1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Hey, this is aam. This is John, your og Okay 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Storytime podcast host, and we got some delicious, juicy stories 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: coming up. 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: But if you want to hear that deliciousness, you know, 5 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 2: just stick around for a two minute break with a 6 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: word from our sponsors. 7 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 3: I discovered intimate videos of my husband with another woman. 8 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 3: He then blamed it on me. 9 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 4: It's your fault that I'm having an affair. 10 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 3: My husband has had the same phone for an eternity. 11 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 3: He went from the iPhone eight to the iPhone fifteen, 12 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 3: and the guy at the store told us to sink 13 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 3: his old phone onto the MacBook and back up all 14 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 3: his old info from his previous phone. Problem is, when 15 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 3: his new phone was down backing up, he had photos 16 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: and videos from before our relationship. By the way, this 17 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 3: comes from scorpiosb ten on the Okay Storytime subreddit. He 18 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: had intimate videos and photos with a lot of other girls. 19 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: I felt so embarrassed and crushed. I know I should 20 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: have left it alone, but I asked to see because 21 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure the dates were from before. 22 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: I'm more of a chunky woman. I'm pretty short and 23 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 3: all of my weight tends to go to my hips. 24 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: I'm already insecure about my body and looks, but now 25 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: I'm even more unsre sure of how he feels towards me. 26 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: Some of these girls were really skinny, and the pictures 27 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: were just repulsive. He had videos of girls giving him 28 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: you know, and he had several shots where you could 29 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 3: tell he obviously propped up his phone. I know all 30 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: of these videos were taken before he met me, and 31 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 3: I know iCloud saves your stuff automatically to the cloud 32 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 3: when you photograph or record something while on Wi Fi, 33 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 3: but I'm still so furious. I can't believe he would 34 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: have all these women on video. This also has my 35 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 3: head spiraling because I don't know if he's bored with 36 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 3: our spicy sleep life. I honestly feel like I can't 37 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: compete with the things he had on his phone. And 38 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: he's brought it up to me before that he wanted 39 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 3: to spice up our spicy sleep life. But now I 40 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: don't think I even want to have spicy sleep with him. 41 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 3: All I can think of and imagine are those friggin' 42 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: videos he had. How could these women let him record them? 43 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: It's just so shameless. I'm honestly considering moving back in 44 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: with my sister until my head clears. He's a great husband, 45 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: but I can't deal with this at the moment. I'm 46 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: completely disgusted by him. I don't even want to look 47 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: at him. And then there are some relevant comments and 48 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: a little bit more I want to out there because 49 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: I don't want to like shame people who are into 50 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: filming people consensually. Right, if you're filming people and they 51 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: don't know about it, that's messed up. Don't do that 52 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 3: and illegal. But some people have a mutual agreement it's consensual. 53 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 3: They want to film stuff. Now, obviously, if you're moving 54 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: into a new relationship, get rid of that. But like 55 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: she said, this backs it up to the cloud. You 56 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like, if. 57 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 4: You're in possession of things that make her partner comfortable. 58 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 5: All right, get rid of that. 59 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: I would get rid of them stuff like that, going 60 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 4: back reminiscing on. 61 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: It, No, not absolutely. If he's reminiscing on that, that's 62 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: a problem. Yeah, but I don't know if we know 63 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: that he's for sure doing that, right, But. 64 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 4: He said it would spice up their spicy sleep lifeform. 65 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: That what she was thinking. 66 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: That's what she was thinking. 67 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 4: Gotchatcha, I would have a conversation. 68 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: Let's have a conversation. 69 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: I sure had clears Yeah. 70 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: Right, relevant comment. He claims he forgot them. Part of 71 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: me believes him because there are things that I've seen 72 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: him delete that showed backed up onto his phone. Also, 73 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: all his text message from twenty fifteen till now showed 74 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: up on his phone somehow. I really hope he wasn't 75 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: rewatching them, but from his reaction, he was more confused 76 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: than anything else. He told me he's deleted those from 77 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: his devices, but didn't know they were still on his eCloud. 78 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: I want to talk to him about it, but I'm 79 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: just so upset. Maybe I have to give myself a 80 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: couple of days to not blow this out of proportion. 81 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: See that's what I'm saying, Like, you do need to 82 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: take a few days, because I do think this might 83 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: be blown. 84 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 4: Out of proportion. 85 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, as you guys suggested, I asked him to 86 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 3: delete them, and he didn't seem upset about it at all. 87 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: I can tell he was more worried about how I felt. 88 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: So we sat down, signed on to his iCloud from 89 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: the laptop, and we had to manually sit there and 90 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: delete over fifty videos and well over two hundred photos 91 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: of him and other women. All the videos seem to 92 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: be consensual, yay, So I'm not worried about him being 93 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: a weird, creepy guy. But it's still super weird to 94 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: me that someone would have videos of themselves having spicy sleep. 95 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: And this is what I'm saying, I don't think we 96 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: should shame people who were into that. It might not 97 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: be a youth thing, but some people are into it. 98 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: I'm starting to question it. My husband was a corn 99 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: star before he met me. Some of these girls look 100 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: like models and were taking the videos themselves. Why would 101 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: a lady do that? It just isn't morally right to me. 102 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: I asked if he was selling these videos, and he 103 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: reassured me that he would never put himself out there 104 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 3: because he wants a private life and wants to have 105 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: a family. Seems like you're like, shaming is something that 106 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: you don't understand, Like, op, that's just not something you 107 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: can connect with. That doesn't mean, you know what I'm saying, Like, 108 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: it doesn't mean. 109 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 5: It's a bad thing. 110 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: He had a stupid grin on his face and I 111 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: couldn't tell if he was joking. Or being serious but nervous. 112 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: He smiles when he's uncomfortable. And he told me that 113 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: he would ask me to delete anything that had my 114 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: exes in it, and he would want to watch the others. 115 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 3: I got more upset because I couldn't tell if he 116 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: was joking or was he trying to manipulate me into 117 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: letting him stay with some of them because they weren't 118 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: his exes. It bothers me because if he was being serious, 119 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: then he does not value women. Why doesn't he get jealous? 120 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 3: Why would anyone want to see their partner having spicy 121 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: sleep because it turns some people on. Everybody has different kings, 122 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: you know. I feel like he shrugged it off and 123 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: brought up the whole spicing up our spicy sleep lives? 124 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: Why now is he trying to flip this on me? 125 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 3: I could tell he was actually getting a little frustrated now, 126 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: But why why would he be upset? I'm the one 127 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 3: who just had to witness all this crap. 128 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: On his phone. 129 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: He brought how innocent I am, and that anytime he 130 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: tried to do anything out of the norm, I shut 131 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: him down. 132 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 5: He once asked me. 133 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: To let him you know up here, but I don't 134 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: see why anyone would get any pleasure from rubbing their 135 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: mmmm annamm, Like, why bring this up now? It had 136 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: nothing to do with the situation. His point was that 137 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 3: he felt like I was judging him. Yeah, because why 138 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: the f is there so many videos and pictures with 139 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: these women? He brought up how I made him feel 140 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: weird for liking feet. I don't understand how I can 141 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: make someone feel weird about something that's already weird enough. Okay, 142 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: olbe It sounds like you maybe like it's okay to 143 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: have your preferences, but some people have theirs, and let's 144 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: not shame people for their their case. 145 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: He's giving them more hard time. 146 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, why does any think that's weird? I give him 147 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 3: a good time down there. I give him spicy sleep 148 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: regularly when I'm not feeling insecure, So I don't see 149 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: why he would feel the need to spice things up. 150 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: Does he want to record videos with us as well? 151 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about it, seeing as 152 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 3: how many other women he's done it with. If I 153 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: was the only one, then that's different. But there's nothing 154 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: special about doing that with him because he's done it 155 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: so much. Kind of get that. I kind of get that. 156 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: If he's bored with me, why won't you just come 157 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: straight out and say it. I feel like at this 158 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: point he's settling to not hurt my feelings. I'm more 159 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: upset than hurt at this point because he tried to 160 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: flip things on me, and we're constantly flipping things on 161 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: y'all every weekday at three PMPSD. You can join his 162 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: live on our YouTube. Just tap our profile. I think 163 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 3: I desperately need to get away from him, maybe just 164 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: a day or two, and clear my mind. You guys 165 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: have given me a lot of good insight, but typing 166 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: this just infuriates me even more. I can't hold back 167 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 3: the tears, and I just keep getting flashes of the 168 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 3: pictures every time I look at him or close my eyes. 169 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: I can't stop thinking about them.

But I don't 178 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: know if it's fair to hold it against your partner 179 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: or to sh shame them for what they were into 180 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: before you. And I think intimacy and compatibility, Yeah, they're 181 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: big factors. 182 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, clear head, see how you feel about it. If 183 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: you're uncomfortable with it, try to work it out. Therapy. 184 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 6: My grandson's name, so I staged an intervention. I fifty 185 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 6: plus male, have a daughter twenty six female. He's currently 186 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 6: a TikTok influencer. Oh no, oh no, and pregnant with 187 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 6: a boy. She is obsessing with this influencing thing, everything 188 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 6: being about the numbers. Her husband has been evicted to 189 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 6: the attic okay because he ruins her aesthetic that is 190 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 6: for the videos. He isn't allowed to bring his items 191 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 6: or clothes outside of it, and whenever he as much 192 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 6: as forgets a cup on the table, she will scream. 193 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 6: My wife and I try to guide her into therapy, 194 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 6: and I've been paying for the appointments, but we do 195 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 6: not know if she has actually been going. Now she 196 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 6: is pregnant, which means it isn't just her and my 197 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 6: son in law's problem. It is also a problem for 198 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 6: my grandson. She wants no toys in the house for 199 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 6: similar reasons and has banned as for buying any. She 200 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 6: doesn't want colorful baby cloth because the baby will stand 201 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 6: out on her videos too much. 202 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 5: The baby's gonna upstage you. And then then there is. 203 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 6: The name Robin r A w p h y n 204 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 6: ny marve m A r v e I g h 205 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 6: Linter l y and t e r. And that was 206 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 6: for all the podcast listeners. That is Robin Marvey Linter. 207 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 7: That is the most atrocious spelling of any name I've 208 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 7: ever seen. 209 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 6: It literally looks like a keyboard smash. Why I appreciate 210 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 6: that the two middle names are comprised of the names 211 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 6: of both sets of grandparents, Marvin and Leigh, Lynn and Peter. 212 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 6: The amalgams are awful and Robin is her spelling of 213 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 6: Robin because she doesn't want her son to be a sidekick, 214 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 6: whatever that means. She doesn't care that he will get bullied, 215 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 6: that his name will be mispronounced, misspelled, and a nightmare 216 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 6: on any official capacity, that he will grow to be 217 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 6: an adult with the name instead of staying as a baby. 218 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 6: It was the last strong so I staged in intervention 219 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 6: after regular talking didn't work. I contacted everyone we both know, 220 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 6: and even posted on redditch to try and convince her 221 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 6: that it's an effing horrible idea and that she needs 222 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 6: to think of more than what will look nice. 223 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 5: For her tiktoks or get her more views. 224 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 6: She will have a child, and that child's needs and 225 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 6: well beings should be a priority. Naming him a ridiculous 226 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 6: word salad and depriving him of toys and joy is 227 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 6: not an environment suitable for a child. She called me 228 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 6: an a hole, and I called her delusional in return. 229 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 6: I really don't think I'm the a hole here, but 230 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 6: my wife's family seems to think I overreacted since it's 231 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 6: just a name. But if she's willing to do all 232 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 6: of this just for views on an app, what else 233 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 6: is she going to do to this child for the 234 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 6: sake of her influencing. 235 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 5: That's what I want to know. Am I the a hole? No? 236 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 6: Honestly, you need a step in here real quick. Figure 237 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 6: this out. 238 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: She's your husband, I don't know. 239 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 6: He just seems like he's in the attics. He's locked 240 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 6: in the attic. 241 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: Is anyone going to talk about that? 242 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 5: That's freaking up? What's what's what's the uh. Jane Eyre? 243 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: Was Jane Eyre in the attic? 244 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 6: No, his other wife was in the attic. I think 245 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 6: I'm not familiar. I think his wife was in the attic. 246 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 6: This is Jane Eyre. 247 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: I know someone who was in an attict but I 248 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't. 249 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 5: Think someone was in an attic. Edit. 250 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 6: Her and her husband have separated twice in the past, 251 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 6: but always end up together. They keep breaking up and 252 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 6: rekindling over and over again. They had an impromptu marriage 253 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 6: on Valentine's Day to heal their relationship as they now 254 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 6: have a child on the way. The TikTok thing has 255 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 6: been a frequent source of pain for them, and there 256 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 6: is an update. This is a bit anticlimactic. We had 257 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 6: a family meeting after my daughter's husband got off of 258 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 6: work and presented her the Reddit threads and as well 259 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 6: as some stories that people shared in the comments. She 260 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 6: was reading the comments for about an hour while they 261 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 6: kept pouring in and it overwhelmed her. Didn't help that 262 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 6: I kept responding to comments during this time, which was 263 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 6: stupid and inconsiderate of me. I did apologize to her, 264 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 6: but she doesn't have an inner to forgive me. At 265 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 6: this moment Sope, he's like reading comments where they're like 266 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 6: you can't have your kid on display online and hope 267 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 6: He's like, she's right, you. 268 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 7: Know, yeah, I just can't forgive you for having like 269 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 7: normal takes and for trying to like make me see 270 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 7: the light. 271 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: That's how terrible of. 272 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 5: It, how terrible of a father you are. 273 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 6: At first, she was very quiet before admitting that she 274 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 6: needed help. She said that she was struggling with feeling 275 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 6: fulfilled after her work was made remote back in the 276 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 6: original lockdown, and needed more things to do that separated 277 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 6: work from home. It's where the influencing came in. The 278 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 6: numbers going up gave her the same reward that work 279 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 6: used to, and she wanted to replicate it with a 280 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 6: mommy blog as her other ones stagnated. Her husband suggested 281 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 6: that she pick up art again and offered to buy 282 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 6: her art supplies.

His reasons 440 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: were that I wasn't there for him enough, like giving 441 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: him hugs. 442 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 5: Background. 443 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: We also had a few years of bedroom issues because 444 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 2: he wanted intimacy very often and I was closed off 445 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 2: dealing with emotional issues. I had felt very emotionally neglected 446 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: from early on in our relationship. For example, if I 447 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: was crying about something he said or did, he would 448 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: turn it around on me and basically tell me I 449 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: shouldn't be crying because whatever it is, it's my fault. Oh, 450 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 2: my goodness, that's just well, never good. No. Another one 451 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: of his reasons was that I wasn't there for him enough. 452 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: When he was going through gut issues background. It was 453 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: a confusing time. He had trouble eating anything and everything. 454 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: He was trying to figure out what worked for him, 455 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: and I just didn't know how else to help him. 456 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: So I supported him by taking him to the doctors 457 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: for an endoscopy and tried my best to emotionally support 458 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: him and being listening here and be the one primarily 459 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: taking care of the kit. For some reason, our arguments 460 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: started increasing. His behavior started changing before and early in 461 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: my pregnancy. 462 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 5: He started talking to a female friend he hadn't spoken 463 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 5: to in. 464 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: A decade, oh more often via Instagram, DMS and over 465 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: the phone, and we started hanging out with her and 466 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 2: her family, but their interactions were always weird. She seemed 467 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: flirty to me, touching him long hugs, smiling gaily with him, 468 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: and would DM him things like. 469 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 5: I forgot how easy it is to talk to you up, don't. 470 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: Talk to him, don't talk to and he would tell 471 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: her things like how her personality was nice, bubbly, and cheery. 472 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 2: Then he started talking to girls at the gym and 473 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: adding them on Instagram. These girls are gorgeous, by the way, No, 474 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 2: I'm not too ugly myself, but they are younger, good bodies, etc. 475 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: He also started smoking and hiding it from me. I 476 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: was more upset about the lying and hiding, and just 477 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: concerned about because I was pregnant and a baby was coming, 478 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 2: but I was willing to learn about its possible effects 479 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: or how. 480 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,239 Speaker 5: To avoid it. 481 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: Then, after a stressful month for him at home with 482 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: our arguments, pregnancy, responsibilities at work, helping his parents, his 483 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 2: persistent gut issues, and mental health, he left. 484 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 5: He just left. 485 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: He left during the pregnancy. Yeah, during the third trimester. 486 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: He slept in his car, stayed in hotels, and eventually 487 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: leased an apartment that he began to furnish. Meanwhile, the 488 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 2: kids and I were left at home without his support 489 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: at what felt like a very critical time. 490 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 5: I had a healthy pregnancy, but was very tired. 491 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: It's had a busy schedule and I was working full time, 492 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 2: et cetera. He would come and go from our house, 493 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 2: sometimes taking the kids to school. We don't know when 494 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: to expect him or for how long.

I have two children, ages seven 687 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 6: to eleven. I own a business with my wife that 688 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 6: we started two years after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. 689 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 6: Oh wow, which was four years after we were married. 690 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 6: We have grown the business to a certain point together 691 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 6: in March of this year, my wife stopped working suddenly 692 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 6: because of her disease and the medicine she was taking. Also, 693 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 6: she learned of a major surgery she was having that 694 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 6: was scheduled in May. The two children we have met 695 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 6: through the foster system and ultimately adopted each of them. 696 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 6: With her disease, we lost our ability to have children 697 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 6: and our ability to have intercourse. In addition to the 698 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 6: loss of her physical ability to have intercourse, her disease 699 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 6: and the treatments have removed her hormonal characteristics that create 700 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 6: desire or attraction to me or anyone. When she left 701 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 6: the business, I was shouldered with performing her job in 702 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 6: addition to mine. It has been challenging and stressful for 703 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 6: me to handle not only the work, but the full 704 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 6: burden of supporting our household financially. In retrospect, I've been 705 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 6: an emotional and physical health decline for several years. My 706 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 6: emotional state has been up and down with the result 707 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 6: of me not acting as my best self around my family, 708 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 6: my wife, and my work. I like to think that 709 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 6: I have managed well given the circumstances. I've grown our business, 710 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 6: stabilized the two jobs I am responsible for, become a 711 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 6: leader in philanthropy in our community, and I mostly show 712 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 6: up as a great father to my children. The last 713 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 6: two years have been particularly bad for me. The industry 714 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 6: we are in went into a period of decline and 715 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 6: reduced our business revenues substantially. I had to make some 716 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 6: very tough decisions with the business, and the stress and 717 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 6: weight of the decisions weighed on me constantly. At the 718 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 6: same time, we purchased a new home, a significantly upgraded 719 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 6: and more costly home that we renovated. The last two 720 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 6: years living with me and what I have been dealing 721 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 6: with has been unpleasant. I would imagine, Wow, just a 722 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 6: lot going is a lot to deal with. It's like, 723 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 6: how do you I mean, like there's more to this story, 724 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 6: but how do you even And I don't even know 725 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 6: how to handle this because it's like you feel so 726 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 6: guilty for thinking about divorce, right, but it's also were. 727 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 5: Doing terribly Yeah, it's kind of just like really bad timing. Yeah. 728 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 6: My wife and I have had challenges in our own relationship. 729 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 6: Once we had children and we worked together, there were 730 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 6: many conflicts that arose between us. I think our relationship 731 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 6: change from a marriage to a partnership where we were 732 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 6: united in raising our kids and running our business. Both 733 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 6: of us were very independent people when we met and 734 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 6: we were married. One of the most attractive characteristics I 735 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 6: saw on her was her fierce independence. My independence derived 736 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 6: from a drive to set my own path. At one 737 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 6: point in my life, I felt compelled to either let 738 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 6: life come to me or to resolve to take control 739 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 6: of my path. The independence came from me choosing a 740 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 6: path very different from anyone in my family or support system, 741 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 6: which meant I would need to figure things out myself. 742 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 6: When cancer entered our relationship, my wife, who was fiercely independent, 743 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 6: became dependent on me and those around her. She not 744 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 6: only lost control of her own health, she became for 745 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 6: some time dependent on others. Especially when I process what 746 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 6: it meant for my wife to be diagnosed with serious 747 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 6: cancer and what it meant for our future, I jumped 748 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 6: head first into supporting her. In hindsight, it seems that 749 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 6: in one moment in my life, I completely altered my 750 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 6: life trajectory and began to focus on helping her through 751 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 6: the cancer treatment and then the journey to become parents. 752 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 6: In twenty twenty, like the many other awful things happened 753 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 6: that year, my wife and I learned that her disease 754 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 6: has started growing again after five years of no cancer progression. 755 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 6: It was on my birthday that year that we found out. 756 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 6: It seems this moment became a turning point in my 757 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 6: relationship with my wife and also just to like point out, 758 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 6: this is like years of dealing with this cancer that 759 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 6: is coming back. Yeah, that's so hard. 760 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really hard because I feel like at that point, 761 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, when you finish up with it, 762 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: you get more hopeful, like go, okay, it's done. Yeah, 763 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 2: but then the fact that it keeps coming back, it 764 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: just seems like that would be so hard to keep 765 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: that helpe around. 766 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 6: In slow progression. Over the next four years after the 767 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 6: cancer growing, there were three other times she found out 768 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 6: the disease was progressing. I cannot put myself in her 769 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 6: shoes facing a disease that will eventually kill her. After 770 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 6: twenty twenty, now she faced her future with cancer as 771 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 6: a mother for the first time. Our relationship was okay 772 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 6: up until that point. When you strip away intimacy and 773 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 6: spicy sleep desire from a relationship, it's like removing a 774 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 6: leg from a table. It is hard for the table 775 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 6: to stand up, and although it might be upright, it 776 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 6: lacks strength and stability. And after the second reoccurrence of 777 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 6: cancer after twenty twenty, her behavior is starting to change. 778 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 6: She owned her focus on our two children and their lives. 779 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 6: This is completely understandable when a mother faced with her 780 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 6: mortality in the form of a deadly disease would naturally 781 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 6: focus on providing a loving support of her children. I 782 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 6: think she began curating the children's life as happy, warm 783 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 6: and peaceful. She was working to create a life for them, 784 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 6: void of conflict, where she and they could experience warm 785 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 6: quality time. Over time, her diligence in creating this life 786 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 6: for our children started to alter her parenting style, specifically, 787 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 6: her style of discipline change, and I was not I 788 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 6: not kept abreast of how or what was changing. Probably 789 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 6: I'm assuming she did not want to discipline them, Yeah, yeah, 790 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 6: because she was like, I want everything to be perfect 791 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 6: and happy, and then to only remember the best parts 792 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 6: about the relationship with me. 793 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that's just so complicated and so heavy. Yeah, 794 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 5: and putting all that parenting burden on Ope. Yeah, yard right. 795 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 6: In parallel to these changes happening, I was entering the 796 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 6: most stressful period of time of my life as a 797 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 6: business owner. I hadn't noticed it while it was happening, 798 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 6: but she began to drift further and further away from 799 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 6: me personally. The change in parenting style, my stress and 800 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 6: the change in the way we discipline our children started 801 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 6: creating conflict. My parenting style was consistent over time. We 802 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 6: sought insight for my child's therapist on how to handle 803 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 6: specific situations of discipline, and I followed this advice as prescribed. 804 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 6: My wife chose not to. This difference became obvious in 805 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 6: her home because when I went interact with my children 806 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 6: in a time of discipline, she would correct me and 807 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 6: criticize me in front of the children. Oh wow, this 808 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 6: has been the source of ninety percent of the conflict 809 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 6: in our home for year years now. Free clinicians, two 810 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 6: marriage counselors, and a child therapist advise that my wife's 811 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 6: behavior by criticizing my parenting in front of the children 812 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 6: was not appropriate. Nonetheless, she continued this behavior. 813 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: It's just kind of known that, like you can't like 814 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 2: if another teacher maybe messed up on something like maybe 815 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: just didn't give the right instruction or something like that. 816 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 2: You can't say that they did that in front of 817 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 2: the kids, you know what I mean. 818 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 5: It's like you talk to them about it and you say, hey, 819 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 5: I noticed this. Yeah, I don't have. 820 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: To undermine the teaching because then the kids will notice 821 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 2: that and then start to think like, oh, there's problems, 822 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 2: and then they'll get stressed out or whatever. 823 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 5: Like in this situation especial, that's yeah. 824 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 6: That's what's happening, especially when you also have the added 825 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 6: thing of them watching their mother go through. 826 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 5: This like disease. Yeah, like that's just hard. 827 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 6: Her method of correcting me and criticizing me and my 828 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 6: parenting in front of the children impacted my relationship with 829 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 6: my children. I reminded, begged, and pleaded with her to 830 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 6: stop doing this, but the behavior never stopped or even 831 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 6: slowed down at all. It reached a point where I 832 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 6: felt so helpless when it happened. I would get enraged 833 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 6: in front of her at the kids. I would yell 834 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 6: and shout and use curse words in my reactions. I 835 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 6: would overreact substantially, and my behavior is regrettable. I never 836 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 6: physically touched anyone in my outbursts. I would refrain from 837 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 6: calling names, but I would yell loudly, and I would 838 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 6: direct my anger and frustration at my wife and the 839 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 6: consistent bad behavior that I felt helpless to deal with 840 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 6: through normal, healthy methods. These outbursts were not habitual and 841 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 6: would occur maybe once a month on average. When I 842 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 6: would have the outbursts, my wife would focus only on 843 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 6: my behavior, on me, and whatever the situation was that 844 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 6: led me to parent, the children would be erased and 845 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 6: I would be the sole and only focus of hers 846 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 6: From then on, she attempted multiple times to record my 847 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 6: outbursts without me knowing, and my pleas for to stop 848 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 6: the bad behavior were ignored. My bad behavior did not 849 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 6: align with her vision of a house filled with peace 850 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 6: and kindness, and over the last year and a half 851 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 6: she has become extremely distant from me personally. Over the 852 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 6: last two years, I have been struggling with stress, anxiety, 853 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 6: and mild depression. She became cold and disconnected from me 854 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 6: over time. In my lowest times over the last two years, 855 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 6: I begged her for support, asked her to show me 856 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 6: some positive support, some acknowledgment of what I do for 857 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 6: the family. I felt what I needed was a spouse 858 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 6: who was in my corner and on my team. My 859 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 6: requests for support from her were ignored. I remember on 860 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 6: multiple occasions when she asked me, what do you mean 861 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 6: my support? I don't know what you want me to do, 862 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 6: even though he is constantly telling me, yeah, that sounds. 863 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 5: Like he's being pretty clear about it. Yeah. 864 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 6: This is when I started to feel slighted or taken 865 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 6: advantage of. I have been there, supportive of my wife 866 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 6: for goals, ambitions, and desire to have a family. I 867 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 6: often put aside my own needs and desires and support 868 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 6: of our relationship. I remained faithful to her despite having 869 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 6: the full desire for spicy sleep intimacy. I took my 870 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 6: marriage vows very seriously, and I feel I have lived 871 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 6: them to the best of my ability. Now, when I 872 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 6: need my spouse, this person isn't there for me in 873 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 6: any way. In fact, she has become my biggest critic, 874 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 6: taking every opportunity to criticize my decisions, my behavior, and 875 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 6: my work and what I say. There is no one 876 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 6: in my life that is more of a negative fixture 877 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 6: than she is. She has become the very. 878 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 5: Opposite of what I need in a spouse. 879 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 6: Wow, there is a little bit more, But like pausing 880 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 6: just to take all of that in because I think 881 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 6: at this point, I honestly think maybe separation is the way, 882 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 6: like you can still be there for her as like 883 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 6: a friend, right, and as like as she's the mother 884 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 6: of children and like going through an incredibly hard time. Yeah, 885 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 6: and I can't imagine how that, you know, because going 886 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 6: through cancer and also if she's going through chemo and treatment, 887 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 6: that can change your personality absolutely, but that doesn't need 888 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 6: like if it is affecting you and your ability to 889 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 6: take care of your guysids, then it's like at that point, 890 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 6: it's like, maybe separation is needed for you guys to 891 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 6: both function. In January, before she stepped away from the business, 892 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 6: she learned the latest reoccurrence of cancer growth and the 893 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 6: impending surgery that would happen a few months later. It 894 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 6: was around this time when she started to change dramatically. 895 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 6: Before she was much more passive and negative treatment of me. 896 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 6: She was more of just an unsupportive spouse before January. 897 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 6: After January, she became more assertive in her negative treatment 898 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 6: of me. She intentionally ignored me, taking every opportunity to 899 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 6: harshly criticize me, and has become completely void of any 900 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 6: empathy for me as a person. I learned a few 901 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 6: weeks later that she was confiding in her friends about 902 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 6: me and our relationship. She would share only the negative 903 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 6: aspects of me and our relationship with those select few friends. 904 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 6: Some of these friends were also my friends or even 905 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 6: family members. I started to notice that I was being 906 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,760 Speaker 6: treated very differently from some of them. I also noticed 907 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 6: that she was emboldened in her criticisms of me. Her 908 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 6: vision of what was going on in our life seemed 909 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 6: to be so narrowly focused on the negative parts of me. 910 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 6: There was no recognition of my feelings, the work I do, 911 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 6: the responsibility I have, and the ninety nine percent of 912 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 6: our lives that I am supportive and a great doubt 913 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 6: but we You could support us by joining us Live 914 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 6: every week to have three PMP stages dubber profile. 915 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 5: There you go. 916 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 6: It's it's really really unfair for her to go to 917 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 6: your friends and family and put this all on. 918 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 5: You, right right, especially when they're his friends. They're his 919 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 5: friends and friends. It's just like, now, come on. 920 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 6: This continues today and I feel tru Because of our 921 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 6: business situation, a divorce would destroy us financially. It would 922 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 6: set us back five to eight years. My kids would 923 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 6: not be able to stay in the school therein the 924 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 6: house we live and would be sold, and the lifestyle 925 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 6: they live would be dramatically different, Not to mention the 926 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 6: division of time with my kids. My kids have become 927 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 6: my only source of joy and happiness in my life. 928 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 6: Removing them from my life at least fifty percent of 929 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 6: the time would ruin me. The trauma divorce would cause 930 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 6: in my kids lives is lives is substantial, in my opinion, 931 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 6: an unnecessary trauma considering the additional trauma they will likely 932 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 6: experience when my wife's cancer takes her life and that 933 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 6: is the end of that story. Wow, but I think 934 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 6: definitely talking to a therapist about this, Yes, it is 935 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 6: for yourself and possibly a couples therapist. 936 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 5: Yes, to work out how we move through this. 937 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 6: I mean, I totally understand the financial burden of divorce, 938 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 6: but also it's like questioning, is your wife and your 939 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 6: like conflict?

It's 947 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 2: like sometimes parents who stay together instead of getting divorced 948 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 2: is actually much more harmful than just having divorced. 949 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 6: Parent because it's like, Okay, now we can be the 950 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 6: best people that are like possible for our kids rather 951 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 6: than constantly you know, eating away at each other, right, because. 952 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 2: Then they'll have the physical distance too, and so and 953 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 2: that always like calms things down. 954 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, like I think that would totally help. 955 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: I think so, Sam here og host.

My fiance kept commenting how good 987 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 2: they smelled and how badly he wants our clothes to 988 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 2: smell like this, dude, I can't talk nice. It's nice 989 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 2: when clothes smell nice, but it's also nice to have 990 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 2: a living fianza n is. 991 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 5: Alive, right, Like, come on, let's weigh these options. 992 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 2: I sorted through them, and after I was around halfway done, 993 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 2: I noticed that I felt kind of off. 994 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 5: My hands felt weird, my body felt wrong. 995 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 2: So I washed every body part that touched those clothes 996 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 2: and refused to touch them without gloves. 997 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 5: My fiance bought for me, so. 998 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 2: He definitely knows that I'm still allergic against some detergents. Well, 999 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 2: he still decided to use the gifted laundry detergent on 1000 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 2: our towels. I didn't notice until I started folding them 1001 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 2: and putting them away. 1002 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 5: I'm confused.

At first, I was kind of afraid that 1006 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 2: I am now allergic against one of the safe ones, 1007 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 2: until I noticed the gifted one was opened and kind 1008 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 2: of shoved into the corner. Our other two are also 1009 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 2: opened and readily available, So I just don't get it. 1010 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 2: I texted him and asked if he used the gifted 1011 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 2: laundry detergent for anything. 1012 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 5: He said, yes, what's the big deal, girl? I think 1013 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 5: you know what the big deal is, likely got her 1014 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 5: protective gloves for it. Like what. 1015 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 2: I told him that that's not funny and he is 1016 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 2: potentially playing with the life of our unborn son and 1017 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 2: mine and why he thought that now, of all times 1018 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 2: is the right time to test my allergy again he 1019 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 2: called me a drama queen and ignored me after so 1020 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 2: I changed my will. My fiance gets nothing now, either 1021 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,800 Speaker 2: my part of the house nor my other assets. Everything 1022 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,720 Speaker 2: goes to my son with my family as trustees until 1023 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: he is of age. If something were to happen to 1024 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 2: both my son and me, my cousins will be the 1025 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 2: sole inheritors. My fiance was originally meant to be the 1026 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 2: trustee with different guidelines to make my son's life and 1027 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 2: his pretty comfortable. So I trashed the old will, sent 1028 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 2: the new version to my lawyer to make him look 1029 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 2: over it and plan to get a notary as soon 1030 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 2: as possible. 1031 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 5: And there is an update. 1032 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 6: I honestly don't agree with this. I think you'll like 1033 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 6: break up with him. 1034 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to this, but I see it's definitely not. 1035 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 5: Like the solution. Yeah, it's not all right. So now 1036 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,240 Speaker 5: for update. Hey, it's been a while and I wanted 1037 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 5: to give you all an update. It's very long. Honestly, 1038 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 5: a lot has happened. I had a rather. 1039 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 2: Uneventful conversation with him after he returned home. He justified 1040 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 2: his usage of the laundry detergent with the presence of 1041 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 2: cleaning towels in between the normal towels. I asked him 1042 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,399 Speaker 2: how that matters. Well, apparently it's because I wasn't going 1043 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 2: to dry myself with those. 1044 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 5: But I wasn't satisfied with. 1045 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 2: That answer and asked about the normal towels, as there 1046 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 2: were only two for cleaning and over ten normal ones, 1047 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 2: and how the smell of the cleaning towels is even 1048 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 2: relevant because, like he said, there for cleaning. He didn't 1049 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 2: answer and started ignoring me. That was answer enough for me, 1050 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 2: though I knew it was BS, but I don't know. 1051 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 2: I had kind of hoped for a better excuse. Not 1052 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 2: going to get a better issus than this guy. Not 1053 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 2: really if he thinks that your allergy is like a 1054 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 2: lot play around with, Yeah, he's not very smart. Clearly, 1055 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 2: I was kind of withdrawn from him at this point 1056 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 2: and decided to watch his behavior towards me to figure 1057 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 2: out what was going on. I thought that I might 1058 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 2: get an answer somehow somewhere, because he was my best 1059 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 2: friend and I just didn't want to believe that I 1060 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: mattered that little to him. The next incident happened soon after. 1061 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: Though I was carrying back a rather heavy drawer. I 1062 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 2: had to deep clean it. Meal worms escaped into the enclosure. 1063 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 2: I'm using them as food for my spider. Okay, interesting, 1064 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 2: cool A little side note. As the drawer was so heavy, 1065 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 2: I struggled a lot, but he was busy working on 1066 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 2: some shelf. I asked him if he could help me, 1067 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 2: but he didn't react, so I asked him where should 1068 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: I put the drawer, As he was sitting in front 1069 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 2: of the shelf thingy where it belongs. 1070 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 5: He told me to just put it on the floor. 1071 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 5: So I did. 1072 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 2: What I didn't see in time, though, was my car trup. 1073 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 2: I put the drawer on the vacuum tube. Nothing broke, 1074 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 2: and even if it's mine, he wasn't using it at 1075 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 2: the moment or anything. It was just laying in the 1076 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,720 Speaker 2: middle of the room. He lost his crap. He asked 1077 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,720 Speaker 2: me if I can't even use my one brain cell 1078 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,720 Speaker 2: and other stuff, implying I'm dumb. 1079 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 6: That hurt the audacity to imply she's dumb. Yeah, when 1080 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 6: you're the one like putting her life at risk with 1081 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,359 Speaker 6: her like bented things right, but. 1082 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 2: Also like you're blocking the way to the correct placement 1083 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 2: of this drawer and already pregnant. 1084 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 5: She's eight months pregnant. Baby brain is a real thing. 1085 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 5: She might not be able to see where it is. 1086 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 6: Yes, she might have a big belly, yes, and a 1087 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 6: big drawer carrying yeah, like in her hands more than 1088 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 6: I would like to admit. 1089 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 2: I started silently crying and went to the living room. 1090 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 2: He followed me quite some time later, got upset with 1091 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 2: me because I was still sad, and said it was 1092 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 2: just a joke. I told him I didn't find it 1093 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 2: funny and it hurt me. If he could just apologize, 1094 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 2: please spoiler. He did not, just said it was a joke, 1095 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 2: and we haven't had an argument before, so he didn't 1096 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 2: say it out of spite, but in a joking manner. 1097 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 2: I wish I could say it stopped there, but I 1098 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 2: fell and had mild cramps in a bloody me. Oh no, 1099 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 2: I called him on the phone because I don't have 1100 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 2: any friends in this country yet and he was the 1101 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 2: only one available. 1102 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 5: Plus I knew his boss would let him go as 1103 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 5: he's your fiance and the father of your child, right like. 1104 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 2: He's the one to be there, as he is a 1105 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 2: very kind man and he was supposed to end his 1106 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 2: work day thirty minutes from then.
