Speaker 1: Thank you, junior. Subject he came home with bed bugs.

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm in my late thirties and I'm

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: married to an older man. We dated for a short

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: period of time and he moved in with me before

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: we got married four months ago. My husband is in

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: me and my home is in a cozy, close knit community,

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: and one of my neighbors recognized my husband and couldn't

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: wait to come give me some gossip on him. She said,

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: my husband was messing around with her aunt a few

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: months before he met me, and she thinks he's been

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: seeing her again since we got married. She described her

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: aunt as a slut that sleeps around and keeps a

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: nasty house with cats and dogs. All over the place.

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 1: She said her aunt tried to sleep with her daddy,

25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: so nobody in the family deals with her anymore. I

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to ask my husband about the woman. He

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: says he knows of her, but that he's never slept

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: with her or been to her house. I was sure

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to tell my neighbor that my husband never fooled around

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: with her aunt. My neighbor jokingly said, if my husband

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: ever comes home with fleas, lice or bedbugs, he is

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: definitely still messing with her aunt. I didn't pay her

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: any mind until three weeks later, when I was lying

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: in the bed and my calves and feet started itching.

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: I threw back my sheet and saw tiny black dots

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: on the sheets, and it looked like all of them

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: were moving. I woke my husband up and accused him

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: of bringing bed bugs home. I checked his khakis and

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: they had a few bugs too. He said the bed

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: bugs could have come from anywhere. We got rid of

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: the bugs, but should I get rid of my husband too?

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: Do you think my messy neighbor was right about this?

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Please advise, Really you want advice from us, because you

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: already know the deal. Your husband is sleeping with the

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: nasty woman with the cats and dogs and all of that.

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: You're I mean, what now he's brought bed bugs home?

47
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: This is so disgusting. So let me ask you something.

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Are you gonna just wait for him to bring something

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: even worse home while he's sleeping with her, like a

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: rash or an infection or a disease or something, and

51
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: he's lying about it, saying he knows of her, but

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: he never slept with her. Yeah, right, So it looks

53
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: like your neighbor was correct about everything. I mean, she's

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: nosy and a gossip and all of that, but it

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: looks like she's got her fact straight because she's the

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: one who told you firsthand about the bed bug and

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: three weeks later he brought them home. So I mean,

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: you know, you can believe what you want to think

59
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: in your head, or you can believe what's what was

60
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: right before you and on you bedbugs on your Oh god,

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: all right, So believe her, all right, that's all. She's

62
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: not lying about this bed bugs. Come on, just thinking

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: about it.

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: Yes, Steve, I'm a little towing on this left.

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: You don't believe it?

66
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: Not really, It's a lot going on, but it's so

67
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: many different conflicting statements in this letter.

68
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: You in your late thirties, You married to this old dude.

69
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: Now he moved in before y'all got married four months ago.

70
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: Your home is in a cozy, close knit community. And

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: one of my neighbors recognized my husband and couldn't work

72
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: to give me some gossip on you.

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: If she said, your.

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: Husband was messing around with her aunt a few months

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: ago before we met, and she thinks he's still seeing

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: her since we got married.

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: How does she know this?

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: She clearly said that your husband was messing around with

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: this her aunt a few months before he met me,

80
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 3: and she thinks he's still seeing her again since we

81
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: got married. She thinks her why She described her aunt

82
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: as a slut that sleeps all over time, keep a

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: nasty house, catch dogs all over there. She said her

84
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: aunt tried to sleep with her daddy, so nobody in

85
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: her family deals with her anymore. Okay, couldn't wait to

86
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: ask my husband about the woman. Here's where the letter

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: took a turn. He said, he knows of her, but

88
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: he's never slept with her or been to her house.

89
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 3: What's the chances of your husband knowing of this woman

90
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 3: who just happens to be a slug who your messy

91
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: neighbor says.

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: She recognizes your hook. What's the chance of that?

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 3: I mean, it don't make no sense in this whole

94
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: world we live in, it doesn't make any sense.

95
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: So right, what your why do you say?

96
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,600

97
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out.

98
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying is what doesn't make sense is

99
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: how he says to you that he knows of this woman. Right,

100
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: he says he knows of her, but he's never slept

101
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: with her or been to her house. Of all the

102
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: women in the world, how does your husband even know

103
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,039

Speaker 2: how did you get accused of this?

149
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: And then you say I know of her? But that's

150
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: how stupid he is. He's gonna said, I have no
