1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hey, John, you're under arrest. Oh no, don't do it.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm an og Okay Storytime podcast host. I don't care.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm making sure that you stay here for the next

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: two minutes.

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: All right, I'll be detained for the two more minutes

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: before we get into this episode.

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got some ads coming up. Just stick around.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 3: Stick around.

9
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: A professor tried to boss me around until she realized

10
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: who my husband is.

11
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you not even know who my husband is?

12
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: And it's back to School Week on Okay Storytime Podcast,

Speaker 1: sweethearts to evil professors that'll make you question is my

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: student loan worth it? If you're new here and looking

16
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: for the story my boyfriend's professor is way too friendly

19
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Okay Storytime wherever you get your podcasts. Let's dive into

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: this one. My husband works for a pretty prestigious university

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: as the director of student Life. He oversees a decent

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: sized staff and their work encompasses all manners of student

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: activities groups, Greek life, et cetera. By the way, this

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: comes from Fluffel for five and if you want to

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: submit your own stories, go to the rt slash Okay

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: story time separed it so a little background before I

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: get into the incident. A few months ago we were

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: expecting our baby. Most people on campus knew this and

29
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: knew that my husband, let's call him Joe, would be

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: taking paternity leave. When the big day came, I called

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: them at work and told them it's time meet me

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: at the hospital. And he dropped everything and ran at

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: the door, as you do in the delivery room. We

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: had plenty of downtime, so from time to time he

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: checked his work email while I rested. He's looking through

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: it and goes what the f A professor wrote him

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the most caustic, unhinged rant, saying, basically, I came into

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: your office to see you about a matter concerning my students,

39
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: and you weren't there despite the department hours clearly dating

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: eight to five. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. Contact me Immediately,

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: he looled and said, won't she feel silly when she

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: gets this out of office reply? But no, ten minutes later,

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: she's pestering him again. Finally, he sent her a very

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: terse reply, and it seemed that was the end of it,

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: but not for long. Every day for the next week

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: this professor came into the office demanding to know if

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: Joe was there. More than one tear was shed by

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: the staff during this time. I don't know exactly what

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: she was saying or why no one else could do

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: what she needed. The staff was kind enough not to

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: burden Joe with this while he was on paternity leave,

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: but reports are it was like having an angry dementor

53
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: come through. On the first day Joe returned to work,

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: he got to meet this professor face to face. He

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: was in his office on face time with me. Actually,

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: when yelling erupts from down the hall. Uh oh, he

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: says to me, But that's her. We hung up and

58
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: what conversation happened in that office can only be imagined.

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Or maybe he told me and I forgot hashtag newborn life.

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: By all accounts, she was cantankerous, irate, and incorrect in

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: what she was trying to do, and could not be

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: told otherwise. As he is in charge of the department

63
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: but not of her, he could only put his foot

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: down on the request, but not the behavior. Finally she

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: left and the whole situation was done and dusted, finished

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: and forgotten, but again not for long. Fast forward to yesterday.

67
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I decided to pop in with the baby to surprise

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: him and hopefully we could go to lunch also show

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: off the baby. Of course, when we arrived, it was

70
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: squeeze all around from the office staff, and one of

71
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: the ladies took the baby for a tour of the

72
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: around the building.

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: That's cute. She just steals your baby.

74
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I've been holding that kid for three months straight, so

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I was happy to let her. Joe's admin assistant told

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: me he was in a meeting for another ten or

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: so minutes, and then she went off on the baby

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: world tour. So I decided to sit in his office

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: and enjoy merciful silence. But and you guessed it, not

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: for long. Oh No, we know who's coming. She's on

81
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: her way, stomping through heels, clicking.

82
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: I can hear him.

83
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, enter the professor from Heck. I knew it was

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: her before she said one word. She looked like an

85
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: ivory tower Karen with a I want to talk to

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: your dean hairdoo professor from Heck.

87
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: Does nobody do any work around here. This is outrageous.

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: Where is admin assistant? Why is Joe even on the

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: payroll and he's never here? Go find him?

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: What?

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: Oh my fing god, are you effing hungover to accept

92
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: a simple direction?

93
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: What the f is wrong with you? I punt your

94
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: butt out of class looking like that.

95
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: I don't care where he is.

96
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: Go and get Joe me. Oh you think I'm a student.

97
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pretend.

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: I'm not a student now, sitting in the office with

99
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: the university sweatshirt and all book bag. What group are

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: you in? Because Joe will be very interested to hear

101
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: how nept you are.

102
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, book bag? Oh yeah, diaper bag.

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 3: Loll.

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: At this point, I decided to ride this out and

105
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: hope he comes back and sees it in progress.

106
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: Ope, he's kind trolling right now?

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, She's like, yeah, uh huh.

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: I have no consequences to where this action will go.

109
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: How far can we let it go?

110
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: Op?

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: He says, let's say I am a student. What makes

112
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: you think I work here? That was exactly the wrong

113
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: or right, depending on your point of view. Thing to

114
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: say this? Lady comes undone in a torrent of maniacal hissing,

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: and shrieking. Her vitriolnew no bounds as she directed me,

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: the office staff, my husband, all students except hers, the

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: building itself. I've never seen such a tantrum. Give the

118
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: baby a few years. As she's having her belt down,

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: I moved out of the chair where I'd been sitting

120
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: and sidled up to a photo of our wedding that

121
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Joe hung up. She just goes, She goes, like she goes,

122
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: she goes.

123
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: She points out it.

124
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: Like, Hey, it's this picture on the wall is pretty great.

125
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: Huh whoever's in that photos? Really track?

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, this guy's got a hot.

127
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: What life also great? Riding super nova? Says yes, amazing, Right.

128
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: I leaned against the wall like a laconic. I leaned

129
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: against the wall like a laconic cowboy, with my foot up,

130
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: arms folded, smirking. Unsurprisingly, she didn't notice the similarities between

131
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: the beaming bride and the dumpy, sleep deprived chick standing

132
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: before in her before her, but I remained committed.

133
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 5: To the con pause. Laconic is basically a way to

134
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 5: say a man a few words. M a interesting context

135
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 5: of applying it to a person.

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 2: Apparently, she is giving it. She is giving a laconic

137
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: vibes right now.

138
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she just goes.

139
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: She's really said much. The conversation has been ninety percent

140
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: this professor in ten percent, Opie.

141
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: After several moments of non star abhorrent of verbal abuse.

142
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: Joe's not even fit for community college Holie. After he

143
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: get a job. Here was the one that made me toortal.

144
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: She didn't like that much.

145
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I hear a flurry of footsteps coming flying down the hall.

146
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: The admin assistant comes sliding through the door like Kramer,

147
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: face white as a sheet. I ask her if Joe

148
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Junior is okay. Another coworker had him in another office

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: because they heard uh Professor from Heck and didn't want

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: his baby self to learn what madness lurks in the world.

151
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: That's such a tender age. She has exactly enough time

152
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: to answer yes before Professor from Heck Unleasha's the kraken

153
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: in her direction visa the ineptitude of ma clutch pearls.

154
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: This is the admin assistant.

155
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, what is wrong with this one? Why did

156
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: she wake up with the wrong side of the bedroom?

157
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

158
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't think she's ever woken up on the right

159
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: side of the bed. You know why, dang man, Admin assistant, Wait,

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? That's missus, department head. Me

161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: still pose like the Marlboro man, points at my picture

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: and right on cue. Here comes the man of the hour, Joe,

163
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: complete with Joe Junior in arm. The coworker holding the

164
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: baby had called his cell phone and told them what

165
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: was happening and to get back here a sap. Joe

166
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: was livid, but that eerie, scary sort that is schodenfreud

167
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: lover's delight when directed at a deserving recipient. He handed

168
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: me the baby and asked if I was all right,

169
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: then turned to Professor from Heck. Joe, get out, don't

170
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: come back until I've spoken to your department chair. I'm

171
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: going to lunch. Me boy, do I have a story

172
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: to tell you? And out the door. We swept off

173
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the lunch where we got pizza and migrains from laughing

174
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: so hard. Eh, that's fun. At this time, I don't

175
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: know what action is being taken against Professor from Heck,

176
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: but if I asked, I will surely be happy to

177
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: give testimony.

178
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: She's gonna say it in such a cool way of

179
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: the story. Man, you're the coolest part I think she's

180
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: the coolest person ever.

181
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: There is an update, folks. But that was great. Yeah,

182
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: excellently handled. Loved it. She sucks. That lady sucks, and.

183
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: Uh, like, what possesses a person to go to this

184
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: grade of links and still be in the right.

185
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, even if she was a student, why are

186
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: you treating OPI like a you know, why are you treating.

187
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: A student like I've seen some teachers that just like

188
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: the power and the power they have o her students

189
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: what they can do.

190
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Agreed, But there is an update, folks. Okay, Joe talked

191
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: to the head of the Department of Engineering and turns

192
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: out professor from HECK is an associate professor from ECK

193
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: and therefore I'm tenured. Wow, Joe is leaving for a

194
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: conference tomorrow and won't be back until Wednesday, so I

195
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: probably won't know more until then, but stay tuned.

196
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: It's not even she's just what what you take a

197
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: little bit of power, you just go crazy with you.

198
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't even have like security here, man admin

199
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: assistant is gathering up a paper trail of literal papers

200
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: that Professor from HECKS has submitted that she isn't allowed

201
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: to and checks she signed that she can't sign. She'll

202
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: also be forwarding all harmful emails from Professor fro Meck

203
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and making a written statement of her behavior. Joe will

204
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: probably send the emails he received HR and the department chair,

205
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: but he's not as heated now on his own behalf,

206
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: but still lived about the way the staff are being

207
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: treated as he was the other day, as he was

208
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: the other day, and might not press too hard except

209
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: in support of the staff. And there's another update. Admin

210
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: assistant has submitted her complaint to HR. The professor from

211
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: X department chair suggested to her that she not contact

212
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Joe's department, not for the least of which reason. The

213
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,119
Speaker 1: things she's trying to do can only be done by students,

214
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: and she overtook the responsibility in an effort to mega

215
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: ultra micromanage them. Call surprise that she treats her students

216
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: like that and usurped control of a student led group.

217
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: In all likelihood, this process will drag on for some time,

218
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: and she'll probably get a slap on the wrist for

219
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: both offenses and folks.

220
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: There's an update.

221
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: I slap on the wrist. I don't think that's warranted. Okay, okay,

222
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: slap on the risk as long as she gets to

223
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: go to therapy too.

224
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I think I think she could get way more trouble.

225
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: I think she's like actively causing everyone in different departments

226
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: so much trouble and multiple people have complained.

227
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: Multiple people and signing checks.

228
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: I think she can watch update for that girl got

229
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: censured and asked to step down to another institution, jail,

230
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: Heck wherever. When we last heard from the professor from HECK,

231
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: she was making support staff and add my assistants cry

232
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. Yikes, get this girl out. During

233
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: these summer months, most of the students have been off campus,

234
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: but that hasn't stopped professor from HECK from bringing the drama.

235
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: I'll warn you now, I'm going to obscure some of

236
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the details to protect the parties involved, innocent and otherwise.

237
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Part of what the professor from HAC did that started

238
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: all this trouble in the first place was steamrolling the

239
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: leaders of a student group she was mentoring, taking over

240
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: the responsibility, and being an absolute monster to everyone involved.

241
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: She was told umpteen times that the group's treasury was

242
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: solely a responsibility of the students, and yet refuse to

243
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: let them so much as play a part. Even though

244
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: she's given Joe a wide berth, she continues to be

245
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: harmful to everyone else in the department. He could not

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: let this go on and began a too pronged approach

247
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: to flesh her out. In addition to working with HR

248
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: and providing them weekly examples of her awfulness, he also

249
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: asked the employee who works with the incoming and outgoing

250
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: checks from and two student groups to dig deep. Sure enough,

251
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: Jackpot Eureka, Professor FROMHC was signing the checks. She can't.

252
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: Submitting the checks she can't. Hence the fights with the

253
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: office staff to making over the funds from the group

254
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: once received, cooking the books and skimming off the top.

255
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: No way, You're done, girl, You're done, Yanks. In the

256
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: same week, Joe received word from HR that action would

257
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: be taken and learned about the straight up fraud, which

258
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: probably caused Professor from HECK to be an extra prickly pair.

259
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: He received a call from the chair of professor from

260
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: X College. The guy was halfway around the world on vacation,

261
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: but he was so disgusted by all of this he

262
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: actually spoke to Joe to discuss matters I like to

263
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: think he was sitting on top of an elephant and

264
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: or drinking a Singapore Sling while making this call. There

265
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: is a little bit left to this story. Do you

266
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: have any final thoughts?

267
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: Riley?

268
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: I am seeing everything kind of come together here. Why

269
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: she was being so mad at everyone because she's if

270
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: she steamrolled, she got what she wanted. And thank you

271
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: Opie's husband for stopping done and for uh just forgeting

272
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: the catalyst.

273
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, without you, there'd be nothing. She would

274
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: still have a job, and we wouldn't have this story.

275
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: And people will still be crying.

276
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: But there's a little bit left. Professor from Hex horrendous

277
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: actions now brought to light. She was presented with a

278
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: choice of police involvement or resignation. Last I heard, she

279
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: still hasn't made an official reply. Now, if it were me,

280
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: I'd have chucked Professor from Eck in the slammer and

281
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: thrown away the key. But the powers up you don't

282
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: live for messy drama like I do. I guess there

283
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: you have it, friends, theirs are exciting, if not slightly disappointing. Conclusion,

284
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: So long form a Professor from Eck, good luck finding

285
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: a job in any school anywhere. Now common one says,

286
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: says that was a delightful read. I'll never understand why

287
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: someone who's doing something illegal or unethical would draw more

288
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: unnecessary attention to themselves. Makes it way more likely you'll

289
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: get caught. Indeed, but she did it, and she got caught.

290
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Sucks for her. My sister accused me of stealing her boyfriends.

291
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Now her husband won't leave me alone steal him too.

292
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: When I was in college, I had a rough patch

293
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: with my sister at Gabrielle, and we were both very

294
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: mean and vindictive to each other. It started with an

295
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: inheritance that was rightfully hers that my parents made her

296
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: split with me. Long story short, she became resentful of

297
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: having to share her money with me and kept track

298
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: of every dollar I spent. By the way, this comes

299
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: from blar what now, what now? And if you want

300
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: to smit your own stories, go to the r slash

301
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: Okay storytime separate. She even reported to my parents anytime

302
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I went out drinking with friends or doing anything I

303
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing, just so she could say, see, I

304
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: told you, we shouldn't have given her the money. I

305
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: was twenty years old at the time and very resentful

306
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: of having what felt like a PI intruding on my

307
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: life and making my parents constantly yell at me. So

308
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I did the immature thing and kissed her boyfriend, and

309
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: one Thanksgiving or Christmas can't even remember. Two years later,

310
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: when my sister and my relationship was improved but not perfect,

311
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: we got in a petty fight before her birthday and

312
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: I wound up flirting with her boyfriend as some kind

313
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: of immature revenge. I remember the cringe faces my friends

314
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: made at me were basically grinding with Gabrielle's boyfriend on

315
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: the dance floor that night, and I'm still completely embarrassed

316
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: of that memory, even though it was five years ago.

317
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Fast forward to now, my sister and I have a

318
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: good relationship as we are both adults with confidence, stable careers, etc.

319
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: It helps that we did not see each other as

320
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: much before because I moved across the country for several years.

321
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: I've since moved back to the city close to our

322
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: hometown where my sister lives, and we have resumed weekly

323
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: or bi monthly dinners with the family on Saturdays or Sundays.

324
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: Four dinners ago, my mom was remarking on the state

325
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: of our relationship now and commenting on how silly it

326
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: was that we used to get on so poorly. My

327
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: sister joked, but I was a crappy human being then

328
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not now. Her husband, Nick, reacted strongly to

329
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: crappy human beings, so in defense of her word choice,

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: my sister revealed the thing about me kissing her boyfriend

331
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: once and then grinding on another years later. It was

332
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: a bit uncomfortable, but we all laughed and went on

333
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: with the rest of the night. But since that dinner,

334
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: I noticed Nick starting to flirt with me. Ah, I fear,

335
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: oh pee, this is a boy who cried Wolf's situation.

336
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: It sucks that Nick is flirting with you, and you

337
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: probably aren't going to flirt with him, hopefully, but I

338
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: fear You've done it two times and on the third

339
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: people aren't going to believe you when you say that

340
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: you weren't flirting with him.

341
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and you set yourself up.

342
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: I can't even explain some of the moments because they

343
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: were wordless, but I'll list the most blatant offenses below.

344
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: That night, we were watching TV and he said I looked

345
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: like a certain actress on TV who in that scene

346
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: happened to be wearing a very revealing outfit. It felt

347
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: a little weird, but I figured I was the one

348
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: being weird because he said it in front of my

349
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: sister and she didn't flinch. Next time he came to

350
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: hang in my room. Well, Mom and sister cooked downstairs.

351
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: He has done this once or twice before, but this

352
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: time kept looking for pictures of my college days because

353
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: he wanted to see what I looked like back when

354
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: I was seducing Gabrielle's boyfriends. He got me going through

355
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 1: my favorite fitness instagrams, lots of booty shots element and

356
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: asked if I was watching corn. I said no, and

357
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: he exaggerated a disappointed expression and said, let me know

358
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: if you are okay, are more, but say what you

359
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: gotta say.

360
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 6: At first, I was like, that's not necessarily like saying like,

361
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: oh you look like yeah. He could have gotten away

362
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 6: with that one, even the second one, which was like

363
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: hanging out in your room if he's done it before, sure,

364
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 6: if it's normal, but but no.

365
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's more of these instances, so I'll keep going.

366
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: He got too close to me in the kitchen, and

367
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: I said, you don't have to stand so close, to

368
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: which he responded, is it okay if I do? I

369
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: said I'd prefer that he didn't, and he made a

370
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: narrowed eye face at me as if to convey being skeptical.

371
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: I flat out said, why are you being weird? He

372
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: didn't give me a real answer. I'm angry because he

373
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: never really acted inappropriately around me before. We had a

374
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: pretty good relationship and liked to talk about sports, movies

375
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: the like. I always felt he and my sister were

376
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: a good match and that he was a good husband.

377
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: But now it seems he heard a story and saw

378
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: it as his green light to start messing with me.

379
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: I feel I feel he sees me as someone whose

380
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: word against him would be invalid because of my history,

381
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: and I want very badly to prove him wrong and

382
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: just tell my sister and even parents what is happening.

383
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: But I don't feel that any of his offenses thus

384
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: far sound big enough to report to someone about. At

385
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: the same time, I don't want to keep going to

386
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: dinner and just waiting to be pestered in some way

387
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: or another just so I can point it out. I'm livid,

388
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: and I'm a little embarrassed, and I don't know which

389
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: way is best to approach the situation. I'm not comfortable

390
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: telling anyone I know about this, so I appreciate any

391
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: insight or advice at it. A lot is being made

392
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: of the will. When I say rightfully, I mean legally.

393
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: Grandmother wrote Gabrielle in because she was the older child,

394
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: but it always referred to it as our money. Many

395
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: years back, Dad asked Mom to have Grandma legally change it,

396
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: and Mom went nuts on him, saying that it was

397
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: ugly and not how our family worked. Grandma did not

398
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: know about my or Gabrielle's rough patch or any of

399
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: my poor behavior, so the will was certainly not written

400
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: with that in mind. This hurts to say, but she

401
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: passed away thinking we were perfect young women. And there

402
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: is an update. But do you have any thoughts?

403
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: You gotta talk to that brother or the sister.

404
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: Now, yes, like get the thing is, yeah, she might

405
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: not believe you, but I think you need to go

406
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: to your mom, go to your sister and say hey.

407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: Ever since that conversation, I've been feeling really really uncomfortable.

408
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: He's done this, this and this, uh, and I really

409
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable being around him.

410
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 6: Because if you if it comes out from him, yeah,

411
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 6: if it comes out from someone else that it happened,

412
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 6: it's like he said, you cried wolf.

413
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 3: It's never gonna work.

414
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: And every and I honestly don't even think your sister

415
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: will believe you when you say this, like be ready,

416
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't think she'll believe you. Maybe she will, maybe

417
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: she'll surprise us, but I think that you tell her

418
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: right away, you tell the mom right away, and then

419
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: every time you see him, or just even before that,

420
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: every time you see him, you're far away from him.

421
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: If he tries to get flirty, leave the room like immediately, like,

422
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: do not put up with any of that.

423
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: Because also after you tell her, they're gonna be more

424
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 6: aware of it, Yes, exactly, so they'll actually be watching

425
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 6: you for it, which it could help your cause.

426
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 3: I think you're still screwed.

427
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, you got this, Zoopie. There is an update though,

428
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: figured i'd write this for the people who asked for

429
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: an update. Since writing my last post, I've been to

430
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: one more dinner at my parents' house. I brought a

431
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: family friend with me and asked her to keep an

432
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: eye out for any funny behavior coming from Nick. I

433
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: also hoped her presence would dwart any of his advances.

434
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: I think a combination of my friend's presence and him

435
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: being the one cooking that night made it so that

436
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: he didn't talk to me much, which was great. Of course,

437
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: there was still a weird moment, and it happened when

438
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: I was grabbing wine from my parents' fridge in the garage.

439
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: I had no idea Nick followed me, so I yelped

440
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: when he said something. My sister called from the kitchen

441
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: to ask what happened, and I said, Nick scared me

442
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: because he came out of nowhere. He said there's a

443
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: joke to be made about that. I gave him a

444
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: weird look and he said, me call me out of nowhere.

445
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Clearly a spicy related thing. Yeah, yeah, pretty obviously. I ignored

446
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: it and booked it out of the garage before he

447
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: could do anything else, and for the rest of the night,

448
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: that was it. My friend and I left early, and

449
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: I said goodbye to everyone from the door, pretending to

450
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: be in a rush. Two days after that dinner, I

451
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: woke up to way more Instagram notifications than I'm used to.

452
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: I checked it and it was one brand new account

453
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: tagging me in a bunch of spicy sleep joke memes

454
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: or spicy related pictures, a lot of them being women

455
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: wearing wet T shirts. There was also one of a

456
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: woman in an S and M looking catwoman outfit, and

457
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: I was tagged along with the words you in this

458
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: That's disgusting. Immediately suspected Nick didn't know how to approach

459
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: it and didn't tag me in anything beyond that burst

460
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: of ten photos, so I didn't do anything about it.

461
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: I told some friends, but wasn't sure what else I

462
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: could really do. Later that week, I got a Facebook

463
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: friend request from someone I didn't know. I recently created

464
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: a new for people I actually know Facebook profile close

465
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: friends and family I actually talked to and haven't seen recently,

466
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: or and have seen recently. I don't get friend requests

467
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: off it anymore, as I'm totally private and unsearchable, so

468
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: this request was the only one that day and made

469
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: me instantly suspicious. I thought it was some fake profile

470
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: Nick made, but weirdly enough, I looked into this guy's

471
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: profile and saw that he was a real person with

472
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: real friends and a job. He is googleable a check

473
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: to see his high school or college to see if

474
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: he was a friend of Nick's, and there were no

475
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: schools listed, only current employment. Also, he lives in the Midwest,

476
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: in a state where I know no one. Most everyone

477
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: I know lives on the East Coast. Anyway, I accepted

478
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: the friend request and asked how this guy knew and

479
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: found me, And the first thing I got back from

480
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: him was a long and very explicit story using my

481
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: name as the main character. Considering how he messaged it

482
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: to me right away, it was clearly written already in

483
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: waiting for me. I took a screenshot blocked him instantly,

484
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: and I've since regretted it because I wish I could

485
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: look at his profile and find his connection to Nick. Oh.

486
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: Fel so bad for OP because it feels like when

487
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: like in a movie where you know, the Invisible Man movie. Yeah,

488
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: this is what it feels like where she's going crazy. Yeah,

489
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: thinking that he's everywhere and he like kind of it

490
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: kind of is Yeah.

491
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 6: My thing though, is like, is he? And I'm sure

492
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 6: we'll find out getting friends in on this.

493
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: I feel like he might be. But also there's a

494
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: chance that this is just like a weird Facebook you know,

495
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: troll or something.

496
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 3: With her name in it.

497
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: Though, well, you can Facebook It depends on how much

498
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: information they have, you know, pretty weird though. Definitely take

499
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: screenshots of everything that you get and send them to

500
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: your friends, your family.

501
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 6: You might know Facebook better. Couldn't you just unblock him

502
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: and find the connection to Nick?

503
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, that's true.

504
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 6: She was like, and I'm so mad that I blocked

505
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: him so quickly unblock him?

506
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you could just block him, that's a good point.

507
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 6: I get maybe the fear of like, he'll send me more,

508
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: but just real quick.

509
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: Real quick. Honestly, I feel like there was no way

510
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: this isn't all Nick. Even if that wasn't his Facebook profile.

511
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: I feel like it's someone he knows and he put

512
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: him up to this. He and I have never talked

513
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: about wet t shirts or Catwoman, but I also don't

514
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: know anyone else who would do it except him. There

515
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: is a little bit left to this story. Do you

516
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: have any final thoughts?

517
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: Part of me is like, gotta be Nick hundred percent.

518
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

519
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 6: But I think maybe he told a friend about it

520
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 6: and was like, hey, this girl's open to flirting.

521
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't think. Maybe it's not directly Nick,

522
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: but maybe he's like pastor off to like a gross friend.

523
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what you should do is go to

524
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: your mom, go to your sister, say hey, I've been

525
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: noticing these kind of weird, kind of uncomfortable things for Nick.

526
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: Don't really like it. If you could talk to him

527
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: about it, like you can frame me in that way. Two,

528
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: you don't even have to accuse Nick of the Facebook thing.

529
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Just say, look at this super creepy thing I got.

530
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: I have no idea who this is, and just like

531
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: literally show it.

532
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: Everything just needs to be out there, yeah, in the world.

533
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: Just start telling them everything. You don't have to accuse

534
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: Nick of anything. But there's a little bit left of

535
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: this story. So yeah, that's my update. I honestly have

536
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: no idea if I have a move here at all.

537
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: Since everything happened mostly anonymously on social media. I've asked

538
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: around about the Facebook guy and even asked Gabrielle, but

539
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: no one knows that name. I have made excuses to

540
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: avoid future dinners at my parents' home, and we'll continue

541
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: to do so. I'll see them on my own when

542
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: Nick isn't around. There hasn't been any online pestering since then,

543
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: but I won't be surprised if another incident pops up

544
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: sometime soon. Not sure how and where it'll happen, but

545
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it will include a that points me towards Nick,

546
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: because right now I've got nothing and that's the end

547
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: of the story. John here og host.

548
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna get back to these stories, but a quick

549
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: three minute break from hoss from our sponsors.

550
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 6: My husband and his mother are making me so crazy

551
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 6: that I almost cheated.

552
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: That's a pretty bad excuse. Hello.

553
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 6: First, I would like to say that I come from

554
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 6: an economically developed country in Asia, but the society here

555
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 6: is still very patriarchal in its view of family and

556
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 6: the women's roles within it and piety. The way I

557
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 6: was raised influences the way I think and look at situations.

558
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 6: It may be hard for others to understand, but that's

559
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 6: just the way things are. By the way, this comes

560
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 6: from g one Ta, and if you want to submit

561
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 6: your own stories, go to the r slash Okay storytime subreddit.

562
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 6: So background, I will try to be brief with this.

563
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 6: It is to provide context on the issues that exist

564
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 6: that I describe later on. I met my husband Sean

565
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 6: at Universe when I was twenty doing undergraduate while he

566
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 6: was twenty eight and completing his doctorate. My major was

567
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: English education, and I had planned to spend my last

568
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 6: year of university abroad in either the US or UK. However,

569
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 6: Sean told me he loved me asked me to stay

570
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 6: with him, and I did because I loved him too.

571
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 6: I graduated and found work as a teacher's assistant at

572
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 6: an elementary school. Sean finished his doctorate a few years

573
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 6: later and began working as an assistant professor at our

574
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 6: alma mater. We got married in twenty ten. My very

575
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 6: wealthy in laws bought us a gorgeous house as a

576
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 6: wedding gift and paid for our honeymoon, during which I

577
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 6: got pregnant.

578
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: My husband and.

579
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 6: In laws requested me to retire from work at least

580
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 6: until our child started school. I agreed because one I

581
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 6: wanted to spend as much time with the baby as possible,

582
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 6: and two I was grateful to my in laws for

583
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 6: everything they'd done and wanted to follow their wishes. Three,

584
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 6: it is commonplace in in my country, and my mother

585
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 6: had done the same for me. And four my in

586
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 6: laws offered to supply a monthly allowance to support our family.

587
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 6: In twenty eleven, my daughter was born. It was the

588
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 6: happiest day of my life, and she grew into the

589
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 6: most beautiful, sweet little girl. My husband worked around fifty

590
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 6: to sixty hours per week and it was tough, but

591
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 6: I loved being with my daughter, and my in laws

592
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 6: and parents helped me a lot.

593
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: In this time.

594
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 6: My husband and I had some disagreements about his contributions

595
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 6: to raising our daughter, the current issue. In twenty fourteen,

596
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: my father in law passed away unexpectedly. The whole family

597
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 6: took the death very harshly. My mother in law was

598
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 6: very adamant about not living alone, and because my husband

599
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 6: is the eldest son in the family, his mother became

600
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 6: his responsibility, and so she moved in with us. Not

601
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 6: long after, we enrolled my daughter in a preschool in

602
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 6: the neighborhood. I was originally going to start job hunting

603
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 6: around this time. However, because of my mother in law,

604
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 6: I decided to delay going back to work so that

605
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 6: she wouldn't be alone.

606
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: During the day, which is very nice.

607
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 6: She was very curt and highly critical of me, but

608
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 6: I endured it because I was grateful to her and

609
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 6: my father in law, and out of love for my husband.

610
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 6: I was very kind and accommodating despite her behavior to me,

611
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 6: as I thought she would get better as she grieved,

612
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 6: but instead she got progressively more controlling, manipulative, and generally malicious.

613
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 6: Obvious disdain towards me started when I expressed that I

614
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 6: wanted to return to work. She accused me of being ungrateful,

615
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: trying to escape her, and not caring that she is

616
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 6: left alone all day, asking me if I expected her

617
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 6: to do all the housework while my husband and I

618
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 6: are both working. I decided to just commit to be

619
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 6: a stay at home mom as I thought that submitting

620
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 6: to my mother in law would solve the problem, and

621
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 6: it hasn't. For the past almost five years, my self

622
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 6: esteem has been chipped away at and I feel like

623
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 6: I'm at the end of the rope now. There are

624
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: just too many things to write in this format, so

625
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 6: I will just list some main points below. I gained

626
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 6: around thirty three pounds fifteen kilograms after giving birth, and

627
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 6: my mother in law constantly made comments about my weight

628
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 6: and tried to restrict me from eating certain foods like

629
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 6: rice and meats. I joined a city jogging club to

630
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 6: get exercise and because I myself wanted to lose a

631
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 6: bit of baby weight. I lost ten kilograms of the weight,

632
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 6: but I haven't been able to keep off the last

633
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 6: five kilograms eleven pounds. But I am pretty to all

634
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 6: five to seven, and I like how the extra curves

635
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 6: look on me. But my husband and mother in law

636
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 6: still tell me that I'm overweight, even though medically I

637
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 6: am far from an unhealthy body mass index.

638
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry your husband is saying that too. Bye bye,

639
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: you had a baby. You literally had a baby. You

640
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: had a child. You had a child, and your body

641
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: changed after it did an amazing thing, like that's how

642
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: bodies work.

643
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never comment on that. I should never even

644
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: if you didn't have a baby.

645
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

646
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 6: Mother in law is constantly making pointed comments about me,

647
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 6: from my cooking to the way I do laundry.

648
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: I wait what I wear.

649
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 6: For example, she accused me of trying to attract other

650
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 6: men because I wear spandex leggings to jogging meats. She

651
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 6: thinks it's inappropriate to wear a chiffon blouse only to

652
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 6: the store, even though she can't go outside without being

653
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 6: wrapped in designer brands. Or when I curl my hair

654
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 6: before going out, she'll say, which man are you meeting today.

655
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 6: She often wonders out loud why I'm not good at

656
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 6: anything of use. I heard my mother in law talking

657
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 6: on the phone with someone about how I still have

658
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 6: the trophy I received from winning a campus beauty contest

659
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 6: when I was in university. She told the person she

660
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 6: me is just lucky that her school only had four

661
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 6: thousand students. She wouldn't even touch the top ten at

662
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 6: why University, which has over thirty thousand students. The professors

663
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 6: in my my husband's department have dinner parties, and he

664
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 6: and his mother always tell me to diet before I

665
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 6: go so that I don't embarrass him by being the

666
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 6: thickest woman there at the dinners. My husband becomes annoyed

667
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 6: if I express my opinions or try to engage in

668
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 6: academic conversations. Even when the other men ask for my opinion,

669
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 6: he always pats my leg, which is his signal for

670
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 6: me to stop talking.

671
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm not in a place where I experience probably what

672
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: you're experiencing culturally. Yeah, so I can never understand exactly

673
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: what you're going through and how hard it is to

674
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: break from that. But my advice to you is to

675
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: leave your husband.

676
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can if you can.

677
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: You're not happy taking care of his mother. You seem

678
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: pretty young still, like you're at most maybe you know,

679
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: mid twenties, I would say probably, and he's probably like

680
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: mid thirties now. Like you have so much, you know, life,

681
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: you could do whatever you want. You do not have

682
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: to not pursue your dreams because he doesn't want you to.

683
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 6: I feel like a big issue could be if they

684
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 6: are in a country where it's like women's rights like that,

685
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 6: for getting the kid at all, that's a good point.

686
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 6: Any custody ability. I hope you have a son.

687
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah.

688
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 6: My husband always complains about his stresses to me, but

689
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 6: is always too tired to listen to my feelings or worries.

690
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 6: He blames me for the friction between my mother in

691
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: law and me and things. The problems will just disappear

692
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 6: if I ignore them for a long enough. While there

693
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 6: is no spicy related intimacy in the marriage. When I

694
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 6: try to initiate, my husband usually says he is too

695
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 6: tired or has no time, or initiated something that required

696
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 6: no effort on his part and was not stimulating to

697
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 6: me at all. When he was in the mood, it

698
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 6: was fast with little foreplay, and he only satisfied himself.

699
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 6: As a result, I have stopped trying to be intimate

700
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 6: with him and rebuff him when he tries to initiation

701
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 6: eight with me.

702
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 5: Uh.

703
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 6: Though I do receive a lot of attention from males,

704
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 6: I do not feel good about it because my own

705
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 6: husband does not act interested in me. Ninety five percent

706
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 6: of the time. I have wondered whether he is cheating

707
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 6: or if I don't look attractive to him because he

708
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 6: is around young girls all the time. This has really

709
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 6: hurt my self image because my husband used to say

710
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 6: I was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, and

711
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 6: now he only looks at me when he is in

712
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 6: the mood for quick, spicy sleep.

713
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: I just I.

714
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: Can't imagine that you're anywhere, like, at the very most,

715
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: you're thirty years old, yeah, in which case you're still young.

716
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, because what they were already like together at twenty two,

717
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 6: were together at twenty two, because well they met twenty

718
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 6: they met at twenty two.

719
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: And then have a kid. You know, so another kid

720
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: seems like still pretty young because she's a stay at

721
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: home mom with the kid.

722
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 6: Well, they put her into preschool, Okay, like five six Okay, so.

723
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: She's probably around twenty six to twenty eight. Yeah, girl,

724
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: so young, you're so young, You're so young.

725
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 6: My daughter what is starting to lose respect towards me

726
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 6: because of the way my husband and mother in law

727
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 6: treat me. She has started copying my mother in law's

728
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 6: habit of clicking her tongue at me.

729
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 3: She doesn't listen to me.

730
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 6: I have to ask her around three times to do

731
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 6: something before she does it. When she has upset at me,

732
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 6: she copies things that she has heard her grandmother say.

733
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 6: I feel like I am losing her. It was my

734
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 6: daughter's birthday last week, and my mother in law agreed

735
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 6: that I would make dinner for my daughter while she

736
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 6: would buy a dessert. But when I arrived home after Errand's,

737
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 6: my mother in law was in the process of preparing

738
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 6: a multi course meal. She told me she had changed

739
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 6: her mind and forgotten to call me, so I had

740
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 6: to run out and get a cake, even though it

741
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 6: was quite late. After dinner, I had to wash all

742
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 6: of the dishes and clean all of the vegetable and

743
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 6: meat scraps out of the sink while my daughter, mother

744
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 6: in law, and husband took a walk together without saying

745
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 6: anything to me. A few days later, I almost cheated

746
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 6: on my husband. A man from the running club, Justin,

747
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 6: who I had become acquainted with, told me that he

748
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 6: thought my hip flex or muscles were tight. He is

749
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 6: a personal trainer, and after the morning running finished, showed

750
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 6: me some stretches to doom. He said he had overheard

751
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 6: me telling another woman in the club that I was

752
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 6: craving Italian food, and he asked me to go to

753
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 6: his favorite Italian restaurant with him later that day. Honestly,

754
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 6: I should have noticed his intentions with me, his intentions

755
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 6: with me from the stretching excuse. But Justin is a tall,

756
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: swarthy and well built man that all the women like,

757
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 6: and I was admittedly flattered by his attention, so I accepted.

758
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 6: We met for lunch. He was very charming and I

759
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 6: flirted with him. He complimented me a lot, ended more

760
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 6: asking than telling. After lunch, he invited me to go

761
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 6: for a drive in his car, and I accepted at first,

762
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 6: but excused myself when I realized what I was doing.

763
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 6: I know what would have happened if I had gotten in.

764
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 6: I didn't think about my husband at all, just my daughter.

765
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: I confess to my husband immediately. Oh, I mean, how

766
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 6: do you feel about that? Because nothing happened? Yeah, well okay, okay.

767
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: If this were a good relationship, yes I'd be like, yes,

768
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: absolutely so good. And like, I still am not advocating

769
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: that opecheet at all, Like OPI needs to leave her relationship.

770
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: You still need to leave before anything happens.

771
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: But I feel like I left. So am going to

772
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: say like, oh, she should have done that. I think

773
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: she should have done it, but I think she is

774
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: trying to save the relationship that is, or save a

775
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: relationship that has already gone. Yeah, So I feel like

776
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: the solution is not tell him and try and fix it.

777
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: It's leave it because.

778
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 6: Almost we're like I had this feeling and because of that, yeah,

779
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 6: we're not working exactly. Part of me felt bad, and

780
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 6: part of me felt like this was the way out.

781
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 6: To my surprise, he broke down with tears and apologize.

782
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 6: He said he was wrong and begged me to stay

783
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 6: with him. He said he wouldn't tell his mother and

784
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 6: asked me to go to marriage counseling with him.

785
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 3: He said he would change, but I don't believe him.

786
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 6: I know he does not respect me or love me,

787
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 6: and from my meeting with Justin, I know that I

788
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 6: don't respect or love him either.

789
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: Good.

790
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 6: I am not interested in being with him. But the

791
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 6: one reason that I consider reconciliation.

792
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: Is for my daughter. We do have another update, But

793
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 3: what are your thoughts.

794
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: I think that you would be doing your daughter more

795
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: of a favor if you left, because you're already seeing

796
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: her adopting these negative views on motherhood. Yeah, from her

797
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: ma or from her grandma and her dad. They don't

798
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: respect you, and she's noticing and she's picking up on that.

799
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do wonder if the divorce would change any

800
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 6: of that.

801
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, leaving him would actually be a fix.

802
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 6: Like I'm almost just kind of like that might just

803
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 6: unfortunately be a.

804
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: Really totally totally could. But I feel like, right now, yeah,

805
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: she's already saying being told what to do.

806
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 6: Yes, and she will see you out with someone who

807
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 6: loves you and cares for you.

808
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: And if you don't want to teach her.

809
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 6: That this is okay, Yeah, give her good standards, yes, please, Okay,

810
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 6: we're gonna find out a bit more about their country's laws,

811
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 6: which will be good. In our country, divorce is somewhat

812
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 6: uncommon and kids from divided households are often subject to

813
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 6: bullying in school. I also love my daughter more than anything,

814
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 6: and I am terrified that she will hate me if

815
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 6: I leave my husband. At the same time, I cannot

816
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 6: tolerate my mother in law any longer. Even if I

817
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 6: go to marriage counseling, I am one hundred percent sure

818
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 6: that he would not agree to punt her out. I

819
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 6: am past the point of being thankful for the house

820
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 6: and the money.

821
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 3: She's made my life terrible.

822
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 6: I am so confused and conflicted about what to do,

823
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 6: and I'm sorry that this post is much longer than

824
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 6: I had planned. But I would really like advice that

825
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 6: comes from outside the view of my own culture.

826
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 3: Thank you.

827
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 6: So if anyone reads this, and that's the end.

828
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, my advice from outside the culture is divorce.

829
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 3: Divorce.

830
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: I truly think in the long run your your daughter

831
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: will benefit from the divorce, yeah, more so than she

832
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: will from, you know, maybe not getting bullied, but still

833
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: seeing her mother get bullied.

834
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 6: Sam here og host.

835
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to these stories. But here's three

836
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: minutes fads from our sponsors. First, my sister in law

837
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: kept giving unsolicited advice. Now I don't want to.

838
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: Hear my son give her worst advice.

839
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: I twenty eight female, had my son Kaisen, four months ago.

840
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: At twenty two weeks, I was diagnosed with partial placenta

841
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: previa and we were hoping and praying it would resolve.

842
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: But at twenty eight weeks I was told I have

843
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: complete placenta previa. By the way, this comes from prestigious

844
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: Ice seventy two ninety three and if you want to

845
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: spit your own stories, go to the rs slash Oakay

846
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: story time separate it. So this news hurt because I

847
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: had a birth plan, but my doctor's still closely monitored it,

848
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: even though he made it clear that there might be

849
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: less chance of resolving it and I might have a

850
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: sea section. At thirty five weeks, I had heavy bleeding,

851
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: so I delivered my beautiful baby boy through an emergency

852
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: sea section. My son was in the NICU for two

853
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: weeks before we got to go home. Two weeks ago,

854
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: there was a family party at my mother in law's house.

855
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: I was sitting in the ladies when Kai started crying,

856
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: so I breastfed him while chatting. Nobody had a problem

857
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: with that. Then after that I handed him to my

858
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: sister in law since she wanted to play with him.

859
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: While she was holding him, she said something. So they

860
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: started talking about my sister in law's labor and she

861
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: said it was a breeze. Then I said, oh, that's nice.

862
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: I hoped up a natural with my second someday. Then

863
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: she said a natural birth needs preparation during the whole pregnancy.

864
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: Then she went on to say, you never worked out

865
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: or got active much. So I told her it was

866
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: because of the placenta previous situation. This woman literally said,

867
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: that's not an excuse. Though I had round ligament pain

868
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: and I still managed to keep active, So that's different.

869
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: That's a different thing. You just said different words. You

870
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: said different, You said a different thing.

871
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: And why are we like bullying her for birth?

872
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: It's so weird. I told her I was kept on

873
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: bed rest half my pregnancy and had too many hospital visits,

874
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: so I didn't want to do anything to risk putting

875
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: myself in danger. Then she said, your body can feel

876
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: the nerves and it reads accordingly. You should have relaxed

877
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: and let nature take it course. That's how natural births work.

878
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: The the section was avoidable. I told her to f

879
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: herself and took my baby out of her arms and

880
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: went to my hobby. We left after apparently she told

881
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: anyone who asked where I am that I got sensitive

882
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: and left the party. After a few days, she asked

883
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: to see Kaysen and I said I'm not comfortable being

884
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: around her at the moment. She accused me of weaponizing

885
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: my son and using him to hurt her. Note the

886
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: whole pregnancy, she kept giving unsolicited advice on how to

887
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: fix the placenta previa, and I feel like she thinks

888
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: if I had listened to her, I would have had

889
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: kaison naturally. I felt sad for a few weeks after

890
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: birth because my birth plan didn't go how I wanted

891
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: it to. These feelings just feel like they resurfaced. To

892
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: be honest, I thought I was okay. Am I the

893
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: ale for grabbing him and not agreeing to visit her?

894
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: And there is an update? But what do you think? No,

895
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: you're not. I mean if she hasn't apologized for what

896
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: she said, you don't know her anything?

897
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, not at all? And like that's your own medical issue.

898
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, like what is she? She's not a doctor, she

899
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything, anything, nothing. But there is an update.

900
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: I made my post hours ago and I'm so overwhelmed

901
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: at the amount of support and kindness I've gotten. So

902
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: when I told my husband about what he did, I

903
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: didn't like his reaction. I told him exactly what happened,

904
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't want to interfere in women arguments, babe.

905
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: I then told him that he can at least ask

906
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: his sister to be sensitive about my experience, and he said,

907
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: why don't you too talk to my mom about it

908
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: so she sits you two down and have a mature discussion.

909
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: My husband knows sister in law is the apple of

910
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: my mother in law's eye, so she would side with her.

911
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: There have never been there has never been a need

912
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: for my mother in law to pick sides, but if

913
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: there ever was, we all know who she'd choose. I

914
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: told him that I would feel more comfortable if he's there,

915
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: but he said, it's a birth thing, so women should

916
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: discuss it. I mentioned in a comment on the original

917
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: post that my husband suggested therapy. He feels like the

918
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: only reason I was offended by sister in law is

919
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: because I have not gotten over the fact that I

920
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: had an emergency sea section. The reason that she was

921
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: offended by your sister is because your sister was.

922
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 3: Rude, and why does he sound mad that she had

923
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 3: a sea section?

924
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: Now, I mean he's right, but I just really want

925
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: him to talk to his sister. Is that so wrong?

926
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: I want his support and for him to make things

927
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: clear to her. If you're wondering whether I have a

928
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: support system like family, then no I don't. My parents

929
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: are in a different country and I live in my

930
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: husband's home country. I do have a few friends. That

931
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: is why I would appreciate all of your comments. And

932
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: there is a second update. But what should ope you do?

933
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 6: I'm like kind of torn because it sounds like you

934
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 6: need your husband to go to talk to the mother

935
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 6: in law, but he's not gonna.

936
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: He sounds scared of his own mother. I do need

937
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: to sit him down and say, hey, pregnancy is not

938
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: just a woman issue. This is we had a son together.

939
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: You were involved in this. Yeah it was my body.

940
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: But I need you to like, your sister is being

941
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: rude to me, and I would like you to tell

942
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: them not to be rude to me.

943
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: And yeah, and you're my husband, husband, I need I.

944
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: Need your partnership because right now I feel very unsupported. Yeah,

945
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: it's not it's not I'm not trying to. You know,

946
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: we're not being catty. It's not just this like silly,

947
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: immature thing that we're having a fight over. Your sister

948
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: made a rude comment and I would like to address it.

949
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't like that answer, then you say, hey,

950
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: we might need marriage counseling because you're not hearing me

951
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: update too. Hey everyone, First off, I would like to

952
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: thank you all for the support I got. I saw

953
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: some comments saying I named my son tragedyay with an eigh.

954
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: My husband and I agreed that I would pick the

955
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: first name and he would pick the middle name, so

956
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: we both get to name him. If you don't like

957
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: the name, then I don't know how to help you

958
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: with that. Besides, I did not want his first name

959
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: on the post, so I used his other name, Kaison.

960
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: I now realized that I could have just choose a

961
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: fake name. Today a lot happened. I talked to my

962
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: sister in law and mother in law, and I also

963
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: talked to my husband. It went terribly Actually, that is

964
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,919
Speaker 1: an understatement to what happened today. My talk with sister

965
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: in law and mother in law took place at my

966
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: mother in law's house at around ten am. I got

967
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: there and they were already there. Expected my hobby to

968
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: have gone with me, but he didn't. My sister in

969
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: law got to the point and asked me why I

970
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: was that sat with her. I reminded her all that

971
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: she said to me, and she said, what's I wrong? Though?

972
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: You're just offended that I spoke the truth. I remembered

973
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: all the advice I got from your comments, and I

974
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: told her what I had learned about placenta previa and

975
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: her misinformation. I also told her about the difference between

976
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: round ligament pain and placenta previa and what I went through.

977
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: She rolled her eyes and said, that's what doctors want

978
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: to do, so they make money off of c sections.

979
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about anything? I think your regular

980
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: birth would have still been very expensive. Girl, You don't.

981
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: It feels like you're just pulling things out of thin air.

982
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: My mother in law the whole time sat there defending

983
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: her and saying I shouldn't take it to heart. Well,

984
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: sister in law still stood on all she said. She

985
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: called me incompetent and sensitive. So I said some colorful

986
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: words and walked out. By the way I was baby wearing,

987
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: she grabbed my arm and pulled me, telling me she

988
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: isn't done talking and that I am walking away with

989
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: her nephew. I told her to let me go or

990
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 1: I'll get her arrested for handling me in that manner,

991
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: so she let go. I told them, when they are

992
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: ready to behave like adults, then they will see kaisu.

993
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: I was so scared of standing out for myself, but

994
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: I did it. My hands were shaking hellel. I got

995
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: home and Hubby wasn't there, so I got Kai to

996
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: take a nap and called my dad. I spilled everything

997
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: to him and he was furious. He told me to

998
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: either move out or fly back home. I told him

999
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: I have to talk to Hobby first and I will

1000
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: tell them how things go. When Hobby got home later

1001
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, I was breastfeeding. He came into the

1002
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,479
Speaker 1: living room and asked how the meeting went. I could

1003
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: tell he had a sour mood. I told him it

1004
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: went bad, and he told me, oh.

1005
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 3: I know.

1006
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: He told me that his mother is so hurt by

1007
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: my disrespect. I told him how they behaved and he

1008
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: told me that I'm trying to say his mother is

1009
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: a liar. So basically, his mom called and told him

1010
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: I was screaming and shouting at them. She told him

1011
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: I was hysterical and even rattled Kai up. Sister in

1012
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: law backed brother in law up, so it was like

1013
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: a tag team. I explained what actually happened, and he

1014
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: said all this drama wouldn't be happening if I didn't

1015
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: overreact to a few comments made at the party.

1016
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: I was shocked.

1017
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: I told him I thought he was supposed to defend me,

1018
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: and he said he can't ruin the relationship with his

1019
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: family because of my insecurities. I told him that I

1020
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: will leave with my son and go to people who

1021
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: actually care about me, and that my dad will book

1022
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: my fight. I walked away with Kaisen, and he grabbed

1023
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: my arm and said, his son goes nowhere. He told

1024
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: me he was tired of my continuous complaints about his family.

1025
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: He said if I was still hurt by those comments,

1026
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: then maybe I'm the problem and need to look into

1027
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,959
Speaker 1: fixing it. He brought up a few memories I don't

1028
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: want to mention, but just past experiences with his family.

1029
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: At this point, it was getting loud and Kai was crying,

1030
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: so I told how he to relax. He didn't. Let's

1031
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: just say the living room wall. Understood, he was angry,

1032
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: so I told him I want to go somewhere I

1033
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: feel safe. I left with Kai and we are currently

1034
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: in a hotel. I want to move to another city

1035
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: and start life fresh there. I can request for a transfer.

1036
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: My husband expresses himself audibly when angry, So what happened

1037
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: after that was so unusual and a shock. He has

1038
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: called me asking me to come home and that he

1039
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: was just frustrated. No, does not. No one punch his

1040
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: walls when they're You don't need to do that when

1041
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: you're frustrated, And.

1042
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 3: If he already did it to a wall, it will

1043
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 3: get worse. Yes, Nope.

1044
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he knows this account, and he knows about the posts.

1045
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 1: So he saw the comments that I got. He sent

1046
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: a message about how I let strangers on the internet

1047
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: get into my head and convince me against my family.

1048
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: He said he felt torn between supporting his sister and

1049
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: supporting me, and I can't blame him for not knowing

1050
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: which side to take.

1051
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 3: I can.

1052
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 6: That also means that he read all these comments fully

1053
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 6: siding with her and.

1054
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: Was like, how dare you They just I don't know

1055
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: the full story. There is a little bit left to

1056
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: this story.

1057
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 6: But do you have any final thoughts, nothing beyond I

1058
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 6: think you did what was good and you took your kid.

1059
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 6: You got out at the first sign of anything bad.

1060
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 6: I mean, maybe not the first sign, but the first

1061
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 6: sign of really bad. And uh, do not go back.

1062
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: Do not go back. Yeah, this is totally inappropriate behavior.

1063
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: Should not have your child around that. Go to your

1064
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: support system, go see your family. Yeah, this is not okay.

1065
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: But there is a little bit left to this story.

1066
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: I told him I don't want Kay to grow up

1067
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: in such an environment and stopped replying. I don't know

1068
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: if I was dramatic or did too much. I still

1069
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: don't understand why he got so angry and why he

1070
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: reacted that way. I also want to know why his

1071
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: mom and sister lied to him.

1072
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1073
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of uncertainty right now, but Kai and

1074
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: I are safe. I will talk to a lawyer about

1075
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: the next steps to take. I feel at peace. I

1076
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: have gone through so much in my five years of marriage.

1077
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: I now want to raise my son in a healthy environment.

1078
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for the support. Really, and folks, that is
