only

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: thing she tells all day is talk on the phone

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: and send text messages, keeps up drama and play rock band.

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: She's disrespectfully rude to everyone she comes in contact with.

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: I don't like her, my parents don't like her. None

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: of my friends and some of my brother friends don't

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: even like her. I feel that she's only with my

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: brother because she thinks he has more than what he

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: has and she needs a place to stay. She's trying

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: to get pregnant by him for the third time. She's

22
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: had two miscasts and already has a child from a

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: previous relationship that she has take care of. My brother

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: has had several opportunities to get out of this unhealthy relationship,

25
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: but she always finds a way to creep back in.

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: Despite the many, many warning signs, he's still with it.

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: He's even seen so much hell since he's never seen

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: so much hell since meeting this girl. Within the one

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: year that he's known her, he was carjacked in front

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: of her parents house. All football attempts have failed, he's

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: lost friends, et cetera. Someone made a joke that she

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: may have put roots on him because there's nothing about

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: her that would attract a man more or less keep

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: him well, todd Sister, I can't say you're wrong fulfilling

35
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: this way because you love your brother and you see

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: something foul happening to your brother. But he is the

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: key to the whole letter. He's grown, it's his life

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: and he's entitled to live it the way he wants.

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: You said that in the letter. Okay, see, but the

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: problem is, though you want your brother to live his

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: life the way you want to, I think your real

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: problem with the girlfriend is it messed up your little

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: situation you and your brother had. I think you and

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: your brother were roommates. I think it was easy for

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: you because you had somebody to share the rent with,

46
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: the electricity, the water, etcetera, etcetera. And then he moved

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: her in. Now, you, as a woman, ain't about to

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: take care of another woman. And since she wasn't contributing

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: to the water electricity, that she waste all day. As

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: you put it, you got sick and tired of going

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: to work every day hustling to provide a roof over

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: this woman's head that's making obviously no contribution according to you. Now,

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: let's get down to your brother. Why can't your brother

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: leave her? Long? Well, let me tell you why your

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: brother came do because your brother is what we call whipped.

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Your brother is whipped. You may not like this girl,

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: but this girl has a skill, and this skill is

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: affecting your brother's better judge. We've all had it happened,

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: where it affected our better judge. Been there, huh hello,

00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: And it ain't that is all that good. It's just

62
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: at that particular time, it's just that good to us

00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: see quilt. It sounds like your nephew. Right then, really

64
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: physical whilpt is a state of mind. Your brother is

65
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: in a state. Now, let's stop the ridiculous stuff That
