Though? 12 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: Hi, twenty seven female have been with my boyfriend, twenty 13 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: six male for two years. Our families are very close. 14 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: Both of our moms get along and pretty much became 15 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: best friends once we started dating. I adore his mom 16 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: at fifty female two. We've had a genuine friendship since 17 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: her son and I got together. By the way, this 18 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: comes from odd throwaway posts and if you can submit 19 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: your own stories on the r slash okay, sorry time 20 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: subad it. By the way, I'm Angie and I'm Keon, 21 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: so Op says. Let me start by saying, my boyfriend 22 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: and his mom are pretty close and they have a 23 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: great relationship. But since we started dating, she seems to 24 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: be jealous of our relationship and she seemed to start 25 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: copying me my boyfriend bought me a beanie from our 26 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: favorite local company, and suddenly she needed the same beanie. 27 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: We went bikini shopping and she bought the exact same 28 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: bikini that I decided to buy. 29 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: That's weird, that's weird. 30 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: My boyfriend bought me a camping ice chest, so she 31 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: went out and bought the same exact one for herself. 32 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: So now she's looking to buy the exact same car 33 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: as me that I bought for myself six months ago. 34 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: And for reference, I bought a four x four off 35 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: roading suv with full towing capabilities because I go camping 36 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: and ride dirt bikes quite a bit. She does not 37 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: do any of that, nor have a single use for 38 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: any type of four four car. Aside from the copying, 39 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: she makes very weird inappropriate jokes. I said I wanted breakfast, 40 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: and she responds, don't she get enough sausage for my son? 41 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: AWAYO way? 42 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Wow, Oh my god, that is so crazy. I say 43 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm tired, and she says, maybe don't stay up so 44 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: late having spicy sleep. She has literally said that. 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: She's just a cool mom. 46 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: I guess she's just a cool mom. You're just keeping 47 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: her young. One time I made a comment about my 48 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: boyfriend having big hands, and she said, you know what 49 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: that means, right, Mama didn't raise no shrimpy yo. 50 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 2: Oh oh my god, it is happening. 51 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: What is this reverse editist complex? There's gotta be another 52 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: term for it. But what is going on? Dude? 53 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: So she does say this stuff in front of my boyfriend, 54 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: her son, and he'll snap and tell her that she's 55 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: being weird, but she only ever laughs it off. She 56 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: just doesn't take it seriously. I want the entire future 57 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: with my boyfriend, kids, house, land, all of it. So 58 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: cutting her off or giving my boyfriend that ultimatum doesn't 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: seem feasible. So is this an overreaction? Do I just 60 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: let the weirdness fizzle out and ignore it in the meantime? 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: And there isn't edit? But what do we think before 62 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: we get Heck? 63 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: No, you gotta put a stop to this if you 64 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: are uncapable, if you were like, there are people out 65 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 3: there who are like, Okay, I'm come with that. What 66 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: every comfortability is? 67 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: Sure? 68 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 3: Cool, cool with it, great, But if you are uncomfortable, op, 69 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: you got to draw a line before she crosses it. 70 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: She's already crossing it. I'm sorry. 71 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: I mean, like some parents you know, are very spicy, 72 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: sleep positive and about that stuff, and that's great, but 73 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: this is just not the way to do it. 74 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: If one her son is uncomfortable, your boyfriend you are uncomfortable. Yeah, 75 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: you got to stop it before she gets to a 76 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: more extreme scenario that you don't do, not want where 77 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: she's like walking around the house right right walking. 78 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 79 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: I don't want to get that mine. 80 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to imagine. 81 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: But these comments need to stop. They absolutely you are 82 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: not overreacting. 83 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Right, but we do have an edits so crap hit 84 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: the fan. She absolutely lost it when my boyfriend sat 85 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: down to have a conversation with her. But in the 86 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: end we did cut ties. 87 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: WHOA. 88 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: I made a full post explaining how that bad crap 89 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: crazy woman reacted. Thank you for all the responses and advice. Well, 90 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't what I ever wanted to hear. I apparently 91 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: needed to and so did my boyfriend. Oh my god, 92 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: that's crazy, because you know we're gonna get it. We are, 93 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: like we have to a fifth of the way through. 94 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: We hated to get the crazy because I mean, we 95 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: we already got the crazy. I want the crazier. 96 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm so excited, me too. We have some comments. Comment 97 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: number one says, as the mother of a son in 98 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: his twenties, she's unhinged and deeply inappropriate. He's likely been 99 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: dealing with this sameshment his whole life and is aware 100 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: that it's weird. I talk to him honestly and in 101 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: a non judgmental way about your concerns and see what 102 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: his thoughts are. Commentre number two says, this is emotional 103 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: genetic copy pasting. Oh my gosh. She sees her son 104 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: as a placeholder for a partner, and now that he 105 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: has a partner, she sees you as competition for his affection. 106 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: This behavior will only escalate with every further step that 107 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: you take in your relationship. Getting married, she will wear white. 108 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: Having a baby, she will insert herself as the mother 109 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: of your child. You need to talk to your boyfriend 110 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: about this and ask him to set boundaries. She needs therapy. 111 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, honestly, we have read a lot of stories 112 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: about things like those, so I could definitely see. 113 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: That mama's boy the end of his complex. I mean, 114 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: thankfully your boyfriend knows when to put a stop to it. 115 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: Right right. Commentar number three says, and not overreacting. Hopefully 116 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: he's receptive to your concerns and supports setting down some 117 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: real boundaries. Would be a shame to go into contact, 118 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: but I've read similar stories on here before and that's 119 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: unfortunately how it ended. Granted those were in context of 120 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: married couples, so the stakes were higher. You have the 121 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: opportunity to break things off without going through divorce if 122 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: it came to that. And yeah, just gotta talk to him, 123 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: see if he'll step up to mom and then go 124 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: from there. I wonder if she has always acted like 125 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: this with his girlfriends, or maybe it is ramped up 126 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: if you're his first committed relationship that scares her. Either way, totally, 127 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: it grows the behavior. Commentar number five says, as a 128 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: male in his mid twenties, this is weird as heck. 129 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: I'd be uncomfortable too, And you're not overreacting. At first, 130 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, maybe she's just trying to relate to 131 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: you by buying the same things. That part seemed innocent enough, 132 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, the rest is weird as heck. All so 133 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: prunco or for runner Well, Opie says, thank you, it's 134 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: reassuring hearing the POV from someone that's the same age. 135 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: My boyfriend didn't know how to process any of it, apparently, 136 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and this didn't feel like the type of thing that 137 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: I could open up to anyone in my real life about. 138 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: And I got a forerunner, which has become a big 139 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: part of my personality. But there is an update, and 140 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm really hoping this is going to be the fight. 141 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 3: We're probably getting it because it was an edit, so 142 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: we probably get the argument for the controversial you. 143 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: Know yeah reaction. 144 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: Yeah.

It made me nauseous 174 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: reading some of the comments and realizing it was a 175 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: form of emotional genetic copy pasting, which I had to research. 176 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: By the way, hated every second of it. Anyways, here's 177 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: an update from the drama that went down last month. 178 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I sat down with my boyfriend, had a really uncomfortable 179 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: talk about all of it, and he was equally horrified. 180 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it ever really hit him how completely 181 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: bananas and sick. The behavior was until everything was laid 182 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: out on the table back to back. He assured me 183 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: that he hasn't dealt with any deeper from his past, 184 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: and this seems to be a more recent behavior. I'm 185 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: his most serious relationship, so we're assuming it was some 186 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: sort of weird, sick jealousy. Like many of you said, 187 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: the real drama. He sat down with his mom without 188 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: me and told her how he felt that it was 189 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: inappropriate and that it needed to stop. Well, crap hit 190 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: the fan. After that, that woman completely snapped. She blew 191 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: up my phone with messages about how I will never 192 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: compete with her, what a whoa, and that I shouldn't 193 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: have felt so insecure, especially since we're considered each other's friends. 194 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: She is not the one that was competing with you, dude, 195 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: You are clearly the one. 196 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: This has to be some form of midlife crisis thing 197 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 3: in like, yeah, if there's no father in the picture, yeah, 198 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 3: which we don't know, no idea if there's no father 199 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: in the picture. And this was like her only support, 200 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: like family support was her son. This makes a lot 201 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: of sense that she's very territorial and like maybe she 202 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 3: was trying to say those comments to ward you off, right, 203 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: get you off, to get you off, like, oh, I'm 204 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: the mom, you know what, you can't have this? 205 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe ugh. She also said there was nothing 206 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: weird or spicy related about the comments that she's made, 207 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: and that we're all sensitive snowflakes. Eventually they got into 208 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: a screaming match. He told her we'd cut ties if 209 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: she continued acting like this. Both his siblings have cut 210 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: ties with her for years now. 211 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: That's aw, that's a big piece of information. 212 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is. She pretty much said, I dare you, 213 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: you'll deal with the consequences. So ties were cut. But 214 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: we have learned that she's been twisting the story quite 215 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: a bit to her friends and family, and they apparently 216 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: blame me, saying that I poisoned her in my boyfriend's mind. 217 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: I personally have no guilt for the situation. I think 218 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: cutting ties was the best outcome. But I do worry 219 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: about my boyfriend. His dad is still very much in 220 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: his life, but I worry about him not having his 221 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: mom even though she was talk But there is a 222 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: little bit more to the story. 223 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: But oh my gosh, that one piece of information, like, oh, 224 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 3: his siblings all cut her off. Who you wonder why. 225 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: Right, I need to hear those stories now. 226 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: That was very pertinent information that we should have gotten. 227 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: I don't know in the beginning, right before we're like, oh, 228 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: she might be okay, right. 229 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: I know. It's so funny because I feel like I 230 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: forget that, like these renders, they're just talking about one problem. 231 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: That's what they're there. 232 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: It's always one like ne necessary one side of the story, 233 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 3: but it is a one side of the narrative, and yeah, 234 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: you know, it's. 235 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: Just that focus exactly right. But then we're here and 236 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, we need like the entire life story, like, 237 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: we need all of it. 238 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: I wish we can get why the other siblings cut 239 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 3: her off. 240 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: I would love to know. 241 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: I mean, there's obviously a reason, and yeah, we can 242 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: see that she's crazy. I think this is the right 243 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: thing to do, especially since he tried to have a 244 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: civil conversation with his mom and she blew it up. Yeah, 245 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: there's no point in dealing with it. 246 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: So there's a little bit more For the ones who 247 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: have cut ties with family members in the past because 248 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: of a spouse, what kind of can you give for 249 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: a smoother transition to essentially losing a parent. Is there 250 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: anything that will make it easier on him or both 251 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: of us? We want to start planning family soon too, 252 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: But how am I supposed to ever explain to our 253 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: child what happened to their grandma. I'm truly scared my 254 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: boyfriend might hold resentment towards me one day for bringing 255 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: light to how toxic his mom was. 256 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: My fiance's father blame me for what I did after 257 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: he asked me to. 258 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: I thought that's what you wanted. 259 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: Come on, I'm currently sitting in the bathroom still at 260 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: my fiance's parents' house as I write this. Oh wow, 261 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: so this is in the heat of the moment. 262 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: It really is. 263 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: So I apologize for any mistakes. We arrived here three 264 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: days ago. We were supposed to spend two weeks here, 265 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: but his parents don't have time off from work. They 266 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 3: both work from the same office and always go at 267 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: seven am. I'm usually the one who wakes up early, 268 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 3: while my fiance sleeps as much as he can. By 269 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: the way, this comes from user deep Pickle forty seven 270 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 3: oh seven, and you can submit your own stories to 271 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: the r slash Okay story Time supread it.

The first morning I got up, 273 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: his father asked me to open the door at nine 274 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: every day and let their dog out into the garden. Simple. 275 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: He said that my fiance's brother usually took care of it, 276 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: but he was abroad now, so there was no one 277 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 3: to do it. I agreed. At nine, I opened the door, 278 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: and then three hours later I let the dog into 279 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 3: the house. I did it again today three hours later, 280 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 3: four six seven. My fiance's parents were almost home, and 281 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 3: I still hadn't heard the dog. I went out into 282 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 3: the garden and he was not there. Oh no, uh oh, 283 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: did we skip one of the instructions or did we 284 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: miss an instruction from the father? 285 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, the gate. 286 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: Was slightly open. I panicked and I ran to my fiance. 287 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 3: I told him what happened. We planned to go out 288 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: and look for the dog, but by then his parents 289 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: had arrived. I thought maybe the dog had done this 290 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: before and would come back, or that they knew where 291 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: he might have gone, or if someone could have taken him. 292 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 3: So I immediately told him what had happened, and they yelled 293 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: at me, No, this isn't solving the situation at all. Oh, 294 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 3: the dog is still on the loose. 295 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: Well. 296 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: My fiance's mother was shocked and said she had no 297 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 3: idea what I was talking about, and that they never 298 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: let a dog out alone. My fiance's father was equally 299 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: furious and asked me if I was crazy, and started 300 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: talking about how I should have known their gate had 301 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 3: been broken for years, can't be fully closed, and how 302 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 3: they would never put their dog in such danger. I 303 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: reminded him of our conversation, but he said he didn't 304 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: remember anything like that and that I should stop blaming him. Hmm. 305 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 3: My fiance asked if I did it on purpose and 306 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: started bringing up an incident from a year ago involving 307 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: their dog. I felt overwhelmed and I started crying. And 308 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 3: now I'm sitting in the bathroom and they went to 309 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: look for the dog. Oh my gosh, there's an edit. 310 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 3: As someone suggested, I called my fiance's brother. He didn't 311 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: have much time to talk, but when I asked him 312 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: about the dog, he said they never let him out. 313 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 3: There's another edit. 314 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. 315 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: The incident from last year involved the dog jumping on 316 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: me as I was entering the living room and I 317 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 3: fell and hit myself. I forgot about it and I 318 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: don't remember until my fiance mentioned it. Even though my 319 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: fiance is sleeping longer. We spent most of the day 320 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: today moving things from the pantry, moving old furniture to 321 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: the basement, and bringing new furniture into the kitchen and 322 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 3: putting it all together.

When he wanted to come in, 351 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: he would start barking. No, my fiance didn't ask about 352 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: the dog even once today. Edit. As someone suggested in 353 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: the comments, again, I sent my fiance's brother a message saying, Hi, 354 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: I like to thank you for what you told me 355 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: about your family never letting the dog out and you 356 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 3: never doing it at any hour.

He's the 362 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 3: one who handled that. Yeah, we need someone else to 363 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 3: handle that.

Now, he wrote back, you're welcome and asked what 370 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: had happened. So I'm going to describe everything to him 371 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 3: and see what he says. Another edit. I found the dog. 372 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: Oh wow, thankfully good. That's the best news we needed. 373 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: I just got up from the floor wanted to wash 374 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 3: my face and do something, and as I was passing 375 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: the window, I saw this the neighbor's garden, and in 376 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: it was my fiance's parents dog. 377 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. 378 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: He was just lying in the middle of the lawn, 379 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: basking in the sun like a dog does. 380 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: It's just chilling. 381 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: It's just a chill guy. 382 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 383 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if he was there all the time, 384 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: but I felt stupid. My fiance and his parents haven't 385 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: returned yet. I went to the neighbors to pick up 386 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: the dog. I'm also waiting for a response from my 387 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: fiance's brother, and then I have no idea what I'm 388 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: going to do. My hands are still shaking. Honestly, we 389 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 3: have some relevant comments coming her one, why didn't you 390 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: check on the dog after you let him out? He 391 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 3: was outside for seven hours and you didn't check on 392 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 3: him once? And what was the incident from a year ago? 393 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: We got the incident? Yep, he says, I don't know. 394 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: There was just a lot going on today. My fiance 395 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 3: and I were in the kitchen all day and I 396 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: kind of forgot. I thought that, like last time, the 397 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 3: dog would just show up at the door and bark 398 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 3: when he wanted to come in. Their dog is big 399 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: and sometimes likes to jump at people. So when he 400 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: did it to me last year, I fell over and 401 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 3: I hit myself, but I didn't remember until my fiance 402 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 3: reminded me. Coming to two, A lot going on in 403 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 3: the kitchen. Where did your boyfriend think the big dog was? 404 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: Were you both on something? Opie says, yup, we spent 405 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: all day taking things out of the pantry, moving some 406 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: furniture to the basement, and putting the other new furniture 407 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: in the kitchen. I don't know, and no, we weren't. 408 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: We were just focused on doing that Coupter three. I 409 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 3: have mixed feelings. How would you know the gate is broken? 410 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: But while the dog outside for so long? Are you 411 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 3: not comfortable at being in the house with the dog? 412 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: Opie says. They didn't tell me how long their dog 413 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 3: was supposed to be there, so I assumed he would 414 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: come back when he wanted to, like he did before. 415 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 3: And again I'm giving some Opie credit. Yeah, she's never 416 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 3: had a dog. 417 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: Literally, she's never had a dog. Even with my dogs. 418 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: I've had dogs my whole life, and like one of 419 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: my dogs has like a little bell that she rings 420 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: to go outside the door, and my other dog doesn't 421 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: do that, just stands there if he wants to go out. 422 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: But like that was something that I even had to 423 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: learn of, like, oh shoot, like I need to keep 424 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: an eye on that because he might have to go 425 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: to the bathroom or something like that. 426 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. 427 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: It's like even with having dogs, like it's not something 428 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: you're always used to. 429 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, but to a piece discredit as well. This should 430 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: have been like telling your fiance immediately, hey, your dad 431 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: asked me to do this, or like work, you would 432 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: be like where's Sparky? Yeah right, like seven hours that 433 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: the big dog that probably wants to play around, and like, oh, 434 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: say hi, right, we have an update same day three 435 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 3: hours later. I didn't think I'd be writing an update 436 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 3: on this so quickly, but the last two hours have 437 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 3: been very chaotic. 438 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: Really. 439 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: This time, I'm in the bedroom. My fiance's parents still 440 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: arguing while I'm writing this. 441 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 442 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 3: I know many people may not know this, so I'll 443 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: start by saying the dog has been found. Great. I 444 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: saw him through the bathroom window. He was in the 445 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 3: neighbor's garden, so I went and picked him up. The 446 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 3: neighbor didn't even know about it. She was very surprised 447 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: when she saw me, and when I told her there 448 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 3: was a dog in her garden. Luckily, she was very nice, 449 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: didn't make any problems and just let me take the 450 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 3: dog I have. I'd no idea if he was there 451 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 3: the whole time or if he only showed up later. Anyway, 452 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 3: I took him up. He's behaving normally. He ate drank 453 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 3: and fell asleep on the couch at that time. After 454 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: I found him, I wrote to my fiance that he 455 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: and his parents can come back. As I wrote in 456 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 3: my previous post, I also contacted my fiance's brother. He 457 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 3: confirmed that the dog was never let out in any 458 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: way that his father asked me. Then I told him 459 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 3: what exactly happened via text. Here's his response, translated by Google. 460 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: You need to tell my brother and my mom. I'm 461 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: sorry this is happening and you're having to go through this, 462 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: But honestly, I'm not surprised. Ever since Sparky had that accident, 463 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: it was another dog attacking him. My dad has been 464 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: very callous. He said several times that he'd like to 465 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 3: get rid of the dog. But I didn't think he'd 466 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 3: go this far. It sounded more like a joke. But 467 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 3: why would he tell you to let Sparky out in 468 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 3: the garden and with that gate? The dog isn't even 469 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: used to it what. I'll try to contact mom, fiance's 470 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: brother and fiance's mom too. Again, I'm sorry you have 471 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: to deal with this alone. 472 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it's all coming to fruition. 473 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: He set her up. 474 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 3: He set her up, He framed her. Yeah, and the 475 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 3: worst part is fiance's brother believes you. Yeah, right off 476 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 3: the back. 477 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 478 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 3: Your own fiance was like, hmm, is this because the 479 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 3: dog attacked you? Is just because the dog jumped on you? 480 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: You're getting back at the dog? 481 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was crazy. 482 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 3: Your fiance sounds kind of oblivious because again, sure you 483 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 3: didn't say anything, but it was several hours where he's like, 484 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 3: we're just cleaning the pantry. There's no spark, he's not here. 485 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Literally, he didn't even think about it either. If anything, 486 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: should be equal to blame for this, if it's such 487 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: a big deal that she didn't check on. 488 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 3: Him, he was on my vall. She's the one who 489 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: let him out, Like you have also been at the 490 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 3: house all. 491 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: Day, right, It's like and you know more about the dog, 492 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: you know more about the house. She's literally just a visitor. 493 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 3: Yes. When they returned, I showed the message to my 494 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 3: fiance and his mother. This started a whole new argument. 495 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: My fiance's father continued to argue that he and I 496 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: never discussed it, but this time my fiance and his 497 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 3: mother sided with me. Fine, it's all making sense now. 498 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: Then my fiance's mother asked me and my fiance to 499 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: leave them. Since then, as I have mentioned at the beginning, 500 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: they've been arguing. My fiance apologized and said he was 501 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: shocked and that he felt stupid for not even noticing 502 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 3: that something was wrong. Honestly, I didn't feel like talking 503 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: after he accused me with such confidence yeah, so I 504 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 3: ended up in the bedroom while my fiance went to 505 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 3: the kitchen. I know this is a chaotic update, and 506 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: I apologize if anything is unclear, but that's pretty much it. 507 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 3: I don't have anything more to say. I have to 508 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: rethink some things and what happened and what means for 509 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 3: all of us. I also have to admit that I 510 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 3: want to go back to my home. I feel done. Yeah, 511 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: everyone's yelling at you and you don't deserve any of that. 512 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: But thank you to those who suggested I should contact 513 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 3: my fiance's brother. It really helps. We have a little 514 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: bit left. How do you feel if you were OPI 515 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: in the situation? What do we do? I mean, I 516 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: feel betrayed that my fiance kind of yeah, was like 517 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 3: why did you do that? 518 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: Literally? 519 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: What would you do? How would you handle the situation? 520 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 2: I would be. 521 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: Very mad, for sure. I would definitely at least need 522 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: space like she's getting, because I mean, you know, I 523 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: would be glad that the mom is like, okay, fighting 524 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: for me now. Yeah, sucks that she was still yelling 525 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: at me before, but now whatever. But the fiance doing that, dude, 526 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: it's not even that he is just like, oh my gosh, 527 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: like what they're saying is true, Like you did this? 528 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: Why did you do that? 529 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? It's like genuine what happened? 530 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: Why did you do this? But let's finish up this story. 531 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 3: We have a small edit. My fiance's father just left 532 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: the house. I don't know what happened, but I saw 533 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: him driving away in the car, and I'm going to 534 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: pack up and leave. Two good. I really just want 535 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 3: to be with my family right now. I'm starting to 536 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: get stressed just from sitting in the room, and I 537 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: can't handle any more conversations. We have some relevant comments. 538 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 3: A downloaded commoter sounds to me like you didn't like 539 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 3: getting called out for leaving an animal outside for seven hours, 540 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 3: so you decided to make a fake update to absolve 541 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: yourself of any responsibility regarding a situation. 542 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: Shut up, that is so insane. 543 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: Shut up? 544 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: Is this the dad? 545 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: Listen? I get it that op doesn't know much with animals. Yeah, 546 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 3: that's a little bit on her, like just being like 547 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 3: not telling anyone. Yeah, but it's not really Opie's fault 548 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: when she was literally advised to let the dog out right, Like, 549 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: calm down, Opie says, And what would that give me. 550 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: It wouldn't solve any of my problems with my fiance 551 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 3: or his parents. You're a freak. Even knowing what happened 552 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: doesn't solve this. Everything is still a mess. The only 553 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 3: good thing is that the dog was found. Was Opie's 554 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: fiance's father punted out of the house. Opie says, I 555 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: don't know if he was thrown out, but he just 556 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: drove away. And we have one more comment. Just go home. 557 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 3: Your fiance's father did this on purpose, hoping the dog 558 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 3: would disappear and you would get the blame. Yeah, the 559 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 3: fact that it almost worked is certainly worth reevaluating your 560 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 3: relationship over, but not in their house. Go home, Opie says, Yeah. 561 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: I don't even have the energy for all this anymore. 562 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 3: It's a little late here, but I'm going to pack 563 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 3: and call a taxi.

I still have them all on Facebook, but 583 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: we don't talk unless it's to wish each other a 584 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: merry Christmas, happy Birthday, or anything else. Only a handful 585 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: of times a year out of respect for Ross. They 586 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: do like my posts, especially his mother forties female. I 587 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: asked Ross if he would rather I unfriend them, but 588 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: he says that he's cool with it and to not worry. 589 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: The other day, I received a notification from Ross's mom. 590 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: She shared a memory with me. In it, it was 591 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: of myself, Ross and his younger brother when we were 592 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: on vacation three years ago. His mom wrote, miss the beach. 593 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: She can't wait for summer, and I thought it was 594 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: a little weird and awkward, to say the least, but 595 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: I didn't say anything. A few hours later, I received 596 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: a Facebook message from Crystal saying, oh, Pee, I don't 597 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: know why you feel the need to still keep tabs 598 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: on Ross's family, but you need to back off except 599 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: the fact that he is my boyfriend and please remove 600 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: yourself as its friend as well as the rest of 601 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: the families.

Also, I had 618 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: a post that showed up on my newsfeed. She tugged 619 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: Ross in a picture with the caption, don't know what 620 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: I would do without this amazing man in my life. 621 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: Lovia to the moon and back babe us against the 622 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: world XO cringe. 623 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but like, we know why you posted that.

Yeah, like, 654 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 3: how dare you throw my great man into the mix? 655 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? Talking behind my back?

So two days later 658 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: I posted on Reddit a couple of days after I 659 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: received the message from Crystal. After reading your comments, I 660 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: agree that I did not owe Crystal any response or action, 661 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: but I did think that sending a screenshot to Ross 662 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: would be the best idea. If he had a problem 663 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: with me being friends with him or keeping in touch 664 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: with his family on social media, I would have no 665 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: problem deleting him to me. That should come from him, 666 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: but not her. So later that night, I sent Ross 667 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: a screenshot of the message Crystal sent to me, and 668 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: I added, Hey, Ross, I received this message from Crystal 669 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: a few days ago. Not sure what this is about, 670 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: but if you have any issues with me being friends 671 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: with you and your family on Facebook, just let me 672 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: know and I will respect that. Thanks, and I saw 673 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: that he read the message a couple of hours later. 674 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: He didn't respond that night, but I got a message 675 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: from him late the next morning. He said, Oh, Pie, 676 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: thanks for sending me that screenshot. I had no idea 677 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: that Crystal messaged you, and I want to apologize for 678 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: her behavior. She was completely out of line and sending 679 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: you that. I spoke with her yesterday after I saw 680 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: your message, and she got pretty defensive. She told me 681 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: that she saw that my mom still has pictures of 682 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: you in one of our photo albums, and when she 683 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: saw that, my mom shared that memory of us on vacation. 684 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: She got really insecure and took it out on you. 685 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: She has never come to me and talked about it, 686 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: but I told her that there is nothing to worry 687 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: about it and both you and I have moved on. 688 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: This upset her even more, and she accused me of 689 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: cheating what and said that she found a spicy sleep 690 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: tape of us on my laptop and threatened to show 691 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: it to my mom. 692 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 2: What. 693 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 3: Why are you trying to show to the mom? 694 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: That's crazy. 695 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: Why are you showing it to the mom? 696 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? 697 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 3: What if you showed her the box? She's like, I 698 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 3: miss her. 699 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: Oh ah, that's just dop. 700 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 3: I miss her. 701 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that is so wild. At this point, 702 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: I just told her we're over. I think that you 703 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: should just block her on Facebook because you'll probably try 704 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: to take it out on you. You didn't do anything wrong. 705 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: Sorry for bringing you into this mess, lol, but thank 706 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: you for giving me the heads up. I dodged a 707 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: bullet there, so that escalateted quickly. 708 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 3: There's a little bit more to the story, but I 709 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: guess the situation handled itself. Yeah. 710 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: Good, honestly. Yeah, at first, I honestly was a little skeptical, like, oh, 711 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: maybe don't like tell to him because it might like 712 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: look a little weird or something like that, Like maybe 713 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: just say something to her just to like kind of 714 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: calm or down like that. 715 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: But it's like that's your situation. Yeah, well you don't 716 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 3: to be involved in any of that, right, You took 717 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 3: yourself out of the equation pretty much. 718 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like clearly it was the best way to do it. 719 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: And it is also probably nice too, because it's like 720 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: it's not like she's you know, exaggerating anything that Crystal 721 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: is saying. She's just saying like the exact thing. So 722 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: it's like, if it's really that bad to not show him, 723 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: that should at all. 724 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 3: The one thing would have been, like, why do you 725 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: still have a spicy tape of me? 726 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: Right? 727 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: We broke up, right, that would be a question for sure. 728 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 3: That's like the only thing, Like, Okay, thank you for 729 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: all honesty, sorry that you'd handled that, but yeah, like 730 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 3: did she find a spicy tape of us? Right? 731 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: Because but actually there was a little bit more to 732 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: the story. Okay, Okay, for the record, Ross and I 733 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: never made a spicy sleep te ah love that Any 734 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: NSFW ones that we did make were deleted immediately after watching, 735 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: so she's just cuckoo. 736 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 3: Yes. 737 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: I called to confirm that and he assured me that 738 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: she didn't find anything and she was just using it 739 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: as ammunition to try to get him to admit that 740 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: he either won had an NSFW video with me, or 741 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: two was cheating on her with me. Not really much 742 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: to say other than that I've blogged her on all 743 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: social media and haven't heard anything since. I hope she 744 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: doesn't have my phone number haha. As situations like these 745 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: make me happy that I've chosen to stay single for 746 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: a little while. Thanks for all your advice. Read it. 747 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: It really helped, and there are some comments. There are 748 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: some comments. Miss the Wire says good Gravy starts with 749 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: insecurity over a Facebook post and ends with lying about 750 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: a spicy sleep tape and threatening to send it to 751 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: someone's mother even if Ross was cheating. Why the heck 752 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: would you do that to someone's mom? 753 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: Thank you, I have the blackmail up and said your 754 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 3: mother of you having a spicy sleep tape? What? 755 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: Gosh Opie says, That's when I asked him when I 756 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: called him yesterday, what would she gain from doing that? 757 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: Even if it did exist? Plus, Ross's mother walked in 758 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: on us once. Yikes. I'm sure she doesn't need another 759 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: reminder of that unfortunate event. Deleted says Yay. I'm very 760 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: glad the Ross seems like a very good ex boyfriend. 761 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: You don't see that as often as you should, so 762 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: major props there. The only advice I have for you 763 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 1: is to be very careful with your social media accounts 764 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: right now. Hopefully Crystal doesn't know your phone number, but 765 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: someone who's unfortunately this insecure wouldn't be above making fake 766 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: profiles follow you or friend you, or having friends do it. Oh, 767 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: he responds, I did a privacy check on my Facebook 768 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: account yesterday. Crystal and I were not friends on Facebook, 769 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: so I ended up changing my settings to make it 770 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: a lot more difficult for people who are not Facebook 771 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: friends with me to search me or view my profile. 772 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: Probably the same for bet missus. Grumpy Stripes says am 773 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: I the only one hoping that these two awesome, mature 774 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: people get back together, and Opie responds that can never happen. 775 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: He wants to get married and have children. 776 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: I do not. 777 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: That's a deal breaker. And a lot of relationships, including ours, 778 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: and no matter how much we get along, we can't 779 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: make that aspect to work for us. Bet are off 780 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: as friends for now and that's the end of that story. 781 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, people all to get back together. They have friends, 782 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 3: they can move on back for them. Yeah. I feel 783 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 3: like the one thing is Crystal the X now great. 784 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 3: I feel like she's thinking this is all literally. 785 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like she's gonna go into future relationships or talk 786 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: to friends and be like, oh my god, my ex 787 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: is ex like was crazy and like did all of 788 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: this to try to give me a stop.

So 792 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 3: just be careful, Opie. 793 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: My mother in law hates my new friend. But I'm 794 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: planning another hangout. 795 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 3: Just hanging out behind her back. That's fine, you can 796 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 3: do that. 797 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: It's no biggie. 798 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: The title is a little misleading, but that's essentially what happened. 799 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 2: I'm also not sure our ages matter. But I am 800 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 2: forty four female. My daughter six has a sweet friend, 801 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 2: a boy we will call Luke. Luke has two older siblings, 802 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: but they're not relevant to the story. 803 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: Really. 804 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: I also have two more kids, an eleven year old 805 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 2: son and a two year old son with down syndrome. 806 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 2: Who will call by the way. This comes from Educational 807 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 2: Reveal eight forty seven, and if you want to submit 808 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 2: your own stories, go to the r slash okay storytime subreddit. 809 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 3: I'm Carly and I'm Keon and I'm Dakota. Hi, Dakota. 810 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 2: Who it is? He's here? Ha and Opie says. We 811 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: had a play date a few weeks ago at our 812 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 2: home with just Luke and his mom. Katie unsure exactly 813 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 2: how old she is, but I know she's in her twenties. Well, 814 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 2: obviously JP couldn't just go play with the other kids. 815 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 2: He cannot walk, he cannot talk, so he was with 816 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 2: me and Katie in the living room while my two 817 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 2: older kids and Luke were playing. Katie and I were talking. 818 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 2: And while JP can't talk, he makes noises, grunts, et cetera. 819 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 3: He's just like me, for reals, just like Keon, fur 820 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 3: real that was me for a long time. I know, 821 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 3: I didn't talk until I was like four and a half. 822 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 3: Selective mutism, yeah, selective mutism. 823 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 2: Whenever he would do this, Katie would sort of make 824 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: up something he said and say it for him. Like. 825 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 2: For an example, I was talking about JP and said 826 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 2: he gets chatty in the middle of the nights, and 827 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: JP started grunting, and Katie looked at him and said, no, 828 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: don't worry, I don't believe her anyway, which I laughed about. 829 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 2: It was funny. My mother in law stop by to 830 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 2: grab something and stayed to chat for a bit. She 831 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 2: noticed that Katie interacted a lot with JP. She asked 832 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 2: Katie who she knew that had Down syndrome. I guess, 833 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 2: assuming that she knew someone, and Katie told her that 834 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: she actually didn't know anyone asides from a little boy 835 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: she went to church with as a child. My mother 836 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 2: in law seemed put off by this and leaves. Eventually. 837 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 2: The next day she came back over and asked my 838 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 2: daughter if she had fun playing with her friend. My 839 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 2: daughter says, yes, she loves playing with Luke. My daughter 840 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 2: runs off to play, and my mother in law looks 841 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 2: at me and says, well, at least she got to 842 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: do it once, and you know, not have them over again. 843 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 2: I stared at her, wondering why, so I asked her 844 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 2: what she meant. She said, Katie was too obsessed with 845 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 2: talking to JP. For someone who had no experience with 846 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: Down syndrome children. 847 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 3: Shut up. Yeah, I'm I'm sorry. JP's actually comfortable with 848 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 3: somebody and you're upset that he enjoys being around that person. 849 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 2: And not for nothing, Like I'm sure that mom knows 850 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: best about her kid. 851 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, not mother in law like the OP. 852 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I'm sure OP knows best. 853 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 3: Yeah that. Yeah, I would be delighted if that was 854 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 3: a grandchild of mine or in law or what have you, 855 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 3: child in law of mine like yes, this, thank you 856 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 3: so much. 857 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: Like I'm sure even like the slight gruntson noise too 858 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 2: in public, show that he's at least a little bit comfortable, 859 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 2: like I think OPI would definitely know if JP was 860 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 2: OP and JP if JP was uncomfortable. 861 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 862 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 2: I was thrown by this because to me it was refreshing. 863 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 2: Most people forget JP is there, pretend he isn't, or 864 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: focus on what's wrong with him. Katie treated him like 865 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 2: he was any other two year old, and so did 866 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 2: her son, although he was a bit more confused as 867 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 2: to why JP wasn't speaking, but he never said anything 868 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 2: about it, which leads me to believe Katie has made 869 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 2: sure to teach her kids, not to point out other kids' differences. 870 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 3: W Yeah, even better. This is like when kids are 871 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 3: like developing their brain and like what's going on? Yeah? 872 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 3: Good on. 873 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 2: Hur My husband is away for work for a while 874 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 2: and my mother in law has been my support while 875 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 2: he's gone, and she essentially told me she's not willing 876 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 2: to keep helping if I have another playdate with Katie 877 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 2: and her kids, which is a problem because they are 878 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: supposed to come over again in a few days. They've 879 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 2: come here both times because it's easier for me and JP. 880 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 2: My mother in law thinks I'm exploiting my son to 881 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 2: make a friend. I don't think so. But I do 882 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 2: want to become friends with Katie, but I don't think 883 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 2: she was too interested in JP. We have a consensus 884 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: at the A. 885 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 3: Hole shocking, obviously, shocked, baffled. 886 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: And we have some comments from OPI. I truly don't 887 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 2: have any friends outside of my husband's family, not because 888 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 2: of control issues. My family lives in another state and 889 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 2: I can't see them much, and making friends is hard 890 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 2: when my time is taken up with my kids' activities 891 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 2: and JP's therapies, and I can't just take JP anywhere 892 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: wherever I want or whenever I want, it is hard. 893 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 2: Sometimes it gets lonely, and adding on top of the 894 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 2: i'm sorries I get all the time, and the I 895 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 2: don't know how you do it and I couldn't handle that, 896 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 2: and my favorite one, that must be so hard for 897 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 2: your other kids to not have as much attention. Oh 898 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 2: my god, that leads to me feeling guilty for days afterwards. 899 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 2: It was nice to meet a mom who was willing 900 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 2: to come to our home for our comfort and also 901 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 2: didn't say all the things that make me feel like 902 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 2: I'm uncomfortable spending more time with them. I just didn't 903 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 2: want to think I was exploiting JP just to make 904 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 2: friends with someone I enjoyed being around. JP doesn't act 905 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 2: fearful of her, and she's never said anything to suggest 906 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 2: to me that she resents him. But I think I 907 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: will ask my oldest son tomorrow if he's heard her 908 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 2: say anything or interact differently with JP when she's babysitting. 909 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: She also thinks it's weird for me to want to 910 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 2: be friends with a mom so much younger than me, 911 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 2: even though Katie's oldest is the same age as mine 912 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 2: and her youngest is the same as my daughter. The 913 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 2: only kids without a common age are JP and Katie's 914 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 2: middle child, and we have an update. 915 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 3: I think mother in law is just jelly that you 916 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 3: found a buddy in your time's going to go diverted 917 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 3: to Katie. 918 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 2: Right, Honestly, she's probably mother in law.

Hey, I really want to see 1006 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 2: the kids. 1007 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 3: That sucks the fact that Katie's got them right, you. 1008 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,399 Speaker 2: You dug the hole and now you get to lay 1009 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 2: in it. 1010 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 3: That's amazing. This is an amazing story, I think, though. 1011 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 3: I guess my one piece of mind is mother in 1012 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 3: law you again if she comes back and apologizes, because 1013 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 3: I feel like the kids want their grandma's or grandparents 1014 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 3: in their lives. Sure, as long as it's positive and 1015 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 3: not toxic. But also I think you and Katie deserve 1016 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 3: a vacation, like you have a girl's trip when. 1017 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 2: Your husband comes back. 1018 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's that's definitely something you 1019 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,760 Speaker 3: guys can do, have your own little girl trip. 1020 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 4: But also like, ah, so sweet, it's great. No other comments, 1021 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 4: no comments, just Katie. We got some more comments by OPI. 1022 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 4: He shows up and JP just gets so excited, and 1023 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 4: then my child just gets carted around wherever we are 1024 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 4: for hours. Sometimes her son carried JP around the zoo 1025 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 4: for four hours one day and refuse to put him 1026 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 4: back in the stroller or let one of us hold 1027 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 4: him instead because the stroller can't get close enough like 1028 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 4: we can, and he can see better if I hold him. 1029 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: That's so sweet, that's so cute. 1030 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 2: He's definitely the sweetest and most empathetic. Thirteen year old 1031 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 2: I've ever met in my life, and you can tell 1032 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 2: it's not forced either. First son gets excited to see 1033 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 2: JP two. It's so sweet and I'm so glad that 1034 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 2: we got that. It makes me cry too if I 1035 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 2: think about it too hard, because I can't believe it 1036 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 2: just fell into our laps because my daughter made a 1037 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,879 Speaker 2: friend at school. This is a response to something, Guys, 1038 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 2: I don't know what we're responding to. But would it 1039 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,399 Speaker 2: help you laugh instead if I told you that part 1040 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 2: of his reasoning I didn't include was that me and 1041 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 2: Katie are both way too old for to carry JP 1042 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 2: for that long. Okay, that's about. 1043 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 3: The zoo oh year old. 1044 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, for four hours. 1045 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, sorry, guys, you guys are are 1046 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 3: too old to be carrying.

He's like, you're just too old like, 1055 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 3: don't worry, I can. 1056 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 1: Do it, but you're old and I'm not. 1057 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 3: Now, I like, listen, kid, I'll humble you. 1058 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 2: Okay, but here's the ages. I'm forty five, his mom 1059 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 2: is thirty. 1060 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 3: That would add them for that you want to go, 1061 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 3: but he's still just like you're old. Honestly, me today, 1062 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 3: with my back the way it is, I'd like, yeah, 1063 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 3: one v one me. 1064 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 2: He's a kid. You're right, you can keep carrying them. 1065 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 3: But listen, kid, final destination, no items three stocks. 1066 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 2: One of us was greatly offended by his statement, and 1067 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 2: it wasn't me. Hum at one. I'm still totally lost 1068 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 2: on what mother in law's problem was. We have a reply. 1069 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 2: I'm curious about this as well, and what mother in 1070 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 2: law's resume looks like when it comes to children with disabilities, 1071 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 2: since that's apparently crucial to even being in the presence 1072 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 2: of one. So far, my leading theory is that mother 1073 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 2: in law wanted Opie to have zero other support mother 1074 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 2: in law. Opie having other people she can call on 1075 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 2: means mother in law can't leverage her to get Opie 1076 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 2: to obey. Someone replies, I used to be a children's 1077 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 2: librarian and it's really really common for adults to say 1078 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 2: they don't see the point of talking to nonverbal children 1079 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 2: because the child can't talk back. 1080 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 1: That's so sad. 1081 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:21,399 Speaker 3: That was me. 1082 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 2: Would people not talk to you because you want to talk? 1083 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure, I mean from what I couldn't recall, 1084 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 3: people like, especially kids want to talk to me. 1085 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, that's surprising. So I had a neighbor who 1086 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 2: was selected me as a kid, and we would still 1087 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 2: talk to him, and he would just do what you 1088 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 2: did with like grunts and like pointing, and eventually though, 1089 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 2: like he would only talk to us kids, and he 1090 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 2: still want to talk to adults, so he'd like come 1091 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 2: up and like whisper. 1092 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 3: And like from what I recall, like I didn't really 1093 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,479 Speaker 3: talk to many people. This guy's king Bojie. He doesn't 1094 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 3: even know it. 1095 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 2: It's so dehumanizing and I cringe every time I hear 1096 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: someone say it. I'm wondering if mother in law is 1097 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 2: one of those people. And when she saw Katie talking 1098 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 2: to JP like he was just any other kid, even 1099 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 2: though he couldn't talk back to her, it made mother 1100 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 2: in law feel some kind of way about it. Comment 1101 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 2: to always deeply confused by the people who don't understand 1102 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 2: that the more people who love your kid, the better 1103 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 2: little buddy it needs. These people grandma can get stuff. 1104 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 3: Hey, it's sam og Hos.

I'm ke On, I'm Carly, and 1133 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 3: I'm Dakota, so Opie says. I remember my mother in 1134 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 3: law questioning whether phonetically there would be an alternative spelling 1135 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 3: that could cause confusion, and I had said no, it 1136 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 3: wouldn't and had explained to her the subtle difference in pronunciation, 1137 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 3: and it was a whole conversation I'd had with her. 1138 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 3: Last weekend, we were at my in law's place for dinner. 1139 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 3: My brother in law and sister in law were there too, 1140 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 3: so we were watching my daughter cruising along the room 1141 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 3: using the couches of support, looking at us to see 1142 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 3: if we were looking, and then laughing. My brother in 1143 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 3: law's wife had remarked how radiant she looked and how 1144 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 3: she'd really taken to her name literally. My sister law 1145 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 3: then said that it was a really good choice by 1146 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 3: my mother in law. What does that mean? 1147 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: Interesting? 1148 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 3: I was confused. I asked what she's talking about, and 1149 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 3: my sister in law said that my mother in law 1150 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 3: had been the one to recommend the name. Right. 1151 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,799 Speaker 2: I want to know the name so bad because if 1152 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 2: it really is from Op's like favorite franchise, that's so 1153 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 2: easily disproved. You just go, does mother in law know 1154 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 2: anything else about where the name's from? Like? 1155 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 3: Why did you pick it? Oh? I just love that name. 1156 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 3: My mother in law then said yeah, that she said 1157 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 3: it's a good name. I was literally stunned for a second, 1158 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 3: and then made it clear that I'd come up with 1159 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 3: the name, how i'd known of it, and that my 1160 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 3: husband also knew of that character, and that we were 1161 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 3: passed away set on that name and there were no 1162 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 3: recommendations to be had. I asked my husband to corroborate 1163 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 3: the story, which he did uncomfortably. My mother in law 1164 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 3: said names are a collective family effort, and everyone pitched in. 1165 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,839 Speaker 3: But I still this name was one that was very 1166 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 3: dear to me, and it was one i'd come up with. 1167 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 3: Maybe I shouldn't have pushed on that a second time. 1168 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 3: That's why I'm here. And we came home and we 1169 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 3: were in bed. My husband had been getting text from 1170 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 3: his mom and sister. He said I was right in 1171 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 3: my account of what had happened, but he also told 1172 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 3: me I'd been tactless. That we know it was my name, 1173 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 3: and our daughter has a beautiful name that suits her. 1174 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 3: Why make it into something that causes bitterness? Right? 1175 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 2: And why are we so pressed about who came up 1176 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 2: with What does it matter who came up with the name? 1177 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 2: Just think like, yeah, I think it's a great name, Op, congrats, 1178 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 2: I didn't help with it. Oh yeah, mother in law 1179 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 2: law needs to like dig a Joe pill nose. 1180 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 3: She wants to take accountability, like this is my this 1181 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 3: is my child. So today he had a phone call 1182 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 3: with his mom, just a regular one. I asked if 1183 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 3: she was still pissed. You said she was. He said 1184 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,399 Speaker 3: that he understood why I did it, but it wasn't 1185 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 3: the time and place. I don't agree with this. 1186 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 2: No, it's not mother in law's time and place. 1187 00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't agree with this, Like. 1188 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: Huh, why are we supporting her? 1189 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 3: Was I the a hole? And we have a small update? 1190 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 3: Before the small update? What do you know? I don't 1191 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:07,760 Speaker 3: even have to ask. 1192 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I said what I need to say, Like, 1193 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 2: I don't know why mother in law needs to be 1194 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,280 Speaker 2: a collaborator with that name so bad? And I don't 1195 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 2: think OP should have to let that go. That's it's 1196 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 2: Opie and her husband's like fandom or love or something. 1197 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they probably like I don't see what the husband's like. 1198 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 3: I get it, like, I guess it's not the time 1199 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 3: and place, like maybe it's for you. I would have 1200 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 3: been like, what do you mean that's we came up 1201 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 3: with that name? Why is she taking credit for it? 1202 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 2: Especially if it's something that they like mutually love together 1203 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 2: and it's a point of like bonding over when they met, 1204 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:41,399 Speaker 2: maybe like. 1205 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 3: No, yeah I would. I would. I was like, that's 1206 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 3: that's not the case. In point, I would have been like, 1207 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,880 Speaker 3: that's not right. Let's let's clear that up. We have 1208 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 3: a small update. So my husband came by this on 1209 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 3: his Reddit feed fml. He wants to let us all 1210 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 3: know he never said I was an a hole relevant comments. 1211 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 3: He said that he understood why I did it, but 1212 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 3: it wasn't the time and place. Did he happen to 1213 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,439 Speaker 3: share with you when would have been a better time 1214 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,959 Speaker 3: to correct your mother in law's revisionist history, and why 1215 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 3: he didn't have a word with her and correct her himself, 1216 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 3: big huge, not the ahole hope, He replies, No, he 1217 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 3: didn't say it, but he said it shouldn't have been 1218 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 3: clarified in front of an audience, So I'm assuming he 1219 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,839 Speaker 3: meant when it was just me with mother in law, 1220 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,279 Speaker 3: And if she said this when we've had moments where 1221 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 3: it's just the two of us, I would have corrected her. 1222 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 3: Then I just didn't enjoy saying it in front of others. 1223 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 3: It's just that's when it was brought up. Another comment says, 1224 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 3: does your husband ever stand up to his mother, call 1225 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 3: her out when she lies or if she says slash 1226 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 3: does something unreasonable or trying to determine if this is 1227 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 3: a one off event or if you have more than 1228 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 3: one problem on your hands. Ope, he replies, Before we 1229 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 3: got married, he'd said she can be a bit much, 1230 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 3: and just to sort of not mind her too much, 1231 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 3: which is why we've been back on thus far. But 1232 00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 3: just this was close to my heart, and in the 1233 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,200 Speaker 3: moment I found I had to claim it. Oh, commenter says, mild, 1234 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 3: you're the a whole count yourself lucky that mother in 1235 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 3: law isn't like many on here who hates her grandchild's name, 1236 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,839 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of negativity surrounding that. So what 1237 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 3: if she's taking a little ownership of the name at 1238 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 3: this late date, It just shows that she loves everything 1239 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 3: about your daughter. You and your husband know the true 1240 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,240 Speaker 3: genesis of the name, and that's all that really matters. 1241 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 3: And that comment is downvote. That's my husband's pov essentially 1242 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 3: that it was out of love and now there's bitterness, 1243 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,840 Speaker 3: which I suppose there is, And if I really was 1244 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 3: an a whole thing to do, I'm open to apologizing 1245 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 3: for doing it with others around. I feel like you 1246 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 3: should have just have like a one a one on 1247 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 3: one meeting with her or with you and your husband 1248 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,360 Speaker 3: be like, so, what was that about? 1249 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 2: Right, let's get to the bottom. 1250 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 3: We have another comment. Is this really a hill you 1251 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 3: want to pass away on? Who cares about how the 1252 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 3: name came about? It's your daughter's name now and everyone 1253 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 3: is happy with it. You are making this into a 1254 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 3: much bigger thing than it needs to be. You are 1255 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 3: the a hole does down to comment as well. 1256 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 2: Here's the thing, Yeah, don't keep dragging it out, like 1257 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 2: have that conversation now, nip it in the bud so 1258 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 2: that you can just like move on from it. But 1259 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 2: I don't think you're the a hole for calling her out, 1260 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 2: But have the conversation. 1261 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 3: She's pissed that she got called out on a stupid lie. 1262 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 3: Easy solution to that is she shouldn't have lied. Not 1263 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 3: the ahole up, He says, thank you. And while I 1264 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,879 Speaker 3: didn't bring it up at the time because I didn't 1265 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 3: recall in the moment, I literally have text of me 1266 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 3: sending her a link about how that name is in 1267 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 3: the top twenty and that it's not a totally out 1268 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,640 Speaker 3: there name. Verdict not the a hole and we have 1269 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 3: an update. We're going straight into the update. This was 1270 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 3: four days later. Hi, it thanks a lot for all 1271 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,920 Speaker 3: the comments and verdicts in my first post. Are more 1272 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,720 Speaker 3: than I had anticipated, enough that my husband came across 1273 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 3: it too. First, I do want to clarify that my 1274 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 3: husband never said I was an a hole. He said 1275 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 3: he agreed with the facts that our daughter's name had 1276 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 3: had nothing to do with mother in law, just the 1277 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 3: timing of it. But like a lot of the comments 1278 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 3: had said, perhaps setting the record clear in the moment 1279 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,120 Speaker 3: had been the right thing to do. My mother in 1280 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 3: law had been bringing up the encounter to him in 1281 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 3: passing repeatedly since then, and she was also emphasizing the way, 1282 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 3: in place and time that I corrected her. She was 1283 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 3: not claiming to have recommended the name any longer. Yesterday, 1284 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,240 Speaker 3: because my husband was having to deal with the bitterness 1285 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 3: of the situation, I had to call with my mother 1286 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 3: in law. 1287 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 2: Hey. 1288 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 3: She said she was in shock at the way I 1289 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 3: had gone about it, that it's not what she expected 1290 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 3: of me, how fond she was of my daughter, and 1291 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 3: that the decisions like these are family decisions in spirit, 1292 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,360 Speaker 3: doesn't matter the origin of the thought. 1293 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 2: No, at this time, the family doesn't even know the 1294 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 2: name until the kid comes out. 1295 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 3: Like it's like in spirit, we were there. It's like 1296 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 3: I'm part of the group project too. 1297 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you had him in your head. I 1298 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 2: knew the name. 1299 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. I like, Oh, like, you guys do this 1300 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 3: you you and your husband, OPI did this group project. 1301 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 3: You made a kid. I was part of the process. 1302 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 3: Put my name on the top, right, give me full 1303 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 3: credit A plus insane, I said, I understand and deeply 1304 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 3: regretted the unpleasantness, but it was a name close to 1305 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 3: my heart since I was young and had read the books. 1306 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 3: So that's why this was different to me than any 1307 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,960 Speaker 3: other decision, like the choice of stroller, for instance. My 1308 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 3: mother in law brought up that I had sent her 1309 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 3: a link of how it was a very popular name 1310 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 3: back when I had told her about it the first time. 1311 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 3: I said that, yes, but I'd done that after the fact, 1312 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,919 Speaker 3: just to show it wasn't a completely out there name 1313 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 3: and that I didn't even know what the result of 1314 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 3: the popularity of the name would be when I searched 1315 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 3: for it. But this name was from my heart. She 1316 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 3: said she understands, and again reiterated how much she loves 1317 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 3: our daughter and thanked her and told her how much 1318 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 3: I appreciated it. I think I've handled the situation well. 1319 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,160 Speaker 3: My husband too, seems content after my call A sincere 1320 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 3: thank you everyone who took the time out for my issue. Uh, 1321 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 3: how do we feel? What do we think? 1322 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 2: I'm reading what Kat said here. If it doesn't matter, 1323 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: then why did she claim that? 1324 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? I feel like she got caught. But she's like 1325 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 3: the love for your daughter. It's the love of your daughter. 1326 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 3: I love your daughter so much. And I'm like, you're 1327 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 3: you're going back to that excuse, But why did you 1328 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 3: claim it? I love your daughter, your daughter so much? 1329 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 2: Then drop it. 1330 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 3: Then, Like why are you telling people you said you that, 1331 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,919 Speaker 3: like that's your name, like you you gave her that name. Ohp, 1332 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 3: I love your daughter. 1333 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 2: And the likelink ones talking about how popular the name was. Yeah, 1334 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 2: because I had picked the name out and was telling 1335 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 2: you about it. 1336 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, there was. 1337 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 2: They weren't still deciding. 1338 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 3: Then, Yeah, it would tick me off. But at this 1339 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 3: point I'm like, all right, what's done is done right, 1340 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 3: everyone's happy. 1341 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 2: Like the one comment said, it's not the hill to 1342 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 2: die on for that, but it's annoying. 1343 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 3: It's very annoying. And like if she continues to be 1344 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 3: like I, and if she like, say, when the daughter 1345 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 3: gets older, he's like I named you that, yeah I would, 1346 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 3: I would shut that down. 1347 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1348 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 3: But again, if that's where it is and this lays 1349 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 3: down and there's no more, it's not brought up anymore, Yeah, 1350 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 3: I'm cool with it also too. 1351 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah you go right back to that kid, you'd be like, no, 1352 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 2: I named you after this book? I love read it 1353 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,920 Speaker 2: with me. Is that's when the kid gets to start? 1354 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, the family decides together in spirit? Yeah, you guys 1355 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 3: weren't there. 1356 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, if what she wants to say is that she 1357 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 2: decided the name in spirit whatever you were you were there, sure, yeah, 1358 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 2: but you did had no contribution. 1359 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 3: Otherwise, let's go ahead and finish up this story. She 1360 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 3: was just like in a family, when decisions are made, 1361 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 3: we all own it, regardless of who originally came up 1362 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 3: with it. She was making claims are not the sign 1363 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 3: of a loving family. And again that's all well and 1364 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 3: good for something, sure, but some stuff is just deeply 1365 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 3: personal back checking a pushy mother in law in real 1366 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 3: time for the win. She is a right lively one, 1367 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,760 Speaker 3: isn't she. By the way, Opie, did anyone in mother 1368 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 3: in law's family help name your significant other or your 1369 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 3: sister in law? Upie replies, Hmmm, I never asked that. 1370 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 3: I can ask my husband, and there is an edit. 1371 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 3: My husband can't remember, but he said his grandmother, my 1372 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 3: mother in law's mom, makes an appearance in the story 1373 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 3: about his name. He has no clue about the story 1374 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 3: or if his sister or brother's name. Another comment says, 1375 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 3: but didn't you have to convince her of the name 1376 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 3: to then go on and say she recommended it? Isn't 1377 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 3: just making a decision as a family, even in spirit. 1378 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 3: That's just a straight up fabrication. She can go around 1379 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,240 Speaker 3: telling people she approved the name if she wants, but 1380 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 3: even that would rankle me because decisions like a child's 1381 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,840 Speaker 3: name are not family decisions in spirit to begin with, 1382 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 3: They're the parent's decision. I'm glad you're okay with how 1383 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,959 Speaker 3: things panned out, and I help. This is a one off, 1384 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 3: but I'd be on the watch for my in law 1385 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 3: in case of further revisionism shrieks, and in case she 1386 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 3: decides other decisions that should be mine and my partners 1387 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 3: suddenly become a family decision in spirit or otherwise. Do 1388 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 3: not let her wiggle her way into having veto power 1389 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 3: over your decisions as a couple or as parents, hope. 1390 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 3: He responds, Yep, I made it clear to my husband 1391 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 3: that when it comes to our daughter, only him and 1392 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 3: I make decisions. Your mother in law is an a 1393 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 3: hole for trying to take credit, then gaslighting you into 1394 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 3: an apology, and making you think naming a child is 1395 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 3: a group effort in spirit when there was, in reality 1396 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 3: no group. Your husband is an ahole for saying you 1397 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 3: were in the wrong, for putting his mother in her place, 1398 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 3: for lying then not telling his mother to touch grass 1399 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 3: when she witched about it. You are an ahole to 1400 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 3: yourself for accepting this and apologizing. You are an ahle 1401 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 3: to your daughter if you allow her to be raised 1402 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 3: thinking this crap is healthy or acceptable. All right, Tom, 1403 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 3: I don't. 1404 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 2: Think she's doing that. 1405 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 1: Last one. 1406 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 3: Let's a little aggressive, true, but a little aggressive. I 1407 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 3: think it's just like one of those things like all right, 1408 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 3: let's clear that up. Yeah, it's what I'm like, all right, whatever, 1409 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,919 Speaker 3: If you keep doing it, then I'm gonna really press 1410 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 3: on it and get really upset. And there's a top comment. 1411 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 3: She was in shock at the way I had gone 1412 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 3: about it. That's not what she expected of She's chastising 1413 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 3: you because you didn't just swallow your food and let 1414 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 3: her lie and boast and exaggerate her own importance as 1415 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,439 Speaker 3: she fully expected you too. So yeah,
