1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: I hate my husband's best friend. Now he wants a divorce.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: My thirty two female husband forty one male, decided to

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: host a friend of his at our house for two weeks.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: I normally enjoy house guests, but this friend is a

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: walking red flag. And I am twenty seven weeks pregnant

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: with three children, five male, three female, one male, and

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: I will call this friend Dick. His name Oh this

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: comes from Pups and SUPs on the arslash Okay storytime subreddit.

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: So Dick abandoned his pregnant wife and stepdaughter eight years

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: ago without a word. They were left with no money

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: and no clue what happened to him. For months, he

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't even pick up the phone, not even on his

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: daughter's birthday. I know because my husband and I took

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: them in and had them stay with us while they

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: were trying to figure things out. The vicious comments to

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: her about her weight and appearance before he disappeared all

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: made sense when it came out that he was living

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: with another woman he had been cheating on her with

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: throughout the pregnancy. She was pregnant, That's why she was

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: gaining weight. There was a human growing inside her, growing

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: on you Bell didn't know until after the whole incident

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: that my husband knew the whole time exactly what his

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: friend was doing and said nothing complicit, implicit? Is it

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: his monkey and circus?

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: It's his monkey and circus.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: Should he do the classic okay storytime move of the

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: anonymous The anonymous tell anonymous, tell like, Hey, you don't

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: know me, but you don't is cheating me? Wink, your

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: husband is cheating me. Your husband is cheating on you.

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: Your husband evidence through a fake account. Yeah, you slip evidence,

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: You slip a little letter under the door.

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, virtually watching you. In my opinion, he failed to

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: protect the vulnerable woman and child and chose to protect

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: his friend. In his opinion, he told his friend it

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: was wrong, but it was not his place to say anything.

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen both sides of this argument, you know,

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I've I've seen not my monkey, not my circus, and

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I've seen you should tell someone who is being affected

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: by cheating that that this is happening. I think what

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: we've come to on the show that the best way

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: to do it is just to say something anonymously, especially

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: if you don't have a relationship with that person.

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if you do then I should think you.

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Should tell them if like, if they're if the husband

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: friend and your if your husband is friends with that

46
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: guy's with your husband's friend's wife, then you should tell

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: because of his relationship there. If not, it should just be.

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Anonymous agreed in his opinion. He told his friend it

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: was wrong, but it was on his place to anything.

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: He also saw the bawling toddler on her birthday wondering

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: where her dad was.

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: And again, also, why would you want to be friends

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: with this person?

54
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Yeah? Exactly. Over the years, I've always kept my guard

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: up around this friend. I opt out of outings that

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: include him. I am cordial at best and unfriendly generally

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: to him. I honestly cannot forgive Dick, even eight years later,

58
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: despite knowing my feelings. It's Dick. My husband invites him

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: to stay at our home for long stretches. He says,

60
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: I am not allowed to disagree about Dick staying to disagree?

61
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: What is this? A freaking.

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Yes?

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. I didn't realize I was making

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: that pun until it came out of mine.

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: It was great. I need to be friendly to him

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: and nice when he is around, because he didn't harm

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: me or my children personally. Dear husband says he's allowed

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: to have friends, and I'm being unreasonable for the situation.

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: But if you have friends that have these kind of.

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: Morals, yeah, why would you be go on to be friends?

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: So does that not say something about you. My husband

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: manages a small business and it takes up his time

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: at odd hours. I work a very demanding job and

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: travel frequently, but it allows me to contribute on par

75
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: with my husband. At the time of Dick's arrival, I

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: was gone or working long hours far from home the

77
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: whole first week he was there. On the weekend, I

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: was looking forward on spending time with my children. It

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: had been very hard working fifty five hours that week

80
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: while very pregnant OPI he's pregnant.

81
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: By the way, he's still fringing pregnant.

82
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: And I admittedly had a short fuse. My husband tried

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: to insist that Dick take all the kids to the

84
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: beach down the street without us while we catch up

85
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: on work I could not do while I was working

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: long hours, and I lost it. I was extremely upset

87
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: that my husband was trying to force the kids off

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: with someone I do not trust. In bathing suits for hours.

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: It might have been the pregnancy hormones, but I was

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: scared for the kids and did not want them around

91
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: Dick at all. After that, Dick mercifully only drove the

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: kids to the end of the street and brought them

93
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: back because of how upset I was about the whole thing.

94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: Dick does not have custody of his own children with

95
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: two different women, and it was at my house for

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: Father's Day instead of seeing them really quick. Do we

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: think that reaction from OPI is warranted with Dick's behavior.

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: I think I understand the pregnancy hormones, especially like maybe

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: a little bit much, but one pregnancy hormones and two

100
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: he has said she's uncomfortable and the husband has said

101
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: I don't care.

102
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it does feel maybe a

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: little bit much to be like that distrustful of the

104
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: husband's friend. But again we have seen his morals, Yeah,

105
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: and the morals are not high. And do you want

106
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: your kids being influenced by someone, even if it's not

107
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: like a even if it's not like a whole, like

108
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: if he's not a PDF or groomer or whatever, right

109
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: like Sophie Collins, as you never know, he could be

110
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: a grooomer, even if it's not that. Do you want

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: your kid hanging out.

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: With someone one woman just cheat on you?

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Do you want your like your person your

114
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: kid's influenced by that? I don't think so. I do

115
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit far to go the whole

116
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: bathing suit route. But I understand pregnancy hormones and all

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: that too. But let me know what you guys think.

118
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: Do you think she's justified in saying that? Do you

119
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: think not? Let us know. I don't know any of

120
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: the custody or divorce information, but a dad not seeing

121
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: their own children while spending time with other children is

122
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: a red flag to me. Dick and my husband have

123
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: been good friends for longer than I have known them,

124
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: and my dear husband is livid that I cannot trust Dick.

125
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Dear husband is usually laid back in kind, but he

126
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: has yelled and started swearing at me because of my

127
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: refusal to get along with Dick. Here is where I'm

128
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: probably the a hole. The next day, after I lost

129
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: it on my husband about Dick taking the kids without supervision,

130
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: I tried to work out a schedule where I could

131
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: spend time with the kids and with my husband my

132
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: husband let me know that I could spend time with

133
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: my one year old during nap time because he doesn't

134
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: want to spend any time around me while I'm acting

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: upset with him and Dick. Let him know that I

136
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: am taking the kids and he can spend all the

137
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: time with Dick he wants. Took the kids out for

138
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: a fun day stayed at a hotel with them to

139
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: avoid my husband and Dick. Dear husband did not contact

140
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: me until late that night, and I let him know

141
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: we were safe. I didn't want to have to physically

142
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: get away from them, but I felt like I had

143
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: to because my husband was not allowing me to have

144
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: any say about my home or my children. I wanted

145
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: to protect them and myself since my husband sees no

146
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: reason to protect anyone from Dick. Miss jay Bird says,

147
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: why would she trust him? D says she's justified. Dutchess

148
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Cassano says, divorce this loser. Tony's Spilacic Siliaco says, Dick

149
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: will never take care of my kids until he proves

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: he can consistently take care of his own. Josephine medolo

151
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Berquest says, divorce, divorce, dear husband and I went to

152
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: counseling the next day and he threatened divorce.

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

154
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: He thinks that I am completely wrong for getting away

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: from the house, for wanting his friend to stay at

156
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: a hotel instead of our home, for not being a

157
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: good hostess or friend to Dick myself. I don't think

158
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm being unreasonable wanting us, say, in my home late

159
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: in my pregnancy with all my young children. Really quick,

160
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: pausing right here, what do you think of you?

161
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: I think that op is valid and not wanting him

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: in her home, and I think it shows a lot

163
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: about the husband's character that he still wants to be

164
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: friends with this guy.

165
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also have him around his kids and stay

166
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: so long with the fact.

167
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: And also and swearing at her when she's trying to

168
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: express feelings of uncomfortable and being good to.

169
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Protect your home, Jenny Lopez says, plot twist, he's cheating

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: with Dick. Maybe I work really hard to provide for

171
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: my family and I don't want anything to happen to them.

172
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm more scared to be angry, to be honest, and

173
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: we don't want anything to happen to you and you

174
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: to miss anything, So you should join us live every

175
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: weekday at three pmpst. Just have a profile. Deer husband

176
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: thinks I'm holding a grudge, and then I hate his

177
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: friend because of his neglect of his family all those

178
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: years ago. Dear husband said, I am evil for not

179
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: forgiving and forgetting what happened, especially since it didn't hurt

180
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: me or my children. I think I am not being unreasonable,

181
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: but the way my husband keeps going on about this

182
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: being my personality and I'm just a dark, unhappy person

183
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: makes me feel like I'm going crazy. My family agrees

184
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: in a support of my actions, but I still don't

185
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: know if I'm the a hole here.

186
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: So is oppa No, I think you should get out

187
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: of there. I think he is kind of gaslighting you.

188
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: We don't know all the context.

189
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: No, we love, but we do know his reaction and

190
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: his reaction I think alone is a red flag.

191
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the fact that he cheated, Like, let's say

192
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I had a friend that was, you know, swearing like

193
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: a sailor, didn't have any filter, maybe was morally dubious. One,

194
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would hang out with that person,

195
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: But two, I definitely wouldn't want them around my kids.

196
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: So if I was to hang out with them. I

197
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: would hang out with them far away from the people

198
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: I care about.

199
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Also, we I might have misunderstood, but I thought that

200
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: the husband I was the husband was swearing at op.

201
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh husband also was swearing out. But I'm but I

202
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: I but like, yeah, the guy, I'm just this is

203
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: just like a scenario. Got yeah. De Cassan says gas lamping,

204
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Her husband's gas lamping.

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: You gresh lamping?

206
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think op is. I would just take a

207
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: hard look on the husband and think, like, do are

208
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: you sure that this is someone you want to be

209
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: around that has friends like this? But let me know,

210
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: let me know if you think Ope is overreacting or not.

211
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: I told my friend that I slept with his sister.

212
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Now he wants to end the friendship. I wonder why so,

213
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: Jason Slay says, John and I are both in our forces.

214
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: Oh no.

215
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: He was my friend through middle school and most of

216
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: high school. We hung out together, played the same sports,

217
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: did church, summer camp, et cetera. Basically we grew up together.

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: I also knew and spent time with his sister Mary.

219
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: Mary is cerebral palsy and uses an electric wheelchair.

220
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Wait, he slept with Mary we don't know yet.

221
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: After graduating, John went to university, while I stayed back

222
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: home to work at my father's business and go to

223
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: community college part time. Mary also went to community college

224
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: and we ended up hanging out a lot. One and

225
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: his family liked the idea of me being like a

226
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: big brother to Mary. Oh God, Mary, but I so

227
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: close and we began having spicy sleep What we weren't

228
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: exactly dating, but it was a lot of fun for

229
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: both of us. Because Mary's family is very protected of her,

230
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,239
Speaker 2: we both agreed to keep a relationship a secret. Eventually,

231
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 2: her family found out and there was an ugly confrontation

232
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: with me and them. They accused me of taking advantage

233
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: of Mary because of my familiarity with her and because

234
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: she was disabled. Mary insisted she wanted the relationship, but

235
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: they dismissed her views like they always did.

236
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: I will say, is she but she's not like mentally

237
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: hire No.

238
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: I think that the family is being overly protective of

239
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: her and kind of infantilizing her.

240
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: It seems like, dude, Mary's got to get dick down.

241
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes she got eased.

242
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: Jellybas says, hey, she got NEAs to. Mary insisted she

243
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: wanted the relationship, but they dismissed her views like they

244
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: always did. One was especially angry at me, even trying

245
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: to start a fistfight. My father got involved and things

246
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: eventually settled down, but my friendship with John and his

247
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: family was over. I ended up leaving the area after

248
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: I got my associate's degree and moved out of state

249
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: to live with my mother. So two decades have passed.

250
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: I have stayed in contact with Mary, but only exchange

251
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: basic pleasantries with John and his family. They are still

252
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: connected with my father, so it's just a courtesy relationship.

253
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago, Mary came to my city and we

254
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: met for lunch. I was a company event with her

255
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: coworkers and vendors, but I still enjoyed seeing her again

256
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: after so many years. We continued the evening at our

257
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: hotel room Okay, and I ended up spending the night

258
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: with her.

259
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: Let's freaking go.

260
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: This Saturday morning, I woke up to find a message

261
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: from John. We've barely communicated for the last twenty years,

262
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: so it was startled to see his name. Apparently he'd

263
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: gotten around to looking at the pictures Mary and posted

264
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: from the lunch and saw me sitting next to his sister.

265
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: She's like so adult though, Yeah, this is an adult woman,

266
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: This is literally an adult Yeah.

267
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Villain s MC says, this is ableism in the reverse way.

268
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't just ableism. Isn't it just regular old abolism.

269
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Well, like it's like ableism in the unverse reverse way,

270
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, we're trying to protect our our

271
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: our person to make sure she's like feel safe from everything.

272
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: It's still ablest, but it's not like it's not like, oh,

273
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: you can't well I guess it is, Yeah, you can't

274
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: do this.

275
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just because you're you're like, oh you're you're.

276
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: But it's not able. I guess it's like ableism from

277
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: the perspective of trying to be protective and helpful rather

278
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: than and like trying to be detrimental, uh or or exclusionary.

279
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: It's basically doing that.

280
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: I guess that that's I think a lot of ableism

281
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: does come from like a place of oh you're you're,

282
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: you're like infantilizing. It was like we had teleported back

283
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: in time to twenty years ago, the same accusations and

284
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 2: angry insult. Scott flung at me, Oh my god, get

285
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: over it. He dredged up crap I had forgotten about

286
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: years ago. He ended his message warning me not to

287
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: spend time with Mary. Mary.

288
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like, and who do you want to yeah,

289
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: your sister to be with? It's ridiculous, Like does he

290
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: go do this for every person that he dates? Yeah?

291
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: I was outraged by his message. Were two grown men

292
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: and not high school kids? How can he say those

293
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: things about me and his sister? In my anger, I

294
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: messaged him back, saying that not only did I spend

295
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: time with Mary, that we slept together again. Oh, he

296
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: should get over himself.

297
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: It correct, And here's the video.

298
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Ah. No, No, I don't think he should. I don't

299
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: think he should like necessarily rub like that. That's him

300
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: and Mary's thing.

301
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: No, I'm not kidding. You shouldn't show a video, oh Vie.

302
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: I just mean in general, I don't know if you

303
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: should tell the brother that they slept together. It felt

304
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: good to retaliate like that, but I immediately had doubts.

305
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: When I talked with Mary. She wasn't upset, but she

306
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: made it clear that she would have preferred I just

307
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: ignore her brother like she does. We still are keeping

308
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: our plans to see each other again. But I realized

309
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: Mary is disappointed by my childish behavior.

310
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. It is childish because that that's like

311
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: you said, it's a moment between.

312
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mary, Mary, and.

313
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: You know she doesn't obviously her brother's already in her business.

314
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: She doesn't need her brother or in her business.

315
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: You know.

316
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. So am I the a hole for my reply

317
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: to John? I think so, not because John, you know,

318
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: is a good person. He sucks, but just because it

319
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: affects Mary as well.

320
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Go to be the bigger person in the situation.

321
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: But there is an update.

322
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: I hope.

323
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: I hope they get into a relationship. So after reading

324
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: the comments, I am not the a hole for my

325
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: relationship with Mary, obviously, but my response to John was unacceptable.

326
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: That's fair. I've apologized to Mary and she's accepted my apology.

327
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: That doesn't change the fact that I screwed up for

328
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: sharing intimate details without first asking Mary. I am the

329
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: A hole. I will never do that again.

330
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh he learned.

331
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: As for the fallout of my a whole moment, John

332
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: sent another nasty message that got even more personal, including

333
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: telling me some things about our past and my father

334
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: that were very hurtful. Following the advice of the comments,

335
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: I replied calmly and then blocked him. As I mentioned

336
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: in my post, I will be seeing Mary again.

337
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: Let yes, Let let's freaking go.

338
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: I am spending this spring slash summer back home with

339
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: my father. After his wife passed last year, he decided

340
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: to wind down his business and sell our old house.

341
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: I will be going back there for about three months

342
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: to help him with the business, fix a few things

343
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: at the house, help him pack, and just hang out together.

344
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: It's several decades of memories to be put away or donated,

345
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: so we're taking our time. Will barbecue and go to

346
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: baseball games like we did when I was a kid.

347
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: So sweet. Yeah, the Tomlessy snaps for growth.

348
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Let's go, Let's go op.

349
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: Mary and I are looking forward to seeing each other

350
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: again this summer. Our weekend together was memorable, despite my

351
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: later stupidity. There's a fair chance John will come and

352
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: try and stir crap up again, but I'm not stressing

353
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: over it. Mary means a lot to me. It will

354
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: be good to have three months to enjoy each other's

355
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: company before I have to leave again, this time for good.

356
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: I love that.

357
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: This is so sweet.

358
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: This is sweet. This is sweet.

359
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: There's a little bit more. I'm sure Mary and I

360
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: will stay in touch, maybe even see each other again

361
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: in the future. Thank you for all the comments and messages.

362
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: I read them all and Mary did too.

363
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: Wait, so are they not going to end to something?

364
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: I thought and that they were going to get together?

365
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: We have to get together.

366
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,040

00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,680

00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 3: So I twenty five female, work in event planning, so

390
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: I always get invites or tickets to high end event. Yes,

391
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 3: there was a huge event coming up that I was

392
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: really excited to go to. I asked my boyfriend twenty

393
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: seven mail three days before the event to accompany me,

394
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: and he said yes.

395
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: Nice.

396
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: So originally the plan was to be my boyfriend, my stepsister,

397
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 3: and myself. However, on the day of the event, he

398
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: said he had a doctor's appointment, so he wasn't sure

399
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: if he could attend. Oh no, I said, no problem,

400
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: and I waited for him to return home. A couple

401
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: of hours later, he texted me and said he had

402
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 3: something to tell me.

403
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: What does he have to tell you?

404
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 4: You know, it's never never good when they have something

405
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 4: to tell you that they don't tell you.

406
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like something simple to have a talk.

407
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, to something simple like what you have to

408
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: talk about? I got in and out. I got chicken nuggets.

409
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: The life threatening illness, Yeah, I'm breaking up with you

410
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: and a side of sauce. Your mom and dad don't

411
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: love each other anymore.

412
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: Goodness, your mom loves me, yeah, instead of your dad.

413
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm your new dad.

414
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 4: Lots of options.

415
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of talks out there that read

416
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: his story.

417
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

418
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

419
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: I got worried and I called him immediately.

420
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: I asked if everything was okay, and he said he

421
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: was diagnosed with anemia, so he's going to have to

422
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: start taking supplements.

423
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Is that what is a media like life threatening?

424
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 4: I think if you treat it right, it's fine.

425
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: But I think kind of like you know, back in

426
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 3: the day, like if you got like, uh asthma, it

427
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 3: could just like kill you.

428
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 4: I think it might.

429
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: I've could be literally completely wrong. Yeah, that's my sense

430
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 3: of it. I expressed how sorry I was, and I

431
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: spoke to him for about four hours, gave him PEP

432
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 3: talks and told him that I'm here if he needs me.

433
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: I reassured him that I always love him. I then

434
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: asked if he would still be able to attend the

435
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: event with me to take his mind off things, to

436
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: which he responded that he doesn't like the art performances,

437
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: so he'd rather go to a different event. Sorry, I said,

438
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 3: no problem, I'll go with my stepsister alone. He got

439
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: upset and hung up on me. Dang, you know he's done,

440
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: he's done, done with that. I called him back and

441
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: he started an argument about how I'm selfish for going

442
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: out while he is going through something. I told him

443
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 3: that I had already made the plans with my stepsister

444
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: and I can't back out now as she's depending on me.

445
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 3: I also don't drink, so I would have been the

446
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: sober driver and if I didn't go, she could not go.

447
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: I told him that this event is the only event

448
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: my sister really wanted to attend this year, and I

449
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: promised her that I would take her months prior. I

450
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: even told him I'll see him the next day, and

451
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: he said be safe and.

452
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 4: Just hung up on me again. He's just not having it.

453
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. I feel like he's like

454
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: really like he just wants to talk to someone. He's

455
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: really struggling, right, I need some support.

456
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

457
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

458
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: I got to the event around eleven and spent the

459
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: entire event alone, just sitting down and watching the show

460
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: by myself, having food and drinks. When I returned home

461
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: around two am. I called him and he was awake.

462
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: His first words were, well, well, well look who cares

463
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: about me again? Damn man salty. He's throwing it down,

464
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: he's letting it be known. I said, I am too

465
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 3: tired for this, and he responded by saying that, of

466
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: course I'm tired. I went out without knowing and he's upset.

467
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: But I love partying and meeting new people so much

468
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: that I didn't think to stay with him on the phone.

469
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: Dango, he's stilling, really betrayed right now.

470
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

471
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: I told him he's being ridiculous and I would have

472
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: stayed if it were just us who had planned to go.

473
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: He said, my priorities are off and I am an

474
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: ignorant a whole. Keep in mind, I don't attend parties

475
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 3: unless it's with family, and I only attend events a

476
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: few times a year. So am I the a hole

477
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: for not staying on the phone with him and attending

478
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: the event instead?

479
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: I kind of want to know, how, like bad?

480
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: Serious?

481
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like is this all right? Like if he was like, yo,

482
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: I just got this and I'm about to die, Yeah,

483
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: you skip the event?

484
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

485
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, But if it's like life threatening, I don't know,

486
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: like if I feel like I would, okay, depending on

487
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: how and depending how close the friend is, which it

488
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: seems like Ope and friend are cross they're in a relationship. Oh,

489
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: they're in a relationship. Yes, oh, op boyfriend, I totally

490
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: miss that. Okay, So OPI and the boyfriend have been

491
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: in a relationship for how long.

492
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 4: That we don't know. We don't know how long the relationship.

493
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: I think at any at any length, any length. Yeah, yeah,

494
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Opie's a little bit the a hole at any length.

495
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: If if, like if my if ariana said like, hey,

496
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: I just got a diagnosed with like some life threatening

497
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: illness and like I was going to a party with

498
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: a friend, I would be like, Yo, dude, I can't

499
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: go to this party. I'm really sorry. You're gonna have

500
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: to find someone else, you know, Abe, I gotta get

501
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: down with the boys. Yeah, with that girl. It's pretty

502
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: it's pretty shitty. It's pretty shitty. I think it's pretty shitty. Yeah,

503
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: I think. I think. I think Ops the a hole

504
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: for sure.

505
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so I looked it up.

506
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: So just the quick google thing is anebia can lead

507
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: to rapid or a regular heartbeat. When your anemic, your

508
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: heart pumps some more blood to make up for the

509
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: lack of oxygen.

510
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 4: This can lead to.

511
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 3: Enlarged heart or or heart failure aka a death. So

512
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: I think it's like, but I don't know how quickly

513
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: that happens, Like, like I wonder if it's kind of

514
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: like diabetes, where like as long as your blood sugar

515
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 3: is in the right range, it's okay, but you have to, like,

516
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 3: you know, your whole life changes in that scenario where

517
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: you have to make sure your blood sugar is correct.

518
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: So interesting, it seems like it's a serious diagnosis. Yeah,

519
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: maybe it's not going to affect them right away, but

520
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: it's a serious diagnosis, and it's like something that you

521
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: want to you're gonna have to deal with and be

522
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: diagnosed that day and then not have your significant other

523
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: actually like I don't know show up for you. Yeah,

524
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of shitty.

525
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 4: I want a little bit more.

526
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: It seems like this was an event that came through

527
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: her work, so I would like a little bit more. Like,

528
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: for instance, this is like an extreme scenario, but if

529
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 3: someone's like going to the Grammy's right, and then like

530
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: if you know, going to the Grammies nominated and yeah,

531
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: then someone gets like a disease that is very serious

532
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: but treatable and livable. Then maybe you're like, you know, yeah,

533
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: he's still gonna have a conversation about it.

534
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, well I guess like, how what would you

535
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: what would you not miss? Right? Right right?

536
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 4: Where's the break off the way right?

537
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: So like all right, all right, it's it's twenty nineteen. Yep, right,

538
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Kanye is still not He's crazy, but he's not current,

539
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: like like as as as off the Rockers is now

540
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: you got front front row seats. And then this Nayama

541
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: calls in and says, I have Animeia do you go

542
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: or do you let it? Or do you give it

543
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: to me?

544
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: So I do have to think I'm being honest here.

545
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 4: It depends. So okay, here I'll explain.

546
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: So I went to one Kanye show where it was

547
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: like the Sunday Service, which is much more casual, like

548
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 3: tickets for nineteen bucks.

549
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 4: I would have ditched that, yeah, if it was.

550
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: There was another concert I went to, which was two

551
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: shows before he was hospitalized, that was like this like

552
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: super crazy tour. He had this like floating state. It

553
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: was very much a moment. I paid like three hundred

554
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: and seventy.

555
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 4: Dollars for it. Yeah, that one.

556
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 3: I would have had a conversation with her and been like,

557
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: if you need me here, I'm going to be here.

558
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: But like, what would it legitimately bother you if I

559
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: if I went, Yeah, and like just like basically put

560
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 3: on the table like I'm gonna be here for you

561
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: if you need me. In all honesty, would it bother you?

562
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 4: Like?

563
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: Like what would you What would your reaction be if

564
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: I went? How would you feel if I went? Yeah,

565
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: that's my answer.

566
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: Okay, let's say you spent five grand on on the

567
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: most incredible life changing experience. It was like six months

568
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: prep right, and she says it's not like like she says,

569
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: like it's not life threatening, right, but it's like it's

570
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: like it's a it's a diagnosis that that will change

571
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: someone's life and to get it that day and she says,

572
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: John really needs you.

573
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: Well the other thing too, I mean I can actually

574
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: sell you can't sell it. Okay, so we're not unfroundtable. Yes, yeah,

575
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: this is this is a hypothetical after all. Uh that one. Honestly, like,

576
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 3: I'm less like that. The Kanye thing was more of

577
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: a like I don't know if this will ever happen again.

578
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 3: You can take like a fancy vacation anytime.

579
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: No, no, no, this is is this is this is

580
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: the Kanye equivalent. I'm actually meeting No, no, sorry, five

00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh my god. Yeah, I mean it's.

583
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Your one chance. It's your oneo. He ruins his reputation.

584
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: Nah, it's it's still I know it sounds crazy, but

585
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 3: like the concert is that's the one where I'm like,

586
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: this is like a more of a once in a

587
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: lifetime thing, which caused me to hesitate even meeting him, even,

588
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: you know, a fancy like I actually have, like.

00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: see the back of my throat, and if you could

626
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: see the back of my throat. You would understand that

627
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't have any tonsoles because I got them taken

628
00:29:59,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: out when I was like five.

629
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: They're honestly, I think they're just jealous of your your

630
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: good oral hygiene. Yeah and yeah, maybe they have inflamed

631
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: oral around the best.

632
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just.

633
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Someone has better oral. Let the record show the oral hygiene.

634
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: That is hygiene.

635
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: Let's keep it clean, guys, Let's keep you clean. That's

636
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: how we do it. And with that anyway, with that

637
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: all right, John, I got his story. I got his story.

638
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Hit me with the baby, all right. My husband openly

639
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 1: brags to me and the kids about how many women

640
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: throw themselves at.

641
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 3: Him, kind of something you don't want to uh to

642
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: brag about.

643
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. If you're like kids, you wouldn't

644
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: believe the dime that was trying to the broads that

645
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: was just throwing themselves. I could have twisted every nipple

646
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: within a mile radius of this house, but I don't.

647
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: Maybe we just used all kids.

648
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: Nineteen fifties terms describe like it was a bunch of

649
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: broads and a bunch of in themselves.

650
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: Couldn stop them. You know, I was about to I

651
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: was about to do more nineteen fifty stuff. But then

652
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: I was just like, okay, this is getting it will

653
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: get sexist, very.

654
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: Crowd, that's true. I got one though.

655
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 3: Oh god, there's uh broad's throwing themselves at me like

656
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: Dwight Eyes and Howe throwing roads on the inter estate.

657
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: Wow that wow.

658
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: See why college and no one is offended.

659
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed.

660
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: That's like the one thing I remember from APUs history,

661
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: which was like he invested very heavily in the road infrastructure.

662
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Just like this, this dad's investing in these broads. She

663
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: is is salami.

664
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: I'm salami service, yummy.

665
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean all right, my husband and I are expats

666
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: in a country where the average household considers themselves lucky

667
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: to make two thousand to three thousand dollars a year.

668
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: So we're talking, Wow, where living probably like I don't know,

669
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: like South America.

670
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, that's South Africa.

671
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: Lo low for the purpose, I know, and just just

672
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: for for reference, like that covers like two months rent.

673
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe if you're lucky, you got a deal. Yeah,

674
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: Sam is the king of deals. I try, I try.

675
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 4: I'm like the joker of deals for.

676
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: The purpose of not giving too much identifying information out,

677
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: I will be referring to the country as country E Yugoslavia. Eureka,

678
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: you figured it out. No, I'm just e countries. But

679
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: Yugoslavia is not an E country. I was about to say,

680
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: you should go on country country that begins with the.

681
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: Country that begins Estonia. No, Estonia is pretty wealthy.

682
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, I don't know if it's a

683
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Salvador L Salvador. Maybe El Salvador country e L Salvador.

684
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: Two and a half years ago, my husband, who works

685
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: in finance, was promoted to a position in which he

686
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: could finally have the compensation authorita and projects that he

687
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: always dreamed of.

688
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 4: Nice.

689
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: The downside was the position would be in the company's

690
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: headquarters in another country, and basically it required us to

691
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: move away from our families and our friends. But I

692
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: was so excited for my husband and our kids fifteen

693
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: female and ten male, were so happy about experiencing another

694
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: culture as well as supporting their dad, that we urged

695
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: my husband to take the position. So everyone's on board. Yeah,

696
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like an adventure. Family adventure, family adventure, making

697
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: more money and exotic location sounds good. What could go wrong?

698
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: Because they were telling my husband they wanted to see

699
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: him there as soon as possible asap. We agreed that

700
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: he would go settle in and we would fly over

701
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: around two months later. It seems that the moment his

702
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: plane took off towards country E marked the beginning of

703
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: the end of all his feelings of respect and appreciation

704
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: for me and the kids. Oh God, things are going downhill.

705
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: After just two months apart, I could sense a drastic

706
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: change in my husband. He went from calling me and

707
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: the kids every day to every other day, and then

708
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: reducing communication just to texts. At first, I thought he

709
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: was just busy settling in, but the night before we

710
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: went to fly out, he video chatted us, and the

711
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: kids asked him why he seemed disappointed that they were coming,

712
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: which is not what you want, awful. He said that

713
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: they were just imagining things and it was just how

714
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: his face looked on camera, which you know, maybe maybe

715
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: we'll maybe, we'll see. As we settled into our new home,

716
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: he shot us pretty resentful looks and continuously snapped at

717
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: me not to touch this or that. Like most expats,

718
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: we live in a home that was miles grander and

719
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: show we were than we could ever get back home

720
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: and with a lot of stuff like a company car

721
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: and housekeeping services paid for by the company, and my

722
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: husband had money to burn and started having ridiculously high

723
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: expectations about how we were dressed and how we look.

724
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: He bought himself loads of designer watches with his fellow

725
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: corporate masters of the Universe friends, and spent lavishly at

726
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: restaurants and bars on the company tab. He also invested

727
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: quite a bit of our money in real estate here,

728
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: since the government is pushing for foreign investors to invest,

729
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: even adopting a more liberal outward rhetoric in order to

730
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: be more appealing to the West. The country we live

731
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: in has extreme wealth disparities, most of it unfortunately not

732
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: held by locals. There is a center city where all

733
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: the high end stores, hotels, and clubs and restaurants are,

734
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: and then there are some homes in the country as well.

735
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: And despite the fact that this country is technically conservative,

736
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: escorting is rampant and is an outgrowth of the generally

737
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: desperate economic straits of families and the fact that it

738
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: is obvious who has money and therefore where to go

739
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: and who to target. So basically a bunch of escorts

740
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: are going to the city center to drum up some business.

741
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: The Western folkike escorts are apparently and basically everywhere in

742
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: the area we live where there are restaurants or bars

743
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: or entertainment. When men see dressed up local women in

744
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: pairs roaming around in establishments, they just assume they're escorts,

745
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: and of the time they're right. Oh. Man, an next

746
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: fat friend once asked a woman who approached him at

747
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: a bar, which he did for a living, and she said,

748
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: what does it look like I do for a living?

749
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: I see. My husband then started criticizing my appearance a lot,

750
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: and when we'd go out, he'd ask if I ever

751
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: considered wearing my hair like women a B or c.

752
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: Or we'll go out to eat as a family and

753
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: he will ignore what the kids are saying and just

754
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: stare at different women, which's disrespectful. Man, absolutely, like, keep

755
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: your eyes on your food, or your wife or your

756
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: kids or your kids. Yeah, when his friends come over,

757
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: my husband always brags in front of me about the

758
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: women that approached him, not just at bars, but he

759
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: also brags about how local women who work in the

760
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: office with him are also exceptionally engaging. He even got

761
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: pretty aggressive when we were hooking up, and wanted to

762
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: choke me and pee on me. This is getting dark,

763
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: This is getting dark. When we tried some more intense stuff,

764
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: he pulled my hair hard enough to draw blood, and

765
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: when I said I didn't want to do it anymore,

766
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: he started screaming that a bunch of women who looked

767
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: exactly like his type would be eager to do it

768
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: all and more for less than I spend on dinner. Geez, god, jeez,

769
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm not having fun. My daughter found a bunch of

770
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: contacts on his phone that blew up his phone with

771
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: flirty messages on WhatsApp, and instead of at least pretending

772
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: to be ashamed for a daughter's sake, he went, well,

773
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: at least your dad's still attractive.

774
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 4: How is that supposed to make a kid feel better?

775
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you're cheating on mom, and it's like

776
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: your dad's got some pretty good looks, still good looking. No, No,

777
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: that's not how you handle it. And then it turned

778
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: into a diatribe about how you had to give out

779
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: the number to one woman because you look close to

780
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: tears when you tried to pull away, which likely story wrote, well,

781
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: most women are respectful when a man is with his

782
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: wife and or a family. Sometimes it happens where we're

783
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: at restaurants and hotels and my husband is just like

784
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: a regular there for dinner, and then women who I

785
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: assume are also regulars will disregard my presence and give

786
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: me scornful once overs. When we were out as a

787
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: family and my husband sees a woman give his attire

788
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: and improving once over, he will smile flirtatiously back and

789
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: seem to bask in the glow and not pay any

790
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: attention to me or the kids.

791
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 4: And it's like, these are people who just want your money.

792
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, this has nothing nothing to do with your life,

793
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: nothing at all. I was trying to milk you for

794
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: all it's worth.

795
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 4: Move moo mooh.

796
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: I've been to support groups and have been told to

797
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: let it wear off because many other wives have experienced

798
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: their husbands being drunk on attention. Also, what kind of

799
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: supportment is that?

800
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 4: It's like terrible, it's for your fault.

801
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: Just the boys will be boys, husbands will be husbands.

802
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: Who's giving this support?

803
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a terrible support.

804
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 4: Support joined the okop support Yeah yeah.

805
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: We'll give you better support than Frick and whatever you're getting.

806
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: But my husband seems to be getting more and more

807
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: obsessed with the attention. My son is young, but he

808
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: has gone from happy, go lucky to glaring at his

809
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: father and whoever he is smiling at. My husband and

810
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: I have tried to communicate, but everything turns into my fault.

811
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: I do not appreciate his contributions enough, he says. I

812
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: don't appreciate his contributions enough when I disagree with him,

813
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: saying the kids don't need to learn how to do

814
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: laundry because the housekeeper will do it for them. I

815
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: also don't appreciate him when he continually asked a hook

816
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: up for the third time in a night. I do

817
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: not appreciate him when I move the furniture from how

818
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: he organized it, or when I disagree with him on anything.

819
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: I started tracking our banking information and found out that

820
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: he made numerous large withdrawals. He denied vehemiently that he

821
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: was seeing escorts and said I seem jealous and had

822
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: something against people who escorts, like I don't use escorts,

823
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: But how dare you judge people who use escorts? I

824
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: don't use them, but you should have judged them.

825
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 4: Oh Man, I told.

826
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: Him that to the contrary, I feel bad for people

827
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: who need to put their lives in helse at risk

828
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: like this, and that these people don't have any forms

829
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: of government assistant. We had a big fight that night,

830
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: and I went to stay with a friend for the

831
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: night to cool off. When I came back home, he

832
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: glared at me and said, oh, you're back. What if

833
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't want you here anymore? Excuse me, rude, excuse me, rude.

834
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: I do not know what to do. My support group

835
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: keeps telling me that he will get off his power trip,

836
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: but if I leave him, I will likely lose any

837
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: assets I have here. My kids obviously still have school

838
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: and love their classmate. I need any advice on how

839
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: to save my marriage or how to get my husband

840
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: to stop thinking that I am not enough for him

841
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: when I haven't changed from when we were not expats,

842
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: while he respected and appreciated me Back at home, he

843
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: scorns me here. What should I do?

844
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 4: Wow? I mean, God, what a bro?

845
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: The post says it all, break up with, leave with

846
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: the kids, get a divorce.

847
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, got he like, run far, far away.

848
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: He's treating you like garbage, like he's not doing anything

849
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: at all.

850
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's and also it's like.

851
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: It's just so clear his behavior before and after, so

852
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: it's like something there made him change.

853
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: And I think we all have a pretty good idea

854
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: of what that was.

855
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, escorts, yep, but man, run for the hills, bro,

856
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:24,719
