I was thrilled because 28 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: Julie has bailed the last couple of times I've organized 29 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 2: things we meet up, But the whole time, Julie keeps 30 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: fishing for free legal advice about her business, which I 31 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: politely refuse. 32 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: I refused for many reasons. 33 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: She sought advice in an area of law I have 34 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: minimal experience in. It goes against the conditions of my 35 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: practicing license, and what she wanted me to do would 36 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: take up most of my limited free time. 37 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: Plus in my jurisdiction. 38 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: There are rules and lots of warnings against giving free 39 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: legal advice to friends and family. It has the potential 40 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: to ruin my career, a career which I have just begun. 41 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: I also don't want to mix my professional and personal life. 42 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 2: The area of law I practice in is emotionally draining 43 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: and intensive. I love it, but for the purposes of 44 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: self preservation, I want my spare time to be work free. 45 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: While I'm more than happy to lend a sympathetic ear 46 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: to friends, I find it a bit much to continuously 47 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: put on my lawyer hat to provide solutions, opinions, and 48 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: dish out free legal advice to everyone that asks. It's 49 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: not a nice feeling to know you are being taken 50 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: advantage of. I politely refused Julie and told her that 51 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: I really wasn't comfortable to give away free legal advice, 52 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: but if she wanted recommendations, I would gladly provide her 53 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: with a list of capable lawyers. She said it was okay, 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: and we had a meaningful chat. It was really pleasant 55 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: to be able to speak to her again. Last night, 56 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: I was at a catch up dinner with a couple 57 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: of friends and our significant others.

Long story short, John is not a 175 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: citizen of my country and is actually going to an 176 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: interview in the next coming weeks along with Julie, to 177 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: cement his status as a permanent resident of my country. 178 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: Part of this process is basically having a squeaky clean 179 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: record and the full and frank disclosure of activity or 180 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: antisocial behavior. 181 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Since I am a character. 182 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: Reference that I provided in a non legal capacity and 183 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: wrote a really nice letter for John, this was well 184 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: before all the drama happened. It wouldn't look good for him. 185 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: I have no interest in ruining both his and Julie's life, 186 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: no matter how terrible, rude or mean they are, so 187 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 2: I don't want to make a report. However, I sent 188 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: one text message to both John and Julie which basically 189 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: said that if he did not stop bothering me, then 190 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: I would have no choice but to go to the 191 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: police and file. 192 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: A formal report. I'm sure that will get him to 193 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: bother you ever again. 194 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: I sent one text message to both John and Julie 195 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: which basically said that if he did not stop bothering me, 196 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: then I would have no choice but to go to 197 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 2: the police and file a formal report. 198 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure that will get him to not bother you 199 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: ever again. 200 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: Hopefully. 201 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: I have kept copies of these text messages if I 202 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: need to, and have blocked their numbers and have gone 203 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 2: into a. 204 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: Social media lockdown. 205 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: In regards to my professional concerns, every Monday, I have 206 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 2: a standing appointment with my supervising solicitor to debrief about 207 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: work and any problems that arise from work. As I 208 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: mentioned in the original thread, I practice in family law 209 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: and deal with a lot of at risk and vulnerable kids, 210 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: so the appointment goes beyond the realm of legal work. 211 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: I discussed what happened with John and Julie and asked 212 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: for her professional opinion. She was actually shocked with the 213 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: whole situation, and I had to show her the text 214 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: to prove it actually happened. She basically said there was 215 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: no way in the world that John and Julie could 216 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: get me into trouble because I didn't do anything wrong. 217 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: She also sa said that. 218 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: Because she knows how hard I work and how many 219 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: hours I put in at work, coupled with my known 220 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: distaste of corporate and commercial law, that she has no 221 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: qualms in backing me up in the unlikely event that 222 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: Julie and John try to cause me professional drama. She 223 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: also advised me to call the Bar Association to preempt 224 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: any problems, but the Bar Association said that I did 225 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: the right thing and that unless they have legitimate evidence 226 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: that proves that I've given them any advice or have 227 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: done anything wrong, then I'm in the clear. So it 228 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: looks as though I'm all good on that front. A 229 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: very good friend of mine that was at the dinner 230 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: where John exploded has sort of been talking to Julie 231 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: and John and letting me know what was going on. 232 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 2: My friend Jane told me that John wanted to make 233 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: a formal complaint and start something. 234 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: She wasn't too. 235 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: Sure of the exact details, but she shot him down 236 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: and said that this is in no way appropriate, acceptable, 237 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: or ethical, and that she or our circle of friends 238 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: would want anything to do with either John or Julie. 239 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: After this, Jane has told me that she wants nothing 240 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: to do with either of them and listed off the 241 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: number of times I've been there for both of them 242 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: and how stupid they are being. Jane also told me 243 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: that the reason why no one intervened at the dinner 244 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 2: party was because no one knew what to say. 245 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: Say John, shut up. 246 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: John, Yeah, I feel like you. Like someone could have 247 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 3: been like, hey, uh, why are we talking about this? 248 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: Say John? Why are you ruining the vibe of our dinner? 249 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 250 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: I really And then we go, uh, well, I'm not ruining, 251 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna messing around. Well, John, we'd like you 252 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: to mess around in a different way. It's time to 253 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: stop messing around like this. 254 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: You're getting messy with your mess around anyway. 255 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: John has always presented himself as being the nice guy 256 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: and the perfect boyfriend. His behavior was. 257 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: Completely out of left field and out of character, so 258 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 2: much so that people genuinely didn't know how to react. 259 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 2: Julie has always spoken so highly about John and how 260 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: perfect he is, and how lucky she is to have him, 261 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: how we all need to find our versions of John. 262 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: It sort of brought to light a few things about 263 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: him and their relationship, a few odd things that no 264 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: one could put their finger on. No one's relationship is 265 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: as perfect as John and Julie. Long story short, it 266 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: made a lot of people reconsider how they thought about 267 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: both of them. Someone in the original post pointed out 268 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: that their outburst and insistence for help is probably symptomatic 269 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: of a bigger problem. 270 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: Whoever said that was correct. 271 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: About a year ago, both John and Julie bought into 272 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: a business. I don't know the specific details, but at 273 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: the time John and Julie approached me and asked for 274 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: some legal advice, which I declined. I was actually in 275 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: my final semester of law school, and because they didn't 276 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: want to pay for a lawyer to draw things up 277 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: or look over contracts, they came to me. 278 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: At that time. 279 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: John was really dismissive of paying for legal advice and 280 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 2: said that he was more than capable of handling it himself. 281 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: It turns out he did a really terrible job. 282 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: They are losing money, and oh a lot of people 283 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: money angered a lot of people about money when both 284 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 2: he and Julie are genuinely screwed over. 285 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: By the contract in place. At least that's what Jane 286 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: told me. 287 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: I feel bad for them, I really do, but there 288 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: is literally nothing I can do. Yeah, I'm a lawyer, 289 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: but as I have stated time and time again, it 290 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: is not in an area of law I practice. It's 291 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: like asking a cardiologist to perform a lobotomy. My expertise 292 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: is family law, while I have a rudimentary knowledge of 293 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: business law and corporate law. The kind of advice they 294 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: need is beyond the scope of anything I can help 295 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 2: them with after much thought. Though even if I had 296 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: the ability, I don't know if I would want to. 297 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 2: The sense of entitlement they have and the flagrant disrespect 298 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: they have both shown to me has really upset me. 299 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 2: While John has been a monumental d bag, what really 300 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: stings the most is Julie. She was meant to be 301 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 2: an old friend, but it just really effing hurts. I mean, 302 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: imagine trying over and over again to meet up with 303 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: a friend, but they continuously bail on you. Then out 304 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: of the blue, they meet up with you, but instead 305 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: of exchanging pleasantries and yeah, I didn't even get a token, 306 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: how is it going for you? A pile of papers 307 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: get thrust into your hands, dozens of rapid fire, questions 308 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: about the law and demands to call people for them. 309 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: Requests to write carefully crafted. 310 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: Letters in your name on your office stationery, contracts and documents. 311 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: To look over. F that noise. 312 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: I don't want to finish work only to be inundated 313 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: with more work. 314 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm at arm's length permanently. With both of these folks. 315 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: It's like they made their bed, but they don't want 316 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: to lay in it. It's like, you know, you ask 317 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: for some help, but then you're like ohh And then 318 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: you're like, well, I don't really want to do it 319 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 3: for free, because I got a degree in this, and 320 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: I get that you're my friend, but I really don't 321 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: want to, you know, do more work for the cost 322 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 3: of nothing. 323 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. And also I can't do. 324 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: It, yeah, and also my reputations. 325 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 4: On the line. 326 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a corporate lawyer. 327 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. And also I just legally can't. And then they're like, 328 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: you cut yourself a friend. Fine, then we'll just do it, 329 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 3: and it's like okay, cool, and then he messes up 330 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: and then he ows a lot of people money, and 331 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 3: now they're like in a lot of debt or whatever. 332 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: And then they're like, well, maybe if you just helped 333 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: us in the first place, we wouldn't even be here. 334 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: And it's like, dude, this is your own fault. 335 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: Maybe you just needed to break it down into terms 336 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: they can understand. Maybe they just didn't understand. You need 337 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: to be like, Okay, I work with shapes. My shape 338 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: is a square. What you're asking for is help with 339 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: a circle. I can't help you with your circle. I 340 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: only do squares shapes.

Julie hasn't bothered 352 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: to speak to me, and I have no intention to 353 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: speak to her. Jane has said that Julie doesn't really 354 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: show any remorse, and while she understands my reluctance to 355 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: not get involved, thinks that I should be doing more 356 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: ef her and f doing more.

More just 362 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: meant doing what they want for them. It has been 363 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: a hard, harsh lesson.

Let's head to 400 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: the next one. 401 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 3: My friend lied about why we broke up, so I 402 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 3: told everyone the real reason. 403 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: The truth has been set free. 404 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 3: I am a part of a group of friends. John 405 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 3: three to one male, Kyle thirty three male, Patricia thirty 406 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 3: two female, and myself thirty two male.

As Opie says, from my perspective, that's 418 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: essentially the core group, because over time the group has 419 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: expanded to include Okay, there are a lot of names. 420 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: This are we supposed to There is a lot of 421 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: name going on.

The 426 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 3: group has expanded to include Katie thirty two female, Ryan 427 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: thirty three female, Laura thirty one female, Paul thirty two male, 428 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 3: and Tyler thirty six male. 429 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: You know what, I'm getting the whiteboard? 430 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: Thank what?

Katie, Laura, and Paul matriculated in some time during 433 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 3: high school. Ryan is Kyle's wife, and Tyler is Pat's husband. 434 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: Got it, I got it? I got it. Ryan is 435 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: Kyle's wife. 436 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: And Katie Tyler Tyler Tyler pat is Patricia. 437 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: Patricia, Yeah, Patricia. There we go. I've got it. I've 438 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: got it on lock. Okay. 439 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 3: They each met their spouses during college and they were 440 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 3: accepted within our group, and we've interacted with their friend 441 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: groups as well. After high school, everyone primarily kept in 442 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: contact through Facebook and iPhone group chats to dish out invites, memes, 443 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 3: and just general updates. Throughout life. We've had each one 444 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: for years now, and I'm just generally amazed each one 445 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: is still so active lol. Side note, the girls do 446 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 3: have an all girls chat and the guys have an 447 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: all guys chat about me. I'm the low maintenance friend 448 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 3: of the group, primarily because I'd be off doing my 449 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 3: own thing. I don't consider myself to be standoffish, but 450 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 3: I do have my own way about things. I had 451 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: to describe my personality, I'd say I'm an oatrovert. I'm 452 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 3: always catching everyone by surprise because I'm randomly commenting or 453 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 3: doing something unexpected. Wow, he's such an outrovert. I'd consider 454 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 3: myself a consistent friend because I show up for each 455 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: of my friends, from weddings and funerals to childbirths and graduations, birthdays, 456 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 3: promotion parties, anniversaries, etc. Sometimes things are hit and missdue 457 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 3: to my job, but I make it a point to 458 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 3: call slash texts and make alternate plans or something if 459 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 3: I can't celebrate them the day of. They've been there 460 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: for me as well. I had a huge tip to 461 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 3: the ladies of the group that started during high school, 462 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 3: but it eventually resolved it self. Sometime during summer break 463 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 3: of my sophomore year in college. I wouldn't say it 464 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 3: divided the group, but it was eye opening for me. 465 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 3: So I was the first of the group to have 466 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: a job and vehicle. I was blessed to get my 467 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: first job in tenth grade and blessed with parents who 468 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 3: were able to get me a vehicle for my commute. 469 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 3: Frequently my friends would ask for money. I didn't have 470 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 3: an issue with it because I had it. But my 471 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: personal boundary that I've always explained beforehand is just pay 472 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 3: me back on the agreed upon day or give me 473 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: some food. That's it sounds pretty reasonable. 474 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know if I would if. 475 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: I'm getting you something, you know, buy me dinner, get 476 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 3: me food, or give me back my money. It's still 477 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 3: in place to this day too. I've even added favors 478 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 3: to it. Need a hand moving, pay me or feed me, 479 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: car worked on or something clean, pay me or feed 480 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 3: me a babysitter, pay me or feed me for me. 481 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: That just keeps everything simple. Hey, pay me or feed me. 482 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm OPI welcome to pay me or feed me. I'll 483 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: do whatever you want, but you have to pay me 484 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: or feed me. Skin. 485 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 3: I never had a problem with the guys, they always 486 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 3: paid me back on time or got the food and 487 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 3: was never weird about it. The girls, though, there were 488 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 3: multiple times that I allowed days to be moved and 489 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 3: called myself working with them, or asked them to just 490 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 3: go get me some food, but they wouldn't. This is 491 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: from all three of them at the time. Eventually this 492 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 3: culminated in ME calling them out on it one day 493 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 3: when we were all out. I think it started from 494 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 3: a conversation about integrity. I don't believe how I said 495 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: it was disrespectful. I just provided my viewpoint. From there, 496 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: the girls essentially actively started avoiding me. Me and the 497 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 3: guys were fine, though we all still gamed online together, 498 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 3: played sports, and generally hung out. I even got John 499 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 3: a job where I was working. My senior year. They 500 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: all still hung out with the girls too, and went 501 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 3: places and took plenty of photos together. I didn't ask 502 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: about the girls, and I don't think they asked about me. 503 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 3: During my freshman year in college, my roommate introduced me 504 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 3: to red pill content, and essentially I agreed with some points. 505 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: Because of my lived experience up to that point, I'd 506 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 3: say that's when I started really paying attention to cross 507 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 3: gender relationships and friendships. This guy sounds like he's gonna 508 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: piss me off. 509 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: He does sound like a bit of a pisser. 510 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 3: My college sophomore break, John told not asked or even 511 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 3: invited Elowel to come to his high school graduation and party. 512 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: I went, and that's essentially when I reconnected and began 513 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 3: reconciling with the girls. That's also where I was introduced 514 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: to Tyler. I formally met Ryan a year later, randomly 515 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 3: during Thanksgiving when they were at Kyle's parents. Over time, 516 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: I've had more individual conversations with Katie, Laura, and Pat 517 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: about it, and they are all apologetic. Katie and Pat 518 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 3: have kind of become extended sisters and are super supportive 519 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 3: of me. Ryan has commented that she thought that they 520 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 3: were my sisters the first time she was around the group. 521 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's their way of trying to 522 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: patch things up, but I've explicitly told them everything is fine. 523 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 3: That all was ten to eleven years ago, and that's 524 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 3: still the dynamic to this day. Problem. Laura and myself 525 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: graduated high school together. My birthday is later in the 526 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: year in hers is earlier, so essentially I started school 527 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: a year behind. John and Kyle had the same situation. Pat, Kyle, 528 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 3: and Katie all graduated together. Shortly after reconciling with the girls, 529 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 3: I expressed to Laura that I'd like to pursue her romantically. 530 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: Initially everything was okay, but I ended things after I 531 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 3: found out she was dating someone else. I hadn't told 532 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: anyone that we were romantically involved, so when Katie asked 533 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: about some guys she set her up with in the 534 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: group chat, I found out she was seeing others. I 535 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: didn't get mad or anything. I just ended it and 536 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: wished her the best. Still treated her like everyone else. 537 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: Fast forward to now. Everyone is living their lives, and 538 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 3: some are more or less established in their respective careers, 539 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: and some are still figuring it out. Over the weekend, 540 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 3: there was a game night with everyone there and the 541 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 3: topic of dating came up. Laura makes some comments and 542 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 3: basically informs the group that we briefly dated. 543 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 2: Okay, a soft launch post relationship is kind of crazy energy. 544 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know why she had meant to that, 545 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 3: but maybe. 546 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, the reason or to let you know we were 547 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: doing stuff. Now we don't, but we did. 548 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: We briefly dated. Let's all have a nice little chuckle 549 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 3: about it. 550 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: Ooh, we now, Opie's gonna come in with the yeah, 551 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: and we might still be dating if you hadn't been sleeping. 552 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: Around on me. Were you gonna get messy? Are you 553 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna make it messy? 554 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: In her version, it's essentially I didn't want anything long 555 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 3: term with her because she didn't finish college. She was 556 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: still in college when I stopped pursuing her romantically. I 557 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: disagreed and explained again why I stopped pursuing her. Then 558 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 3: Katie makes the comment about why wouldn't I date Laura now? 559 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 3: And I said that's not a possibility, nor do I 560 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 3: ever see it being a possibility ever. Again, Laura asked 561 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: me to explain why, and I tried my best to 562 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 3: dodge it. Pat Tyler, Ryan and Kyle tried to help, 563 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 3: but Laura was adamant. 564 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: This is so funny. You're like, I don't want to 565 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: bury you. I don't want to bury you, please, and 566 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: she's like, no, take this shovel and bury me. 567 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 3: Side note too, I currently have a girlfriend and we 568 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: are in a polyamorous relationship. I lean on my elders 569 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: along with pat Tyler, Ryan and Kyle for guiance on 570 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 3: how to effectively communicate because they are my married friends, 571 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: so they are the only ones aware that I'm in 572 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: a relationship, and I explicitly asked them not to tell 573 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 3: anyone in the group. They've actually met her and we've 574 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 3: all been to places together. When I saw that Laura 575 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: wouldn't drop it, I told her why I don't see 576 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 3: myself pursuing her romantically without even mentioning my girlfriend. I 577 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 3: stated with details and examples about how I thought that 578 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: she was a horrible choice and a romantic partner, and 579 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: I believe that she could benefit from therapy. 580 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: Ooh, you asked for this, Laura. 581 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 3: Ooh ask and ye shall receive. Ooh eee opee. 582 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: Sometimes you don't have to, though, sometimes you just go 583 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: it just wouldn't work, yep. 584 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: Why because it wouldn't. Why it won't. 585 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 3: Drop it because I just don't want it to Why 586 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 3: you're not my type? 587 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: Boom that she gave her what she wanted. 588 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 3: I explain that she has a pattern of line cheating 589 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: and stealing in previous romantic relationships. Then I explained how 590 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 3: I believed that her life was in financial shambles and 591 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 3: I don't want to intermingle my life with that. Okay, 592 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: these are all. 593 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: You got what you wanted, Laura. 594 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 3: I still think she's gorgeous and I consider her a 595 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 3: legitimate friend, but beyond that, I can't allow myself to 596 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 3: ever be involved with her beyond our friendship. 597 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: Look, sometimes people ask and they're not ready, and you 598 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: didn't really do anything wrong. You just told them exactly 599 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: why you would never be interested in dating them. You know, 600 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 2: I gotta say I'm the kind of person who would 601 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: also do that if I'm pressed over and over, if 602 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: I go I got thoughts in my head, they wouldn't 603 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: be very nice, though, so I won't say them. And 604 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: if they hounded me and also had lied about it 605 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 2: in the first place, I would go, Okay, fine, here's 606 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: what I think. And also I love you as a friend, 607 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 2: but I would never date you. 608 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. She kind of asked 609 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: for it, but I don't think he needed to be 610 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: that blunt. But I also think he was like being 611 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: berated and she wasn't letting it down. And all of 612 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: the friends were like nah, nah, like it's cool, we 613 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: don't have to get into him. She's like, no, tell 614 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 3: me now, and he's like, Okay, well for starters, then 615 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: in and and and you know, yeah, and now she's like, 616 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: she probably ran away crass. I didn't want to hear 617 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 3: the truth. 618 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 619 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 3: I just thought I wasn't your type or something. You 620 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 3: didn't have to go through my whole entire life anyway. Oh, 621 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 3: he continues, She ended up shedding a tear and excused 622 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 3: herself to it. It became awkward after that, so I 623 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: apologize to everyone for ruining the mood and left. I 624 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: told my girlfriend what happened, and she said, if that's 625 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 3: how I felt, then don't get hung up over it. 626 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: I've talked to the girls on the game since then, 627 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 3: and they stated they don't think that what I was 628 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 3: saying was cruel. I still haven't heard anything from Patter 629 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 3: or Katy, though usually they would be in the group chat, 630 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: but now they are silent. Ryan called and we discussed it, 631 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: and she said that's probably something that Laura needed here. 632 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: Oh so now I'm here asking Am I the a 633 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: hole for explaining it the way that I did? 634 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: No, not, not at all. 635 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 3: Honestly, I think there's always a kind way to say things. 636 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: But which you're an expert at I don't know what 637 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: you mean. 638 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 3: I'm very kind with my words, and I think that 639 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 3: you could have been a little less.

Honestly, though, I just don't have the 688 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: budget and this would eat up my holidays for twenty 689 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 2: twenty five, which is not really how I want. 690 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: To spend it. 691 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I love her and would be 692 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: so happy to see her on her big day. 693 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: But is it me or our brides. 694 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: Becoming total bridezillas with these crazy demands?

Karen doesn't seem to understand 698 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 2: why I'm hesitating, and she keeps pushing us to get 699 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: the tickets, and I'm starting to get frustrated. Well, just 700 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 2: the first thing you do is you go, well, are 701 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 2: you gonna pay for them? Can you pay for them 702 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: for me? Can you afford to pay for my tickets? No? 703 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: Oh, well I can't afford to pay for my tickets. 704 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 2: So we should both understand where we're coming from, Right, 705 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: you can't buy my tickets. 706 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: I can't buy my tickets.

Am I being unreasonable for wanting to skip 711 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: this whole destination wedding thing? 712 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: Uh? And there's an update, But no, you're not. 713 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you're being the a hole. I 714 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 3: feel like a lot of people want to do destination weddings, 715 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 3: which is like great, but like they also have to 716 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: understand that not everyone can afford to do that and 717 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 3: has the time to do that with like you know, 718 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 3: work job, whatever, financials, all of that. It's just like 719 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 3: a lot of people. We'll ask a lot. But you know, 720 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 3: I don't think she should hold it against you that 721 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 3: you can't go because you're not financially in a position 722 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 3: to do that. That's just not fair. 723 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Update one year and four months later. 724 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: I wanted to update because I genuinely don't know if 725 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: I lost one of my closest friendships over this. 726 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and bet you did. And that's okay, 727 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: because this is not your friend if she's going to 728 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: demand that anyway. 729 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: For background, we all live in Paris. That's Paris for 730 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: all of you uneducated slobs out there. She's She's American, 731 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 2: big family wedding in a beautiful wine region near where 732 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 2: her parents live. Very aesthetic, very instagram, very curated. The 733 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: groom is France. My boyfriend actually introduced them years ago. 734 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 2: We were not casual friends. We will see each other 735 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 2: every other day kind of friends. Wine nights, random dinners 736 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 2: during the week, group chats con instantly, and trips and 737 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 2: real life closeness. When the US wedding was announced, I 738 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 2: did the math between the flights and hotels and activities 739 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 2: like boat day and wine tours, et cetera. It would 740 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 2: have been close to four to five thousand for us 741 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: if we stayed a week. That is a huge amount 742 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: of money for us. And the entire Paris friend group 743 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 2: felt the same. No one here has family in the 744 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 2: US to combine it with. Before the US wedding, she 745 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 2: came to us with a big bouquet and a bottle 746 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 2: of wine and asked us to be bridesmaids and groomsmen. 747 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 2: It was filmed, very emotional, very moment. The thing is 748 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 2: I had already told her it was almost impossible for 749 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 2: us to go it felt like being emotionally cornered on camera. 750 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: That's because that's exactly what that was. Yeah. 751 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 3: She basically was just like say it, say it. It's 752 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 3: like those public proposals that people do and they're like 753 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 3: everyone's watching. You want to do this right, and it's like, ah, 754 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 3: I yes. Uh. 755 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 2: We didn't say no in that moment, because how do 756 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 2: you it was awkward. A few days later I met 757 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 2: her alone and told her clearly we couldn't commit because 758 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 2: of money. We wouldn't be able to travel or do 759 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: anything else that year if we went. 760 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: She brushed it off. Yeah, you know, but something shifted. 761 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: How can you say, yeah, I know after you asked them. 762 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 4: To do it? 763 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? 764 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? What? 765 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: There's an important detail. 766 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 2: Before the US wedding, we organized and fully paid for 767 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: a Portugal stag pen weekend for both of them. 768 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: It was amazing. 769 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 2: We put effort and money and time into celebrating them, 770 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 2: so it's not like we didn't show up in other ways. 771 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 2: Then two months later came the small French wedding. Yes 772 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,720 Speaker 2: we got the invite. It was beautiful, intimate and so fun, 773 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 2: but she was different, distant and polite and surface level 774 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 2: not the person I used to sit with for hours 775 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 2: talking about everything. Now it's been about six or seven 776 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 2: months since that wedding. I've maybe seen her five times 777 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 2: every time. 778 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 3: Now, So that's a real shift. 779 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean, and there is you know, I've heard that 780 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: I have heard that once you get married, it's like, 781 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, people see each other less. But I mean, yeah, 782 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. 783 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: It does feel like she's taking I mean, and it 784 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 2: wasn't just you, right, did everyone else go on the trip? 785 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: Did Is it anyone else noticing her being distant? 786 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 3: Like I don't know, because like the thing is, even 787 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 3: if I get distant, like after a wedding, during the wedding, 788 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to be very excited to see like my 789 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 3: friends and you know, people that I love there to 790 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 3: celebrate with me. Like I don't know, I wouldn't be 791 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 3: like thanks for coming, Like no, I'd be jumping up 792 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 3: and down and be like let's go get drinks. 793 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a weird Energy's weird. Now every time 794 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 2: the group tries to meet, she makes excuses or insists 795 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 2: we come all the way to their place forty five 796 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 2: minutes outside Paris instead of just eating centrally where all 797 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 2: of us live. It feels like a subtle barrier. Meanwhile, 798 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 2: she messages my boyfriend weekly for work advice. Let's meet soon, 799 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 2: texts professional warmth, but with me, it's cold. How's work? 800 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 2: How's life? End of conversation. I've tried reaching out a 801 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 2: few let's get a coffee and chat messages always yes, soon, 802 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 2: but it never happens. After a while, I stopped chasing, 803 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 2: and I can't help but feel like I didn't fit 804 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 2: into the wedding storyline she imagined. The American bridesmaids flew in. 805 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 2: The Instagram content happened, the dream aesthetic was fulfilled, the 806 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 2: parish girls didn't. Did we get quietly downgraded? I don't 807 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 2: know if she is consciously resentful of us for not going, 808 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 2: or if weddings just reorganize people's emotional priorities, but it 809 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 2: feels like I lost someone who used to be one 810 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 2: of my closest friends, and that makes me really sad 811 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: Am I overthinking this. Did I underestimate how much not 812 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 2: going would hurt her? Or is this just what happens 813 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 2: when expectations don't match reality and there is a second update. Honestly, girl, 814 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 2: there's one way to do it and you just hit 815 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 2: her up, and whether it's just a phone call or 816 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 2: text messages, you just go, hey, I gotta get clear 817 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 2: with you because it feels like everything has kind of 818 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 2: shifted since the whole not going to the US wedding 819 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 2: thing happened. 820 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: So what's going on?

I'm sure there's a second update. 830 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: Thank you everyone for you all comments. I just want 831 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 2: to clarify a few things. Accommodation in the US was 832 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 2: not included. The hotels and airbnbs that were suggested were 833 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 2: about three hundred dollars per night for one week, plus 834 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: flights plus act pivities, the wine tours one hundred fifty 835 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 2: of person, the boat day drinks or not included. Other excursions. 836 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 2: It really added up close to forty five thousand for 837 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 2: us as a couple. That is just too much for 838 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 2: our reality. It's honestly too much for almost any reality. 839 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 2: Let's be honest. 840 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 3: True. I mean, unless you like are really really well off, 841 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 3: but most people are not. 842 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 2: It was not about not caring. We organized and paid 843 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 2: for the Portugal weekend before we went to the French wedding. 844 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 2: We did celebrate them. And about the esthetic part, I 845 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: don't use Instagram or TikTok, but I saw through friends 846 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 2: that she posted reels of giving bouquets to the bridesmaids, 847 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: cutting us out. Obviously, the whole thing felt very curated. 848 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 2: Maybe that created expectations. Our group is very international. We 849 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 2: all met at an international company. Americans, Colombians, Portuguese, Spanish, French. 850 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: Oh my. 851 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: It was not about excluding her culture. It was just 852 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: money and about meeting now. Also, America has no culture 853 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 2: except jazz and barbecue. I can say that I'm American 854 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 2: and baseball, yeah yeah, and baseball. 855 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: There we go, and about meeting now. Paris is big. 856 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: We all commute thirty plus minutes every day and work central, 857 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 2: so it makes sense to meet there. I don't think 858 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 2: she's a bad person. I just think something changed and 859 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 2: it was never talked about. That is what hurts. I 860 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 2: just don't know if I have it in me to 861 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 2: confront her at this point. 862 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: Don't like that. That's the end of that story. 863 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then yeah, your friendship is gone if you 864 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 2: don't have the chutzpah to even just talk about it. 865 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, girl, if you really want this friendship to work, 866 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 3: just talk about it. Like you're saying, I feel like 867 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 3: I lost a friend. You know, she doesn't like me, 868 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 3: she hates me now and in yeah, and it's like okay, 869 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 3: then what you don't even know for sure what she's 870 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 3: feeling because you haven't talked to her. Literally, just do 871 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 3: like a day, like go up for like a day 872 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 3: over the weekend, Like just be like, oh, hey, I'm 873 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 3: gonna be up there Saturday.

I mean, forty five 876 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 3: minutes really isn't like that horrible of it? Drive? Yeah, 877 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 3: I mean depending on traffic, I guess, But like I 878 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 3: don't know, like you can just take a day and 879 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 3: be like I want to catch up. I feel like 880 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 3: we haven't seen each other. We've been kind of distant, 881 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 3: like let's just, you know, have a little girl's time 882 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 3: and then get into it and get answers.

How do you let that go 891 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 3: on for a year. 892 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 5: I've personally never had lice double knock on wood right now, 893 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 5: never had it double knock on wood, but I cannot. 894 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 3: I've had like other I've had. 895 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 5: I had a scalp condition that it was in dan drift, 896 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 5: but it was another like dry like it caused my 897 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 5: scalp to. 898 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 3: Beauty itchy, and that was torturous. 899 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:11,439 Speaker 1: That's all. 900 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 3: We've been together for four years, have a couple of kids, 901 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 3: and are doing just fine.

Maybe we do, but we don't. We would 910 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 3: love to know what you would do in the comments, 911 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 3: because we're gonna tell you what we're doing right now. Yeah, okay, 912 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 3: got it, Yeah. 913 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: Go to work. 914 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 3: Okay. As Op says, my wife went for a haircut 915 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 3: like eight months ago and was embarrassed to find out 916 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 3: she had lice and they wouldn't cut her hair. We 917 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 3: assume she got it from a friend's daughter who we 918 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 3: hadn't seen in months, since she had lice and would 919 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,919 Speaker 3: stay over often and even gave it to her son. 920 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 3: We used those lyce combs and treatment a few times, 921 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 3: but my wife has very long and fine hair, so 922 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 3: we miss some and accomplished virtually nothing. Now I'm not 923 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 3: upset because we've been unsuccessful. I'm upset because in the 924 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 3: last six months, my wife has not attempted any treatment 925 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 3: at all. She has been completely ignoring the problem and 926 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 3: gets annoyed at me when I bring it up. She 927 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,919 Speaker 3: always has an excuse ready for why she can't do 928 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 3: anything about it at the moment, and has probably set 929 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 3: at least a dozen dates where she says she'll set 930 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 3: time aside to handle it, but something always comes up 931 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 3: or she just forgets No. 932 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 5: Genuinely, I would say you have to handle this right now, 933 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,280 Speaker 5: and I would help her. I would because she's probably embarrassed. 934 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 5: I will help her as well. 935 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,320 Speaker 3: I would say, Hey, we're gonna solve this right now. Cancel. 936 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 5: I don't care what you're doing. 937 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna get you to a doctor. 938 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna do this. 939 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 5: I'm gonna help you get it out because you guys 940 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 5: have kids. You can't be being around a kid and 941 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 5: giving them lice and then sending them to school. 942 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 3: Last week, she called a service that treats lice, but 943 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,760 Speaker 3: didn't get a call back and never followed up. Girl 944 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 3: Now she says she'll call again next week because she 945 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 3: doesn't have any money. I don't want to lose my 946 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 3: family over such a seemingly stupid issue. But I really 947 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 3: just never saw myself married to someone who lacks the 948 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 3: resolve to get rid of a bug infestation in their 949 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 3: own hair. It's disgusting. It is a turn off. It's selfish. 950 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 3: She'll give it to me or my kids eventually, and 951 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 3: it is indicative of a much larger character flawed that 952 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 3: I can't quite put my finger on. Even aside from 953 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 3: all of that, the everyday nuance of having bugs in 954 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 3: her hair is very irritating. 955 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 5: We can't spoon, dude, I would I don't know, just 956 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 5: like based off of I mean, Savanna, I think you already. 957 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,319 Speaker 3: Know what I would do, But I would not be 958 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 3: around her. I would be so far away from her. 959 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 3: She can't get a haircut, even though she desperately needs one. 960 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 3: She'll put her head on mine without thinking during spicies. 961 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 3: So you're having spicies and it will completely ruin the 962 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,760 Speaker 3: mood for me, et cetera. Yeah, no, not doing anything 963 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 3: with that. 964 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: See this is the issue, Opie. 965 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 5: I think that you would get your way a lot 966 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 5: quicker if you said no spice to sleep, you said, hey, 967 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 5: please don't touch me until you get that sorted out. 968 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 5: Just set the boundary of like, hey, we're not going 969 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 5: to be at all physical and you're not going to 970 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 5: touch the kids until you sort that. 971 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 3: Out, and I'll help you. The worst thing is that 972 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 3: she's super insecure about it and also acts like nothing 973 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 3: is really wrong since she's getting it taken care of soon. 974 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 3: But she's been acting like this for over six months 975 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 3: and still treats me like I'm being a butt. If 976 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 3: I bring it up, she reacts like I'm making a 977 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 3: jab at her looks or her weight. I'm extremely confident 978 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 3: at this point that if I were to just ignore 979 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 3: the issue and let her handle it in her own time, 980 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,720 Speaker 3: like I was doing for months, that this might possibly 981 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 3: never be resolved unless people here convince me it's a 982 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 3: stupid idea. I'm probably going to show her this. I've 983 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 3: tried talking to her about it, but it doesn't accomplish anything, 984 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 3: and she just immediately gets irritated and changes the subject. 985 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 3: There is an edit. There is a lot of misinformation 986 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,280 Speaker 3: about lice here. Keep these facts in mind before adding 987 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 3: to the problem. Lice only survive off of the host 988 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 3: for like a day. They can't jump or fly, and 989 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 3: they don't carry disease. Oh, pets can't get lice. I 990 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,439 Speaker 3: did learn that. I did learn that from my quick 991 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 3: Google serow. I one hundred percent do not have lice, 992 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,319 Speaker 3: and neither do my kids, So please stop telling me 993 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 3: we do. There is an update four days later, who 994 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 3: after several months, have absolutely no progress. I really wasn't 995 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 3: expecting to have an update for you all after just 996 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 3: a few days, but here it is. I talked to 997 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 3: her when I got home and managed to find a 998 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 3: few minutes alone without distractions, and asked her for a 999 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 3: status update on the lice's removal. Long story short, I 1000 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,919 Speaker 3: just met with another excuse as to why it would 1001 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 3: have to wait until next week, and my foot came down. 1002 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 3: I don't think she took it seriously until later on 1003 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 3: in the night when we went to bed, I slept 1004 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 3: on our futon instead of with her, and also turned 1005 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 3: her down for a spicy sleep, which is something that 1006 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 3: I am pretty sure has happened only like twice in 1007 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 3: our entire relationship. The very next day, she called and 1008 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 3: made an appointment to get professionally delost. I went with 1009 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 3: her to the appointment and they were able to check 1010 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 3: me as well. The woman did not find anything in 1011 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 3: my hair, even with a magnifying glass and a UV 1012 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 3: light that apparently makes the nitz glow. My wife was 1013 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 3: treated and is now lice free, ice free. Wow, it 1014 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,360 Speaker 3: took so little time, literally like I would break up 1015 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 3: with her just based off how long a little time 1016 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 3: it took. 1017 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: No, I'm just kidding. They're married. 1018 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 3: We talked afterwards about why it took so long for 1019 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 3: her to get it taken care of. Many of you 1020 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 3: were right. She was embarrassed, broke, discouraged from the hours 1021 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 3: we wasted trying to treat it ourselves in the beginning, 1022 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 3: and it was just easier for her to not think 1023 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,399 Speaker 3: about it. Also, once we moved into my parents' house, 1024 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 3: she was even more embarrassed and did not want them 1025 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 3: to know about it. Pretty Much all of the at 1026 00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 3: home treatments would be passway gave away. She apologized, vacuumed, 1027 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 3: did all of our laundry embedding, and we have put 1028 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 3: this annoyance behind us. We also checked our son when 1029 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 3: he got home from school, and he's in the clear too, 1030 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,280 Speaker 3: So that's that. Still have to get to the bottom 1031 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 3: of why someone would think it's preferable to have lice 1032 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 3: than to deal with the embarrassment of people knowing you 1033 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 3: have lice. But I think that's one of those pesky 1034 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 3: communication things that we have to work on. Thanks very 1035 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 3: much to those of you that responded with legitimate advice. 1036 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 3: I got over one hundred pms after my post was 1037 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,720 Speaker 3: locked regarding life's treatments that you found successful. Lol, since 1038 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 3: the last post got a ton more attention than I 1039 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 3: was expecting and the comments were like sixty percent misinformation 1040 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 3: about lice all clear? Few things up with info that 1041 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 3: I learned from the professionals at the lausing clinic.

What happened next? Here's 1056 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 3: some lice facts. Lice can't live anywhere except on a 1057 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 3: human head, and they pass away about twenty four hours 1058 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 3: if they are away. I feel like. 1059 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 5: You've solved it for now, but definitely have a big 1060 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 5: conversation about this. 1061 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 1: Can happen in the future. Yeah, I agree. 1062 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,879 Speaker 3: I think being like, okay, cool. Now we know how 1063 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 3: easy it is next time it happens. If it does, 1064 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 3: we're doing this as soon as we know, as soon 1065 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,240 Speaker 3: as we know getting rid of it. Since they pass 1066 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 3: away so quickly, it's not possible to have a lice 1067 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 3: infestation in your home or on your furniture. All we 1068 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 3: were told to do to make sure she doesn't get 1069 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,959 Speaker 3: reinfected from a stray louse was to either stay away 1070 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 3: from unwashed pillow, slash, slash, hat slash bedding for a 1071 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 3: couple days, or to wash it in hot water. Some 1072 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 3: people are immune to lice in different families. The word 1073 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 3: the de Lauser used of lice only like certain types 1074 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 3: of hair. In other words, it's entirely possible to live 1075 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 3: with someone with lice and not get lice. 1076 00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 5: It says, no one is truly one hundred percent immune 1077 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 5: to lice, as anyone with hair can get them, regardless 1078 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 5: of cleanliness. However, some individuals, if you're bald, I don't 1079 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,840 Speaker 5: think you can get if you have alopecia, huh, I 1080 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 5: don't think you can get lice if you're bald. However, 1081 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 5: some individuals are significantly less susceptible due to factors like 1082 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 5: hair texture, tightly coiled hair makes it hard for lice 1083 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 5: to grip, or potential though unproven biological factors. 1084 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 3: Interesting. 1085 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 5: So it says, like black individuals that hair type is 1086 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 5: less likely to get head lice because the air shop 1087 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,240 Speaker 5: shape makes it hard for lice to grasp and attach 1088 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 5: the riggs. 1089 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:05,280 Speaker 3: That is interesting. 1090 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 5: Then you freaking know, and it says myths versus reality. 1091 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 5: Lies do not prefer dirty. 1092 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 3: Hair over clean hair. 1093 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 5: They are simply looking for a warm human head. 1094 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 3: Aw, me too. 1095 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: And that's the end of this story. Let's head to 1096 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: the next one. Hey, it's Keon, your favorite Filipino. Here. 1097 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 1: We're going to get back to the stories. But here's 1098 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,720 Speaker 1: three minutes of ads from our sponsors. 1099 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 4: I asked my husband to skip his best friend's wedding. 1100 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 4: He walked out. 1101 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 3: Wait, he walked out on the wedding or walked out 1102 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 3: on you. 1103 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 4: God, talk about a bad situation. This has been a 1104 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,879 Speaker 4: massive rough patch in our relationship and I don't know 1105 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 4: how much I am to blame. I twenty seven female, 1106 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 4: met my husband Roger, twenty five male, five years ago 1107 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 4: at college and we started dating. Meeting each other's families 1108 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 4: and friends and getting married last night. By the way, 1109 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 4: this comes from Throwaway four and a few nesp your 1110 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 4: own stories go to the rm slash Okay storytime subreddit. 1111 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 4: I'm Riley, I'm Savannah and ham Ben sounds and we're 1112 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 4: here to be goofy and you're here to comment about 1113 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 4: your real experiences. Nothing less and hope, he says. One 1114 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 4: of Roger's best friends is Camilla twenty six female as Emmett, 1115 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 4: junior year of high school. Roger had unreturned feelings for 1116 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 4: Camilla for like two years before he got over her 1117 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 4: five months later is when he met me. I'd be 1118 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 4: lying if I said I didn't have my issues in 1119 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 4: insecurities with Camilla in the beginning. I was already wary 1120 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 4: of Roger's previous feelings, and Camilla rarely ever tried to 1121 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 4: initiate conversation and just acted nervous with me. On top 1122 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 4: of that, Camilla acted touchy with Roger, hands around waist 1123 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,720 Speaker 4: during photos or bops on the head and shoulder. While 1124 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 4: she's touchy with all of her friends. It felt Hella 1125 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 4: inappropriate and disrespectful. Politely asked Camilla to stop, and she apologized. 1126 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 4: But got defensive. An argument happened, and we were always 1127 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,240 Speaker 4: on ify to okay terms after that. So Roger assured 1128 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,320 Speaker 4: me that he'd loved me and had no feelings for Camilla, 1129 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 4: and I continued to trust him after that. Over a 1130 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 4: year ago, Camilla got engaged to her boyfriend of now 1131 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 4: three years, Lucas Mail twenty three. Yay, she is no 1132 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 4: longer an issue. 1133 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 1: Okay. 1134 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 4: So, however, my parents announced a month ago that they 1135 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 4: planned and paid for a surprise visit for the family 1136 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 4: to go to New York in early September. My dad 1137 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 4: is going down there to meet some college friends, and 1138 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,720 Speaker 4: he figured he'd be fun for everyone to go down 1139 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,359 Speaker 4: that weekend. Excited, I told Roger last night we had 1140 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 4: to go, but he reminded me that Camilla's wedding was 1141 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,720 Speaker 4: that weekend. Roger said he and Camilla and their friends 1142 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,919 Speaker 4: also wanted to watch season five of some show called 1143 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:05,440 Speaker 4: Cobra Kai. Frustrated, I told Roger that I was already 1144 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,280 Speaker 4: willing to go in the first place, despite the fact 1145 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 4: that Camilla and I don't get along, and I was 1146 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 4: only going to do it for him. I knew how 1147 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 4: much of a history the two of them had and 1148 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 4: how close they stayed, so I genuinely did understand. However, 1149 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 4: how many butts and however is are you gonna put 1150 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 4: in this opie? I told Roger that my family commitments 1151 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 4: have to come first and that he can't disrespect me 1152 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 4: and my family by turning this trip down. 1153 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 7: There's an ultimatum, but also, like in that relationship, I 1154 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 7: feel like that's an okay thing to ask. It's not 1155 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,280 Speaker 7: an unjust ultimatum. It's like, hey, what do you value 1156 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 7: more this person that I'm designing to, that you're designing 1157 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,760 Speaker 7: to spend your life with, or your old friend. 1158 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 4: Roger said that he was sorry Camilla hasn't been there 1159 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 4: for him since they were teenagers, and that he didn't 1160 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 4: want to miss the special day of one of his 1161 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 4: best friends getting married. I cried a little, as it 1162 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 4: seems he is prioritizing this one girl he knows gets 1163 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 4: under my skin over his own wife and in laws. 1164 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 4: This led to a really bad fight, and Roger packed 1165 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 4: his bags and left the house. My parents respected Roger's decision, 1166 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 4: but my brother and sister in law agree with me 1167 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 4: that Roger should come. My friends are split on this, 1168 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 4: and Roger's been staying at buddy's house. Since last night, 1169 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,359 Speaker 4: some of Roger's friends have texted me that I'm being 1170 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 4: unreasonable and selfish, but Camilla and Lucas have not said 1171 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 4: anything to me. Am I the A hole? I think 1172 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 4: we already know what they think. Vincent's savannah one word 1173 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 4: is OP the A hole? Yes or no? Yes, yes, Vincent. 1174 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 7: I'm gonna flip flop and say yes all right because 1175 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 7: I put myself in the situation. If if I couldn't 1176 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 7: go to my buddy's wedding that I've been friends with 1177 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 7: since preschool, that'd be an issue. 1178 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 4: Edits people need to stop assuming this has to do 1179 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 4: with my insecurities or dislike a Camilla and their friendship 1180 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,840 Speaker 4: with Roger. I've already admitted to being insecure in the 1181 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 4: beginning before Roger and I talked about it. But regardless, 1182 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 4: Camilla still gave me reasons to be sussed out with 1183 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 4: the things I described in my post, So. 1184 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 3: Then she's not over it. 1185 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 4: It's my family over this one girl that I am on. 1186 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 4: If he terms with anyone in my situation would prioritize 1187 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 4: the former. I understand why Roger is upset, but he 1188 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 4: needs to see my point of view. More, and I've 1189 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 4: been trying to do that with him. Edit too, Okay, 1190 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 4: I was not expecting this to blow up as much 1191 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 4: as it did. It seems a majority of the people 1192 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 4: think I'm the ahole here. A few understand where I'm 1193 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 4: coming from, and I appreciate that. But in the past 1194 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 4: several hours I have been thinking of a lot and 1195 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 4: reflecting a lot for me. But at the same time, 1196 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of people are forgetting I'm 1197 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 4: still human and with feelings and flaws. I do sincerely 1198 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 4: trust Roger and I know he wouldn't cheat, but even then, 1199 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 4: something always seems to be slightly off with Kamilla. Maybe 1200 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 4: it's because she'll barely talk to me, or because some 1201 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 4: mutual friends have cracked jokes about the feud. I don't know. 1202 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 4: I could be handling all this better. I mean, yeah, 1203 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 4: that's a lot easier said than done, but can we 1204 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 4: all just do our best? 1205 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 6: Regardless? 1206 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 4: Camilla ended up privately texting me an hour ago. Finally, 1207 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 4: she told me she's in a way too shocked to 1208 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 4: even express how angry she is about the whole thing. 1209 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,640 Speaker 4: She's accused me of never giving her a chance and 1210 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 4: always letting some bs past crush affect everything. She's acknowledged. 1211 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 4: Roger indeed had various serious feelings for her in high school, 1212 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 4: but they both moved past it, and that he's choosing 1213 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 4: to love me and spend my life with me. Camillas 1214 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 4: said it'll break her heart if Roger doesn't get to 1215 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,479 Speaker 4: see her get married, especially since our friendship goes back 1216 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 4: to eighth period study hall junior year. I haven't responded yet. 1217 00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 4: I don't know how I'm gonna Roger texted me ten 1218 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 4: minutes ago that he's gonna be home around eight to 1219 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 4: nine hours and he wants to talk. 1220 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 3: Then. 1221 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 4: I agree. I'll keep you all updated on how that goes. 1222 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 4: Roger came home around three hours ago. We had to 1223 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 4: talk about an hour's long, but Roger started off by 1224 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 4: saying he was standing his ground with going to the wedding. 1225 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 4: He asserted that he committed to his best friend's wedding 1226 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 4: first before some surprise family trip, and that not going 1227 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 4: would be insulting and absolutely terrible for their friendship. Roger 1228 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 4: also apologized if I still felt insecure about his past 1229 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 4: feelings and friendship with Camilla, but that he didn't know 1230 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 4: what else he could do for me but to just 1231 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 4: trust him. He literally said, I've been doing my best 1232 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 4: for the the past five years, and somehow you still 1233 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 4: want to be enemies with one of my closest friends. 1234 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 4: After like twenty seconds, I broke down sobbing. At that point, 1235 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 4: seeing my husband so defeated took a lot out of me, 1236 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 4: and I repeatedly apologized as I buried my face in 1237 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,439 Speaker 4: my hands and cried. After that, we took the next 1238 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 4: few hours to talk about everything. Truth be told, I 1239 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 4: was convinced for the longest time that I truly did 1240 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 4: trust Roger and that any will I had towards Camillo 1241 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 4: was just because I got cold in a weird vibe 1242 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 4: from her. However, reading through the massive amounts of comments 1243 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 4: on my posts and reminiscing on the past five years 1244 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 4: did a lot from me. We are the clouds clearing 1245 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 4: up here. 1246 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 7: I think they might be I think she's I think 1247 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 7: Op's coming around. 1248 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 4: I love Roger and I always have and I wouldn't 1249 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 4: want anything to risk effing our relationship up. And yes, 1250 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 4: I'm gonna swallow my pride and admit it, but I 1251 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 4: think I've always been a jealous person. 1252 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:15,160 Speaker 3: Girl we became We've been new this all time. So 1253 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 3: you're jealous and insecure at both of the worst qualities 1254 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 3: in person. 1255 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 4: But but but for growth. But we have growth. 1256 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:21,520 Speaker 1: But now you know that you are. 1257 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, she's realizing it. 1258 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,880 Speaker 4: Yes, fifty percent of solving the problem is understanding the problem. 1259 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,320 Speaker 4: I'm proud. Even since I was a teenager, I had 1260 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,800 Speaker 4: a habit of getting jealous when any of the guys 1261 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,560 Speaker 4: I went out with had female friends. Though I never 1262 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,400 Speaker 4: outright told any of the guys to drop their friends. 1263 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 4: That habit eventually passed away. But there was something deep 1264 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 4: with Camilla. I think, deep down throughout dating Roger always 1265 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 4: had some underlying fear that I was just Roger's second 1266 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 4: choice after you had gotten over Camilla, that he dumped 1267 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 4: me in a heartbeat if she ever changed her mind 1268 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 4: about him. This was something that calm really helped me realize, 1269 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 4: even if some people were a bit too heck bent 1270 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 4: on tearing me a new one. Still, our relationship has 1271 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 4: had a lot of high points, and I get along 1272 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 4: with his family and other girler guy friends. Now, my 1273 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 4: parents really did have the best intentions planning that trip, 1274 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 4: and they really did think we were free. To all 1275 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 4: the conspiracy theorists who thought I planned the whole thing 1276 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 4: that is not true. I was about to throw that 1277 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 4: out there. 1278 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 3: Wow, I thought she was like. 1279 01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 4: Oh, this is the only way he couldn't go. However, 1280 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 4: I do realize now that it was wrong of me 1281 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 4: to try and force Roger into going along with something 1282 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 4: so impromptu instead of his best friend's wedding. I told 1283 01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 4: all of this to Roger as I finally apologized, and 1284 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 4: he forgave me. 1285 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,280 Speaker 6: Yes, what you're not sold, you're not. 1286 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 3: Let's confront the board, all right, So we got some 1287 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 3: growth happening all over this board. Growth. She still doesn't 1288 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:20,240 Speaker 3: like Camilla for absolutely no reason at all. She's an 1289 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 3: insecure witch. But I'll give her that. I'll give her 1290 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,919 Speaker 3: the growth. But what the main thing is is go 1291 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 3: get therapy, girl, Go get therapy, because you're not doing 1292 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,200 Speaker 3: any of this healthily, like her being like, yeah, just 1293 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 3: I've realized from reading all of your guys's opinions about me, 1294 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 3: and I am a witch and I have a lot 1295 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,600 Speaker 3: of insecurity and jealousy problems. And maybe you know, she 1296 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 3: never even mentioned therapy, but I think. 1297 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 1: She should get a therapy of course, because. 1298 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, we've been together five years and I 1299 01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 3: still think that he would choose her in a heartbeat. 1300 01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 4: Oh that's so tough. 1301 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 6: So Savannah, you're calling crocodile tears on this. 1302 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh for sure.
