Oh, the house 12 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 3: is in his name only, but our arrangement was that 13 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 3: he paid the mortgage and I pay all the utilities 14 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: and groceries. He has been trying to get me to 15 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 3: see the home as ours, but I still consider it 16 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 3: his since my name is nowhere on the mortgage or 17 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 3: deed or even the rental agreement, and he has been 18 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 3: taking care of all the home ownership expenses. It's kind 19 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: of respectful. By the way. This comes from you slash 20 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: ok b six zero two four on the r slash 21 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: Okay story Times subbreaddit I originally waited for us to 22 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 3: buy a home together after getting married, but our leases 23 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: were almost up and he had the money for a 24 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: house and didn't want to keep renting any longer than necessary, 25 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: so now seemed like the best time. I was okay 26 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: with this, since I wasn't in a financial position yet 27 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 3: to help put down money on a new home. Either way, 28 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 3: and think our current arrangement is more than fair. Anyways, 29 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: my family was super excited when they heard that he 30 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 3: bought a place and that we would be moving to 31 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 3: a house instead of continuing to live in our small apartments. 32 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: Let's go okay. They love him like a son and 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 3: we're so happy about him finally becoming a homeowner. My 34 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 3: mom and her sister, my aunt, asked if they could 35 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: come visit us for the fourth of July holiday since 36 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: they were off and wanted to see the new place. 37 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 3: They live about three hours away and wanted to take 38 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 3: the train. I initially told them no since it was 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 3: so close to the time we were finishing the home, 40 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 3: but when my fiance heard about it, he assured me 41 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: it would be okay and he was happy to have 42 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: them visit. He loves my aunt's cooking and she loves 43 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: to cook for people, so he thought it would be 44 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: great to have her come cook and we would have 45 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: our place ready for them by then. We bought all 46 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: the furniture we needed, beds for the guest rooms, et cetera. 47 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: His sister and her kids were also going to be 48 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: in town and would be visiting us, so it was 49 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: going to be nice having everyone meet and spend the 50 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: day together. I was really looking forward to it and 51 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: even bought a new grill. He bought fireworks to shoot 52 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 3: off with the kids. It was supposed to be a 53 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: fun weekend and our first time hosting as a couple. 54 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: At first, everything was going well and everyone was getting along. 55 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: My mom and aunt were cooking while his sister was 56 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: just hanging out talking and the kids were watching TV. 57 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: My mom started washing a dish and I mentioned to 58 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: her not to use the sponge to clean the counters, 59 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: because my fiance doesn't like that, something about bacteria spreading 60 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: from the sponge to the counter. We clean our counters 61 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 3: with sponges back home. I grew up doing it this way, 62 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 3: so I figured i'd tell her beforehand so she wouldn't 63 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: get upset. He decided to make this a topic of 64 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: conversation slash debate, and asked his sister for her thoughts 65 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: on this. It seems like he wanted to prove he 66 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: was right about the bacteria thing, since it was something 67 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: we had argued about way back when I washed dishes 68 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: at his apartment for the first time. 69 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 4: Okay, just like a little like, you know, what, do 70 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 4: you think she's got a big deal? 71 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: Something tells me it is. I had long ago conceded 72 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 3: he was right and stopped using the sponge on the counters. 73 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: His sister disagreed with his logic, though, and pointed out 74 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 3: that the sponge in the sink is collecting bacteria either way, 75 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: and he's going to wash another dish with it and 76 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: spread the bacteria to the dishes that he eats with, 77 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: So his logic about its spreading to the counter didn't 78 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: make too much sense unless he's replacing the sponge after 79 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 3: every use. It's getting pretty serious right now. 80 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 4: That was very logical technicalities here. 81 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: Very serious sponge topics. He proceeded to pull up CDC 82 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: articles and try to prove his point, but her logic 83 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: also made sense. She didn't think it was a hills 84 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: and teased him about being a psycho over the bacteria 85 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: sponge thing. He finally dropped it and we started talking 86 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: about other things. I should mention that his new home 87 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: has quartz counters, and he made it known when we 88 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: moved in that I definitely couldn't use a sponge since 89 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: he says it'll damage the stone, so the whole bacteria 90 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: to bait was pointless. Anyways, we were talking about the 91 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: house and I brought up that he has been very 92 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: careful with things in the new house and joked that 93 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: he has even been waking up at four am to 94 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: trim hedges in the front lawn like a psycho. Aw 95 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: he laughed, but I later learned he took offense to 96 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: my comment. My mom made a joke at some point 97 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: about him being quite particular about his new house and 98 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 3: laughed along with my aunt. Prior to this, he had 99 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: already joked around with her through the security cameras when 100 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: she was outside, by scaring her and telling her to 101 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: wipe her feet before coming in. He thought it was 102 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: funny to joke around with her like that. I knew 103 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 3: there was an element of truth to his joking, but 104 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: my mom took it in good fun though, since she 105 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: also jokes around with him, so that was fun. I guess. 106 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: The kids were sitting alone on the couch and I 107 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: was trying to be a good host, so I asked 108 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 3: if they wanted anything to eat or drink, and his nephew, 109 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: seven years old, asked for a cookie, which I gave 110 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: him along with a napkin, and he went back to 111 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: the couch to continue watching TV with his brother. I 112 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: didn't see it, but apparently he dropped cookie crumbs on 113 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: the couch while he was eating obviously nonpurpose there, good kids. 114 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: My fiance saw the crumbs and immediately got upset and 115 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 3: started scolding him, and I stepped in and said it 116 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: was my fault and that I gave him the cookie. 117 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm seeing a lot of little OCD activities here. 118 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: I think so. I think so. I honestly didn't see 119 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: a problem with this at the time, since we sometimes 120 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: eat dinner on the couch and the material is very 121 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 3: easy to clean, but I didn't say anything about that. 122 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: My fiance turned to me and started scolding me about 123 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: eating on the couch in front of everyone. Wow. I 124 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: apologized multiple times, and he kept going on about how 125 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: the couch is brand new and there shouldn't be any 126 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: eating on it and giving me stern looks like a 127 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: parent gives a child from your partner. 128 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: She's saying, I'm sorry that should be not in front 129 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: of everyone. 130 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: Especially not in front of everyone counterfare. Exactly after I 131 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: apologized for the third time, his sister stepped in and 132 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: was like, okay, bro, apologize, I think she gets it. 133 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: I was super embarrassed to have him schoold me like 134 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: that in front of everyone, but I shrugged it off 135 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: since I didn't want to kill the mood and make 136 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: it more awkward for our guests. We ended the night 137 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 3: by shooting off fireworks with his nephews and they went 138 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: home with his sister and we went to sleep. At 139 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 3: this point, my family got the sense that he was 140 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: very serious about the up keeper of the house and 141 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: started feeling uncomfortable and like they were intruding in his 142 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: very clean space. The next day, they spend most of 143 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: the day outside of the house, shopping and going for 144 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: walks so they wouldn't be in the way. My fiance 145 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: spent the day locked in his office working and playing 146 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: video games and didn't really come out. It wasn't like 147 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: my family to spend so much time away, as they 148 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: usually like talking and spending time together with us, so 149 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 3: at night I decided to go on one of their 150 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: walks with them and my mom mentioned how much she 151 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: loved the area where we lived due to all the parks, 152 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 3: and couldn't wait to come back, but for me not 153 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 3: to worry because she will rent a hotel room so 154 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: she doesn't bother us too much. I guess it broke 155 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 3: my heart a little hearing that, because as I realized 156 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: we'd made her and my aunt feel unwelcomed in our 157 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: own new home. She'd never come out right and say that, 158 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: but my mom and aunt have visited me in my 159 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: tiny apartment before, slept on air mattresses and not complained 160 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 3: once or say that they'd prefer to stay in a hotel. 161 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: So it's not about the space that they're giving to them. 162 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: It's about the pressure, the pressure of the space. When 163 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: we got back, it was late in my fiance it 164 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: was still in his office playing video game Ah, come on, 165 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: not the games, come on. I could tell he was 166 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: also being distant, and I didn't want to bother him, 167 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: so I went to bed. He joined me a few 168 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: minutes later and wanted to talk. He said he didn't 169 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: like the comment I made earlier calling him a psycho 170 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: in my story, in that he was also unhappy with 171 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: my family joking and laughing about him. He said he 172 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: felt disrespected in his own house. I felt like I 173 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: had so many things to say to him, but my 174 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: family was in the next room, and my fiance has 175 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: a tendency to yell whenever we have disagreements, so I 176 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: just apologized. That's a red flag. 177 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 4: That is a red flag. 178 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 3: You have a tendency to yell when you're upset. Yeah, 179 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: with disagreements. I told him I was telling a funny 180 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: story and completely joking and didn't mean it literally, but 181 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: I understood where he was coming from and it wouldn't 182 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: happen again. I also apologized on my family's behalf and 183 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: told him they didn't mean any harm, and from my perspective, 184 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: it looked like he was joking right back with them, 185 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: but I was sorry either way. I also pointed out 186 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 3: his sister had also called him the psycho and asked 187 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: if he was upset at her too. He said he 188 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: had already talked to his sister about that and she 189 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: apologized and they were good. My family was due to 190 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: stay with us for a couple more days, so after 191 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: I apologize for everything, I told him what my mom 192 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: said about staying in the hotel and how I can 193 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 3: tell that they're feeling unwelcomed, and how I broke my 194 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: heart that they feel that way in our home. I 195 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 3: told him that since he was also upset at them, 196 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: not to worry, that I would make sure we do 197 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: things outside the house for the next couple of days 198 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 3: so they stay out of his way until they leave, 199 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: even though I was apologizing to him and my heart 200 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: hurt from my family, and I decided in that moment 201 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: that I couldn't stay with someone that created such an 202 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: unwelcoming environment for our guests when they visit, especially not 203 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: my family, since we're very close and aside from him, 204 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 3: they're all I have. 205 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 4: This might be this is a good test trial, maybe 206 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 4: even couples counseling. 207 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, I mean conversation couples counseling. That seems like 208 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: it's always a good good way to start things out, because. 209 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: It seems like there's like a lot of work on 210 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 4: his end, like with uh OCD stuff, money to work 211 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 4: on the yelling part and taking jokes, like it. 212 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: Seems like he's telling her a lot of like what's 213 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 3: wrong with her, but it doesn't seem like she's telling 214 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: him like things that he's doing wrong. 215 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense. 216 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: It seems like it kind of is just going back 217 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: to her and not really She's not really being listened to. 218 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: They traveled three hours by train each way, super excited 219 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: to visit my aunt. Even visited a special supermarket to 220 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: get the right sausages to make his favorite dish, carrying 221 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: it in a cooler by train along with other goodies 222 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: that he would like. That is so generous. Wow, so 223 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: much effort. Yeah, carrying it with you for three hours, 224 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 3: the love and the thoughtfulness she put into it, I 225 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: don't know, it broke me a little bit. She's far 226 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: from a rich person, but extremely giving with all she has, 227 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: and I love her so much for that. She's always 228 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: getting his favorite foods and buying him little gifts whenever 229 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: we visit her. I felt so bad for putting her 230 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: in a situation like that. I don't think he ever 231 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: even offered them a water the whole time they were 232 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 3: with us. It truly felt like he cared more about 233 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 3: his precious new home than the people in it. Anyway. 234 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: I told him after I dropped them off at the 235 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: train station on their last day, that I would be 236 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: leaving two and that it was over between us. 237 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: Oh, my god, Wait, that's crazy. 238 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: That is crazy. He wouldn't need to worry about us 239 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 3: messing up his new place or disrespecting him in his 240 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: own home anymore. Over the next couple days, my family 241 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 3: since something was off, but all I told them is 242 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: that he he's mad at me over a disagreement. I 243 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: didn't tell them that he was also upset at them, 244 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 3: but they felt it. 245 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 4: And it's so hard to not have your partner be 246 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 4: about your family. 247 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 3: Right, especially a fiance, because and they're. 248 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: About to be your family too, And that's like, that's true, 249 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 4: that's a part of you, right. 250 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: You can't just separate your family, you know. 251 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 4: If you're on good terms. If you're not on good terms, 252 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 4: makes sense. But this seems like this family's on good terms. 253 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 3: You're a great terms and this is a stupid reason 254 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: to not be on good terms with them. He locked 255 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: himself up in his room for the rest of their stay, 256 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: and whenever he would come out, he completely ignored us, 257 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: wouldn't even look their way or mutter more than I 258 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 3: I think. He only came downstairs once while we were 259 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: watching TV to snatch the remote and turn the base 260 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: off because it was rumbling. His room upstairs. Oh my goodness, 261 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: it's like he's not even there in his own house 262 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: that they're staying in. So weird. He didn't say a 263 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: word to any of us as he did this. My 264 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 3: aunt was hurt since she really loves him like a 265 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: son and felt like she did something to upset him. 266 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: She's a very sentimental person, and my mom let it slip. 267 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: She was crying the night before, thinking he hates her. 268 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: Oh my my word, dude, that's so sad. She wasn't wrong. 269 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: He would either look down or look at us like 270 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 3: he hated us every time we passed him in the 271 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: hall or something. But I know that would have broken 272 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 3: her heart. So I told her that he was mad 273 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: at me for something and not to worry. That he 274 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: still loved her very much, but was just mad at me. 275 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: The heck, that's crazy. That's crazy, dude.

The wedding was held in a beautiful 314 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: state because it was close to my brother in law's 315 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 4: hometown where most of his large family lives, and it 316 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 4: was also reasonable distance from herxton family. Mike'stended family lives 317 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 4: on the East Coast. We live in the Midwest. By 318 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: the way, this comes from mother Tradition seventy seven to 319 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: four on the ar slash ok Storytime super Because a 320 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: lot of our friends that live in our state were 321 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 4: unable to travel for the wedding, my mom decided to 322 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: host a small reception that will be happening later this month. 323 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 4: Oh sweet, I'm in my last year of law school 324 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: and I'm also working a full time job. When my 325 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 4: mom mentioned the idea for the second reception a few 326 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 4: months ago. I immediately told her I wouldn't be able 327 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: to help. I helped plan my sister's wedding, but I 328 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 4: volunteered to bay for the cake as well as a 329 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 4: way of contributing. She said that was fine, and we 330 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 4: should begin planning as soon as the wedding was over. 331 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 4: One thing led to another, and I ended up doing 332 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 4: ninety percent of the planning myself. Basically, what had happened 333 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 4: is my mom would suggest an idea and ask me 334 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 4: to research it. I would present it to her with 335 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 4: my research, and she would ask me to follow up 336 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: with the vendor. I would do that, but by doing so, 337 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 4: I advertently became the liaison between the vendor and my parents. 338 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 4: The only thing my mom has done on her own 339 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 4: is select the theme, the invitations, and the decorations. I 340 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 4: booked the venue, selected the menu, booked the entertainment, designed 341 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: and ordered invitations, as well as made the address labels 342 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 4: for them. My parents are still paying all of the costs. 343 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 4: I just did the majority of the actual planning. Here's 344 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: the problem. In the last two months, I encountered three 345 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 4: unexpected expenses that put about twelve hundred bucks of a 346 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 4: whole in my finances. I even had to pay my 347 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 4: rent late this month. By my estimates, I won't be 348 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 4: caught up until I received my holiday bonus from my 349 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 4: job in December. My last year bonus was thirteen hundred bucks. 350 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: The cake for my sister's party is going to cost 351 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: about three hundred bucks. I technically have the money, but 352 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 4: I'll have almost had nothing left for the month after 353 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 4: my bills are paid. Would it be wrong to ask 354 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: my family to help with the cost? I feel bad 355 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: for asking because I volunteered to pay for it and 356 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 4: my parents didn't budget for it. Also, my sister and 357 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 4: brother in law don't live in our state, so they 358 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: have to pay for a fly and hotel for the 359 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 4: weekend of the party. At the same time, there won't 360 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: be a party if it wasn't for me doing all 361 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 4: the work to plan it. I don't think it'll be 362 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 4: a bad I did ask the parents. 363 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: I don't think that's that bad, especially if they're your family, 364 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: Like they should understand that there's some sort of emergency. 365 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's some sort of like health related, car related, 366 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: house related issue where you really didn't have time to 367 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: pay for it, like it was something very necessary, and 368 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: I feel like your family should understand that, and so 369 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: if you just ask, like, hey, I'm really sorry. I 370 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: know I offered to do this. I really want to 371 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: do this, however, I just don't think i'll have enough 372 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: money for other things if I do. Yeah, I feel 373 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: like that's super understandable. 374 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: It's a super understandable. And she is in her thirties, though. 375 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: I still think that's okay. 376 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 4: We have some relevve comments just ducky four now, No, 377 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 4: and you wouldn't be wrong for sending them an invoice 378 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 4: for your time spent planning. I wouldn't recommend it, though, 379 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 4: unless you want to blow up. I also tell them 380 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 4: that they need to pay for the whole cake, since 381 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 4: your offer of paying for it was contingent on the 382 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 4: fact that you wouldn't do the planning yet and they 383 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 4: had you do most of the planning. You need to 384 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 4: find your way back home, opee, or they will continue 385 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 4: to take advantage of you. Also make it clear you 386 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 4: won't be setting up or cleaning up after the wedding, 387 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 4: as you have more than done your part, Opie said. 388 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 4: Or you made it clearer to my family that I'm 389 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 4: not doing anything else for this party. I'm not even 390 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 4: showing up early. The party starts at five VM, and 391 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 4: that's when I will arrive. I now realize I shouldn't 392 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 4: have agreed on to do too much, and I won't 393 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: do it again. Your people pleasing is showing opie mutual 394 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 4: buttons squeeze in for real. She wants a second wedding 395 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 4: reception on someone else's dime. The effing entitlement, He says 396 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: to clarify, the party was not on my sister's idea. 397 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: It was my mom's. My sister supports the idea, but 398 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 4: she doesn't care if it happens or not. Signal Violinist 399 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 4: ninety five says, not wrong at all. Good luck with school. 400 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 4: You didn't choose an easy road, but I'm sure you're 401 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 4: on a very positive road. Oh yeah, because she's a 402 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 4: law in school for to be a lawyer and working 403 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 4: about that. I totally forgot about that. Oh my gosh. 404 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 4: By the way, impress how much time you spent on 405 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: your sister. I hope she is worth it if he says, 406 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 4: she's definitely worth it. She's a wonderful sister and has 407 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: been incredibly supportive of me. She's actually paying the fee 408 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 4: for my bar exam as a law student graduation gift. 409 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 4: That's why I stepped up and planned this party for 410 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 4: her without hesitation or complaints. It might explain why my 411 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: family is oblivious to the fact that I've taken on 412 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 4: too much. And last comment, Kay Corolla says, you told 413 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 4: them you would pay for it, and you should on 414 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 4: your word. You have reminded Mom that you said you 415 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 4: can't help with the planning as it happened, and discuss 416 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 4: helping her but not by buying the cake. Then maybe 417 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: asked Mom to help you or front the money. Say 418 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 4: what you mean and do what you say you will do. 419 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 4: Be a person who is reliable and keeps their word. 420 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 4: It's extremely important trait. Opie says, I'm not saying this 421 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 4: to argue, but I do think it's unfair to say 422 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 4: I'm not being reliable or keeping my word. When I 423 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 4: said I would pay for the craike, I didn't know 424 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 4: I would have these unexpected expenses less than too much 425 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 4: before the party if emergencies happened. One of the reasons 426 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 4: I didn't have the money saved to cover the expenses 427 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 4: was because I spent so much money on paying the 428 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 4: cost of being my sisters made of honor, travel expenses, dress, hair, 429 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 4: make up. I spent the last year going above and 430 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 4: beyond for my sister. I would gladly do it again. 431 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: I just don't think I should go broke for buying 432 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 4: this cake and we have an update. 433 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 3: I agree. I think that one commentary that was like 434 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: stay by your word, be a good person or whatever, 435 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 3: I feel like that's kind of easier so than done. 436 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: Like sure, you wouldn't do that in any situation, but 437 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 3: sometimes we agree to things that are out of our 438 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: actual capabilities, and then are we agreed to things that 439 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 3: are like, you know, taking on more than we can handle. 440 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 3: And I think it's okay to backtrack on some of 441 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: that stuff a little bit. 442 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, your mom said she was gonna do this, 443 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 4: you said you were gonna do that. It yeah, flipped, 444 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 4: and I think you need a conversation. 445 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's again, it's like it's not like she's 446 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 3: not helping, like she's helping so much, doing so much 447 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 3: planning and doing all these like bridesmaide stuff, Like that's 448 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: a lot of stuff. It's just this one cake. 449 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: Honestly, you should just woman up and get another part 450 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: time gig uber drive until you get three undred bucks 451 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 4: and I pay for the cake. 452 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 3: Then yeah, just you don't need like sleep or eating 453 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 3: or anything like that. Just like take all your time 454 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 3: to support this wedding. 455 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, don't show up on time. 456 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: That isn't yours all right now? 457 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 4: We got an update. About a month ago, I posted 458 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 4: about a conflict I was having regarding a cake I 459 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: had offered to purchase for my sister's second wedding reception. 460 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 4: I could no longer afford the cake due to some 461 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: financial difficulties I was dealing with, and the overwhelming opinion 462 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 4: of the sub was that I should tell my family 463 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 4: I can't pay for the cake. I follow that advice, 464 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 4: and it worked, oh yea better than I would have hoped. 465 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 4: When I told my parents about my problem, they offered 466 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 4: to pay for the cake without hesitation. It was nice 467 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 4: to me to pay for the cake, but they didn't 468 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 4: want me to do it if it would cause a 469 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 4: financial strength. My sister said we could just get a 470 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: cake from the grocery store, but my parents really wanted 471 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: it to be a wedding cake and they didn't mind 472 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 4: paying the costs. I hope you don't mind paying the 473 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 4: costs of your time to join us live at three 474 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 4: pm PST just tap her profile another surprising term. My 475 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: mom called me last week and asked me to explain 476 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 4: in more detail exactly what was going on with my finances. 477 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 4: I'd been very caught up when I told her I 478 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: couldn't pay for the cake, and she knew there was 479 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 4: more to the story. I told her the twelve hundred 480 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 4: dollars hole in my finances, and she was really empathetic. 481 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: She told me she would call me back, and when 482 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 4: she did, she had my dad on speaker. They were 483 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 4: going to give me a thousand bucks to help me out. 484 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: Oh wow, a band. 485 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 4: They said. They wish they could give me more, but 486 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: that's all they can do on short notice. I was 487 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 4: absolutely shocked. This experience taught me that being a people 488 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 4: pleaser only benefits to people around here. I'm finally learning 489 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 4: that setting boundaries isn't a sign of weakness, it's a 490 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 4: sign of strength.

I agreed, Fine, 513 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 3: sure I'll go, he said he had already to be 514 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 3: writing with his sister let's call Christine and her fiance. 515 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 3: I said, okay, since they're the ones that live in 516 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 3: California with us. Months before the trip, I have never 517 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: spoken a word to his sister Christie, nor to his family. 518 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 3: But his sister Christie said that she would not be 519 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 3: allowing me to go to her wedding. It was not 520 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: within her budget at first, she said, and because she 521 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: did not know me. But her wedding is now in September, 522 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: and we would be writing from California to Washington together 523 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: in June and spending an entire three day weekend together. 524 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: Why would I not be allowed to be your brother's 525 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: plus one? And we even offered to pay for all 526 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: my costs then as well, which was all declined. So 527 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: my boyfriend said he would just not attend her wedding. 528 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: Then oo, here comes June time for the day of 529 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 3: the trip, I intuitively just had a bad feeling about 530 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 3: going all day long. My boyfriend got off work at 531 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 3: around four pm, met Christy at the car rental place, 532 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 3: and then he told her to meet us later on 533 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 3: and he would tell her when we were ready, as 534 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: he had to finish running a few errands for us 535 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: to leave with everything smoothly for a trip. Well, the 536 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: minute he got home, his sister was already at our place. 537 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 3: She looked at him and said, did you just get here? 538 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: So he comes upstairs as I am already in a 539 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 3: rush to go. He proceeds to say she's waiting downstairs. 540 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: He hasn't showered. He told me what he wanted to pack. 541 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 3: I never know what clothes he wants to wear, and honestly, 542 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: he takes a long time on the toilet. I started 543 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 3: telling him that it is rude of his sister to 544 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: just show up. She called him every ten minutes for 545 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 3: an hour, saying let's go. Yet she wasn't going to 546 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 3: be the one driving. My boyfriend was supposed to drive 547 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 3: us all the way to Washington or switch off with me, 548 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 3: So why does it matter when we left. We were 549 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 3: going to get there on time regardless. Well, Christy was 550 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: on the phone with his stepmom let's call her Tina, 551 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 3: and she said it's too late at night to drive 552 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 3: and dangerous. So Christy left. We walked downstairs about an 553 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 3: hour later and they were gone and said that they 554 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 3: would come back around one to three am. My boyfriend 555 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 3: and I decided to leave in our own car, in 556 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 3: my car actually, and we drove to Washington all night long. 557 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: We got there just fine. I was exhausted from staying 558 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: up all night on a long drive. From California to Washington. 559 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 3: It was my first trip ever going that far. At 560 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 3: most I have gone from California to Oregon and driving 561 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: all along the coast just short of the Oregon border. 562 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 3: I have never been to Washington before. I was nervous 563 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 3: to meet my boyfriend's family. Well, the time had come. 564 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: We arrived at his parents' house. The minute we walked 565 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: up onto the port, his stepmother, Tina opened the front door. 566 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 3: She acted as though she had cared about how we 567 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 3: were doing, and then in one instance, instantly started berating 568 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: my boyfriend on leaving his baby sister behind because she 569 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: had never driven that far on her own before. Yet, 570 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 3: his sister and I are the same age, both twenty four, 571 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 3: and my boyfriend is twenty seven. If my boyfriend and 572 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 3: I just switched off halfway driving, she sure can drive 573 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 3: here as well on her own. We went side the 574 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 3: house and his stepmom was still going on ah. His 575 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: stepmom was saying that we should have been ready on 576 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 3: Christie's time, because Christy was ready with no remorse for 577 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: what we had to do with ourselves to go on 578 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 3: our own trip as well. 579 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 4: Well, maybe Christy should have learned patience. 580 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 3: I agree, I had to take time off work, and 581 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 3: I had animals that I had to drop off with 582 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 3: my mom to stay at her place. While I have 583 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: been silent this whole time, letting his stepmother brate and 584 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: talk down horribly to my boyfriend while still passively saying 585 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 3: it towards me too, especially when she's saying it's not 586 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: adult like. Basically, it was like she was talking behind 587 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 3: my back to my face. Ah, I would say, fifteen 588 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 3: minutes had gone by and she was still ranting on. 589 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: I eventually interrupted and said, I'm sorry. I don't mean 590 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 3: to say anything wrong, but as far as I was aware, 591 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: we had never set a time on leaving, and Christine 592 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 3: was aware we had stuff to do. She also had 593 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 3: first said that she would get a snacks or food 594 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: for the trip, and then said, nah, never mind, you 595 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 3: guys go and get all the snacks. I was just 596 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: asking all about yourselves. So that set us back with 597 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: one more thing added to the list, and that was 598 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 3: really it. He had to shower, which was the only 599 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 3: reason they sat downstairs for so long. I also had 600 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: to drop off my German shepherd in a new apartment 601 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: at my mom's house, and I was rushing to get 602 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 3: us already and I didn't want to waste even more 603 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 3: time introducing the two of them, since he may be 604 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 3: scary and he's very loud, and apparently because I said 605 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: those few simple sentences, I disrespected his stepmother Tina, in 606 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: her own house. It doesn't seem like disrespect. That does 607 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: seem like she's just saying what happened. I guess how 608 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: you say it depends on the disrespect, but. 609 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 4: Doesn't sound like she said disrespectfully. She was just laying 610 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 4: it all out and hope he was also just got 611 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 4: back from driving all night. 612 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: When I went to the bathroom immediately after this, Tina 613 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 3: had pulled my boyfriend aside and told him that she 614 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 3: does not like me, that I'm rude. I should have 615 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: never said a single thing in her effing house and 616 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 3: been a mute. She also said that I am the 617 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 3: most disrespectful person ever. All of this. While I was 618 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: in the bathroom, I felt the vibes were so off. 619 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 4: It's so weird. 620 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: I could not believe we had just been getting yelled 621 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 3: at from the minute we had walked up onto the porch. 622 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 3: I have never met this person a day in my life. 623 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 3: That is not very welcoming at all. I started looking 624 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: for a hotel room and how many points I had 625 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: for my hotel rewards so I could get a room 626 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 3: somewhere else, since the original plan was to say it 627 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:28,719 Speaker 3: his parents. 628 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: It's fair, that's fair, That is pretty fair. 629 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: Honestly, but there was no way I could stay with 630 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 3: his parents after all that. Okay, so we got a 631 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: hotel room. Nice at first, my boyfriend said I wasn't 632 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: trying hard enough with his family. My boyfriend makes me 633 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 3: apologize on the phone to Tina for being disrespectful while 634 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 3: on our way to the motel. I told her I'm 635 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: sorry if she felt like that, because that was not 636 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 3: my intentions at all. I told her that I had 637 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: just wanted a normal first introduction to happen. Graduation was 638 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: this night as well. Also, Christie still hadn't which led 639 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 3: to Tina yelling at me because Christie's back was hurting, 640 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: so she stopped in organ They stopped in Orgon because 641 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 3: Christie's fiance couldn't drive due to epilepsy. This is my 642 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: first time hearing of this. How would I know that 643 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 3: I was also yelled at for the graduation for his 644 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 3: brother being ruined by me, even though I did not 645 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: attend the graduation at all and stayed in our hotel. 646 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 3: Fast forward to the entire weekend. I was around them 647 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: at the house. We did not really speak to each other. 648 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: They did not ask things about me. I only had 649 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: one drink at the house. I did not vaporround them. 650 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 3: I stayed outside. The only one who spoke to me 651 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 3: and treated me like a human this entire weekend was 652 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: my boyfriend's fifteen year old sister. Why did I mention 653 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 3: the beer and the vaping. It's very important to the 654 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 3: story for later on. 655 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 4: Oh I see I see you. 656 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 3: Christy never said hello, nothing to me at all. It 657 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: was honestly one of the most depressing experiences of my life. 658 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: I never for a thought would have ever had gone 659 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 3: had I knew it would have been like this, had 660 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 3: I knew that it. It feels like my life has 661 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 3: changed a bit because of this. I also should mention 662 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 3: now I have lost one hundred plus pounds in my 663 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: life from being a fat person my whole life to 664 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 3: in the past few years being fairy into fitness and 665 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: getting healthy. Good job, good for you. I have all 666 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 3: the things related to weight loss. When it comes to 667 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: looser skin on my arms and thighs, I have worked 668 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 3: hard for the confidence I have gained now, just to 669 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 3: be knocked down for all my efforts. I want to 670 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 3: say maybe a week had gone by the cops knocked 671 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: on my door. I wasn't home. My boyfriend and mother were. 672 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 3: The cops said that they were there to provide a 673 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 3: welfare check because his family was worried for my boyfriend's welfare. 674 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: They said that I had beat up my boyfriend said 675 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 3: he can't speak to his family, that I am a 676 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 3: Coca Cola head and like et cetera.

I still 680 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: never told my boyfriend he couldn't talk to them, so 681 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 3: what the heck? Since then, we have had the cops 682 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: call our house four times. It has been four months. 683 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 3: His family still leaves texts and calls saying that I'm fat, ugly, 684 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 3: my skin is disgusting, and that I'm a Coca Cola head. 685 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 3: I vape and drank soon it means I'm a loser 686 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 3: and that I will do math or Coca cola and 687 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 3: beat up my boyfriend in his sleep. I'm a manipulator, 688 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 3: I'm a user. If he has kids with me they 689 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 3: will never want anything to do with them, and that 690 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 3: I will end up abandoning my kids. That I'm a 691 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: B word, i am toxic, et cetera. You think of it, 692 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 3: They've said it. But yet why I have never understood 693 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: was I the problem? From the few simple sentences I 694 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: said about the graduation? Was that really truly so disrespectful 695 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 3: to defend my partner and I? When before I went 696 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 3: on the trip, my partner told me how horrible his 697 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 3: family has treated him growing up and that he had 698 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 3: hoped they had changed. From one meet where I did 699 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 3: not talk to them about anything, I now deserve the 700 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: cops being called on me from now on. That will 701 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 3: now be on my record of nine one one calls 702 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 3: going to my residence for potential domestic violence that could 703 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 3: ruin my life in public reputation with false accusations like that. 704 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: By the way, something that could never ruin your life 705 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 3: is joining us on live on YouTube every weekday at 706 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 3: three pm. Just tap pr profile. Now it's September and 707 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 3: his sister, Christie's wedding is here this weekend. The whole 708 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 3: family is coming in town today. I feel as though 709 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: after four months I have a right to ask my 710 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 3: boyfriend to no longer speak to them from now on 711 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 3: until they learn that it's not acceptable to say those 712 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 3: things about me, because obviously what my partner has been 713 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 3: saying to them to so called defend me has not 714 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 3: been working right or am I entirely in the wrong here. 715 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 4: I would have a hard conversation with yourself, think do 716 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 4: I want to be with this person? How long do 717 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 4: I want to be with this person? If he has 718 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 4: a good relationship with his family, you might need to 719 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 4: dip out. They're going to treat you like this. He 720 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 4: has a good relationship with y, yeah, because it's like, oh, 721 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 4: we're good, there's nothing wrong here. Yeah, it's that's just 722 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 4: how they are. 723 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 3: But it doesn't seem like that's the case. Items Like 724 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 3: he's already had a bad relationship with them already in 725 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 3: that they've like been terrible to him in general, and 726 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 3: then now that she's here, now she's dealing with that. Yeah, 727 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: maybe don't ask him to cut them out. I think 728 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 3: maybe have a conversation where you suggest no, because I 729 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 3: think if you just come right out the gate being like, hey, 730 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 3: I need you to do this, I need you to 731 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 3: cut out your entire family because they're terrible and you 732 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 3: need to see that. Like that might be true. They 733 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 3: might be terrible. He might need to see it, and 734 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 3: that might be the best decision for him, but he 735 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: needs to come to that on his own. 736 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,959 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Sam, your og host. Here. 737 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna get back to the stories, but here's three 738 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 2: minutes of ads from our sponsors.

My family and I grew up 743 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 3: very poor. 744 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 2: From when I was old enough to legally work, I nineteen, 745 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: female have had to take on multiple jobs while balancing 746 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 2: school to help with my family and my younger sister. 747 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 3: By the way, this. 748 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 2: Comes from leone sixty eight on the Hour slash hookey 749 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 2: Storytime Suburbs. Growing up, I never had a lot, and 750 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 2: whatever money I earned, I would spend on my sister's 751 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: sixteen female and family. When I was eighteen and had 752 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 2: just been accepted into college, my dad's business that he 753 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 2: worked on for the past couple of years finally took off. 754 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 2: This also meant that my sister could now have a 755 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: normal high school experience without worrying about money. While I 756 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: was in college, I wasn't in contact with my sister 757 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 2: that much since I was so busy with school work. However, 758 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 2: from our calls and her social media, I could tell 759 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: she had changed completely and was involved with some bad people. 760 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: She would post videos on her snapchat of her getting uk, 761 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 2: smoking dope, jeweling, driving while most likely under the influence, 762 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 2: et cetera. I tried reaching out to her, but she 763 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 2: would mostly deny the claims and told me to mind 764 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 2: my own business. At some point, she'd justify her actions 765 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 2: using the argument, this is what the cool kids do now. 766 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: Not everyone was a nerd like you. 767 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: In high school, so she's doing college stuff as a 768 00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: high schooler. 769 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 2: One of my high school friend who also had a 770 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: brother in the same grade, reached out to me and 771 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 2: said that she heard that my sister was seeing a 772 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 2: sketchy guy from another's school. Apparently he sells substances and 773 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 2: was expelled from my sister's high school. I asked my 774 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 2: sister about this and she denied it. Last week, I 775 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 2: got a phone call from my mom who was sobbing. 776 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 2: She tells me that my sister is pregnant. I was 777 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 2: so shocked. That I could not speak. Then I was 778 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 2: angry when I was her age and even younger. I 779 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 2: gave her everything, and so did my parents, so she 780 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 2: could have all the opportunities her peers had since my 781 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 2: dad's business became lucrative. They've given her every opportunity to succeed. 782 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 2: Any extracurricular sport she wants, academic tutoring, school activities, et cetera. 783 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 2: I never got any of those things. It angered me 784 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: so much that she took all of this for granted 785 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: and efed up her life. The father her delinquent boyfriend, 786 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 2: who got expelled and sold substances. She blows up my phone, 787 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 2: but I don't respond. She then sends me a series 788 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 2: of long text messages asking if she can crash at 789 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 2: my place. She also asked me if I could make 790 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 2: her an appointment to see a doctor. Lastly, she asks 791 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 2: if it would be okay if her boyfriend comes and 792 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: stays over. Sometimes I understand like letting her stay. 793 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: This sister stay over she wants even if you guys 794 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 1: are on, like, eh, yeah. 795 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 3: I still, I mean, I still sister would want to 796 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 3: be there for your Yeah. 797 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: But the boyfriend a sketchy boyfriend. 798 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 2: Who who's who's a dealer. I shut her down. I 799 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: told her that you dug this hole for yourself. If 800 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: you allowed yourself to become pregnant, then you should be 801 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 2: able to deal with the consequences. I mean, I understand why. 802 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 2: I hope he is saying this because she's eighteen. 803 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, but but not the way to go about I mean, like, at. 804 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 3: Least her parents should be. She's not an adult. 805 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: She doesn't know what She's so naive. I mean, you 806 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: can tell that from just her be like, ah, I'm 807 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: the cool kid an adult. Yeah, two high schoolers do. 808 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 3: Also. 809 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 2: I'm currently sharing a small apartment with two roommates. She 810 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 2: begged some more and I denied her. In the past 811 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 2: few days, she's been texting me and calling me NonStop, 812 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 2: saying that she has nowhere to go and has been 813 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 2: living in her boyfriend's car. I haven't responded to a 814 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 2: single message of hers, but I feel my resolve wavering 815 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 2: a bit. I fully don't support her, but maybe I'm 816 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 2: an a hole. And there are two edits in an update, 817 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 2: so we'll read those edits and then get into the update. 818 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 2: Edit says to clarify I would still never house her 819 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 2: in my apartment that would be extremely disrespectful towards my 820 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: roommates and would get me kicked out due to the 821 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 2: least agreement I meant, I was considering giving and sending 822 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 2: her some money. Edit to my parents have disowned her, 823 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 2: not kicked her out. They are refusing to acknowledge that 824 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 2: she is their daughter, but she is still welcome to 825 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 2: live in their house. Interesting, Wait, what, you're not our daughter, 826 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 2: but you can live here. She chose not to since 827 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 2: my parents are absolutely fuming and probably will yell at 828 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 2: her and criticize her, which she honestly needs. 829 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: I would say, take the yelling in the criticism. Yeah, 830 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: rather than living in a car, get a roof over 831 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: your head. 832 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 3: And I feel really bad. 833 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I don't think OP necessarily has a 834 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: responsibility to house her, especially in the living situations. 835 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially the situation where mats and then also losing 836 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: the lease or Yeah, you. 837 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 2: Just like a lot of stuff that she shouldn't have 838 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,479 Speaker 2: to handle as an eighteen year. 839 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: Old, which I thought that maybe crash Houch wants in 840 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: a blue moon, but not stay with you entirely. 841 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel bad for this sixteen year old because, 842 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 2: like on the one hand, I understand that a lot 843 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 2: of parents would see this and be like, well, you're 844 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 2: so irresponsible and you have to deal with the consequences. 845 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: We give you everything, Yeah, you took it for granted way. 846 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 2: And blah blah blah. But there is another update. It's 847 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 2: been a little bit more than two weeks since my 848 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 2: first post, and I guess it's safe to say now 849 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 2: that the situation has been resolved, oh, in probably the 850 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 2: best way possible. Okay, okay. In my last post, I 851 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 2: stated that my sister was still living in her car 852 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 2: of her delinquent boyfriend who sells drug and was refusing 853 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 2: to come home because my parents had disowned her. At 854 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 2: this point, I would like to clarify that my family 855 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 2: and I are Chinese, and it is common in Chinese 856 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 2: culture to disown your kids when they do something that 857 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 2: largely disappoints you or embarrasses you. However, this is not 858 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 2: a permanent disownment like many of you have brought up. 859 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 2: As long as my sister apologizes sincerely and they can 860 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 2: see that she is actively trying to fix her mistake 861 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 2: and become better, they will take her back as their daughter. 862 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: Another clarification would be for those people who assumed that 863 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 2: my dad kept us poor since he was stubborn and 864 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 2: wanted to work on his business and not get a 865 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: real job. His business was a passion project. On the side, 866 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 2: my dad was working fifty hours a week at two jobs. 867 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: So it does seem kind of like the sister is stubborn, 868 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: alrighty on to what ultimately happened with my sister. Despite 869 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 2: the chain of advice I sent her, she ignored me. 870 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: Still stubborn. 871 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 2: I regularly checked in with her over the next week 872 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 2: to see how she was, and she gave me one 873 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,280 Speaker 2: word replies until they ultimately stopped. I was growing concern 874 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 2: after she didn't pick up her cell, but then I 875 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 2: received a call from my parents. According to my mom, 876 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 2: my sister has returned home crying and begging for forgiveness. 877 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: You didn't even need to do that. Yeah, you could 878 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: have just been like, I'm sorry, please help me. 879 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 3: She has been through a lot, she was living in 880 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,240 Speaker 3: a car, she's pregnant. 881 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: But again, all she needed to do is just apologize. 882 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: That's all it took. You just had a lot of 883 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: pride for some reason. I guess he sometimes it just 884 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: has to bonky on the head. 885 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 3: I really got a boku on the head to figure 886 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 3: it out. 887 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, she had a serious talk with my parents where 888 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 2: she apologized for her behavior and promised to make a 889 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 2: mand let's go. My mom was very tearful as well. 890 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: They schedule the doctor's appointment for her immediately, and I 891 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 2: believe she went in the next day. 892 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: Wow. The parents, I'm telling you, the parents were They 893 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: were just like, you need to learn your lesson. Yeah. 894 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: I feel like they know, like they all know, Like 895 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: she's just not going to get it until she gets it. 896 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: And she got it finally. 897 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 3: I have no idea what made her finally break and 898 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 3: return home, So I texted her first. 899 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 2: I told her I was proud of her for taking 900 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 2: action and being mature, and asked her if anything happened 901 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: between her and her boyfriend. At first, she was pretty 902 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 2: stubborn and kept insisting that she was just over living 903 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 2: in a car, But after a while, she finally admitted 904 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 2: that her boyfriend had requested that she starts selling for 905 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 2: him if she wanted to keep living in his car. 906 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: Oh my didn't do that. 907 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 3: He was sneaking her so wanted her to become a 908 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 3: dealer's one. 909 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 1: There it is LMAO. 910 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 3: What an fing a hole. 911 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,959 Speaker 2: Glad my sister finally returned to her senses, she told 912 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 2: me she broke it off with him, and I sincerely 913 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 2: hope that's the truth. This past Monday, she got the 914 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 2: pills to successfully terminate her pregnancy. According to my mom, 915 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 2: she was that they do at asap, which was really 916 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 2: a breath of relief for all of us because we 917 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 2: were worried she might want to keep it, which I think. 918 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 2: I think she really was not ready for this. I mean, 919 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 2: what sixteen year old is ready? 920 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, for a child. But I'm glad that her parents 921 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 3: seemed to be supportive of her in this. 922 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: I think again, because it was such a cultural difference. Yeah, 923 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: with them being Chinese. When we heard disowned, we're like whoa. 924 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: But as Op stated, it's like just a it's actually 925 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: a very common thing. 926 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 3: You've been grounded. 927 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much your grounded.

Yeah, I think, And 929 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: it was reiterated ironically that she's stubborn and she she 930 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: just finally hit her and she understood, And I think 931 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: that's you just grow from there. 932 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 2: You know what, you can help us grow our lives 933 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 2: every week to at three pm PSD just to have 934 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 2: her profile. The future seems pretty bright right now for her. 935 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 2: My parents decided to pull her out of the public 936 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 2: school and send her to a progressive private school that 937 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: some of my close friends also went to. Nice It's 938 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 2: a fantastic school, and I think it'd be great for her. 939 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 2: She's officially started next Monday. I'm going to visit her 940 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 2: and my family this weekend and see how she's doing. 941 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 2: Edit forgot to add that the new school also has 942 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 2: a wonderful counseling department. I urged my parents to speak 943 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 2: to the head psychologist there and they did, and she 944 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 2: will be having mandatory weekly meetings with her and. 945 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 3: Another therapist at the school. What a great turnaround. 946 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: Great turnaround. 947 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, oh no, I feel so badly 948 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 2: for and then everything is fine.

And OPI, 955 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: in the situation that you were in, I think you 956 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: did the best you could have done you like, hey, 957 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: you offered advice.
