Speaker 1: away three months ago.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Rough, very rough.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Richard lived with my boyfriend's sister, Amy, but we've spent

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: the past two years helping out every single weekend, going

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: to hospital visits, staying the night quite often, and the

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: three months before he passed away, we were visiting every

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: other day as well as helping out with the chores,

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: cleaning up and giving Amy a break.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: Man. They're putting in the work and everything put in

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: the work, put in the hours. I also what's ours.

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I also really liked Richard and thought he was an

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: amazing father, so I was also very upset at the situation.

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: When his dad got diagnosed. John requested that I don't

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: talk to him about anything negative going on in my

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: life because he was too stressed to deal with anyone

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: else's petty issues while his father was dying and has

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: not seen my family in two years because he said

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: he didn't have the mental energy to deal with him. Shit,

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: a little suspect if you ask me. Uh, he is

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: in therapy already and has been for the past two years.

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I complied, and a few times I slipped up and

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: told him about the things going on in my life.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: For two years. It's a long time to not like

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: be there for.

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Your barn, say one thing, you know, be able to vent.

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: One time he told me that it is rude of

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: me to talk about my stupid problems when he has

36
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: such big ones going on.

37
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: Oh, that's kind of shitty. Yeah, I know you're going

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: through a tough time, op or not. Or I know,

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: like the guy's going through a tough time. But like,

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: if you're going to be in a relationship, you have

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: to it's too much. It's too much, you know, ears

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: a long time. You're getting support, a lot of support

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: from her, Like, yeah, you gotta give a little.

44
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Last week, I got passed over for a big promotion

45
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: and work even though I've gotten super great reviews, and

46
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned how annoyed I was about it once again.

47
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: My boyfriend said he doesn't need to hear about my

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: small problems while he is grieving. Yep, I've been emotionally

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: drained for years at this stage. And I asked him

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: when will I be able to talk to him about

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: my problems without him belittling them? And I said that

52
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: his father being dead does not mean that my problems

53
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: are completely invalid. This is true. I also asked him

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: when he thinks our relationship can go back to being

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: mutually supportive, and he said, are you seriously asking me

56
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: when I'll beginning over my dad dying?

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: This guy's kind of like emotionally manipulating her a little bit.

58
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: It's a bit too much. Like this is like actual manipulation.

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: It seems like he's like using his father's death to

60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: not be a good partner.

61
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: A stute observation. Samuel I said, I was kind of

62
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: in a way, and he got really upset. Wow, doubling baby,

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: are you asking whatever gonna get over my dying dad? Yes?

64
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: I feel like he's spinning the whole situation as relationships

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: should be a give and take.

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. Like I think two years is

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: a long time and like that's a weird stipulation to say, like.

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: You can't talk to me any problems.

69
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: Yeah for two years. Yeah, that's kind of shitty. So

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: you might understand like, hey, like I really like this,

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: you know, like a week or even.

72
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, or just like just like a hey, like

73
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: you can share stuff with me, but I might not

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: be my my full support of self given everything that's

75
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: on my mind. That's a lot more understandable, right, But for.

76
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Two years, it's a long time years. That's like, that

77
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: feels like a new normal.

78
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Leave it. Leave
