I've written three full length novels that I'm 14 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: almost perpetually reworking, and a book of short story is 15 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: all set within the same universe. 16 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Oh, Pierre, they good. 17 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: Tell us.

This week I found out 20 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: that my younger sister, seventeen female, won a massive scholarship 21 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: by submitting one of my short stories. I would have 22 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: been upset regardless of which story she'd taken, but she 23 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: happened to pick one based around my experience feeling othered 24 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: because of my autism. My sister is not autistic, and 25 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: actually bullied me for my autistic traits in the past. 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: Oh, he's really calling her out. 27 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: So the fact that this was the story she picked 28 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: to steal from me almost feels like an attack. In 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: addition to submitting the story, she also had to write 30 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: a piece about what inspired her, and even thinking about 31 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: what she must have made up makes my blood boil. 32 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: He should reveal that she's done this in a short 33 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: story and submit it to the same skoll. 34 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: Oh, my parents are currently struggling for money, and this 35 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: scholarship would pay for almost her entire first year. Both 36 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: my parents know what my sister did and have both 37 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: asked me to just let it slide because my sister 38 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: having this scholarship is helping her family out a lot. 39 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: They were also worried that the school my sister has 40 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: been accepted to might find out and rescind her admission. 41 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tricky. 42 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: They're both using the excuse that she is just a 43 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: little girl who made a dumb mistake and that it 44 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: would be petty and over the top for me, an 45 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: adult man, to hurt her future over it. 46 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: She knows what she's doing. She needs to get punished, 47 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: but I don't. 48 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: Know if ruining her whole future her whole future is 49 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: the move. I don't want to hurt my parents financially. 50 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't even really want to hurt my sister. But 51 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't want her to have the scholarship. I have 52 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: all the proof that she is not the real author 53 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: of the story. But would I be the a hole 54 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: if I actually sent it in? Should I just let 55 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: it go for the benefit of my family? So, Sophia, 56 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: what do you think Ope should do? 57 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 2: That's the tricky one. 58 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 4: And also I want to see put in the comments 59 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: what you think Ope should do? 60 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: I don't know, because I feel like if she loses 61 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: a scholarship and doesn't get to go to that school. 62 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: Screwsive with the parents. 63 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it more. 64 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: I feel like it more messes with the parents' financials. 65 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: But I think it's super. 66 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: Unfair for her to take his story, and I don't 67 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: think that she should.

Unfortunately, there 346 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: is a bias against same sex couples from adopting and fostering, 347 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: so we always had a hard time talking to the agency. 348 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: We were open to fostering and we're going to give 349 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: it a track. During this time, my sister in law 350 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: fell pregnant with a one night stand and when we 351 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: were talking about adoption in fostering parenting, she approached us 352 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: and told us she wanted to give birth because of 353 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: religious reasons, but had no desire to be a single parent. 354 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: She asked whether we would consider adopting her child. 355 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,119 Speaker 4: Okay, so this might be like, you know, right, real. 356 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: Right, right, crashes a couple of ladies treasure. My wife 357 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: was ecstatic and so was I. I brought up the 358 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: possibility of a written contract, but my wife told me 359 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: she trusted her sister. We paid for every pregnancy related expense. 360 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: My sister in law had the doctor's appointments, genetic tests, 361 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: she requested lab works, ultrasounds for random cravings at three 362 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: a m. We even paid her rent for the third trimester. 363 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: She decided on c section because she was scared, so 364 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: we paid for the livery and hospital stay. Just after 365 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: she gave birth, we came to visit her to talk 366 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: about rights transferring to us. She told us she was 367 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: keeping the baby and wasn't giving it to us because 368 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: she didn't believe we were ready for a baby. 369 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 4: Yet, weren't you wasn't ready for the baby. 370 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: My wife was devastated. She cried herself to sleep for 371 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: several days. Because we put the adoption on hold and 372 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: had everything ready for the baby to come. 373 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 4: Her nursery was ready, and my wife painted the walls herself. 374 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: We understood that the sister in law probably felt the 375 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: maternal instincts kicking and decided to give everything we purchased 376 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: for the baby to her because she was a single 377 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: mom with no ready needs. Seems like someone's unprepared a lot. 378 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: We also decided to pay the remainder of the birth 379 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: expenses as a gift to her. My wife insisted that 380 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: she needed all the help she could for the new baby. 381 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: A few days after the incident, I went to my 382 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: mother in law's house and this is where my sister 383 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: in law currently lives. She was on the phone, probably 384 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine, when I heard the 385 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: baby mentioned, and my eavesdropped. I shouldn't have done it, 386 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: but I just couldn't help myself. She was talking to 387 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: her friend about how she knew from the beginning that 388 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: she wasn't going to give the baby to us sisters, 389 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: and that her sister was an idiot to think that 390 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: she would allow her baby to be brainwashed by us. 391 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 4: Oh God, is this going where I think it's going? 392 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: I was honestly shocked. My sister in law was never 393 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: really close to me personally, but my wife always thought 394 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: she was her best friend. I never knew that she 395 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: was against our marriage because she never voiced her opinion 396 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: about it. Here's where I may have been the apple. 397 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: I left my mother in law's house and got home, 398 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: got everything I could fit inside our suv, and donated 399 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: it to a homeless shelter. I made three trips in 400 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: total to give everything away. I was honestly so mad. 401 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: My wife came home to an empty room and asked 402 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: me what was going on. I told her the whole story. 403 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: While she was shocked at her sister's reactions. She told 404 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: me I had no right to give away the baby 405 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: stuff her sister really needed it. I couldn't understand after 406 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: what she said about her, my wife could still protect her, 407 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: which I guess. It's like, you know, it's your sister, 408 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: even if she's a massive da. 409 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's a really that's a rock in a 410 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 4: hard place type situation. Right there. 411 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: When my sister in law found out, all hell broke loose. 412 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: She berated me on how she was a single mom 413 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: to a baby now, how she needed these things, how 414 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: she didn't prepare for the baby's arrival because she depended 415 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: on us. 416 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 4: I told her to kick rocks. 417 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, after spending over ten thousand dollars on her expenses, 418 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: I was beyond frustrated to allow her to continue. She 419 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: told me that these things were meant for this baby, 420 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: and I was wrong for giving her things away. My 421 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: mother in law has called my wife to tell her 422 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: how selfish I was being for my actions and that 423 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: we should at least help sister in law with the 424 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: upcoming expenses, because my mother in law is on a 425 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: fixed income, unable to help, and sister in law wants 426 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: to focus on raising the baby rather than working. From 427 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: my understanding, we owe her nothing and we have already 428 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: helped her tremendously, but my wife feels incredibly guilty and 429 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: wants me to help a new mom. I understand that 430 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: she is in a bad place, but how she acted 431 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: is way beyond what I'm comfortable with feeling. Although I 432 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: also feel incredibly bad because I may have put the 433 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: baby in a bad situation. I am starting to think 434 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: maybe I was the actual to donate the stuff meant 435 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: for the baby. So redda am I the assul for 436 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: not wanting to help my sister a lot with her 437 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: baby expenses and for donating this stuff meant for a baby. 438 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: There is an edit, but I want to hear what 439 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: you think John is opedul. 440 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 4: Maybe they're both the apple. Maybe Op's apple a little 441 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 4: bit for for turning the stuff and definitely. 442 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: The session is is she the act too. 443 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 4: To the baby? 444 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: To the baby? 445 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 4: I would say this the op things. 446 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: Maybe the maybe her wife because it's like that stuff 447 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: is probably hers too, Like I mean, they're sharing it. 448 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: So edit, thank you for your kind response to some 449 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: of your answers. Really made me think about how I 450 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: should approach the topic. I will apologize to my wife 451 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: because I have her approval getting rid of the things 452 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: that were also hers, I didn't consider her feelings. I 453 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: will also discuss the option of therapy with her. This 454 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: all feels surreal and it will be taking time to 455 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: digest some of the responses and think on everything. Also 456 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: huge thanks to some of you guys suggesting to look 457 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: for LGBT friendly adoption centers. I can't believe I didn't 458 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: think of that. The adoption topic will be put in 459 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: hold while we process all of these events. I will 460 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: probably post an update after things have settled. In a 461 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: small clarification, apparently my sister in law became a born 462 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: again Christian when she moved to my mother in law's house, 463 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: and acquaintance told us that she basically believed this baby 464 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: was a sign from God to change her ways, warn 465 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: everyone against sin and becoming sinners. All the power to 466 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: her for her beliefs. I didn't expect her to deem 467 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: us sinners. I'm not given her power to her beliefs 468 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: if that's how she treats people based on her religious place. 469 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 4: You know, it's kind of funny when it's like, uh, hey, everyone, 470 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 4: don't sin, I'm gonna go have this one night staying 471 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 4: over here. You know, it's like, not that I think 472 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 4: that's even a sin, But come on now, like doubles, 473 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 4: stand down, double standard. But let us know what you 474 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 4: guys think. 475 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: What would you do if someone basically stole the baby 476 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: that you paid for? 477 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 4: A jump down like that? It's different. I just drove 478 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: through a drag race and decided to crash their party. 479 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 4: I called the police to shut them down. Am I've 480 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 4: a hole? 481 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: I always mix up drag races and drag shows. 482 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 4: You know. I had the exact same thing. Yeah, I 483 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 4: was reading this title. Initially I was like, oh, drag, 484 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 4: no drag race, the broom, broom. I am a pizza 485 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 4: delivery driver. I was on my way home an hour 486 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 4: and a half later than usual after an extremely busy 487 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: night where I didn't get back from my last delivery 488 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 4: until forty five minutes after closing time. About halfway home, 489 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 4: I get to an intersection that is unavoidable for me 490 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 4: that has been taken over by a large crowd of 491 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 4: teenagers with cars all decked out for street racing, holding 492 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 4: some kind of drifting competition or exhibition. Nobody in the 493 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 4: crowd looked to be over twenty years old, but there 494 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 4: was a least one hundred to one hundred and fifty 495 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 4: people there. One one hundred and fifty people, that's a 496 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 4: big event. I felt like I was in a fast 497 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 4: and furious movie and I was with Dom's whole crew, 498 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 4: but I wasn't part of the family. Oh big, sad 499 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: In my defense, I did call the cops first and 500 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 4: was informed they had already been called and were about 501 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: forty five minutes out. After this disheartening news, I saw 502 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: that I had room to weave through the cars parked 503 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: at the intersection and get right up to the front 504 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 4: of it, since the car that had been there had 505 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 4: taken its turn drifting more like doing regular donuts.

They mostly parted in front of me. 511 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 4: Some tough guy types tried to intimidate me by standing 512 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 4: there like they would move ten feet in front of me, 513 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 4: but they all got out of the way by the 514 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 4: time I was within five feet. Kids, I'm in my 515 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 4: mid thirties. Anything under twenty is a kid to me. 516 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 4: At this point, we're banging on my car, but I 517 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 4: kept going, oh, yeah, wait a second, I had a 518 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: pizza to deliver. Dude, Oh he's delivering a breaking pizza. 519 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 4: I had to stop to let someone who was waiting 520 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 4: for his turn to drift facing the wrong way down 521 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 4: the street to get out of my way, and they 522 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 4: kept banging on my car. Thought they were going to 523 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 4: break a window or one of my mirrors, But when 524 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: I finally got home and checked, there was no damage. 525 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Nice. 526 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 4: So am I the a hole for not just waiting 527 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 4: for the cops to break everything up? And if so, 528 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 4: by how much? 529 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 5: So? 530 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: I think we have a little bit of a two layer. 531 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 4: Am I the A hole? Here? There's calling the cops 532 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: in the first place, and then ultimately like driving through 533 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 4: the crowd. 534 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 1: I mean they're doing something illegal. I don't think it's 535 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: the A hole for moving through an illegal. Yeah, thing 536 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: to do a non illegal activity. 537 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 4: And to me, it's also like because some things aren't 538 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 4: illegal but kind of fun and cool or whatever, which 539 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 4: this kind of is. 540 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: But it's like in his way, Yeah, this sounds exactly 541 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: an Op's place. I don't think Op's the A hole 542 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: at all, and I don't think he's aleful calling the 543 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: cops either. My man is dedicated to his piece of delivery. Yeah, 544 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: man is going to deliver in thirty minutes your life. 545 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,479 Speaker 1: I purposely told my parents the wrong time for my wedding, 546 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: and they are furious, But I do it again. 547 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 4: Am I the a hole? It's not actually a smart move, 548 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 4: but it is such a hilarious way of making sure 549 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 4: your parents aren't at your wedding. 550 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: Oh oh sorry, sorry, I mean like I must have 551 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: gotten the dates mixed up. 552 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 4: Yeah. 553 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: So my male thirty three parents are late for everything, 554 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: like everything. Both of my sisters and myself have been 555 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: disappointed so many times, graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, even my 556 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: father's retirement dinner. It is completely my mother's fault. She's 557 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: a wonderful woman and I love her dearly, but she 558 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: does not understand the concept of punctuality. 559 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: That's tough. 560 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you to get a shot callar 561 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: for your mom. Then every time she's late, starts zapping 562 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: her until she gets there. 563 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 4: That is one way to do it. Sam, You're so 564 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 4: kind to your mother. It really inspires me. Man. 565 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: Thanks mom. I have seen her talking to her sister 566 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: on the phone and reminded her she needed to be 567 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: at my baby sister's dancer title. She waved me off 568 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: and arrived after my sister had danced. That's so bad. 569 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: That's just like just inconsiderate. 570 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. We are all used to it. 571 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: My dad is just done trying to get her to 572 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: be on time for anything. My now wife, Emale twenty 573 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: eight told me in no uncertain terms that if. 574 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 4: My mother was late for our wedding, she would do terrible, 575 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 4: terrible things to me. 576 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: She was only half joking, but she was a witness 577 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: to my mom and dad driving halfway through my cousin's 578 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: Kinsanira halfway through. 579 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 4: Dude, Like, especially a wedding, like I can get even 580 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: being late to like a king signior or something, but 581 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: which is already bad. But a wedding. 582 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: So Opie has a plan. Okay, here is what I did. 583 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: It is completely on me. My wife is not involved. 584 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: If there's a dick move, it was completely mine. When 585 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: we were getting samples for the wedding, I talked to 586 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: the printer and had one special invitation printed with the 587 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: time on it, stating it was one hour earlier than 588 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: the actual start time of the ceremony. 589 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 4: Pretty smart, not bad at all. 590 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: Also selling it all the way with an actual invitation 591 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: with the time. Pretty smart. 592 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's his. I thought it was gonna be like 593 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 4: five hours. The three hours in advance. 594 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, with how late these parents, I would have 595 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: done three hours. 596 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, you never know. 597 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: My mother was beside herself apparently when they left the 598 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: house and thought they were going to miss the wedding 599 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: she was part of with her and my mother in 600 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: law lighting the candles we would use to light the 601 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: unity candle and stuff. When she arrived and noticed other 602 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: people were also just arriving and parking, she was so 603 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: relieved that we were starting late that she just went 604 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: with it. So she was invited early to the wedding, 605 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: was like late. Was worried that, oh my god, I'm 606 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: gonna miss the whole ceremony, and then realize that it 607 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: was starting late. 608 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 4: I mean sounds like it might just be the perfect 609 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 4: crime so far, so. 610 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Just I guess, make sure no one finds out. 611 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 4: That's it. 612 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: The ceremony went off beautifully, and so did the wedding 613 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: pictures and the reception. But the problem came last Sunday. 614 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: My parents came over for a big family dinner and 615 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: we didn't bother starting the grill until they showed up, 616 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: which was months later. She asked by everyone wasn't eating, 617 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: and we just said we knew we would be waiting 618 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: for them since they are always late. Just the facts 619 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: She said that she wasn't always late and had been 620 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: on time for my wedding, which also, how are you 621 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: not like self aware of your lateness? Yeah, at that 622 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: point when you're that bad, that that late, and also 623 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: like even if like saying you were on time for 624 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: a wedding, that even if you believed it started late, 625 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: like then you're not on time and the wedding just 626 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: started late. Yeah, she hadn't been. They arrived forty five 627 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: minutes after the time on their invitation. And then my 628 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: idiot cousin John real name, because it's common and he 629 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: deserves people to know he is adult, snorted at her statement. 630 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: A few other people giggled smiled at this, and she 631 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: picked up and asked what was so funny. I came 632 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: clean and told her about the special invitation. She is 633 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: pissed at me for not trusting her and making her 634 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: look foolish in front of everyone. If my cousin had 635 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: just controlled himself, she never would have known. So am 636 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: I the a hole for making this special wedding invitation? 637 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 4: Wow? 638 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: Man, and there's a little update. But I would love 639 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: to I would love to hear what do you think? Yeah, 640 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean absolutely not. 641 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 4: I think that was like a great plan, and like 642 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 4: also like me, I've recently come to the thing of like, oh, 643 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 4: when I'm like organizing things, I should have an hour buffer. 644 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 4: This is like commonplace to people who like organize events 645 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 4: for friends. But I'm like, yeah, that makes so much sense. 646 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: So it's actually not even out of the ordinary. I 647 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 4: would say, in some ways agreed, agreed at it. 648 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: So part of the reason she is mad is because 649 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: she had her invitation framed. I guess she was just 650 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: so proud of being on time for one thing. Yeah, finally, 651 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: To be honest, I was already planning a heights with 652 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: my sisters to replace it with the real one in 653 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: case she ever noticed the discrepancy between hers and the 654 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: one we have framed in our home. And number two, yes, 655 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: we are Latinos and Noah do not in any way 656 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: consider it racist. How many of you guess that I 657 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: have been to Spain and it's been an issue there too, 658 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: and the Philippines, basically anywhere those guys were in charge.

I was not late to something, 680 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: but when I was leaving San jose A deol Cabo, 681 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: I was like living there for a month and it's 682 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: just during COVID and I was leaving and I got 683 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: like three hours early to the airport and then when 684 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: I was getting my COVID test at the airport, which 685 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: you can do, there was a guy there and he 686 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: was like, hey, like you want this. 687 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 4: You know, to go a little faster. And I'm like, oh, 688 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 4: what do you mean. 689 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you know, if you give me like 690 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: twenty dollars ago, like, you can get your results faster. 691 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like, nah, man, I'm okay. I'm like three 692 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: hours early. 693 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 4: I'm a man of principle. 694 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: I don't need to bribe this dude. And then I 695 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: wait one hour no results, two hours no results, two 696 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: hours and forty five minutes no results. The plane is 697 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: boarding and I'm like frantically the calling and things like 698 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: where's my test result? Three hours they would not let 699 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: me on. I missed my flight and I had to 700 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: go get another COVID test. And so I learned my lesson. 701 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: Always bribe the guy. That is the moral of the story, 702 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, moral of the story. 703 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 4: Bribe people. That's right, all right, we'll see soon. Love you. 704 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 4: My husband thinks I cheated and he's not the father 705 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: of our baby. 706 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: Now he's demanding a paternity test. It might destroy your marriage. 707 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: Am I the a whole again. Something John and I 708 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: have said over and over paternity test at birth. 709 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 4: I twenty eight female, and my husband, thirty two male, 710 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 4: have a three year old son together. There has never 711 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 4: been any doubt that my husband is the father. I've 712 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 4: never given him any cause for concern that I cheated 713 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 4: on him, and he acknowledges all of this. Last week, 714 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 4: he came to me and said that for the last 715 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 4: few months he has been plagued his word with this 716 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 4: anxiety that our son is not his. They don't look identical, granted, 717 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 4: but they definitely share similar features, and I see my 718 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 4: husband whenever I look at my son. Why all of 719 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 4: a sudden cheating. I was obviously blindsided by this. I 720 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 4: had no idea he was having these thoughts. I asked 721 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 4: him to explain why he thought that our son wasn't his, 722 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 4: and he couldn't really provide any answer other than a 723 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 4: gut feeling. 724 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: A gut feeling just doesn't appear out of nowhere. There's 725 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: something EFFICII in here. 726 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 4: He asked me if I would be okay if he 727 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 4: got a portunity test done so it could ease his mind. 728 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 4: I initially said absolutely, no way. In hell, I was very, 729 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 4: very offended. He told me that he could just do 730 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 4: it without my permission, and I said that if he 731 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 4: did that, I would never forgive him for it. My 732 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 4: husband does not have a history of anxiety, but he 733 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 4: did lose his job at the start of the pandemic, 734 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: so he's been with our son most of the time 735 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 4: while I work full time from home. He's like, damn, 736 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 4: I've been spending all this time with my son and 737 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 4: he just sucks, so he can't be my kid now. 738 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 4: I know this hasn't been easy on him. I'm not 739 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 4: a psychiatrist or anything, but maybe he is starting to 740 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 4: resent our son or something from just having to be 741 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 4: around him constantly. After our first heated conversation, I spoke 742 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 4: with some friends about it, and they said that he 743 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 4: was probably having some psychiatric problems due to the stress 744 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 4: of not having a job. I came back to my 745 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 4: husband and said that if he went to therapy and 746 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 4: maybe started taking some anti anxiety meds, that I would 747 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 4: consider getting the test. He was very upset at this 748 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 4: and said that once he got back the results of 749 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 4: the test, he wouldn't be anxious anymore, and that I 750 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 4: wasn't being fair by making him go through this whole 751 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 4: rigamarole again his word. 752 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: I feel the one who is being rigged and rolled 753 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: is Opie. 754 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 4: She's being very rolled and very rigged and just to 755 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 4: get his piece of mind, which again was afhraise to 756 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 4: use a lot during this, he again threatened to just 757 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 4: get the test without my permission, and I said that 758 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 4: would effectively end our relationship. I think there's something more 759 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 4: serious going on here. I thought that my solution here 760 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 4: is as fair as I'm willing to be. My friends 761 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 4: are divided. Some think that I should just take the test, 762 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 4: and others are saying he's being insane and that if 763 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 4: I cave to this, there's going to be something else. 764 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 4: I need a more neutral perspective here. Am I the 765 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 4: A hole? And there's edit's and updates, honestly quite quite 766 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 4: a bit of juicy and GDD deals, But as of 767 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 4: right now, I want to know what are you all thinking? 768 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 4: Is op being the a hole? Here? Is the husband 769 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 4: being the A hole? Here? I think the husband's being 770 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 4: the a olier. 771 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: Op with like even gave a consolations like, hey, just 772 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: like go to some therapy, talk about it, and then 773 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: I will get the paternity test. 774 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 4: Update. The bottom line is we are headed towards to force. 775 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 4: Oh no. I took some of the commenter's advice to 776 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 4: go to couple's therapy, which we did that same week 777 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 4: as my first post. I had to push him a 778 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 4: bit to get him to agree to the therapy, but 779 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 4: I told him it was either this or I was 780 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 4: never going to give in to the test. The first 781 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 4: Zoom session was a little awkward since neither of us 782 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 4: had done therapy before. After listening to both of us, 783 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 4: she basically said that she thought that we should do 784 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 4: the test to see if it eases his anxiety, and 785 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 4: that if it doesn't, which at the time was my concern, 786 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 4: that we could go from there. So my husband was 787 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 4: thrilled and I agreed, but I wanted to be on 788 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 4: Zoom with the therapist when we received the results so 789 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 4: we could talk it out with her, which he was 790 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 4: fine with. She actually agreed to do the test. Wow, Okay, 791 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 4: we did the test, and we did our Zoom session 792 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 4: when our results were in and big surprise, the paternity 793 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 4: test says he's ninety nine percent likely to be the 794 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 4: father aka if he's a dead. He didn't appear relieved 795 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 4: or happy or anything of what I expected. Maybe this 796 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 4: was unfair, but I did it expect him to cry 797 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 4: and maybe apologize to me for his lack of trust. 798 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 4: This wasn't just my imagination, though, because the therapist asked 799 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 4: him in our first session how he would feel if 800 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 4: the test came back saying that he was the father, 801 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 4: and he said that he would feel relieved, but he 802 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 4: was angry. What I think he's cheating more suspicion. 803 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: I think he's cheating. I think he's looking for an 804 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: excuse to break up. 805 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 4: He kept saying that it was over and that he 806 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 4: didn't want to talk about it. He kept repeating it's done, 807 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 4: it's done, over and over when the therapist would try 808 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 4: to ask a question about how he was feeling, and 809 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 4: he was obviously not listening. When I tried to talk 810 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 4: about my feelings and I told him I wanted to 811 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 4: talk about it, he yelled at me, which he never does. 812 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 4: What else is there to effing talk about. I was 813 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 4: mortified that he was talking to me this way in 814 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 4: front of a therapist, which also bro that is going 815 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 4: to earn you very negative points like that with the therapist, because. 816 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: Anyone knows therapy is a scoreboard. Between the first couple 817 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: and the second couple negative two points for a husband, and. 818 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 4: The therapist said that we should schedule a new session 819 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 4: once he had time to process. After the session, he 820 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 4: wouldn't look at me or speak to me. That he 821 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 4: was so upset that he was our wonderful son's father 822 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 4: made me absolutely lose my mind. We screamed at each other, 823 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 4: and it ended with me saying that I can't do 824 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 4: this anymore. 825 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 1: Wow. 826 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 4: He's at his brother's apartment now, finally away from our son, 827 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 4: which is obviously what he wanted all along, and my 828 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 4: mom is now staying at my place to help me 829 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 4: out around the house. I texted him this weekend asking 830 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 4: if he wanted to do another therapy session, and he 831 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 4: asked if I really thought that that would help, and 832 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 4: I had to admit that I didn't think it would help. 833 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: What happened. I don't understand what happened. 834 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 4: The speed at which this whole thing happened. Just a 835 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 4: month ago I would have said I was in a 836 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 4: happy marriage is still completely shocking to me. But I 837 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 4: don't see us recovering from this. This felt cathartic to 838 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 4: type out, though, so thanks, I guess Wow, Yeah, I'm 839 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 4: I'm very curious on everyone's thoughts in the comments, and 840 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 4: maybe I don't know you've seen like a similar situation 841 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 4: or something like that. My guess too, if it isn't cheating, 842 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 4: is maybe being with the son so much he was 843 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 4: just like I do not want to be a father. 844 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: I want to get out of That's it completely not cheating. 845 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: It's it's it's probably he just wasn't ready for fatherhood, 846 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: which sucks. 847 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 4: Like it's like, do mommy, why did you go through 848 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 4: the force? 849 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: You it was your fault. 850 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 4: Son, I kinda hate you, So there you go. He's 851 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 4: majorly that, especially because we have no idea what's actually 852 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 4: going on. 853 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, but regardless of what's going on, he's the apple. 854 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 855 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: You can't see uh a way out of him being 856 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: a no no, there is no way, no path. My 857 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 1: high school bully wants a job, not a chance. Aren't 858 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: going to get my revenge? So my the a hole 859 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Sam. The question is, you know if someone 860 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: applied to OKOP, like one of my middle school bullies. 861 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 4: The salad boy inventor, applied to be our top editor. 862 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: No, no way, no deny instantly, my female thirty five 863 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: high school tormentor male thirty five. It's one of the 864 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: applicants to a job in the company I work for. 865 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: The position he is seeking is below me, which means 866 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: he is going to be in direct contact with me 867 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: many hours a day. I will add that I am 868 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: not the one doing the hiring, but as I am 869 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: the one who knows the nature of our job best, 870 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: my input has a very significant impact and my recommendation 871 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: is likely usually the one that ends up happening. So 872 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: Opie got all the power. Yeah, out of all the applicants, 873 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: he is by far the most merited and suitable for 874 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: the job. My problem is that this man has made 875 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: my adolescence very hard, to the point that I literally 876 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: had physical pain every morning before going to school. I 877 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: wanted to quit many times, but that was not an 878 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: option to my parents, who threatened to kick me out 879 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: if I didn't graduate. 880 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 4: Dang or opee man. 881 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: This bully sounds awful, but maybe he's changed, you know 882 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: or not. I think it would just make it hard 883 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: for op to do their job. 884 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying is I think that, like because 885 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 4: of that, that makes them not the most qualified person. 886 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: I love my job now and know I'm strong, and 887 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't be able to bully me anymore. So 888 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: that's not what I'm worried about. I just can't have 889 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: a reminder of my darkest time of my life working 890 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: with me every day. I've contemplated finding another job, but 891 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: we live in a middle sized city and my options 892 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: to find an equivalent position is minimal and with an 893 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: at least thirty percent decrease in WAG if I'm not 894 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: willing to locate to another city slash country. My god, 895 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Op, I feel like that you could just 896 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: come clean maybe about it, yeah, and say, like, I 897 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: think this person could make like a terrible work environment, 898 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: especially for me, exactly, say, hey, this would be a 899 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: terrible work environment. This person was like abusive to me. 900 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 901 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: The job he's seeking is probably once in a lifetime 902 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: for anyone who gets it, hays great and has a 903 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to make a career and climb higher. 904 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: After two interviews with each applicant, they have chosen five candidates, 905 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: and it's now my recommendation that comes into play. I 906 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: will sit in a third interview with each of the 907 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 1: five beside management in HR. This part scares me, OPI 908 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the room with the bully face 909 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: to face. 910 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 4: Yeah. Wow, I have. 911 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: Two other applicants that would do the job perfectly, so 912 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: it won't affect our work at all. He is just 913 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: more meriti to rephrase moss from it crowd. I am 914 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: in an ethical pickle. What can I do? And there 915 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: is an update, a juicy update. But John, what do 916 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: you think again? 917 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 4: I think like he should come forward to the team 918 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 4: and be like, look, this person absolutely tortured me. 919 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it could be just become pretty clean, 920 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: just be honest about it. So onto the update. I 921 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: will try to answer every chat request individually, but I 922 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: wanted to answer questions I got most here. What the 923 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: bullying was bad. It was both verbal and physical. It 924 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: was the punching bag for a good part of three years. 925 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: I had to cut my hair very short to avoid 926 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: being pulled around by it. Last year it was the 927 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: worst because he could grope and touch me to see 928 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: why I wasn't developing like the rest of the girls 929 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: our age. I was very skinny growing up. That's really 930 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: really bad. That's just as salt awful. Yes, too many 931 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: asked how I could live with myself knowing that I'm 932 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: not being impartial and not putting what's best for the 933 00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: company first. Who are these fucking capitalists? Redditors being like, 934 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: why aren't you putting random capitalist company? I'm in front 935 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: of your own needs. 936 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 4: What it's Bob from Accounting being like, Wow, you should 937 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 4: really consider the company's priorities. 938 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: As I said, I do feel guilty because he was 939 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: the best for the job, and with COVID it's harder 940 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,720 Speaker 1: for people to find work, et cetera. I feel very guilty, indeed, 941 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: but it was either living with the guilt or the memories, 942 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 1: and I chose the guilts. 943 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 4: Three. 944 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you recognized me. I sat on 945 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: the second interview via zoom, and it didn't seem that 946 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: he knew me. So after I wrote here, I decided 947 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: to confront my demons and sit the third interview to 948 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: get a better idea of what he's become. He either 949 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: didn't remember me at all or just played it cool. 950 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: He was very pleasant and charming, but I don't know 951 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: if I was making things up in my mind or 952 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: not when it was my turn to ask questions, But 953 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: his whole demeanor and the way he looked at me 954 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: was different. If that's just my imagination, or not. I 955 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: didn't care. I thought I had to tell HR about 956 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,760 Speaker 1: my past, not the details, but that we have history, 957 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: keeping it professional. But before I knew it, I was 958 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: bawling my eyes out in her office and I told 959 00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: her everything. She told me not to worry and to 960 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: go home. Later I got an email that they're going 961 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: with the next on the list. To all this drama 962 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: was for nothing. I made a big deal out of 963 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: it in my head, but according to HR, the manager 964 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: didn't even want the details. It was enough that I 965 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: didn't like. I've started therapy again. This experience made me 966 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: realize that I'm far from being one hundred percent recovered 967 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: and still need to work on myself. Thank you everyone 968 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 1: for listening horro. 969 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 4: P again Like he's not the best for the job 970 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 4: because of everything that we talked about, Like it was 971 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 4: definitely the best move to come clean, be honest, and 972 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 4: pick someone who'll probably do a great job. 973 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: And also like when you work in a company and 974 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: with a team, it's not about the best individual for 975 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: the job, it's about the best team member. Abs and 976 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: those to be two different things. Yes, like you could 977 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: have someone with a higher pedigree that's maybe more proficient, 978 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: but if they can't work well with the other people 979 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: in the company, then they're not going to be a 980 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: good fit exactly. And so I think that's the case here. 981 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: But I would love to know your work stories. Have 982 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,919 Speaker 1: you ever worked with the high school bully or middle 983 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: school bully or any kind of bully or work bully. Yeah, 984 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 1: tell us your work bully stories. And let's get to 985 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: the next one. 986 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 4: My ex wife was sleeping with our divorce lawyer before 987 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 4: the divorce. I am beyond furious. Am I the a hole? 988 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 4: The lawyer is really making it final? We really need 989 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 4: a way to drum up business. I got a few ideas. Guys, 990 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 4: just divorce lawyers sleeping with all of your wives. Now, 991 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 4: that's what I call finding leads. So I'm going to 992 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 4: try to make this as short as possible. I was 993 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 4: in a town with my kids and needed to get 994 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 4: my son's stuff bunny from his dad's. 995 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: So I called him several times. You know who else's 996 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: bunny was stuffed? Is any bunny? 997 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 4: Oh God? I called him several times, didn't answer. I 998 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 4: figured I was right there. I would see if he 999 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 4: was home. His car was there. I went up to 1000 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 4: the door, rang the bell, called again, but no answer. 1001 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 4: But then the door was open. So we walked up 1002 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,879 Speaker 4: to his apartment. I knock, and a female answers the door. 1003 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 4: But not just any female, a female I immediately noticed 1004 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 4: as being the parentalegal who handled our recently mediated divorce. 1005 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 4: The wife just went up to the husband's place. Yes, 1006 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 4: and then as the pair of legal who handled the divorce. 1007 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 4: That is opening the door, and it's like, uh, what 1008 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 4: you doing here? 1009 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,919 Speaker 1: Oh, just going over some finalizations from the divorce proceedings. 1010 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 4: Just going through the paperwork, if you know what I mean. 1011 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 4: She confirmed that that's who she is, and I calmly 1012 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,399 Speaker 4: excuse myself. Come to find out that they had been 1013 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 4: seeing each other and sleeping together prior to the divorce process, 1014 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 4: and that was why he insisted we use a law firm. 1015 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,280 Speaker 4: That we did. 1016 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: It sounds like the husband was trying to get the 1017 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: best deal possible. Little you know he would get a 1018 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: little paralegal thrown in there. 1019 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 4: Oh goodness, gracious for free. Yeah, we can't do any discounts, 1020 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 4: but there is something else we could do for you, Bob. 1021 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 4: You got the deal. She was the one who wrote 1022 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 4: up our paperwork and that I had confided in her 1023 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 4: things about my ex all while she was sleeping with him. 1024 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 4: To say I feel violated is an understatement. I feel 1025 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 4: like there was coercion on their part in order to 1026 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 4: manipulate me into not pursuing certain things, and that it 1027 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 4: was just morally and ethically wrong that she handled any 1028 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 4: part of our divorce. I mean, that is conflict of 1029 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 4: interest to the maas. Oh, my god, she had every 1030 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 4: incentive to push us through the divorce for her own 1031 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 4: romantic game. She called me crying and says that she 1032 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 4: feels bad and then she's never going to talk to 1033 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 4: him again, and blah blah blah blah blah, but maintains 1034 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 4: that she was a professional and they had never been 1035 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 4: in a relationship. It's semantics, Ah, when you're poorking your client. 1036 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they started before the divorce is finalized. That 1037 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: means she was working on your case and boning your man. 1038 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 4: And cheating with a married man. You were sleeping with 1039 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 4: my husband. And oh they're still friends because he's seen 1040 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 4: her every day since this has happened. My god, which 1041 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,439 Speaker 4: makes sense, which makes me believe that this was more 1042 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 4: of a manipulation. There is nothing professional about what happened. 1043 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 4: I don't know what to do. My friend and attorney 1044 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 4: said to file an ethics complaint, which I've already written 1045 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 4: up and sent to him for review. My ex, who 1046 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 4: used to abuse me, has been threatening that if I 1047 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,439 Speaker 4: do any harm to her, there will be repercussions. Oh 1048 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 4: my god, he doesn't scare me, but we do have 1049 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 4: children together, and I don't know what he's capable of. 1050 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 4: Plus he's refusing to pay child support and said that 1051 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 4: he will not pay if I pursue anything against her. 1052 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 4: I'm a single mom of two small children and money 1053 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 4: is an issue. I have not had a single romantic 1054 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 4: feeling for that man, but I do not feel that 1055 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 4: I received fair representation based on these morally and ethically 1056 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 4: dishonest practices. Legally, what can I do? How can I 1057 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,240 Speaker 4: protect myself? This guy is a monster? 1058 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: Like what if it's like really bad. Let's say, like, 1059 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: what if it's a billionaire and someone they're married to. 1060 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: The billionaire controls all the assets, the other person in 1061 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: the relationship has nothing. I imagine a law firm will 1062 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: be like, hey, we'll represent you and then and we 1063 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: get like half the winnings if we win anything. 1064 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 4: Oh, you're saying like there could be bad incentives because 1065 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 4: they're just like, hey, we'll just represent you. It sounds 1066 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 4: like this scenario like a couple and try and get 1067 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 4: some of the whole thing. 1068 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like in this specific scenario because the 1069 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: law firms representing them both, it doesn't seem like necessarily 1070 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: be fair to the wife. 1071 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, And he was the one that chose it. 1072 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, if he chose it, and he was like manipulating 1073 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, the situation by Boone and the paralegal. 1074 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 4: I don't know, or the paralegal was manipulating him. I 1075 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 4: don't know. 1076 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: It's crazy, but yeah. 1077 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 4: This is absolutely beyond insane, Like, yeah, yeah, how do 1078 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 4: divorce proceedings usually go? How do they work? 1079 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: Do lawyers takes from like off the back? You have 1080 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: to pay up front? Anyone who's been divorced, give us 1081 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: your divorce proceedings. 1082 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,919 Speaker 4: I imagine there's kind of like ambulance chaser lawyer vibes 1083 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 4: where it's like, hey, we'll represent you and then just 1084 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 4: try to siphon as much money to get a fee 1085 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 4: percentage off of that and maybe a fat one. 1086 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but let us know that's a doozy of a 1087 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 1: story that sucks.

She is chronically 1100 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 4: unemployed and a thief. She has two kids that are okay, 1101 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 4: just okay, not great, Yeah, not the worst, but okay, okay, 1102 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 4: op op them they live with us as well because 1103 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 4: her boyfriend didn't want them around.

Nice. My parents 1107 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 4: won't let me put a lock on my door because 1108 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 4: it's their house and they don't want that. All right, 1109 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 4: but no problem. I talked to the kids and explained 1110 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,919 Speaker 4: about what would happen. If they came into my room 1111 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 4: without my permission, you will die. My sister broke up 1112 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 4: with her boyfriend and she needed a place to stay. 1113 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 4: I begged my parents not to let her stay with us. 1114 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 4: They declined, so I begged again for a lock on 1115 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 4: my door. But no, dice. I have to go to school, 1116 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 4: so I can't god my stuff at all times. When 1117 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 4: I came home on Friday, I found my car. 1118 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely trashed and a whole side of the car destroyed. Wait, 1119 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: why so my sister had gone into my room, found 1120 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: my spare key, and stolen my car, then lost control 1121 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: on the dice after a day of eating crap and 1122 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: tossing fast food wrappers everywhere. That does not make sense 1123 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,319 Speaker 1: to me. I my car is so clean. 1124 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 4: The maid will cleanness up. Eat this trash. You will 1125 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 4: have trash, don't this? Yeah? I laugh, trash. When I 1126 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 4: saw my car, I was I told my parents that 1127 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 4: I expected her to pay to fix it. Reasonable, No, 1128 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 4: totally unreasonable. Oh yeah, you're right. What was I thinking? 1129 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 4: They said, But she doesn't have any money. 1130 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: Oh God, work the street corner. 1131 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 4: So I said that I would call my grandparents because 1132 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 4: my grandparents had helped me get the car and the insurance. 1133 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 4: After talking with my grandfather, I came back to my parents. 1134 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 4: I said that the insurance would cover fixing or replacing 1135 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 4: my car, depending on the damage, but that I would 1136 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 4: have to file a police report against my sister. I 1137 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 4: imagine so, and that my sister would probably be charged 1138 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 4: for stealing my car. They begged me to tell the 1139 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 4: insurance that she had permission to drive the car, but 1140 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 4: I said no, sorry. So rather than go through insurance, 1141 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 4: they are now replacing my car. Wow, with a Ferral. 1142 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 4: I mean it better be. But they are using the 1143 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 4: money that they had set aside to take me and 1144 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 4: my nieces to Orlando next summer for my graduation. It's fine, 1145 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 4: I can do without seeing Disney World again, but my parents, sister, 1146 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 4: and nieces are upset with me and saying that I 1147 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 4: am an athole for denying my nieces the opportunity to 1148 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 4: go on the vacation that they've never had. I just 1149 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,760 Speaker 4: asked if a lock for my door would have been cheaper.

I feel like it's like I had 1159 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: no idea how much tragedy could occur from not having 1160 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: locked doors. 1161 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 4: I mean truly, truly, truly. 1162 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: I mean but then again, like prison, like that's that's 1163 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: just a door lock away from releasing murderers on the street. 1164 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 4: That is true.

Seven years impressive. We met in college and 1203 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 1: are now in our late twenties early thirties. For context, 1204 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 1: I was her first, but I myself had some significant 1205 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,400 Speaker 1: experience of dating both men and women. Also as I 1206 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,800 Speaker 1: started college, not right after high school. She's some years 1207 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 1: younger than me. Our relationship has been somewhat open from 1208 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: the start. In the first years, we've been having occasional 1209 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 1: threesomes and met other couples, which was fun and easy going. 1210 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,399 Speaker 1: I don't think that part was that today aft up 1211 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,280 Speaker 1: and I would happily do that again. 1212 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 4: Oh God, here after four years. 1213 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 1: My girlfriend broke down, crying and told me that she 1214 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: isn't sure if meeting girls or sex with me in 1215 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 1: the room would be sufficient for her in the future, 1216 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: as she realized she is more by than she thought. 1217 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: So bye bye to the boyfriend. 1218 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 4: I only like women. 1219 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 1: This is where the today aft up starts. I instantly 1220 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 1: agreed that she can go on solo dates because I thought, 1221 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: all I want is to see her happy. She will 1222 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: thank me later this will strengthen our relationship. She doesn't 1223 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: have any experience whatsoever, so she will regret not having 1224 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: made that experience later in life if I don't allow 1225 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 1: her to do it now. So I mean, honestly, not 1226 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: a bad thought process. She also somehow suggested that I 1227 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 1: will profit from that decision. Profit what we started to 1228 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 1: not only when I get off, but you will get 1229 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: rich Basically, she said she would be introducing me to 1230 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 1: the women she'll meet along the way. Up to that point, 1231 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 1: it had been ninety nine percent me who have been 1232 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: organizing dates and managing all these stupid dating profiles on 1233 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 1: multiple platforms. 1234 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 4: Well, of course it didn't go well. 1235 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,800 Speaker 1: My girlfriend had quite some fun and all I received 1236 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: were the stories of her experiences. No profit, no profit 1237 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,240 Speaker 1: for open zero zero dollars ahead. This was perfectly fine 1238 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 1: for a year or so. At one point, I was 1239 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 1: allowed to also meet women after our g about that 1240 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: point for quite some time, but I just didn't get 1241 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,919 Speaker 1: to the point of going to solo dates when all 1242 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: I wanted was to have a happy girlfriend. I tried 1243 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: once and then it died down. Needless to say, my 1244 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 1: girlfriend never ever actively introduced me to a single person 1245 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,320 Speaker 1: she met. After a year or so, things started to deteriorate. 1246 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 1: My girlfriend had met about ten women already, and I 1247 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: also allowed her to have a threesome with two other women. 1248 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 4: That's a lot to juggle. 1249 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 1: You've heard of love a lot to Hey, she's good 1250 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 1: at multita asking, I guess.

She needs the emotional connection to have fun, 1256 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: and it is desirable for her to have a second 1257 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: female partner for the needs I cannot satisfy.

She isn't sure 1261 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: if she finds me attractive in that way anymore. She 1262 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 1: never intended to do the single dating part for the 1263 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,239 Speaker 1: sake of our relationship. She was really just doing it 1264 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: for herself. That she wasn't honest to me and to 1265 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,919 Speaker 1: herself the whole time. However, she didn't want to break 1266 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: up as I am still the love of her life 1267 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: and all she wanted to do was find a way 1268 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:29,360 Speaker 1: to have it all.

I love how it's just like, hey, 1337 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 4: so like I had to like know no other female friends, 1338 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 4: so could you just like do this for me? 1339 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: Also, it sounds like this girl hates soapy yeah, and she. 1340 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 4: Wants her to be her maid of honor. What I 1341 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 4: failed to realize when I accepted the role was that 1342 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 4: to her, the maid of honor meant planning the entire wedding, literally. 1343 00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: Playing the role. It's literally a role. It's this is 1344 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: a fake relationship. 1345 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 4: Like I was booking venues, florist's, jazz bands, everything. Even worse, 1346 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 4: she expected me to put my credit card down for 1347 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 4: all of it. What this is a farce? 1348 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Wait, but aren't you supposed to plan your own wedding. Yes, abe, 1349 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 1: the maid of honor does like a bachelor atte party, 1350 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: but not your whole wedding. 1351 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely not, and not paid for it. My god, my 1352 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 4: brother and her are not exactly well off, and since 1353 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 4: I have a well paying job, I don't mind holding 1354 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 4: the deposits, but it was starting to add up a lot. 1355 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 4: That is the biggest red flag of all tiers. Don't 1356 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 4: think you're going to get that money back. It's awful, 1357 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 4: because hey, you should never ask someone to do that. 1358 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 4: It's just stupid and be the consequence. What if she's like, no, 1359 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 4: I don't want to do the wedding anymore, loses the 1360 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,919 Speaker 4: deposit on her credit card. Every time I would ask 1361 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 4: Ella about it, she would say that, oh, it's all 1362 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 4: going to be paid back by her parents before the wedding. 1363 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 4: It's totally cool. Don't worry. I'm sending a train back 1364 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 4: and then the parents paid back everything with interest. Oh wow, 1365 01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 4: just kidding. 1366 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: This is red stories, Reddit stories where our dreams are slashed. 1367 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 4: Well, flash forward to last week, about three weeks before 1368 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 4: the wedding, and she is unbearable to be around. She 1369 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 4: can't last more than a few minutes before snapping at anyone. 1370 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 4: So when I, of course brought up the money, crap 1371 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 4: started hitting the fan. I asked if she had received 1372 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 4: the updated receipt of everything owed. When she exploded, she 1373 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,680 Speaker 4: called me a whole line of terrible names, but the 1374 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 4: one that stuck out was, what do you need the 1375 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 4: money for anyway? Your sick dog is dead? 1376 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 1: Now laid the dog. He's dead. Why are you bringing 1377 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 1: dead dogs into this? 1378 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 4: Just so many layers I can't even begin. Oh my god, 1379 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 4: my beautiful Toasty died about a month before this, after 1380 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,640 Speaker 4: we fought the bravest battle with his cancer. He was 1381 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:55,400 Speaker 4: my sole dog, and I was devastated. Oh, oh my god. 1382 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: Holy, this person's so bad. 1383 01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 4: She's landing her whole wedding, putting your money own for 1384 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 4: everything for it, bro Oh my god. I blinked at 1385 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 4: her and simply left the room, having no energy to 1386 01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 4: even respond to something so cool. I went back to 1387 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 4: my car, and after the silent twenty minutes drive home, 1388 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 4: I parked the car and immediately called the vendors and 1389 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 4: canceled any deposit under my car. 1390 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: Wow, can you cancel a deposit? That's a good question, 1391 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 1: unless maybe she just made it. I canceled every single one. 1392 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 1: After almost twenty calls, all that was left of her 1393 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: wedding was the dress and the flower arch. I texted 1394 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 1: my brother a short explanation. I told him that every 1395 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 1: vendor would be contacting him if they wished to keep 1396 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 1: their services, and they were now responsible for covering everything, 1397 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 1: and I would no longer be attending the wedding. Wow, 1398 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm surprised the brother hasn't like stepped in all and 1399 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: if this is how she was treating her now, she 1400 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 1: said she had a history of being mean to her, So, 1401 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: oh my god. 1402 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 4: It was a matter of minutes before my phone started 1403 01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 4: to explode and I just turned it off. Smart. Smart, Yeah, 1404 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 4: that's that's all you can do at that point. It's 1405 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 4: been a few days and I haven't talked to anyone 1406 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 4: but my mom, who thankfully understands where I'm coming from. 1407 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 4: My brother has tried to call, but I just feel 1408 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 4: terrible both about what I did and about what she said. 1409 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 4: I know what I did was extreme, but I also 1410 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 4: couldn't sit by and practically enable her cruelty anymore. I 1411 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 4: still can't help but feel bad for ruining my brother's 1412 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 4: big day. So I don't know. Am I the hole 1413 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 4: for this. 1414 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: Hmmm, I want to know what everyone else thinks. Put 1415 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 1: it into the comments, please please. I think something that 1416 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm feeling is like a little bit yes for canceling, 1417 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 1: but you also shouldn't have put your card down in 1418 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: the first place. 1419 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 4: That's where I'm like, she was not obligated to do 1420 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 4: that in the first like that was such an immense 1421 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 4: favor that like it kind of has this like feeling 1422 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,320 Speaker 4: on the surface of like, oh my gosh, you like 1423 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 4: canceled everything and ruined it. But it's like, you like, 1424 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 4: that is a very unreasonable thing to ask somebody if 1425 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 4: at any point, like imagine she had some expense come up, 1426 01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,439 Speaker 4: and it's like I can't like be leaded with these 1427 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,919 Speaker 4: potential It's just it's just a lot of liability. 1428 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 1: It's so much seemed like I feel like if OPI's 1429 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,560 Speaker 1: brother went through with the wedding, I think they would 1430 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: owe a ton of money and wouldn't be able to 1431 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,440 Speaker 1: pay it back, and I think then op would be 1432 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 1: out like a bunch of money. 1433 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 4: Honestly, this is probably like a really big dodged bullet 1434 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 4: because from everything we knew, it was three weeks to 1435 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 4: the wedding and they hadn't paid anything back, so it's like, 1436 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 4: why would they continue? Yeah? 1437 01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,919 Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, I mean I want to know what everyone 1438 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:33,600 Speaker 1: else thinks. That is an absolute crazy situation. I would 1439 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 1: never pay for someone's like someone, especially what I didn't like. 1440 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my only like thing on OP is like like, op, 1441 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,400 Speaker 4: don't do that to yourself, Like. 1442 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 1: You're putting yourself in a really bad position. 1443 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 4: Absolutely. I would also like to hear if you guys 1444 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 4: have any crazy wedding stories. 1445 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: Yes, we would love to hear that in the comments immediately. 1446 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 4: Yes, and we'll see you soon, see you soon. I 1447 01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 4: want to abandon my step son, but my husband won't. 1448 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 4: I think it's fine, am I the ahole? 1449 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 1: It is fine because if he's a little he deserves 1450 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: to be a bandited ooh sorry. My husband thirty nine 1451 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 1: male and I have been married for five years. We 1452 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 1: have two children of our own, both girls aged five 1453 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 1: and two, and I have a son, ten male from 1454 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 1: a previous marriage. 1455 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 4: But I was widowed. My husband's ex is barely involved 1456 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 4: in stepson's life at all. They got divorced when step 1457 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 4: son was two and his ex wanted a fresh start, 1458 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 4: so my husband did the decent, selfless thing and had 1459 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 4: complete custody of their son, even though he'd wanted shared custody. 1460 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 1: A fresh start. Imagine being like, yo, I know we 1461 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,439 Speaker 1: have this kid together, but I don't. 1462 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 4: I just want a fresh start. I got a bonus 1463 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 4: at work, and I really just want to go on 1464 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 4: vacation with my family just once. We've been on family 1465 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 4: vacations all together, lots of times, but just once. I 1466 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 4: want to spend my money on going on vacation where 1467 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 4: I'm not looking after someone else's kid. Ruh. When you 1468 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 4: get married, you take on that baggage. 1469 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that baggage is your baggage. 1470 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 4: I want step son to stay with his mom while 1471 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 4: we go on vacation. My husband sees my point of 1472 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 4: view and is okay with it. I don't think I'm 1473 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 4: being unreasonable at all. My mom found out what I 1474 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 4: was planning and says I'm being a complete ale. Yeah, 1475 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 4: I think so. These are the reasons that she says 1476 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 4: I could be the a hole one. My mom says 1477 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 4: that if step son's mom isn't properly involved in his life, 1478 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 4: I should be even more involved in his life to compensate. 1479 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 4: I think this is a completely unfair expectation. I don't know. 1480 01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,160 Speaker 1: I think if you marry an, you gotta kind of 1481 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: like marry you marry the kids too, kind of pardon 1482 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:37,760 Speaker 1: the deal. 1483 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 4: Number two. She also says that I'm being a hypocrite 1484 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,440 Speaker 4: taking my son, But I think that's totally different because 1485 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 4: my son doesn't have another parent and I'm all he's. 1486 01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Got oh pee. 1487 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 4: If step Son's mom won't take him just this once, 1488 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,640 Speaker 4: then obviously he'll come on vacation with us. But I 1489 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 4: don't think I'm the a hole to ask if I 1490 01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 4: can have a vacation with my own family just one time. 1491 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 4: He's part of your family, part of It's not like 1492 01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,959 Speaker 4: I hate my step son or something. He's a nice kid. 1493 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,920 Speaker 4: He's just not mine. Am i' the a whole?

We sat down and had a 1504 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,000 Speaker 4: really long talk about it. He told me he's never 1505 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 4: been comfortable with my attitude to my step son, but 1506 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 4: didn't know how to say it to me before. I 1507 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,439 Speaker 4: don't want to be a bad person. I just never 1508 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,440 Speaker 4: thought of stepchildren being your real children. 1509 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 1: I never thought of stepchildren being like real life human 1510 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 1: beings that have thoughts and feelings. 1511 01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 4: I don't think it would be easy for anyone to 1512 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 4: accept this level of criticism, but all of your replies 1513 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 4: have shown me I have a lot of work to do. 1514 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 1: I love how OPI phrased Thats like. Not everyone would 1515 01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 1: be as good as accepting the criticism as me, But 1516 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 1: I now know that I can and weird work on this. 1517 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 4: As many of you suggested, and so did my husband, 1518 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 4: I intend to see a therapist to help me with that. 1519 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,680 Speaker 4: As I said, I don't hate my step son in 1520 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 4: any way. I have never been deliberately cruel to him. 1521 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 4: I've just always thought of him as my husband's child. 1522 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 4: But I realize my mindset needs a change, so I'm 1523 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:32,759 Speaker 4: going to start working on that. I want my family 1524 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 4: to be the best it can be, and I need 1525 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 4: to accept that that includes my step son. I understand 1526 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 4: that now, and I'm going to start seeing a therapist 1527 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,639 Speaker 4: to become a better person. We've also talked about maybe 1528 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 4: having family therapy too. I've also made up with my 1529 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 4: mom and she is one hundred percent behind the changes 1530 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,759 Speaker 4: I want to make in my life. It wasn't easy 1531 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 4: to hear everything you said, but I understand that I 1532 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 4: needed to hear it. 1533 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 1: Damn straight.

Do you have a 1538 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 1: bad relationship with your step mom or dad or sibling. 1539 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 1: Put in the comments below. 1540 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:11,840 Speaker 4: We love to see you. 1541 01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 1: My sister demands a child free wedding, so I'm gonna 1542 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 1: boycott it because I'm with the children.

We don't really get along. 1563 01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,599 Speaker 1: So basically our parents are old farts. Well, I love 1564 01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 1: them and can no longer drive. I can't drive either, 1565 01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 1: but my husband can, as can my older sister. She's 1566 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: a single mom though, and had no one to watch 1567 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 1: her kids. I wonder if anyone can see where this 1568 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 1: is going. My husband and soon to be brother in 1569 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,840 Speaker 1: law hate each other. This does lot of hate going 1570 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:26,400 Speaker 1: on this family. 1571 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 4: Alright, Yeah, really, this is not good. They grew up 1572 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 4: together and there's just a lot of hard feelings there. 1573 01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 4: So my husband wasn't going to the wedding. I was 1574 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 4: going to have him drop me off. Wow, damn, what happened. 1575 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,639 Speaker 4: There's so much beef in this family. 1576 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: This is like a D grade porn movie because man, 1577 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 1: is there's some salami entering the picture? 1578 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 4: Did you order the extra large. 1579 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,720 Speaker 1: In the end Last weekend, after months of anxiety, I 1580 01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 1: said I would stay with the kids so my parents 1581 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 1: and sister could go. She will drive them and attend 1582 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 1: in my place once we decide if my husband gave 1583 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,280 Speaker 1: the okay to work on the day of the wedding. 1584 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 1: My sister get. 1585 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:05,839 Speaker 4: Lost our mind. 1586 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 1: Then decided she would have someone else drive our parents 1587 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and asked me to come. I told her, no, my 1588 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,839 Speaker 1: older sister wants to go. I'd rather her there anyway, 1589 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 1: as if one of our parents falls or something, she 1590 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 1: knows what to do. It also sounds like, ohp he 1591 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 1: just doesn't. 1592 01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 4: Want to go to this wedding. 1593 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,000 Speaker 1: No, this is just an excuse. 1594 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 4: Excuse. 1595 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,360 Speaker 1: Actually, sister lost it and said I was being selfish 1596 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:27,639 Speaker 1: and this is. 1597 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 4: Where I may have been the acle. 1598 01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: I then told her I didn't see the point in 1599 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: going to an event half the family would be missing. 1600 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,560 Speaker 1: From referencing the kids, I guess the child freness of 1601 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 1: the wedding. She said it should have mattered to me 1602 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: because I don't have kids. I then said they were 1603 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:47,439 Speaker 1: in better company than her and point blank refused to 1604 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 1: attend her wedding. Okay, so like not being able to 1605 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 1: is just an excuse, Like op, he legitimately doesn't want 1606 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,440 Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, yeah, even if the kids have a babysitter, 1607 01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 1: which sister is now offering to pay for, I wouldn't go. Oh, 1608 01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 1: she's so upset. I feel a little bad, but not much. 1609 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 1: My older sister says, I'm in the right. Second sister 1610 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,440 Speaker 1: says she feels really bad. Our parents aren't really acknowledging 1611 01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 1: the situation. I think they just want to see their 1612 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 1: daughter get married. So am I the a hole? What 1613 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:16,639 Speaker 1: do you think? 1614 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:18,439 Speaker 4: John? Also, what do you think about a. 1615 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:19,559 Speaker 1: Child free wedding? 1616 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 4: I understand it, but I don't know if I would 1617 01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 4: do that, or like, what if you wanted to have 1618 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 4: like a nudist wedding, rock out with it out, That's 1619 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 4: what I say. I don't think I would personally do it, 1620 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 4: but I could see wanting to have a child free wedding. 1621 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 4: I understand where it comes from. What if you're like 1622 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 4: you want you want to do. 1623 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 1: Like a rave You want to just do a bunch 1624 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 1: of drugs with your friends, yeah, or you want to 1625 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 1: go backpacking in the forest with a couple of pals, 1626 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:44,599 Speaker 1: and that's your wedding. 1627 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 4: There it is. 1628 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 1: I could see not wanting kids to be there. I 1629 01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 1: think op's a little bit of the a hole for 1630 01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 1: going that far. 1631 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 4: It's kind of like she's virtue signaling almost in a 1632 01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 4: way of like no, I want the kids there. It's 1633 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 4: like you just don't want to be there. Yeah. 1634 01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like there's something deeper against the sister. 1635 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:09,000 Speaker 1: But let's go into the updates. So apparently the vote 1636 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 1: for this story was everyone's the autole. Everyone who was 1637 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 1: asking about the drama between my husband and brother in law. 1638 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,640 Speaker 1: Here you go. I had to get permission from the 1639 01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,240 Speaker 1: sister in law before I could share. So my sister 1640 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 1: in law, husband's sister and soon to be brother in law, 1641 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 1: sister's almost husband dated in high school. He got her 1642 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:29,400 Speaker 1: pregnant and dip. He tried to force an abortion on 1643 01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:32,160 Speaker 1: her and accused her of cheating the whole shebang. When 1644 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 1: she had the baby, she had a DNA test done 1645 01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and sued him for child support. The entire time, he 1646 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 1: was slating her name, making her feel horrible, tried to 1647 01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 1: force her to put her son off for adoption. When 1648 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: the sun was five months old, he passed away due 1649 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 1: to an undetected medical issue. She was suffering and hospitalized. 1650 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,679 Speaker 1: Brother in law made a post about being free from 1651 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 1: the shackles of his bank draining baby mama and went 1652 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 1: on a partying streak to celebrate. Insists that she's a 1653 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,840 Speaker 1: bad mom even now and has never once visited his 1654 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,240 Speaker 1: son's grave and even skipped his funeral. Didn't tell his 1655 01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 1: own family members that he'd passed away, and they also 1656 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 1: missed his funeral. My husband effing hates him. He ended 1657 01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: up having to work over time to help pay for 1658 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,760 Speaker 1: the funeral as a fifteen year old because brother in 1659 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 1: law refuse to step up. He doesn't even acknowledge his son. 1660 01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 1: My sister in law is still recovering no thanks to him, 1661 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,240 Speaker 1: but has welcomed a baby girl in the past year 1662 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,920 Speaker 1: and she is an amazing mom. The term bad blood 1663 01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 1: is an understatement that is a crazy offshoot off. So wait, 1664 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,240 Speaker 1: so it was basically Opie's sister in law and the 1665 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,960 Speaker 1: soon to be brother in law dated in high school. 1666 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 4: Right, so the two of her siblings in laws used 1667 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 4: to date and one who's about to be and she 1668 01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,160 Speaker 4: absolutely so her husband's sister, yeah, right, which is kind 1669 01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,640 Speaker 4: of like, is Opie not warning her husband's and her 1670 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:04,960 Speaker 4: sister's almost husband, right, So wouldn't she be warning her sister, like, Hey, 1671 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 4: don't be with this guy. I don't know. 1672 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:13,200 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he probably already knows. Yeah, But maybe that's 1673 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 1: why they're so anti kid, Like, maybe the sister is like, kids, 1674 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you didn't go to this little shit's funeral. 1675 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 4: God. I mean that they kind of do sound like 1676 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 4: they're made for each other a little. 1677 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: Bit, like, which maybe is why Opie is like definitely 1678 01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,120 Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to the wedding because it seems 1679 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 1: like her sister. If her sister wants to marry this dude, 1680 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 1: does that say something about her own values? I kind 1681 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 1: of feel like it does. I think it does too. 1682 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 1: This makes me think that op is not an a 1683 01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:47,839 Speaker 1: hole for not going to the wedding. 1684 01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 4: So really the only thing here is like she was 1685 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 4: pointing at like the fact that oh, there's no children allowed, 1686 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 4: when in reality, she probably just doesn't want to go 1687 01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,719 Speaker 4: and like doesn't want to be around them. Right. Yes, 1688 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 4: maybe she's not being like fully honest per se, But 1689 01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 4: like at the end of the day. I feel like, 1690 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 4: if you know, I mean, the sister sounds like not 1691 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 4: fun to be around and not someone that you want 1692 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 4: to like spend time with. But also maybe she, like 1693 01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,479 Speaker 4: the sister herself, hasn't done anything as heinous, so. 1694 01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Help by association. 1695 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, this relationship seems to be in this weird limbo 1696 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 4: phase of like being siblings together or not. 1697 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's very complicated.

Sorry to hear that I never 1725 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,960 Speaker 4: wanted them here in the first place due to past issues, 1726 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 4: But after speaking with my husband, we decided for the 1727 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 4: sake of the young children to give them a place 1728 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,639 Speaker 4: to stay. Before they moved in, we set some ground 1729 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,360 Speaker 4: rules such as my brother in law must be actively 1730 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:49,639 Speaker 4: job searching, and they must respect capital riespectou four, our space, 1731 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:53,679 Speaker 4: and clean up after themselves.

When I tell them to 1738 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 4: clean up after themselves. They begrudgingly do it, but it's 1739 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 4: never a job well done.

Their whole family has 1756 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 4: turned my house into an effing zoo while contributing nothing. 1757 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 4: I have not been able to comfortably live in my 1758 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,800 Speaker 4: own space for the past few weeks. My husband could 1759 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 4: sense my frustration, so he told me he'd have a 1760 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,040 Speaker 4: talk with them and hire a maid to clean the house, 1761 01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:30,719 Speaker 4: and things got a little better. 1762 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,960 Speaker 1: I would hope, so until Oh no, thanks John, thanks 1763 01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 1: for the until you're welcome. 1764 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,839 Speaker 4: Yesterday, I get home from work early and the family 1765 01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 4: is gone good. I think peace and quiet for a 1766 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,920 Speaker 4: few hours. I decided to take a nap in my bedroom, 1767 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 4: only to find that my precious vase that my mother 1768 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 4: handmade for me was shattered on the ground. No, this 1769 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 4: is tough. I lost my mom when I was a teen. 1770 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 4: Oh and it is one of the last handmade items 1771 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,200 Speaker 4: that I have from her. 1772 01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:01,800 Speaker 1: That is tragic. 1773 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,519 Speaker 4: You would think if someone gave me their house to 1774 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 4: like live in, I would be like cleaning on my 1775 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:08,519 Speaker 4: absolute best behavior. 1776 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 1: Let John stay in your house. Everything will be fixed. 1777 01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:13,800 Speaker 1: It will smell like peaches and roses. When John's done 1778 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,640 Speaker 1: with it, I will crawl into your room at three 1779 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: am and whisper. 1780 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 4: Read its stories into your air. That's what you want, 1781 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 4: Oh God. I immediately knew it was the boys because 1782 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 4: there were toys inside my room and their tablet was 1783 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,960 Speaker 4: on my bed. I was so angry I ended up 1784 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 4: calling my husband explaining the situation, and told them that 1785 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 4: they would not stay another day in our house, no 1786 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:37,320 Speaker 4: questions asked. Then I went around the house picking up 1787 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:41,120 Speaker 4: their dirty clothes, toys, papers, and threw them outside onto 1788 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,360 Speaker 4: our lawn. When they came back, there was a huge 1789 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 4: confrontation between me and them. I listed all of the 1790 01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 4: disrespectful things that they've done, and that because they'd met 1791 01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,760 Speaker 4: none of the conditions outlined when they first moved in, 1792 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,719 Speaker 4: I wanted them off my property by midnight. I called 1793 01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 4: their kids untrained dogs. All right, zoy's just we tak 1794 01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 4: it a little far, a little far, they screamed back, 1795 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,760 Speaker 4: calling me heartless, cruel and evil, saying that I'd make 1796 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,640 Speaker 4: them homeless. Well, they did end up leaving after I 1797 01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 4: threatened to call the cops. Husband is fully on my side, 1798 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 4: but I can tell that he feels a little bad. 1799 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 4: Mother in law called me upset, asking me to take 1800 01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 4: them back in after I quote unquote forced them to 1801 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 4: sleep in their car last night. Am I the a 1802 01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:29,559 Speaker 4: hole boy? This is a tough one. 1803 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I mean they're obviously not respecting the house 1804 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,519 Speaker 1: and they've had multiple warnings. Yes, so I think it's 1805 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 1: not unreasonable to kick them out. Would I call their 1806 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:43,400 Speaker 1: children untrained dogs? No, it's too much, that's a little far. 1807 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,320 Speaker 1: But kicking them out, like, yeah, they're also three and four, 1808 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,879 Speaker 1: But it sounds like the mom is not doing anything 1809 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:55,160 Speaker 1: to help. It sounds like the kids are untrained, untrained children. 1810 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,840 Speaker 1: I can't blame Op for being a little emotional. That 1811 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,800 Speaker 1: connection to the mom was shattered, So I don't think 1812 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:01,799 Speaker 1: Op is the asshole. 1813 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 4: I definitely give her like much more of a pass. 1814 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 4: But the untrained dogs thing is kind of like, to 1815 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 4: re say it in a way that's actually useful. It's like, 1816 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 4: you literally do not parent your children. You're not there, 1817 01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:14,960 Speaker 4: you're locked in the room. That would at least let 1818 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:15,599 Speaker 4: her know like. 1819 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 1: You're doing something wrong and this is what you can 1820 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 1: do to fix it. Untrained dogs is just insult. Yeah yeah, yeah, 1821 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,639 Speaker 1: So maybe cool it on the untrained dogs. Maybe maybe, 1822 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 1: But uh, what would you do in this situation? Also? 1823 01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,600 Speaker 1: Have you ever had any house guests that have overstayed 1824 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: their welcome? 1825 01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,719 Speaker 4: I feel like there's some pretty crazy house guest stories that. 1826 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 1: We want to hear them, So put them in the 1827 01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,719 Speaker 1: comments below and just remember, you know you can stay 1828 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,599 Speaker 1: in the house of the okop fam.

Maybe 1830 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,719 Speaker 1: we'll you know, put a blow up mattress in there. Yeah, 1831 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 1: stay there for a while. Talk to each other, talk 1832 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 1: to us, talk to us because we love you so 1833 01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 1: very much. 1834 01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 4: We really do. 1835 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:50,920 Speaker 1: We love you. 1836 01:22:52,680 --> 01:23:01,639 Speaker 4: Very much, so very much, very much. See you next. Time. 1837 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,760 Speaker 4: My wife bowed my best friend, I refuse to forgive them, 1838 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,519 Speaker 4: and I'm plotting to ruin their lives? Am I the 1839 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,719 Speaker 4: a whole? So Pooped? My former best friend and Sarah 1840 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 4: have been like family to my wife and I for 1841 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:19,400 Speaker 4: several years, practically ever since we moved in across the 1842 01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,719 Speaker 4: street from them. The four of us were extremely tight. 1843 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,840 Speaker 4: That wasn't the only thing that was tight. Hey, our 1844 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 4: kids are the same age as theirs and all are 1845 01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,639 Speaker 4: good friends. We are one big family union. We did 1846 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 4: dinner together a few times a week, We went on 1847 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,160 Speaker 4: vacations together. I truly saw Poophead as a brother and 1848 01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:38,840 Speaker 4: my wife and Sarah were very close. To Five months ago, 1849 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,439 Speaker 4: I was completely blindsided by the discovery of an affair 1850 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 4: between my wife and Pooped. My wife had left her 1851 01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 4: email open on her computer and I saw an email 1852 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 4: from cheating over email people did. I saw an email 1853 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 4: from her longtime therapist saying that poop Head would be 1854 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 4: joining her at an upcoming session. Again, wait, why is 1855 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 4: Poophead going to I thought, uh, WTF. My mind started 1856 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,880 Speaker 4: racing why in the world would Pooped be going into 1857 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 4: her therapy sessions without my knowledge. I did a search 1858 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,920 Speaker 4: and found some other emails from the therapist, proving that 1859 01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,160 Speaker 4: Pooped had been going to sessions together with her for 1860 01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 4: about six weeks. What it is getting weirder? I checked 1861 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 4: our mobile phone account and discovered that since late summer, 1862 01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:29,080 Speaker 4: they had been exchanging hundreds of texts every day, peaking 1863 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:33,240 Speaker 4: at nearly five hundred per day by the holidays. How 1864 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 4: do you even send that many texts? That's like all day. 1865 01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 4: You just got to be like, oh, just like constantly 1866 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,679 Speaker 4: sending back and forth. Speaking of the holidays, my wife 1867 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 4: and I hosted both of our families, parents, siblings, et 1868 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,920 Speaker 4: cetera for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and Pooped and 1869 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 4: Sarah joined us either for dinner or after dinner on 1870 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:51,440 Speaker 4: both holidays. 1871 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:52,479 Speaker 1: Is Sarah no, though? 1872 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 4: That's the question. Text records showed the entire time that 1873 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,240 Speaker 4: they were at our house, celebrating with our families. My 1874 01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 4: wife and pooped were text each other from across the room. 1875 01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,880 Speaker 4: They were doing that pretty much every time the four 1876 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,840 Speaker 4: of us hung out for months, and you know, all 1877 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 4: day every day, just in general. But what bothers me 1878 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,360 Speaker 4: the most is that they were doing it with Sarah 1879 01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 4: and I right, Oh my god, probably made it hotter. Yeah, 1880 01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,680 Speaker 4: so warm. I confronted my wife with evidence, and she 1881 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 4: admitted that, yes, she and poop Head had fallen in love. 1882 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,599 Speaker 4: It just happened. I don't know how, but I love him, 1883 01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 4: and I just don't feel anything for you. 1884 01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:35,439 Speaker 1: Anymore, anything anything. I'm so sorry you feel nothing for 1885 01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:36,639 Speaker 1: the father of your children. 1886 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 4: They had gone on a school district trip together, something 1887 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,679 Speaker 4: had happened in her hotel room, and things had moved 1888 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:43,720 Speaker 4: quickly from there. 1889 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Oh god, I'm so sorry. Ope, that sucks. 1890 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 4: She explained as I lay face down on the couch, 1891 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,880 Speaker 4: unable to look at her, that they had already made 1892 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 4: plans to move out and divorce me and Sarah, and 1893 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 4: while they didn't plan to move in together immediately because 1894 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,240 Speaker 4: of the kids, they'd probably do so event Oh. The 1895 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 4: meetings with the therapists were supposedly mostly for the purpose 1896 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:06,680 Speaker 4: of finding a way to break this to me and 1897 01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:10,800 Speaker 4: Sarah as gently as possible, because they were so very 1898 01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,679 Speaker 4: concerned for our well being. 1899 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 1: I know I'm stabbing you in the heart right now, 1900 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,479 Speaker 1: but I'm really concerned about like taking out the night, 1901 01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:18,640 Speaker 1: So like, how do you want me to do it? 1902 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:19,439 Speaker 1: Do you want me to twist? 1903 01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 4: Sarah and I are fairly certain that they weren't planning 1904 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 4: on telling us about the affair at all, and we're 1905 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,519 Speaker 4: simply going to discover their feelings for one another several 1906 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 4: months down the line, after they'd come up with some 1907 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,759 Speaker 4: other reason to divorce the doors. Yeah, oh my god, 1908 01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,640 Speaker 4: my wife moved out two months ago. I was and 1909 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 4: still am utterly destroyed. I cry every day. I cried 1910 01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 4: writing the first few paragraphs of the story just now. 1911 01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,040 Speaker 4: I worry NonStop about the impact on our kids. But 1912 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 4: I'm also not exactly a shrinking violet when I feel 1913 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,400 Speaker 4: that I've been wronged, and in this case, I was 1914 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:59,960 Speaker 4: objectively very very wronged. You are correct, Opie, very very wrong. 1915 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 4: So a couple of weeks ago, Hooped ran for a 1916 01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:06,640 Speaker 4: Board of Education seat as a pretty extreme underdog. I 1917 01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 4: helped him with his campaign materials and debate prep and 1918 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,280 Speaker 4: my wife as a well known school district employee. This 1919 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:13,719 Speaker 4: becomes important later. 1920 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,439 Speaker 1: Oh oh, I sent some vengeance of Ruin. 1921 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,479 Speaker 4: Well. She got the word out the best she could, 1922 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 4: Much to our surprise, he actually won in a squeaker 1923 01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 4: by just a few dozen votes. Being on the board 1924 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,599 Speaker 4: became the center of Pooped's world. He joined every committee 1925 01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 4: that he could. This turned into the foundation of his 1926 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 4: affair with my wife, as they were constantly going to 1927 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:39,479 Speaker 4: school events and meeting together on evenings and weekends. Oh Man, 1928 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 4: Once I discovered the affair, my thoughts turned pretty quickly 1929 01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,400 Speaker 4: to revenge. Nice. It occurred to me that the extramarital 1930 01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,439 Speaker 4: affair between a member of the Board of Education and 1931 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:53,639 Speaker 4: an employee of the school districts probably doesn't look too good. Yeah, 1932 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:57,719 Speaker 4: that was at least bad politics and possibly violated district policy. 1933 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,040 Speaker 4: Making things far worse for them was that my my 1934 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 4: wife was in the running for an open administration position, 1935 01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 4: and everyone knew that she was more or less guaranteed 1936 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 4: the job and the major pay raise that came with it. 1937 01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,000 Speaker 4: Oh Man. She had just finished her master's degree in 1938 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,680 Speaker 4: school administration at the urging of her principle and the 1939 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,679 Speaker 4: superintendent so that she could be promoted to this specific position. 1940 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:21,800 Speaker 1: Oh peas have to plan to bring it. 1941 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,759 Speaker 4: Oh God. I had plenty of evidence of the affair, 1942 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,519 Speaker 4: texts from both of them admitting to it, text records 1943 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 4: showing that they were texting hundreds of times a day. 1944 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: There's texting about work. 1945 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,040 Speaker 4: I considered simply emailing all the evidence of the board 1946 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,080 Speaker 4: and the superintendent, but I felt like, as the grieving 1947 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:40,600 Speaker 4: betrayed spouse, that I might not be seen as a 1948 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:45,240 Speaker 4: credible source. So instead I invented a fictitious, furious friend 1949 01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,679 Speaker 4: who was planning on showing up to the next board 1950 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 4: meeting and publicly shaming the two of them for their affair. 1951 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 4: I told my wife that I tried to talk this 1952 01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,840 Speaker 4: person down, but couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't show up 1953 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 4: and humiliate them publicly as I expected. This led Pooped 1954 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 4: to conclclude that the only option was for him to 1955 01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 4: preemptively admit the affair to the board directly. Wow. The 1956 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 4: superintendent subsequently recommended that Pooped resign, which he did. Sarah 1957 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 4: said that he was utterly humiliated and crushed and barely 1958 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 4: got out of bed for a few days. Afterwards. Once 1959 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,479 Speaker 4: word of the affair and Pooped's resignation started getting around 1960 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,800 Speaker 4: the superintendent, a longtime friend of both my wife and 1961 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 4: Pooped contacted my wife and tearfully informed her that it 1962 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 4: was no longer politically appropriate for her to be promoted 1963 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 4: to an administrative position within the district. 1964 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean, hey, they deserve it. 1965 01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 4: My wife and I, despite our crumbling marriage, took our 1966 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:44,280 Speaker 4: son out to breakfast together on his birthday, and a 1967 01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,160 Speaker 4: parent stopped by our table to congratulate her on her 1968 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:50,320 Speaker 4: new role. She said thanks, then excused herself to go 1969 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:52,320 Speaker 4: cry in the bathroom for a while. I let the 1970 01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,559 Speaker 4: dust settle for a couple of weeks, and then, right 1971 01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 4: before my wife moved out, let them in on my 1972 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,599 Speaker 4: little secret. There was never a few curious friend threatening 1973 01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:04,720 Speaker 4: to expose them in the first place. It was me 1974 01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:07,960 Speaker 4: a word of all of us had gotten around our 1975 01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,600 Speaker 4: fairly small town, which Pooped grew up in and my 1976 01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:14,879 Speaker 4: wife worked in for nearly twenty years. My wife refuses 1977 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 4: to talk to me about how things are at work 1978 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,000 Speaker 4: right now, but I've heard from some people I know 1979 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:22,679 Speaker 4: in the district that her formerly spotless reputation has taken 1980 01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,960 Speaker 4: a major hit checks out.

Thanks for everyone one giving 2062 01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,000 Speaker 1: me the courage, and there is another update. So I 2063 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,040 Speaker 1: let her know I was quitting, that I saw the post, 2064 01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:08,120 Speaker 1: et cetera. She took a few hours to respond, and 2065 01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:12,080 Speaker 1: her response was unhinged. She told me I had no 2066 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,640 Speaker 1: right snooping on our social media and the footage was 2067 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 1: of her baby, so it was fine. She asked me 2068 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:20,960 Speaker 1: to please come in until she found a replacement. I 2069 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,759 Speaker 1: told her I was uncomfortable returning and that the video 2070 01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 1: and comments really upset me. She offered to remove the cameras, 2071 01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 1: but I stood strong and told her I was not 2072 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:34,519 Speaker 1: coming back. Snooping on social media? Social media is public? 2073 01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:36,560 Speaker 1: What do you mean? Snooping? 2074 01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,479 Speaker 4: Like also just a hilarious hypocrisy of like, let me 2075 01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:43,479 Speaker 4: post this video of you, having no idea that you're 2076 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 4: you know, we're recording and posting you like, but you're 2077 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:47,599 Speaker 4: snooping on me. Wait? 2078 01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:50,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of ridiculous. I asked her to remove the video, 2079 01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 1: and according to the family friend, it's been taken down. However, 2080 01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:56,000 Speaker 1: she must have blocked me, as I can't see her 2081 01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:59,080 Speaker 1: Facebook anymore. I haven't heard from her since Wednesday. Thank 2082 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,920 Speaker 1: you again for everyone encouraging me. I'm such a non 2083 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,240 Speaker 1: confidential person, and I think if I didn't post here, 2084 01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,680 Speaker 1: I would have never said anything. A nanny friend of 2085 01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:09,599 Speaker 1: mine is moving overseas, so her family has an opening 2086 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 1: coming up and they are amazing. My friend has let 2087 01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:15,040 Speaker 1: them know I'm looking, and so I may have a 2088 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:16,360 Speaker 1: new family already. 2089 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,639 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it's the best possible outcome that could 2090 01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,040 Speaker 4: have happened in this Yeah. 2091 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely weird too. I mean, I don't 2092 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:29,840 Speaker 1: know I can see wanting to post videos of your kids. 2093 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,400 Speaker 4: But because think about this too, going both ways. Like 2094 01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,719 Speaker 4: imagine there's like a nanny, probably younger you know, maybe 2095 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:38,720 Speaker 4: like early college age, high school age or whatever, and 2096 01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:40,719 Speaker 4: then she's like taking videos of the baby and stuff, 2097 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:43,840 Speaker 4: and then it just starts like uploading it and you're like, ah, like, 2098 01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:45,760 Speaker 4: I you know, don't know if I want you know 2099 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:47,519 Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, I feel like it's the apparently 2100 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,960 Speaker 4: ask you have to ask, and especially yeah, especially in 2101 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 4: an environment like that where you're like, I don't know, 2102 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,519 Speaker 4: it's just like changing into a baby, like it just yeah, 2103 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 4: feels a little weird, an even weirder, you know.

Sadly, 2162 01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,760 Speaker 4: he passed away in a car accident two years ago, 2163 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,360 Speaker 4: just before the beginning of the pandemic. Between grieving and 2164 01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:31,840 Speaker 4: the pandemic, I did not date it at all for 2165 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 4: about a year and a half, but decided to try 2166 01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,599 Speaker 4: to get out there and meet some people this past summer. 2167 01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 4: Once it was over. Online dating was just kind of 2168 01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:42,040 Speaker 4: a bust, but in the fall I connected with Joe, 2169 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 4: thirty seven, male who works at the same large company 2170 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:47,479 Speaker 4: as me, but in a completely different department. We're not 2171 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,840 Speaker 4: in the same chain of command, and our paths do 2172 01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:51,960 Speaker 4: not cross at all in terms of our work. We 2173 01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 4: just met at the employee Jim. We had lunch a 2174 01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:57,280 Speaker 4: few times and ultimately decided to start spending time together 2175 01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:00,960 Speaker 4: outside of work, evolving into a relationship we agreed to 2176 01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:07,040 Speaker 4: describe as committed casual. Committed casual I had never heard 2177 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 4: that term before. I guess it's like we're exclusively hooking 2178 01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 4: up with each other, but we're not putting any labels 2179 01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:15,400 Speaker 4: on it, right, Like you're my side piece, but my 2180 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:19,120 Speaker 4: one and only side piece. Yeah, exactly, as in monogamous, 2181 01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:22,360 Speaker 4: but just having fun and not planning for a future together. 2182 01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 4: We initially decided to do things this way because Joe 2183 01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:28,639 Speaker 4: is relocating this summer to another company office across the country, 2184 01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,400 Speaker 4: so with an expiration date looming, we wanted to enjoy 2185 01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:35,000 Speaker 4: each other's company without any particular expectations. This worked well 2186 01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,640 Speaker 4: for me too, because a big part of me was 2187 01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:41,120 Speaker 4: still grieving my husband, and as of a few months ago, 2188 01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,639 Speaker 4: I was not ready to think of a lifelong commitment 2189 01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:48,160 Speaker 4: to anyone else, which is like, very very standable. Honestly. 2190 01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,800 Speaker 4: About a week ago, Joe told me that he was 2191 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,240 Speaker 4: really falling for me and might want to rethink the 2192 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:57,439 Speaker 4: casual categorization that always happens. 2193 01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:00,640 Speaker 1: Happens, we can't keep casual casual? Why already is going 2194 01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:02,160 Speaker 1: to want to dress up for the occasion? 2195 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:07,480 Speaker 4: Oh goodness? I told him I was feeling the same way. 2196 01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:11,800 Speaker 4: Where's the sugar sugar baby ness coming in? Well, we 2197 01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,439 Speaker 4: get ready, because I'm about to sprinkle you with all 2198 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,479 Speaker 4: kinds of sugar, buddy, wrinkle it. But that I had 2199 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:20,480 Speaker 4: to tell him something about my past, with the understanding 2200 01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:24,800 Speaker 4: that it might be a deal breaker. Specifically, I had 2201 01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:29,600 Speaker 4: a very rough upbringing with parents who were both addicts alcoholics, 2202 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,080 Speaker 4: and instead of going in a bad direction, I threw 2203 01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 4: myself into school and I managed to graduate early from 2204 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:37,680 Speaker 4: high school and got a full scholarship to college at 2205 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:38,519 Speaker 4: the age of sixteen. 2206 01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:40,960 Speaker 1: Dude, that's a really big secret that she just shared, 2207 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:43,160 Speaker 1: really big, dark, deep secret. 2208 01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean it sounds like pretty that she pulled 2209 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,160 Speaker 4: herself out and you know, yeah, I mean it's a 2210 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:52,840 Speaker 4: very positive, very positive secret to keep myself A deep 2211 01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:53,439 Speaker 4: dark secret. 2212 01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:55,519 Speaker 1: Yeah right, where's the actual secret? I want to hear it. 2213 01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:59,160 Speaker 4: However, when I got to college, despite having my tuition 2214 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,920 Speaker 4: room and born covered, I was still broke and didn't 2215 01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:05,000 Speaker 4: have enough money for things like clothes and toiletries, et cetera. 2216 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,880 Speaker 4: I really struggled for the first couple of months. Due 2217 01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 4: to my age being under eighteen, I was turned down 2218 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,320 Speaker 4: for the on campus jobs I applied for. Oh that 2219 01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:16,639 Speaker 4: absolutely sucks.

Sixteen was the age of consent in 2235 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:03,040 Speaker 4: the state. Technically, this was not illegal, although morally wrong 2236 01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:09,120 Speaker 4: in retrospect, definitely weird, Yeah, very weird. It lasted throughout 2237 01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:12,320 Speaker 4: the time that I was sixteen to seventeen and really 2238 01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,120 Speaker 4: did help me survive. Mostly it was him buying me 2239 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,000 Speaker 4: practical things that I needed for school or just living, 2240 01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:20,960 Speaker 4: not luxury items, with a small amount of pocket money 2241 01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:24,160 Speaker 4: twenty to forty dollars here and there. When I turned eighteen, 2242 01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,000 Speaker 4: we mutually decided to end it, and I was able 2243 01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,280 Speaker 4: to get a couple part time on campus jobs. 2244 01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:29,920 Speaker 1: It's so weird. 2245 01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:35,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is very very very very predatory, like massively predatory, 2246 01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:38,080 Speaker 4: and like sixteen seventeen, like oh oh my, like a 2247 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:41,240 Speaker 4: forty year old. I graduated at twenty and went on 2248 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:43,840 Speaker 4: to get a master's degree and now have a good career. 2249 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,200 Speaker 4: I never had further contact with the older man. My 2250 01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,960 Speaker 4: classmate who was his daughter ended up transferring to another 2251 01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,280 Speaker 4: college and we lost touch, although I did look him 2252 01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:55,880 Speaker 4: up online now and then over the years and understood 2253 01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:58,320 Speaker 4: that he passed away a few years ago. I never 2254 01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:01,479 Speaker 4: repeated this sort of arrangement with anyone else. I met 2255 01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:04,280 Speaker 4: my husband a couple of years after things ended with 2256 01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:07,080 Speaker 4: the older guy, and he knew everything and he accepted me. 2257 01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,280 Speaker 4: But back to Joe, I would have completely understood him 2258 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:13,639 Speaker 4: not wanting to have an emotionally serious relationship with someone 2259 01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,519 Speaker 4: who essentially made it through college as a sex worker. 2260 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 4: So I wasn't that surprised that he was upset and 2261 01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,280 Speaker 4: angry and that he broke up with me. 2262 01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:25,559 Speaker 1: How about the context, Yeah, I have some and also 2263 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:27,040 Speaker 1: like I'm not I don't know if. 2264 01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:30,160 Speaker 4: I view that as like sex worker. No, like this 2265 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,360 Speaker 4: is you know, what we could dive more into in 2266 01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:36,200 Speaker 4: the end. But I think this is a very very 2267 01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:39,760 Speaker 4: benign other than from the guy's perspective. 2268 01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:41,360 Speaker 1: Guy's perspective, it's weird, but. 2269 01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,320 Speaker 4: From her side, like I do not think that I 2270 01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,479 Speaker 4: think is very far from worth breaking up with someone 2271 01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:51,240 Speaker 4: else very far. But I mean, hey, he can break 2272 01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,680 Speaker 4: up with whoever he wants to break up with, you know. However, 2273 01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,479 Speaker 4: I did not expect that he would go to h 2274 01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:00,240 Speaker 4: R at our mutual employer, telling them that I had 2275 01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:04,200 Speaker 4: hidden my sex work past and asked them to discipline 2276 01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:07,760 Speaker 4: me for misconduct. What what? 2277 01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:09,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't even sex work? 2278 01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:12,719 Speaker 4: This is insane. I just found out about this on Friday, 2279 01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,599 Speaker 4: and I am reeling. I know what I did was wrong, 2280 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,880 Speaker 4: at least morally speaking, but I was under eighteen and 2281 01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:22,360 Speaker 4: it was about twenty years ago. Yeah. I didn't think 2282 01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,880 Speaker 4: that my sex life as a teenager two decades ago 2283 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:26,639 Speaker 4: is my employer's business. 2284 01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:27,120 Speaker 1: It's not. 2285 01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,800 Speaker 4: It is not.

Yeah, 2308 01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:36,640 Speaker 4: I don't know. 2309 01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:37,680 Speaker 1: We're just so progressive. 2310 01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:42,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're so woke woke Daddy's. But let's see what 2311 01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:45,240 Speaker 4: happened here on this update. I know many folks requested 2312 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,719 Speaker 4: an update after my meeting with HR that took place 2313 01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:51,280 Speaker 4: earlier this week. First, I did retain an attorney who 2314 01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,559 Speaker 4: accompanied me to the meeting. That is actually genius. That 2315 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:58,400 Speaker 4: was really smart. Unfortunately, it didn't really help in this case. 2316 01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:02,800 Speaker 4: Is I was fired or cause Oh my god, no 2317 01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:07,120 Speaker 4: severance or transition period due to the potential to bring 2318 01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:10,840 Speaker 4: scandal slash aime to the company for my past as 2319 01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:16,200 Speaker 4: a prostitute. Where's the proof? Yeah, where's the proof? Like, 2320 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,800 Speaker 4: how do they have legal grounds to do this? Not 2321 01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:24,679 Speaker 4: just the proof, but also just discrimination laws, employees, employment laws. 2322 01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,559 Speaker 4: Like I feel like this is breaking every law, like 2323 01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:28,679 Speaker 4: multiple things. 2324 01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:31,559 Speaker 1: I don't understand how they could do that. I'm surprised 2325 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:35,360 Speaker 1: the lawyer didn't help. I feel like there's an ability 2326 01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:36,360 Speaker 1: to have a lawsuit here. 2327 01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:39,479 Speaker 4: Definitely, definitely, which hopefully is what happens, even though my 2328 01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:43,839 Speaker 4: company doesn't have a morality clause restricting sexual behavior or anything, 2329 01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,599 Speaker 4: even though it was twenty years ago, and even though 2330 01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:51,599 Speaker 4: it was one relationship and not ongoing escort work. Yes, 2331 01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:55,400 Speaker 4: I am exploring further legal action, both against my former 2332 01:46:55,520 --> 01:47:00,000 Speaker 4: employer and Joe, mostly against the company as I'm investigating, 2333 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,599 Speaker 4: for example, if they have penalized women for their sexual 2334 01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:06,320 Speaker 4: past but not men. Yeah, if they pull this kind 2335 01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:10,519 Speaker 4: of bolt, like doesn't make sense to penalize someone for 2336 01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,240 Speaker 4: their sexual past. There's no proof, so many like laws 2337 01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,599 Speaker 4: they're breaking and so many things they're doing wrong here 2338 01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:16,080 Speaker 4: the company. 2339 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:18,719 Speaker 1: Why couldn't you just say, yeah, I had a relationship 2340 01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:19,800 Speaker 1: with a guy and he supported me. 2341 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:20,719 Speaker 4: What is the deal? 2342 01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:22,559 Speaker 1: A lot of men support their partners. 2343 01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:25,479 Speaker 4: What's the difference between like a relationship where it's like 2344 01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:28,360 Speaker 4: we just call each other boyfriend and girlfriend? Yeah, but. 2345 01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:31,840 Speaker 1: Like this is both. 2346 01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:35,240 Speaker 4: Thankfully, I've been very careful with money and have enough 2347 01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:38,240 Speaker 4: to set aside to manage for a few years if needed, 2348 01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:40,559 Speaker 4: until I can get this resolved. I know this isn't 2349 01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:42,600 Speaker 4: the most satisfying update, but I know a lot of 2350 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,200 Speaker 4: people were curious about what did happen at the meeting. 2351 01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:48,200 Speaker 4: I do remain grateful for so many kind comments on 2352 01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:51,519 Speaker 4: my original post. So more info. No, I'm not going 2353 01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:54,080 Speaker 4: to name and shame in terms of the company. Wish 2354 01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:56,720 Speaker 4: I could, but after this post slash thread, I won't 2355 01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:00,160 Speaker 4: be discussing further to avoid compromising my case. Maybe way 2356 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:04,720 Speaker 4: down the road once any legal issues are resolved. Wow. 2357 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:09,599 Speaker 4: What a ridiculously insane thing for an employer to do. 2358 01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:12,200 Speaker 1: I know, I can't imagine that it's legal. I feel 2359 01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:13,080 Speaker 1: like they're gonna get screwed. 2360 01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:16,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would heavily suggest ope, get a second opinion 2361 01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,720 Speaker 4: from another lawyer. If the lawyer was like, oh, it's 2362 01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:20,800 Speaker 4: just caught like even us, Like, we're not lawyers, but 2363 01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:23,680 Speaker 4: I feel like they're making so many laws. Yeah, and 2364 01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:28,200 Speaker 4: just generally being poles. Yeah, this doesn't make any sense. 2365 01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:29,800 Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense at all. 2366 01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,240 Speaker 1: But what do you think I mean? I would love 2367 01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,400 Speaker 1: to hear your answers to the comments. And also, who's 2368 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,040 Speaker 1: been a sugar baby?

Here's the 2474 01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:43,439 Speaker 4: original advice I got. Go to HR. Never talk to HR. 2475 01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:45,800 Speaker 4: Go talk to a lawyer. Lawyer will waste your time. 2476 01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,479 Speaker 4: Your pants are fine, you need new pants. She wants 2477 01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:49,920 Speaker 4: to bang you. She hates you. 2478 01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:51,679 Speaker 1: That's classic Reddit. 2479 01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,080 Speaker 4: After dwelling on all of my options, I settled for 2480 01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,639 Speaker 4: a middle of the road approach. I contacted two well 2481 01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:58,880 Speaker 4: known lawyers in my area and I got a consultation 2482 01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:01,519 Speaker 4: from them about my situation. They both thought that while 2483 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,400 Speaker 4: I was sexually harassed, the case wasn't as bullet proof 2484 01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,920 Speaker 4: as there was little evidence and no pattern of abuse. 2485 01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:10,000 Speaker 4: They then also warned me about going to HR without 2486 01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:12,479 Speaker 4: any evidence, as it can cascade into me losing my 2487 01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,680 Speaker 4: job in unexpected ways. Since I needed evidence in a 2488 01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:18,160 Speaker 4: pattern of abuse, I first wanted to read up on 2489 01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,600 Speaker 4: what standards my company has set for managers when it 2490 01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:23,080 Speaker 4: comes to dealing with sexual harassment. I requested from our 2491 01:54:23,120 --> 01:54:26,760 Speaker 4: online learning catalog to take the sexual Harassment and Tough 2492 01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:29,840 Speaker 4: Conversations courses that are normally only required for managers. In 2493 01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:32,760 Speaker 4: the Tough Conversations module, there was a scenario where a 2494 01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:35,920 Speaker 4: male supervisor needed to ask a female employee to correct 2495 01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:38,560 Speaker 4: her work outfit as it didn't meet the company's dress code. 2496 01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:41,920 Speaker 4: This module, in plain English, states that the supervisor is 2497 01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:44,960 Speaker 4: not to intervene and refers the issue to HR. I 2498 01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:49,320 Speaker 4: assume that the inverse, a female supervisor reprimmending a male's 2499 01:54:49,360 --> 01:54:51,560 Speaker 4: outfit would follow the same standards. So I sent this 2500 01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:53,760 Speaker 4: email to my boss asking her to follow up on 2501 01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:56,200 Speaker 4: the conversation. To Boss, I want to clarify some things 2502 01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:59,040 Speaker 4: regarding my previous conversation. Please confirm whether or not. My 2503 01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:01,600 Speaker 4: understanding of the statement is correct. Oh my man is 2504 01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:02,200 Speaker 4: going in. 2505 01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:07,760 Speaker 1: Dude, that's like the corporate equivalent of you. 2506 01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:11,120 Speaker 4: My pants violated our dress code by being too tight 2507 01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:14,320 Speaker 4: and revealing my bulge. The issue pertains to all of 2508 01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 4: my pants, not a specific subset of my wardrobe. This 2509 01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:19,400 Speaker 4: is a requirement from management and not a request. Please 2510 01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:21,960 Speaker 4: get back to me, sincerely, Op. It took over a 2511 01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,200 Speaker 4: full work day, but here was the response. Yes, I 2512 01:55:25,240 --> 01:55:27,280 Speaker 4: did tell you to fix your wardrobe. This is not 2513 01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:30,400 Speaker 4: a request. Take us pants off right now. 2514 01:55:30,440 --> 01:55:33,200 Speaker 5: Good gravy dominatrix coming out. 2515 01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:37,320 Speaker 4: I immediately replied to boss. If management is demanding that 2516 01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:39,680 Speaker 4: I replace such a large amount of my work clothing, 2517 01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,040 Speaker 4: it must be done at the expense of company name. 2518 01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,040 Speaker 4: Please let me know if this is possible, as we'll 2519 01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:46,440 Speaker 4: have to work something else out if it isn't. Her response, 2520 01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:48,760 Speaker 4: This can be done, but I must be with you 2521 01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:52,200 Speaker 4: to supervise your shopping. Sounds like a date, a weird 2522 01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:55,040 Speaker 4: domina trix. Weird freaking date. 2523 01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:56,400 Speaker 5: She's forcing this date. 2524 01:55:56,520 --> 01:56:00,400 Speaker 4: Best kind of dates, right, check my schedule for my availability. Lord. 2525 01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:03,600 Speaker 4: Suddenly the she wants to bang you? Theories seemed less crazy. 2526 01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:05,600 Speaker 4: I backed up the emails to a personal account and 2527 01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:08,720 Speaker 4: sent everything to HR. Less than two hours later, I 2528 01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:10,760 Speaker 4: received a phone call asking me to come to HR 2529 01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:14,600 Speaker 4: immediately and drop my work unless it was time critical. 2530 01:56:14,720 --> 01:56:16,800 Speaker 4: I complied. I was told that they were taking this 2531 01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:19,080 Speaker 4: matter very seriously, and then I should take the rest 2532 01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,000 Speaker 4: of the day off. I came back to work today 2533 01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:26,320 Speaker 4: and boss is gone. Uh oh, dominatrix. 2534 01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:27,400 Speaker 5: Boss got out of there. 2535 01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:30,600 Speaker 4: I was told right before lunch that she had been 2536 01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:34,160 Speaker 4: placed on administrative leave pending a full investigation, and that 2537 01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:37,160 Speaker 4: I shouldn't worry. It's against company policy to engage in 2538 01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:40,840 Speaker 4: any form of professional retaliation. I sit here now like 2539 01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:44,520 Speaker 4: a king on a porcelain throne, telling you about my 2540 01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:50,600 Speaker 4: victory during my post lunch dump.

I came into her life six years ago 2597 01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:45,240 Speaker 1: when she was eleven. Her father is still in her 2598 01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:47,920 Speaker 1: life and visits her frequently at her house. Not a 2599 01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:50,879 Speaker 1: problem though, he's a nice guy. Her mother is not happy. 2600 01:59:50,960 --> 01:59:53,240 Speaker 1: She hasn't been happy for a long time. Her daughter 2601 01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:56,480 Speaker 1: is one of the worst behave kids I've ever seen, 2602 01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:59,200 Speaker 1: and it stresses my wife. We're not divorced yet. Out 2603 01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:02,080 Speaker 1: every single time, she's made it no secret that she 2604 02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:04,400 Speaker 1: hates me. It's like, it's a classic for stepdaughters to 2605 02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:05,120 Speaker 1: hate their step dads. 2606 02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:08,160 Speaker 4: It's how it goes. Man, she hates you. You try 2607 02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:09,720 Speaker 4: to go to Chuck E Cheese. She's like, you don't 2608 02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:10,320 Speaker 4: understand me. 2609 02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:13,040 Speaker 5: Maybe because you took your stepdaughter to Chuck E Cheese. 2610 02:00:13,120 --> 02:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you hate on Chuck E Cheese right now. 2611 02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:16,440 Speaker 5: Teenage girls do not like Chuck E Cheese. 2612 02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:17,440 Speaker 1: That is probably true. 2613 02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:19,600 Speaker 4: I was not a teenage girl, but I tried to 2614 02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:21,400 Speaker 4: go to Chuck E Cheese when I was seventeen and 2615 02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,600 Speaker 4: they wouldn't let me in because I was an legal adult. 2616 02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:25,400 Speaker 5: You showed up. He wanted to flick some children. 2617 02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:30,320 Speaker 1: They were like, ye here, John Fry child figure also 2618 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:31,200 Speaker 1: flick children. 2619 02:00:31,320 --> 02:00:32,920 Speaker 4: Just sounds terrible. 2620 02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:35,640 Speaker 1: Hey, dude, I'm glad that I don't have that on 2621 02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:36,560 Speaker 1: my title anymore. 2622 02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:38,640 Speaker 4: And you've taken the crown. No child. 2623 02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:43,440 Speaker 1: I remember when she was thirteen or fourteen, I paid 2624 02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:46,400 Speaker 1: for us to go to Disneyland as a family vacation cliche. 2625 02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:48,960 Speaker 1: I know she refuses to go until it was just 2626 02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:52,960 Speaker 1: her and mother, So you pay for everything. You just 2627 02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:58,240 Speaker 1: stick back classics. Since the trip was solely to make 2628 02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:01,680 Speaker 1: her happy and was largely for already, I went along 2629 02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:02,960 Speaker 1: with it and stayed at home. 2630 02:01:05,360 --> 02:01:06,320 Speaker 4: That's amazing. 2631 02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:09,720 Speaker 1: Oh stuff like that is the norm. Oh my god. 2632 02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:12,880 Speaker 1: She'll demand her mother put her before me at it, 2633 02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:16,320 Speaker 1: as in excluding me from every family event, and my 2634 02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:19,120 Speaker 1: wife can't put her foot down. She'll treat her mother 2635 02:01:19,400 --> 02:01:22,040 Speaker 1: like a maid and nothing more. It's not my wife's fault. 2636 02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:24,760 Speaker 1: She has emotional issues that make it hard for her. 2637 02:01:24,840 --> 02:01:27,560 Speaker 1: But it's ruined the marriage because I've grown to resent 2638 02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:31,000 Speaker 1: coming home to be around my stepdaughter. Anything I do 2639 02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:33,680 Speaker 1: to try to bond with her is met with resentment. 2640 02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:38,880 Speaker 1: Girl's playing the long game. She is playing ten D 2641 02:01:39,120 --> 02:01:43,320 Speaker 1: chests over there though she's seventeen now, so bonding with 2642 02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:45,879 Speaker 1: her is no longer a possibility. Anyway. 2643 02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:48,160 Speaker 4: My wife and I separated over this, so I guess 2644 02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:49,040 Speaker 4: she got what she wanted. 2645 02:01:49,120 --> 02:01:52,160 Speaker 5: Damn. It's like reverse parent trap. 2646 02:01:52,920 --> 02:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Literally, it's just too much for me to bear. But 2647 02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at my wife. I'm sad that she 2648 02:01:57,880 --> 02:01:59,800 Speaker 1: has to put up with her daughter's behavior for the 2649 02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:02,920 Speaker 1: of her life. I decided to give my stepdaughter a 2650 02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:06,600 Speaker 1: dose of reality and explain in no uncertain terms, she 2651 02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:08,919 Speaker 1: is the reason for our divorce. 2652 02:02:09,200 --> 02:02:13,160 Speaker 4: Destroyer. You took away Disney, I will take away your life. 2653 02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:15,560 Speaker 1: I didn't do this to spite her, because, frankly, I'm 2654 02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:17,320 Speaker 1: ready to move on with my life. I did it 2655 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:20,520 Speaker 1: so she understands just how bloody selfish she is and 2656 02:02:20,560 --> 02:02:23,320 Speaker 1: how much emotional pain she put her poor mother through. 2657 02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:25,520 Speaker 1: I did it so she doesn't ruin her mother's future 2658 02:02:25,560 --> 02:02:29,400 Speaker 1: relationships like she did ours. She isn't moving out anytime soon, 2659 02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:31,320 Speaker 1: which I feels like a subtle drag where it's like 2660 02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:32,800 Speaker 1: this girl ain't up to nothing. 2661 02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:33,040 Speaker 4: Good. 2662 02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Wife and daughter's father are furious at me for telling 2663 02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:40,040 Speaker 1: their daughter this. They say it's going to be emotionally 2664 02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,240 Speaker 1: scarring for her, but quite frankly, I think she needed 2665 02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:46,160 Speaker 1: to be told. So am I the A hole question? 2666 02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:50,760 Speaker 1: Is opda hole for telling the stepdaughter that she is 2667 02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:52,680 Speaker 1: the direct cause of the divorce. 2668 02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,800 Speaker 5: Absolutely, this child does not know any better. 2669 02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:58,440 Speaker 6: I mean, at this point, she's nineteen, but it sounds 2670 02:02:58,520 --> 02:03:00,680 Speaker 6: like I'm gonna have some empathy for the child. She 2671 02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:03,760 Speaker 6: hasn't had a stable home life, her mom's a pushover, 2672 02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:06,480 Speaker 6: her stepdad took her to chuck e cheese, Like this 2673 02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:09,440 Speaker 6: is there's so much happening here, so much child with trauma, 2674 02:03:09,480 --> 02:03:12,400 Speaker 6: that she'll wants she'll realize the therapy that like this 2675 02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:14,560 Speaker 6: guy didn't need to go in and put her in 2676 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:16,640 Speaker 6: her place, like get out of dodge, like. 2677 02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:17,560 Speaker 5: The marriage is over. 2678 02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:20,120 Speaker 1: If he's actually trying to do what he's saying, he's 2679 02:03:20,160 --> 02:03:21,760 Speaker 1: trying to do her it's like, hey, yeah, I want 2680 02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:23,920 Speaker 1: to help her in her relationships in the future. I 2681 02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:26,280 Speaker 1: want to make sure she doesn't do this to her 2682 02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:29,440 Speaker 1: mom's future relationships. Like if he's actually trying to do that, 2683 02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:31,920 Speaker 1: does he say anything? And what does he say? 2684 02:03:32,080 --> 02:03:33,920 Speaker 5: I think he needs to pass the combat of the mom. 2685 02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:35,600 Speaker 5: The mom needs to step up and be a parent. 2686 02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:36,200 Speaker 6: Mm. 2687 02:03:37,400 --> 02:03:40,480 Speaker 1: So you think don't have the conversation with the kid, 2688 02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:41,920 Speaker 1: have the conversation. 2689 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:42,120 Speaker 4: With with mom. 2690 02:03:42,280 --> 02:03:44,040 Speaker 6: Well, it doesn't sound like they broke up because of 2691 02:03:44,080 --> 02:03:46,360 Speaker 6: a lack of love. It sounds like they apparently broke 2692 02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:49,840 Speaker 6: up because of this demon child. So yeah, I think 2693 02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:52,120 Speaker 6: you know what this is actually like a really twisted 2694 02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:54,440 Speaker 6: parent trap like she thinks she's breaking them up, but 2695 02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:56,920 Speaker 6: really it brings them together over the common bond of 2696 02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:58,600 Speaker 6: having to try and fix this child. 2697 02:03:58,880 --> 02:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Interesting, that's a beautiful moment of coming together.
