1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Angie and this is Keon, your favorite

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Okay Storytime host, and we've got great stories coming right up.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: But before that, we have a quick two minute break

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: from the sponsors that keep this show alive. My girlfriend

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: texted her boss that she wished he was her dad,

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: and I laughed. My girlfriend started a new job about

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: six months ago. She always talks about her boss. She

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: has a good relationship with him, and it was a

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: great first job. And it was the first job she

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: landed after leaving college. By the way, this comes from

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: Bubbly Principal ninety eight thirty four. And if you want

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: to submit your own stories, go to the r slash.

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: Okay Storytime is subburn it and I'm Angie, I'm Dakota,

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: and we're here to give you good advice. Goofly, But

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: we don't have all the answers. We just know what

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: we would do in this situation, So let us know

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: what you would do in the comments and op sets.

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: We were getting wasted and I was almost asleep when

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: she texted her boss that she wished she had been

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: her dad. She then realized what she had done and

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: shook me awake and showed me the text I couldn't

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: stop myself from laughing loudly. Her boss saw the text

23
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: and texted back, okay, thanks, and I saw that and

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: laughed again. I mean, what else is there to do.

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: We went to sleep and she woke up and apologized

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: to him. She is very upset with me, and she

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: is even more embarrassed now. She is mortified about what

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: he will think of her if even her own girlfriend

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: laughed at her, and she said she hated how I

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: reacted and it was not funny at all. I feel

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: really guilty because I know that her relationship with her

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: dad is terrible, and even if I was wasted, I

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: should have had the sense to not laugh like a

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: child when she was showing me something like embarrassing am

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: I the a whole judgment from the comments is that ope,

36
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: he is not the A hole. But here are some

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: of those comments. Asian in Germany says, not the a hole.

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: You were both wasted. I think she just doesn't want

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: to blame her wastedself for the embarrassment, and it's just

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: easier to redirect her anger towards your reaction. Soggy Landfill says,

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm riding off the back of this response. She made mistake.

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: She just doesn't want to admit fault because it's embarrassing.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: The more she makes it a thing, the longer it

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: will take for the weirdness to calm down. Rule number

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: one in drinking is ditch your phone anyway, Please call me.

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: Rain says she said she hated how I reacted and

47
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: it was not funny at all.

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: Yes it was.

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: This One comment says you are the a hole. This

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: is an embarrassing story you laugh about in a few years,

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: not as it's happening while your girlfriend is freaking out.

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: I get you were tired and probably hungover, so probably

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: not thinking straight, but you should definitely apologize. Yeah, I mean,

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: we've got an update, but I don't think you need

55
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: to wait a few years for this. You don't I

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: think that's funny, don't And if you don't think it's funny, ah, Well,

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: And I.

58
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: Don't think you need to be an a hole to

59
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: like feel like you can apologize for something. It's like

60
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: you can be like, well, I'm sorry that you know

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: I reacted that way and it upset you, and I

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: don't want to upset you. But I don't think you're

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: an a hole for reacting that way, because that's just

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: a normal way to react to something.

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, no, exactly exactly.

66
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: She's just like, man, it takes a lot to tell

67
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: your boss I feel like you're my father right right.

68
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: And then be like, mmm, well that's great.

69
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like okay, palay. We do have an update

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: from six days later. I did apologize for laughing, and

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: she said it wasn't my fault and she was just embarrassed.

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: She really didn't want to go back to work, but

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: forced herself to go to work. He did speak about

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: it with her. He told her that she was a

75
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: great employee and he liked her and told her to

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: forget about it. He also gave her some personal advice.

77
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: He told her that he understands why she felt that way,

78
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: as he had a bad relationship with his parents and

79
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: he had often been happy when people didn't yell at

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: him or and treated him with a modicum of respect.

81
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: He also told her that she needed to understand that

82
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: people treating her with respect in basic decency was not

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: a huge act of kindness or a favor she should

84
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: be grateful for, and it was very important to understand

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: that when people don't do that, it is usually their

86
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: fault rather than something inherently lacking in her perfect dad

87
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: response per perfect dad response, not beating the dad allegations

88
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: that we're here, mister boss man. Whatever. Yeah, he's you know,

89
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: I first of all, great response in general. So that

90
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: is that is speaking facts right there, and that's very

91
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: nice of him to say that. Still seem very dad

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: type move. So you know, I feel like, can't can't

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: blame her for one of him as her Yeah, it

94
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: is what it is. Text was said, and I own it.

95
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: You just we gotta move on.

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: You reply, thanks Dad.

97
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: Thanks literally, Yeah, there is a little bit more to

98
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: the story. I think I love her boss now. She

99
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: is so grateful and thankful when I do the most

100
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: basic good girlfriend crap with her. She is surprised and

101
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: happy when I don't yell when she f's up or

102
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: comfort her when she is sad. I have been telling

103
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: her the same thing, and so has her therapist, and

104
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: I think another person telling her that she deserves to

105
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: be treated well will help her. And there are a

106
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: few more comments. It says, wow, what a sweet update.

107
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: Thank you. Yes, your girlfriend hearing from multiple sources that

108
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: she is worthy of being respected and treated with dignity

109
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: is going to be helpful. Love self esteem is some

110
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: lifelong piece of baggage which is going to challenge us

111
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: at times. So having those great social supports significant other

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: therapists great boss is wonderful, and another commentaer says to

113
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: add having it come from her boss might help even more.

114
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: If she's in the mindset of my significant other therapists

115
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: have to say that there my significant other therapist, then

116
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: hearing it from someone who is under no perceived obligation

117
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: to say it might let the message sink in better.

118
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: Opie responds, Yeah, she doesn't believe me when I tell

119
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: her how great she is. Another commentary says he is

120
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: an excellent human being. I totally would have passed away

121
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: if I was your girlfriend, though Opie said she did

122
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: pass away a little bit and I had to convince

123
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 2: her to go to work. Alert Potato says, I missed

124
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: the original and just went back to it. I laughed

125
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: out loud at it. It's sad that her relationship with

126
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 2: her dad blows, but it's adorably heartwarming that her instinct,

127
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: when wasted, is to send a text basically telling her

128
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: boss how great he is. I also think I love

129
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: her boss. Opie says she is heart warming. I love

130
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: her so much. Seemingly Legit says, you know, her boss

131
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: does sound like a good guy. I get why she

132
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: wishes he was her dad. No, seriously, she shouldn't feel

133
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: bad about texting that. It's not like she was making

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: a drug tempt to flirt with him. That would be embarrassing.

135
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, agreed, that would be much worse.

136
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was totally wholesome and harmless. And that is

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: the end of that story.

138
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: I dumped my boyfriend because of the Barbie movie, and

139
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: everything that followed was chaos.

140
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to find out why.

141
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,159

Speaker 3: Three male over the Barbie Movie.

144
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 4: I literally don't know what to do right now, and

145
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 4: I feel so helpless turning to the internet for advice

146
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: or validation. But three days ago, my boyfriend and I

147
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,120

00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: liked Ryan Reynolds.

159
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry he liked who that's the wrong Ryan.

160
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: Other than Ryan Gosling being in the movie, my boyfriend

161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: didn't know anything else about it. I, on the other hand,

162
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 4: was aware of its feminist themes and was secretly hoping my.

163
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: Boyfriend would get the message.

164
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: Over the duration of the movie, I could tell he

165
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: was getting more and more uncomfortable and upset, and I

166
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: was getting really sad, both from the movie and his reaction.

167
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: I knew we would end up having a conversation about

168
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: it afterwards. He didn't talk to me until we got

169
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: in the car. He then told me that he was

170
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: really offended by the movie and said that it was

171
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: the kind of thing I should have watched with my

172
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: girlfriends and not him. I understood where he was coming from,

173
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: but I'm not even going to start explaining why I disagreed.

174
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: We'd been having problems with his weird comments and stuff

175
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: he would deem it a witch crap. Maybe it was

176
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: a long time coming, but this was the straw that

177
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: broke the camel's back. I was tired of having to

178
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: always deal with his attitude and disrespect, and was also

179
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: maybe on this girl power high, so I told him

180
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: it was over. The complicated part is this, he lives

181
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: with me, or lived He has been in between serving jobs,

182
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: and since he was my freaking boyfriend, I let him

183
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: move in with me six months ago. Living with him

184
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: as a whole other story. But I couldn't take it

185
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: anymore and had him leave my apartment.

186
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: The next day.

187
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: I stayed at my friend's house while he packed up

188
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 4: his stuff. He said he understood and that he didn't

189
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: want to live with me another second. Anyways, I assumed

190
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: he had a place to go, but apparently he didn't.

191
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: His brother called me a few hours ago saying he's mia.

192
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: His friends are blowing up my phone saying the same thing.

193
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: I feel like this is.

194
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: All my fault.

195
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: No one has heard from him in twenty four hours.

196
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: I did think it was weird when I came home

197
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: and all the food in the fridge was gone, all

198
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: the batteries in our electronic drawer was gone. He took

199
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: my phone charger and half the blankets. I now know

200
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: he he did not, in fact have anywhere to go

201
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: or a car. He had been using mine since his

202
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 4: engine busted last month. The worst part is we still

203
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: have his location and it's saying he has two states away.

204
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 4: I don't know how he got there. I can't believe

205
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: this is all because of the freaking Barbie movie?

206
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 3: Am I the a hole? And there's an update? But no,

207
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: you're not. No, you guys broke up, Like you said,

208
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: it was probably a long time coming.

209
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was living with you, that was already a

210
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: strained situation, I'm sure.

211
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

212
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: And yeah, if you were.

213
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Already scared of what his reaction to the Barbie movie

214
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: would be, I feel like that's already someone that you

215
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: shouldn't be around, like much less date. That's someone that

216
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: you should just stay far away from in general, even

217
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: if you were just friends, you know.

218
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's.

219
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: Like, look, does the Barbie movie have like man bashing

220
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: in it or patriarchy bashing in it?

221
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, if you can't let that.

222
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: Just roll off your back because it's a freakin' movie, right,

223
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: and that's it. If you're personally offended by the Barbie

224
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: movie and your girlfriend's enjoyment of it.

225
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, just be alone, Like, take a second on the corner. Okay,

226
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: you have to sit in the what you want your

227
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: mojo dojo coss house to do?

228
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have to sit in the mojo dojo,

229
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: the mojo dojo corner, Yeah, is where you belong right now.

230
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: Update before anything else. I wrote that post in a

231
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: frenzy of panic and guilt. With a clearer head, I

232
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: can recognize that, yes, we broke up because we were

233
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 4: incompatible and I was at my limit.

234
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: Not because of a movie boom.

235
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 4: Some people were saying I maybe needed the Barbie movie

236
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: more than he did, since I was clearly dating a bigot,

237
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: and to that I agree. I was convinced I loved him,

238
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 4: but I think I just didn't really understand my value

239
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: or feel deserving of someone bettered. I've learned my lesson,

240
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: and as a woman of color, we'll never let myself

241
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: be treated like that again. My biggest regret is that

242
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: my loved ones had to endure him as well.

243
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 5: Well.

244
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: I've been cheated on before, but I usually find out

245
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: and then we break up. Since I found out about

246
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: my exes cheating after I broke up with him. I'm

247
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: not exactly torn up about it. I feel like I

248
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: skipped the questioning in sadness and went straight to the

249
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: over it. But since I have everyone's attention, I'm just

250
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: going to put him on blast right now.

251
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: Oh my God, name drop him.

252
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

253
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: I can confidently say his beliefs were the worst part

254
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: about him, and I'm not extremely surprised that he didn't

255
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: respect me enough to be loyal, but the way I

256
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 4: found out was actually kind of funny. His brother has

257
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 4: been keeping me semi updated on the missing Ken situation,

258
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: but I haven't really been asking any questions other than

259
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 4: how he and his family are doing. They're not mad

260
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: at me, as they're aware of the situation. His brother

261
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: even thanked me for taking care of him for as

262
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: long as I did. He texted me this morning around

263
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 4: nine saying we don't need to worry anymore because he's

264
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 4: at their cousin's house in Colorado Springs. Then around twelve

265
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: in the afternoon, I got multiple calls from a friend

266
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: of his saying that he heard from my ex. His

267
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: friend sucks so much. I'm not even going to get

268
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 4: into it. I really supremely regret giving him my number.

269
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: He was obviously under the influence of some sort Not

270
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 4: to judge, but it was literally twelve pm at this point,

271
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: and he's telling me stuff like he is literally so

272
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 4: much happier now that you let him go, and that

273
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: he just felt bad for me and that I was

274
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: charity work.

275
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: Then he said, now he can be with his mane

276
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 3: for real. Uh, your ex is getting some real kitty now.

277
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 4: I asked him to clarify, and he gave me that

278
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: oh she laughing guy thing they do and they say

279
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 4: something they weren't supposed to.

280
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: Then he said f me and hung up.

281
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: This is like so just like deeply annoying.

282
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, just what an annoying guy.

283
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: I know, like exactly the type of guy that this is.

284
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: And I feel nauseous you're about it.

285
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

286
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: The potentially craziest part that it's been getting to me

287
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 4: is that he is definitely at his cousin's house.

288
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,479
Speaker 3: His brother confirmed.

289
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: I think I'm going crazy because I've seen his cousin

290
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: on his Insta feed before and she's literally stunning. He said,

291
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: she's his second cousin, and I don't really know how

292
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: related they are. If this is real, I can't even

293
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: comprehend what this means. Maybe it's not real, I don't know,

294
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: but I think it's the perfect ending to this story.

295
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 4: He's getting a little cousin loving, going.

296
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: On h ooh, stating on you with his cousin. Yes,

297
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: oh my god.

298
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: But hey, you're you're, you're moving on you You're you're

299
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: gonna forget about this guy, yeah, and everything.

300
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: Your life's gonna be better for it.

301
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think you need to just be thankful of

302
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: the Barbie movie. I think if Greta Gerwig found out

303
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: that people have broken up with their boyfriends over that movie,

304
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: I think she would be like, ah, my work is done.

305
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: It was that was that was the purpose of my

306
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: aunt is to all the bad boyfriends.

307
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: Let's finish this story.

308
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna update anymore after this because I feel

309
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: like I'm already gonna regret this update. But final notes,

310
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: he must have taken all the stuff from the house

311
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: out of spite. I found out he took the batteries

312
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: from the remotes and.

313
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: My hair dryer too.

314
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: I don't know how he got to his cousin's house.

315
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 4: I didn't ask or what happened to my dice in

316
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: air rap. But maybe his cousin or girlfriend is using

317
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: it now. In the spirit of Barbie, she can have it,

318
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 4: I guess. And yes I know, I said Ryan Reynolds

319
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: when it was Ryan Gosling like that. One comment said,

320
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: facial blindness is real.

321
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: That's all. I still don't for give you for that,

322
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: but that is the end of that story.

323
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: That's so funny because I didn't even like catch it.

324
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: My boyfriend tried to control what I wear, so I

325
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: dumped him, get him out of there. Me, eighteen female

326
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: and my boyfriend, eighteen male, have been in a relationship

327
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: for nearly a year. I know he can be jealous sometimes,

328
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: but I didn't think it could be bad. At times,

329
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: all I thought was that he was taking care of

330
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: me and that he loved me. By the way, this

331
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: comes from Larer bar one hundred thousand and if you

332
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: don't submit your own stories, go to the r slash

333
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: Okay storytime severed it and I'm Angie, I'm Dakoto, and

334
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: we're here to give good advice Goofley. But we don't

335
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: have all the answers. We just know what we would

336
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: do in this situation. So let us know what you

337
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: would do in the comments, so Opie says. Now, as

338
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: it was my eighteenth couple weeks back, I decided I

339
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: wanted to go to a club and have my first

340
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: legal drink out with some of my friends. Yesterday, my

341
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: boyfriend told me to cover up as my outfit was

342
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: way too revealing. It was a Hollister green dress. The

343
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: strap on the dress was two to three fingers wide

344
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: and it was the middle of my upper thigh, so

345
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: I thought it wasn't that bad. I told him that

346
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: i'd cover up in a second to soothe his mind,

347
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: as I was doing my makeup at the time and

348
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been able to do it if I

349
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: was wearing the jacket he asked me to wear. He

350
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: left my house my parents were away on holiday and

351
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: he was staying at mine, and went to go around

352
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: his friend's house for the night as I wouldn't be

353
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: home for a while. Before he left, he told me

354
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: again to cover up. I told him I would and

355
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: not to worry. At around eight thirty, my friends came

356
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: to my house for shots before we went out, and

357
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: we ended up leaving the house tipsy. I forgot to

358
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: bring the jacket he asked me to bring, but I

359
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: brought a cardigan that was smaller yet had the same

360
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: qualities as the jacket, and complimented my outfit better. I

361
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: had a lovely time out with my friends and came

362
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: back home around three am. I slept in until one

363
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: pm when I heard banging on the door. It turned

364
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: out to be my boyfriend, as he had seen one

365
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: of my friends instaposts from last night. He saw me

366
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: wearing the cardigan and not the coat, and he flew

367
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: into a rage about me disrespecting his boundaries. Okay, I

368
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: will throw this phone.

369
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: You say bye, and I can't wait for you to

370
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: say bye to this little boy.

371
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: I told him that I wore something to cover myself

372
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: up and asked why he was so mad. He told

373
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: me that I didn't wear enough and that I was

374
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: just trying to sleep with all the guys in the globe.

375
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: The argument carried on like this, with him saying that

376
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: I wanted to sleep with everyone. I ended up saying

377
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: to him that he was too controlling and that I

378
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: had covered up, but he was still annoyed, so what

379
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: should I have done? He stopped speaking and told me

380
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: that I wasn't thinking straight in that situation. He said,

381
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: calling him controlling was out of line and that I

382
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: needed to learn a lesson.

383
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: Heyo.

384
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: I told him to get out of my house and

385
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: that we would talk later about this. He has now

386
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: told everyone that I'm a B word, and I've had

387
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: some nasty messages from some of my friends. Amma the

388
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: able for calling him controlling about me covering up. Advice

389
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: is needed to know what to do next, as I

390
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: want to salvage the relationship, but I don't know if

391
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: I'm able to by the way, things like this have

392
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 2: happened before, and there are some comments coming. Number one says,

393
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: don't try to salvage this. This is a giant red

394
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: flag and he will only get more controlling. Run and

395
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: someone else responds, Also tell your parents so they know

396
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: to change the locks and get extra security. Not only

397
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: did he come by practically trying to knock your door

398
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: down because checknotes you were wearing eight card again, but

399
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: then when you set the relationship can't continue. He sent

400
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: his flying monkeys after you op. He says, I've punted

401
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: him out and he's not got any keys. If I'm

402
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: in the house with him, I will text my friends

403
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: to come get me. Comment number two. Learn this when

404
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: you're eighteen and save yourself decades of being with him.

405
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: Jealousy is never taking care of you and loving you.

406
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: It's about taking care of himself and possessing you. Never

407
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: be with someone who thinks they can tell you what

408
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: to do or where someone else responds yes, and it

409
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: isn't about love. They want to possess you. It's about

410
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: having power over you. When they act like this, it

411
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: demonstrates just how much these men don't think women are

412
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: fully human and have full autonomy over themselves. Someone else responds, Also,

413
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: a person can have boundaries to protect themselves. Ask yourself

414
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: why he needs a boundary that involves your clothing. There

415
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: is an edit. After seeing some of your reactions to this,

416
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: I decided to break up with him. I told him

417
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: that he was too controlling and that if he wanted

418
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 2: to keep me, then he'd have to work on that.

419
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: He got mad at me and told me that I

420
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: had no place breaking up with him when I was

421
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: dressing like a like a or uh oh.

422
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 4: You and your Harlot Cardigain have no place breaking up

423
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: with me.

424
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: It is I who break up with you. I was

425
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: too stunned to speak. It just blocked him. Over the

426
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: last few minutes, I've had a barrage of messages from

427
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: his friends who I've also blocked. I'll block him later

428
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: after I've spent some more as I have a hangover.

429
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: Or of times. Why why unblock him?

430
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: Just keep him blocked, it says, to see if the

431
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: relationship is salvageable after he's cooled down. No, but the

432
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: relationship will not stay this way.

433
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: No, don't no, No, it's not it's over. It's over.

434
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: He broke up.

435
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: It's over.

436
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: Don't salvage it, because, yeah, this isn't something that's just

437
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: gonna like magically change. Yeah, especially after like a few

438
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: days after your hangover is done. He's not gonna When.

439
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: You salvage like a totaled car, it's because you can't

440
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 4: repair it. You rip it apart and you sell the

441
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: components that can be sold and still used.

442
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: Exactly, there is no need to fix this.

443
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's just no no ability. He doesn't. It's all

444
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: about the self soothing.

445
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go, if you go back after this,

446
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: it's gonna get worse.

447
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: Truly, because it's just like that's just what happens when

448
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: people get jealous. It's like it's not it truly isn't

449
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: about you, like the commenters were saying, but like like

450
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 2: it's truly just Oh, he feels insecure about himself, so

451
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 2: that means you need to change, not him. He doesn't

452
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: to change, even though it's his own insecurity, right, and

453
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: that's that's not going to change if you give him

454
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: another chance, he's just going to fall into.

455
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 3: You're in a double down.

456
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will keep you updated if anything happens. Thank you.

457
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: Edit number two. I've slept better now and read all

458
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: your comments about the situation. I still have a headache,

459
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: which is funny as I got rid of a five

460
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: to eleven Brunette one yesterday and I saw all the comments.

461
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: I saw all the comments about not blocking him, so

462
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: I have deleted his number.

463
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 3: Let's go.

464
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: But of course with guys like him, he'll try to

465
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 2: get through to me some way or another. He texted

466
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: me begging for another chance on every social account. This

467
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: was in private, but I looked on his account and

468
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: it was all the life is better now without her

469
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: type posts. I blocked him on everything except for the

470
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: yellow app because I needed the snapscore. Lol. You keeping

471
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: your snapscore with him means that you have to snap

472
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: him every day. Yeah, don't feel like that's the complete

473
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: opposite of blocking him.

474
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: Don't don't be doing that.

475
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: Just you, I know you're eighteen. Yeah, you don't need

476
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: a snapscore. You do not. There's nothing that will come

477
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: of it. Who are you gonna tell? Oh, look, friends,

478
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: I have a two year long record with my ex boyfriend,

479
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: my terrible ex. Yeah, no, no, this is.

480
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: This is a great lesson to learn at eighteen about

481
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: when to cut your losses.

482
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: Yes, this is where you cut them. And you know

483
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 3: what if you lose the napscore?

484
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: Oh well, oh well, that is a thing that doesn't

485
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: matter to any real degree ever at all.

486
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't and it shouldn't matter to you. Please block him.

487
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: But there's a little bit more to the story. I've

488
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: told my parents about the situation, and they've paid to

489
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: get the locks changed just in case he printed a

490
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: key that we don't know about. They told me that

491
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: they were so proud of me for breaking up with him,

492
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: and that they'd shower me with presents when they get back. Now,

493
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: for my friends, I told them about the situation and

494
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: how it all went down, and they were all just

495
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 2: so supportive of me. But I have to tell you

496
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: something so disgusting. But I got told by one of

497
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: my friends we had been followed by one of my

498
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: ex boyfriend's friends.

499
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: Ugh.

500
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: In all of the photos from that night, the friend

501
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: was in the background. This is the same friend he

502
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: went to hang out with. So I'm pretty sure I

503
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: was being stalked by my ex that night. And that's

504
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: the end of this story. We're going on to the

505
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: next one.

506
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: I refuse to wear my engagement ring because it lost

507
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 4: its purpose.

508
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're not getting married, don't wear it.

509
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 4: I thirty two female, love my boyfriend forty male, and

510
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 4: we have been together for five years, living together for

511
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: four We have a nice relationship.

512
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: I love him deeply and I know he loves me.

513
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 4: By the way, this comes from user unusual Candy eighty

514
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: four oh seven. And if you want us to meet

515
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: your own stories, go to the r slashowcase storytime sub

516
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 4: burd it. I'm Dakota, I'm Angie, and we're here to

517
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: give you good advice.

518
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: Goofully.

519
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 4: But we don't have all the answers. We only know

520
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: what we do, So let us know what you would do.

521
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 4: In the comments, and op says, I have been through

522
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 4: heck and back over the past two years after my

523
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: mom passed, and he has truly shown me what being

524
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 4: loved and supported feels like. However, if I had to

525
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: pick what bothers me the most about it, it is his

526
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 4: lack of initiative to move our relationship forward. When we

527
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 4: had been dating for a year and he slept at

528
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 4: my place every night, I was the one who suggested, Hey,

529
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 4: why are we both paying rent? Let's just pick a

530
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: place that way we can save up for a down payment.

531
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 4: He was hesitant, but ultimately agreed and now constantly says

532
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 4: it was the best decision of his life. Then, for

533
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: talking about having children, I was the one who brought

534
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 4: it up every difficult conversation or thing that needs to

535
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: move us forward to that life that he always says

536
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 4: he also wants. I have to initiate, otherwise it seems

537
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 4: like it would never happen. He just says he wants things,

538
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: but then doesn't do anything to make them happen until

539
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: I ask. The engagement ring is where I draw the line.

540
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 4: I'm not going to ask for an engagement ring, especially

541
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 4: after five years. He keeps mentioning that he's looking and

542
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 4: that he's saving. I always tell him whatever is fine, sweetie.

543
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 4: I just want you to reassure him. I know, unless

544
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: I specifically ask for it, he will procrastinate. This to

545
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: the day before the wedding, if at all. We talked

546
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: about getting married next year. We hired a planner, have

547
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: discussed things with family, and he told his siblings and

548
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 4: closest friends, and he calls me his fiance. I know

549
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 4: it may be shallow, but it bothers me that people know.

550
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 4: He never gave me a ring. Three months ago. He

551
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 4: said he was going to see rings the next weekend

552
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 4: and I told him, what for now, it kind of

553
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 4: lost its purpose. He said he wanted to give me

554
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: something special, so he saved a lot, and that after all,

555
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: it was just a present, so I should be grateful.

556
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 4: The minute he said it, he knew he screwed up. Yeah,

557
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 4: I told him, don't bother. I'll never wear the stupid ring.

558
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: He bought it anyway, got me flowers and apologized. I

559
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 4: accepted the apologies, but I told him I meant it

560
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 4: about the ring. He can keep it. I have not

561
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 4: even seen the box opened. It is still in my nightstand.

562
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 4: My sister says, I'm being shallow and low key a

563
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: fool because the ring is expensive, so I should just

564
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 4: tank at even though I'm not hurting for money.

565
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: I do not want that ring.

566
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 4: It is a symbol that I fell in love with

567
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: a guy who leaves the responsibility of initiating everything to me,

568
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: which is painful because it feels like he doesn't want

569
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: those things. However, he seems truly offended by me not

570
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 4: wearing it. Am I being shallow? And there are comments?

571
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 4: Comment one unclear why you would want to get married

572
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 4: give in this situation. You seem unhappy, he seems unhappy.

573
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 4: It sounds like you planned to get married because it's

574
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: the next thing to do. Comment two says you should

575
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 4: not get married. It seems you have some sort of

576
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: resentment towards him. You wanted the ring but gave him

577
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 4: mixed signals because you wanted him to be the one

578
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: to get it for you, as you can't say one

579
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 4: thing and mean another and expect him to be a

580
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 4: mind reader. This seems so petty that it must be

581
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 4: something deeper that is pissing you off. Comment three Honestly,

582
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: if you plan on spending the rest of your life

583
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: with him, you need to get over it and wear

584
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: the ring you fell in love with him, warts and all.

585
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 4: Just enjoy your life and let this go. And if

586
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 4: you can't, maybe you shouldn't marry him. I wish you

587
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: good luck and hope it works out for you. A

588
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 4: reply says, I think she is probably thinking he doesn't

589
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 4: really want to do this reply. I think he doesn't

590
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: feel he'll meet her expectations. And there's an update that is,

591
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 4: y'all are giving this.

592
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 3: Guy too much grace.

593
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can I see this guy.

594
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

595
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: I was a floater. Yeah, I was a floater, and

596
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 4: this guy's floating floating. This guy's just saying, oh whatever, Hey,

597
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: I'm just going with the flow man.

598
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

599
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 4: And uh, you gotta be you know, you gotta you

600
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 4: gotta have a little enthusiasm about I don't know, finding

601
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: your life partner.

602
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: Right, you gonta like mash the vibe. We gotta go

603
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: with the flow, no mo.

604
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is an update. I asked the internet and

605
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 4: the Internet delivered.

606
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: Lol.

607
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 4: My partner is wonderful, and I would not have enough

608
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 4: space here to describe how wonderful. But he has this

609
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: flaw and I have others that drive me crazy and

610
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: I probably do not know how to handle it. He

611
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 4: is like this with decisions in his life in general,

612
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 4: not just with me, but of course it only bothers

613
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 4: me this much with things related to our relationship. His mom,

614
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 4: who I have a great relationship with, is the one

615
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: who suggested having a wedding in spring for the first time.

616
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 4: I didn't suggest that because the priests who married her

617
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: would be back in town. We both thought this was

618
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: a cute idea. I am not planning a wedding on

619
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: my own. He is very much into it, pushing for

620
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 4: it and picking the band and paying extra because he

621
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 4: wants a cigar station, and fighting because I do not

622
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: want kids there and he wants kids and dogs. He

623
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 4: is happy and excited about this wedding, but again, without

624
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 4: his mom's intervention, this would not be happening. The same

625
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 4: goes for his career, his health, and every major purchase.

626
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 4: His family is aware of this and constantly pushing him,

627
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 4: but apparently I cannot do it without keeping resentment. I

628
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 4: have discussed this with him in the past to try

629
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 4: to understand. He says it is not on purpose and

630
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: that I read too much into things. Floater floating, floater

631
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 4: fluter You can't just go, oh, I don't mean to

632
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 4: do this. Yeah, you have to go, oh, well, I

633
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: don't mean to do this. So I will make changes, Yeah,

634
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 4: to be more aware of when I do this.

635
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: Also what I mean with my actions.

636
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 4: I will take steps to change my behavior. Yeah, be

637
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 4: more proactive in my own life.

638
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, clearly not doing that.

639
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 4: When we bought our home, after his dad suggested many

640
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: times we could afford it and to stop renting, he

641
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 4: came to the house saying, Babe, let's not renew the lease.

642
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: What do you think if we look for a place.

643
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: I got so happy and then disappointed when I later

644
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: learned it was his dad's idea. Of course I had

645
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: to get the realtor and find the house and schedule

646
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 4: the viewings.

647
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: Et cetera.

648
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: Because all he did was complain about the lease is

649
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 4: about to be over and we have nothing without actually

650
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: making it happen. I think you might not want to

651
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: break up, but I think marriage needs to be put

652
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: on hold.

653
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: I agree, because then, I mean, you know, if you

654
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: get married, you're gonna probably be thinking about a family.

655
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you guys want kids. I mean imagine if

656
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: he's like, oh my god, the kids don't have their

657
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: bags together for school and you're like, okay, do something

658
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: about it. Then, like that's your their dad.

659
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: I think we need to find a more Uh.

660
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 4: There needs to be more equity in terms of the

661
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 4: responsibility in the relationship. And he needs to be able

662
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: to take responsibility for his own personal stuff before he's

663
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 4: ready to be married. Like, you know, it's not something

664
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: you should just do because it's like the thing you

665
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 4: do now. It's like it needs to be it needs

666
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: to make sense, it needs to be feel right right,

667
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: it's so far it feels wrong autely, and I'm sure

668
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: you know you're saying he's a good partner in all

669
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 4: these other ways.

670
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: That's fine.

671
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 4: I again, I don't think you need to necessarily break

672
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: up over this, but like I don't think that it's

673
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: like all right, we need to be married.

674
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: And sign up for that for life.

675
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he's you know, just not able to I

676
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: don't even know what that like, pull his own weight,

677
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 4: you know.

678
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: Like just practically like in any sort of way, he

679
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: needs to be able to take care of himself.

680
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's finish this story.

681
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 4: My mom, who also loved him, used to tell me

682
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: to accept him as he is because he accepts me

683
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: and I am no walk in the park either.

684
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: I understand this. However, it bothers me. I do not

685
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: know why to this extent, but it does. He is

686
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: hard working and does his house.

687
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: By the way, before anyone calls him lazy, the thing

688
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: is that I also work very hard and do my

689
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: house chores. Why do I also have to plan vacations

690
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: or be the one who has the idea in the

691
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 4: first place. He doesn't initiate things. That is the issue,

692
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 4: not any of the other stuff suggested in the comments.

693
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 4: I still appreciate the responses, though superficial, and that is

694
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 4: the end of that story.

695
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: I accidentally proposed during New Year's Eve and now I

696
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: want the ring back.

697
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: It's too late.

698
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm seeing someone else and wanted to break up with her.

699
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: That's how you're starting this, Okay. I bought the ring

700
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: for a work colleague, wasn't planning to propose until the

701
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: holiday we planned. By the way, this comes from user

702
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: proper mistake, regret, and if you want to submit your

703
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: own stories, go do the r slash. Okay, story time

704
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: zub bred it. I'm key on, I'm Carly, and we're

705
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: here to give good advice goofily, But we don't have

706
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: all the answers. We only know what we do, So

707
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: let us know what you do in the comments, pretty

708
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: pretty please. During New Year's Eve, I have proposed to

709
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: my girlfriend. It's been posted on my friends social media,

710
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's social media, and everywhere else. I saw people proposing,

711
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: so I wanted to go with the flow and propose

712
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: to my girlfriend, whilst partially pissed. Can I get the

713
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: ring back? And canceled the engagement?

714
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: Please?

715
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: We have some comments? Yea, right, what is this?

716
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 5: So he was seeing somebody else? Yes, but proposed because

717
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 5: everybody else was doing it. Yeah, and now like really

718
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 5: doesn't want.

719
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: To and you and now you're upset with your decision

720
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: to do this.

721
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I say, boohoo, break up with her, Let her

722
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: keep the dang ring.

723
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: I say, what are you doing?

724
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 5: Uh?

725
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: Top comment here by deleted. Not been bothering with you know,

726
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: online over the holidays. But it's nice to come back

727
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: to an early nominee for stupidest post of the year,

728
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 1: especially so early on. Let me check it if I

729
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: got this straight. You were planning proposing to a work

730
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: colleague when you go on holiday, despite the fact you're

731
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: still seeing someone you class as your girlfriend. Hover in

732
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: a twist of fate, you took the engagement ring out

733
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: with you on New Year's Eve. Either that or you

734
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: took the wrong girlfriend out. Either way, mistakes were made,

735
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: and those mistakes were compounded when you got caught up

736
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: in that the heat of the other people's affection and

737
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: proposed to your wrong girlfriend.

738
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 5: Crazy thing though, is that, like, honestly, it's kind of

739
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 5: crazy to me that she said yes then, because that

740
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 5: just implies that they actually were like probably pretty deep

741
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 5: into a relationship and probably had like potentially talked about

742
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 5: this before.

743
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm also thinking potentially because because it's New Year's Eve,

744
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, adult beverages were involved

745
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: and excitement, but still besides the fact you're gross, dude. Yeah,

746
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: and now you want legal advice on whether you can

747
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: get the ring back so you don't have to buy

748
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: another ring and cantad give your intended fiance your accidental

749
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: fiance's ring. Well, from a legal perspective, your crap out

750
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: of luck, because a gift is a gift, even when

751
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: you give a gift from a moron. However, there is

752
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: a solution. Tell your current accidental fiance about the mistake.

753
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: Honesty may actually be your best Pausey here, because I

754
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: suspect that the realization that you are such an utter

755
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: fungus of a person will lead her to take the

756
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 1: ring off and fling it.

757
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly true. I think the only way you're getting

758
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 5: that ring back is by actually telling her that you're

759
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 5: cheating on her.

760
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: What if she's into it, She's like, you're gross, I

761
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: want to marry you more. If you're lucky, you may

762
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: be able to find it and then can give your

763
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: ex fiance sloppy seconds to your bit on the side,

764
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: and what a lucky girl she will be. Another relevant

765
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: comment here by Dusty Pilgrim. Legally the ring belongs to

766
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: drum Roll her unless you place conditions on it when

767
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: giving it to her. If you were so wasted that

768
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: you lack legal capacity to make a gift, then that

769
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: could be grounds for getting it back. Unless the ring

770
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: cost a fortune, lawyers aren't going to get involved, and

771
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: you will have to resolve this between you. OPI responds with,

772
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: I spent about eighteen hundred on the ring and I

773
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: can't get it back. What's legal capacity? I wouldn't be

774
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: able to drive in terms of how wasted I was?

775
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: I fed myself, haven't I? Another commenter says, cy JG

776
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: eight says the common law test for capacity to make

777
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: a gift was set out in Ra Beanie nineteen seventy

778
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: eight one WLR seven seven zero. Look that up if

779
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: you want him. The question is whether the person making

780
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: it was capable of understanding the effect of the deed

781
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: when its general purpose had been fully explained to him. Furthermore,

782
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: in other legal terms, you understood the gift was given

783
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 1: as an engagement ring, you were of legally sound enough

784
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: mine to have made the gift. In my view, Opie says,

785
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: how am I going to propose to my work colleague? Then, Bro,

786
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: you're an idiot, that's your thing?

787
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 5: That's like, well, yes, his only were he doesn't want

788
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 5: to buy another.

789
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: Little The only question is said, wait, with all that

790
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: mumbo jumbo you just told me, how am I going

791
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: to propose to my work call?

792
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 5: Accidentally take a ring out and propose to the wrong person?

793
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: Hope, he says, We're going on holiday and I won't

794
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: have a ring. What happens if I take the ring

795
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: from her without her knowing? We live together at the moment,

796
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: so I could easily do it. It's not theft, really

797
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: is it? I mean I bought it? Side JG responds with,

798
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: it's not theft. Really isn't it? One of theft AC

799
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight.

800
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: This guy knows.

801
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: This guy's a lawyer. Okay, this guy has to be

802
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: a lawyer. A person is guilty of theft if he

803
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of

804
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: permanently depriving the other of it. It means the definition

805
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: the ring is no longer your property since you gave

806
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: it away, And I frankly see a jury swinging that

807
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: was fairly easily I hope. He responds with, doesn't seem

808
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: fair to me. That's something I bought which I accidentally

809
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: gave can be classified as theft. I spent eighteen hundred

810
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: pounds on the ring. Doesn't the law take that into

811
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: a fact of accidents mistakes?

812
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 6: What if I honestly thought that the ring was you

813
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 6: actually thought that the ring sized down to a woman's

814
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 6: finger that looks like an engagement ring that was called

815
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 6: an engagement ring, that was given as an engagement ring

816
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 6: that she knows to be an engagement ring or suddenly

817
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 6: is yours.

818
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: Either this is the biggest rage bait ever or Opie,

819
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: you are one of the most cluelest people out there.

820
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 5: No, this has gotta be rage bait. I refuse to

821
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 5: believe this is real.

822
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: It's like saying, you know, I had a car for

823
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: my girlfriend, but I gave the car to my work

824
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: girlfriend and she drove off with it. But it's my car,

825
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: but I put her name and everything in her name.

826
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: It's her car, but I bought it. Can I get

827
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: it back?

828
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 5: So dumb?

829
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: Another comment here by is that Afinka Wan says nothing

830
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: accidental about it. You got pissed and made a stupid decision.

831
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: Taking something that belongs to someone else without their permission

832
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: is theft. Dusty Pilgrim also says, of course it would

833
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: be theft, and Opie says, but I bought it. It

834
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: sounds like a child I think. Gowan says he is lpt.

835
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: If you don't want someone else to have something, don't

836
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: give it to them. Opier says, gave it to her

837
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: while I was wasted. Sounds like a youth problem. My guy,

838
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: I Finko Wan says, probably best to avoid getting wasted

839
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: with eighteen hundred rings in your pocket in the future.

840
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: Update on wanting to cancel the engagement with my girlfriend

841
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: and getting the ring back. I have had a long

842
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: and hard think to myself, and I decided to hand

843
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: in my four week notice to my boss and start afresh.

844
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: I think it's best my girlfriend doesn't find out about

845
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: the affair I've been having. So I've spoke to my

846
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: colleague and I told her I'm not going on holiday

847
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: with her, and I've ended it with her. I've known

848
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: my girlfriend longer, and my mom gave me a call

849
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: saying she's happy. She's always wanted grandchildren and whatnot, so

850
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: I didn't want to disappoint my mom.

851
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 5: No, no, tell this girl and get out. I know

852
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 5: it's so rage bay, I know it's fake, little effing

853
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 5: mommy's boy.

854
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to marry my girlfriend. Why you don't

855
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: even want to?

856
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: Don't do that to her.

857
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 5: You're achey, gross, and she's probably hot.

858
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: She already planned out the wedding venue on her MacBook

859
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: and she hid it from me, so I didn't want

860
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: to upset her. I'm losing brain cells reading this.

861
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, his dumb incompetence is making me stupider. By the second,

862
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 5: so let's.

863
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: Go ahead and finish this. Genuinely, I feel bad if

864
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: I were to break up with her. She's been buzzing

865
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: all day, calling all her friends saying she's getting married

866
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: and taking photos over her ring, etc. I think this

867
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: is the right thing to do, just worried that my

868
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: colleague will somehow get a hold of my girlfriend and

869
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: tell her about the times we've slept together. That's my

870
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: final decision, and I think I'll stick to that.

871
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 5: I think you might actually be the dumbest person I've

872
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 5: ever heard speak.

873
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: And we have some final comments. Lord of the Peso says,

874
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: if you don't own your truth now, be prepared for

875
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: it to come back and own you on later. Blythe

876
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: Objective says, I just can't put into words how terrible

877
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Opiece decision is. It's like the worst possible outcome. Imperial

878
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: Seals says, really feel for his fiance, cowardly piece of crap,

879
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: move from op here. All it takes for it to

880
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: all come crashing down is the other woman to get

881
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: a little jealous after they're married. But it will be

882
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: his fiance who gets hurt the most. Desdemona says, imagine

883
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: this guy's children asking him how he proposed to his

884
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: wife and I respect females one two three, What a

885
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: lucky woman she is. That is the end of that story. Yikes,

886
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: I hope it's I hope that's all rage bait, because.

887
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 5: Boy oh boy, I think the only way I can

888
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 5: possibly I can only view that on with the story

889
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 5: is rage bait. And that's the end of this story.

890
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 5: We're gonna go to the next one.

891
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Keon, your favorite short king. We're going to

892
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: get back to the stories. But here's three minutes of

893
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: ads from our sponsors.

894
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 5: My girlfriend tested me and it didn't sit.

895
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: Well with me.

896
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: Maybe you should stand up for it.

897
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 5: My girlfriend told me that she tested me by canceling

898
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 5: a date when we first started to go out. It

899
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 5: was the date where we were kind of planning to

900
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 5: hook up for the first time for contact. She lives

901
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 5: in the city while I have an hour drive by

902
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 5: the way. This comes from Horror Intelligent three four eight

903
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 5: And if you want us to make your own stories,

904
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 5: go to the r slash Okay storytime subread it. I'm Carly,

905
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 5: I'm Keon, and we're here to give good advice. Goofully,

906
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 5: But we don't have all the answers. We only know

907
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 5: what we would do, so let us know what you

908
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 5: would do in the comments, and NOP says she waited

909
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 5: until I was halfway to the city before canceling. I

910
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 5: remember texting her as I got into the car and

911
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 5: telling her I was on my way, and she still

912
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 5: waited until I was halfway to the city. She had

913
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 5: a lot of opportunity to cancel before I had driven

914
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 5: half an hour. The date being canceled sucked, but she

915
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 5: told me she was feeling sick, and I told her

916
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 5: it was okay and told her to get better. I

917
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 5: had also asked her if she wanted me to come over,

918
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 5: and she said she didn't want to. She told me

919
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 5: that it was a big moment for our relationship as

920
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 5: she found out that I am very considerate. But honestly,

921
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 5: I get why she wanted to test me, but I'm

922
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 5: really pissed off in the way she tested me. She

923
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 5: had no consideration for my time and effort. It was

924
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 5: as if she really wanted to inconvenience me to see.

925
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: How I would react.

926
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: Also, your gas.

927
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, more so than gass. I told her that it

928
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: was pretty inconsiderate to wait until I had driven halfway

929
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 5: to cancel, and she had been really inconsiderate in the

930
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 5: way she tested me. She apologized half heartedly and then

931
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 5: said it was not a big deal, and it has

932
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 5: been four months. I told her it was a big

933
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 5: deal to me, and we had an argument about it.

934
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 5: I feel like an a hole because it feels really

935
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 5: small to get mad about. Am I the A whole judgment?

936
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Not the A whole I would be upset about it.

937
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 5: Top relevant comments interesting CE seventy eight fifteen. Not the

938
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 5: a hole. I'm a woman, and women who test men

939
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 5: piss me off. If you need to see how a

940
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 5: dude would respond to a certain situation, you can always

941
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 5: pose a hypothetical. Hey, so the other day my friend

942
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 5: had to cancel on a guy who was honest way

943
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 5: to see her, and he got all mad. At least

944
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 5: she's seeing the red flags now, then see what the

945
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 5: guy says. It's not rocket surgery. Testing is another word

946
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 5: for manipulating, and it's gross, Opie says. I'm I mean,

947
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 5: I kind of get it though some people say all

948
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: the right things but never carry through. I wouldn't mind

949
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 5: if she had canceled that date before I left my home.

950
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 5: It's just that she waited until I had left home

951
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 5: and driven halfway over till she canceled. That I feel

952
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 5: is an issue for me. Loved me long time, says

953
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 5: she should have kept quiet about her little test. Your

954
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 5: behavior on that day was appropriate and consider it good

955
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 5: for you. Obviously you passed. But now going forward, when

956
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 5: anything comes up, you may be wondering, is this a test?

957
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 5: And is this a test? And is this a test?

958
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 5: Because yeah, it might be. You need to have a

959
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 5: little discussion about this. This is not a small thing

960
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 5: to get mad about.

961
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: Not the a hole.

962
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 5: Storm Grin says this right here, She's now admitted to

963
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: lying to test you. So how the heck could you

964
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 5: possibly rely on what she says? Now? You could make

965
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 5: yourself go crazy second guessing her actions. Not the a hole.

966
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 5: There's better women out there.

967
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: Break up.

968
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 5: Everybody in these homents are saying break up. I'm kind

969
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 5: of like, listen, you're four months in, things are fresh.

970
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 5: This was a while ago. You sit down and you say, hey,

971
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 5: really didn't like that. It's kind of still upsetting me.

972
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 5: Can we like make a promise that if you ever

973
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: feel the need to like test me again, we.

974
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: Just like talk about it.

975
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And also like you're now everything feels like it

976
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: might be a test from here on out.

977
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. That's why you're like, we promise

978
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 5: no more tests.

979
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. This is I think is a conversation. But

980
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: the thing I don't like is how she responded. It

981
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: was like it wasn't that big of a deal.

982
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 5: I just don't think. Yeah, that's why I might sit

983
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 5: down and tell her that it actually was.

984
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: Waits it four months in, it's a big deal.

985
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 5: Throw it away, though, says not the A Hop. People

986
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 5: who test their significant others in any way are walk

987
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 5: in red flags the elite, it says, not the A Hop.

988
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 5: I dump a girl who fed with my time just

989
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 5: to test me in a heartbeat, I'm not a guinea pig,

990
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 5: and you don't have the right to toy with me

991
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 5: such disrespect.

992
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: I think the comments are coming a little aggressive here.

993
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 5: I think the comments are a little bit aggressive to

994
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 5: the situation. I think that it can warrant a conversation

995
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 5: that's hopefully leading to an apology. First, if she continues

996
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 5: to like double down and still test you, then sure,

997
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 5: then that's like girl, what are you doing?

998
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: Oh?

999
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1000
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: That And I would also agree again when she how

1001
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: she responded so not that big of a deal, then

1002
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: I'd be like, all right, we have to have a

1003
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: real conversation because not okay, the way she did the test,

1004
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: doing the test, all of it not not great in

1005
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: any pi. Yeah, it's very very dumb, and the way

1006
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: she did it and the way she went about it

1007
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: very dumb.

1008
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 5: Update two months later, my post received a lot of attention,

1009
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 5: and I saw a lot of people supporting me and

1010
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 5: a few giving a different perspective. I decided I need

1011
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 5: to have one more conversation about it with her, but

1012
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 5: she didn't respond well and got defensive and started to

1013
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 5: try to make me seem like a crappy boyfriend.

1014
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: Ooof and this is where you say, you know what,

1015
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: this is my test.

1016
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 5: I broke up with her a week after I posted it.

1017
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 2: Woo.

1018
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 5: I think I would have been able to get over

1019
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 5: it if she had felt guilty about it and apologized,

1020
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 5: but she didn't think it was a big deal at all,

1021
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 5: and just tried to make me feel bad that I

1022
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 5: even brought it up.

1023
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I, I said, And if she kept

1024
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: going with it, she's.

1025
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 5: Gonna double down on that, Like that's she'll always test you.

1026
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 5: You're just never gonna be able to live in peace.

1027
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: And the fact that she could be like, it's not

1028
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. It's not that big of

1029
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: a deal.

1030
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 5: You made me drive an hour for nothing, almost two hours.

1031
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: It could have been two hours too. Let him fully

1032
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: get it if she Yeah, can you imagine if she'd

1033
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: let that would be insane.

1034
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 5: If I was actually already there, I'd be like, I'm

1035
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 5: bringing you soup or something.

1036
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Well, you dodged a bullet there.

1037
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: Op the fact the fact that she didn't own any

1038
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: of that and just blatantly won't take accountability and doesn't

1039
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: see your side of things. You dodged a bullet, so

1040
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: good for you.

1041
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 4: OP.

1042
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 5: Breaking up with her didn't go well. She called me

1043
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 5: names and then accused me of breaking up with her

1044
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 5: so that I could date men.

1045
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: I am by well.

1046
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 5: I am happy that I broke up with her early

1047
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 5: on instead of wasting my time on her. I seem

1048
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 5: to be attracted to and attract the tension of controlling people,

1049
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 5: and I need to work on that. And I'm going

1050
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 5: to stay single for a while. Some final top relevant comments,

1051
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 5: Commenter one says message her in a month and say

1052
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 5: dumping her was a test, then again an hour later

1053
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 5: to say the previous message was a test. Obi says,

1054
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 5: this is hilarious, but I'm planning to block her and

1055
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 5: lose her number entire Kangaroo one four eight said that's

1056
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 5: a classier and the right thing to do. The idea

1057
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 5: is still hilarious. Deleted says, dude, don't blame yourself for

1058
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 5: the crabby people you meet in life. It's not like

1059
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 5: you appreciate people who try to control you. You just

1060
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 5: happen to find one. Another commenter says, sometimes people do

1061
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 5: attract certain types. I only realized after quite a while

1062
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 5: that I attract really needy people, realizing that I was

1063
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 5: able to make an effort to find different partners. Another

1064
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 5: commenter says, wow, and she turned out to be biphobic.

1065
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 5: Good job on leaving that situation. It really was an

1066
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 5: inconsiderate test. Another commenter says, so let me get this straight. Hey,

1067
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 5: she canceled on you when you'd driven halfway there. That

1068
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 5: alone isn't an issue. People can go from fine to

1069
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 5: ill in way less than thirty minutes. It kind of sucks,

1070
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 5: But the rest of the stuff here makes this seriously

1071
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 5: not okay. B She later reveals it was a test

1072
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 5: and she wasn't unwell after all. The fact she said

1073
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 5: that at all is an issue, and that soon after

1074
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 5: that fact is a red flag on its own. See

1075
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 5: she doesn't apologize and gets pissed off about it without

1076
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 5: realizing she was in the wrong issue too. D Wait,

1077
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 5: when you are very rightly left the blatant fi phobia?

1078
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 5: Need I say more?

1079
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: If you were to.

1080
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 5: Date a guy after that's not even her effing business.

1081
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 5: You didn't do anything wrong here obviously, Just block and

1082
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 5: move on and that is the end of that story.

1083
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds like you dodged a bullet, dodged a big one.

1084
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: My friend ruined our resort getaway and made everything about her.

1085
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 7: Of course she did so.

1086
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: I female thirty five, am currently on holiday at a

1087
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: resort with my friend, also female thirty five, who I

1088
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: love dearly.

1089
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 7: No, they're both thirty five.

1090
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: At the hotel, there are a few coveted cabanas that

1091
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: are first come, first served. This morning, I got up

1092
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: early and four went breakfast, hoping to get one for us.

1093
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from a user bad Land

1094
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: on holiday. Wow. And if you want to meet your

1095
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: own stories. Go do the r slash okay, storytime, separate it.

1096
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: I'm key On, I'm Riley, and we're here to give

1097
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: good advice.

1098
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: Goofully.

1099
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: But we don't have all the answers. We only know

1100
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: what we do. So let us know what you'd do

1101
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: in the comments, pretty pretty please. Already we're reserved with towels.

1102
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: The pool manager comes and I ask him about it,

1103
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: because they have signs all over that if the cabana

1104
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: is unoccupied for more than thirty minutes, they will remove

1105
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: your stuff so someone else can use it. The manager

1106
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: tells me everyone came down at six am, put down

1107
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: their towels and went back to bed. It is a

1108
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: round eight, so I asked him if that means they

1109
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: should be free now because of the thirty minute rule.

1110
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: He does agree and freese up one for us. I

1111
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: lie down. My friend joins me and I tell her

1112
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: the story. We agree that should someone come and try

1113
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: to claim it, we will show them the sign and

1114
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: point them to the manager. An hour later, a woman

1115
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: comes up and says where in her kamana. I tell

1116
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: her that the manager freed it up for us because

1117
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: of the thirty minute rule, but she calls the manager over,

1118
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: who tells us we can switch to the next one,

1119
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: which was also now empty for the last three hours.

1120
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: The woman says no, her friend is reserving that one.

1121
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm a bit annoyed at this point and say again, well,

1122
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: there's a rule, and I don't think it's fair we

1123
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: have to move. My friend then chimes in and says

1124
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: it's fine, we will leave. I accept, I don't want

1125
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: to argue further, and we pack our stuff, and then

1126
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: my friend walks up to the woman and apologizes.

1127
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 7: Okay, this better not ruin your your resort thing.

1128
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, why are we doing that? We nothing, No

1129
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: rules were broken. If anything, we followed the rules. Damn.

1130
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: Why are we accommodating to this random woman who didn't

1131
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: wait her turn or she'd left. Sucks to suck, she says.

1132
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: The manager said it's okay. We're really sorry. We didn't

1133
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: know it was occupied. The woman says it's okay and

1134
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: shoots me a dirty look. Ew Karen, my friend and

1135
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: I are now a different spot with a regular son lounger,

1136
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get back to a regularly happy

1137
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: holiday mood. But I'm honestly hurt that she didn't have

1138
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: my back. She says, I'm ruining our vacation by being

1139
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: so silent, And I get her point, but I'm trying

1140
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: really hard to not feel hurt. I feel she cared

1141
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: more about that lady she will never see again, not

1142
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: being mad at her and then supporting me. And even

1143
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: though it shouldn't matter, it feels like I'm the angry

1144
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: black lady while my white friend is the good one.

1145
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I understand it's stupid to be

1146
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: mad about a thing with a effing cabana. I know

1147
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: I will calm down in a bit. But am I

1148
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: the a hole for needing some space and time to

1149
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: get over feeling unsupported? Sorry, this is longer than I

1150
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: thought it would be. There is a consensus, but we

1151
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: don't know yet.

1152
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say you're the a whole.

1153
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: I think you're overreacting a little bit.

1154
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, what do the consistents say? Please do not say

1155
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 7: not the A whole?

1156
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: Not the a whole?

1157
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 7: Oh my god, that's crazy. She's the ale.

1158
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, though most people say the manager is and

1159
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,479
Speaker 1: to complain about him. Update one hour later, Oh boy,

1160
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: for one hour later, not even five. Thought i'd give

1161
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: you a quick update, girl, Why are you giving us

1162
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: an update? Go enjoy your vacation. Honestly, I'm thankful for

1163
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: all of your comments and I just read all of them.

1164
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: So my friend and I talked it out. I told

1165
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: her I was hurt by her not having my back,

1166
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: and she apologized and explained that this confrontation was just

1167
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable for her. Some of you clocked it. She's

1168
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: in general rather conflict averse. She would rather not have

1169
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: been in the cabana than having to potentially deal with

1170
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: a guest. I told her, I understand this, but I

1171
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: wish she had communicated this clearly. In me, I would

1172
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: have left with her long before the lady came, because

1173
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: I think us enjoying the day is more important than

1174
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: having the softest bed around the pool. She understands why

1175
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: her apologizing felt like throwing me under the bus. Please

1176
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: don't think of her as a bad friend from this

1177
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: one interaction. You are only getting my point of view.

1178
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: And also she's been a great friend to me for

1179
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: twelve years and is amazing in many many ways.

1180
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 7: Did other people blow this up?

1181
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 4: Did other people not see that this is just like

1182
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 4: a little thing and we should not even be here

1183
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 4: right now.

1184
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like one little tiny thing that really

1185
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why we had to post about this. Yeah,

1186
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: this could have been like okay, girlypop, that sucked. But

1187
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 1: we're on holiday. We go on holiday together every year

1188
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: and this is the first time we had any issue

1189
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: with each other. So in summary, we are good and

1190
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: spend a nice day on the sun lounger. We have

1191
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: a little left here, just do it. I'm just gonna

1192
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: finish it up.

1193
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1194
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 8: Use, I'm like, why, out of all the things that

1195
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 8: I've read on Reddit, this was like a water drop? Yeah,

1196
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 8: like we we didn't spill anything, like droplet hit the floor.

1197
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, cool, Yeah, why are we here?

1198
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: Crazy?

1199
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 5: To me?

1200
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: Was the kamana lady actually walked up to us around

1201
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: noon and apologized. She said she had no about the rule,

1202
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,479
Speaker 1: apologized for how angry she was, and said she would

1203
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: have handled it better. She then came up again later

1204
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: and told us the camanda just freed up and they're

1205
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: holding it for us. We told her, no need thanks,

1206
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: but it's really sweet of her. So sometimes people can

1207
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: really surprise you. And I'm very happy. But how the

1208
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: rest of the day went so thanks Reddit, I'll toast

1209
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: to you with my next adult beverage, and there are

1210
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: some comments. One of the comments says, oh, man, I

1211
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: would have stayed in the cabana regardless of whether my

1212
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: friends stayed or left. What a crappy thing to do.

1213
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 1: I'm better to enjoy my time following the rules, only

1214
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: to be disrupted by people who don't follow them and

1215
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: people who buckled with the first sign of trouble. No thanks,

1216
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: I rather stand my ground and ignore the haters coming.

1217
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: Number three says, I'm kind of on the friend's side.

1218
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: Because the friend apologized and moved, they were able to

1219
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: remain in the pool without this other guest targeting them

1220
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: and making things unpleasant, which she absolutely would have. The

1221
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: only reason the other guest apologized and tried to make

1222
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: nice after was because the friend he escalated to move.

1223
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: Sticking to their pew pews and insisting would have led

1224
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: to an entire vacation focused on this other woman having

1225
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: a vendetta whenever she saw them. If the manager hadn't

1226
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: been a goop and been more skillful at running interference

1227
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: with the other guest, it never should have gone to

1228
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: this point where it was guests versus guest and taking

1229
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: the blame for it, fusting the rules. To say, then

1230
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: the friend's apology and retreat would have not been needed

1231
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: and they could have stayed in the first cabana without risk.

1232
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: But he sucked, so the friend's actions weren't necessary. You know,

1233
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: if we were in ten years old and this was

1234
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: the situation, this might have been the end of the world.

1235
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: But we're thirty five years old.

1236
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 7: We found away. That's the first thing I said at

1237
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 7: the beginning. I was like, no, we are both thirty five.

1238
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: And we go on vacation or holiday. We've been doing

1239
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: it for a while now, and this is the first

1240
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 1: rough patch, and that's the end of this story. We're

1241
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: going on to the next one.

1242
00:54:56,040 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 5: Hey, it's Carly, your favorite Axelotel host. Here. We're going

1243
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 5: to get back to the stories. But here's three minutes

1244
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 5: of ads from our sponsors.

1245
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 9: My dad forgot my birthday for forty four years, so

1246
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 9: I finally forgot.

1247
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 5: His very happy un birthday.

1248
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 9: My forty four female dad seventy three male has never

1249
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 9: remembered my birthday. It was slightly covered up when I

1250
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 9: was a child because my mom always remembered. But a

1251
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 9: couple of times when she wasn't around, it fell to

1252
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 9: him and he totally failed. By the way this comes from, yep,

1253
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 9: it was me, mate, And if you want to submit

1254
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 9: your own stories, go to the r slash Okay storytime subreddit.

1255
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 2: I am Savannah, I'm Carly, and we are here to give.

1256
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 9: Some advice gulfu lad. But obviously we don't have all

1257
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,959
Speaker 9: the answers. We would just tell you what we would

1258
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 9: do in this situation. We would love to know what

1259
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 9: you would do in the comments, as OPI says. So

1260
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 9: for example, I got nothing on my eighteenth birthday because

1261
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 9: my mom was away for three months. My sister forty

1262
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 9: six female, had a party with friends, a new dress

1263
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 9: and lovely gifts when she turned eighteen. Every year it's

1264
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 9: the same my two SIPs. I also have a much

1265
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 9: younger brother, thirty three. Male aren't great at this kind

1266
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 9: of thing, but I always remind them it's dad's birthday

1267
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 9: so they can send him a card and call. Since

1268
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 9: my mom passed away a decade ago, I usually take

1269
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 9: him out to dinner and give him a gift so

1270
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 9: he's not alone. A couple of times I've thrown him

1271
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 9: a surprise party and for his seventieth, I threw a

1272
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 9: big event where his extended family flew in. I always

1273
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 9: point out to him when he has forgotten mine. I've

1274
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 9: told him I find it very hurtful. He just shakes

1275
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 9: it off and says it isn't important, even though I

1276
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 9: just told him it wasn't important to me, and then

1277
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 9: he forgets it again every year. This year, at Christmas,

1278
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 9: he was talking about something relevant, so I took the

1279
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 9: opportunity to tell him that he needs to make the effort.

1280
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 9: Then I asked him when I was born. He couldn't

1281
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 9: even come up with the year.

1282
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: All yikes.

1283
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 9: He mocked me for being sensitive, and inside I just

1284
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 9: let it all go. He has a phenomenal memory. It's

1285
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 9: ludicrous that he won't do this for me. I don't

1286
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 9: even want a gift, though I won't lie. It would

1287
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 9: be nice, just a happy birthday call or a card. Well,

1288
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 9: his seventy third birthday just rolled around. I didn't remind

1289
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 9: my siblings about it, so they both forgot. He rang

1290
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 9: me the day before. I knew why, but I chatted

1291
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 9: about random things and then said I had to run

1292
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,959
Speaker 9: and quickly ended the call. On his birthday, I turned

1293
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 9: off my phone and went out. He rang me the

1294
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 9: next day and said that no one remembered his birthday,

1295
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 9: not even a card or a phone call, and he

1296
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 9: spent it alone. I guarantee that's and.

1297
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 5: Was he sad and sensitive about it?

1298
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you shouldn't be so sensitive.

1299
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 5: Dad, Yeah, come on, it's just your birthday, Dad.

1300
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a big deal.

1301
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 9: I told him he had made it abundantly clear that

1302
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 9: birthdays were not important and that he was reaping what

1303
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 9: he sewed. He grumpily agreed with me, but he's still mad.

1304
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 9: I'm sorry his feelings got hurt because I do love him,

1305
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 9: But I think this is the way it's going to

1306
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,479
Speaker 9: be from now on unless he steps up and gets

1307
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 9: me flowers, a kitten, and some Turkish delight for my

1308
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 9: forty fifth, in which that case we're all good.

1309
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, you deserve it, though for all the times you've

1310
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 2: missed it. I would ask for all of those as well.

1311
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would ask, though, Like he's gotta know, I'd

1312
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 5: send him a list, yeah, like this demands.

1313
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 9: This is what I'm demanding for my forty fifth. Just FYI,

1314
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 9: I don't neglect him. I order his groceries every week

1315
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 9: and bring him around to dinner every Monday, and this

1316
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 9: is a blind spot for him. He's honestly a nice

1317
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 9: man and can be very generous when it.

1318
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 3: Occurs to him.

1319
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 9: Consensus not the a whole comments by Opium. I mean,

1320
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 9: I won't lie. It did feel a little bit good,

1321
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 9: and that made me feel guilty, hence this post. And

1322
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 9: there is a comment.

1323
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 5: You showed him what you feel like every year.

1324
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's kind of just giving him a taste of

1325
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 9: his own medicine. And even though he is like old

1326
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 9: and like, I do feel bad for being mean to

1327
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 9: old people, but like, I don't know, it's one thing

1328
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 9: to like forget it maybe once or twice, but like

1329
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 9: every year for like forty years is crazy.

1330
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 2: That's what it's like.

1331
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 9: Okay, you obviously don't care about me, so why should

1332
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 9: I care about you?

1333
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 3: You know, type of thing.

1334
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 2: I get where you're coming from, Opie.

1335
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 5: I have one thousand percent matched people's energies on their

1336
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 5: lack of birthday messages before for sure.

1337
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 9: Yeah I've matched the lack of and I've also matched

1338
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 9: the abundant.

1339
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1340
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I don't know.

1341
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, he should step up.

1342
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 2: He should realize how bad he felt about this.

1343
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 5: Time and then yeah, actually remember his child's birthday.

1344
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 9: I also think it's funny that like he remembers like

1345
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 9: the other kid's birthdays right.

1346
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: And they don't even remember it like she reminds them, right.

1347
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 9: So it's like, Dad, I actually do care about you,

1348
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 9: and this is what you do every single year. So like,

1349
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 9: just let that sit with you. I don't know you

1350
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 9: the a hole, but you regret this when he's gone.

1351
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 2: Oh A few people have said this.

1352
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 9: I've thought it through, and it's not like I'm missing

1353
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 9: the chance to see him one last time before he

1354
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 9: blows away, like freaking' this sold down? Yeah, So I

1355
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 9: see him twice a week and do his shopping and

1356
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 9: for him at least once each week. I took him

1357
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 9: on holiday for ten days last year and fourteen the

1358
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 9: year before, and we have a break in Devin planned

1359
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 9: in April. I'm a good daughter. I phone him most days.

1360
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 9: I am just sick of being treated as the lowest

1361
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 9: ranked child. I'm after a mutual respect here, and I'm

1362
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 9: worth it. I wouldn't snub anyone, let alone a daughter

1363
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 9: like this, And yet he thinks it's okay. I've read

1364
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 9: what about two hundred people have said, and I accept

1365
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 9: what they are telling me.

1366
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 2: This is deliberate. Why.

1367
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 9: I don't know, but it is. He has a brain

1368
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 9: like a computer. He remembers everything, everything, so he is

1369
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 9: choosing to do this and it sucks, and I am

1370
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 9: giving it back to him now it's from Opie. When

1371
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 9: asked why op he waited until now, OPI responds, I

1372
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 9: don't know. I genuinely don't know why this one broke me. Also,

1373
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 9: it wasn't just my eighteenth. I just brought that up

1374
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 9: because it's a big one, and the contrast with my

1375
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 9: sister was so profound.

1376
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 2: There were other birthdays.

1377
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 9: When I was a child that were forgot because my

1378
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 9: mom wasn't always around. I'm from the UK and she

1379
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 9: was from Eastern Europe and occasionally went to visit her

1380
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 9: wider family for a while when we were kids. It

1381
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 9: was Christmas Day after lunch when we had the chat

1382
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 9: I mentioned, and I'd spent the whole of Christmas Eve

1383
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 9: cooking and I'd worked so hard to make it a

1384
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 9: beautiful day. I chosen, bought and wrapped all his presents

1385
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 9: to quite a few people. And he just gives me

1386
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 9: a budget for everyone and a check, and he gives

1387
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 9: my sister a check to do the same for some

1388
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 9: of the rest of the family, and I was chatting

1389
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 9: with my sister and found out that the budget for

1390
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 9: my baby brother's Christmas gifts is twice the budget for mine.

1391
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 5: All so there's no reason why Ope should be treated

1392
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 5: so differently from her siblings.

1393
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 9: And like she also does everything that's I'm like, wait,

1394
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 9: it's like dead.

1395
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 5: The reason that they didn't wish you happy birthday was

1396
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 5: because I usually tell.

1397
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 2: Them every year.

1398
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1399
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 9: I don't know what's going on here. I don't know

1400
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 9: why he treats you different, Opie. And then Dad and

1401
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 9: I had that crap chat about my birthday. I was

1402
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 9: really hurt, but maybe I was looking to grow a

1403
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 9: spine for a while.

1404
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1405
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 9: I saw a therapist recently, and though I didn't bring

1406
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 9: this up as one of the things I wanted to

1407
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 9: get on top of, maybe I listened to some of the.

1408
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Life advice he gave me.

1409
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 9: I've literally been with him on my birthday and he's

1410
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 9: given my sister a gift for hers which falls a

1411
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 9: couple of.

1412
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Weeks before mine, Like this is targeted. Yeah, I know,

1413
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: it's on your actual birthday.

1414
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 5: And I know that I'm forgetting and not celebrating your birthday,

1415
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 5: but your sisters is in three weeks, so I really

1416
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 5: had to get her her gift today.

1417
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 9: I just like, I really don't understand, Like, did you

1418
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 9: like do something that you're not talking about to him?

1419
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 2: That just like he was like birthday, he was crazy.

1420
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, I need to know what reason because he didn't

1421
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 9: see her in between.

1422
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 2: In fairness, she was horrified. I'm definitely his, Okay, cool,

1423
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 2: See it wasn't just me that question it then we

1424
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: were just scared. We're scared. I'm definitely his.

1425
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 9: We have loads of identical physical things, and I look

1426
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 9: like a freaking twin to his two sisters in pictures

1427
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 9: where we are the same age. I am queer and

1428
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 9: didn't give him any grandchildren and he didn't know that

1429
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 9: until I was in my late thirties, So that's no excuse.

1430
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 2: Was that the reason? But he was already missing, but

1431
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 2: he was, he was already missing.

1432
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1433
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 9: I don't know if he I'm sorry. I know I

1434
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 9: wasn't planned, but I was always assured. I was very welcome.

1435
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 9: I have really listened to what people are telling me,

1436
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 9: and like you, I now realize this isn't accidental, it's deliberate.

1437
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 9: This had genuinely never occurred to me. I will wait

1438
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 9: for a time when we are relaxed in a neutral

1439
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 9: situation and ask him why I'm interested in what he

1440
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 9: says in this whole The.

1441
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 2: Thread site experience has helped.

1442
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 9: Me move away from being emotionally invested to being curious,

1443
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 9: which is a huge positive shift. Grateful to all the

1444
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 9: strangers who took the time to give me this objectivity.

1445
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 9: Though I still love my dad, I think he was

1446
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 9: genuinely showed that my brother forgot because he's the golden child,

1447
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 9: et cetera. But I've been reminding my brother for years.

1448
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 9: I was pretty sure, without me giving him a heads up,

1449
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 9: that he would forget, and I wasn't wrong. In fairness,

1450
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 9: my dad's attitude has rubbed off on him a bit.

1451
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 9: I would say that my sister is incredibly overwhelmed right

1452
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 9: now with life, so I feel a bit bad that

1453
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 9: I didn't remind her. My sister's an angel and my

1454
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 9: best friend, and I am lucky to have her. Oh

1455
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 9: that's good.

1456
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 2: We are actually good friends most of the time.

1457
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 9: He is a bit of a dinosaur when it comes

1458
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 9: to women and people who like the same gender. So

1459
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 9: I guess I am never going to be the special one.

1460
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 9: But he and I usually get on well together, and

1461
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 9: he wasn't a terrible dad. When I was young, he

1462
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 9: did not have a son, so I was very much

1463
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 9: his stand in son and we were very close. That

1464
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 9: dad sounds neurotypical, says someone. Opie responds, Hmm, he's been

1465
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 9: assessed he has mild OCD. Makes him amazing at scheduling

1466
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,479
Speaker 9: things and remembering dates and details. It's why I won't

1467
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 9: cut him any slack anymore.

1468
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the part that sucks, is like if he

1469
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 5: has any slight thing, it's something, it should make him

1470
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 5: remember birthdays.

1471
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 2: Mark for sure.

1472
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 5: He remembers every date that meticulously. And he's like, I

1473
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 5: can't remember her birth I.

1474
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 9: Am one hundred thousand percent sure that he has a

1475
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 9: calendar with like everyone's.

1476
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Birthday and yours is probably on it. Yeah for sure.

1477
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 2: And he's like, no, not this year, Like he's choosing

1478
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 2: to do that.

1479
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 3: And I don't.

1480
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't understand the reason.

1481
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 5: Have you just asked him? Can we just be like,

1482
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 5: why do you hate me?

1483
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1484
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 9: Well, that's what she's trying to get to She's like,

1485
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 9: I'm gonna wait till like there's a nutrade.

1486
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 2: No, but I need that now. I know, yeah, I

1487
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 2: would like it.

1488
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 5: I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, O Pie tell me.

1489
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 9: He really really doesn't have ADHD. He is superb ad

1490
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 9: task management, scheduling, planning, I mean really good. He has

1491
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 9: a great memory and never forgets details or dates. And

1492
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 9: he had therapy and analysis for his OCD, which my

1493
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 9: mom also had, so they would have been looking for

1494
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 9: this kind of thing. I do his groceries because he's

1495
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 9: too lazy to do it himself on the iPad I

1496
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 9: bought him. He always has a perfect list waiting for

1497
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 9: me on Sunday mornings. He knows the contents of his

1498
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 9: cupboard down to the last slice of bread. He is

1499
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 9: excellent at planning. It was hard because I love him

1500
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 9: and I was brought up to be a generous person

1501
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 9: who celebrates my friends and family. Not doing that was

1502
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 9: very hard for me. I mean, realistically, I know he

1503
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 9: prefers my brother and sister to me. I am just

1504
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 9: not sure why, because dang, and I am a very

1505
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 9: very good daughter to him. Yes you are, Opie. I

1506
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 9: will not take that from you. I will validate that

1507
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 9: to the end. My sister bought him a paper calendar

1508
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 9: this year and filled in my birthday and my brothers

1509
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 9: and all four grandkids. So let's see.

1510
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, now it's on the calendar. It's definitely there.

1511
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:41,439
Speaker 2: Everything's there.

1512
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 5: If he doesn't say it this year after forgetting his

1513
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 5: last year, after getting a calendar with it, that's when

1514
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 5: you immediately go, what the f is? Yeah?

1515
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, if he just there's no reason for him to

1516
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 9: excuse it now. Update nine months later. Okay, so I

1517
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 9: deleted the original threadside account for reasons. I made some

1518
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 9: foolish comments. People called me out. I panicked, But it

1519
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 9: was my birthday last week and some people asked me

1520
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 9: for an update, so I made a new one, and here.

1521
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Goes drum roll. Okay.

1522
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 9: It was the afternoon of my birthday and the phone rang.

1523
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 9: It was my dad. We chatted about stuff and did

1524
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 9: an online grocery order for him together, and then the

1525
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 9: conversation went kind of like this Dad, oh, and darling me,

1526
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 9: what Dad?

1527
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 2: Happy birthday?

1528
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 6: Me?

1529
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 3: Where is my father?

1530
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 2: And what have you done with his body?

1531
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 3: Dad? None of that?

1532
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 9: So that was nice and later when I saw him

1533
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 9: the next day, He gave me a glass flower bowl

1534
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 9: that had been my mom's that he had got my

1535
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 9: sister to wrap for me, which was also very nice.

1536
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 9: So all the people who said I should have played

1537
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 9: hardball before, maybe you were right. And all the people

1538
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 9: who said I only get one dad and I should

1539
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 9: just love him, I really do. And I haven't neglected

1540
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 9: him in the last however months, I promise. So whatever

1541
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 9: the reason for the weird stuff in the past, maybe

1542
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 9: a bad thing happened to him on my birthday, maybe

1543
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 9: he always resented the fact that my name wasn't the

1544
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 9: one he and my mom originally agreed on, or whatever.

1545
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 9: I seem to have broken the curse. Dad remembered my

1546
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 9: birthday this year and gave me a nice Skif you.

1547
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 5: Didn't get the reason, we're fit it.

1548
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 2: No, no, not get the reason. Just was like, here

1549
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 2: you go, happy birthday. I mean, it is nice.

1550
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 5: Mostly none of that when she's trying to be like,

1551
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 5: oh my god, what have you done.

1552
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like she was trying to like make like a

1553
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 2: joke out of it, but like.

1554
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 5: And he's like no, no, no, no, no, He's like stop.

1555
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 5: He's like, I'll take my happy birthday back.

1556
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 3: You know what?

1557
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 9: Never mind disown you thanks the thread site. Though maybe

1558
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 9: there maybe we do get you know the reason. After all,

1559
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 9: I'm not hopeful that we do. I'm not really either,

1560
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 9: but I don't know. Maybe maybe she will be to

1561
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 9: put her foot down and be like, listen, dad, tell me,

1562
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 9: tell me like I want to know and we all

1563
01:08:59,520 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 9: want to know.

1564
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 2: Comment Biop.

1565
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 9: I've been thinking about it since my first post, when

1566
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 9: the threadsite made me realize there was a deliberate element

1567
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 9: going on here, and I have decided it was a

1568
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 9: case of extreme doubling down. He felt guilty about missing

1569
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 9: my important birthdays when I was young, and it made

1570
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 9: him feel better to take the but it didn't matter

1571
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 9: because it was an important path than to just apologize

1572
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 9: and improve. I forced a change in quite a harsh manner,

1573
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 9: and he has buckled. People are complicated creatures, and that's

1574
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 9: the end.
