Like 336 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 3: if o pi hada literally like a thing dedicated to 337 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: his ex in the house. I'd be like, that's not reasonable, 338 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: but having photos with her in it, especially when it 339 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: has to do with a child. 340 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: Em come on, grow up, we're thirty relevant comments, whip 341 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: its shuffle. 342 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: You are one hundred percent not the a hole. Your 343 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: girlfriend is the a hole for destroying a child's keepsake 344 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: scrap book of their mother, regardless of how in and out. 345 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 4: Of the picture she is. Your daughter clearly didn't want 346 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 4: this to happen. 347 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: Someone says, imagine if she passed away instead of moved. 348 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 4: It's about the same situation. 349 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: Imagine how effing livid you would be that someone, anyone, 350 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: let alone your current girlfriend or wife, destroyed anything that 351 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: might have or had sentimental value. If there wasn't a 352 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: child involved, then I could lean towards her thinking, But 353 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 3: even then the logical thing to do would be to 354 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: talk about it. Hey, you know those pictures of your ex? 355 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: Why do you still keep them? And tell me if 356 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about this right, but I don't feel 357 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: like you should have them any longer as you are 358 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: with me. I guess if trying to communicate like adults, 359 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: she just went straight to like it let me rip this. 360 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: App and the thing, the most irreversible thing you did 361 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: is you ripped it up in front of a child. 362 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 3: Old. Yeah, you literally pulled stepmother ripping up Cinderella's dress 363 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 3: right before the ball. 364 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 4: That's crazy, Oh, he says. 365 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 3: I brought up that thought about what if biomm passed 366 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: away tomorrow. Her response was that Biomom's family would have 367 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: pictures for when daughter visits in California, and that we 368 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 3: shouldn't have any pictures of her in our home. 369 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 4: That's bonkers. 370 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: Also, to be completely fair, I didn't even know about 371 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: the scrap book until I saw her tearing it up. 372 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 3: My ex dropped off a ton of stuff at my 373 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 3: house when she moved last week. I wasn't hoarding pictures 374 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: of my ex regardless. I don't think girlfriends should be 375 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: threatened by my daughter having pictures of her mother. My 376 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: guy and says not the ale from what you posted, 377 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 3: it doesn't point to you being the bad guy at all. 378 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: I do wonder what abruptly ending the destruction entails, and 379 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 3: op says, yeah, that is a bit vague. On second glance, 380 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: I was in the middle of a building a plexiglass 381 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: lid for a hamster cage. When I heard my daughter 382 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: ask my girlfriend to stop. It was the first time 383 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 3: I had even seen the book. Ex wife dropped off 384 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: a ton of things when she moved. I told her 385 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: it wasn't hers to destroy and that I didn't think 386 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: it was wrong for my daughter to have the pictures. 387 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: At this point, I realized she had dumped a bunch 388 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 3: of the pictures in the outside trash can, so I 389 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 3: went outside to get them. That's when I realized it 390 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: wasn't just picks of me and my ex but also 391 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 3: picks of just my daughter and her mother. 392 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 4: What At that point, I got upset and certainly raised 393 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 4: my voice. 394 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 3: I was never demeaning or insulting, but very firm that 395 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: I would be keeping the pictures safe for her.

There, I've found the remains of the scrap book, 493 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: mostly put back together. However, I realized that at least 494 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 3: two pages were missing. I also noticed that a few 495 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 3: pictures in question weren't present. Upon questioning, I was directed 496 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 3: to a trash can, where I found a couple of 497 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 3: torn pictures. Still, to my dismay, I found that the 498 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: contents of the ravage scrap book were still incomplete. Further 499 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 3: investigation revealed another stash of torn pictures. Finally, I have 500 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 3: attained all of the pictures.

Yeah, this close. 513 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: I hope you were in the room when she apologized too. 514 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: It feels like you have scolded a child and told 515 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 3: her to go apologize, and she doesn't actually want to. 516 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: Like, none of that feels genuine. 517 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: To me, Like she doesn't feel like she's wrong. 518 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 519 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 3: No, it feels like she ripped them up. I mean, 520 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: like nothing that she said so far has shown that 521 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 3: she shows any guilt for her actions. She ripped up 522 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 3: way more than we previously thought, and now you had 523 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 3: to go tell her to apologize to your daughter. 524 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: I think this might be best for both of you. 525 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, to break up. 526 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 3: I won't bother lying, for I fear you would see 527 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 3: through me. I consider trying to work through it. I 528 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 3: thought perhaps her efforts to repair the scrap book are 529 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: worthy of forgiveness. Nay, yay, yay, he said, Nay, that means. 530 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 4: They're breaking up. Okay, our relationship has ended Wright. 531 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 3: We did it, and I am now focused solely on 532 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 3: raising my beautiful baby girl and my career. Good nice yes, 533 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 3: and taught relevant comments. I'm glad to hear it. I 534 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: kept checking back to see if there'd be an update 535 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: because your story really got to me. How is your 536 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 3: daughter doing? Is your ex gone? Like all moved out 537 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 3: and everything? Opie says, daughter is doing well. She was 538 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: super excited that s SO is moving out. She has 539 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: to move back to Texas, so logistics are in the works, 540 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 3: but so far it's been very tame and amicable. I 541 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 3: think it was mutual and expected. Missus E Cummings says, 542 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 3: good for you. The fact that this very insecure, childish 543 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 3: woman can handle that you have a past and your 544 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: daughter is a mother is a huge red flag. It's 545 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: not like you have family photos up all around her house. 546 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: Your child is a scrapbook of memories of her beloved 547 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: mother that I'm sure she keeps to herself. The fact 548 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: that she is that insecure, jealous, immature, and destructive towards 549 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 3: anything your daughter owns from her mother is scary. Actually, 550 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 3: what's to say that in one of her tantrums she 551 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 3: doesn't decide to destroy gifts from a birthday or Christmas 552 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 3: that would do some serious damage to your I know 553 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 3: from experience you have made the right move. Find someone 554 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: who will act like a grown woman and not be 555 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 3: jealous of the fact that you have a passed. 556 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 4: Just like they do. And OP says, good point. 557 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 3: And actually we had a recent argument as SOO wanted 558 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 3: to sell a few Christmas gifts that were dropped off 559 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: with the scrap book roller skates, clothes. 560 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: Oh dude, she does not want to be a mom. 561 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 3: No, she that's crazy. She wanted to sell gifts that 562 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: your ex had given to your daughter. 563 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: Know how out she didn't say donate. 564 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: Even now she's like, let's sell them. 565 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 3: I want to make money off your ex.

If you didn't know of the 575 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 3: existence of the book until it was being destroyed, how 576 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 3: do you know what was and wasn't missing, Opie says. 577 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 3: When I stopped her from destroying it, I took all 578 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: the pages and pictures that had been removed and put 579 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 3: them in a box to keep safe. In doing so, 580 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 3: I made a basic mental inventory of what was there. 581 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 3: They were all pictures I had seen before from my 582 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: previous marriage, so it was easy to realize what was missing. 583 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 3: So she not only ripped up the scrap book, but 584 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 3: OPI took it, and then she ripped it up after 585 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 3: the fact too. 586 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: I thought she put it back together and then only 587 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: had two pages missing. 588 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 4: She put it back together, but like had taken out 589 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 4: a bunch of stuff. 590 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: Oh but she had two pages yet.

I clicked on the 846 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 3: search button and she was in his search, including a 847 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 3: few other girls, including his ex. I said, why are 848 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 3: you searching for them? Are you keeping dibbs or what's 849 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 3: going on? He said no, and that he accidentally clicked 850 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 3: on their names while reading other friends' comments sections that 851 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 3: they're mutual with liar. 852 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 5: Hey, John og host, we don't get back to the stories, 853 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 5: but a quick free minute break of ads from our sponsors. 854 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: Saw how that works. 855 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: You're literally a liar. I did not believe him at all. 856 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 3: I asked him to blockers so he wouldn't keep clicking 857 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 3: on them. He did, Why do we have to keep 858 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 3: going through the same thing? 859 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 2: How many lives has been now? 860 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: Like he high also, I doubt it. 861 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 3: More weeks past and he went up hunting by himself 862 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 3: every weekend to camp. We stayed in touch, text call, 863 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 3: He let me know when he was going to bed, 864 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 3: and we talked the next day. 865 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 2: What was he hunting for? 866 00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 4: Women? 867 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 3: Women's numbers, consistent relationship stuff. This was about four weeks 868 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 3: ago to this day. Just the other night, we were 869 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 3: on the phone together and I had him on speaker 870 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 3: while scrolling Facebook. In the background, the friend's thing popped 871 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 3: up again and I saw Samantha's profile. It said one 872 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 3: mutual friend. My stomach literally dropped. I clicked on it, 873 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 3: and sure enough it was him. I let out a disappointed. 874 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 4: Sigh and just thought not again. He asked what I said, 875 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 4: when did you add her? Immediately started yelling and cussing 876 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 4: at me. Just too much going on for asking a question, 877 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 4: why are we still here? 878 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 3: The thing is like, you were single for so long, 879 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 3: and yet I don't think that actually helped you learn 880 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 3: how to respect yourself. I think hopefully you can go 881 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 3: to therapy, because there's still work to be done. If 882 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 3: this is like treatment that you're accepting, I asked again 883 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 3: when he added her, and he said, when he was 884 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 3: up camping a few weeks ago, he was laying in 885 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 3: bed night bored, thought of her and went and added her. 886 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 3: I said that as apps absolutely not okay that you 887 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 3: readded someone who you told me is a threat to me, 888 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 3: and that you wanted to marry because she was perfect 889 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 3: to you.
