Our dad passed away after a 23 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 3: rough battle with cancer a week ago. It was pretty 24 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: bad and my family is mourning right now. We are 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 3: a pretty tight knit family, so we're reeling at the moment. 26 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: We had a funeral at a local church and it 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: was really nice and beautiful. I personally do not hold 28 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: the same beliefs, but I respect other people having their 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: own opinions. I do not take offense or make it 30 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 3: a personal mission to somehow prove them wrong, which is 31 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: something my boyfriend has a tendency to do. He is 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: more judgmental and is curbed back a lot, but it 33 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 3: is still there. Yesterday I got a phone call from 34 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: my older sister, female twenty eight, in tears because my 35 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 3: boyfriend started going at her regarding her faith. She is 36 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: the same as our parents. He sent her a message 37 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: on Facebook offering his condolences since they had not really 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: had a chance to talk after my dad's passing. She 39 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: thanked him and said that our dad was not in 40 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 3: pain now and that he was with God at peace. 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: My boyfriend replied, you're entitled to your opinion. I just 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: don't feel the same way your God. 43 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm immediately bringing up with that person, immediately breaking up. 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: You're annoying. Oh you're so annoying, and you don't know 45 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: that that's not the time to be like push his 46 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: glasses up. 47 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: Actually, actually, good doesn't exist in your dad's like just 48 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: still freaking in the ground. 49 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: That's awful. 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: Good. Go sit in the corner and think about what 51 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: you just said, because. 52 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: You suck, which you know, it's less scary when you 53 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: think about thinking in a corner. Huh, timeouts are less scary. No, 54 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: I was probably gonna get too real. Let's keep going. 55 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: My boyfriend replied, you're entitled to your opinion. I just 56 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 3: don't feel the same way. This really upset my sister 57 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: because it was not the time or place for that comment, 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: and I agree with her. She told him that it 59 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: was not very appropriate to make remarks like that to 60 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: someone who had recently lost a parent. I guess my 61 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: boyfriend took that as an opportunity to turn it into 62 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: a debate, and my sister ignored him. Yeah. No, genuinely, 63 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: I would be breaking up with that boyfriend if he 64 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: said something that like that to my sibling when they 65 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: just lost someone. 66 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because it's like you're also kind of saying 67 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: it to like everybody, like even though I'm an atheist, 68 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: it's like I don't. 69 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: Like, I don't think that I need to be right. 70 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: So I'm going to tell you that I don't think 71 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: that your family member is, you know, in heaven or whatever, 72 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: because I don't believe in that. 73 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. It's like it's like just like being like, well, 74 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: technically it's like like imagine like the what was the 75 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: Titan the Titan submersible, Like imagine like someone is like 76 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: a family member was in there, and they're like, I 77 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: can't believe my family member exploded at the bottom of 78 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: the ocean. And then someone goes, well, actually, technically it 79 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: was an implosion. It's like it's just not the thing 80 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: to say. You go, yeah, I'm sorry, that's terrible. I'm sorry. 81 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: No. I have a lot of people in my life, 82 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: family and friends who are religious and I am not. 83 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: And when they say, oh, you know, like i've lost 84 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: this person I think they're here, like can you pray 85 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: for me? I say, of course, you. 86 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: Don't do a spit take. Yeah, pray pray who who 87 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: you mean? Pray to who? The clouds? 88 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's ridiculous. She showed me the messages and I 89 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: just felt so angry. It is one thing to not 90 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: agree with someone, It is another thing entirely to be 91 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: rude about it, especially at a time like this. My 92 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: family has never pressured him or made him feel awkward 93 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 3: about being an atheist. When I told them I was one, 94 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: they nodded and told me they loved me. It is 95 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: not even about faith to me. It is about the 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: quality of a person. In my opinion, when someone tries 97 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: to push their ideologies on another person, whether they are Atheist, Christian, Muslim, 98 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: or anything else, it shows deep rooted insecurity. I feel 99 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: really angry at my boyfriend, and this feels like a 100 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: deal breaker for me. We have only been dating a 101 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: few months. Yeah, he's gone, He's a few months. Get him, mady. 102 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: I'd rather have a few moths, yeah, than a few 103 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: months with this guy. 104 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: I have a few moths in my closet than this 105 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: guy in my room. 106 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: I'd rather have moths in my hair, moths everywhere, instead 107 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: of one more moment with this man. 108 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: Although we have known each other for a few years 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: and I'm realizing how utterly grating he. 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: Is, like a cheese grater. 111 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: It is not a blaze. 112 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm realizing now. He's sort of like a hollow metal 113 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: box with different grooves and incisions in it. 114 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: That just like, really take the skin. 115 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: I've been dating a grater this whole time. I'm a 116 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: greater dater. I'm a greater dat. 117 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: It is not a blatant nails on a chalkboard kind 118 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: of irritating, but more subtle.

Yeah, that's kind of crazy, so weird reason. 122 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: He complains constantly about all of this but does nothing 123 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: to change his circumstances. He even got mad at me 124 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,559 Speaker 3: last Christmas season because he bought me a five dollars 125 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: game as a gift and I did not buy him 126 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: a sixty dollars We had only started dating about a 127 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 3: month before that, and I did not feel comfortable spending 128 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: that much money on a new boyfriend. I did not 129 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: expect anything from him at all because of how anti 130 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 3: Christmas he was.

Yesterday I took my sister and my mom out 193 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: at dinner and veg out. I let both of them 194 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: know that I was dumping my boyfriend, and my mom 195 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: wasn't aware of the reason. My sister only told me 196 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 3: what happened, and my sister said uncharacteristically because he's a weener, 197 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: which surprised her mom. I explained to her what happened, 198 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 3: and her mom just shook her head and said, he 199 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: clearly isn't happy with himself if he did that, I'll 200 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: pray for him, but good riddance. Nice mom. 201 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: Nice response, good Mom. Good mood mom response Queen, good mom. 202 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 3: This morning, I blocked him on every conceivable social media 203 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: and email and gave him a call. He acted like 204 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 3: nothing was wrong, and I confronted him in regards to 205 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: what he said to my sister. He apologized and said 206 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: that he was wasted so he had no real control 207 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: over what he was saying. This pissed me off even 208 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: more and told him that it was an excuse for 209 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: being an a hole. He knew what he said because 210 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: he said I knew if to up after our conversation 211 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: ended abruptly, but made zero effort to apologize to my 212 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: sister in the following days. I told him that he 213 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: was only apologizing now because he was in the crap 214 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 3: house yeah, and only regrets that he was getting yelled at. 215 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't imagine the amount I would have to 216 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: drink to drop that on somebody like I would have 217 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: to be in a state where no one's trying to 218 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: even have a conversation with me. They're like, we need 219 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: to take you somewhere like maybe the hospital. 220 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: And also to after the fact, know that you made 221 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 3: a mistake and then not being able to own up 222 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: to it. I don't really understand his logic. My sister 223 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: is a sweetheart, and I guess he assumed she wasn't 224 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 3: going to say anything to anyone. He kept making up 225 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: excuses that he was stressed out because he doesn't have 226 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: a job. Well, go get a job. Maybe you don't 227 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: have time for a relationship because you need to go 228 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 3: get a job. 229 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true that he was wasted, so he really 230 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 5: wasn't him who said it, and that I should just 231 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 5: accept the apology and move on because clearly it was 232 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 5: just a mistake, nothing malicious. 233 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 3: I reiterated that he made zero effort to reach out 234 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: for two days to apologize to her or to come 235 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: clean to me about what happened. The only remorse that 236 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: he's expressing is because I was pissed at him. I 237 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: told him that we were and that I had no 238 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: interest in maintaining a friendship with him. He began to 239 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: argue with me that I couldn't break up with him 240 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 3: because I was angry and this was just a heat 241 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: of the moment decision. He actually said that if I 242 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: dumped him at the moment, it didn't count and that 243 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 3: we were still together. So actually it doesn't work right now. 244 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: Ope. 245 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: He's like, I'm breaking up with you, and he's like, 246 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: you can't break up with me because, uh, it's opposite day. 247 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually opposite year, opposite decade. Sorry, so you're 248 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: stuck with me for the rest of your life. Actually, 249 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: that's how that works. The science. Science told me that. 250 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 3: Science told me that, and I believe in science. He 251 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: didn't agree to the breakup, so thus it meant that 252 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 3: our relationship wasn't over and that I had to cool 253 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: down and talk with a calmer head. Dude, this is 254 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,119 Speaker 3: a marriage. 255 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: I would love to see that, like how that works 256 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: in just like other like even in a marriage, like 257 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: I know sometimes you have to do like separation and 258 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: stuff and whatever. But it's like, yeah, I don't know, 259 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: Like imagine that. The bank's like, we're repossessing your house 260 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: and he's just like, no, well actually I don't think 261 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: you should, so you can't. There we go. Hmmm. 262 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: Apparently he thinks me waiting a few days to tell 263 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: him no again will be a more credible decision. I 264 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: noped out of that and told him he had to 265 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: respect what I wanted and that a breakup absolutely does 266 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: not have to be mutual. No person can hold another 267 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: person hostage in a relationship when they want to leave 268 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: it. It was fundamentally wrong. I kind of felt bad because 269 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: in the end he was in tears, adamantly saying that 270 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: it wasn't really his fault. 271 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: Shut up, dude, I did your fault. Did somebody put 272 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: all of the booze down your throat? 273 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: He was wasted and had no control over his filter. 274 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: You were wasted at like the event that was being 275 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 3: held for the loss of your girlfriend's father. 276 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice, pretty bad look for you then, No 277 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: matter what, that's still your fault. 278 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: I held my own and said my goodbyes. Probably seems 279 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: cold hearted, but my family comes first, especially over butt hats. 280 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 3: But there is a little bit left to the story. 281 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: Any final thoughts. 282 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: Your boyfriend's insane. Yeah, your ex boyfriend's in saying it's 283 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: crazy to think that you will. We can't break up. 284 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't agree to it. 285 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: He's so self absorbed. He's so self absorbed he thinks 286 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: that he can talk himself out of anything. 287 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely insane insanity. 288 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's wild, But we've got a little bit left. 289 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 3: It's evening now, and I had a day devoted to 290 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: my family and our pugs. I didn't realize how much 291 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: of a downer my ex was, and I feel like 292 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't 293 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 3: have to worry about his mountain of self created problems. 294 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: Looking back, I think he held on because I'm financially 295 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: secure and the gears of my life are in motion, 296 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: the wheels wetted by achievements where he hasn't. He hasn't 297 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: made any effort to contact me or any family since 298 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: our last interaction. I hope for the best for him. 299 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 3: Thank you all for your wonderful, encouraging comments and top comments. 300 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: Gold End says, So, I'm a bit late to the party, 301 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 3: but I want to share an anecdote about my husband 302 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 3: from back when we were dating. He's not athist. He 303 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: identifies more with being agnostic. That being said. A few 304 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 3: years ago, one of my cousins passed away and I 305 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: invited him to come along with me to the funeral. 306 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 3: My uncle and aunt are very deeply religious people, which 307 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 3: he knows. I was aware that there was going to 308 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: be a very deep religious vibe over the entire event, 309 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: and I told him I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. 310 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 3: He told me not to worry about it. Over the 311 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: course of the week leading up to the funeral, I 312 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 3: caught him reading the Bible from time to time. The 313 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: day of the funeral, he gives a card to my 314 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 3: grieving relatives. After the event, my boyfriend went home and 315 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: I went with my parents to my uncle and aunt's house. 316 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: They were looking over the messages and cards people had left. 317 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: When they got to my boyfriend's card, my aunt started crying. 318 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: Inside the card, he had written, the righteous perish, and 319 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: no one ponders it in his heart. Devout men are 320 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are 321 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk 322 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: up right enter into peace. They find rest as they 323 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: lie in passing Isaiah fifty seven one through two. My 324 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 3: condolence is his name. That's really really sweet. 325 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very thoughtful guy. That's very thoughtful, so thoughtful. 326 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Little goober imagined if he opened the card and just 327 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: it was like a doodle of him. 328 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. 329 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: All your religions are fake. 330 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 3: That would be pretty awful. My agnostic boyfriend took time 331 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 3: out of his day to not only learn about Christianity 332 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: and the Bible.

P says we all got 432 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: a chance to study what we wanted and try a 433 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: career at it, but all three of us got sucked 434 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: into the family business. My middle sister b put into 435 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: the family business first because she picked up a pill 436 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: popping habit in college to the extent that people in 437 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: her college course told my parents to do something that 438 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: was around when I was sitting my final year in school. 439 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: Bee has had a lot of substance use issues to 440 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: the point that a lot of my big life events 441 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: were put on the back burner to get Bee back 442 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: on track. My oldest sister, Piper most likely feels the same, 443 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: and I know she holds herself responsible due to her 444 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: being parentified while we all grew up. There is almost 445 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: a rhythm to it. B will get her hands on something, 446 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: her health will decline. My father will throw money at 447 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: the situation and get her back on track. No rehab 448 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: has been used so far. By the way, my father 449 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: also struggled with substances when he was younger and managed 450 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: to get on the straight and narrow by himself, and 451 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: he thinks everyone can and should do it by themselves, 452 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: though he did it when my mother said she would 453 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: leave with the three of us if he didn't sort 454 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: his crap out, so slightly different situations. 455 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: It's like everyone should do it without any help, and 456 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: I didn't do that, But yeah, that's that doesn't count. 457 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: Everyone should fix themselves alone, like me, because I had 458 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: to do it by myself or my wife would leave 459 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: me with my children. So I did it all by 460 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: myself in a vacuum. 461 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: Yep, no one else existed. 462 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: Fast forward to now me and Piper are married and 463 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: b is not. My father found and helped convert an 464 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: old sandstone building that all three of us live in. 465 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: Piper's on the top floor, I'm in the middle, and 466 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: b is on the bottom floor. I know, crazy, I know, 467 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: but we all thought it sounded great at the time. 468 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: It feels like, uh, you can build a house out 469 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 3: of sandstone, I guess so in Minecraft you can. 470 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Is this a Minecraft house? It 471 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: feels like is a Minecraft ai like Zeus? 472 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 3: Hades and Poseidon get like being you know, getting the 473 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: different kingdoms and stuff, and Hades just getting the short 474 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: end of the stick.

I used to sympathize with Bee, 481 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: mainly because I was naive to what a horrible person 482 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: substances make people, even going as far as defending her. 483 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: But then then she started dating a horrible man we'll 484 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: call Stewart that had a criminal history of all sorts. 485 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: I showed this to be and she said she didn't 486 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: want to hear it.

It's true, He's just misunderstood. She 500 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: said she'd ask him about it, but I think she 501 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: just said that to get me to stop. The next day, 502 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: she said that it wasn't him that did all that, 503 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: and that she had done things in her past she 504 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't want brought up. I explained to her the difference 505 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: of an eighteen year old popping too many pills and 506 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: being a participant in a family crime ring. I genuinely 507 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: argued with her till I was blue in the face 508 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: about it, and she wasn't hearing any of it. I 509 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: showed her more articles on his family, how they were 510 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: in the news for having wars with one another. Whoa 511 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: is this guy in the mafia? I don't know. The 512 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: list went on and on, and the amount of research 513 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: I put into this man and his family terrified me, 514 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: not only for Bee's sake, but all of us. I 515 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: told Bee I was worried and concerned, but that I 516 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: hadn't told anyone yet. I know it sounds threatening, but 517 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: I was desperate, She said she wasn't going to see 518 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: him anymore and that I was right. Obviously, I was 519 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: suspicious of this as she flipped a switch and was 520 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: just done with him. Piper then told me that she 521 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: saw Bee not only coming out of a bar but wasted, 522 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: but with Stuart and climbing into my car my father 523 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: had loaned her and driving away. She is not the 524 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: best driver when sober, and I spoke to Piper about 525 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: my concerns and suspicions. So it got to that point 526 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: Piper and I raised our concerns to my parents and 527 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: that not only was this guy a walking red flag, 528 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: but he and b were skipping down a bad path. 529 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: My father, at the start told us that we had 530 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: to be happy. She was happy. One of my main 531 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: issues with everything is that I highlighted how dangerous this 532 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: man was four B and for all of us to 533 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: be around, and how we could all end up being 534 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: collateral damage in an old Western shootout. But my father 535 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: brushed it off, saying how he had done things in 536 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: his past that he wasn't proud of and not to 537 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: worry about it, and nothing will happen. No wonder, She's 538 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: got a substance use disorder. What is dad doing? 539 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: Dad does nothing. He's just like, if I don't look 540 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 3: at it exists. She's happy. 541 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what is that? How she got into pills. 542 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 3: She's so happy the pills. 543 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: The school reaches out and me like, I think your 544 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: daughter has a substanitute problem. It's like, yeah, but it 545 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: makes you so happy. 546 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 3: She just loves doing it. 547 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: It makes you sad. 548 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: It's good, she's doing fine. 549 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: She's doing fine. Don't worry about it so much. It's collige. 550 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: Come one anyway, that kind of stinks. So he was 551 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: very nonchalant until we highlighted that we thought she was 552 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: doing substances again due to her behavior. I genuinely think 553 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: she was on something. And then the floodgates were open. 554 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: My father told her she was fired, she couldn't drive 555 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: his car anymore and had to move out of our 556 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: building unless she ended things with Stuart because Piper and 557 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: I felt unsafe around him. Thanks Dad for that. So 558 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: b did just that she broke up with him. 559 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 3: I think you're lying. 560 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so obviously she didn't break up with Stuart. And 561 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: being the bottom of the building, be snuck Stewart in 562 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: every day twice a day. It was actually he mildly 563 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: hilarious seeing this grown man army crawl through the bushes 564 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: to get to the back door. So at this point 565 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: I was done speaking to Be. She was lying all 566 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: the time and wasn't even good at it. It was 567 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: more insulting at this point, but I think she thought 568 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: she was convincing and getting away with it. I wasn't 569 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: for telling my father and having another We have to 570 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: make sure Bee is okay. We have to team up 571 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: together and help her through this kind of deal. Eventually, 572 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Stuart and my father had to sit down conversation and 573 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: apparently Stuart is a convincing man, as my father, if anything, 574 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: brought Stuart more into the family, giving him a job 575 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: to take care of the heavy equipment in the work. 576 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: Oh lord, so I had to work with him and be. 577 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: But you know, Piper and I said how uncomfortable it 578 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: made us and how our living situation was uncomfortable too, 579 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: which was met with that it was our choice to 580 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: live like that, which it was. But man, I didn't 581 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: realize b was going to make a lying crime lord 582 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: her new main squeeze is he is he really a 583 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: crime lord? Though I don't know. 584 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: I don't know what this guy's deal is, you know 585 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 3: the grap She doesn't sound too good, though. 586 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: People can change, that's true. Eventually, my father saw that 587 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: the living situation wasn't going to work, as Piper and 588 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: I started looking at new places to move to. So 589 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: my father, being a control freak, demanded we stay and 590 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: offered to pay for Bee and her new boo to 591 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: move into a house away from all of us. Why 592 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: why why are we rewarding Bee's bad behavior? Why are 593 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: we doing this? B then announced she wasn't going to 594 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: see him anymore again and that she agreed he was 595 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: no good and a danger. 596 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 3: Okay, well you've said that three times now, so I 597 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: don't really believe it. 598 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 599 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: She's like, Okay, this time for sure, I'm breaking up 600 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: with them. The other times I was lying, but this time, no, sir. 601 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: This seemed to appease my father. Stuart was still there 602 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: like nothing had happened. I told Bee, I know she 603 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: was still seeing him, but she told me that it 604 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: was a onea off and to butt out. So my 605 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: father and mother confronted Be again, and at this point 606 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: I tried to take as little to do with it 607 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: as possible, which you all might think is cowardly, but 608 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: I was emotionally drained at this point. It's not really cowardly. 609 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: It's like, dude, why do I have to keep dealing 610 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: with her bs? 611 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 3: I do think I would be trying to move out 612 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: at this point, regardless of what your dad says. I 613 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 3: would be like, Dad, I need to pick myself up 614 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: by the bootstraps, like you're always saying, and not live here. 615 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: Screw that. I'd be like, Dad, pay for me to 616 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: live somewhere else. Why would you pay for her to 617 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: live somewhere? Pay for me? 618 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 3: I just couldn't be connected with these people anymore. 619 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: So everything went quiet and I didn't ask. I didn't 620 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: need to know. Bee was still living downstairs, but wasn't 621 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: at work anymore, which was a mild wind. It comes 622 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: up to Christmas. Me and Piper and our partners were 623 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: invited to Christmas dinner at my parents' house, and I 624 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: was under the impression B would probably be there, so 625 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: I prepared for some awkwardness. But wow, any guesses, can 626 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: you guess who else was there? Would it have been Stuart. 627 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 2: Secret, Santa Claus? Is there? 628 00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: Stewart Claus, Stuart Claw, Stewart Claw stew Claus Stuart Little So. 629 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 3: Little was there. 630 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but he was there and 631 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: welcomed into the family my parents only again. We had 632 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: dinner like nothing had happened, though my partner was giving 633 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: me eyes like want the going here the whole evening, 634 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: and Piper was staring at me like she was trying 635 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: to muster the strength to not say anything and can 636 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: only do so by glaring at me. Then came exchanging 637 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: presence and pretending the past year was fine. I had 638 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: gotten a backup gift in case b was there, but 639 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: oblivious to the slightest chance of Stuart being there, so 640 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: I had gotten him nothing. It was an awkward, silence 641 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: riddled night. So because of that, and also Piper and 642 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: I making Bee feel uncomfortable and unwanted at Christmas, I know, 643 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: poor Bee. And the months leading to my father's birthday 644 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: in March just a measuring stick you'll see in a minute. 645 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: My father began getting angry at Piper and I for 646 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: still holding a grudge also known as boundaries, and started 647 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: giving me the cold shoulder at work too, with minimum 648 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: conversation except for one worded work related emails. This became 649 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: very obvious to the extent, and people from different teams 650 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: and departments were asking me if I was okay and 651 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: if they could do anything. They too had experienced Stewart 652 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: and knew that my father can and did force uncomfortable 653 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: situations on them too. People at work have problems with Stu. 654 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: Yees, I mean they work together. 655 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 2: Let's just what Stuart got. 656 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Stewart's got a good work ethic and 657 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: a heavy machinery operating license, so he's forklifts certified. Folks, 658 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: you want to override your dastardly days, become a forklift 659 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: certified individual that will solve all. 660 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: Of your problems, apparently for Stewart. 661 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Dakota, your favorite good time boy host. Here. 662 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: We're going to get back to the stories, but here's 663 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: three minutes of ads from our sponsors. Unbeknownst to my father, 664 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: I too can be stubborn af and in no way 665 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: would he make me do or be friendly to anyone 666 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: I didn't want to. Through therapy and counseling, I figured 667 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: out later that my family dynamic was very choot. The 668 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: Messengery and me and Piper not being our normal loving 669 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: sisterhood was a reminder to my father that his family 670 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: wasn't so perfect and was actually alive, so he was 671 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: taking it out on me and Piper. Though Piper transferred 672 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: to another branch away from my dad. Smart girl, I 673 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: again was too stubborn. So fast forward to around March twelfth. 674 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: I had pre ordered a gift for my father's birthday 675 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: before he was a steaming pile of duquie and thought, 676 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: ef it, I might as well give it to him, 677 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: though he was avoiding me, giving me the silent treatment. 678 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: The day of his birthday, I put his gift on 679 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: his office chair and messaged him Happy birthday, and then 680 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: he said, thank you if you mean it. I will 681 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: be happy when my family stops reminding everyone of the past, 682 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: stop asking for apologies, move on together and like and 683 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: love each other, then I will be happy. 684 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 3: That's crazy, hope he takes happy birthday, thanks if you 685 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 3: mean it, if you can shut up about the past, 686 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 3: He's like, I just said out a birthday, that's all 687 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 3: I said. 688 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, I do mean it, and I've never 689 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: asked for an apology. I don't even want an apology. Father. 690 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: You might not ask, but you won't let go in 691 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: for a give uh me. I'm sorry you feel that way, 692 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: but it's not the case. It seems you have an 693 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: issue with me and won't let go and forgive. But anyway, 694 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: I honestly hope you have a happy birthday. I have 695 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: an issue with all of my family. We did wrong 696 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: when we threw be out. We and I mean the 697 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: six of us, Mom and I have apologized to her 698 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: on many occasions, but the four of you can't move 699 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: on and cuddle her, cuddle her shoe love. She is 700 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: damaged from that day and no one wants to bring 701 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: her back in. Forget the lies, forget the bad behavior, 702 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: draw a line love her. What dude, you're the reason 703 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: why she's like this. You're literally like, well, we have 704 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: to make everything that she's ever done okay, and she 705 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: can't have any consequences or repercussions, so she never learns 706 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: her lesson. That's what we have to do. 707 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: For me, None of this makes sense. You're a bad dad, 708 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 3: and Ope, I genuinely think you have to distance yourself 709 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 3: from this bad Yeah who is off for Piper? 710 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: But he's the dad? 711 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, who is he to draw the line 712 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 2: like you say? For you to draw the line when 713 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: he's never drawn a line ever. He's he's drew. 714 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: Opposite of what you're talking about exactly. He's talking about 715 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: erasing the line and just being like, you can do 716 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: whatever you want. You step all the lines, draw that line, 717 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: we will forget over it. Any bad behavior you've ever 718 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: done in your life, we will forgive you. Don't even 719 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: have to be sorry for it. 720 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 3: Pick it up and limbo underneath it. 721 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, Op continues, Well, I didn't reply, like what the 722 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: FM I meant to say to that. He does have 723 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: a tendency to send scrollers and we all find it 724 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: easier to just leave it alone and he would go 725 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: back to normal in time. I know that's super healthy communication, right, 726 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: But him deciding to take his car back and fire 727 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: her and throw me out. Now he regrets it and 728 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: it's using a we and us thing, but that was 729 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: his decision. So anyway, back to the story. A bit 730 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: of info on my job. I manage a team of 731 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: five construction leaders. But the bookkeepers get me to take 732 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: their petty cash home with me and bring it back 733 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: to them in the morning so that it's not their responsibility, 734 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: which is reasonable. My father isn't always in the office 735 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: and I'm the only one that will be there every 736 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: day and can be trusted and doesn't mind the responsibility. 737 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: So I go to leave and go home still the 738 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: twelfth of March and put my bag into my car 739 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: and find Stuart calling out my name. He says he 740 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: wants to show me something because my father was okay 741 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: with him and be now. Stuart was doing some part 742 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: time work for my father, so he shows me some 743 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 1: of the heavy equipment that needed some replacement parts. I'm like, cool, noted, thanks. 744 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't being rude to him or anything, just cordial. 745 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: I get back to my car. My bag is open. 746 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: I hadn't locked my car. Half the money from the 747 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: petty cash was gone. 748 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 3: Ooopye, No, we got locked car when, especially when we 749 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 3: got money in there. 750 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: I know who took all that. 751 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not very hard to figure that out. 752 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: It seems like it was your sister. 753 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, Stuart was distracting you. Well, your sister stole your door. 754 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: Was running a classic con YEP. I don't know what 755 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: the name is, but it would probably sound like the 756 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: Saskatoon doo Hickey or something like that. 757 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 3: The distract detect or something yet like that. 758 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: It could also sound like that. To be fair, mhm, 759 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: it's multiple names. I break down in tears in my car. 760 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: Around about then was when I realized how much all 761 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: of this was taking a toll on me. I had 762 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: my suspicions it was Stuart that had stolen from me, 763 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: But how would I even broach that topic with my father? 764 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: He already thought I had it out for Bee and Stuart. 765 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: At this point, I'm planning on taking out money from 766 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: an ATM and being done with it. When Beverly, our receptionist, 767 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: and Lewis, her manager, came out and say they saw 768 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: Bee stealing money out of my bag. I have witnesses. 769 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 3: Nice. 770 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: They were understandably sheepish to intervene since it was family 771 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: stealing from family, but they thought I should know. I 772 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: am ugly crying about now in front of people I 773 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: barely know, but I have witnesses now. But even having witnesses, 774 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't confident my father would hear it from me. 775 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: And I couldn't get those two angelic witnesses to go 776 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: to the boss and tell him his middle daughter is 777 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: a thieving little witch. So I called my mom like 778 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: a child, still ugly crying, and get her so she 779 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: can tell him. She too had been giving me the 780 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: silent treatment throughout all of this, though I feel like 781 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: it was more of an I'm not getting involved type 782 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: of silence. 783 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 3: That is involvement, though, that's direct involvement. 784 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, lack of involvement is a choice to not be involved. Yeah, 785 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: so you're involved in a way involved. You're involved, picking 786 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: aside because you're not talking to your daughter with your 787 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: non involvement, you are involved. I offer her to talk 788 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 1: to the witnesses if she didn't believe me, but she did, 789 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: and she spoke to my father on my behalf. So apparently, 790 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: stealing money from your family company you no longer work 791 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: for it on your father's birthday in front of employees 792 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: isn't a good look. My father came into the work 793 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: the following day found not only me the sole standing 794 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: working daughter in that branch, but also found the present 795 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,959 Speaker 1: that I had left for him yesterday. At this point, 796 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm so happy I got that gift for him and 797 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: left it for him. It's just like, ooh, that daughter 798 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: you tried to beerate into being friends with your other 799 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: thieving daughter. I got you a gift, would it be 800 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: gets you a couple hundred pounds worth of debt to 801 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: the account's department. How f and crappy is that, Yeah, 802 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty bad, But yeah, I think your father's really empathetic. 803 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 3: To her, overly empathetic. 804 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: It's just because it's because he went through the same 805 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: kind of struggle. But he also just doesn't understand that 806 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 1: the way that he did it wasn't doing it alone, 807 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: and that B probably needs to go to some kind 808 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: of something. 809 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 3: But that's like the weird thing to me is that 810 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 3: he has this mentality of if you get yourself into trouble, 811 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 3: you need to go it alone and figure it out yourself. 812 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 3: But also that's exactly the opposite of what he's doing 813 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 3: with B. Even though it's not helpful. He's not saying, oh, 814 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 3: we should just leave her alone and she's beyon help. 815 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 3: He's like everyone has to help her, even when she 816 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 3: f's everyone over fifty million times. 817 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: It's true. It's weird, weird, weird paradox there. Okay, B 818 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: knew I take home the petty cash and that it's 819 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: my responsibility. Did she give an f about what would 820 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: happen to me when I handed that back in the 821 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: following day? She knows I would have no clue what happened. 822 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: She knew everyone in the office would have thought I 823 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: just took it or lost it anyway. Now, believe me 824 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: when I say this. I have only seen my dad 825 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: cry once at his father's funeral. But he cried, And 826 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: as much as I want to say I told him 827 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: to go f himself for being such a ginormous d bag, 828 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: I didn't. I hugged him, though I'm still building a 829 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: friendship with my father to this day because he said 830 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: things within those six months that he can't take back. 831 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 1: So b had truly after chances of my father forcing 832 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: her back into the family circle, but she went on 833 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 1: to demand money from my father, which he didn't tell 834 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: me or Piper about. And it went on till my 835 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: father had a heart attack that he survived and recovered from. 836 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: Though it was down to stress and though we all 837 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,280 Speaker 1: think and no, the stress comes in a B size 838 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: and shape in reality, a B sized stress when it 839 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: stings you. 840 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 3: Oh, I have a very funny story about it. 841 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 1: Bee, Yeah, I'll tell it. I'll tell us Mark, I'll 842 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 1: tell it after. In reality, he made that monster after 843 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: years and years and years of catching her before she 844 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: hit rock bottom and cleaning up the messes. So as 845 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: much as we occasionally joke about Bee being the cause 846 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 1: of that, it all stems from my father's life choices. 847 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: Do it, do it now and you can listen until 848 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: the bees buzz, the final buzz, the buzz the funnel biz. 849 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: Yes what and there is just a little bit they 850 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: got b business. Okay, let's hit it. 851 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 3: I think I think the same thing. We already know 852 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 3: your father kind of sucks, and now he's realizing that 853 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 3: Bee does too, And uh, that's great. But also I 854 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 3: think you've got to limit contact for just a little. 855 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 3: You don't have to go full no contact, but like 856 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 3: I think limiting would put you know, your mind at 857 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 3: peace a little bit. Yeah, because this drama is. 858 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 2: Too much, too much for everyone. Yeah, too much drama. 859 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: Make me bump. So this was all about a year ago, 860 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: and Be and Stuart still live downstairs. I just take 861 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: nothing to do with her. I would move, but I 862 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: love my flat, my home, and have come to whisper 863 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: to myself, not to my circus, not my monkeys, enough 864 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: that I'm happy for Bee to turn into an estrange neighbor. 865 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: I am truly done with her, And though it does 866 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: make me sad, sometimes because we were really close, but 867 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: now we're not. We're not anything. I guess we all 868 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: grow up eventually, even if it's just me doing the growing. 869 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: I have cameras everywhere now, and that crap isn't happening 870 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 1: twice and next time I'm calling the police, and that 871 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 1: is the end of that story. 872 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 3: Sure is, Sure is. 873 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just gotta call the police on your sister 874 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: because she's stealing the petty cash right out of your 875 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 1: work trow. 876 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she keeps stealing from you, or at 877 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 3: least she's stolen from you once already.

He wanted to quit our 930 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 3: relationship before he did something like that. In his own words, 931 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 3: he and the new woman started doing things together as 932 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 3: friends after our separation and started officially dating in August 933 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 3: when they went on a trip abroad together.

Then, why did you try to 936 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 3: stregon out with a guy who had a kid? Seems 937 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 3: pretty stupid of you. 938 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: Counterintuitive. 939 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 3: She accepted the fact that he has a child, though 940 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 3: he told her that we're just friends, which is true. 941 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 3: We are not interested in each other romantically anymore. He 942 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 3: came to the hospital to support the delivery and saw 943 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 3: his child being born. I appreciate his support, but I 944 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 3: wanted more support when at the hospital. I felt so 945 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 3: bad when he left me and the baby at the 946 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 3: hospital and went to a restaurant with the new woman. 947 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 3: I cried a lot and talked with the nurses. One 948 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 3: of the nurses was very stressed with her work and 949 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,720 Speaker 3: was very rude and mean to me. I just wanted 950 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 3: to get out of the hospital as soon as possible. Thankfully, 951 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 3: they didn't hold me there too long. We bought an 952 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 3: apartment together in May, and I started living in the 953 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 3: empty apartment with the baby. Although he came to get 954 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 3: us from the hospital, you and your ex started looking together. 955 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: I guess to co parent, that seems like that's a 956 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: really hard situation. 957 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, he lives with his friend nearby, and now after 958 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 3: four months, he's going to get all of his stuff 959 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 3: from our apartment and give the key to me. I 960 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 3: asked him to do this and he agreed. He used 961 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 3: to eat, shower, and do his laundry here too. Now 962 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 3: he doesn't do those things here anymore. And if he 963 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 3: eats here, he goes shopping and makes his own sandwiches. 964 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 3: I used to pay for his phone bills too, but 965 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 3: I said now that he needs to do that himself. 966 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 3: You were paying for your ex's phone bills. What you 967 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 3: are too nice? So pee, This is letting him walk 968 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 3: all over you. 969 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:36,760 Speaker 1: Is he paying you back? 970 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so. 971 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: Why Why did we do that? 972 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 3: He was like this in our relationship also, He sat 973 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 3: on the computer and I did everything at home. He 974 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 3: didn't even do anything nice with me, like go to 975 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 3: a restaurant or a broad on a trip. I asked 976 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 3: him many times, but he didn't want to. He was 977 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 3: very cold emotionally too. He said that's just how he is. 978 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: He just sucks. He's a stinky little guy. 979 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 3: He wanted to save money for the apartment, and thanks 980 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 3: to him, we could pay the needed amount beforehand to 981 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 3: the bank. We own the apartment fifty to fifty. Why 982 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 3: did we do this? Why? Did we I understand maybe 983 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 3: having a shared place a while. I understand having a 984 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 3: shared place to co parent, but it seems like you 985 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 3: bought Unless I'm mistaken, seems like you got this place 986 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 3: after you separated, which is kind of bonkers to me. 987 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 3: Sure I could be wrong.

Okay, 999 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 3: So I think I think you got it before. I 1000 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 3: was so stressed about everything that I couldn't breastfeed my 1001 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 3: baby anymore. The milk stopped coming, So now I'm using 1002 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 3: formula and the baby is content with that, thankfully. Now 1003 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 3: he has been seeing our baby several times a week 1004 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 3: during the day. I'm alone at nights, usually for four 1005 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,760 Speaker 3: to five hours. When he comes to visit, he usually 1006 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 3: brings his computer and does work and school stuff in 1007 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 3: between taking care of the baby. He works a lot. 1008 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 3: He is a workaholic. He feeds the baby and plays 1009 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 3: with the baby, but doesn't change diapers. That is a 1010 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,240 Speaker 3: key aspect of taking care of a baby. 1011 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, pooby diaper, poopy diaper man. 1012 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 3: And it's also not hard. I also help him with 1013 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 3: work and school stuff weekly, usually checking his spelling and 1014 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 3: helping with writing a little. He said he can help 1015 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 3: me next year when I go back to work and 1016 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 3: do remote studies at school at the same time. So 1017 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 3: we help each other this way and he gets to 1018 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 3: have time with our baby and I get some alone 1019 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 3: time without the baby and help with taking care of 1020 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 3: the baby. He plans to have his paternity leave next 1021 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,479 Speaker 3: year so I can go back to work at least 1022 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 3: part time. He is going to be with the baby 1023 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 3: during the days in our apartment when I'm at work. 1024 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 3: He can't take the baby to his friend's house because 1025 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 3: his friend hasn't agreed to that. He supports us monetarily. 1026 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,240 Speaker 3: We have a contract for child support and the baby 1027 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 3: gets the same amount every month. We have talked about 1028 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 3: getting a better bed for the baby and plan to 1029 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 3: pay for it together. We have shared custody of the baby, 1030 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,479 Speaker 3: but we haven't signed any contract about the meeting times yet. 1031 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 3: He said he can't because of his work and became 1032 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 3: irritated when I mentioned it. I think that it seems 1033 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 3: like you guys were still together when you had all 1034 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 3: of these like housing things and such like that, but 1035 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 3: it seems like he's still not an active participant in, 1036 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 3: you know, raising your child monetarily or otherwise doing the playing, 1037 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 3: which maybe we have to go the legal route now 1038 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 3: if that's an issue. Yeah, that's my suggestion, because you 1039 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 3: deserve to get money from him for your kid. We 1040 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,839 Speaker 3: are planning to have this co parenting and helping each 1041 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 3: other relationship for two years and then sell the apartment 1042 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 3: or I'm possibly buying the apartment for myself. I can't 1043 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,839 Speaker 3: afford it now. So what do you think should be 1044 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 3: continue this arrangement? Is it beneficial to me? Somebody said 1045 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 3: to me that he benefits more from this than me, 1046 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 3: but he stands to lose more if we quit this arrangement. 1047 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 3: What do you think I should do? I don't want 1048 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 3: to lose money or end up homeless, and I want 1049 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 3: our baby to grow up having a father. I'm not 1050 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 3: interested in any relationships at the moment, even though I 1051 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 3: feel lonely sometimes I want to focus on myself and 1052 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 3: the baby at the moment. So taking a new partner 1053 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 3: isn't a good option at the moment either. And that 1054 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 3: is the end of the story. Is it better? Like 1055 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 3: I can't tell you if it's beneficial. Are you feeling 1056 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 3: like you are receiving the help financially and just like 1057 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 3: the physical help of raising your child or not. You 1058 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 3: got to answer that question for yourself. 1059 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 1: You have the answer to that. It's inside of you. 1060 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: It's inside of your hoky. 1061 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, maybe get something on paper. 1062 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think I think absolutely go the legal route. 1063 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because yes, thankfully he's there to help out and 1064 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 2: just didn't like abandon y'all. But there can be he 1065 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 2: can do. He's like doing the bare minimum. I Thinkdakota 1066 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 2: said that. 1067 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's of course he didn't abandon y'all 1068 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: because it's like he gets more out of this than money, yeah, 1069 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: than he loses. 1070 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 3: You know, he literally does not have the money to abandon. 1071 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you're a spell checker, you you help him 1072 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 2: out with other things too. It's kind of crazy. H 1073 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 2: it's like you're kind of taking care of him while 1074 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 2: taking care of the baby. 1075 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 3: But that's the end of that story. And we've got 1076 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 3: some comments from video. Girlfriend outed me as a cheater. 1077 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 3: I didn't cheat. And this was posted July eighteenth, twenty 1078 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 3: twenty five. And this TLDR comes from story one. Op. 1079 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 3: He went on a great first date with Danielle, but 1080 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,280 Speaker 3: she panic and posted his picture to a huge cheaters 1081 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 3: Facebook group to check his loyalty. His private life got exposed. 1082 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 3: Friends and coworkers saw it, and she initially lied about it. 1083 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 3: OPI realized the trust was broken before anything serious even started. 1084 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 3: If you're curious to know the full story, you can 1085 00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:58,800 Speaker 3: go watch the full video. 1086 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 2: I think I remember this one. 1087 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: I kind of remember this one, and I remember it 1088 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,280 Speaker 1: being like, yeah, if you're going a date with somebody, 1089 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: in there immediately like. 1090 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 3: Did this is this guy? 1091 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: Cheater? Does this guy? They're just not ready to date? 1092 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 3: Anybody's like, why would you assume that about someone? Well, 1093 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 3: because they had because yeah, because you have experience of 1094 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 3: that probably doesn't happen and you're not ready to go 1095 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 3: in a day. 1096 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have some comments here. 1097 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: I believe in the positivity. Okay, no, no, I'm fine. 1098 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm fine. I don't know what any of y'all are 1099 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: talking about. I'm fine. 1100 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 2: Terrifying, but we do have some comments here. First one 1101 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 2: is from Mango Lilac saying, appearing on and are we 1102 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 2: dating the same guy doesn't mean that someone is a cheater. 1103 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 2: It is a way for women to help each other 1104 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,919 Speaker 2: and keep each other safe. Unfortunately, a friend of mine 1105 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 2: found out that her husband was on there had dated 1106 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 2: a ton of women in the area. Tough. Mmm. Some 1107 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 2: woman who had dated him from dating apps had posted 1108 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 2: his profile or profiles to check because he was being 1109 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 2: wishy washy and something just wasn't adding up. My friend 1110 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 2: had friends who were part of the Facebook group and 1111 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 2: gathered the info from the women who posted and the 1112 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 2: many who confirmed they also dated him, and shared the 1113 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,720 Speaker 2: info with my friend. They confirmed that it was indeed 1114 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 2: her husband, and the women who dated him from the 1115 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 2: apps were super nice and of course horrified he is 1116 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 2: now her ex husband. It truly is meant to protect women, 1117 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 2: and appearing on there doesn't mean that someone is a cheater. 1118 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 2: It's often women trying to be safe and verify. There 1119 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 2: are also men who will appear and women who know 1120 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 2: or who have previously dated that person. You can't verify 1121 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 2: they're also a good they're good people to date and 1122 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 2: not a crazy person or a cheater. 1123 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're good in the bed. 1124 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's uses and there's uh. It kind of goes 1125 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 3: overboard in this situation. 1126 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: Oh, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's 1127 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:43,360 Speaker 1: just how life is. 1128 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 2: And we have another comment here by ih Waffles forty 1129 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,399 Speaker 2: five to thirty four? Are we dating the same guy? 1130 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 2: Can be helpful and harmful. Some people are just plain 1131 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 2: mean about looks, et cetera. Then there are real reports 1132 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 2: of not great people. You see guys married with kids 1133 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,840 Speaker 2: or have criminal records and would be a danger to children. 1134 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 2: I've also seen a bunch of women talk great things 1135 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 2: about a guy, so it can technically vary. The point 1136 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 2: was to make sure the person isn't lying about being single, 1137 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 2: et cetera. Men and women both cheat and lie. There 1138 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,479 Speaker 2: is also a group of we dating the same women 1139 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 2: for guys, and from what I've seen in there, there 1140 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 2: aren't any better than the females grew, so it goes 1141 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 2: for both. 1142 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm assuming in the like cheating forum you're gonna 1143 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 3: find some cheaters. 1144 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna be Yeah, they will be there to 1145 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: be around. 1146 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 2: And we have one more comment from de Shania seventy 1147 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 2: four nineteen two weeks question Mark, what the ef you 1148 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 2: have to use that site just break up? 1149 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah?
