All right? Subject, 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: My man is bugging me, Dear Stephen Shirley. I have 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: a problem. I met a guy and I consider him 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: a good friend, and I want to get to know 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: him better. He has taken me on a few dates 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: and all went well at first. The problem arose after 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: one of our recent dates, after a really good date, 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 1: we decided we'd pick up some food and go back 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: to his house to chill and eat our food. Well, 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: when we got to his house with our food and 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: he turned the lights on, boom bam boom. Roaches went 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: flying from east to west. They were so now, they 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: were so bad they were even crawling on his dog. 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I told him, I told him politely that I was 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: not eating my food there. He sat there, eating his 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: food and looking at me like I was crazy. He 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: didn't see that there was a problem. When he dropped 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 1: me off at home, I immediately took my clothes off 20 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: and as soon as I walked in. I'm not saying 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: that I'm better than anyone else. I have dealt with 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: bugs in my home too, but clearly, this was an infestation. 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: This was not normal. This was the last time I 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: spent time at his house. Now he asked me why 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: I won't come over. I don't even want him over 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: at my place because he may bring bugs with him 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: and spread them to my house. When we go out 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: together in public, it makes me think he's not clean 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: and his car is not clean because of how he 30 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: keeps his house. I don't want to lose a good man, 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: but I just can't deal with the bugs. What should 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: I do? Please help me? Oh my god, I couldn't 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: do this. I'm just gonna tell you right now. I 34 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: could not, and I don't know how you can. I 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: mean the fact that he's not embarrassed about it, and 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: that he brought you over his house and there musk skin. 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: It shouldn't right now, just thinking about it, he brought 38 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: you over there and he didn't see anything wrong with it. 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: He was looking at you like you were crazy. I 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: don't get it, and eating food there, No, ma'am, no, ma'am, no, ma'am. 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: It's not a situation where you're better than he is. 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: Your way cleaner than he is, for sure, and clean 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: that you know. That's one of the primary principles of 44 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: dating someone. They have to be clean for having's sakes. 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, I wouldn't let him over my house because 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: he might bring bugs over there. I'm sorry. I don't know. 47 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: I just couldn't. I couldn't do it. Personally, I couldn't 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know how good of a guy 49 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: he is. I just don't know. For him not to 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: notice this, I have a problem with this, and I 51 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: think you should too.
