1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: My friend pushed me and my husband together by giving 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: us a common enemy at her wedding. 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: Her that title makes way more sense when you say. 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: It, okay, Riley. I was reading the titles before. He 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: was like, what does it mean? And then he read 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: it out loud. He was like, oh, So for a 7 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: little background, I met this friend in my second semester 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: of college. Let's call her Anne. Anne and I were 9 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: around the same age, nineteen ish. At the time, I'd 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: been dating this awful dude that I met in high school, Charlotte. 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: Hear me when I say this guy was awful. Like 12 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: for context, we would carpool and I would show up 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: early enough to watch his mother fall on cartoon style 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: tiptoe into this grown butt man's bedroom to give him 15 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: a cup of coffee in the dark while she whispered 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: for him to wake up. What how old is he? Oh? 17 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: This was in high school. That's so weird. Then he 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: would eventually get out of bed and come into the 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: dining room, where she had set out his phone, wallet, keys, 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: and lunch money and assembly line fashion to pick up. 21 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: As he passed, he would literally snap his fingers at 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: her like she was a dog, and point for her 23 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: to leave the room. Sometimes. He was like the first 24 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: serious boyfriend I'd had, and I ignored all the red flags. Yikes. 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: I can't imagine treating like one of my parents like that. 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: That's insane, the lack of respect. I wonder your parents 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: with respect. Yeah, I wonder how his dad treated the mom. 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: If that's how he's treating her. 29 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: Ah, that's so sad. I'm not gonna think about that. 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, because I feel like it's learned behavior. Anyway, 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: I digress now, and was an equally toxic force to 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: enter my life. She was the kind of girl that 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: kept three or four other girls around her and would 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: choose on a whim who was her favorite and rub 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: it in the rest of our faces. Mean girls, Mean girls. 36 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: I was a big tom by growing up, so these 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: social games weren't the kind of things I had a 38 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: lot of experience navigating. Obviously, that was why I was chosen. 39 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: Ann always flirted that line of control where she made 40 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: me feel the pressure and made me anxious that we'd 41 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: stop being friends over things, but she'd never completely commit 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: to it and break it off. It should come as 43 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: zero surprise that she and the toxic boyfriend I had 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: at the time, absolutely hated each other because they're both 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: trying to control Opie. That's yikes. That sucks. By the way, 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: this comes from Cajun Spice eleven thirteen on the Arslashoke 47 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: storytime Separate It. So at some point Anne met my 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: future husband let's call him Garrett, and she immediately started 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: pushing him at me. I guess even a broken clocks 50 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: right twice a day, right. Garrett and I happened to 51 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: share a humanities class at the same semester, and he 52 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: gave me the sweetest smile I'd ever seen, the kind 53 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: that is so genuine and well meaning and reaches their eyes. 54 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: It also tipped off my girly senses that he liked 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: though oo but Nike. I was always very transparent with 56 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: him that I had a boyfriend and that I was 57 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: not available. But your boyfriend sucks. He's staks. Get rid 58 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: of him, rom call him this right now, go a 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: courtesy said crap. Boyfriend would not extend as he would. 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: Cheat on me. 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 2: Oh uh, terrible, Then he'll cheat on you. You don't 62 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: even have to cheat. 63 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: He respected that completely, but remained in our friend group 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: due to genuine connection and a lot of Anne's persistence 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: and never stopped trying to wedge together until our own 66 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: friendship fell apart. And then she tried to convince Garrett 67 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: never to talk to me again, at which point he 68 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: dropped her. But that's not the story. 69 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Aw a't w Garrett. 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: W Garrett on to Ann's fiance. Let's call him Blake. 71 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: Anne used to have an account on an old site 72 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: called Vampire Freaks. It's one of those goth emo phased 73 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: social sites that I was totally a part of myself 74 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: in high school. Basically, Anne won the online dating lottery 75 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: with this dude. Blake is Chinese born British. His family 76 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: moved to the UK after he was born in Hong Kong. 77 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: He speaks fluent Cantonese, has a black belt in taekwondo, 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: speaks with a British accent. Think creepy PASTA guy comes 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: from old money and is on the fast track to 80 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: getting his license to be a psychiatrist. Like the most 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: eligible bachelor. She went overseas to meet him in person 82 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: for the first time with her very young son, whoa 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: she had son, and he then moved to Louisiana, our state, 84 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: to be with her. I knew Anne for about a 85 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: year before she got married. If my memory's right, this 86 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: happened over a decade ago. I've drank since then. That's 87 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: so funny. If he's like it, it was a long 88 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: time ago. And also I've been drinking a lot. She 89 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: comes from about as opposite a background from Blake as 90 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: you can fathom. He's never has never left Louisiana. Not 91 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: a very rich background, very little family, with not a 92 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: lot of familial tie in it, etc. Seemed like a 93 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: complete op. It's a tract Cinderella type story. Naturally, those 94 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: things don't matter. What matters it is that they love 95 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: each other and the life they create going forward. I 96 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: did notice certain personality clashes with them, though, and a 97 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: certain lack of affection that I would have expected from 98 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: an engaged couple. First of all, Anne loves drama. Who 99 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: doesn't she loves it, loves it? Is this still the 100 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: mean girl? And yeah? AND's the mean girl? Okay, okay. 101 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: There were a few fights that she would have with us, 102 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: her friend group, and sometimes with other girls that she 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: would drag out and make far more personal than it 104 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: needed to be. She had a mean streak, basically, and 105 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: she wrote it off as her being assertive or confident. Blake, 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: on the other hand, was always very reserved and calm. 107 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: He wanted peace, he wanted to get along, and he 108 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: was a very nice guy in ways like that. I 109 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: remember kind of pondering how they got along so well, 110 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: because to me, those are personality traits that I've never 111 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: seen be compatible. And then it just always seemed to 112 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: be like Blake was always somewhere else, which I always 113 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: attributed it to him being in the middle of studying 114 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: to be become a psychiatrists, just. 115 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: Off somewhere has it. Texted me for a while, texted her, 116 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: and he's just in my my, in his room doing whatever, 117 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: reading a book. 118 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't know where you're going with this? 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: Is he? Because I'm Anne? 120 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: Oh you're Ann? 121 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: Ok? 122 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah yeah. It seems like Anne's got her own 123 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: kind of She's got like a great guy, but she's 124 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: not a great partner. It doesn't seem like an O 125 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: Pece wow O Pie's off on the side having a 126 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 1: great well actually not yet. She's still with her toxic boyfriend, 127 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: but she's potentially getting with this with this Garrett character. 128 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: During this time when they're engaged and increasingly as the 129 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: wedding approaches. Anne starts telling me all these horror stories 130 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: about Blake's family, especially about Blake's sister, who also shared 131 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: her same name, so I'll call her Annie to differentiate. 132 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: She would tell me all about how Annie hated her 133 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: and look down on her and would always try and 134 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: steal Blake's attention from her. She would tell me that 135 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Annie wanted to break up the wedding and was always 136 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: trying to convince Blake to come back to the UK. Naturally, 137 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: not knowing Annie and only knowing Anne, I just believed it. 138 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: I think that we're sensing a pattern from Anne though, 139 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: of manipulating situations where she's probably kind of inciting these problems. Yeah. 140 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, and she starts she's probably starting the drama 141 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: with Annie the sister. 142 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's not starting drama. She loves it. She 143 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: wants attention. 144 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And I hate this for Blake because Blake 145 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 4: seems like he's he's just a guy. He's just a 146 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 4: little British dude, just trying to live his life, trying 147 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 4: to study. Fast forward to the wedding. I am an 148 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 4: unofficial bridesmaid, which basically means I have a responsibility to 149 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 4: her during the wedding and reception without actually being a bridesmaid. 150 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 4: I see that now in the rear view, but I 151 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: was just happy to be there. On the day of 152 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 4: my now husband offered to DJ the wedding for free. 153 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: It was a very small wedding at a local venue 154 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: where the food was homemade. I absolutely loved it. I 155 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 4: hate being made a fuss of and it wound up 156 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: being what my husband and I did for our own wedding. 157 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: So thanks An, I guess and you know, and provided 158 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 4: you a lot. She told like she was really against 159 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 4: your toxic partner. She was trying to get you with 160 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: garrettch She gave you her wedding idea. I think it's 161 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 4: actually pretty great. 162 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: And and the Angel. 163 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: The drama, Yeah. 164 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: I love that. Every time I go back to my hometown, 165 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: like what's the tea? 166 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: What's the tea? I love hearing little goss, you know. 167 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: And sometimes people are like, well, you don't know them, 168 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't care exactly. That makes it 169 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: even better. I'd actually prefer not to know them. 170 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: It's like my own little niche reality Yeavy show. 171 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: Everything felt really intimate and fun. And there's a photo 172 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: somewhere with my husband and I laughing dancing barefoot in 173 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: the grass. It was really sweet. And that was at 174 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: Ann's wedding on tail dot dot dot. This is where 175 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: things go south. Like I said, I hate having anyone 176 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: fuss over me for any reason, so this event was 177 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: amazing to me. Anne, however, is not that kind of person, 178 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: which is fine. I really enjoy seeing the big and 179 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: opulent weddings too. Who doesn't. But Anne's family was the 180 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: one paying for this wedding, and as I said, they 181 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: aren't well off. They're about as polar opposite as Blake's 182 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: old money family can get. I wonder why Blake didn't 183 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: spin if he's got the funds. Maybe the family doesn't 184 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: like her and they didn't want to pay for the 185 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: wedding or something like that. 186 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: Probably or any Annie's also manipulating and telling false stories about. 187 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: Anne or Annie Annie's any sister. 188 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: I know Annie is telling Yeah, so now the family 189 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 2: doesn't like Anne. 190 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Or maybe true things about Anne. Ooh ooh. A lot 191 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: of Anne's budget was spent on her dress, which was 192 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: gorgeous and fit her like a glove. It was everything 193 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: she wanted in more. It was also very heavy though, 194 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: and we're talking about a late summer wedding in the 195 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: Deep South during the afternoon. Oooooo, I can imagine that 196 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: would be humid, very very and outside wedding. Ooh and 197 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: it also just rained, Oh my god. So the grass 198 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: was soggy, the mosquitoes were in full force, and the 199 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: humidity was killer and started getting pretty miserable pretty fast. 200 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: But she didn't want to take the dress off because 201 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: she wanted to keep showing it off. And I mean, dude, 202 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: I get it, you paid a fortune, get all it's 203 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: worth out of it, But don't then sit there demanding 204 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: your wedding party official and unofficial to hover over you 205 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: while you be and moan about how miserable it is 206 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: and get pissed off. If your husband tries speaking to 207 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: his parents and sister who flew over an ocean to 208 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: come and see him, that does sound kind of like 209 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: my nightmare though, wearing a heavy guy in humid heat 210 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: with missus pell's now just humidity, and he would kill her, 211 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: kill her, I die. I would be passed out. After 212 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: the reception, there was a cabin that Anne and Blake 213 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: had rented out to spend the night in. Anne demanded 214 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: all of us the pure age group. Not the parents 215 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: come over there to drink and party with them. Now, 216 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: bear in mind, it's very late and we've gone through 217 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: a whole wedding and reception in the heat, and not 218 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: she wants to drink, but very bluntly tells all of 219 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: us that we can't stay the night. We all live 220 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: about two to three hours away, because this is deep 221 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: in the sticks. Still, my future husband was driving us 222 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: and he was down. He too, is a recovering people pleaser. 223 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: We get in our cars and we follow Blake and 224 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: Anne's car. Annie, Blake's sister, rode with another guy that 225 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: was in our friend group and that was known for 226 00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: being a serial flirt and dater. Annie is very pretty okay. 227 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: When we get to the cabin. Before I can even 228 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: get out of my future husband's car, I hear and 229 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: screaming in a fit of rage. I have no idea 230 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: what could have happened in that ten minute drive. All 231 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: I know is that my friend is having a full 232 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: blown meltdown and all of her friends are just standing 233 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: around her and staring. The introvert in me has me 234 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: moving to gather her up and relocate her into the 235 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: cabin and away from all the staring. I can't make 236 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: out a single word of what's wrong. And then she 237 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: gets to the point where she doesn't even want to 238 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: tell me. She says she needs to change and get comfortable, 239 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: and I am all for that and let her go 240 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: to the back room to change. Bear in mind, Blake 241 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: is with us, trying to calm her down, using soft 242 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: words and soft touches. He is stone faced and staring 243 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: at nothing. When I get up to go outside, it 244 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: was kind of a look of what the f did 245 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: I just do today? Oh, he's regretting the wedding already, 246 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: the incident. This is it for the marriage, it's over, already, 247 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: just happened. I wonder, I wonder what happened. So I 248 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: go outside to see what the hell happened. Apparently Blake 249 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: and Anne had gotten in the car to come to 250 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: the cabin, and Blake had the audacity to say one 251 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: tiny little thing, I hope Steph, the flirtatious friend keeps 252 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: his hands to himself. That's it, It's all he said. 253 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: He just verbalized that he opens his friend wouldn't hit 254 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: on his sister because they would be in a car together. 255 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: That's that. Also, this is his friend. 256 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's one. 257 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, it's still a little bit crazy 258 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: if she had that reaction if it was her friend. 259 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: But this is his friend. 260 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: She keeps her hands to herself when she sees my friends. 261 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 2: It's just you could just say that she's a flirtatious person. 262 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: You can you could say that what yeah. 263 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Okay, for the sake of this story, sure, but that 264 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: is an insane, real action for her to have. 265 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 2: It sounds like you would say that to a friend, like, Oh, 266 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: I just hope it's a joke to jo Joe. 267 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's his sister and his friend. Why is she 268 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: getting so defensive? Anne lost her mind. She started screaming 269 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: about how Blake didn't care about her and that all 270 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: he cared about was his b sister. If you call 271 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: a person's sister a. 272 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: B but you want to get through and be stronger 273 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: as a couple, start off on hard mode, yeah, and 274 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: attacked her family. 275 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and then it can only go up 276 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: from there. All of this was confirmed by Anne's uncle, 277 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: who drove them there. She ripped him a new one, 278 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: accusing him of not loving her and all kinds of 279 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: wild bs just for being concerned for his sister. For 280 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: one second. Garrett and I were totally shocked. She's very 281 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: much like we know, she likes drama. It also seems 282 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: like she has to be the center attention at all times. 283 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: She escalates things. 284 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and if she's not, you know, his number one 285 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: priority or his only priority at least, and then she's 286 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: she freaks out. And that's that's a huge red flag 287 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: if a person, if your partner is against you having 288 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: a relationship with your your sibling. 289 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: Being concerned, make a little joke about it. 290 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, not the one for you. That's 291 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: when we got to know Blake's sister Annie for the 292 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: first time. She was so beside herself for hearing her 293 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: brother being mistreated like that, she let all the te 294 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: go and the full reason for why she and Anne 295 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: didn't get along. Apparently, Anne and Blake did indeed start 296 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: speaking on vampire Freaks, but Blake wasn't really all that's 297 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: serious about her. For him, it didn't really exit the 298 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: online fun stage into anything serious, not until Anne surprised 299 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: him with a visit to the UK with her baby boy, 300 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: who she said was already calling Blake daddy when they 301 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: showed up. So manipulative, who freaky. Okay, it's this kid. 302 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 5: Who is this kid? 303 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: So it seems like Anne had a previous relationship where 304 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: she had she had a son, and then she's bringing 305 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: this son and kind of guilt tripping Blake into being like, oh, 306 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: my son already kind of sees you as a father, 307 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: even though they only had an online relationship prior to this. 308 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: That's so wid that's so she went in the UK. 309 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: She went all the way to the UK and kind 310 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: of like pushed her son and herself on Blake, take 311 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: us in. Yeah, she basically manipulated him into it. Annie 312 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: said that all her brother ever talked about with her 313 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: was that there was a kid involved, and he was 314 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: already thinking that Blake was his dad and he felt 315 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: the pressure. Suddenly, the whole relationship looked totally different to me, 316 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: especially when I go inside to check on them and 317 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: Anne has magically cheered up as she opens wedding presents. 318 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, yeah, almost all of them were from 319 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: Blake's family, and some of them were so expensive that 320 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: I crap you not. 321 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: There was a ruby and a diamond encrusted necklace. I'm 322 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: talking lavish friend. She was all smiles. Then it seems 323 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: like she's a little bit gold digger. Oh yeah, a 324 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: little bit of a gold digger dude, Like she shows 325 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: up with a kid and says, oh, hey, you need 326 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: to take care of us. 327 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: On Vampire Freaks. Dang, get you new male Vampireaks dot 328 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: com guys Sea today. 329 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: Needless to say, Garrett and I left not long after 330 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: that because we didn't really feel like celebrating. On the 331 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: way home, which took two hours longer because Garrett had 332 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: to keep stopping to stand up and wake up, we 333 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: talked on and off about what had happened, and that 334 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: branched into other conversations. We kissed when he dropped me off, 335 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: and the rest is history. But I think this must 336 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: have been their first kiss or something like that, which 337 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: is so cute. I love that something nice could you know, 338 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: come out of this horrible relationship. So yeah, I guess 339 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: sometimes bridezillas can have good effects too. But that's the 340 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: story of how this bridezilla literally shoved my husband into 341 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: my life. We make eleven years next month, and he's 342 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: still my favorite person on the planet. 343 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: Oh well, that answers your question. 344 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: That's great. I also realized I forgot oh he was 345 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: in that toxic relationship and said like, I can't be 346 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: in a relationship with you, and so this is probably 347 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: she just got she got out of the relationship, and 348 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: then they kissed. 349 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. 350 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: Edit eep. Sorry, So the last time I checked, they 351 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: were still together and they even have a daughter. Now 352 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to see if my husband, who's still in 353 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: social media, can hunt down more. He's good at that 354 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: kind of thing. And edit too. Well, y'all, this may 355 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: just be a lesson in checking your whimsy when you 356 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: decide to do something for the hell of it. You 357 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: won't believe this update because I can barely wrap my 358 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: head around it. Wait, it's about to get crazy. 359 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 3: I think we all read it crazy. What the what 360 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: the what is missing? What she has been for eight years? 361 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: What has happened? I thought this was like wrapped up. 362 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: This was like, Oh, Annie and Blake, you know they 363 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: you know, their marriage sucks, but they're still together. I 364 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: got married to Garrett. 365 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: Now she's missing. I don't know a whole lot. All 366 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: I found were two news articles and a one Facebook 367 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: post from her sister about half a year after the fact, 368 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: the same year she went missing, trying to find answers. 369 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: That's kind of typical for you when you don't have 370 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: a rich family that can afford to keep your name 371 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: in the papers. What I know her name is at 372 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: the time of the articles back to made a name, 373 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: and there's no mention of Blake whatsoever. There is, in fact, 374 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: a mention of a totally different and local guy that 375 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: Anne's sister suspects she could have been with. The sister 376 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: thinks maybe she's somewhere in our area or in West 377 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: Texas nearest border to us. Well, the news doesn't list 378 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: her kids' names, they do list them as kids as 379 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: in multiple she said, more kids. I'm so sure. I 380 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: remember seeing a photo of she and Blake with her 381 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: son and a little girl. We scoured her old Facebook, 382 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: which is inactive now for over a decade, and it 383 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: makes mention of living in France, missing her son, and 384 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: as things like Nostov just I'm all basically means you 385 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: don't just find love and I don't care if you 386 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: don't like me, okay with Semi SCHMEXI photos. What is 387 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: going on with Anne? She's like she ran away to 388 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: France and thirteen and thirteen she's buried in the backyard. 389 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: It's a rich family had to get rid of it. 390 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: She's ruining their whole thing. Okay, but it seems like 391 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: someone's implying that he's implying that she like ran away 392 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: to France. She just she needs, you know what? I think? 393 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: It was like she got out of her relationship with 394 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: Blake and she was like, what is the most dramatic 395 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, I can you know what's the most drama 396 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: I can bring into my life running away to France. 397 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: In one of the articles from a major local news outlet, 398 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: her stepdad says that she started acting weird around Marty 399 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: Grass the year she went missing. That means anywhere between 400 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: February and April, depending that year. It was in February, 401 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: and they suspected mental health issues. Apparently, Anne got further 402 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: education after returning to the States, then became a teacher 403 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: in the New Orleans area, where she taught for the 404 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: total of a week before quitting and coming back to 405 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: her area for the Marty Grass season. Her stepfather said 406 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: that they got her some help, which she's stuck with 407 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: for all of two weeks, then left and they haven't 408 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: seen her since April. Oh my gosh, woh where are 409 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: these kids? What is going on with Ann. As I'm 410 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: writing this, Garrett found further info from a Facebook friend. 411 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: Garrett is really great at tracking down this information. Crops 412 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: to Garrett Garrett w Garrett Move. 413 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 2: Garrett works for the FBI. 414 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: Yes, Blake and Anne apparently tried to live local after 415 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: the wedding and bought a house, but had to sell 416 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: it and file for bankruptcy less than two years later. 417 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: They must have separated some time after that. As it 418 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: stands as of right now, Anne's son is with her 419 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: family here in the States. Her daughter, I was right, 420 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: is with Blake and his family in the UK Okay 421 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: there wet About a year after the news and Facebook post, 422 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: her family was struggling to get the cash to hire 423 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: an investigator to find her. If they did, and whether 424 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: or not she was ever found, I have no clue. 425 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: I would have to imagine, considering there's nothing at all 426 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: saying to the contrary that they did not. By the way, 427 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: you can join us live every week today at three PMPST. 428 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: Just tap her profile. I know this isn't about me, 429 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: but I honestly feel sucker punched. No, we didn't end 430 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: up on good terms and she wasn't a great person, 431 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: but damn how did this funny, dramatic story turn into 432 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: true crime? Literally? Hopie was like and kind of sucks. 433 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: She's so dramatic. Blah blah blah blah. She's missing. She's 434 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: been missing for two years. We don't know where she is. 435 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: Her son has been sent to live with his grandparents, 436 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 1: her daughter is gone. Looking back on her character and 437 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: how she was as a person, I can see her 438 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: having a mental break because life probably didn't turn out 439 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: the way she wanted it to, and a lot of 440 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: people struggle with that at a certain age. I really 441 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: just hope, even though it would make her a monster 442 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: for abandoning her kids, that she just decided to leave 443 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: with that local dude and rebrand somewhere else, push the 444 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: restart button on life. You know that would be better 445 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: than the darker potentials better. Oh but that's all I know. 446 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: I think I'll be hesitating the next time I consider 447 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: making a Reddit post about life. Thanks y'all. I'm glad 448 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: that I know this, and I think I'll keep digging 449 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: to find out what happened to her. If I ever 450 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: find out, I might make a post about it maybe later. 451 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: And that is the end of that story. 452 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 2: I don't even know what it's say. 453 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a crazy turn events. It was insane, 454 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, that is the end of this story. Hopefully 455 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: we find out one day what happened Annie or Anne 456 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: and I hope Lake Blake and his kids are doing well. 457 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: This was a wild ride. 458 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,239 Speaker 5: My ex fiance cheated on me with his coworker, so 459 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 5: I got my sweet revenge. Before I laughed, Me and 460 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 5: my ex had been together for over seven years. This 461 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: is a rather long one, so sit back. I thought 462 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 5: we were happy. We were engaged and had moved into 463 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 5: a bigger house together in preparation to start a family. 464 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 5: And by the way, this comes from user cat Lover 465 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: ninety one point five twelve on the r slash Okay 466 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 5: story time. 467 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: So Bredda. 468 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 5: He's a civil servant and used to always joke to 469 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 5: me about how everyone slept with everyone and there was 470 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 5: a secret inner circle of these people. Yeah, I know, 471 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 5: I should have seen the red flag, but I just 472 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 5: laughed and listened to the drama stories he told me 473 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 5: about all these relationships kicking off. Yeah, I think that's 474 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 5: fair to just laugh at that. Fast forward a few 475 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 5: months into living in our home, and he started to 476 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 5: do more night shifts than is actually required for his job. 477 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 5: He was getting a lot of overtime and so was 478 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 5: working a lot more, all to save for our wedding, 479 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 5: So he said he decided he wanted to start going 480 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 5: to the gym to get more fit as well. It 481 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 5: started off as a little tickle in the back of 482 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 5: my mind. I seemed to be getting left at home 483 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 5: a lot more often if he was going out with 484 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 5: mates for a drink. I used to get invited all 485 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 5: the time, but I just chalked it up to he's 486 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 5: out with the lads. 487 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: He's out with the lads. 488 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 5: It's the lads, not Saturday. 489 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: He's for the lads. 490 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 5: One night, he was going to one of his work 491 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 5: mates for the night with a few others for a 492 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 5: birthday party, just the lads and poker. I invited the 493 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 5: girls around and we enjoyed plenty of wine and horror movies. 494 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 5: He stopped texting me at about seven pm, and I 495 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 5: didn't hear a thing from him until the morning. I 496 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 5: was a little annoyed. He told me he'd fallen asleep 497 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 5: at the table while playing poker, and one of his 498 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 5: mates had actually recorded his snoring, which I found hilarious. 499 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 5: I said he'd have to show me the video, and 500 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: he never showed. I did ask several times and I'd 501 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 5: get Oh, his mate lost his phone and he didn't 502 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 5: manage to send him the video before he lost it. 503 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 5: Bearing in mind this was the kind of things his 504 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 5: mates would be putting on Facebook the second they finished recording, 505 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 5: the tickle became harder to ignore. Then came the email 506 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 5: he'd use my phone to log into his emails, as 507 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 5: he'd left his phone at work and had forgotten to 508 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 5: log out. So I decided to have a little look 509 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 5: back in his email history because that tickle was starting 510 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 5: to drive me a teensy bit nuts. And then I 511 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 5: found a hotel booking for two adults in a city 512 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 5: over an hour away on the same day as this 513 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 5: birthday party. He had told me that he was sleeping 514 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 5: at his mate's house when we went, so I was 515 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 5: straight on to him about it. He told me he'd 516 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 5: booked it for his mate and his partner as his 517 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 5: mate wanted to do a surprise trip for his wife 518 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 5: and didn't want her to find out about it. Okay, 519 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 5: I didn't really believe him, and I tried to let 520 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 5: it go, but I just couldn't. Why didn't he tell 521 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 5: me this before, why only now that I've found the 522 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 5: email booking. It drove me a bit crazy thinking about it, 523 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 5: and I started to get depressed at the thought of 524 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 5: that he was cheating. About two months after this, he 525 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 5: started talking about one of his workmates. He referred to 526 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: her as his work little sister. She's ten years younger 527 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 5: than him, and he would constantly say I should meet 528 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 5: her as we would get along, and how he felt 529 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 5: protective of her. 530 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: I don't trust this. 531 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 5: At this point, I was getting sick of him talking 532 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 5: about her, so I just made a comment like, you 533 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: sound like you're in love with her, at which he 534 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 5: scoffed and again said no, no, no, no, no, no. 535 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: She's like a sister. 536 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 5: He even said once she reminded him of his own sister. 537 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 5: But even with all of this, I was now convinced 538 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 5: something was going on. So one night, when he fell asleep, 539 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 5: I went through his phone. 540 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: No I like it. The thing is like, when you 541 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: get to that point, you just break up. If you're 542 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: at that point of lost trust like that, you can't 543 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: even talk to him to break. 544 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 5: Up, might as well and the trust has already gone. However, 545 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 5: lo and behold lots of messages between him and her. 546 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 5: He couldn't wait to be officially with her, and she 547 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 5: was his princess. 548 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: If this wasn't cheating, I would want to be called princess. 549 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 5: But this is his cover story, is that she's like 550 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 5: my little sister. That makes it so much worse. 551 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: So weird and bad. It was just a side note. 552 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: I would like to be called princess. This is just 553 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,239 Speaker 1: like a total side note. 554 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 5: Really quickly call me princess. And everything about this is wrong, 555 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 5: but I do like being called princess. That's just for me, 556 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 5: total sidebarning. But you're already the queen. You're already the 557 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 5: queen of worms. 558 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: That's true. I think if I asked people to call 559 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: me queen, like if I asked, you know, the future 560 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: partner to call me queen, I think that would be 561 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: a little bit self absorbed. 562 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 5: Oh and there were a load of other messages to 563 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: other women as well, all explicit. Well, my world literally 564 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 5: came falling down in that moment. Nearly eight years of 565 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 5: my life wasted. I confronted him and he admitted it all, 566 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 5: but he loved me, and he promised me he would 567 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 5: never do it again, and he wanted to spend his 568 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 5: life with me. It was just a stupid itch he 569 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 5: wanted to scratch before fully settling down. Now I was 570 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 5: having none of it. 571 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: I was done. 572 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 5: Now where we were living was hours away from our hometown, 573 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 5: and I was in a complete state, and to be honest, 574 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 5: I just wanted to be with my family. A lot 575 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 5: then happened without telling him my plan. I contacted my 576 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 5: work and told them I was moving and needed to 577 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 5: have a new contract, starting home based work. I love 578 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 5: my job, and I told them everything that was going on. 579 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 5: I had my family help me find a new place 580 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 5: back in my hometown, and I planned my escape. This 581 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 5: took about a month to sort. During this time, I 582 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 5: was stuck in the same house as this ding dong, 583 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 5: keeping my plan from him. He would beg me for 584 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 5: forgiveness one minute and then threaten me the next. 585 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: You know how. 586 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 5: He was gonna throw me out, switch off all the 587 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 5: electrics so I couldn't work, and even threw straighteners at me. 588 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: Leave him. Uh, well, she's got the plan. The plan 589 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: is inactive. Yeah, I know this man. He goes from 590 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: lying to being straight up like crazy. 591 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 5: All of which I still have voice recordings of just 592 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 5: in case. So you've got the evidence. That's good. 593 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: You've got it lined up. That's nice. 594 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 5: I would have to call my sister on video call 595 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 5: at night just to fall asleep. I was getting that stressed. 596 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 5: Then I became angry, and he then tried to gaslight me. 597 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 5: Girl's been trying it the whole time. It was my fault. 598 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 5: He'd strayed. 599 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: Apparently. 600 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 5: I did everything for him. I worked full time, cleaned, cooked, 601 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 5: and shopped everything. But because my work wasn't as stressful 602 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 5: as his, I wasn't doing enough well at that I 603 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 5: just thought f him. On the day my planned to leave, 604 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 5: I got a lucky break, and it turns out he 605 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 5: was staying at his mates after work that day, so 606 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 5: he wouldn't be back until the next day. He left, 607 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 5: and his last words to me, where I love you 608 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 5: and mine were goodbye, nay bye. I had a van 609 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 5: and people around the corner out of sight, waiting for 610 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 5: him to leave. The minute he did, the packing started. 611 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 5: Within a couple of hours. Everything I was taking was 612 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 5: loaded into the van and ready to go. But before 613 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 5: I posted my keys, I had one last thing to do. 614 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 5: I had purchased several packs of itching powder a week before, 615 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 5: and now it was time to use it. What the 616 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 5: heck is itching powder? 617 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like it's always happening in 618 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: like those little movies from when you were a kid. 619 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 5: Itching powder. 620 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're always putting itching powder and said, like when 621 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: they're out a camp or something and like there's the 622 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: bully kid. 623 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 5: Just a powder made out of itchy stuff. 624 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they put the itching powder in the bed 625 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, I'm so itchy, and that's how 626 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: they get revenge on the bully. I guess every. 627 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 5: Time I've ever seen that, I've just assumed that that 628 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 5: was like a fake thing that wasn't real. 629 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: And no, I guess it is real. 630 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 5: Wow. I mean Opie's got it. Yeah, freaking God. So anyway, 631 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 5: let's keep going. Now is the time to use it, 632 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 5: and use it I did. I rubbed it into every 633 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 5: item of clothing he had, inside all of his underwear 634 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 5: and inside all of his socks, shirts, and trousers. I 635 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 5: rubbed it into the bedding. I rubbed it into the 636 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 5: half roll of toilet paper. I decided to leave behind 637 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 5: anything he would be touching. I hovered it in the 638 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 5: stuffed and then I left. That is maybe dialogue orderline criminal. 639 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 5: Maybe I don't know. Hey, but you know, if you 640 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 5: have an itch to watch us, you can scratch it 641 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 5: every weekday at three pm when we go live on YouTube. 642 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 5: All you have to do is tap our profile and 643 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 5: you're in the stream. 644 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: And that itch is gone. 645 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 5: Well, anyway, we do have a little bit left here, 646 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 5: but let's discuss I think clearly we were all on 647 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 5: Op's side. Yeah, I think now that chemical warfare has 648 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 5: entered the chat, the only thing I'm thinking of is like, 649 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 5: is there any legal recourse for doing this as someone. 650 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm wondering, because before it was 651 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: like you had all the proof that he was a 652 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: terrible person. Perhaps now he has a little bit of 653 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: proof against you, which is what I'm worried about, because 654 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 1: I feel like all lawyers always say, like, don't you know, 655 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: do certain things otherwise he'll be able to hold it 656 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: over you and stuff. So I'm a little bit worried 657 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: about that. But pettiness wise very effective. 658 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 5: Oh and this is because he said now I get it, oh, 659 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 5: because I have an itch. Because he's like, it was 660 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 5: just a stupid itch I had to scratch. She's like, oh, 661 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 5: you want to talk about it itch. 662 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: Oh, that's actually I forgot about that.

A 699 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: year ago, he and his fiance were planning their wedding. 700 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 2: They were struggling to find an affordable venue. So I 701 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 2: own a vacation property with the large yard that used 702 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 2: to be for a couple of small weddings before. So 703 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: I offered it to him as a wedding venue rent free. WHOA, 704 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 2: that's nice, dude. You were saving half yeah, of the money. 705 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: You're pringing a lot of money on a venue. 706 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 2: My only the condition was I wanted to be a 707 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 2: part of the wedding party, which he agreed to. Everything 708 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: seems fine. By the way, this comes from Aromatic coal 709 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 2: eighty one seventy on the best of Reddit or updates subreddit. 710 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: Last week, Tom and I got into a small argument. 711 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: Really wasn't a big deal, But a couple of days 712 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 2: later he texted me and said he and his fiance 713 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 2: decided to downsize their wedding party and I was no 714 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 2: longer going to be a groomsman. 715 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: Well, oh, he's about to downsize your wedding. 716 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, your venue. I was shocked because I thought this 717 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,439 Speaker 2: was set in a stone a year ago. I called 718 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 2: him to ask what's going on, and he said it 719 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 2: wasn't personal, just that they wanted to keep things small 720 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: and intimate and didn't feel like they needed me in 721 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 2: the wedding party. I was pretty hurt. I didn't say 722 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 2: anything at the time. Then it occurred to me, if 723 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 2: I'm not important enough to be at his wedding party, 724 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 2: why should I host the wedding at my place? So 725 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 2: I called him again and I told him that since 726 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: I was going to be a part of the wedding, 727 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 2: they need to find another venue. 728 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: I think it's petty, but I think honestly that's kind 729 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: of deserved. It was the deal, that was the deal. 730 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: They made the deal. If you're going to back out 731 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: of the deal. That's on you. 732 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 2: That's true, it was the deal. Tom and his fiance 733 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 2: are furious. They say they can't afford another venue at 734 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: this point, that I'm ruining their big day. My parents 735 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 2: are also upset and say I should just let it 736 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 2: go and still host the wedding. I feel like I 737 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: was doing them a huge favor. 738 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah you are. You were giving them a venue for 739 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: free that would be most so expensive. 740 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, since the most expensive for the wedding. Yeah, oh 741 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: my gosh. And they essentially uninvited me from being a 742 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 2: part of the most important day of their lives. I 743 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 2: don't think I'm in the wrong retract my offer, but 744 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 2: now everyone is making me feel guilty. So am I 745 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 2: the a ho for canceling the venue? We do have 746 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,959 Speaker 2: an edits edits. This is basically an update to answer 747 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 2: a fewer questions I see repeatedly. Number one, why did 748 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 2: I need to offer to loan out my vacation house 749 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 2: to be in the wedding? Repeating one of my comments. 750 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 2: My brother and I have had a little bit of 751 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: a rocky relationship most of his life. I think it 752 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 2: just says his life in our life. Our age difference 753 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 2: has always been an awkward amount, and I think he's 754 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 2: jealous of my success in life too. 755 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: Is op older. 756 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,439 Speaker 2: He's like thirty seven and the brother's twenty six. 757 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: Ok, ten years which does Yeah, that can be kind 758 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: of hard to like have a relationship with your sibling 759 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: when they're not much younger. 760 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 2: I hope my brothers don't think of me like that. 761 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 2: I'm like thirteen years older than them eleven. Yeah, yeah, 762 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 2: I hope they don't think he's doun Okay, but I've 763 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 2: climbed in the corporate ladder pretty quickly in finance, and 764 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 2: I think a lot of girls he's dated have had 765 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: crushes on me, being his older brother and more successful one, 766 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: and that bothers him. He picks up, he picks small 767 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 2: things to get mad at me because it was jealousy, 768 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 2: and I felt like if I made it a condition 769 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 2: of lending out my place, he would let me be 770 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 2: in his wedding. 771 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's just like a little 772 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: bit weird that you that they're not at the point 773 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: already to just have him be in the wedding, you know, 774 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: like and like without having to bribe him to be 775 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: in the wedding. 776 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds OPI wants to mend the relationship. Yeah, 777 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: the relationship is very transactional. Yes, I'm successful. The brother 778 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 2: is just that he's successful. 779 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: It's all in terms of money and now he's still 780 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: But I feel like in trying to mend the relationship 781 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: on op side, he's trying to mend it through money. 782 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 2: He is yeah, yeah, he's saying with the with the venue, 783 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 2: like hey, this is something, let me be in your 784 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 2: wedding party. 785 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: Which I don't think that's gonna be. Like it's not 786 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: working like I I Yeah, So I guess I have 787 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: two separate things. I think OPI is justified petty, but 788 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: also I think it's just not the best, the best 789 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: way to try and improved the relationship if you wanted 790 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: to do that. 791 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 2: I can't have a relationship built off of make me. 792 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: Yes objects, giving people things, but basically bribing him to, 793 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, be in his wedding party. 794 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 2: So number two, what did you get into an argument about. 795 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: He got upset at me because he thinks I don't 796 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 2: do enough with our parents, but I travel for my job, 797 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 2: so it's harder for me to be there in person. Okay, 798 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 2: I do have a friend that's in finance, and they 799 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 2: travel so much it's kind of crazy. I also help 800 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 2: him them financially, which he never considers as helping out. 801 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 2: So the brother seems like the brother values quality time 802 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 2: while the op values giving, and I guess he doesn't 803 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 2: see this's the same thing. Uh, they haven't saved as 804 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 2: much as they probably should and are getting closer to retirement, 805 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 2: so I helped them out with some bills so they 806 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 2: can put more in their four to one K accounts instead. 807 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 2: But I guess that isn't enough. He always find something 808 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 2: to say I'm doing wrong. Number three are you still 809 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 2: invited to the wedding? Technically he only said I'm not 810 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 2: going to be in the wedding party, but it feels 811 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 2: like such a slap in the face at this point, 812 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: and it definitely feels like he doesn't want me there. 813 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 2: All try to talk to him to see what the 814 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 2: real issue is, because downsizing seems like byes to me. 815 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 2: We have one, we have a few more comments here, 816 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 2: and then an update, so relevant comments come under number 817 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: one downvoted you're the a hole. It's very inappropriate for 818 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 2: you to manipulate someone into being in their wedding. It's 819 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 2: immature to withdraw your offer of the venue because they 820 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 2: can't afford much and didn't get your way. For their sakes, 821 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 2: I hope they can find a new venue so they 822 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 2: don't have to deal with you and your behavior, and 823 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 2: they can exercise the hair justified, justifiable right to not 824 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 2: invite you. Opie doesn't play well with others, Opie, I 825 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 2: don't really feel like I'm manipulating anyone. I figured my 826 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 2: brother would want me there sincere where family. It feels 827 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 2: like he isn't telling me what the real reason is 828 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 2: he doesn't want me there, and if he doesn't want 829 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 2: to treat me like family, I guess I feel like 830 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 2: I can't I can return the favor. Okay, that's a 831 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 2: really good point. 832 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. 833 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree with that. It was 834 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 2: a deal. A deal is a deal should already been 835 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 2: in the wedding uh. Commenter number two, Petty, it just 836 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 2: like you should be. It was an agreement between the 837 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 2: two of you. Then you rent free, but you are 838 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 2: a part of the wedding party. Your brother decided to 839 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 2: punish you in the wrong way. As long as he 840 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 2: took back his part of your contract, you are no 841 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 2: longer forced to honor your part, but it's too late 842 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 2: for them to find something. You should tell them that 843 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 2: as long as your brother can't honor his part of 844 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 2: your deal, you're okay for them to do the venue 845 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 2: at the same place, but or x them out. Okay, 846 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 2: payable right now, because well the confidence is broken. That's 847 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 2: a good point. Maybe it'll force your brother to tell 848 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 2: you the real reason why he doesn't want you in 849 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,959 Speaker 2: his wedding anymore. So they're saving money already from going 850 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 2: to the venue, then they're downsizing it. That makes no 851 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 2: sense at all. Really, don't thinking about it because already 852 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 2: realistically they're already saving half of the money from the venue. 853 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 2: They'd be able to pour more money into more food 854 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 2: and stuff. It come in or three. I'm curious why 855 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 2: didn't your brother ask you to be in the wedding 856 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 2: to begin with. You say you made it a condition 857 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 2: for him to use your property and he agreed. Why 858 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 2: would it be a condition if he didn't ask you 859 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 2: even before the property was offered. Why you to not 860 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 2: really get along or that close was his argument? What 861 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 2: was this argument about? Now you say it it wasn't 862 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 2: a big deal, but maybe you don't think it was. 863 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 2: But he does. What happened for him to make up 864 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 2: that excuse, which you know is is the deal, tells 865 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 2: me he didn't want you and the wedding party to 866 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 2: begin with. In regard, I don't blame you. I think 867 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 2: you need to elaborate regarding your relationship with your brother. 868 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 2: So we're getting into the update right now. Update September sixth. 869 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 2: That just happened. 870 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: That literally, what is it? 871 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 2: It's the sixth and eighth. 872 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was ten days ago. This year 873 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 1: is gone. 874 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 2: It's been a good year. 875 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a good I think it's my best 876 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: year yet. 877 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 2: Wow, I would say so too. I was having a 878 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 2: hard time believing my brother when he told me they 879 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 2: were downsizing the wedding party just to make it more intimate. 880 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 2: But that's all he kept saying when I would ask 881 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,280 Speaker 2: him for the real reason. 882 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: That's annoying. He's trying to commute it, kay, and his 883 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 1: brother's not even giving him the respect and decency to say, 884 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: and I don't feel close to could he could just say, like, 885 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: I don't feel as close to. 886 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,439 Speaker 2: You and I you know, yeah, that's a good point. 887 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 2: But the downsizing excuse to me doesn't make any sense. 888 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 2: Because he is already saying so much money on the venue. Yeah, 889 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 2: why is he downsizing? 890 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: Exactly? What's the You know, you're not downsizing for costs? 891 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 2: And remember the little argument they had beforehand. Then the 892 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 2: next day the brother asked him, hey, you're not in 893 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 2: the wedding party. Were downsizing? Just a little tiff, but 894 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 2: he didn't explain what it was, and it was probably 895 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 2: a bigger argument to the brother. 896 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: Probably he probably took that more to heart. 897 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 2: I wish we could have him here right now, we 898 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 2: could ask him. 899 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: I think it is really important to know what that 900 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 1: argument was about, because it might, you know, it might, 901 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,439 Speaker 1: it could like with. 902 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 2: A difference of ages immaturity, it was probably bigger to 903 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 2: the brother than it is to Ope. I agree. I 904 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: agree in all honesty, my brother and I aren't close, 905 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: which I am sure is obvious from my last post. 906 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 2: After my emotions settled down a bit, I told my 907 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 2: brother I wanted to talk to him. He wasn't responding 908 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 2: to me, so I said I wanted to talk to 909 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 2: him about potentially letting them still use my vacation house. 910 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: Okay, so now he's kind of doubling back. 911 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 2: It's a it's a bait. It feels like a bait. 912 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you, but I'll give you 913 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 2: the house. It feels like a bait. 914 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: And also just the bit earlier where he was like, oh, yeah, 915 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: my brother thinks I'm like super successful, and he's like 916 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: does because I'm always with these cool women and blah 917 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: blah blah. I'm a little bit and I don't know 918 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: if I trust him as much anymore. 919 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and another point to the brother, will help out 920 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 2: the parents because I seem like older. Yeah, with more time, 921 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 2: and uh OPI will you will pay them, like help 922 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 2: them out, supporting them financially. 923 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 1: Oh we learned that. 924 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we learned that. 925 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 3: M M. 926 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't know about this. 927 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 2: That's a good cat show. He's still using the money 928 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 2: mm hmm. Not totally the truth, but it seemed like 929 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 2: a good way to get him to talk. 930 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: This is your faults, literally your faults. You're bribing him. 931 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: You're bribing him. This is why your relationship is crumbling. 932 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: This is why you're not he's a part of his 933 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 1: grooms man. Did you just keep bribing him? Oh? 934 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 2: Man, I bet Whenever the brother was young, he'd always 935 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 2: he's like, hey. 936 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: Can you do Can you do my chores? He's a 937 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: star Wars is a dollar. 938 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 2: Oh man. He finally responded, but said I couldn't come 939 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 2: over and he would only meet me somewhere public, which 940 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 2: seemed weird. We ended up meeting at a bar late 941 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: last night that I like near my place, and I 942 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,280 Speaker 2: straight up just asked him why he was really kicking 943 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,720 Speaker 2: me out of his wedding, and I would only consider 944 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 2: letting them use my vacation house if he told me 945 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 2: the truth. He was getting pretty fidgety and looking away 946 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 2: from me, and finally he told me the truth. Apparently 947 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 2: isance heard that I may do a bit of Coca 948 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 2: Cola here and there for fun, and she told me 949 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,240 Speaker 2: that she didn't want a Coca Cola head in her wedding. 950 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 2: He said he actually kind of agreed with her and 951 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 2: was disappointed in what I was doing. How else he 952 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 2: supposed to be a finance role? How is he supposed 953 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 2: to fit in. 954 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:31,280 Speaker 1: Everything I learned about? He is kind of crazy. Just 955 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,360 Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, so like I bribe my brother to 956 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 1: let him be one of my to make me one 957 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: of my his grims men, And I'm like, I do 958 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, coca Cola and uh great, 959 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,280 Speaker 1: not great. He's not looking super good for him. 960 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 2: I told him, if I'm too much of a Coca 961 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 2: Cola head uh to be there, then they really shouldn't 962 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 2: want to use a Coca Cola's house for their wedding. 963 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 2: And I left because he might have Coca Cola. 964 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: Everywhere, you know what. I'm kind of wondering if that 965 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: that argument was about this about co cola. Yeah, you know, 966 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: like was it op using substances and the brother being like, hey, 967 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, you should cut back. I think maybe everyone 968 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 1: talks here a little bit. 969 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 2: Everyone we got a little bit more. 970 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, so hard. 971 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 2: I don't really see how it impacts them what I 972 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 2: do in my free time, but I really don't care 973 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 2: to be there now if that's what they think of me. 974 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I haven't said a word to 975 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 2: him since, but I'm guessing I won't be hearing from 976 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 2: them again soon. Little at it that that does impact them. 977 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: I do think that Coca Cola has its own kind 978 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: of like it's it's very different than how people view 979 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,800 Speaker 1: other substances, you know, like I I feel like people, 980 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 1: I mean, because it's become so well like widely used. 981 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: It's much more common, and like people are like, oh, yeah, that, 982 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: like they just do that, you know, they just smoke tweed. 983 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: But with coca cola, it's like, oh, and so I 984 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 1: can kind of see where they're coming from in the 985 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 1: sense of like societally, you know, societally people don't look 986 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 1: at that favorably. So they are like, ah, we don't, 987 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: we don't. 988 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, because if it's the you know, the brother's big day, 989 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 2: coca cola is is going to be there.

Is that what they're worried about? 995 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: If it's just his own recreational use and he's not 996 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: spreading around and that's his own. 997 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,720 Speaker 2: Thing, yeah, comments, Oh, you must be a plug addict. 998 00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 2: I do coca cola maybe a handful of time, so 999 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 2: reclarationally with some people that I party with. Obviously, this 1000 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 2: gossip traveled through the grapevine where circles overlapped and got 1001 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,720 Speaker 2: to them somehow. I wasn't discovered because I'm an addict 1002 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 2: like some hat. Some have said, it's more common than 1003 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,239 Speaker 2: you think. You'd be surprised who does it. That's what 1004 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 2: some people in the comments. That's necessarily the I don't know, 1005 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 2: statistically one of us has been doing it this whole time. 1006 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 2: Number two, you must have a pug problem for them 1007 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,919 Speaker 2: to react that way about it. My brother's fiance comes 1008 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 2: from a very religious and conservative family. They right down 1009 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 2: the road for me. They think anyone that does hard 1010 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 2: pug must be a degenerate that is going to h 1011 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 2: double hockey sticks. That's the funny part about her calling 1012 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 2: me a Coca cola head smack is whack. She clearly 1013 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,720 Speaker 2: doesn't understand Coca Cola is different. But I'm not going 1014 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,359 Speaker 2: to go on a mission to educate her. That would 1015 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 2: be a waste of effort on my part. I don't know. 1016 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 2: You should probably take both of them to her and 1017 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 2: show her that. 1018 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 1: Take this one testimony, do a little test you just don't. 1019 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 2: Worry Coca Cola s mack. You can be successful in 1020 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 2: live and recreationally use bugs. These two aren't mutually exclusive. Honestly, 1021 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 2: pretty much, anyone I know that does Coca Cola has 1022 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 2: plenty of money and a great job, or they marry 1023 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,719 Speaker 2: someone rich sla should inherited money. 1024 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,319 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it is. I think it is very much 1025 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: a thing that like very rich crowds will do like 1026 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: it just goes around and stuff. 1027 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 2: Wolf of wall Streak was right. Does that mean I 1028 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 2: have to start doing Coca Cola in order to do 1029 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 2: that more financially? 1030 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 1: That's works if you do it. You didn't know, No, 1031 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: it's don't do kids bottle comments. 1032 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 2: Well, after scrolling through a decent amount of I've come 1033 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 2: to the conclusion that I'm obviously a terrible douchebag with 1034 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 2: an enormous pug problem that only thinks about himself and 1035 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,760 Speaker 2: is extremely conceited. Some parts of that may be true, 1036 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 2: but I do care about my family and trying to 1037 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 2: help my parents in the way I know how. For 1038 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 2: those of you that are familiar with fight clip, we 1039 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 2: don't talk about that. 1040 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: You're just waiting for me to read it. 1041 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 2: I'm single serving friend kind of person. I don't really 1042 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,479 Speaker 2: get close with many people, and I have a hard 1043 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 2: time staying in one place. That's why I have a 1044 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 2: job where I need to travel all the time. I 1045 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,399 Speaker 2: like the variety and the challenge of it settling down, 1046 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 2: having kids and all that makes me super uncomfortable. Obviously 1047 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 2: i'd be terrible fathers, so there's no way I'll have kids. 1048 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,919 Speaker 2: Snip snip. My brother is a settled down kind of guy, 1049 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 2: and thinking about it, that's probably why he doesn't like me. 1050 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 2: I wanted to be the Grunisland for him because I 1051 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 2: wanted to be a part of something in his life. 1052 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 2: But in a capacity I can handle. One last note, 1053 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 2: I've got awesome parents that love me for who I am, 1054 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 2: and they know I love them if I'm not around 1055 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 2: a ton. They work super hard to raise us and 1056 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 2: give us everything we needed, and they came from a 1057 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 2: poorer background. I help them. I help them how I 1058 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 2: know I can not. Everyone shows their care in the 1059 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,359 Speaker 2: same way you do. So chill and don't think I'm 1060 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:39,279 Speaker 2: such an ass because of my caring is mostly financial. 1061 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 2: Peace out friends, Okay, so Ope responds to one comment, 1062 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,839 Speaker 2: I'll read this. I'm getting older. I'm seeing just how 1063 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 2: many people actually do coca cola and it's usually occasional. 1064 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 2: Has completely changed my perspective. Also, smack and coca cola 1065 00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 2: are very, very different. Rip Whitney that Domar's reason, and 1066 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 2: do they think you're going to be strung out during 1067 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 2: the wedding. They want the Coca Cola heads rental property, 1068 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 2: but not the Coca Cola head it make it make sense? 1069 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 2: Not the ahle o p. I use how you're describing. 1070 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 2: You're one correct. I don't touch smack. Just recreational Coca 1071 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 2: Cola and I am very functional in my life. He's 1072 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 2: defending himself. 1073 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 1: I I I don't know much about Coca cola. What 1074 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: is the what's recreational? That is he just saying I 1075 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: do it like. 1076 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 2: Remember whom with to Paris when all those people were 1077 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 2: dancing around and they were like, yeah, that's recreational. 1078 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,279 Speaker 1: Okay. So is he basically saying I'm not addicted. I'm 1079 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 1: just using it a little bit. That's my experience. 1080 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 2: Okay, that's what he means by that. 1081 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 1: Gotcha? 1082 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 2: Uh, probably not healthy, but I see it like out, Oh, 1083 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 2: I'm not abusing it, I'm just doing it.

If I can't go, they can't marry. 1110 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 1: She has a whole picket fence around the wedding. 1111 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,399 Speaker 5: She's like, no one's going in, yeah, is sir? 1112 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 1: I twenty four female. Am an Indian, specifically Bengali. I 1113 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: have always lived in a joint family. We were a 1114 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: total of ten members, including my paternal grandparents, mom, dad, 1115 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 1: my brother, my paternal granduncle, is wife, aunt and their 1116 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: two children, my older sister, and another brother who's a 1117 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,360 Speaker 1: year older to me. We have a big house, so 1118 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 1: we never had issues of privacy or anything. We were 1119 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 1: really close growing up. I was specifically close to my 1120 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: older sister. We called her Priya thirty three female. I 1121 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 1: looked up to her since I was really young. I 1122 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 1: think that's what happens when you have a sister. And 1123 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 1: by the way, this comes from one oh one with 1124 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 1: our on the R slash shokey story time subrid it. 1125 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: The problem started between us when I became a teenager. 1126 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: My parents were more open minded and enrolled me into 1127 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 1: a variety of extracurricular classes. I was not super academic, 1128 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: so I did much more to become an all rounder student. 1129 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: Indian parents my uncle and aunt, on the other hand, 1130 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 1: were very strict and both their children were flourishing academically nice. 1131 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: When I became a teen, I became quite popular in school. 1132 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: Not because I got really good at classical and semi 1133 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 1: classical dancing, because yeah, yeah, like she was doing it, 1134 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 1: but she wasn't popular for those reasons. My parents were 1135 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: not super interested in all this, so I would often 1136 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: share those wins with Priya. That's when things started to spiral. 1137 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: She would often discourage me and tell me to focus 1138 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 1: on studying. Slowly, these pep talks became straight hate. When 1139 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 1: I became a high schooler, I decided that I wanted 1140 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 1: to study fashion. I was always creative and used to 1141 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 1: sketch designs whenever I would have any free time and 1142 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 1: show them to Priya. I was unaware of this, but 1143 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 1: she started to copy them and one day threw a 1144 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 1: fit in front of the family, showing those designs, claiming 1145 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 1: that she had talent and she wanted to switch to 1146 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 1: studying fashion. She is nine years older than me, and 1147 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 1: she was studying chemistry at a renowned college at this point. 1148 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,400 Speaker 1: WHOA Okay, wait, so o peas becoming kind of a 1149 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: fashion person. She's getting into it and showing these designs, 1150 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 1: and Priya's like stealing them, stealing them and trying to 1151 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: start her own fashion career. What is she gonna do 1152 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: when she actually goes to school for that. 1153 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:50,800 Speaker 2: She can't, when she can't draw oh PE's inspirations anymore, 1154 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 2: just come up with her own. 1155 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: That's pretty silly. 1156 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 2: I think the cousin has just looked up to or 1157 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 2: Priya has just looked up to Op so much. Anything 1158 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 2: you do, I could do because yeah, it sounds like 1159 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 2: Pries's parents are super strict. Yeah, since uh opis a 1160 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 2: port of Priest's family, whatever she does, she feels the 1161 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,479 Speaker 2: right that she can also do oh OPI has gone 1162 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 2: down this route. That means I have the Yeah, I 1163 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 2: can do that. I can also do that, and there. 1164 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: Can be the better. Yeah, it feels tough. 1165 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:21,479 Speaker 2: It feels tough. 1166 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 1: My uncle and aunt were shocked, obviously and decided to 1167 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: ignore her. Her tantrums were quite common in our households. 1168 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 1: What happened that secks because they were so close, you know, 1169 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: and also she's like ten years older. Why is she 1170 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 1: reacting so immaturely? During my high school years, I'm I 1171 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: remember being completely isolated because of my toxic BF and Priya. 1172 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: It was always about her problems, her life, her boyfriend. 1173 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: And yeah, this is also when Priya decided to take 1174 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 1: a crucial decision and get married to a guy she 1175 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 1: met on Facebook and has been talking to for two months. 1176 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Oh my oh man. She also carefully worked her wedding 1177 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: dates around to be on the exact time of my 1178 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 1: final exams. I got my exam scheduled earlier and informed 1179 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: her beforehand, but she decided to ignore it. An Indian 1180 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 1: wedding is a whole shebang and takes news. She was 1181 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: a bridezilla, y'all. Anyway, after this was over, I got 1182 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 1: into a good fashion school, shifted to a different state, 1183 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: and slowly cut back on communicating with her. We would 1184 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: text here and there, but that was all. We would 1185 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 1: meet up on holidays when I went back home, but 1186 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 1: it was brief and didn't have much drama. After COVID, 1187 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,520 Speaker 1: I continued working online and shifted back home and started 1188 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 1: dating my now boyfriend in twenty twenty one. Later, we 1189 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 1: found out our parents are friends and it became so 1190 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 1: much fun. We would go out to eat together, I 1191 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: would go shopping with his mom, and he's super chill 1192 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 1: with my family. Earlier this year, we decided to get 1193 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: engaged way. Okay, so the wedding with Pria already happened 1194 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: in OPI wasn't able to go. I guess so that 1195 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: was just like she just had to kind of get 1196 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: over that. 1197 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1198 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, but in India we can't do that without family. 1199 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: So we sat down with our immediate family and decided 1200 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 1: to have a party this December, to have a formal 1201 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 1: re exchange and a formal introduction to each other's extended family. 1202 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 2: Okay. 1203 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 1: I decided to call Priya and let her know this 1204 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: was before the date was set. She told me this 1205 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: exact line. Oh my god, you have gotten so desperate. 1206 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Why can't you wait like I did? Making a career 1207 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: working from home is not going to make you big bucks? 1208 01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: You gen zers are so lazy. Do you really want 1209 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 1: to settle at this young age. I tried defending myself, 1210 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 1: but it obviously didn't work. I don't know why I 1211 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 1: even tried. Wait, but she'd got with that guy she 1212 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 1: knew for two months, exactly, so hypocritical. 1213 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 2: Exactly. 1214 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Simultaneously, my parents were informing all the close relatives and 1215 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,000 Speaker 1: working a date around almost everyone's schedule and set a date. 1216 01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 1: During this process, my brother called too, but she didn't 1217 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 1: seem interested. We have now sent her an invite, but 1218 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: she hasn't responded to that either. She hasn't congratulated me 1219 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 1: or anything. I know I shouldn't be bothered, but I 1220 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 1: am thinking maybe it's because I didn't personally call her 1221 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: or something. It's a thing in India, but I don't 1222 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,360 Speaker 1: want to call her first after what happened the last time. 1223 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: So am I the a hole? Okay? So basically what 1224 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 1: happened is they had that fight. Ope kind of or 1225 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 1: sent out invites but didn't call her up and say, hey, 1226 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 1: you're invited. Yeah, and now she's pissy about it. M hmm, 1227 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 1: that's so stupid. I don't think op's the a hole here. 1228 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 1: I think Priya is being kind of a nightmare. 1229 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1230 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 1: And do you really want her there anyway? 1231 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? Has always been a nightmare judgmental Yeah, does I 1232 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 2: have your best interest in money? Either? 1233 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 3: No? 1234 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean she's still signed. 1235 01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 2: You don't need those vibes in your life. 1236 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: Literally, get her out more context, The call I referred 1237 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: to here happened earlier in July because we had this 1238 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: discussion about the engagement party. End of June, she has 1239 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,880 Speaker 1: gone zero contact with me. Since then. I had my 1240 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,919 Speaker 1: birthday on July as well, no wishes from her or call. 1241 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 1: I had an amazing birthday, though I already told my 1242 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 1: parents what she said. My parents are calm people, they 1243 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,400 Speaker 1: said to ignore her. It was my aunt Priya's mom 1244 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,480 Speaker 1: who had to sit down talk with me and started 1245 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 1: telling me about her my sister's hardships all of a sudden, 1246 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 1: about her growing up with strict parents and no friends 1247 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I guess she told her about 1248 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: our chat on the phone. I don't know. I've been 1249 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: feeling guilty ever since then. The people pleaser in me 1250 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,440 Speaker 1: is struggling the thing like you, but you haven't done 1251 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 1: anything wrong. If she wants to come to the wedding 1252 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,680 Speaker 1: she was invited, Yeah, Like she's the one not reaching 1253 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,720 Speaker 1: out to you. It seems like, oh, he has already tried. 1254 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 1: When you have really really strict parents and you're trying 1255 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: to live up to their expectations, sometimes you turn up 1256 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 1: turned out to be the best person. Relevant comments, though 1257 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: Ms Mellow four twenty says absolutely not the a hole. 1258 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 1: Your sister is jealous of you. I would go no 1259 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: slash low contact with her. She doesn't want to celebrate you. 1260 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Or any of your achievements, So why continue to waste 1261 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 1: your time and energy? 1262 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 2: There we go. 1263 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,280 Speaker 1: Just because she's blood doesn't mean she's true. Family. Family 1264 01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 1: is supposed to love and support you. I didn't read 1265 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 1: any of that coming from her. Lots of love and 1266 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 1: lif to you. Please keep us posted and op responded. 1267 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 1: She has gone zero contact with me after that faithful call. Also, 1268 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 1: I decided to add those details. And you're so right. 1269 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't need to feel guilty just because she's blood. 1270 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,880 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I hope you're having a lovely day, 1271 01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 1: lots of and that is the end of that story. 1272 01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, good, Yeah, good end. No, I think it's go 1273 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 2: no contact. 1274 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think going no contact is the best or 1275 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 1: at least low contact until she reaches out and you know, 1276 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,840 Speaker 1: realizes that she's being awful. But you know, she's had 1277 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 1: so many chances. She purposely made it so you couldn't 1278 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 1: come to her wedding. She stole your fashion ideas, she's 1279 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, been rude at your wedding, and there's just 1280 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 1: no point. 1281 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 5: My aunt is having an affair with her best friend's husband, 1282 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 5: but my family refuses to intervene. I don't want to 1283 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 5: stop this lady guys, it's time to intervene. Do she 1284 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 5: be cheating?

In my eyes, 1301 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 5: they've done more for me than my own family has. 1302 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 5: Both Mark and Sasha are good people.

My 1307 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,760 Speaker 5: aunt and Kurt have been together since their late twenties 1308 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 5: and married for eight years. So Sasha and Mark got 1309 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 5: married only a year or two ago, as Mark didn't 1310 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,320 Speaker 5: really want to be legally married, but Sasha definitely did. 1311 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 5: A couple of years ago, my older brother and I 1312 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 5: were at his apartment just bull crapping, and I brought 1313 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 5: up that I had a feeling that Mark was cheating 1314 01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 5: on Sasha because on Sasha's Facebook profile, she would post 1315 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 5: almost daily about the gifts or flowers or cards that 1316 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 5: Mark would bring home to her. It was literally a 1317 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 5: dozen roses a day, or a gift or some cute 1318 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 5: note that he wrote for I told my brother it 1319 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 5: felt like Mark was compensating for possibly cheating on Sasha. 1320 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:28,600 Speaker 5: So there's just you can never. 1321 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 1: Do anything right. Even if you do everything right. You 1322 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,120 Speaker 1: bring her a dozen roses a day, Now you're a cheater. 1323 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 5: My brother goes quiet, and I can tell he's wanting 1324 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 5: to say something, so I push him and he finally 1325 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,920 Speaker 5: admits that our aunt April told him that she's been 1326 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 5: having an affair with Sasha's husband Mark. Ooh, I'm appalled 1327 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,120 Speaker 5: so much that I don't believe him. All four of 1328 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,520 Speaker 5: these people have been best friends forever for over a 1329 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 5: decade now, and they get together all the time as couples. 1330 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 5: I never imagined it was my aunt who he was 1331 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 5: cheating on Sasha with. I confronted my aunt about this 1332 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 5: as soon as I could. She breaks down to me 1333 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 5: and tells me it's true. They're having an emotional and 1334 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 5: a smectual relationship with each other and they have been 1335 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 5: for years. Her aunt and her best friend, Sasha's husband 1336 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 5: Mark have been bumping uglies. 1337 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 1: Ew ew you on multiple level. 1338 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,479 Speaker 5: But she says that her and Mark are madly in love, 1339 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 5: but they don't want to break the family up. Both 1340 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 5: Kurt and Sasha have no clue, and I don't believe 1341 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,480 Speaker 5: they suspect anything. 1342 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 1: No, you have to tell them.

She said that she and 1351 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 5: Mark would stop, and I stupidly believed her. I found 1352 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 5: out that they ever stopped because they're in love. A 1353 01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 5: year or so goes by and April wants to divorce Kurt. 1354 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 5: April moves into Sasha and Mark's house and stays in 1355 01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 5: their renovated basement for free, and Sasha gets my aunt 1356 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 5: a new job at her own work. So Sasha and 1357 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 5: April worked together until this day. My god, the level 1358 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 5: of betrayal. Oh my god, someone needed to stop this. 1359 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:29,639 Speaker 5: My aunt continued to sleep with this man in their home, oh, 1360 01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:31,639 Speaker 5: in their bed. 1361 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 1: No, she was home, whgether while she was even home? 1362 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,599 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Were they just really quiet? 1363 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,720 Speaker 5: They were just dead silent. They did the joke from 1364 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,559 Speaker 5: Family Guy, which is British. 1365 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 1: People were just. 1366 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:49,800 Speaker 5: Going almost almost all and there we go. 1367 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 1: That's terribly I hate this. 1368 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 5: At this point, my aunt had surgery and was physically 1369 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 5: going through a lot. She wasn't working with Sasha yet 1370 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 5: at this point. She also lives very close to my 1371 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,640 Speaker 5: apartment at their house, but far from our family. So 1372 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 5: I would be at Sasha and Mark's house all the time, 1373 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,800 Speaker 5: helping my aunt and hanging out with them all. This 1374 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 5: is when I find out they're still sleeping together and 1375 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:15,240 Speaker 5: never stopped. I personally heard them talk on the phone. 1376 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,720 Speaker 5: He works as a junk truck driver or something like that, 1377 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:20,800 Speaker 5: so he can just talk all day on the phone 1378 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 5: with his headphones, and they'd say they love each other, 1379 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,599 Speaker 5: they wish they could be together. They legit said they 1380 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 5: wish they were the couple that got together, and Kurt 1381 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 5: and Sasha should have gotten together instead, and everything would 1382 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 5: have been just perfect. 1383 01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so guys, guys, I'm gonna give you a little 1384 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: dip if you think that divorce, divorce your people, divorce 1385 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 1: your people, leave them, and then you can go be 1386 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,640 Speaker 1: together till the cows come home and you can have 1387 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,679 Speaker 1: your silent, spicy sleep and no one's gonna stop you. Guys, suck. 1388 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: It's so funny because you can do it. You know what, 1389 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 1: This is not the sixteen hundreds. They won't stone you 1390 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:56,160 Speaker 1: for divorce. 1391 01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 5: I think there was a lot of stigma about divorce 1392 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 5: a little earlier than the sixteen hundreds. But I get 1393 01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 5: what you're saying. 1394 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 1: No, it's specifically the sixteen hundreds. I had to pick 1395 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 1: a time. 1396 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 5: Okay, Well, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good 1397 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:11,000 Speaker 5: time to pick. This all made me want to vomit. 1398 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,559 Speaker 5: I don't know why I didn't say anything. Maybe the 1399 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 5: immaturity as I was in my early twenties when I 1400 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 5: found out. So it's scary to be the one to 1401 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 5: have to put this out in me open yeah, be. 1402 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 1: Like, hey, guys, don't shoot the messenger for real. 1403 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 5: What has kept me quiet since is the pit of 1404 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,400 Speaker 5: guilt I constantly feel from this. I ended up cutting 1405 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 5: April completely out of my life a while back, and 1406 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,559 Speaker 5: Sasha has been asking me why I won't speak with them, 1407 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 5: herself and Mark, because we were so close. But I 1408 01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,760 Speaker 5: feel so much immense guilt when I see her or 1409 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 5: think about her and her son. I just want to 1410 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,120 Speaker 5: scream at my aunt and Mark for doing this. To 1411 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 5: make this all better, my aunt and Mark apparently decided 1412 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:53,719 Speaker 5: to cease their relationship, and April decided a couple months 1413 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 5: after leaving her husband that she's stupid and realized that 1414 01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,639 Speaker 5: Mark never loved her, only wanted her body and simply 1415 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 5: won't leave his family for her. She moved back in 1416 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 5: with her husband, Kurt. So not only did she cheat 1417 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 5: on her husband, April and Kurt, Sasha, and Mark. April 1418 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 5: cheats on Kurt with Mark and then comes to the 1419 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 5: conclusion Mark just wants me for my body. 1420 01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 1: I thought you guys loved each other. 1421 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 5: Do I'll get back with Kurt, even though you guys 1422 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 5: are talking all day on the phone about how you 1423 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:25,840 Speaker 5: love each other.

Ps My family knows about 1476 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,200 Speaker 5: my aunt and Mark. They say it's not our business 1477 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,679 Speaker 5: and to leave it alone. Frankly, they don't care because 1478 01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 5: it's not affecting them, but it affects me deeply. I 1479 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 5: hardly speak with my family, and I am now extremely 1480 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 5: low contact or no contact with them. 1481 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 1: Please help, guys. I hate that mindset of like it's 1482 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:54,679 Speaker 1: not our problem. 1483 01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:56,720 Speaker 5: I hate that there's no resolution to that. 1484 01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think op. My advice is tell them they 1485 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,840 Speaker 1: deserve to know. These are people that you love. You 1486 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 1: are not ruining their life. Their lives have already been ruined, 1487 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,519 Speaker 1: but they don't know. That's the thing, like it's already 1488 01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,679 Speaker 1: the mistakes have already happened. The rot is already there, 1489 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 1: You just need to dig it out
