1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Cowboy Sam and this is Eh John. And 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: we've last showed in some amazing stories for y'all the 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: Okay Storytime podcasts. 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 2: But before that we got a wrangle, a quick little 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 2: two minute outbreak from those bucking sponsors. 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: We bucking love so much they paid us the bucks 7 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: to help this show stay alive. My girlfriend had me 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: dress up as a woman. Now I think I am 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: one plot twist self discovery. I am thirty three, born male, 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: and I have had major self image issues my entire life. 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: I hated seeing myself in mirrors, pictures, you name it. 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: I honestly thought it was kind of normal, so I 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: just accepted it. By the way, this comes from Away 14 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: through Jesse on the Okay Storytime subured it now. About 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: three weeks ago, I was at my girlfriend's house. We 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: have been dating a little over a year now and 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: have plans to move in together soon now. Recently she's 18 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: shaved her head to support our friend with cancer. Side note, 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: treatments for that friend are going very well. She has 20 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: since bought some wigs to wear while her hair grows 21 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: back out. We were joking around as I have male 22 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: pattern baldness, and when she went to the bathroom. I 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: jokingly threw a wig on and waited. She came out, 24 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: saw me. We laugh for a bit, and she said, 25 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: you know, I think you'd make a pretty girl. We 26 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: laughed some more, but those words triggered something in me 27 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: caught to a few nights ago. She asked why I've 28 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: been acting weird lately, and I just told her how 29 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: I was feeling. She said, all right, let's do this, 30 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: and when I asked what, she told me she was 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: going to give me a bit of a makeover and 32 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: put me in one of her dresses and if I 33 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: liked it, then good. I was nervous and asked, what 34 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: if I did like it, would she still be attracted 35 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: to me. She just responded with, baby, you know I'm 36 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: by guy or girl, you're still mud. It's the best 37 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: case scenario. I love it. Her words reassured me. Honestly, 38 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: I love her so much. Anyway, She finished the makeup, 39 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: fitted a wig on me perfectly, and got me at 40 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: a dress and even helped me put a bron and 41 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: stuff in a little so I could see what boobs 42 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: would kind of look like on me. Now I expected 43 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: to see myself in the mirror. Laugh this off and 44 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: move on, right, But I didn't. She did an unbelievable job. 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: I looked like I had been born a woman, And 46 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: when I saw myself in the mirror for the first 47 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: time in my entire life, I liked what I saw. 48 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: I'd probably stared at myself for a good ten minutes 49 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: before she finally asked me something. She asked what I 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: wanted to be called. After a few seconds, I said Jesse. 51 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: I always liked the name Jesse. She whispered in my ear, well, Jesse, 52 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: you look beautiful, and that was it. I knew this 53 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: was who I wanted to be. I'm nervous now though 54 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: my friends will accept it, but my family are well, 55 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: let's just say, not very progressive. But this is what 56 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: I want, and there is an update. I think it's 57 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: always going to be scary coming out to family and friends, yeah, 58 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: especially if they're not progressive. But I think you living 59 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: your you know, full list and most authentic self is 60 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: the most important thing, especially if you were saying that, 61 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, like you were never happy with how you 62 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: looked before, right, And if this is like such an 63 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: exciting thing, it's like why you don't want to waste 64 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: your life like worrying about what other people think.

However, no clue 103 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: how I'm going to break it to them and redditors 104 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: hope OPI has fun clothes shopping that must be amazing 105 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: that much.

Actually, I'm excited. It'll be the first 108 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: time I'll be out as Jesse so also nervous as heck, 109 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: and there is another updates. Hello everyone, This is an 110 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: official follow up to my previous post that went viral 111 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: and caught me on guard. So me and my girlfriend, 112 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: who has officially agreed to disclose her name, Emily, have 113 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: gone shopping for me to get my outfits and the 114 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: like earlier. Today, I put on one of those outfits 115 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 1: and officially faced the world as Jesse for the first time. 116 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: To say I was nervous would be an understatement. We 117 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: went to our local mall and I was almost shaking. Thankfully, 118 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: Emily calmed me down and said if anyone said anything 119 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: mean to me, she'd handle it. I love all right, 120 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: then playfully threw up her hands like a boxer. He 121 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: stepped inside and started walking around, going in stores, and 122 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: I noticed something. No one was staring like at all. 123 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: I live in an area that still has issues with 124 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: LGBTQ people, so I was afraid of staring or aggressive people, 125 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: but none of that happened. People greeted me, the store 126 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: workers were kind, and nobody looked at me like I 127 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: was weird. I felt comfortable, and Emily even said she 128 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: saw someone check me out, though I doubt that this 129 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: was unbelievable to me, and honestly, I felt like myself. 130 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: I also think there's kind of like a confident like 131 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: when you authentically yourself, you have this level of confidence 132 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: that attracts people, right, and. 133 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: When you like feel like you look good, like even 134 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: when I put on like an outfit or like I 135 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: like my makeup, it's like so much it changes your 136 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 3: whole demeanor. 137 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: Exactly, and people people like confidence. It feels nice that 138 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: I can go out without worrying about judging eyes. To 139 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: all the supporters of my previous post, thank you you 140 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: have made me happy. I'll keep this account going to 141 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: let you join me in my journey, and once I'm 142 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: confident enough, I'll post pics of me and Emily two 143 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: and then irrelevant comments about redditor recommends being a professional 144 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: for mental health support, Opie says, I'm going to be 145 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: speaking to my doctor about hormones and the such, but 146 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: to be honest, probably not going to start them for 147 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: a while. I'm taking baby steps. Surgeries are currently not 148 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: on my mind, but never know where life will take us, 149 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: and there's no rush. I mean, like youah kind of 150 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: just figured this out. Yeah, I like to take your 151 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: time and see what you want to do. 152 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: Too, right, because I'm sure even for yourself, like it's 153 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: a big adjustment, you know, So like that makes sense 154 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 3: that it would take time exactly. 155 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: And also like not every trans woman needs to get 156 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: those surgeries. It's true, like it looks different for everyone. Yeah, 157 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: and there is another update. Hello everyone, it's Jesse. If 158 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: you haven't been following my story, I would recommend reading 159 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: my other two posts first, as it will give some insight. 160 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: As much as I want my journey to be nothing 161 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: but beautiful stories of a world accepting me for who 162 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: I am, I feel I would be doing a disservice 163 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: to the trans community if I don't talk about what 164 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: happened earlier today. So I was out at the mall 165 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: with Emily again, just hanging out, getting various things. Honestly, 166 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: our internet had gone out and we were there mostly 167 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: for boredom. She had to go to the bathroom, so 168 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: I was waiting in the food court nearby for I 169 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: was approached by a woman about my age, maybe late twenties, 170 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: who openly asked me where I had gotten my top. 171 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: I'd tell her my girlfriend got it for me at 172 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: Old Navy. Here at the mall so quick. Little side note, 173 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: I have a very deep voice, like bottom of the 174 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: ocean deep, and I only recently started training my voice 175 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: to be more feminine, and that can take months to 176 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: years to get down. So I'm assuming she didn't realize 177 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: I was trans right away, which isn't a shocker since 178 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: I've still been wearing face masks for COVID, so just 179 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: looking at me, it's hard to tell. The moment she 180 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: heard my voice, however, the look on her face turned 181 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: to disgust. 182 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: No wow. 183 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: I instinctively ask if something's wrong, and that was apparently 184 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: the wrong thing to say. She shouts asking if I 185 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: was trans, to which I responded yes. This apparently triggered 186 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: her quite a bit, and she starts going on about 187 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: how people like me are abominations and that we will 188 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: burn and heck for being like this. Well, about this time, 189 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: Emily had come out of the bathroom and turned full 190 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: on mama bear mode. She gets between me and miss 191 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: Karen and just explodes back on her about mining her 192 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: own business and some other more colorful words. Karen starts 193 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: yelling back, and now the entire food court is staring. 194 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: Oh gos. Karen takes a step towards Emily as though 195 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: she was going to hit her, to which Emily just responds, 196 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: go on, do it. I love it, Emily, And at 197 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: this point I'm just trying to de escalate and get out. 198 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: I grab Emily and we start walking away, and Karen 199 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: starts following us, screaming away. Thankfully, a security guard finally 200 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: intervened and basically kicked her out. But we would never 201 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: kick you out. If you join us live every weekday 202 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: three pm PSD on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch, just 203 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: tap our profile. Just tap it. There's a little bit more. 204 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: But I don't know if I necessarily have like thoughts 205 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: on the situation, but I mean, unfortunately, it's always gonna 206 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: be people like that, but they suck. I liked the 207 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: first story. Yeah, happy party. 208 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: I've honestly felt I'm not transit, but like I just 209 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: on a very different level. I've experienced that where it's 210 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: like I've put on like a more extravagant and like, 211 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: you know, not normal outfit, and I get so worried 212 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 3: about like if other people are like staring or judging. 213 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: But honestly, it's like in some. 214 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: Cases, I guess they're they're not really gonna care, and 215 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: like even if they do care, like you're walking past 216 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: them and they'll just be like, oh interesting, and then 217 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 3: you'll you'll be good, you know what I mean. 218 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: So I liked that part of the story, Yeah, that part, 219 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: but then we have unfortunately the other part off right. 220 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: It's like best case and worst case scenario. This caught 221 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,359 Speaker 1: me very off guard, and I got a emotional Thankfully, 222 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: I had Emily there, and some bystanders even went out 223 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: of their way to compliment me and make me feel better, which, 224 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: to be fair, to help. Anyways, I'm all right and 225 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: this hasn't slowed me down, but I just wanted to 226 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: share it. There are still a lot of hateful people 227 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: in this world, and I know a lot of other 228 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: trans people have been reading my posts.

It will be five years in August. We 245 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: met online when I was a junior in college. We 246 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: hit it off and started our relationship only a week 247 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: after talking. 248 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: By the way, this comes. 249 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 3: From Rain nineteen ninety nine on the r slash Okay 250 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: storytime Separate It. He drove to see me from three 251 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 3: hours away almost every weekend. I would occasionally drive to 252 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: see him, but junior year is when studies a ramp up, 253 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: especially as I was pursuing a chemistry degree, so I 254 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: didn't get out his way much as much as he 255 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 3: did meet. He was okay with it at the time 256 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: and never really complained about driving to see me, as 257 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: he has said that I am the best he has 258 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 3: ever had. 259 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: Oh listen, listen, because you gotta drive. 260 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 3: We gotta know it could be worth it. When he 261 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: didn't get to drive out. He always said that he had. 262 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Work to do. 263 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 3: A little context to his work situation at the time, 264 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: he was basically working two jobs, one as full time 265 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 3: and the other was his lawn care business. He would 266 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 3: be working from six am to ten pm, sometimes midnight 267 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 3: during the week long days. This is still the same 268 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: to this day. After I graduated college, I moved in 269 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 3: with him to take a summer class for the last 270 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: credit I needed. I immediately started looking for jobs before 271 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: I was even done with the class, and I landed 272 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 3: one an hour away from his house. I started working 273 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: and drove two hours round trip to work. This drive 274 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 3: got super dangerous for me. I found myself falling asleep 275 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: driving to and from work and almost crashed a few times. 276 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: Along with that, we were not seeing each other much, 277 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 3: and now that I lived with him, he expected me 278 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 3: to basically be a housewife as well as work my 279 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: forty hour a week job with. 280 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: Ten hours of driving week. 281 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: He would even expect me to have fresh dinner ready 282 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: for him at ten pm, as he refused to eat. 283 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: Microwave food or make it himself. 284 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 3: I got sick of this really quick, as it caused 285 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: me to gain weight from eating so late. 286 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: And then going to bed soon after. 287 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: So, with the hour drive to and from work and 288 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: the unreasonable demands and us not seeing each other too much, 289 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: I moved closer to my job. 290 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: There you go. 291 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: He did not like that I was moving out, and 292 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 3: he said that he wouldn't likely do the driving to see. 293 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: Me like in college. Once I moved. 294 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: This didn't deter me, as I was focused on my 295 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: mental health and safety. We continued to drive to see 296 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: each other. This time I was the one driving almost 297 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: every weekend. There were some weekends that I wouldn't drive 298 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: because he would say that he had work to do 299 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: and it wouldn't be worth it as we wouldn't be 300 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: able to spend much quality time together. And in the 301 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 3: years since I moved out, he has driven to see 302 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: me maybe five times. 303 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: Five and a whole year year. That's insane, that's crazy. Yeah, nutt, 304 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: are you together right? 305 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 3: Since I take my weekend to see him, You would 306 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: think that he would appreciate that and not work. 307 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: You would be wrong. 308 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: He would work while I was there and suggested that 309 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: I just drive along with him as he mowed lawns 310 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: or delivered firewood. I did do this on multiple occasions 311 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: and at the end of the day. This didn't even 312 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: please him. He accused me of not being supportive of 313 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 3: him working so much, and complains that we have to 314 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: eat out every night I'm there due to him working 315 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: so late and neither of us being awake enough to 316 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: cook food. 317 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: So that does sound like that's oh Pie's fault. Yeah, 318 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: Oh my good. You can cook your own food in 319 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: the morning. Yeah. 320 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: And if she's literally like if you're the one working 321 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: so much and you're like, I can't, I can't make food, 322 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: and then you're like, ohp he come with me to 323 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: my work, and then you're like, ah, why can't you 324 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 3: make food? 325 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: It's like, what, what's going on? How does that make sense? 326 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: Doesn't That is only some of the things that he 327 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: complains about. Anyway, This post has gone on long enough, so. 328 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: I'll bring us back to the present. 329 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: For the past two weeks, we have been fighting a 330 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: constantly over text Since he works so much, I give 331 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 3: him the time to work and don't bother him by 332 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 3: texting him while he's at work. He has taken this 333 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: as me ignoring him, and thus I don't care about him. 334 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: I've told him on multiple occasions why I don't text him, 335 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: and he still chooses to think badly of me. I'm 336 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: the type of person that has text anxiety to the 337 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: point where I always text back right away and then 338 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 3: constantly check my phone for a reply. I don't want 339 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: to push myself in that situation by texting him when 340 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 3: I know he won't answer right away because he is working. 341 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: We talk on the phone occasionally during the week, but 342 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: it's most at night, right before I get ready to sleep. 343 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: These conversations are mostly one sided, and he just complains 344 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: about his day and never shows interest in my day 345 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: by asking me how I was. 346 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: Lots of issues here, lots and lots. 347 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 3: This is so exhausting and always leaves me to sleep 348 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: terribly so Now, since he gets upset that I don't 349 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: text him or call him often and that I don't 350 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: drive to see him every weekend, he releases everything he 351 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: has held in and brings up so many other things 352 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 3: to be mad at me. For some examples of things 353 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: he would bring up in texts is I don't want 354 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: kids and he does. He has known that since we 355 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 3: started dating, and I remind him constantly, yet he still 356 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: says that I'm wasting his time. I also don't want 357 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: to get married. This is true or false, as I 358 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 3: don't mind it, but I won't marry him unless. 359 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: We live together. 360 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: Another reason I don't want to move back with him 361 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: because of the long drive to work. I'm also apparently 362 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: forcing him to move away from his lawn care clients 363 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 3: by suggesting once that he could sell his house and 364 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: we could buy another house clothes to my job halfway, 365 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 3: so like thirty minutes commute for both of us. I 366 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: play PS five too much with online guy friends. This 367 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: one is especially annoying because I've never ever cheated on him, 368 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: and he has once or twice. The jealousy act is tiring, 369 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: even though I've told him I only talk about the 370 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: game while playing with them. Another reason is how he 371 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: always pays for things when I visit. This is bs 372 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: because I pay for at least one of the day's 373 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 3: meals whenever I'm there, but it always seems like more 374 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: when he pays because he always wants to eat at 375 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: fancier places. Another reason he brings up that he drove 376 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: all the time to see me in college and that 377 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: I basically owe him to do the same now. 378 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: I would rather live with my mom than him. This 379 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: is not the reason I moved out. 380 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 3: It just worked out that my mom could live with 381 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: me to help save money and live more comfortably as 382 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 3: I was already low on money from moving and starting 383 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 3: at the bottom of a new job. If this all 384 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 3: sounds like him, as it's because it is. There is 385 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 3: so much more to this story, as we have been 386 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 3: through tons of crap almost five years since we started dating. 387 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 3: We both love each other and don't want to be 388 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 3: the one to call the relationship off first. I'm leaning 389 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 3: more towards saying it first now after these past couple 390 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 3: of weeks, as I don't really have it in me 391 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: to constantly reassure him and defend myself against what he 392 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 3: assumes of me. I would miss him and the activities 393 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 3: we get to do when I visit him. If you 394 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 3: made it to the end, would I be the a hole? 395 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 3: If I broke up with my boyfriend? And there is 396 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: an updates? But what's our answer, Sophia. 397 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: You would be the a hole if you stayed with him. 398 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry he cheated on you. He's watching multiple times, 399 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: multiple times he refuses to let you play games with 400 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: your guy friends. Also, the point about you know him 401 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: wasting his time because you don't want kids and he does. Honestly, 402 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: I hate this man. I kind of agree that you're 403 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: both a little bit wasting your time, right, but it's 404 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: especially given all of the other terrible things about this man. 405 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: Why are we here? Why are we here? 406 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: But it's just so like bothersome that he's like, oh, 407 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: cause you don't want kids, you're wasting my time, when 408 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 3: it's like, well, then break up. 409 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, just break up, like that's that's what it is. 410 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm so annoyed. He's like, oh, you're like causing all 411 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: of these problems, and it's like, dude, just yeah, bake up. 412 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 3: Update sort of, Well, thank you everyone who took the 413 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: time to respond and give me advice. After some thinking, 414 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: I've decided to break up with him soon. 415 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: Deep down, I. 416 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: Think I knew that it was time. I just needed 417 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 3: to get all my thoughts out. I chose the internet 418 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 3: because I don't have close friends to vent too, hence 419 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: why the post was so long and gives off me 420 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 3: being pathetic for those pointing out that it should have 421 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 3: been over once he cheated, I agree, but honestly stayed 422 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 3: for selfish reasons. Getting to state his house that is 423 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 3: on a lake near Lake bars and pools and have 424 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: someone to go out to eat with and try new foods. 425 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: I mean, ibody. He's like, yeah, I don't really want 426 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: to be in a relationship with you. Yeah, but like 427 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: the lake house, but like the perks are amazing. Yeah, 428 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: the benefits is really our boyfriend with benefits right right. 429 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: In terms of the cheating, he was emotionally cheating on me. 430 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 3: Nothing physical happened, Okay, he downloaded Tinder again and talked 431 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 3: to multiple girls telling them that he needed someone that 432 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: would care about him. That is a crazy about of 433 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 3: emotional cheating. That's not even just like I mean, it 434 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 3: would still be bad if I don't know. He was 435 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 3: like confiding in a friend a little too much, get 436 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: a little too close with a friend or something, but 437 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: actively downloading Tinder and thinking himself that he wasn't being 438 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: cared about without breaking up with you for that reason alone, 439 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 3: Nicolas talking to multiple like that's crazy. Downloading a dating 440 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: app while you're in a relationship is insane. Now, it's 441 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 3: not the worst degree of cheating, but he was hiding 442 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: it from me, and I only found out because I 443 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 3: had a feeling and looked through his phone. We did 444 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: take a break at that point, but got back together. 445 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: And the reason I said, once or twice a friend 446 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 3: caught him on another site, and I don't know for 447 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 3: sure if he had the chance to actually go through 448 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 3: with talking to someone else. He denied it when I asked, 449 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 3: I don't believe him. 450 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: I don't buy it. I don't buy it for one second, 451 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: not for one second. 452 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 3: And for those saying that I am the a hole 453 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 3: for wasting his time or that I sound insufferable, like 454 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: I said, this is only part of the story. I 455 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 3: think I've always been the most supportive girlfriend through the 456 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 3: past four years. An example I can give is that 457 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 3: whenever he gets calls from customers and we're on the phone, 458 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 3: I let him hang up and talk to them, or 459 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 3: if we are spending time together, I let him take 460 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 3: calls because he always gets on to himself that he 461 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: might lose money if he doesn't answer. By the way, 462 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 3: you can always spend time with us every week day 463 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: three pm PSC if you join us live on YouTube. 464 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: Facebook, TikTok, just tap our profile. Tap it probably live 465 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: right now, check just tap it second. 466 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 467 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 468 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: I've told him my views on kids in the future 469 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: and explicitly asked if he wanted to continue. Giving that information, 470 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: he said he wants to continue. Now I'm slowly realizing 471 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 3: that he probably only said that to keep me around, 472 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: as I am the best spicy sleep he has ever had, 473 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: according to him. 474 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: Ah, there's still more, but that's so annoying. Loki was 475 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: a red flag when he said that the first time. 476 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: When she was like, like, you know you're coming all 477 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: the way out, He's like, don't worry. 478 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, spicy sleep, right, because you don't want like 479 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: the main thing that they value to be that because 480 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: I love you? 481 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: Right. 482 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 3: It might also help to say that this is my 483 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 3: first real relationship and I'm only learning. I want to 484 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: see the good in everybody and give them a chance. Ah, 485 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 3: I've been there. There's just too many things in this 486 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: relationship that I now realize out weighs the few times 487 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: that he is nice and kind to me exactly. But 488 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 3: that's the end. I am so glad you got there, oh, 489 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 3: because a minute, you don't deserve all that. 490 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: No, you don't deserve a way better, and you're gonna 491 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: find that better yeah, like two seconds, yeah, and then 492 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, whoa if? How come I was 493 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: missing out on this whole time if you're the best 494 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: spicy sleep that he's ever had. Yeah, dude, just to wait. 495 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: But that's the end of the story. But we're gonna 496 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: get into the next one. Wit. My boyfriend thinks my 497 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: family is weird because we invited him on the family vacation. 498 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 3: That is the nicest thing that they could do, so 499 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: incredibly sweet. 500 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: I twenty female and my boyfriend twenty two male. I've 501 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: been in a relationship for just under two and a 502 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: half years. I was under the impression that his family 503 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: liked me a lot and that my family liked him 504 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: a lot as well. We got back from a family 505 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: vacation just two days ago, and I'm feeling conflicted about 506 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: it now. By the way, this comes from anonymous thirty 507 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: three p. Fifty on the r slash Shokey Storytime Separated. 508 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: So to get to the story, my family invited my 509 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: boyfriend to come on vacation with us for three days 510 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: out of our home state. It wasn't anything extravagant, just 511 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: a small little trip where we went hiking and sight seeing, 512 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: et cetera. Me, my sister, my brother, and my boyfriend 513 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: drove separately from my mom, dad, and grandparents while we 514 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: were driving, my boyfriend asked my siblings if they would 515 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: be uncomfortable if theirsohs invited them on a trip like this. 516 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: My brother said that if he had only been with 517 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: them for a short time, then yeah, but given our circumstances, no. 518 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: Since I was the one driving, I just stayed quiet. 519 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. It hurt my feeling a lot, but 520 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like it was that big of a deal. 521 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: I'm quite an overthinker. When we got to the hotel 522 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: we were staying at, my boyfriend just looked like he 523 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: didn't want to be there, and so I asked him 524 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: if he was having fun, to which he said, no, 525 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: I really just don't want to be here. I was 526 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: honestly taken aback because I didn't really know what to say. 527 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: I started to tear up and just walked away. The 528 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: rest of the trip was just silence between us and 529 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: awkward conversations between him, my dad, and my mom as 530 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: they didn't realize anything was wrong. I didn't say anything 531 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: to anyone because I didn't want to ruin the mood 532 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: or cut the trip short. But when we got back 533 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: home I tried talking to him about it. He said 534 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: that he was just shocked he got invited to something 535 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: like this and that his parents also thought it was weird. 536 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: I just kind of stared at him for a second 537 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: because I literally didn't understand what was so weird about it. 538 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: I said, if he didn't want to go or felt 539 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: uncomfortable with going, he didn't have to, and he just 540 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: kind of shrugged. I just asked him to leave my 541 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: house and we would talk later, because I was so 542 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: shocked and hurt that he and his family would call 543 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: me and my family weird all for inviting him on 544 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: a small trip with my family. I'm super close with 545 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: his family and it's not like he doesn't know any 546 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: of mine. Is it really weird to invite my boyfriend 547 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: of two and a half years to a small vacation 548 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: and there are some comments and an update, No, it's 549 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: not weird. Yeah, your boyfriend and his family are weird 550 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: for making it's such a big deal, right, And then 551 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: I feel like what will happen with that is like 552 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: you're making it awkward by saying some rude things about 553 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: you not wanting to be there, and then I feel 554 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: like he's probably just going to complain after words, feeling like, yeah, 555 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: it was so awkward. Yeah, like I shouldn't have been there, 556 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: when it's like, dude, you were absolutely contributing to that 557 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: Winter Travel fifty seven forty nine says, your boyfriend and 558 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: his family sound weird, period, your family sound fun, inclusive 559 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: and thoughtful. There you go, Ticky Bird says exactly. We 560 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: invited our daughter's boyfriend on a family reunion trip with 561 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: my immediate side of the family. They were twenty three 562 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: and we all had a great time, all kinds of pieces. 563 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Says yes. When my first husband and I were dating, 564 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: he passed away after eight years are being married. I 565 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: went on every his family took beach trips ten hours away, 566 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: et cetera. I went with his mom and him, I 567 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: went with his sister and brother in law, et cetera. 568 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: We were madly in love and everybody knew we'd be married. 569 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: There was no keeping us apart from the minute we met. 570 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: Where one of us was, the other was there. His 571 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: family was my family and mine was his. I think 572 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: the boyfriend and his family are strange here. I don't 573 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: see the problem. And if boyfriend thought it was weird, 574 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: why did he go? 575 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: There? 576 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: You go? How are you gonna go and just make 577 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: people feel bad. Yeah, and there is another update. Hi all, 578 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of cliche to say that 579 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: I didn't really expect for this to get as much 580 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: attention as it did. I appreciate everyone taking the time 581 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: to respond to me and let me know that I am, 582 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: in fact, not crazy about this. For the update, I'm 583 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: going to try to answer as many questions as possible. 584 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: I have not fully gotten to sit down and talk 585 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: with my boyfriend yet. We spoke briefly later last night 586 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: after I had made my post about how he severely 587 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: hurt my feelings with what he had said. He apologized, 588 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: but it honestly just felt forced. We haven't spoken any 589 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: more about it yet. For some questions, what culture are 590 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: we from, we do not have any kind of ethnic background, 591 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: and neither of our families are religious at all. We've 592 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: spent the night at each other's houses, and to my knowledge, 593 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't opposed to that at all. For those of 594 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: you asking if he was uncomfortable about the low cost vacation, 595 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I have no idea. His family doesn't often take vacations, 596 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: but not because they can't afford it. I just don't 597 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: think they want to. For those of you asking about 598 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: our communication skills. This has been an outstanding problem for 599 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: the majority of our relationship. I try explaining to him 600 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: that we can solve problems sooner if he's open and honest, 601 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: but sometimes he just doesn't speak his mind before it's 602 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: too late. And last, he is very close with his family, 603 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: but he was always very worried that my family didn't 604 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: like him. It truly just felt like a slap of 605 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: the face when he didn't want to be there as 606 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: I feel like this is a surefireway to say we 607 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: like you from my family. For those wondering, I do 608 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: want to save this relationship if possible. I love my 609 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: boyfriend and we've been through a lot together and I 610 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: don't want to let go of him. And before this mess, 611 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: everything was fine. I just don't know what happened here. 612 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: I'll give another update whenever me and him actually sit 613 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: down and talk, but I figured i'd answer some questions 614 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: while I'm here. Once again, thank you everyone, And there 615 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: are some comments and another updates, but any thoughts. 616 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: I just think he's really lame. I think so, I mean, 617 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 3: especially like with the like shrugging. 618 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, I know, it's like people did that. 619 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like, like, you're rude first of all, 620 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: but like, besides that, you're just a boring dude. 621 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: Why would his life being boring? Like, yes, guy, you know, 622 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: come on comments Pj's or Comfy says, this may seem 623 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: an odd question, but does he call you his girlfriend 624 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: and introduce you that way to others? Have you discussed 625 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: what your relationship looks like down the road and next steps? 626 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: His response is so odd. I'm just wondering if it's 627 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: possible you two are viewing their relationship differently. And there 628 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: is another update a day later. Hey everyone, I just 629 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: got done talking with my boyfriend and I have a 630 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: lot to say. This will most likely be my last 631 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: update unless something huge happens, mostly because I've already come 632 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: to the conclusion that this has completely opened my eyes 633 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: to start. I've seen many comments addressing a post I 634 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: made a year ago. I'm not going to go too 635 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: far into it, as that post was a lot more 636 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: dramatic and quite frankly embarrassing to me. But yes, it 637 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: was about the same boyfriend, and it was about the 638 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: same communication error. I'll admit that I have attachment issues, 639 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 1: which doesn't help my situation. While I'm close with my family, 640 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't really talk to them about relationship issues because 641 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: they usually don't take it very seriously. This is just 642 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,479 Speaker 1: their way of lightening the mood. I guess. Other than 643 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: my family, I don't have a very good support system, 644 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to my relationships. For those who 645 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: told me to have a little more self respect, thank 646 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: you for that, but also be kind. You never know 647 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: what people are going through. Quite frankly, I don't have 648 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: a lot of self respect, but for my own issues, 649 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: which I'm not going to talk about anymore. For the update, 650 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: I spoke to my boyfriend and it went anything other 651 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: than good. Oh no, that's not that's not positive. I 652 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: told them once again that it hurt my feelings with 653 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: what he had said during the trip and to my brother, 654 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: and he said, dudish, you know, as serious as I 655 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: think it is. He also said that I was dragging 656 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: this out when I didn't need to, which really was 657 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: an eye opener considering we didn't talk about it for 658 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: more than maybe thirty minutes last night and five minutes 659 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: the day we got home. I don't think I'm dragging 660 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: it out, but okay. I told him that he made 661 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: me feel small. He said he was just shocked that 662 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: he would get invited to something like that and felt 663 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: like a part of the family. That isn't that's not 664 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: what he said now he switched it up. I asked 665 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: him why he said he didn't want to be there, 666 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: and why he asked my siblings questions like that if 667 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: he was feeling happy and a part of the family, 668 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: and he just said he effed up and said dumb crap. 669 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: Then apologize right and say, oh my god, I'm sorry. 670 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: I didn't expect it. But then I realized that I 671 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: actually was having a lot of fun. I shouldn't have 672 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: said that. Don't just be like us. He also told 673 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: me that he's not worried about it and hopes I 674 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: get over it soon, which I will, but not with 675 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: him by my side. There you go, let drop him. 676 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people told me that coming on to 677 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: Reddit was a bad idea, simply because all people would 678 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: tell me that I need to leave him and I 679 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: should have just communicate with him. However, I feel like 680 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: if I had just had this conversation without the hundreds 681 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: of people telling me I wasn't crazy or reading the 682 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: situation wrong, I wouldn't have decided to end thing. I'm 683 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: grateful to all of you who took the time to post, 684 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: and you're welcome to call me dumb for not nipping 685 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: this in the bud when I first knew I was unhappy. 686 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: It's now my time to start healing and moving on 687 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: because five hundred strangers on the internet told me I 688 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: deserve better, so I'm gonna listen this time. Comments New 689 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: Mom nineteen eighty nine says, a piece of advice to 690 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: everyone out there in the ether. Someone who casually disregards 691 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: your feelings and blows you off when you try to 692 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: bring up something important to you, even if they don't 693 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: think it's a big deal, is not a good partner. 694 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you need a break up with this 695 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: person immediately, but you should understand that they are a 696 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: bad partner who cares minimally about you, and proceed accordingly. 697 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: The sugar Plum Fairy says, he also told me that 698 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: he's not worried about it and hopes I get it 699 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: over it soon. That's how you know a little he 700 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: cares about your feelings. What a weird guy, hope, he says. Oh, 701 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: and I don't know how I forgot to add this 702 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: in the update. But one of the shining quotes after 703 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: or he told me I'm dragging this out was you're 704 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: acting like I fed your mom or something. And when 705 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: is Leeb says what a keeper sarcasm. Yeah, glad you 706 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: tried talking it out with him so that you know 707 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: it isn't your fault. It's just him being a weirdo 708 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: and you can let go of him without any guilt. 709 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: You tried to talk about it and save the relationship. 710 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: It's always good to know. If it won't work out asaps, 711 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: who can move on with your life. And there's another update, 712 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: and I hope it's like boy, he left forever and 713 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: then I've found the man of my dream. Yes, and 714 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 1: also I became the president or the CEO of a 715 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: huge company. Yeah, now I'm rich. Yeah. 716 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 3: I think you cracked it, and thank you. You just 717 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 3: guessed it. Let's find out. 718 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: Another tiny update fifteen hours later. Hi, all, I know 719 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: I said my last post would be my last update 720 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: unless something big happens, but I feel like after reading 721 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: and responding to the comments, I found myself becoming bitter 722 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: and emotional over the situation. This is more just a 723 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: true off my chest sort of deal. When I look 724 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: at your comments, my heart aches with how stupid I 725 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: was for spending over two years with someone who didn't 726 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: value me, and now I'm struggling with the fact that 727 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: I actually miss him, or at least I miss who 728 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: I thought he was. I will not go back, but 729 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: I just can't help feel like I could have saved 730 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: it if I tried more. I know that's ignorant and naive, 731 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: but the breakup just happened yesterday, and now I'm feeling 732 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: the aftermath. I'm not sure why these feelings are coming 733 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: to me now, as I'm not sure that I'm really 734 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: much lonelier outside of the relationship than I was inside 735 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: of it. I just wish I had more things or 736 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: more people to surround myself with. I've thought about starting 737 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: to go to the gym to hopefully meet new people 738 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: and get myself into a schedule to fill up the time, 739 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: maybe go experience some shopping therapy. I feel like it's 740 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: just going to be a couple of weeks of pampering 741 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: myself before I feel okay enough to move on with 742 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: my life. It's going to take a minute. Yeah, they 743 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: always do. I feel like everybody needs at least a 744 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: week to be disappointed and upset about how their life 745 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: is going. Right now, you do take that week to 746 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: just sob and then and then wele Bad's back. Yeah exactly. Anyway, 747 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: thanks for listening to my rant. This is seriously my 748 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: last post and I'm going to start focusing on myself 749 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: now rather than living in this disgusting situation. Thanks again. 750 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: We would love if you could start focusing on us 751 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: by joining us live every weekday at three PMPSD on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, 752 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: and Twitch. Just top a profile, top a profile, probably 753 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: live right now, and there is a little bit more. 754 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: But any final thoughts, I. 755 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 3: Just think like, you know, you go girl, Oh, you 756 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 3: don't need no man. 757 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: You an independent woman. You're a strong independent lady, you 758 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, And also to the point 759 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: of like, oh, maybe I could have done something to 760 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: save it. If there was a way to save the relationship, 761 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: it would have happened. Yeah. 762 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 3: That was the best advice I've gotten in the past, 763 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 3: is like, you know, if it would have worked out, 764 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 3: it would have worked out. 765 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: It worked out. Ps For those wondering how my boyfriend 766 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: responded to the breakup, I actually thought he would last 767 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: two days without trying to guilt trip me with pictures 768 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: and memories of us. But just five minutes ago he 769 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: called me and tried to get me to realize my mistake. 770 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Hopefully he gets over it soon because 771 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: he's kind of dragging it out. And to those who 772 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: are going to tell me to block him, I still 773 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of his things and need to return 774 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: them first. After I'll block it. That is the end 775 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: of that story, all right, Lovely, I'm so happy that 776 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: Op broke up with that man. 777 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 3: Yes, I love all these stories of people standing up 778 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 3: for themselves, not for themselves. 779 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: I let people walk over you. Yeah, but that is 780 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: the end of that story and the end of this episode. 781 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: What yeah crazy?

She decided she 793 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: wanted to use my mother's maiden name Rafferty as her 794 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: daughter's name, not a traged day itself, and I guess 795 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: it works out as a unique name. By the way, 796 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: this comes from Cooler Beans nineteen eighty one on the 797 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: Okay Storytime Separate It. So yesterday I text my sister 798 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: that I need to get the custom items with my 799 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: niece's name ordered a SAP so they are in time 800 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: for the shower. My sister then let me know they're 801 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: going with an alternative spelling of Rafferty. I texted back 802 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: an alternative spelling of our mother's maiden name. My sister 803 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: wants to spell it ray Farty no ae no aart 804 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: y ray Farty, So I sent back a bunch of 805 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: laughing emojis, and she asked, what's so funny. I tried 806 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: to explain that no one will pronounce that as Rafferty, 807 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: and she'll probably get plenty of the same mispronunciations. She 808 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: told me I was being ridiculous. I texted back, my 809 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 1: poor niece, little miss Farty ray I was uninvited the shower, 810 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: and my mom told me today my sister doesn't want 811 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: me as the godmother anymore. But like, ray Farty is 812 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: really bad, isn't it. Someone needs to tell her right. 813 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if updates are allowed here, but here 814 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: it is. And sorry it's long, and I've been having 815 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 1: a hard time submitting it. Is there a character limits? 816 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: I'll try posting some and put the rest in the comments. 817 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: So we had an intervention on ray Farty. I know 818 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: everyone said to send a link to the original post 819 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: to my sister to show her that one hundred and 820 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: three percent of the global population would call her daughter 821 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: ray Farty, and that would be the easiest thing to do. 822 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: But some commoners said some pretty gnarly things about my 823 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: sister that she doesn't need to read and feel worse 824 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: about herself that I wanted to address a few things 825 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: that came up. First, for those saying I shouldn't bother 826 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: paying for the baby shower anymore, I had no plans 827 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: to not continue to pay and help out disagreements and 828 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: fighting aside. I love my sister and want her to 829 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: go into motherhood filled with love and support, regardless of 830 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: whether she wants my support or attendance at the event. Second, 831 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: my sister's husband was made aware of the spelling change 832 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: of ray Farty about a month before my original post. 833 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: He said he didn't think much of it until he 834 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: saw it written down and immediately saw it as ray 835 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: farty too. He said her emotions had been getting worse 836 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: throughout the pregnancy and he didn't know how to approach 837 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: her about going back to the original spelling. Zekiels said 838 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: that kid will be called gay party one day one 839 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: of school. 840 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 2: Dang, that's so true. 841 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: Dang. He had hoped that once she gave birth, all 842 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: the hormones would somehow leave her body, she'd come to 843 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: her senses and it would be a non issue. 844 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 3: Dude. 845 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: Third, a lot of you were lumping my mom and 846 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: with my sister and said some pretty horrible things about 847 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: her too. All my mom, I knew was from my 848 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: sister calling her to complain that I laughed at her 849 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: for slightly changing the spelling. My mom just assumed it 850 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: was a minor change, like raffertee until I told her 851 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: to grab a pen and paper and I'd spell it 852 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: out for her. Once she saw it was ray FARTI 853 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: she was team save this child. Everyone's on board. Now 854 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: we're all goat the rest of the saga is in 855 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: the commons now. For those of you who told me 856 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: I didn't have any tact and my reaction was mean. 857 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: My reaction was because one people will call the poor 858 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: girl ray FARTI her entire life for the sake of 859 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: my sister being quirky. Two pregnancy brain aside. Surely my 860 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: sister would realize her child will be called ray farty 861 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: once it's pointed out, have a laugh, change her mind, 862 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: and this will end up being a funny story to 863 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: tell out her daughter's future wedding or something. M three. 864 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: My sister is a bit of a joker, so I 865 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: also initially thought she was just pulling a prank or joking. 866 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: But if she was joking, she took the joke really, 867 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: really far. She spent four hundred dollars on a mural 868 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: painted on one wall in the nursery. She wanted to 869 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: debut the Finnish nursery to everyone at the baby shower, 870 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: including her husband who was forbidden to see it beforehand, 871 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: that had a ray Farty incorporated into it that now 872 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: needed to be repainted. She also bought herself a birthing gift. 873 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: Is this even a thing? She'd have? My brother in 874 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: law present to her in front of everyone at the hospital, 875 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: a nine hundred dollars gold bracelet with Ray Farty charms. 876 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: The baby book also had ray Farty embroidered on the cover. 877 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 2: Now, why is she going so hard on the paint 878 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 2: about bar? 879 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: I contacted my sister's best friend, Katie not a real name, 880 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: if my sister has told her anything about the spelling change. 881 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: She found out about Ray Farty about after the blow 882 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: up with my sister, As my sister wanted to get 883 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: Katie on her side. Katie, who's a teacher, was equally 884 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: horrified about the spelling and told me this is the 885 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: worst attempt at a creative name she's ever seen. The 886 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: intervention of sorts the Farty Party, if you will, included me, 887 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 1: my sister, her husband, his mother and father, my mother, 888 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: and Katie. My sister refused to believe anyone could possibly 889 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: see Ray Farty as Ray Farty, and that we were 890 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: just mad that she was taking creative license and that 891 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: everyone does that nowadays. My sister said children are not 892 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: that cruel to bully her daughter for her name, and Katie, 893 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: she said, plenty of kids are cruol enough, and the 894 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: others would join in so they're not singled out themselves. 895 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: My sister countered that as long as all the adults 896 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: are pronouncing it correctly, that it'll be no problem, and 897 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: Katie told her that not only would the adults not 898 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: know how to pronounce it to begin with, but that 899 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: as long as fart is in the name, kids will 900 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,959 Speaker 1: latch right onto it. I was happy Katie was there 901 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: because she shared interesting names her students have had over 902 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: the past few years, so I knew her opinion on 903 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: this would probably be the only one to swear. My 904 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: sister cried for about ten minutes and finally agreed to 905 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,439 Speaker 1: entirely change the name because even Rafferty was tainted because 906 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: we had all ruined it for her. Oh boy, she 907 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: is drama queen. 908 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 2: She's so spoiled, like the amount in gifts alone. Yeah, 909 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 2: that shows you what kind of person she is, and. 910 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: Allow it on those. We told her to take her 911 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: time to consider a new name. She told us she 912 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,479 Speaker 1: still wanted to honor my mother, and she suggested she'd 913 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: combine my mother's first name with her mother in law's 914 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: name and create a name on the spot that included 915 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: a crass term for a lesbian. What how does she 916 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: do this two for two girl? 917 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 2: This is crazy. Why are we doing this? 918 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: What? Stop? Stop? 919 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 2: The baby's not born. We have a sign any birth certificates. Stop? 920 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: How did she do this? When my mother pointed that out, 921 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: she started crying again and accused us of not letting 922 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: her be a mom, and her husband suggested to be 923 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: leaving for now and we should all go and give 924 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: her space. It's been radio silence until my sister texted 925 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: me a couple of hours ago that she and her 926 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: husband landed on Theodora, absolutely in love with that. Sure 927 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: that jose Vima deliver QUI says, did she name her Deeseler? 928 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: That's what I was on right. She even decided my 929 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: unborn niece looks like a Theodora in the ultrasound. She 930 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: got those creepy three D ones done where every baby 931 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: looks like the same copper potato. I replied that that 932 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: was lovely, and I'm so happy she's happy. It's not 933 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: my daste.

We got engaged pretty quick within that year, 988 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 2: but we had extremely deep conversations where we see ourselves 989 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 2: in the next five to ten years, and everything we 990 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 2: discussed match perfectly to what we both wanted, and we 991 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,919 Speaker 2: both were like, heck, we aren't getting any younger, let's 992 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,280 Speaker 2: go for it. By the way, this comes from Objective 993 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 2: Soup eighty eight fifty five in the r slash Storytime 994 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 2: subret I have had my share of bad relationships and 995 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 2: my last before my fiance left me in a depressed state. 996 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 2: I had a miscarriage with them, as well as a 997 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 2: developed eating disorder because I was never good enough for them. 998 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: After me and that person went our separate ways, I 999 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 2: was single for four years. During those years, me and 1000 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 2: my sister became very close. Almost every weekend I spent 1001 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 2: with her and her fiance. Her fiance will become a 1002 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 2: very important part of the story later. But once I 1003 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: met my significant other, I became a little distant, and 1004 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 2: it wasn't on purpose, but it was because of how 1005 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 2: her fiance and how he treated my fiance at the time. 1006 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 2: My sister's fiance, though you will ever admit it, always 1007 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 2: gave me a vibe and I only ever dated black men. 1008 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 2: So when he first met my fiance, he said a quote, 1009 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 2: you know you look like a thug. 1010 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: Oh my god, just right off the bat, always like 1011 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: I think you kind of gave me vibes. 1012 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 2: And then he says something because of all of his tattoos. 1013 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 2: But the crazy thing is I have more tattoos than 1014 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 2: he does. The second thing to happen is in the 1015 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 2: area we live in, people on all kinds of coca 1016 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 2: colas can be common. Apparently, after one of our visits 1017 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 2: at their place, as we left, they went outside and 1018 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 2: found a pill on the sidewalk in front of their 1019 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 2: house and automatically assumed it was my fiance because sometimes 1020 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 2: he would make random sounds, so they thought he was 1021 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 2: on coca colas. My fiance, by the way, has tourettes. 1022 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 2: So the next time we visited their pace, my sister 1023 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 2: confronted mine and asked if he was on yeah your family, Nah, dude, 1024 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 2: he just has touretts. Yeah, I mean presumably you've talked 1025 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: about that before. I feel like that would have come 1026 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 2: up and they're like, oh, he must be on substances. 1027 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: Yikes, this is keep getting keeps any worse, This. 1028 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 2: Keeps getting worse. Of course he wasn't and told him this, 1029 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 2: and then he had to explain that he has thurats. 1030 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 2: And during both of these instances, neither of them apologize. Regardless, 1031 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 2: my fiance was feeling a certain way with them, and 1032 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: I didn't blame him at all for how he was feeling. 1033 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 2: But what was now on the coffin was I had 1034 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 2: a close friend who was going through a hard time. 1035 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 2: She was going through a divorce and just needed time 1036 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 2: out with friends. To make a long story short, when 1037 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,479 Speaker 2: this friend of mine is going through a tough time, 1038 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 2: she often seeks spicy sleep for comfort. No judgment, but 1039 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 2: she tried to have a party of three with me 1040 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 2: and my fiance, which we politely decline and put her 1041 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 2: to bed. Now you may be wondering where my sister 1042 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 2: and her fiance come into factor here. Well, my sister 1043 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 2: also knew this friend of mine, and when we were 1044 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 2: visiting at their house, she asked me how they were doing, 1045 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 2: knowing everything they were going through. I told my sister 1046 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 2: it's been rough for them, but they were doing all right, 1047 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 2: and I mentioned the party of three and me and 1048 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 2: my sister laughed it off. But then her fiance joined 1049 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 2: in and looked directly at my significant other and said, quote, 1050 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,399 Speaker 2: you are telling me you had a chance to have 1051 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 2: the spicy tango with two beautiful women and you didn't. 1052 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: I would have, yeah, in front of your wife. 1053 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 2: If the sister doesn't check in in one way with 1054 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 2: remarks are like this, she sucks. My fiance became mortified 1055 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: by this comment, replied, yeah, I wouldn't have spicy tango 1056 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 2: with my fiance's best friend. It take advantage of her 1057 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 2: in a very emotional, vulnerable state. But for the rest 1058 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 2: of the night, my sister's fiance kept going off on 1059 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 2: how hot my friend was. Now he would have jumped 1060 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 2: on that opportunity. My sister, not even looking at us anymore, 1061 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 2: had nothing to say. That was the tip of the 1062 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 2: iceberg for us. And if you asked my sister, she 1063 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 2: will say that it never happened. 1064 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 1: She's just ignoring the problem. She's just denying it because 1065 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 1: she's like, I don't know how to leave this relationship. 1066 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: But this guy is terrible, what the heck terrible, and 1067 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,800 Speaker 1: she's not doing anything about. 1068 00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 2: Us guys ough oh wow wi uh. Their fiance never 1069 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 2: said that. But the point of all of this is 1070 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 2: I noticed me and my sister were growing distant, so 1071 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 2: I tried to have a conversation about it with her, 1072 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 2: and when we talked, she would told me bluntly she 1073 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 2: didn't trust my fiance and she thought our whole engagement was. 1074 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: She's projecting for sure. 1075 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,399 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't know how much of this 1076 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 2: was her true opinion for the pinion and of her fiance, 1077 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 2: but since then she has become more and more distant 1078 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 2: from me and won't even talk to me at family gatherings. 1079 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: Well, the problem here is that so Opie's brother in 1080 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: law is attracted to Opi, and it's probably saying, oh, 1081 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: I hate her fiance because he's one a jealous You 1082 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 1: could have had. 1083 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 2: Spicy tango with her and a friend. Yeah, you're crazy. 1084 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's jealous of this relationship. And the sister is 1085 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: putting all of this on Opee and making it all 1086 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: her faults.

Right now, she is not 1098 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: supporting your relationship, and she is actively kind of going 1099 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: along with what her husband is saying. 1100 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 2: So just Sophia Cologne. But OPI has only dated black Eyes, 1101 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 2: So why is her sister having an issue? 1102 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,839 Speaker 1: Now? I think it's just the husband. I think it's 1103 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: just she just goes with whatever her husband says. 1104 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,720 Speaker 2: I think a fiance, Oh fiance, Yeah, please don't marry 1105 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 2: this man. 1106 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: Don't marry him? 1107 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 2: Really weird. I haven't even asked her to be a 1108 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 2: bridesman yet, but my mother has told me that if 1109 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,840 Speaker 2: I don't make her one, it will cause an even 1110 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 2: bigger divide in our relationship. Her energy that she has 1111 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 2: given to my whole engagement is not something I want 1112 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 2: my wedding. She has not once supported my happiness that 1113 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 2: I have with the man that I want to marry, 1114 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 2: and I want to be very real that this man 1115 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,439 Speaker 2: has saved me from a very dark time in my life. 1116 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 2: There were so many things that they don't see that 1117 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 2: he has done for me. My sister got married this 1118 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,359 Speaker 2: year back in October, and even though I didn't one 1119 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 2: like her fiance, I supported their relationship and was there 1120 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 2: for her because I knew he made her happy and 1121 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 2: that is all I wanted from her. But now it 1122 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 2: feels like she doesn't want the same for me.

I think 1127 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: he sucks and I think he's driving your sister down. 1128 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, Op. He only supported her because his sister 1129 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 2: likes him, doesn't like him as a guy, yeah, but 1130 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 2: like him yeah, but still like you don't need to 1131 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,400 Speaker 2: do that, No, no, sir, til dr. So Opi has 1132 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,280 Speaker 2: been single for a long time, has been through relationship, 1133 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 2: through relationship, and through that has been really close with 1134 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,959 Speaker 2: her sister and her sister's fiance. Recently, she has met 1135 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 2: a guy. Will say black guy. This comes into context later. 1136 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 2: The guy has helped her through some hard times. Opie 1137 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 2: is doing great, living her best life, and they found out, 1138 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 2: you know, I like how you want your life to be. 1139 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 2: I like how I like my life to be.

Fiance says something like that. 1143 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 2: So this is one red flag that we have from 1144 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 2: the sister's fiance. Another red flag is that Opi and 1145 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 2: her fiance had a friend proposition them, proposition them to 1146 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 2: have a tango of three, and they decline, saying, you're 1147 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 2: in vulnerable steak. We don't want that either, and we're 1148 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 2: gonna say no.

So we have been 1173 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with gratitude for the amount of love and support 1174 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: we have received from our loved ones, family and friends alike. 1175 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,720 Speaker 1: I have no energy to feel angry because it would 1176 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: not make me feel better. I'm not going to have 1177 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: my son back. I've worked so hard on my mental health. 1178 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: I cannot allow myself to fall back into those dark places. 1179 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: I feel that writing and talking about my story and 1180 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 1: grief with myself. My husband went through something similar and 1181 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: is trying to support her sister the best way that 1182 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 1: she can and the best way she knows how My 1183 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: sister did. Didn't visit me at the hospital. It was 1184 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: all sudden. No one saw this coming, so I gave 1185 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: her the benefit of the doubt. She had her kids 1186 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,760 Speaker 1: to look after and couldn't make it to the hospital. 1187 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: My mom told me that the reason she couldn't go 1188 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,839 Speaker 1: visit me was because it brought back memories of her 1189 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 1: miscarriage and she couldn't handle it. Seems like Ohpe's sister 1190 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 1: had a miscarriage twelve years ago and Ope was really 1191 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 1: there for her, but is not receiving that when she 1192 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: just had her miscarriage and she's in this hospital. I understand. Wow. 1193 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, josephem into all brick Crisols said, No, sister 1194 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 1: lost hers first long before Opeed did. Yes, I understand now. 1195 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 1: She had her kids to look after and couldn't make 1196 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: it to the hospital. My mom told me that the 1197 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: reason she couldn't go visit me was because it brought 1198 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: back memories of her miscarriage and she couldn't handle it. 1199 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: I will admit that it hurt me a little bit 1200 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,359 Speaker 1: because I would not hesitate to be there for her 1201 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: if she needed me. My mom then said, I told 1202 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: her sister that she has a lot of work to 1203 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 1: do to confront her fears. The last thing that I 1204 00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: want is to make my sister feel like I've forgotten 1205 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 1: about her baby and her story. It will never be forgotten. 1206 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 1: I still think about her baby because my sister keeps 1207 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: her memory alive. It's been twelve years and we still remember. 1208 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: I was going through postpartum and I started to lac date. 1209 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 1: I felt the pressure, tenderness, and soreness on top of 1210 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: the pain of the reality that my baby is gone. 1211 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: When I told my sister, she asked, have you started pumping? 1212 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 1: I responded no, and she said, oh, when I lost 1213 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 1: my baby, I started pumping and I gave my milk 1214 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: to my mom's friend for her newborn. I then said, 1215 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 1: there isn't a newborn for me to give the milk to. 1216 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,919 Speaker 1: My sister pointed at her six to seven the month 1217 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: old baby. I then said, I'm sorry, Sis, I can't. 1218 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to because this milk was for my son, 1219 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: and without warning, I started crying. My sister hugged me 1220 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: and started talking to make me feel better, but some 1221 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: of the things she said left me feeling weird. She 1222 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,719 Speaker 1: said things like, I know it happened to me too, 1223 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 1: but you have your husband and I didn't. My ex 1224 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: didn't support me. Imagine how I felt. I know I 1225 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't have stayed with him after the way you treated me, 1226 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: but I guess I'm dumb for that. At least you 1227 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 1: have your husband. I was alone. No one was there 1228 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: for me, and you have so many people who love you. 1229 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 1: Imagine how I felt when I lost my baby. I 1230 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: don't want you to experience this because it's a terrible feeling. 1231 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 1: Imagine how I felt knowing that you're now going through this. 1232 00:53:55,560 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 2: Ooh, dude, you such a very very sensitive thing going 1233 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 2: through that. You need to figure out what the professional 1234 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 2: and not your sister who is currently dealing with this. 1235 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, why are you like making this all about you? 1236 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,359 Speaker 2: I think she's working through emotions here, but she just 1237 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 2: needs to go. 1238 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to go to therapy because if this 1239 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,399 Speaker 1: is how you're reacting on your bolter, like obviously you're 1240 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: never going to you know fully get over the pain 1241 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: of losing a child. But it's been twelve years and 1242 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 1: you're still putting this on, like this guilt tripping on 1243 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 1: your sister who's just experiencing this. That's horrible. 1244 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 2: Our roommate, Christian, we were driving and someone caught him 1245 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,399 Speaker 2: off and he said, if I was president, I would 1246 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,399 Speaker 2: have a thing that people press a button and they 1247 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 2: automatically revoke their license. We should have a certain amount 1248 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 2: of times, after a certain amount of times, they should 1249 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 2: have that for therapy, Like after certainly you. 1250 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 1: Heard a certain amount of people, you have to go 1251 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: to therapy. You have to automatically be put it's court mandated. 1252 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: The you're like, you know what you hurt me? 1253 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 2: You said X y Z. You're gonna have to figure 1254 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 2: that out. 1255 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, therapy, I had no energy or any idea how 1256 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: to respond. She said so much and it was overwhelming. 1257 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 1: All I thought about was I lost my son and 1258 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 1: I miss him and this hurts. I haven't been able 1259 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 1: to tell my sister about how it makes me feel, 1260 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: because you have to be very careful when you address 1261 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 1: things to her. She can be really sensitive and take 1262 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: it the wrong way. When my mother in law came 1263 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 1: over to help clean, my sister came over with her 1264 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,400 Speaker 1: kids and she started talking about her miscarriage story with 1265 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,720 Speaker 1: my mother in law. Then it was about her failed marriage. 1266 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: I stayed quiet, but could overhear my mother in law 1267 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: tell my sister that she shouldn't talk badly about her 1268 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: kid's father in front of her kids, and that she 1269 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: needs to be positive things I have told her many times, 1270 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: My parents have told her, her friends have told her. 1271 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: The thing is, I hate to think this way, but 1272 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 1: my sister likes the attention she's been receiving from others 1273 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 1: since the separation from her ex husband, and now that 1274 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm experiencing such a great loss, my sister keeps bringing 1275 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,439 Speaker 1: up her miscarriage as if it happened today. My sister 1276 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,360 Speaker 1: told me that she's here to support me because she 1277 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: knows what it's like, but I don't feel like I 1278 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: can reach out to her. I'm scared she's going to 1279 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,399 Speaker 1: just talk about her miscarriage and her problems and leave 1280 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 1: no room for me to breathe or feel like I 1281 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 1: have a safe space to talk about myself. By the way, 1282 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 1: you can join us live on YouTube and Facebook and 1283 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,719 Speaker 1: TikTok every week to have three pmpst. Just tap her 1284 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: profile and there is a little bit more to the story. 1285 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: But you definitely your sister needs to go to therapy 1286 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 1: because this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. This is not 1287 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: how you comfort people. I think there is a way 1288 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: when you're comforting people to say, like, you know what 1289 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 1: I've been through this, I know how you feel, and 1290 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,839 Speaker 1: you know it's going to get better or it's going 1291 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,399 Speaker 1: to take time, it's going to hurt a lot. 1292 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 2: I like to sit with friends when they're going through 1293 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 2: a hard time and just sit there. Yeah, I think, 1294 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 2: I think, I just like I think. Sometimes you just 1295 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 2: have to also ask people like do you want me 1296 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 2: to talk? Do you want advice? Do you want just 1297 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,360 Speaker 2: me to listen? Because people to need different things. Sometimes 1298 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 2: they just want a rant. Sometimes they just want to 1299 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 2: cry and have a shoulder to cry on, but this 1300 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 2: is not how you do it. 1301 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:42,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1302 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 2: Sorry, guys, this is a tough one. YEA. 1303 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: If anyone needs to go like please, you do not 1304 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,879 Speaker 1: have to be here. And I'm sorry for anyone who's 1305 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,479 Speaker 1: had experiences like this where you've lost a child, because 1306 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 1: that's really, really hard. I know my sister needs to 1307 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: talk to her therapist about this because I told her 1308 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: that she can cry with me when I talk about 1309 00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 1: my grief. But if she's going to talk about her miscarriage, 1310 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,239 Speaker 1: if it were a fresh wound like mine, then she 1311 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,400 Speaker 1: cannot support me.
