I could understand, so I agreed. Okay, 33 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: but big butt, big butts always we love big butts. 34 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 2: My sister in law has been nothing short of a nightmare. Well, 35 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: shout out to Disney for making sure I hate every 36 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: mother in law. Yeah, Cinderella hates the mother in law. 37 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: You know she's actually looking like a smash honestly a 38 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: laster girl. You know, dude, you know that she can 39 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: expand that boody too. Also like tightness. 40 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: My bridesmaids all assisted in handwriting and sending out our 41 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: wedding invitations, but the ones my sister in law helped 42 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: with all had zero invitations inside and instead was just 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: an empty envelope. I know they were hers because everyone 44 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: had different shapes of pink to work from. She also 45 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: took the longest out our makeup and hair consultations, even 46 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: extending her appointment an hour, to which I was charged for. 47 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 1: I am covering her expenses as she is a stay 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: at home mom and I know things are tight right now, 49 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: not tighter than Elasta girls. But this all happened because 50 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: she could not agree with a stylist. 51 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: On what makeup she wanted. 52 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: But the final straw came when I found the dress 53 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: of my dreams. Only problem was I was fifteen pounds 54 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: too heavy for it, and I bawled my eyes out 55 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: because I knew this was the dress for me. 56 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: Alasta girl would not have this problem. 57 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: Everyone was encouraging, and I still had plenty of time 58 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: to lose fifteen pounds and come back for a fitting, 59 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: et cetera. 60 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: We can do it. So I agreed and I said 61 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: yes to the dress. 62 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: So when I got home that night, I noticed on 63 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: my sister in law's Instagram that she had posted a 64 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: picture to her Instagram of me in the dress, ugly crying, 65 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: and I was absolutely living. My fiance had already seen 66 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: the Instagram picture and I am devastated. He was not 67 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: supposed to see me in the wedding dress until our 68 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: wedding day and I know so many more people. 69 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: I've seen it. Yes, I could not help myself. 70 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: I called her exploding, adding that she was not going 71 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: to be in my bridal party and that she has 72 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: ruined my wedding. 73 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: Would I think OP already gave her a chance? Yeah? 74 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: Out exact her out. 75 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: My mother in law has called me and told me 76 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: that even though she understands I lacked compassion and have 77 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: severely hurt my sister and lost feelings. 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: She asked if I could find it in my. 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Heart to forgive her, but I told her even if 80 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: I did, I still would not include her in my party. 81 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: So am I the ahole? Who? I mean? I want 82 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: to know what all of y'all think.

I feel the first fumble, I 87 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: think a lot of people would see that as as 88 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: like not just a mishap. You'd have to be so dumb, 89 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: such an idiot. Why would you include someone in your 90 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: wedding party that has literally showed you twice that she's 91 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: trying to sabotage you. 92 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, this is my wedding, Like, Yeah, 93 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: I want to have people in my bridesmaid's party that 94 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: are supporting me, that are like I'm having the time 95 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: of my life with them, like forget even not doing 96 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: anything wrong, like just someone I don't like enjoy anestalie. 97 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to hear your stories from bachelor 98 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: and bachelorette parties. Put it in the commons. But John, 99 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: let's come to this. 100 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Update for further update, my brother called me and wanted 101 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: to have lunch with my mother and sister in law. 102 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: My fiance demanded to go too, so we drove to 103 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: have lunch with them. It was awkward at first because 104 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: no one was speaking, but then my brother spoke up, 105 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: reiterating to me that my sister in law was sorry 106 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: for posting the picture on Instagram and hoping that we 107 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: could all move on from this. When my fiance heard this, 108 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: he asked why my sister in law was not apologizing 109 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: to me directly. It became very intense, and my brother 110 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: and fiance started exchanging pointed words. He referenced my sister 111 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: in law feeling very distraught since a few of my 112 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: bridesmaids had seen the photo and personally attacked her on Instagram, 113 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: and even my mom got involved to try and break 114 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: the rising tension. My fiance pointed out that my sister 115 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: in law had yet directly apologize to me, and that 116 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: if she didn't, he did not want her at the 117 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: wedding at all. He didn't care if my brother was 118 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: absent or not. 119 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: Hey, that's the definition of a good fiance. 120 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: When my mom said we are family and we shouldn't 121 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: act this way towards each other, my fiance once again 122 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: insisted that she give me a face to face apology. 123 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: My sister in law was very stand offish towards him, 124 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: but eventually she apologized to me for what happened. She 125 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: only said, I'm sorry for what happened. I felt this 126 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: was enough, but my fiance demanded she clarified what happened, 127 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: take responsibility for it, and apologize the same way my 128 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: brother did, to which it became an argument over whether 129 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: or not the apology was good enough. Maybe the brothers 130 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: was better because he like kind of laid it out more, 131 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: but you know, the sister in law was just like, 132 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 133 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: I mean, the brother didn't do anything majorly wrong. He's 134 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: apologizing on behalf of the person that did something wrong. 135 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: It'd be like I pushed you in the face, and 136 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm like Riley apologized to say I'm right now as producer. 137 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: Rather do it es two good very. 138 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: Go see if it works now. 139 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: I felt the conversation went nowhere and it became redundant 140 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: and petty, and we ended lunch with what felt like 141 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: no resolution. I talked to my fiance in the car 142 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: that I was okay with her apology, but he disagrees. 143 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: He said, for the sake of peace that he was 144 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: willing to accept less than I deserve. 145 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: I know. 146 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: The woman deserves the most stately apology, the most qually apologies. 147 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: That you've ever seen in all my. 148 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: Mass I really thought that planning a wedding was going 149 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: to be stressful but happy, if that makes sense. But 150 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: this whole ordeal has completely exhausted me and turned me 151 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: off to any further planning. 152 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: There is a final update. 153 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: My sister in law finally said that she absolutely hates me, 154 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: and it all stems there's like no. 155 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: Resolution, right, Yeah, everyone hates each other. 156 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but final update, everyone hates each other at the end, 157 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: and it all stems from me ceasing to further loan 158 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: my brother money after he borrowed forty two thousand dollars 159 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: from me over two and a half year time. 160 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: Frame, with payment to me whatsoever. This came out of nowhere. 161 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: For context, I'm in tech and my fiance is in solar, 162 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: so we live fairly comfortably. My sister in law is 163 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: a stay at home mom, and my brother works at 164 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: a warehouse. His job alone was sometimes not enough to 165 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: cover expenses, and he would often come to me to 166 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: borrow money, which I didn't mind, but when COVID hit, 167 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: it became a regular occurrence for me and my mom 168 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: to be loaning out money to him. 169 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: I don't know how much money my mom is loaned 170 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: to him. 171 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: After my brother got a really steady job with steady income, 172 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: I decided to no longer provide him any additional money 173 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: until he paid down some of his debt to me. 174 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: My sister in law described my decision as a slap 175 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: in the face to my brother and one that made 176 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: them feel like beggars rather than family. You are beggars, 177 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: though I cannot believe this is the reason that she 178 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: doesn't like me. When I told my brother I could 179 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: no longer loan him money. He never expressed any anger 180 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: at my decision, and it felt like he understood. What 181 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: solidified my decision to not include her in my wedding 182 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: at all was when she said that she could see 183 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: where the money was going and re friends to my weight. 184 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: Oh you got forty two grand from her? Shut the 185 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: fuck up.

If I demand my wife abandon 232 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: her career to take care of her daughter, how dare 233 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: you have a job? You know, jobs for women? That's 234 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: My wife and I have a three year old daughter, Alexis, 235 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: cute name. Both of us were and Alexis has attended 236 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: daycare since she was one. In the two years since, 237 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: we've been asked to leave two programs. Because my wife 238 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: is a micromanager, I quickly learned that they can't provide 239 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: personalized care, and after learning from her teachers, I reset 240 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: my expectations. My wife, however, has a lot of anxiety 241 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: and worries about our daughter. She hates when she gets 242 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: even a little upset. She's in therapy and is working 243 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: on it. First program, my wife would constantly watch the 244 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: live feed and call the daycare multiple times a. 245 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Doll there's a live feed, I guess, so it's too 246 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: much you got you gotta let your kid like leave 247 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: the nest? What happened to go on on your bike 248 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: and you know, getting bruises and yeah, butting kids up. 249 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: We had several talks about it, and the school talked 250 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: to us twice. My wife ended up screaming at one 251 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: of the teachers. Oh and then the director. We were 252 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: terminated immediately. Second daycare was a little better because my 253 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: wife began therapy, but my wife was still so nervous 254 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: and had a complaint every single day. Oh my god. 255 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: These were not important things. There were small things like 256 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: she saw another child took a toy away from Alexis 257 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: and she would cry, that's called the real fucking world, Alexis, 258 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: get used to it. It's used to wait. The teacher 259 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: would give the toy back to Alexis, but my wife 260 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: didn't understand why the other child wasn't punished for it. 261 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: What do you want like thirty lashings. This daycare didn't 262 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 2: kick us out, but did eventually suggest that this may 263 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: not be the best program for us. My wife and 264 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: I decided to pull out. If only did that earlier, 265 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: my wife because of her anxiety myself, because I knew 266 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 2: my wife had burn bridges and was becoming one of 267 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: those moms. We chose a smaller home daycare this time, 268 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: as we couldn't afford another center. The woman who owns 269 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: it is very nice but also firm. She stands by 270 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: her boundaries and won't let my wife break any Whereas 271 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: the centers were definitely more accommodating, my wife would take 272 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: any inch she got. This time she doesn't get that opportunity. 273 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: I thought all was well as the owner only speaks 274 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: to my wife for the most part, and then I 275 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: get put in a group text saying my wife has 276 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: been bombarding the owner with texts every single day. Despite 277 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 2: the owner saying she will text her at lunch when 278 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: things are settled, she said at this point she will 279 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: only be responding at specific times of the day and 280 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: not looking the rest. The owner then added several pages 281 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: of the contract with passages highlighted, reminding us of certain 282 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: policies my wife had violated when you were daycare, citing 283 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: your contracts something you're getting fucked. I was pissed. When 284 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: Alexis went to bed that night, my wife and I talked. 285 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: I said this was our last option for daycare if 286 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: it kicked out of every other daycare. The other centers 287 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: are too expensive, and this was the only home daycare 288 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: in the area that we like, and nanny is not 289 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: in our budget. My wife made a million excuses, including 290 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: that it's not her fault that she's anxious. I mean, yeah, 291 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: but it is. I said. If we are asked to 292 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: leave this program too, my wife will be the one 293 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: quitting her job to watch alexis not me. This upset 294 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: my wife, I pointed out. I've spoken to her kindly 295 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: about this plenty of times. I encourage her to keep 296 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: up her therapy, but she can't keep getting us kicked 297 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: out of the programs. My wife is now not speaking 298 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 2: to me. So am I the a hole? I want 299 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: to know from all of you, what do you think? Also, 300 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: have you been I don't even know, like how strict 301 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: these daycare systems are. So if you've been in the 302 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: daycare system, like how accommodating are they? And have you 303 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: pissed off any daycare workers? So yeah, what would you 304 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: do in this situation? Is op the a hole? John? 305 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? Yeah? I think that like someone 306 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: needs to stop this woman. Also, you hired this place 307 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: to do a job to watch your kid. You're watching 308 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: them watch your kid. Literally on the lives of the 309 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: purpose of literally hiring someone like if you're gonna watch 310 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: your kid the whole time, just this is not a 311 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: good parenting move. I'm gonna say it anyway. Walk them 312 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: in the room with the live camera feed and then 313 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: you're doing the same back. Then give them some chickens 314 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: maybe to play with. Yeah, but I think I think 315 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: the real question here is wait, my question wasn't good enough? No? 316 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Sam, that question was good. But the real question, 317 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: you're too stupid. Someone's get the mind. But like is 318 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: I think it's it's not like telling her like, hey, 319 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: you have to stop. It's like it is telling her 320 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: that she will have to quit her job to watch her. 321 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: Is that like too far? 322 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: Is that? Well? On the line there, it's like, hey, 323 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: like this is right. If you keep doing this and 324 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: fucking this up for us, both you're going to be 325 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: the one quitting and they can't afford another one. And 326 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: also it's like you've shown a lot of interest in 327 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: being the person that's going to watch our game. Is true? 328 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: It seems like the thing you want to do is okay, 329 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: why not quit your job do. 330 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: A full time I was hovering on the line, but 331 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: I think you brought me over to not the ahole. 332 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: So not the ale. That's that's our opinion. But we're 333 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: just two guys, you know, with no kids, so childless bastards. 334 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: So for all those kid lovers, that's wrong. For those 335 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: of you who have kids that you brought into this world, 336 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: that's the ones that you stole or I mean ado 337 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: to watch on a live feed.

My mother 393 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: in law looked at me and asked, why you should 394 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: eat It's good for the baby. 395 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 2: The baby loves my mac and cheese.

Please eat my food, it's good for 397 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: your baby. 398 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: And I just went right out with it and said, 399 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I don't like your mac and cheese. 400 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: Everything else tastes delicious, but this is the one thing 401 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: I simply can't eat anymore. She looked so deeply offended, 402 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: and she literally snapped, well, thanks for being honest, and 403 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: didn't even look or speak to me for the rest 404 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: of the evening. 405 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: That's tough. My husband was on my side and tried 406 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: to speak. 407 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: To his mother, but all I know is that it 408 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: didn't work because she has been cold to me ever since. 409 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 2: Damn. Imagine someone's identity being that wrapped up in mac 410 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: and cheese. 411 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: Also, I think we're going to get some more details 412 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: into why this mac and cheese is so stank. 413 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 2: What's wrong with the mac and cheese? You might ask her? 414 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 2: Perfecting the recipe ended up with this result. 415 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: Oh god, oh god, what is it? Mac and cheese 416 00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: combined with salmon, kimchi, pineapple, seaweed salad, collared greens, ons 417 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: and garlic mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is one 418 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: of those rare foods where literally the dish is the 419 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: ingredients are explained. 420 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 2: Mac and cheese. 421 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with the greens or onion, 422 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: but the rest tastes so disgustingly wrong with the. 423 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 2: Mac and cheese, kimchi and salmon. That's weird. 424 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: However, the reason why I think I might have been 425 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: the a hole is because, like my husband said, she 426 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: has been perfecting this recipe for years. 427 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: What does that mean, just adding a new ingredient exactly? 428 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: Her entire family clearly loves it, and I tell her 429 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: that her perfected and loved mac and cheese is terrible? 430 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: Am I the a hole? And there's a quick edit. 431 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: I did tell her because I'm pregnant, it wasn't possible 432 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: for me to stomach the ingredients, but she still didn't 433 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: want to talk to me. 434 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: Another edit, I'm French in my husband's family.

I asked him if 510 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 2: he still wasn't attracted to me, and why I haven't changed. 511 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 2: I'm still me. He apologized and said that he would 512 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: put his sheep together and that he knows how silly 513 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: this is, but he's been wary around me since. I 514 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 2: still think he's turned off by me. But what can 515 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: I do? And there is an update?

What do we 520 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: always say on this show? 521 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: There's got to be red flat, there's always so red flash. 522 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's no way like this IQ test suddenly 523 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: turns this guy into like a raving lunatic. He was 524 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 2: a lunatic much before the moon came out. You know, 525 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: I want to know what you guys would do in 526 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: this situation. But let's get into the updates. Let's do it. 527 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: We're taking a break. Yep, yep, sounds about right. So 528 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: I told my husband that I have had enough. He 529 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: has obviously had a change of heart and I'm not 530 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: going to be there to witness him falling out of 531 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: love with me. The mere thought is painful. He called 532 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: me drama and said that while his reaction was bitter 533 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: and stupid, I'm taking a huge leap and the wrong direction. 534 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 2: How would you know, dummy, since he already acknowledged his 535 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 2: mistake and is working towards being better, I told him 536 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: that it wasn't true. He is still avoiding me. I 537 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: am a leper. I also asked to see his phone. 538 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: Oh just excuse here we go, here we go? 539 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 2: How do we miss that? We Actually he has been 540 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: talking a bit too friendly to a coworker. It started 541 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: immediately after this whole test thing, like he was determined 542 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 2: to hurt me or I don't know what he was 543 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 2: trying to accomplish otherwise. In one of the texts, he 544 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: complained that I was neglectful and full of myself. How 545 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 2: ironic to pretend that I'm the neglectful one when he 546 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: has not even kissed my cheek in over a month. 547 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: You know, hey, if you don't kiss him, someone else is, 548 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: That's right? Not one of us? Maybe Sam? Yeah, I'm single. 549 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: I actually went on a date last night, that's true? 550 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 2: Which post story story? Yes? Sorry boy, will give you 551 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: the thirty details, all right. It felt like it was 552 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: only a matter of time before he would cheat on me, 553 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: and I'm not staying for that, so I asked to 554 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: move out. This morning, he texted me that he loved me, 555 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 2: and then he was so weak. He didn't know what 556 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: he was trying to prove to me or to himself. 557 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 2: But he loves me and finds me very attractive physically, 558 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: just not intellectually. Yeah, of course he has been so 559 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: cold with me, flirting with everyone that looked his way, 560 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: and now he was all loving and affectionate. He wants 561 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: us to try therapy, and he suggested that he needed to 562 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: work on his insecurities with a therapist too. We have 563 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: a daughter together who's eight months old. No, oh no, 564 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 2: that changes things, all changes things that we love more 565 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: than anything. But I don't know. Why does it feel 566 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: like it is over and that I don't trust him anymore? 567 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: I feel like I know now what he's capable of 568 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: when faced with adversity and going through rough patches is 569 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 2: covitable in every marriage. I don't like his method of 570 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 2: dealing with it. This is a great last line. Oh God, 571 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm too intelligent to put up with this damn bro 572 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 2: that final line. Yeah, okay, So like if they were 573 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: married without kids, easy, Like, I feel like he's proven 574 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 2: that he's not worth your time with kids. I feel 575 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: like might be worth seeing if he could repair something. 576 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 2: We love a good divorce chant, you know. But yeah 577 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: we they listen. Hey, guys, I will can't all the 578 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: way to the cows come home till the cows come home. 579 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: And you know, there are a lot of. 580 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: Cows around here, so that's probably by some cows in 581 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: the morning run, that is true, or in Bali by 582 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: the way, But yeah, no, I feel like ultimately, like 583 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: even though there is a child, that doesn't mean that 584 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: she's obligated to stick around, you know. But I totally 585 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, which is like I feel like 586 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: a child there, Like could she sacrifice even more than 587 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: she has up to this point to see if there's 588 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: something that can be done that would But. 589 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: Speaking of I had a date last night, That's true. 590 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: I did.

Ooh, that's 602 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: next story we do. 603 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: My wife tried to make me babysit on my day off, 604 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: so I told her that's your job. 605 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 2: So I walked out on her. 606 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: Am I the a hole? Yeah, walk out on her 607 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: and the baby. Wow, you know what this happened for itself. 608 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: This baby doesn't respect my boundaries of not needing to 609 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: watch it. So I thirty five male, had been married 610 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: to my wife thirty two female, for seven years. We 611 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: have two children together, six male and three female. 612 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 2: Nice. She takes care of the house and baby sits. 613 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: The kids most of the time because she's a stay 614 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: at home mom, but we evenly split chores and childcare 615 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: on weekends when I get home from work. My wife 616 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: is much more social than I am. We move to 617 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: her home state from mine because she wanted to be 618 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: closer to her parents and her childhood friends. Now she's 619 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: a lot more social than I am. 620 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 2: She goes on. 621 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Three to four girls trips a year. I'm happy to 622 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: babysit the kids full time in her absence. Three to 623 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: four girls trips a year. How long are these girls trips? 624 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, a. 625 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: Quarter for three month trips? Yes, honey. When I'm home 626 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: for my four days a year, I do not want 627 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: to see these children. 628 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: I'm exhausted. 629 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm more of a homebody anyway, so I usually just 630 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: like to paint in the spare room or play video 631 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: games every once in a while instead of traveling out 632 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: of state. I don't really take time off work unless 633 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: we do something as a family. For the past three 634 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: or four months, I was very busy on a major 635 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: project at work. I've been working sixty hour weeks, and frankly, 636 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm exhausted with the stress. I kind of feel like, 637 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: with all this extra time he's spending at work, is 638 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: there something else. 639 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 2: That she's doing or he I don't know. We're hearing 640 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: about a lot of girls' trips. We're hearing about a 641 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: lot more work hours for me. Right now, it feels 642 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: like the work stuff is independent from the girls trip. 643 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: But what about sloppy conspiracy theories? That's true, that's what 644 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: about the messy tea? 645 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: What if the work. 646 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Trip is the trip he's taking to the receptionist vagina? Wow, 647 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: you know I was thinking the other way, But now 648 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: we have two conspiracy theories. So when the project was 649 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: finally coming to an end, I told my wife I'm 650 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: taking a day off and I won't be doing any 651 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: work around the house. Of course, I'd still clean up 652 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: after myself, but I didn't want to do any chores 653 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: or do childcare on that one day. I told her 654 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: that two weeks in advance, and she agreed Man's asking 655 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: for one day. How dare he twenty four hours? How 656 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: many seconds? 657 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: Is that? 658 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: At least more than three? I also reminded her three 659 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: days before. Man really wants this day off. He desperately 660 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: needs this day off. However, when that day came, my 661 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: wife just forgot about the agreement. 662 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: What do you mean? 663 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: I was in the painting room and my wife interrupted 664 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: me tell telling me that she needed me to give 665 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: our daughter a bath because she spilt milk all over 666 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: herself and couldn't do it because she had to wash 667 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: the dishes. It was annoying, but whatever, it happens. Later on, 668 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: while I was playing video games, my wife tells me 669 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: our son needs help for his math homework. I asked 670 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: her why can't she help him herself. She said it's 671 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: because she has some work to do. This work was 672 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: actually her best friend coming over and chatting for an hour. 673 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: Man wanted one day, you know, one measley day. You know. 674 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: This really pissed me off. 675 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: So after I helped my son and the best friend left, 676 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: I told my wife I'm leaving the house for four 677 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: to five hours. She asked me where I was going. 678 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: I told her I'm just going to chill in the 679 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: park and do whatever. She said that she needs me 680 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: to help out with the chores and the kids. I 681 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: told her that today was my day off from all work, 682 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: including housework, and it's her job to babysit the kids. 683 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 2: On this day before I left the house. 684 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: When I came back, she was acting cold and calling 685 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: me an a hole for just abandoning her and the kids. 686 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: He asked for one day. He asked me multiple times, two. 687 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: Weeks in advance, three days in advance on the day of, like, and. 688 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: He's getting paid for it. 689 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: Still, I think she's being dramatic. But when I spoke 690 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: to my sister, she said parenting is a twenty four 691 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: to seven jobs. 692 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 2: So am I the ahole? It is a twenty four 693 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 2: to seven job. But I think the great thing about 694 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 2: having two parents is you can give each other breaks 695 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 2: when you feel like you need it exactly. It's not 696 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: like parenting can be mentally exhausted one hundred percent. As 697 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: a parent, I totally know, yeah, but I say it's 698 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: eleven children that a certain privileges. I think he's not 699 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 2: asking for that much. And I don't get what the 700 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: sister's saying. You can ask for a day off if 701 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 2: you feel like it would be good for you. 702 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,239 Speaker 1: And I think, like the big thing here is like 703 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: it was very clearly communicated well in advance, which you know, 704 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: like if he is like wakes up one day, he's like, 705 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm exhausted, I'm dead, I'm doing all this stuff. Would 706 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: you mind it? Like, I think that could be fine 707 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: as well, But that's not what he did. 708 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 2: It was crazy overkill what he did to prepare for 709 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: this single day. Yes, I don't know. I think I 710 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: think the wife is a little bit of the ahold, 711 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: But I would love to know what everyone else thinks, 712 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent? What would you do? 713 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: And also like, if you have kids, what's your parenting style? 714 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: How do you do breaks? 715 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 2: You know? Or do you do breaks? Do you switch 716 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 2: off between one of you managing the kids and the 717 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 2: other managing the kids. I would love to know what 718 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 2: your parenting styles are and how you would approach the situation. 719 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: Put your answers in the comments. 720 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: But Sam, you know what, I never want to break 721 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: from what your sweet lips reading me this next story. 722 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: I will put my sweet lips to this next story. 723 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: Oh god, am I the apple for announcing my wife's 724 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: second pregnancy in front of my sister who can't have 725 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: kids and asked us for money for an IVF treatment. 726 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: Sometimes you just got to rub it in, you know, 727 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 2: like salt in the wound. They say it's good to 728 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 2: put salt in the wind. My wife and I have 729 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 2: a three year old son and we're expecting our second 730 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 2: child next year. Both our children were conceived via IVF. 731 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: We spent years trying for a first with no success, 732 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: and it took four cycles of IVF to have them, 733 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: which that's expensive, like probably forty K could be more. 734 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: It was brutal on my wife. Yeah, yeah, we both 735 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 2: felt like trying for biological children was the way to 736 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 2: go for us. We tried naturally for a second child 737 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 2: after our first turn one, but had zero luck. We 738 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: were left with money for one cycle of IVF, which 739 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 2: we decided to pursue if we didn't have any luck naturally, 740 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: which we didn't. So they're like, okay, let's send it. 741 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 2: Except around a year ago, my wife and I were 742 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: gearing up to start the ball rolling on her IVF 743 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 2: journey when my sister came and asked if she could 744 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: have the money to try IVF herself. My sister has 745 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 2: no biological kids, but does have an eleven year old 746 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: step son. She has endometriosis and PCOS with PCOS. 747 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: Oh, now we have someone to look stuff up for us, Riley, 748 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: Siri or fired. 749 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 2: So no more periods means maybe no more kids. It 750 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: sounds like at least reduced chances, so rouses the chances 751 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 2: of having a child. Yeah, and she has never been 752 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: able to have a child. Her step son is not 753 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 2: very close to her and they've had problems with him 754 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 2: since the start of the marriage. Her step son has 755 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 2: always brought up the fact that his married again too 756 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 2: soon after his mom died, and how my sister is 757 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 2: trying to replace her. 758 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're getting that told to you by an 759 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: eleven year old kid, that. 760 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 2: Ye, dude, they just know how to fucking go after 761 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: your throat. Really though he ran away from home three 762 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 2: times already, we also had the police and Child Protective 763 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 2: Services on their door because he tried to get removed 764 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: from their care. Oh my god, kid is rebelling. Our 765 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 2: main reason for saying no is we wanted to give 766 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 2: her son a sibling. But I can't lie and say. 767 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 2: The dynamic in her home wasn't on my mind too, 768 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 2: and I wasn't sure it was a good idea to 769 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 2: bring a new baby into their home when things are 770 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 2: as bad as they are. 771 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, babies don't solve problems, They just cause more ad 772 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: to it. 773 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 2: We waited for my wife to be far enough along 774 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 2: before announcing our last IVF cycle worked. We did this 775 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 2: at a family dinner. Everyone was happy for us, everyone 776 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 2: except sister and her husband. It is She started making 777 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 2: snarky comments about how it was no big deal we 778 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: already had another kid. I told her, given our struggles, 779 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: it was a big deal. Our parents told her she 780 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: should be happy for us. She then starts ranting and 781 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 2: raving about how selfish we are to deny her motherhood 782 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 2: and deny her and her husband the chance to have 783 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 2: a family together. Our other sister pointed out about her 784 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 2: step son. She told her she's not his mother and 785 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 2: he hates her guts, so it's not like she'll ever 786 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: get any joy out of mother. Oh my god, nuclear, 787 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 2: Jesus nuclear. 788 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: I understand that it's that you know she's going through 789 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: it too, but it's like that is just so obviously 790 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: just say like, hey, I hate that you're having another kid. 791 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, like come on, like I did a little bit. Yeah. 792 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: I told her I was sorry she could not have 793 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 2: a kid of her own, but she didn't get to 794 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: demand we sacrifice a second child for her trills. She 795 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 2: then told me I held her stepson against her. I 796 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: told her I couldn't say that. It hadn't crossed my 797 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 2: mind that bringing a child into what is already a 798 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: complicated mess would be a bad idea, All right, Opie, 799 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: Maybe a little too far. 800 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was beside the point because we wanted another child. 801 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 1: He told me I was an actol for humiliating her 802 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: in front of the whole family and picking a fight 803 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: with her. I told her she picked the fight, not me, 804 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: But I didn't gauge. So am I the a hole? 805 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,959 Speaker 1: I want to know what everyone else thinks? What would 806 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: you do in this situation? But John, what do you think? 807 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: Here's my question? Why do people think babies magically solve problems? 808 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, because it's like it's it's hard to 809 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 2: raise a kid. 810 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: I just want to understand where this like mythical idea, 811 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 1: Like where did it come from? 812 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: I think people that don't have kids are thinking like, 813 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 2: oh my god, it's like like a cute little like 814 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 2: golden retriever.

Yeah, let's go. 842 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: My girlfriend twenty four female and I twenty three male, 843 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: have been together for almost three years now. We get 844 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: along well and didn't fight much, which is why I'm confused. 845 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: Over this situation. Okay, girlfriend lives on her own in 846 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: her own apartment and works full time, whereas I am 847 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: still living with my parents until I finished college. I 848 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: was originally planning on moving in with my girlfriend into 849 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: her apartment once she renews a lease until we had 850 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: her disagreement. 851 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 2: All right, what's the disagreement? What's this relationship ending disagreement? 852 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 2: She said? She only asked that I keep our door closed, 853 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 2: especially at night. What are the secrets? What are you hiding? 854 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: I was understandable about the situation, so when I first 855 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: spent the night over, I made sure to check if 856 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: the closet door was closed while she slept. Why is 857 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: she like afraid of monsters? Maybe months went by and 858 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: there was an instance where I did accidentally forget to 859 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: close it. She'd wake up the next day and ask 860 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: me about it, Hey, did you forget to close the. 861 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 2: Door last night? 862 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: I apologized for it, and she'd say something like, please, 863 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,879 Speaker 1: do not ever forget next time. 864 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 2: Dude. I feel like she's really scared of the dark. 865 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: I had no problem with that at first, though lately 866 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: it's getting pretty annoying. It felt like that's all she 867 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about first thing in the morning every days. 868 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 2: Close the door, Hey babe, how are you doing? I 869 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 2: don't know, open like the door. 870 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: I voiced my feelings on it one day, and she 871 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: just responded by saying, well, then just please close the door. 872 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 2: It's not that hard. I sometimes deal with sleep paralysis. 873 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: I got irritated by that because it just felt like 874 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 1: she wanted a reason to nagamy. 875 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 2: One day I went over to visit her. I decided 876 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 2: to purposely leave that closet door. Wow. Wow, OPI chose 877 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 2: a violence. He woke up and chose he chose? The 878 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 2: demon said, I left it. 879 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: Open while she slept in her bed, and while I 880 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: slept on the living room couch, and I just wanted 881 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,280 Speaker 1: to see what would happen. I assumed nothing happened because 882 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything. However, next day, when I woke up, 883 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: she was sitting at the kitchen table, looking like she 884 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 1: had been trying her eyes out. 885 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: They were really puffy to the sleep paralysis. Demon did 886 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 2: something naughty. 887 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: Before I could even say a word, she said, I 888 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: have told you so many times that I wanted that 889 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: closet door closed. It's all I've ever asked of you, 890 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: and you can't even do that. 891 00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 2: Here's where I might be the A. 892 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: I got angry that she was already nagging me about 893 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: this first thing in the morning. So I told her 894 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: that she's a grown woman and she can't rely on 895 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: dumb stickers to help her over something that happened to 896 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: her years ago, and she needed. 897 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 2: To get over it. Wait what happened? Okay? Yeah, this 898 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 2: is there's something more under a lot more that could 899 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: happened in two thousand and one, when Monsters Ink was released, 900 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 2: she told me to leave, so I did because I 901 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:22,959 Speaker 2: was mad. 902 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: It's been a week since then and I haven't heard 903 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: anything from her. I don't want to break up over this, 904 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: but I want to know if what I said was wrong. 905 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: My parents and friends are just saying my girlfriend is 906 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: being dramatic, but I want some unbiased opinions on this subject. 907 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 2: I want to know what the what is the thing 908 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 2: that happened? 909 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so there is an edit where I don't think. 910 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to predict it. Actually, what 911 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: is your do you want to make a prediction? 912 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 2: I'm assuming monsters inc at it. 913 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: I want to clarify that my girlfriend never leaves the 914 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: closet door open. I would go in and get something 915 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: out and would occasionally forget to close the door. The 916 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: door also makes an unbearable speaking noise when you're. 917 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:00,760 Speaker 2: Trying to close it. We have a quick comment. 918 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: She told me that a homeless man snuck into her parents' 919 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: home and hid in her closet, and when she woke up, 920 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: she could see his eyes in the dark staring at her. 921 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 2: That is terrifying. 922 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I think opc he was thankfully arrested and 923 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: nothing beyond that happened to her. And there's one final update. 924 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: My now X and I were together for two years, 925 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: would have been three years next month. 926 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 2: They broke up because the man could not close the closet. 927 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 2: But it's like like so many things. 928 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so much there's so much air, there's so 929 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 1: much always a closet. 930 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 2: Door, but there's just always there's always so much more. Yeah, man, 931 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 2: I mean it sounds like op was a little bit inconsiderate, 932 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 2: but it also sounds like the girlfriend was very sensitive 933 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 2: to this small thing rightfully so though, Like I mean, 934 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 2: imagine when she was a kid. So it's like trauma unresolved. Yeah, 935 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 2: it's just yeah, that is so crazy. My BFF told 936 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 2: me that being too tired to go to our birthday 937 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 2: wasn't an excuse, so I clapped back. But now I 938 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 2: think I took it too far. 939 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: Depends on what kind of clap are we talking about. 940 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: Are we clapping them in the face with your hands, 941 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: you know? Are you clapping with the best friend's significant other? 942 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 2: Yes? And I think give them all clap four them 943 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 2: and give them the clap and clap back. So I 944 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 2: thirty five female, have two children, five male and three female, 945 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 2: and a baby who was only sixteen weeks old. My 946 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 2: first two pregnancies gone quite smoothly, a few bumps along 947 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 2: the way, but not many problems. My third pregnancy was 948 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: really tough. I got diagnosed with pre clampsia, put to 949 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 2: bed rest for six weeks, and had an emergency C 950 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 2: section during with both me and the baby almost died. 951 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,919 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's an awful intense period of time. 952 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 2: I stayed in the hospital for longer than two weeks, 953 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 2: but I was deemed healthy enough to be released. My 954 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: husband has been beside me in the delivery room all 955 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 2: three times and does most of the chores and takes 956 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 2: care of the cause kids while I recover and make 957 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 2: sure I have everything I need. We have saved more 958 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 2: than enough money from both of our jobs to have 959 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 2: the ability to afford to stay at home for as 960 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 2: long as needed, which is nice.

Our birthday party was 983 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 2: scheduled at three pm, and I was supposed to I 984 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 2: have a two thirty PM. I waited until two pm 985 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 2: because I knew how important her birthday is and I 986 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 2: was hoping that I would feel good enough to come over. 987 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 2: But then I told her that, hey, I'm sorry, but 988 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 2: I'm afraid I won't be able to come to your 989 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 2: birthday party because I'm not feeling well. She asked what 990 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 2: was wrong, and I told her I was extremely exhausted 991 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 2: and there was no way I could be at her party. 992 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 2: I literally heard her sigh and angrily, she said, but 993 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 2: what about our promise, our best friend promise. I broke 994 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 2: my arm while racing, and I still traveled one thousand 995 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 2: miles for your birthday. But you can't drive twenty miles 996 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 2: to see me. If you're a fat ass and reach 997 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 2: a grocery store, then you would come here if you 998 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 2: actually cared. She said that. She said that no. That's 999 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: when I became mad and told her, well, if you 1000 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 2: had kids, you would understand, and that's when she said 1001 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 2: fuck you and hung out that was the entire conversation. 1002 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 2: You might think, what's so bad about saying if you 1003 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 2: had kids, actually can't get pregnant due to an incident 1004 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 2: that happened during our younger college days and the topic 1005 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: is extremely sensitive to her, so me saying that was 1006 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 2: extremely vile. This morning, I woke up feeling much better, 1007 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 2: and I attempted to contact Ashley so I could apologize, 1008 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 2: but she wouldn't pick up and ignored my text messages. 1009 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 2: My husband said that I shouldn't apologize because if she 1010 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 2: was a real friend, she would have shown concern and 1011 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 2: worry instead of anger and attitude of a brat. So 1012 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 2: she deserved my comeback. But I feel so guilty for 1013 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 2: bringing up her inability to have kids, and I feel 1014 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 2: like such an asshole for doing so. So am I 1015 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 2: the a whole? 1016 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm very curious to know what you guys 1017 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: think of a whole or not. But so basically the 1018 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,840 Speaker 1: rundown of events was like she was feeling really exhausted 1019 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: after all of this, like literally almost died. 1020 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: I mean, breaking an arm is not death. Come on. Yeah, 1021 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 2: and not only her but also her child an emotional 1022 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 2: roller coaster, and you know, like the clap back of 1023 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,240 Speaker 2: like if you had kids, you would understand. Rough but true, 1024 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 2: like your priorities changed when you have kids. 1025 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: If she had said that and her friend didn't have 1026 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: her situation, I would have been like, yeah, like literally 1027 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 1: nowhere near being the a hole, right. 1028 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 2: And it's not like saying you'll never understand because you 1029 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 2: can't have kids. That's different saying if you had kids 1030 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 2: you would understand. It's still a little bit of a 1031 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 2: dick move. 1032 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: The best friend is being so massively unempathetic to Ope's 1033 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: current situation. She's gone through this like massively awfully horrific 1034 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 1: event and she wants to rest please. I would tell 1035 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: her preemptively, like stay home. They can celebrate together at 1036 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 1: a different time too. But maybe that's what Ope could 1037 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: have said to make it a little bit better. It's like, hey, 1038 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: I would love to celebrate you know another time. Just 1039 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: today it's like been really rough for me. Ope totally 1040 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,359 Speaker 1: could have worded it differently, But I understand that kind 1041 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: of like guttural knee jerk reaction after being like so 1042 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 1: viciously attacked for like something that you don't deserve to 1043 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: be attacked for at all. So I'm personally going not 1044 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: the A whole, but I want to know what you 1045 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 1: all think in the comments. 1046 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 2: I would love to know what everyone else think. And also, 1047 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 2: what would you do for your best friend? 1048 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 1: Cute best friends stories? Cute best friend stories? 1049 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 2: What is the most amount of adversity you've faced but 1050 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 2: still gone to hang out with your best friend? Should 1051 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 2: we get into this next story? Let's do it. 1052 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: My sister wants me to move my wedding because she 1053 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: can't find a babysitter. 1054 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 2: I don't want to, am I the A whole? Move 1055 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 2: your wedding. Yeah, consult everyone who's at give them a 1056 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 2: when to meet, and then make sure that you schedule 1057 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 2: it according to their free time. 1058 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: We just need a fifteen minute window that works for 1059 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: all three hundred people. We got to be accommodating, right, 1060 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: easy enough, exactly. I female twenty four, am getting married 1061 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: to my fiance, male twenty six in October this year. Congrats. 1062 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: We got engaged in January and couldn't be more excited. 1063 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: It's a very small wedding and we're inviting only close 1064 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: family and friends. The problem is my sister, Lisa, female thirty. 1065 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: Fuck you Lisa, Yeah, fuck you Lisa, saying a single 1066 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 1: Lisa has a two year old son with her husband. 1067 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't have a super affectionate relationship with Lisa for 1068 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: multiple reasons that I can't fit into this post. We 1069 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: send out the wedding invites last month. Our wedding ceremonies 1070 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: starts at one thirty PM, and we asked our guests 1071 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: to please arrive at the venue by one o'clock sharp. 1072 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: The venue is in our hometown, so it's close by 1073 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: the majority of people on our guest list, including Lisa. 1074 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 1: Lisa told me that that time wouldn't work because of 1075 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: her two year olds nap schedule. 1076 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 2: You should not schedule anything according to your two years 1077 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 2: That's called good parenting. Yeah, exactly. 1078 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: Hey, buddy, I know you really need food right now, 1079 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: but daddy's got a zoom meeting. 1080 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 2: Daddy's got a cheat on your mom. Daddy has need. 1081 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 2: It's Samuel Donner with his eleven children. Your mother and 1082 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 2: I are going our separate ways. But she doesn't know. God, 1083 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to be known for. 1084 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 1: That, that's your new calling card. She said that he 1085 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: takes a nap at twelve and that she is not 1086 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: forcing him to be awake so she can get him 1087 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 1: ready for an event, or he will be a terror. 1088 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't have kids, but I thought this was a 1089 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: silly reason. I asked Lisa if she could find a babysitter, 1090 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: and she said that she can't because everyone that she. 1091 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 2: Trusts will be at the wedding. 1092 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: I suggested that they at least attend the reception, but 1093 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: she said that she won't if she can't. 1094 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 2: Be at the wedding. Your two year old to not 1095 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 2: dictate your life. Literally, just like put that thing in 1096 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 2: her room and go to the wedding. 1097 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,840 Speaker 1: Once again, excellent parenting advice from Sam. It's what the 1098 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: people need. The Nobel Piece Prize for Parenting goes to 1099 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 1: She told me that she won't attend a wedding unless 1100 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: we change a time, so I told her that can't 1101 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 1: do that. I was quite hurt by this. I wasn't 1102 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: sure how to react in the moment, so I just 1103 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: abruptly ended the conversation with an excuse. A few days later, 1104 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: Lisa asked me if I thought about her suggestion. 1105 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,760 Speaker 2: God, girl, what are you doing moving your entire wedding. 1106 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 2: That's not a suggestion, that's fucking crazy maniac. I reminded 1107 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 2: her that there's no way we can change the time. 1108 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 2: She told me that she hopes I'm happy that they 1109 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 2: aren't attending, and said that everyone is going to ask 1110 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 2: why she's not there, and it's all because I can't 1111 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 2: accommodate my nephew. You think that more people will ask 1112 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 2: why she's not there? Then why you moved an entire wedding. 1113 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: Oh hey, like we're moving the time. Oh hey, no worries. 1114 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,840 Speaker 1: I hope everything's okay. It's like, oh yeah, it's my 1115 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,439 Speaker 1: nephew's naf time. It'll be like, what excuse me? That's 1116 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: a crazy ask, asshole, ask for sure. 1117 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,240 Speaker 2: And your own sister. 1118 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: I could see some Karen who's like, you know, five 1119 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: cousins down the line, like. 1120 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 2: Move your wedding for my nephew, But this is your sister. Ridiculous. 1121 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: God, she called me bridezilla and has walcked me. Oh 1122 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: my god, my mom is pestering me to make amends 1123 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: with Lisa. But I just don't think I am in 1124 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: the wrong. This beel is pretty clear cut.

They've put so much effort, bloodsweed 1133 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: and tears into planning, and then you come along with 1134 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: this bullshit. 1135 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, like, let me enjoy my wedding, please.

I have no idea. 1140 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: Also, what is the most insane requests that people have 1141 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: made for. 1142 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 2: You at your wedding? 1143 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 1: I am actively sabotaging my company because my. 1144 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 2: Boss is a freaking moron. I hope they fire me. Well, 1145 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 2: this is petty, and I don't care. I've worked at 1146 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 2: a company for two years. In that time, I've gone 1147 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 2: from an incredible asset to the company to babysitter out. 1148 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 2: I wish I was joking. This company is owned by 1149 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,720 Speaker 2: several people, but managed by a relative to the higher ups. 1150 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 2: A guy who has never worked for anyone excecuse, mommy, 1151 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 2: owes the company? Pay me, mommy? I want to wait. 1152 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 2: He's the guy who was incapable of doing anything himself, 1153 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 2: someone who will one day take over the company, who 1154 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 2: currently can't even figure out Bluetooth. That's pretty sad. That's sad. 1155 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 2: Moron would be a compliment. You think I'm being harsh 1156 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 2: on my boss or exaggerating. I wish, I wish I 1157 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 2: was being dramatic. But this is Reddit, where there is 1158 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 2: never drama. That's right. Last phone call I had from 1159 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 2: him was him asking where he was. No, I'm serious. 1160 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 2: Here's a quote. Ope, I'm driving, Where am I? He 1161 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,840 Speaker 2: asked me to track his phone, find his location, and 1162 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 2: see if I can find a store near him that 1163 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 2: sells a certain item. He can't. Oh, you can't remember 1164 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 2: the name of the store either or where it is exactly. 1165 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 2: And then I am the GPS voice navigating him, using 1166 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 2: the phone tracker to tell him where to turn. This 1167 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 2: is my life. Fifty plus phone calls a day from 1168 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,879 Speaker 2: that man. Sheeese, Ope, did you get my email?

I've been transitioned 1177 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: into his personal assistant role, even though I did not 1178 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 1: want it at all, to the point where I'm currently 1179 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 1: searching for a new job. The company is bleeding money. 1180 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: Boss is supposed to be figuring out why, but this 1181 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 2: guy can't even pour himself a cup of coffee from 1182 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 2: a machine we've had for six years. In my day 1183 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 2: to day, I also assist other departments. I have access 1184 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 2: to various software. I work alongside multiple managers and assist 1185 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,439 Speaker 2: with their projects as well. When I'm not being asked 1186 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,759 Speaker 2: to identify the brand of sock the boss's wearing so 1187 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 2: he can figure out where to buy more and have 1188 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 2: be called to have them set aside a package for 1189 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,280 Speaker 2: me so I don't have to walk through the store 1190 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 2: looking for theselike an idiot. Based on my observations, I 1191 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,439 Speaker 2: found several problems that are costing us money, either by 1192 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 2: purchasing distribution or just a general lack of adequate price adjustments. 1193 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 2: Some were serious enough that I even spoke to a 1194 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 2: different department manager who was impressed and took me to 1195 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 2: the CEO to ask if I can be moved to 1196 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 2: their department to help fix some of the identify problems. 1197 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 2: The CEO is the boss's mother, Sweet old nepotism baby. 1198 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 2: I get told that I am not allowed to transfer, 1199 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 2: that I am far too valuable a personal assistant to 1200 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 2: be shared with other departments that boss will handle and 1201 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 2: oversee the changes that need to be made. Manager and 1202 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 2: I were stunned. Turns out mother wants to step away 1203 00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 2: from the company and wants this boss to run it. 1204 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 2: Igno competent guy that can't even use Google Maps. Oh 1205 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,720 Speaker 2: my god, that boss. 1206 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: Just needs more projects to work on to get a 1207 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 1: better understanding of how to run the company. Yeah, let's 1208 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: give him more things that he'll never understand. We just 1209 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 1: need to train him on how to find socks. 1210 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 2: So the boss gets called in and told that I 1211 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 2: identified several issues. Then the boss needs to get resolved. 1212 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 2: Boss then gets mad at mother, telling her she doesn't 1213 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 2: have time to do that. Mother says she understands, and 1214 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:37,760 Speaker 2: he is a that we busy. Boh my god, again, 1215 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 2: I'm not joking. Sitcoms can't even write this kind of 1216 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 2: Boss later calls me into his office and tells me 1217 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 2: that I'm going to work on fixing all of these issues, 1218 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,719 Speaker 2: but that I'm going to give all my notes, tell 1219 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 2: him how I fixed it, and he will present it 1220 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 2: to the board. So it just sounds like, oh, he 1221 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 2: is now running the company, but not being paid to 1222 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,760 Speaker 2: do it and not giving being given the title. 1223 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: But now that you have co roll of the beer 1224 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 1: wheel of the ship, could you just shoot a hole 1225 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: on the floor. 1226 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 2: What you have is with the boys in the biz 1227 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 2: called leverage. Oh god, leve my rich and you can't hear. 1228 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,400 Speaker 2: Boss then proceeds to leave for the day, calling me 1229 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 2: later to ask what kind of mustard was the mustard 1230 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 2: he liked most on his Deli sandwiches. Stop it, get 1231 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 2: some help. 1232 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: He then proceeded to lecture me on mustard because the 1233 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 1: answer I gave him was obviously not the right kind 1234 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,320 Speaker 1: of mustard. 1235 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,359 Speaker 2: And then I need to pay more attention to things 1236 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 2: like that. 1237 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,399 Speaker 1: That's the kind of attitude we needed this company. That's 1238 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 1: the right kind of mustard. 1239 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,799 Speaker 2: You go joking? I hung up the phone. It picked 1240 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 2: up all my notes on this bleeding money situation slash 1241 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 2: project and proceeded to shred them. I hope I get 1242 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 2: fired and John, there is an update. I want to 1243 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 2: know what you think. I want to know what the 1244 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 2: audience thinks. But personally, I would steer the ship. 1245 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: A little bit longer to have the ability to sabotage 1246 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 1: and to not do it, you know, for some financial incentive. 1247 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,120 Speaker 1: Here's what I'm thinking, though, continuing to deal with this 1248 00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,879 Speaker 1: for any more amount of time. What OP is doing 1249 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:05,800 Speaker 1: right now is if OP gets themselves fired, almost certainly, 1250 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: especially at this level of the company, they're getting a 1251 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,319 Speaker 1: severance package. So A, you get to stop dealing with 1252 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,359 Speaker 1: this BS, and B you get immediately paid for it. 1253 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 2: Definitely a lesser bag. Well, but if you get fired, 1254 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 2: you sometimes don't get severance if it's with cause. 1255 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,240 Speaker 1: That Oh that's a good point. 1256 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So let's get into this up. Let's get 1257 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 2: these bags. Despite a few interviews, I am still in 1258 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,439 Speaker 2: this god forsaken shit. 1259 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:31,280 Speaker 1: Old God. 1260 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 2: You may be wondering, so OP, did you get fired 1261 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:38,439 Speaker 2: for shredding the project notes? Nope, lectured, Yes, got told 1262 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 2: I was in disappointments. Also, yes, things that have happened 1263 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 2: since then. Boss has determined that fixing these issues isn't 1264 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 2: actually that important after all, and that me shredding the 1265 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 2: documents was it a huge loss. Ross proceeded to inform 1266 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 2: me that I was looking for problems and that I 1267 00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:57,240 Speaker 2: should keep my nose clean regarding company matters aka stop 1268 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 2: trying to find things that are wrong that he would 1269 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 2: have to fix its Like, don't me, don't worry about it. 1270 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 2: We like, like, chill your harsh about Nollo, bro.

I don't get paid enough for this shit. 1276 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 2: That's it gets a smart move. I've realized I can't 1277 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 2: get fired at this point, not because it's impossible because 1278 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 2: the funds aren't there to do severance. I'd even be 1279 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 2: warned that our paychecks might bounce next week and that 1280 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 2: they will be writing a manual checks that we can 1281 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 2: take to the bank teller and have them check if 1282 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 2: there is enough money before we have them.

The boss says he hates with 1287 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 2: enough supply for the next year, so they can't justify 1288 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 2: buying more. Wait, what had the boys from the shop 1289 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 2: string up his office chair from the over head crane? 1290 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 2: Like put his office chair on a crane?

Destroyed my notes for fixing the inventory system, 1295 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 2: which has been neglected for fifteen years, and I reorganized 1296 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 2: it to a functional point. This was deemed not necessary, 1297 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 2: so I removed all my work and shreded those documents too. Wow. 1298 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 2: I listened to music all day or podcast despite the 1299 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 2: policy against it.

He told me his wife and I 1328 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 2: I do not get on. 1329 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: She attended university with us, and we had our fair 1330 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: share of fights then and rather a large fuss some 1331 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: five odd years ago. 1332 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 2: We live on opposite sides of our country and. 1333 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Only see each other a couple of times a year, 1334 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 1: if that for special occasions like other friend's weddings. His 1335 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,720 Speaker 1: wife and I can be generally cordial now, but mostly. 1336 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 2: Avoid and ignore one another. What's so wrong with his 1337 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 2: other wife? I want to know. I'm not sure, but 1338 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,920 Speaker 2: I have to imagine that the tea will be spilt. 1339 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,439 Speaker 2: I want the tea to be tea is just like 1340 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 2: it was, like hot wax dripping down my ansle, glazing 1341 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 2: your assle. 1342 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,320 Speaker 1: They got married around four years ago, and I was 1343 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 1: not invited to their wedding. 1344 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So that's okay, So the beef is on both sides. 1345 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 1: My friend told me, in no uncertain terms that he 1346 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 1: wanted me there but his wife did not, and that 1347 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 1: he chose to respect her wishes on her big day. 1348 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 2: It's two people's big day. How close friend is ope 1349 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 2: with this friend? 1350 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're absolute best friends, but like 1351 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 1: friends from university sounds a pretty Even if you weren't 1352 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: like absolute, like like number one friend, that's still a 1353 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 1: decent bond. 1354 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, but to not invite that person 1355 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 2: to your wedding, like how good of a friend could 1356 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 2: they be? Or how big of a cock are you? 1357 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Exactly? That's true booty hole glazed with wax la. I mean, 1358 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 1: just like completely dominated. I was disappointed, but understanding, and 1359 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 1: I never let it affect our friendship. I was having 1360 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: a big wedding and all guests with spouses, fiances and 1361 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 1: serious girlfriends and boyfriends all getting plus ones except for 1362 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 1: said friend. 1363 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 2: So now we're going tit for tat. Well, no, tit 1364 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 2: for tat would be like not inviting him to your 1365 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,800 Speaker 2: wedding at all. He didn't invite you to yours exactly. 1366 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't like, oh you can't have a plus one. 1367 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 1: It's like you can't be here, period. 1368 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 2: He's already already doing to him a favor. 1369 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: Good point. It is not a numbers issue. I simply 1370 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 1: do not want his wife and attendance. I have considered 1371 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 1: the likelihood that my friend will RSVP not given the 1372 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 1: lack of a plus one, But. 1373 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 2: I am okay with this outcome. I have no intention 1374 01:01:59,360 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 2: of telling. 1375 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 1: Him ahead of time that most others are getting a 1376 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 1: plus one, but I'm aware that he is most likely 1377 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,080 Speaker 1: going to find out. My fiance and I obviously discussed 1378 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: this matter, and she is fully supportive of this decision. 1379 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 2: That's good. That's good. If the fiance's on board, that's 1380 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 2: a you know, that's one for the team. One hundred 1381 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 2: percent agree. 1382 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 1: Other friends that I've spoken to tell me that I'm 1383 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 1: being ruthless and basically should not have even invited my 1384 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 1: friend if I wasn't going to give him a plus 1385 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 1: one for his wife. 1386 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,919 Speaker 2: So am I the a whole? 1387 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: There is an edit where we learn the origin story 1388 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 1: of the beef, but I would love to see in 1389 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 1: the comments right now, ahole or not as of this? 1390 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 1: But Sam, what are you thinking? 1391 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 2: I mean, do those friends know the context? Like, do 1392 01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 2: they know that the wife specifically made it so that 1393 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 2: he couldn't attend his friend's wedding at all? 1394 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: And there's this thing we're about to find out that 1395 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 1: the wife did do they know that as well. 1396 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,760 Speaker 2: Again, I think it's your wedding. You could do whatever 1397 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 2: you want. And it's like she probably wouldn't want to 1398 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,440 Speaker 2: come anyway. But even if she did come, would it 1399 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 2: really ruined things. There's enough beef where it would ruin things. 1400 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 2: It depends on our past. I think. I don't think 1401 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 2: OP owes the wife anything. Absolutely owes the wife nothing. 1402 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 1: I do wonder like the friends were saying, like, oh, 1403 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 1: you should have just not even sent him the invite 1404 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 1: versus sending them the invite without the plus one. 1405 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,560 Speaker 2: Why no, But he wants to invite his friend. Ye, 1406 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 2: then he's just doing what his friend did to him, 1407 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 2: which I think is more of an apple move. Yeah, 1408 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 2: although if it's a good friend, then maybe this isn't 1409 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 2: just a good friend. If I had that situation, what 1410 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 2: I would have said, it's like, hey, I want you 1411 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 2: to come, but like I don't want your wife to come. 1412 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,800 Speaker 1: I think that is that's the most reasonable thing to do. 1413 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: OP is kind of like doing it biomission and just 1414 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: like here's your invite. 1415 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:38,800 Speaker 2: That's it. I don't think that's a bad thing. 1416 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: But let's get into this edit with the sweet beef. 1417 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,440 Speaker 1: Let's get this beef sizzling. Since a lot of you 1418 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 1: are talking about the fuss, I will give a little 1419 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: bit more context. She my friend's wife, cheated on my 1420 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 1: friend at university. 1421 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 2: They broke up. 1422 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 1: I was not as warmed to her afterwards, but not 1423 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,920 Speaker 1: outwardly mean. She wanted him back. He asked for advice, 1424 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 1: and I said, don't do it. D good advice. 1425 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,960 Speaker 2: I'm not getting good vibes from her. She sucks. 1426 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 1: He took her back anyways, obviously his right to do so, 1427 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,680 Speaker 1: but I remained more distant from her. Not sure if 1428 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 1: my friend told her that I advised them that they 1429 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 1: remained broken up, to which I would not be surprised. 1430 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 2: Probably. Yeah, it sounds like if you're in a relationship 1431 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 2: like I would assume, I would say most unless someone 1432 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,280 Speaker 2: explicitly says don't tell your partner or whatever, I would 1433 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 2: assume that, like you share most things. 1434 01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: In the relationship, Yeah, one hundred percent. Or if it 1435 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 1: was just me not being as friendly. But she turned 1436 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:41,120 Speaker 1: nasty on me, nastier than a three day old curdled glaze. 1437 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 2: Five years ago. 1438 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 1: I called her out for her bitchy behavior after she 1439 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 1: hurt me with multiple rude comments. 1440 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 2: Alcohol was involved. 1441 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 1: And I admittedly could have handled the situation with morphinesse. 1442 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,840 Speaker 1: Our interaction ruined a wonderful evening. Once we sobered up 1443 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 1: the following day, I apologize for my part, and I 1444 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 1: expected to say in return. Instead, she not only refused 1445 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,400 Speaker 1: to apologize or accept any blame, but she also entirely 1446 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 1: rejected my apology. Oh okay, So I feel like we've 1447 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,439 Speaker 1: gotten a pretty good picture here. 1448 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 2: I think, Op, he's. 1449 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 1: Not the egle a million percent. Like everything we learned 1450 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:20,240 Speaker 1: made the wife more and more. 1451 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 2: Than She is a cheating dirt bag yep, and deserves 1452 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 2: to be taken out with dirt. That is true, you know, 1453 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,200 Speaker 2: put it in the dump where she belongs. I feel 1454 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 2: like the friend sounds like a cork. Yeah, Like I 1455 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 2: mean the fact that she cheated on him and he 1456 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,000 Speaker 2: still stayed with her, and then that she said no, 1457 01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 2: you can't invite your friend, Yeah he did. It sounds 1458 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 2: like he's he's whipped to the max. He's just ball 1459 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 2: in chain. 1460 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 1: Oh please, darling, please let me invite my friend. No, 1461 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,040 Speaker 1: oh please, Darling, don't cheat on me. 1462 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,800 Speaker 2: I will and you will watch. Yeah, you'll love a watch. 1463 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 2: I love watching me with everyone. Thank you for ruining 1464 01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 2: my life. But I would love to hear stories of 1465 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 2: you being a cock that too. Have you been packed? 1466 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 2: Have you been a click? 1467 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, could you just bawl and gag me 1468 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 1: with this next story? 1469 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 2: I will, I will, I will. First let me let 1470 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 2: me glaze you up, though, drip it. I refuse to 1471 01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 2: watch my son's kids because they're not my responsibility. But 1472 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 2: now he's taking it too far. I mean, how far 1473 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 2: are we taken? As far as you can murder? I 1474 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 2: seventy one female. Oo, so grainy have a son thirty 1475 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 2: nine male, whose wife thirty six female, gave birth to 1476 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 2: their fourth child nine months ago. All of her births 1477 01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 2: have taken a long time, and she has been induced 1478 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 2: the last two times, including this one. My husband seventy 1479 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 2: two male, and I were babysitting the three older kids, 1480 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 2: five male, four female, and two females. She was induced 1481 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 2: at eight in the morning, and by one in the 1482 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 2: afternoon there was not much progress, if any at all. Wow, yikes. 1483 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 2: Since the kids are a handful, I told my son 1484 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 2: he needed to come home to help for a few hours. 1485 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,720 Speaker 2: Says it looked like it would take a really long time. 1486 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 2: Because girl knows how to be in labor for a while. Yep. 1487 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,480 Speaker 2: Since they live half an hour away from the hospital, 1488 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 2: he could go back if anything happened, so it's not 1489 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 2: like he wouldn't be present when the child was born, 1490 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 2: which I, of course understand is a big moment for 1491 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 2: him and his wife. 1492 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand a little bit, but like, I don't know, 1493 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm kind of siding with the sun. 1494 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry, right now, I'm siding with the son. 1495 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,919 Speaker 2: It's like I would want to be there with my wife. Yeah. 1496 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: And also like you've been watching them for I guess 1497 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:32,440 Speaker 1: just the beginning of the day, Like. 1498 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, how hard is it? Really? Like, I think asking 1499 01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,919 Speaker 2: your parents to watch your kids for a day while 1500 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 2: your wife is in labor isn't a crazy thing that 1501 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 2: the weirdest regrest Ever, my son took a great defense 1502 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 2: to my request and told me to suck it up, 1503 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 2: bribe the kids with treats. I don't given her MyPad 1504 01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,280 Speaker 2: or something whatever worked for us, and that there was 1505 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,760 Speaker 2: no way he could leave his wife's side unless it 1506 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,960 Speaker 2: was an emergency with one of the kids, like they 1507 01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 2: were admitted to a hospital or something. I told him 1508 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 2: the kids were their responsibility and that they couldn't expect 1509 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 2: us to babysit around the clock if this took days. 1510 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 2: He told me we should not have said yes to 1511 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 2: babysit at all if we wouldn't stick it out, since 1512 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 2: one never knows how long birth will take, but that 1513 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 2: he would get someone to come, and then he hung up. 1514 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 2: Three hours later, someone showed up and we went home. 1515 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,720 Speaker 2: We offered a babysit for a few hours the next day, 1516 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,679 Speaker 2: but our offer was declined because the people who came 1517 01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,360 Speaker 2: to relieve us stayed until the baby was born and 1518 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 2: my son came home. After this, they have not asked 1519 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 2: us to babysit once and has hired a sitter instead, 1520 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,680 Speaker 2: which we feel is a waste of money since we 1521 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 2: are available for free, but only for a couple hours, only. 1522 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,599 Speaker 1: One or two hours max. Here book book of time 1523 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,679 Speaker 1: on my calendar. I'm a pretty busy schedule, so they're 1524 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 1: probably retired. We get to see the grandkids if we 1525 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,120 Speaker 1: visit them, but they very seldom visit us compared to before. 1526 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you complained about looking after the kids when 1527 01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 1: your son's wife was in labor, Like, what do you expect? 1528 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 1: I tried talking to both my son and daughter in law, 1529 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: but they said they felt we didn't respect them at 1530 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 1: all since we wouldn't even let her give birth in peace. 1531 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 1: My husband and I agree that they are overreacting since 1532 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,559 Speaker 1: she did not, in fact give birth until seven the 1533 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,479 Speaker 1: next morning, twenty three hours after being induced, and our 1534 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 1: son could have easily helped us with the kids for 1535 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 1: a few hours. 1536 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 2: All right, bro, how do you know? It's not like 1537 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 2: this woman is like having a walk in the park 1538 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,040 Speaker 2: and getting a massage for twenty four hours. She's literally 1539 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,439 Speaker 2: giving birth for twenty four hours. That is probably one 1540 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,880 Speaker 2: of the most difficult twenty four hours you could have. 1541 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: Literally, And how is she so commid to like, oh, 1542 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 1: we know that the baby's not going to be born 1543 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,360 Speaker 1: in this time. When not, it's like you actually have 1544 01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,280 Speaker 1: no life. Maybe something happens and they start and they 1545 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 1: like it go. 1546 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know who knows? Yeah, this is ridiculous. So 1547 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,800 Speaker 2: am I the apple? Like my son says, I am 1548 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 2: for helping us with the kids even if his wife 1549 01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 2: was being induced, but have little to no progress. I 1550 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 2: want to know what all of you think. Yeah, this 1551 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 2: seems cut and clear, but John, what are your thoughts? 1552 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 2: There's a little bit of an edit the ahole, Like, 1553 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 2: how do you not go to support? 1554 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 1: And here's my thing too, you've literally watched them for 1555 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 1: like part of a day. I don't know about you, 1556 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,600 Speaker 1: but whenever I would go to visit my grandparents, it 1557 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 1: would be like several days a week, we're hanging out, 1558 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 1: We're going to the park, we're getting ice cream, or 1559 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,959 Speaker 1: we're doing our own thing, like playing with toys, watch exactly, 1560 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Like it's not that crazy of a thing. 1561 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,760 Speaker 2: So, yeah, it seems a little ridiculous. Seems a little ridiculous. 1562 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 2: There is an edit. This is my first ever post. 1563 01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 2: I have nothing to do with the woman making weird 1564 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 2: comments about autoimmune issues caused by a dog. I guess 1565 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 2: that's out of context. Okay, my daughter in law was 1566 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,479 Speaker 2: not an active labor. When I asked, they were walking 1567 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 2: around in the hospital trying to get things started. We 1568 01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 2: were staying at their house. We only wanted some relief, 1569 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 2: we were planning to continue babysitting. Saying we only wanted 1570 01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 2: to do five hours total is unfair. So here's my thing. 1571 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 1: It's not that she wasn't like literally in labor at 1572 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 1: that moment. It's like, Okay, here's this like general event 1573 01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:09,519 Speaker 1: of like the event, the birth, the massive event, the 1574 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: birth is happening. I just don't want to think about 1575 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 1: is my time clock running out? 1576 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,640 Speaker 2: Like yeah, this feels like like like I want to 1577 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,840 Speaker 2: focus on my child. I think it's okay to assume 1578 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 2: if you have a good relationship with your parents, it's 1579 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,600 Speaker 2: okay to assume they could mine your kids for a 1580 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,639 Speaker 2: couple days. Yeah, this is just too ridiculous. And also 1581 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,080 Speaker 2: it's the two of them, So one of them can 1582 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,200 Speaker 2: go out and get something while the other stays there. 1583 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,000 Speaker 2: Hire another babysitter. If the grandparents are like, all right, 1584 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:33,680 Speaker 2: we need like a break of a few hours, the 1585 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 2: grandparents can hire a babies that are like you, just 1586 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 2: like take them to the park for a little bit, 1587 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 2: tire them out. Of course, granted I'm not You're gonna 1588 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:41,960 Speaker 2: be a great grandma though, Oh dude, I'm going to 1589 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 2: be the biggest, baddest grandma you ever seen in your life. 1590 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,800 Speaker 2: G I LF emphasis on the G.

She's always had anxiety as well as depression, 1610 01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 1: where some months are worse than others. I have supported 1611 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 1: her through all of this and understand that it's very 1612 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 1: hard for her. In January, she lost her job due 1613 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 1: to the current world circumstances. By March she hit a 1614 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,560 Speaker 1: low point with not eating as much, crying and irritability, 1615 01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 1: typical traits of depression. I have comforted her as much 1616 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:00,000 Speaker 1: as possible. 1617 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,120 Speaker 2: What have you done? List it out? 1618 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: I have comforted her as much as possible and taken 1619 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 1: care of everything whatever that means the glazing. However, at 1620 01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,800 Speaker 1: the beginning of June, I was allowed back to work, 1621 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,599 Speaker 1: and since the house has fallen to shambles, I am 1622 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: too tired by the time I come home to do anything, 1623 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,760 Speaker 1: even cook. Most nights we order takeout and on the 1624 01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,759 Speaker 1: rare occasion she makes food. Floors aren't being washed, Hovering, 1625 01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 1: vacuuming I'm assuming isn't being done. Laundry is a mountain, 1626 01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,600 Speaker 1: and dishes are everywhere. 1627 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:30,479 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 1628 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 1: I try to keep on top of it, but with 1629 01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 1: work it's almost impossible. She is home all day. She 1630 01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 1: lies in bed till late in the afternoon, watches Netflix, 1631 01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 1: eats a bowl of cereal, and naps. That's about it. 1632 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,759 Speaker 2: I mean that she's definitely depressed. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 1633 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,439 Speaker 2: That's like all the signs of the passion. If you're 1634 01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 2: watching Netflix, you're depressed. I've I mean fair enough. 1635 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,439 Speaker 1: I've gently tried to coax her to do more, and 1636 01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,679 Speaker 1: she says that she will, but never does. I finally 1637 01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:57,920 Speaker 1: snapped and told her I was sick of her doing 1638 01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 1: nothing all day and leaving the housework to me.

He came home and he spoke to 1888 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: my sister's boyfriend. He told the boyfriend that he needs 1889 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 1: to not come over before eleven in the morning or 1890 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 1: be here after seven at night.

He needs to knock to be let in, 1893 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 1: and when he is hungry, he needs to go home 1894 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,759 Speaker 1: to get food. My dad also put my brother's games 1895 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,439 Speaker 1: in my brother's room and told the boyfriend not to 1896 01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 1: go into anyone's bedroom that he hasn't been invited. My 1897 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,400 Speaker 1: sister is pretty upset about all this, especially the rule 1898 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,759 Speaker 1: saying that he has to leave by seven pm. 1899 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,839 Speaker 2: Oh, I wonder why she's unhappy about that. That's so weird. 1900 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 2: Imagine what that possibly could be about. They go to 1901 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 2: book balls. Oh yeah, let's just say those balls are 1902 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 2: tended to. 1903 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 1: The thing is like, if you want to throw a 1904 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,200 Speaker 1: good book ball. By the end, is the book ball empty? 1905 01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,879 Speaker 2: It is spent. I think they're drained and everything around 1906 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 2: them are glaced. 1907 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 1: Woo, one more baby. My dad asked her if he's 1908 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,880 Speaker 1: been sleeping over. She swore up and down that he wasn't. 1909 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that's true, but it doesn't matter. My 1910 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,679 Speaker 1: sister's boyfriend was pretty embarrassed and apologized to my dad. 1911 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 1: The boyfriend said that he didn't realize that he was 1912 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 1: being a nuisance. My dad said it was fine and 1913 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: gave him a hug. I told him I was sorry 1914 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: that I snapped at him, and we hugged it out too. 1915 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:31,719 Speaker 2: That's sweet. 1916 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 1: So I think everyone is good, even though my sister 1917 01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 1: is pissed at me and my dad. My dad said 1918 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 1: that she will be better off in the long run 1919 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 1: because if she wants to see her boyfriend outside of. 1920 01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 2: Those hours, she'll have to leave her room.

My female twenty seven 1932 01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 2: husband male twenty eight, and I have been together for 1933 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 2: five years after being friends for most of my teenage years. 1934 01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,599 Speaker 2: We have two sons, and this whole story takes place 1935 01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,120 Speaker 2: in March of twenty twenty, when I was three months 1936 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 2: pregnant with my second child. I had gone to my 1937 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:34,679 Speaker 2: thirteen week scan and something wasn't right. I fully expected 1938 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 2: the worst, but my GP just said that it could 1939 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 2: be something on those scans with my fallopient dobe. Nothing 1940 01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 2: was wrong with my baby and I wanted to get 1941 01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,360 Speaker 2: some blood and swabs done. The fact that she's pregnant 1942 01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 2: just clicked. How much worse this is gonna mean? 1943 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:48,599 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1944 01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,640 Speaker 2: When the results came back, my GP called me to 1945 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,680 Speaker 2: come in urgently. That's when she showed me that my 1946 01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:59,840 Speaker 2: tests had returned positive for chlamydia. Oh the kala chlamydia, 1947 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 2: I'll get you. I was shocked, and my GP knew 1948 01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,559 Speaker 2: I had been with my husband for years. She was 1949 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 2: my doctor all the way back when my first son 1950 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 2: was born. She knew all of our history. She straight 1951 01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 2: up asked me if our relationship was monogamous, and I 1952 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 2: of course said yes, Who does that leave the suspects 1953 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,759 Speaker 2: are dwindling. She gave me the rundown of treatments and scripts, 1954 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,640 Speaker 2: telling me that my husband would need to come to 1955 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 2: be tested as well to confirm before he too would 1956 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:27,800 Speaker 2: likely need treatment. She said all this with a look 1957 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 2: of pity. She was thinking it. I was thinking of it. 1958 01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,559 Speaker 2: My partner had cheated and given me an sddoo. It sucks. 1959 01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 2: I'm furious and heartbroken.

He's 1963 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 2: at work, and I'm crying on the phone, explaining that 1964 01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,600 Speaker 2: I've just been to the doctors and gotten results that 1965 01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,880 Speaker 2: I'm positive for chlamydia, and I said, how could you 1966 01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,760 Speaker 2: do this, you bastard? All the works. I hang up, 1967 01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 2: and he's calling me over and over, but I'm trying 1968 01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 2: to calm down as I have to collect her son 1969 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,040 Speaker 2: from daycare and I still have to put myself together 1970 01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 2: as a mother. Somehow, I ignore his calls and go 1971 01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 2: about my day utterly crushed. I'm giving her son dinner 1972 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:09,640 Speaker 2: when he comes home. I go to my room and 1973 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,960 Speaker 2: talk to my husband and he's sitting on the bed 1974 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 2: holding his head crying. I walk over to him and say, 1975 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:16,680 Speaker 2: I don't know how you could do this to me 1976 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:19,519 Speaker 2: and our family, but you've given me an sdd and 1977 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 2: you also need to get tested and take this medication. Man, 1978 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,880 Speaker 2: he seems so innocent, I know, like crying on the bed. 1979 01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,760 Speaker 2: He looks at me, eyes red raw, yelling at me 1980 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,519 Speaker 2: that I am a sick and twisted person for cheating 1981 01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 2: on him getting an SDD and then blaming him for it. 1982 01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 2: So there is an update. Okay, what do you think 1983 01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,559 Speaker 2: about this reverse udo card that the husband just pulled on? 1984 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 1: Ope, we have the title, we know about Kalas. Somehow 1985 01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:45,719 Speaker 1: in the mix we see his reverse youner. I think 1986 01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 1: this man is just grasping his cheeks and just pulling 1987 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 1: out whatever card he can pull out of his. 1988 01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 2: Tight little bit. Dirtiest filthiest, poopiest card, dirtiest filthiest one. Well, 1989 01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,880 Speaker 2: let's get into this update and see where this poop 1990 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 2: card leads us. So my husband thinks I'm the one 1991 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 2: who has been unfaithful, and I'm just furious. I have 1992 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 2: never cheated. He cheated. It's a disgusting act to do 1993 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:09,439 Speaker 2: to someone you love. But he is adamant that he 1994 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:13,080 Speaker 2: also never strayed. And our argument ends with us waking 1995 01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,559 Speaker 2: up our son. So I go to settle him. When 1996 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,160 Speaker 2: I came out, he packed his bag and said he 1997 01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:19,800 Speaker 2: was leaving. He said he was going to stay with 1998 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:21,600 Speaker 2: his parents for a bit, and he left and I 1999 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 2: cried all night. The next few weeks were hell. He 2000 01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 2: tested positive, obviously, both of us still accusing each other. 2001 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,280 Speaker 2: It got to the point where I asked if we 2002 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:31,840 Speaker 2: could separate, because I didn't see how this could be 2003 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,640 Speaker 2: resolved since neither of us would own up man. He 2004 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 2: said he would tell me the answer if the pregnancy 2005 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 2: I was caring truly was his after a paternity test. Oh, 2006 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,360 Speaker 2: not to the paternity test. We went and got the test, 2007 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 2: and of course it was his child. We went to therapy, 2008 01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,800 Speaker 2: which never solved anything, and he eventually moved in. So 2009 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 2: it's more than two and a half years later. Now, whoa, 2010 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 2: we just skipped. This is the time travel and Adam 2011 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:02,080 Speaker 2: is scrolling through TikTok when this with Robert Irwin comes on. 2012 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 2: He was talking about how the biggest threat to the 2013 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 2: Kuala population is chlemyte. I swear if a light bulb 2014 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:09,760 Speaker 2: appeared in his head, it would have shone out through 2015 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:13,240 Speaker 2: his ears, because I saw him start to piece things together. 2016 01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:17,479 Speaker 2: He no has come to the conclusion that he thinks 2017 01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,639 Speaker 2: he did give me chlamydia, but it wasn't through cheating 2018 01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:24,400 Speaker 2: on a human. Back in mid to late twenty nineteen, 2019 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 2: these quaws were just by the side of the road, exhausted. 2020 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,720 Speaker 2: At one point we pulled over and Adam grabbed some 2021 01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,280 Speaker 2: water for these poor guys. One of these fellas was 2022 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,000 Speaker 2: so thirsty and exhausted he was just holding on to 2023 01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:39,400 Speaker 2: my partner's arm as he drank. And yes, Adam picked 2024 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:42,280 Speaker 2: up this koala and gave him a cuddle, and yes, 2025 01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 2: the koala proceeded to pee all over his shirt and arm. 2026 01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 2: Of course, we laughed it off, moved him off the 2027 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,960 Speaker 2: road track and continued on. Now, being a festival in 2028 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,120 Speaker 2: the middle of the bush, there are only showers that 2029 01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:56,479 Speaker 2: you pay for. We were not planning on using it 2030 01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 2: to shower until the last day. He'd taken off the shirt, 2031 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,719 Speaker 2: washed his hands with bottled water, and then we arrived 2032 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,240 Speaker 2: and set up camp and went to party and forgot 2033 01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:08,639 Speaker 2: all about the koala completely. Over those days we had 2034 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 2: sex a lot. So we go down the rabbit hole 2035 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:16,120 Speaker 2: of research and find out that yes, you can catch 2036 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,880 Speaker 2: chlamydia from koala's. I am speechless, you can catch chlamydia 2037 01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:26,720 Speaker 2: from koalafe He wasn't lying. Adam is so fast to 2038 01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 2: make an appointment at our GPS office. We showed up 2039 01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:32,880 Speaker 2: and explained everything, and even she agrees with him that yes, 2040 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 2: it is possible that the SDD could have originated from 2041 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,760 Speaker 2: koala pis. We were completely asymptomatic, so we could have 2042 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,320 Speaker 2: had it from then and it was only detected during 2043 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,439 Speaker 2: the pregnancy. Since finding this out, it's like my husband 2044 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:48,599 Speaker 2: has changed again. He's back to the loving, affectionate, caring 2045 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,760 Speaker 2: man he was before the started. He's accepted this explanation 2046 01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,080 Speaker 2: so easily. And now how do I wrap my head 2047 01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,320 Speaker 2: around the fact that my husband did in fact give 2048 01:31:56,320 --> 01:32:00,479 Speaker 2: me chlamydia but from a koala And John there is update? 2049 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,559 Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's more there is? How can there 2050 01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,439 Speaker 2: be more? So far, it looks like we have a happy, 2051 01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 2: happily ever after, But John, it gets worse. I sat 2052 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 2: my husband down last evening and we spoke about how 2053 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,719 Speaker 2: I'm feeling now that we know the truth. I talked 2054 01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,919 Speaker 2: about how much pain I've been through with him accusing 2055 01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,800 Speaker 2: me and vice versa, and I apologize for my pardon things, 2056 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,040 Speaker 2: told him how much I loved him and how happy 2057 01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:26,400 Speaker 2: I was to finally put this to rest. Now we 2058 01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:28,880 Speaker 2: know that there is nothing between us. And then he 2059 01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,600 Speaker 2: starts fidgeting and getting upset, and then he tells me 2060 01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,920 Speaker 2: that actually he did cheat. Yep, I know, but he 2061 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 2: still didn't give me the STD. He says. In the 2062 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,680 Speaker 2: months after finding out, yes, our relationship was in a 2063 01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 2: really bad place. When he wasn't living at home at 2064 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 2: the time, he went out and had a one night 2065 01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:46,479 Speaker 2: stand with a girl from a pub in the town over. 2066 01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:50,559 Speaker 2: He explained that he genuinely believed that I cheated. Wow, 2067 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:52,760 Speaker 2: and after a few drinks he decided he was going 2068 01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 2: to end things with me, so he went ahead with 2069 01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,479 Speaker 2: sleeping with this girl. It was his way of going 2070 01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 2: tit for tat. Cheating is a deal breaker for me, 2071 01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,680 Speaker 2: and I never slept with anyone. I never considered it 2072 01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:06,080 Speaker 2: a payback tip for tap move against him, So why 2073 01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,439 Speaker 2: did he do that to me? I'm heartbroken and part 2074 01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:10,479 Speaker 2: of me wishes we could go back to where before 2075 01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,040 Speaker 2: all this happened. I can't break up my family. 2076 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,040 Speaker 1: We have two kids, two dogs, two cats, two cars, 2077 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:16,920 Speaker 1: and a house together. 2078 01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:19,040 Speaker 2: It would be a mess. I don't know how to 2079 01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,080 Speaker 2: take this on now. He could have told me this 2080 01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 2: six months ago when we first found out about this 2081 01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:26,519 Speaker 2: new possibility, but he didn't. He waited until I poured 2082 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 2: my heart out to him in an apology to dump 2083 01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:31,760 Speaker 2: me with this confession. I guess I'll take a few 2084 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:35,880 Speaker 2: days to process and then decide things, but I'll probably stay. 2085 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:37,960 Speaker 2: I love him so much. Even though this has broken 2086 01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,320 Speaker 2: a little part of me I just found again. Oh well, 2087 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:43,840 Speaker 2: life will go on, right. I feel like I have 2088 01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:46,240 Speaker 2: not been on this emotional rollercoaster on his story in 2089 01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:49,520 Speaker 2: a long time, right. I don't know if I necessarily 2090 01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 2: really blame the dude for the one night stand, because 2091 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:55,160 Speaker 2: it sounds like when they parted ways it was like over. 2092 01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:57,559 Speaker 1: Just the fact that he used it as revenge is 2093 01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:00,600 Speaker 1: like way out. It's whack and hurtful, super like you 2094 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,519 Speaker 1: know what. Like he goes to his parents' house, He's like, man, 2095 01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:04,679 Speaker 1: I really need to like maybe meet some other people, 2096 01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:08,040 Speaker 1: and like, you know, like I almost feel like that could. 2097 01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,840 Speaker 2: Have been not as bad in a way, it was 2098 01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 2: so vengeful. Before we jump into this next story, One 2099 01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,400 Speaker 2: question for the audience, have you had Colia tell us 2100 01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:17,160 Speaker 2: your stories? 2101 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,880 Speaker 1: My homophobic neighbor is trying to evict me for boning 2102 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,559 Speaker 1: my gay boyfriend. I told him to pound, saying, because 2103 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,080 Speaker 1: it's all pound whoever I want. 2104 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 2: I've ahole. That is honestly a beautiful statement. I'll pound 2105 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,559 Speaker 2: whoever I want. You go pound out, saying I want 2106 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,640 Speaker 2: you to like remove a layer of skin trying to 2107 01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:34,559 Speaker 2: pound that sand. I wanted to look like a little 2108 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,479 Speaker 2: like dog wiener, you know, and like the dog winner 2109 01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:38,840 Speaker 2: comes out. It's all like red and like raw looking. 2110 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,439 Speaker 1: I do so a bit of a weird one, so 2111 01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,640 Speaker 1: please bear with me. I ran an apartment from a 2112 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,200 Speaker 1: man who lives down the street. It's a nice enough apartment, 2113 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:48,880 Speaker 1: and up until now I've had very few issues. The 2114 01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:54,480 Speaker 1: problem is he's rather conservative and I am rather fabulous. 2115 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:55,040 Speaker 2: SKay. 2116 01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:57,640 Speaker 1: Once he found out that my boyfriend wasn't just a 2117 01:34:57,680 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 1: friend who spent a lot of time with me, he 2118 01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:04,760 Speaker 1: tried to bar him from coming over, literally and figuratively. 2119 01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,800 Speaker 1: I told him to pound sand, as the saying goes, 2120 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:09,160 Speaker 1: love it, God to love it. 2121 01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:09,880 Speaker 2: Now. 2122 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,400 Speaker 1: He sent me a letter stating that effective immediately, there 2123 01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,240 Speaker 1: shall be a two hundred and fifty dollars fine. 2124 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:21,000 Speaker 2: Every time what every time? What? Mmmm mmm? Quote? 2125 01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:24,360 Speaker 1: I commit the sin of homosexuality in my apartment. 2126 01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,600 Speaker 2: This guy is about to go down. This is a 2127 01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,320 Speaker 2: blessing in disguise. You have receipts and a lawsuit. This 2128 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:34,800 Speaker 2: is great news. OPI homophobia pays to dah. 2129 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,960 Speaker 1: If I refuse to sign the addendum, he claims that 2130 01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,600 Speaker 1: he will file to evict me due to breach of 2131 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 1: the lease, specifically the clause that the premise shall not 2132 01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,520 Speaker 1: be used for illegal activity. 2133 01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,360 Speaker 2: How is that illegal? My man? 2134 01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:51,599 Speaker 1: Not only is he backwards in many ways, he just 2135 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,360 Speaker 1: needs to talk to a lawyer. He cites the Massachusetts 2136 01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:59,400 Speaker 1: state Code that criminalizes fornication, sex outside of marriage, and 2137 01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:04,600 Speaker 1: crime against good nature, which he insists means homosexual relations. 2138 01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,720 Speaker 1: The statue does not define it any further than that. 2139 01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,200 Speaker 1: I look them up and they are evidently real crimes. 2140 01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:14,400 Speaker 1: I know they're not enforceable by any stretch, but have 2141 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:19,000 Speaker 1: I technically done illegal activity in my apartment? I really 2142 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 1: don't want to move early, lay Opie. There's no way, no, 2143 01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 1: you have such a countersuit at least started in September, 2144 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,800 Speaker 1: or have an eviction on my record. I know this 2145 01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,360 Speaker 1: seems absolutely silly, but the fact that they are still 2146 01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:33,639 Speaker 1: technically crimes in the book gives me. 2147 01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:34,320 Speaker 2: A little pause. 2148 01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:36,680 Speaker 1: Do I need to take this seriously or can I 2149 01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:40,120 Speaker 1: start coming up with more ways to say? Pound Sand? 2150 01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:42,559 Speaker 1: What should I do if he tries to take any 2151 01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:45,000 Speaker 1: further actions? To sue him so much? 2152 01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:49,640 Speaker 2: This is discrimination right easily? Yes? On multiple grounds? Is 2153 01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:50,120 Speaker 2: that the end? 2154 01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:50,320 Speaker 1: No? 2155 01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,720 Speaker 2: We have an update, all right, let's hear it. 2156 01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:54,880 Speaker 1: So, first of all, I just wanted to say, wow, 2157 01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,640 Speaker 1: the amount of support I've received, both in replies and 2158 01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:02,040 Speaker 1: in personal messages was absolutely amazing. Reddick community common in 2159 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:06,920 Speaker 1: hot but everything from fantastic advice to hilarious commentary. The 2160 01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,360 Speaker 1: person who said Sand is a weird name for a 2161 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,000 Speaker 1: guy had me in stitches. 2162 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:11,439 Speaker 2: That's it. 2163 01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,000 Speaker 1: I feel like people assumed a much worse picture of 2164 01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,519 Speaker 1: my landlord, people telling me to buy cameras, et cetera. 2165 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,920 Speaker 1: He's a nice enough person but has some very problematic views. 2166 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,080 Speaker 1: He grew up rural Arkansas, I think that or Alabama, 2167 01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:25,040 Speaker 1: and came to Massachusetts later in life. 2168 01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:25,759 Speaker 2: This was his. 2169 01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,360 Speaker 1: First time being a landlord, so he still has this 2170 01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,280 Speaker 1: idea in his head that it is his house, so 2171 01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 1: to speak. 2172 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:34,760 Speaker 2: Oh man, but he doesn't know what he's about to 2173 01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,879 Speaker 2: be hit with, about to be hit with all the laws. 2174 01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,040 Speaker 2: I mean if ope you wanted. I hope you wanted. 2175 01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:41,960 Speaker 2: I hope you could own that house by the end 2176 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:42,760 Speaker 2: of the day. 2177 01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:45,960 Speaker 1: Literally, that coupled with the fact that up until now 2178 01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 1: he's avoided even talking with people who are openly gay, 2179 01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,040 Speaker 1: led to a lot of vigdorance. I know some of 2180 01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,599 Speaker 1: you were hoping I'd screw him over for all he's worth, 2181 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,840 Speaker 1: or torment him with daily updates of. 2182 01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 2: My gay agenda. 2183 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,680 Speaker 1: But alas, I've decided to take the call approach, and 2184 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 1: it seemed to work. Yesterday I sat down with him 2185 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:06,120 Speaker 1: and first laid out the various information that you guys 2186 01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:10,519 Speaker 1: helped me find, everything from sexual orientation being a protected class, 2187 01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,360 Speaker 1: trouble damages, and the fact that those old laws are 2188 01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:18,479 Speaker 1: one hundred percent completely unenforceable. And he realized very quickly 2189 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:22,160 Speaker 1: that he was in the wrong, and he fucked up bad. 2190 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,600 Speaker 1: He also admitted that even he didn't know what he 2191 01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,720 Speaker 1: defined as the sin of homosexuality. 2192 01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:31,040 Speaker 2: Now you're not sure what you mean, Like, oh, I'm 2193 01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:34,840 Speaker 2: so confused by what I just said, hopefully not enforceable 2194 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,880 Speaker 2: in the court of law. How do you define these 2195 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,120 Speaker 2: random collection of sounds that escape my maup? Please just 2196 01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:41,360 Speaker 2: don't define them. Yeah, don't. 2197 01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:43,960 Speaker 1: What's not Let me just like you know, retreat to 2198 01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,679 Speaker 1: my house and you don't go to court, or how 2199 01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,439 Speaker 1: he would enforce the fine. He just had a knee 2200 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,639 Speaker 1: jerk reaction to the shocking news. We ended up chatting 2201 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,040 Speaker 1: for about two hours then, and it started with me 2202 01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:57,920 Speaker 1: dispelling a lot of misconceptions about gays. Some of his 2203 01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,960 Speaker 1: notions were comically bad, Like if I weren't having the 2204 01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 1: conversation with him, I'd think he were a caricature. 2205 01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:04,479 Speaker 2: He's a lot. 2206 01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:06,960 Speaker 1: Older than me, and his kids recently moved across the 2207 01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:09,280 Speaker 1: country and he was renting out their house for him, 2208 01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,479 Speaker 1: so I think he had some notions of being a 2209 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,760 Speaker 1: father figure to me and thinking he could lay down 2210 01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:20,000 Speaker 1: the law or set me straight. Yikes Ooo, buddy, Wow. 2211 01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:23,840 Speaker 1: He seemed genuine and seemed to be legitimately concerned for 2212 01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:26,559 Speaker 1: me and my soul. I reminded him to hate the 2213 01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,679 Speaker 1: sin and not the sinner, and that seems to resonate 2214 01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,920 Speaker 1: with him. He still doesn't agree with homosexuality or my lifestyle, 2215 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:35,080 Speaker 1: but he's willing to accept it. He seemed to be 2216 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 1: earnestly trying, and in my mind, that counts for a 2217 01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,959 Speaker 1: lot he agreed to write both me and my boyfriend 2218 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,479 Speaker 1: a letter of apology, which I will be keeping copies 2219 01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:45,439 Speaker 1: of in case this matter does come up again and 2220 01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:47,200 Speaker 1: needs to go to court. The past few days have 2221 01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,479 Speaker 1: been super stressful, but it seems to be resolved. If 2222 01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:52,599 Speaker 1: things go well, I might even potentially renew the release 2223 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,680 Speaker 1: come September. It'll still be on guard for any shenanigans, 2224 01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:57,679 Speaker 1: but I think I'll leave the issue where it lies now. 2225 01:39:57,760 --> 01:39:58,559 Speaker 2: If this was all a. 2226 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,960 Speaker 1: Ruse or him backpedaling, I'll go at him with everything 2227 01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,040 Speaker 1: I can in the future, but for now, I'm satisfied. 2228 01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm truly appreciative for all the people who offered advice 2229 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 1: and moral and moral support in the original thread. Wow wow, 2230 01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:16,240 Speaker 1: wow man, some good stories in this session. 2231 01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,840 Speaker 2: Sounds like the guy became a little less homophobic, not completely, 2232 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:20,879 Speaker 2: but a little. 2233 01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:22,720 Speaker 1: Less Tire's the thing, Like, Okay, there was kind of 2234 01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 1: two paths, right. There was one path, which is go 2235 01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 1: to the court and sue him out of his brain hole, 2236 01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:27,439 Speaker 1: which I like that path. 2237 01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,680 Speaker 2: That's a fun path. That's a mega million doesn't love money, Yeah, right. 2238 01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:32,920 Speaker 2: It's like when Michael kisses Oscar in the office and 2239 01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 2: then he gets like a new car, and then Oscar's like, 2240 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,080 Speaker 2: you know what. Part of me wants them to learn 2241 01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:39,719 Speaker 2: their lesson, but part of me wants to say, keep talking. 2242 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:42,360 Speaker 2: I want a home theater. Sometimes it pays to be gay. 2243 01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:45,160 Speaker 2: They haven great recall. I've also watched The Office like 2244 01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:46,639 Speaker 2: a thousand times.

I got myself 2294 01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:45,719 Speaker 2: a job working the night shift at a gas station, 2295 01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:47,400 Speaker 2: and I helped them find a job at a different 2296 01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:49,720 Speaker 2: gas station on the day shift. Here's where the red 2297 01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:51,920 Speaker 2: flag started. F would schedule for us to be at 2298 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,559 Speaker 2: social events without taking into consideration that I had an 2299 01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,360 Speaker 2: odd sleep schedule because of the night shift, which led 2300 01:42:57,360 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 2: to multiple instances of ME having to drive long DISTA 2301 01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,800 Speaker 2: distances while exhausted, which is never good for safety. If 2302 01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:05,320 Speaker 2: you've seen my other comments, you'll know that I'm disabled 2303 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:11,120 Speaker 2: and have pots and fibromyalgia, piromyalgia, I believe, okay, muscle 2304 01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:15,479 Speaker 2: skeletal pain, heart issues, and muscle skeletal pain. So the 2305 01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,679 Speaker 2: symptoms had recently started becoming worse and I was fainting 2306 01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,320 Speaker 2: more frequently and having trouble walking and standing, and this 2307 01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 2: dude was just planning a whole social calendar. Can we 2308 01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:27,920 Speaker 2: go to a head banging concert? I fucking love de broll. 2309 01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:30,800 Speaker 2: There was one day where they insisted they needed my 2310 01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,920 Speaker 2: cane and took it without asking, and then kept leaving 2311 01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,479 Speaker 2: it at random places where I couldn't get to it. 2312 01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:39,120 Speaker 2: When I mentioned looking to getting a service dog for myself, 2313 01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:42,080 Speaker 2: they asked me if my dog could help with their ADHD. 2314 01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,640 Speaker 2: If you know anything about service dogs, you know that's absurd. 2315 01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:47,720 Speaker 2: But if you don't, service dogs are trained for the 2316 01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,519 Speaker 2: specific needs of one disabled person, and there really isn't 2317 01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,600 Speaker 2: any task a dog could perform that would help with ADHD. 2318 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,160 Speaker 2: During one of these social outings thirty miles from my house, 2319 01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:58,720 Speaker 2: I didn't really want to attend, but I was the 2320 01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,639 Speaker 2: only one that could drive. Ended up having a fainting episode. 2321 01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:03,439 Speaker 2: I guess in the car. For me, all that needs 2322 01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:05,240 Speaker 2: to be done is wake me up, give me some water, 2323 01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:06,840 Speaker 2: give me a few minutes to recover, and I'll be 2324 01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:10,759 Speaker 2: completely fine again. F freaked out and got an ambulance called, 2325 01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:12,600 Speaker 2: and I ended up with my scara stains on my 2326 01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:15,160 Speaker 2: legs because F could do nothing but cry in my 2327 01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:18,040 Speaker 2: lap instead of just shaking me and finding me a drink. 2328 01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:20,599 Speaker 2: All this came to a head when F got neon 2329 01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:23,720 Speaker 2: purple hair dye all over the bathroom. It was like 2330 01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,000 Speaker 2: a unicorn exploded and left it there for hours, standing 2331 01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:30,280 Speaker 2: in the countertops, walls, door, floor, rug, and bathtub. And 2332 01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,960 Speaker 2: instead of apologizing, F screamed at my mother and slammed 2333 01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:35,800 Speaker 2: the door. They're letting F stay in the house, in 2334 01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,960 Speaker 2: their house, slam the door interface before walking out of 2335 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:42,040 Speaker 2: the house after dark, and pajama shore facetiming with God 2336 01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,400 Speaker 2: only knows who. That was the end, and my parents 2337 01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:47,479 Speaker 2: had me tell them to find another living arrangements. They 2338 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:49,160 Speaker 2: were sort of in charge of my friend group, so 2339 01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 2: I ended up losing a good number of friends, but 2340 01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,160 Speaker 2: they all turned out to be assholes anyway. I'm so 2341 01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:55,200 Speaker 2: glad that F is out of my life, and I 2342 01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,800 Speaker 2: feel sorry for the constant string of x's they've had 2343 01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:00,519 Speaker 2: since we broke up three years ago. Talk sis can 2344 01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:01,000 Speaker 2: never be. 2345 01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:07,400 Speaker 1: Lonely, man star Rows, You and your family did so 2346 01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:11,360 Speaker 1: much for FM. Honestly, not that way, but you know, 2347 01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:13,920 Speaker 1: like let life f them and everyone else. 2348 01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:16,000 Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
