1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: My boyfriend decided after two years that he wanted kids,

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: but I told him from the start.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: I do not want any That's rough.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: My boyfriend and I moved in together about a year ago.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: I've been very clear from the second date that we

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: ever went on that I don't want biological kits. I've

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: discussed it at length with him, and until about two

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: and a half weeks ago, I thought we were on

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: the same page. He told me he didn't think he

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: could do another eighteen years of child rearing, as he

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: already has a ten year old daughter. She has just

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: moved in with us in January, and too be clear,

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: op is twenty nine and boyfriend is thirty seven. By

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: the way, this comes from throway infj on the Best

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: of editor updates subridit. He bought a house, We got

16
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: a dog together. I was planning for an entire life

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: with him and his daughter. Originally, he told me he

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: bought the house so that his daughter would have a bedroom.

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: He told me the other night, his entire purpose in

20
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: marrying me was to have a Child's that's crazy to

21
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: say that my entire purpose in marrying you was the

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: thing that you never wanted to do.

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Did he rehearse that at all, or was that just

24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: the first thing that he was just like, been holding

25
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: this in for so long, bab.

26
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Babe sharks, I'd like to propose a child, and that

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: the whole reason he brought the house was so we

28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: could build towards having an actual family, minimizing the one

29
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: we already have. I've been crying in secret for two weeks.

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: I finally accepted yesterday that I probably can't stay in

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: this relationship. I wanted marriage, and he's telling me that

32
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: marriage is innately tied to having a child with him.

33
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: I can't compromise that part of myself, and I'm also

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: trying not to spiral. My car broke down unexpectedly yesterday's

35
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: raining oil out of the bottom, and I have no savings.

36
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I've been living paycheck to paycheck. I've been spending money

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: on our mortgage, four pets, on activities with his daughter,

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: on paying down credit, a lot of things kind of spiraling. Yeah,

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: that's I have no idea what my next step should

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: even be. And the worst part is that I love

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: him so much still. He is such a good person

42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: and everything feels so normal, except that he doesn't want

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: to get married. Anymore, and he wants to have a

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: kid and I still don't. I'm struggling to see solutions.

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I know I need to leave, but logistically I'm having

46
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: so much difficulty figuring this out, especially trying to sort

47
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: through my feelings in the midst of it. And edit

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: to clarify, I am not on the mortgage with him.

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: I told him I would not sign anything together until

50
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: if we ever married. I have been contributing to basic

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: cost of living things, mortgage payment bills, groceries, et cetera.

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Because I care about him and thought we were building

53
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: towards a life together. I don't want him to have

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: to do things alone because I believe we were in

55
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: a partnership. He has helped support me as well. However,

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: he has also ignored my voice in ways I dismissed

57
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: and I'm able to see now. I want to say,

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: I really appreciate everyone's suggestions and support, and there is

59
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: an update. But yeah, it seems like if she she's

60
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: now noticing that he doesn't really care about her opinions,

61
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: He's just like, yeah, babe, yeah, And then later he's like,

62
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I'll convince her. I'll convince you that I'm right it's.

63
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: Kind of like it's given like the energy of like yeah,

64
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: but you know, like a woman's purpose is to give birth.

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I know that, right. It's like, I know you didn't

66
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: want to do that earlier, but you were a kid.

67
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: You're an adult now you have to think about the children,

68
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: your legacy.

69
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: This guy feels like he uh maybe he listens to

70
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk and ironically not gonna lie.

71
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: I actually don't know the reference, but I know I

72
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: can apply.

73
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: I feel bad. I feel bad for you. I'm not

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: even gonna repeat his name because I just he's so gross,

75
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: but I.

76
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Can imply with you. Man, just just a.

77
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: Guy who's like like women, right, women have a specific

78
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: biological assumption, and that's it. One day she's gonna find out,

79
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: and once she has my child that we agreed that

80
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: was not gonna be had, she'll be like thanks.

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: She'll flip it. She wow, you were right all along.

82
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: And I'll be like, yeah, bib, I'm a man.

83
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the Oh I'm the man.

84
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Boy.

85
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: That's why I had that idea.

86
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: But there's an update. So several people requested an update. Boy,

87
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: have I got one for you. I dropped my vehicle

88
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: at the mechanics on Friday and waited until Tuesday to

89
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: hear anything back. He called me back on Tuesday afternoon,

90
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: once I was just off work, to tell me that

91
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: he had diagnosed the problem and it was going to

92
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: be less than three hundred dollars to fix it. He

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: told me it would be about a week before it

94
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: was done. I began to make arrangements with a kind

95
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: coworker of mine for rides to work, and then that

96
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: evening I got a call from the mechanic again. He

97
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: told me that he had gotten hold of the part

98
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: he needed, replaced it, and that my car would be

99
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: ready for pickup that evening. Tuesday night, when I got

100
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: home from this, however, my boyfriend and I ended up

101
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: in an extremely intense discussion during which he once again

102
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: clarified that he doesn't give two craps about getting married.

103
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Not only did he make us abundantly clear, he actually

104
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: spent about two hours essentially dismissing, minimizing, and deflecting the

105
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: importance of marriage to me, and kept throwing it in

106
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: my face that the way I feel about marriage with

107
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: him is the way he feels about kids with me.

108
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: He said nothing would change if we got married. But

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: when I asked why it matters so much, if nothing

110
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: would actually change, why wouldn't you just get married to

111
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: me since it's obviously important to me, I got no

112
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: response of any substance, only deflection and patronization. It was

113
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: honestly devastating and I couldn't do a justice type out,

114
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: but I spent from nine pm until one in the

115
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: morning prying, and I sob myself to sleep. There was

116
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: no room for denial at that point, and because my

117
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: vehicle had miraculously been fixed, I had an out. Wednesday,

118
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: I contacted a local landlord who I had rented from previously.

119
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: I asked if they had any units available, and they did,

120
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: within my price range at a flat rate. She told

121
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: me she would call me back, and she did, and

122
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: she said I could come back in the next day

123
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: to look at it, which brings us to today. It

124
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: seems like go peas on the way out, which is

125
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: I think they can't. They've reached a standstill. I think

126
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: they're at an impassable moment.

127
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: Here the whole like how you feel a out marriage,

128
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: how I feel about kids is like, well, I mean,

129
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: if you get married, like it's two separate things.

130
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: They are two separate things.

131
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: And he's putting them like both as one. He's like,

132
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: that's the package deal for me.

133
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: The thing is that he's not necessarily wrong about, you know,

134
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: his If he wants to have kids, he should have kids. However,

135
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: the fact that that wasn't the first thing he said

136
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: when they started dating, of I want to have kids.

137
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: He purposely misled her, hoping that she would change her mind.

138
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: That's the bad part. Yet, Like it can be.

139
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: You're deal breaker, but if you're going to try and

140
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: like trick someone into taking your side, then that's not

141
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship, not at all.

142
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: Folks got and he was just lying from the beginning

143
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: to like, that's why that we got the house, because

144
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: you're having a baby in this house. Baby, And she's like, no,

145
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: I fixed my car not after.

146
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: I got off work, I went straight to the landlord's

147
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: office and called the keys to go look at the apartment.

148
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: It's tiny, but it's perfect, no room for kids. I

149
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: decided to take it, and I knew that when I

150
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: got home, I had to tell him. He came home

151
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: after me, and when he walked in the door, I

152
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: asked if he had any plans made prior that evening,

153
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: and he said no, I didn't want to disrupt anything

154
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: that he had intended to do with the conversation of

155
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: me moving out, but it turned out that he didn't,

156
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: so we had it. I initiated by telling him I

157
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: was moving out, and when he asked why.

158
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: Crazy, why could I possibly be moving out? Where's this

159
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: coming out?

160
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: We were all good. I told him that it was

161
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: clear from our conversations over the last couple of weeks

162
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: that there have been a lot of unspoken expectations that

163
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: were afecting our relationship and there was no way to

164
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: gain clarity about those while we were living together. In

165
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: that conversation, he told me that he had invested everything

166
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: in our relationship, and he asked me what I had invested.

167
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: He acted as though I had railroaded him through our

168
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: entire relationship and told me that he was compromising on

169
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: having children. But the one time that he asks me

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: for anything, I refuse to compromise. He guilt tripped me

171
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: again about how he's either having kids with me or

172
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to have them at all. Dodo's age

173
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: and this is his last chance, so that's not even

174
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: true for you.

175
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: Did you say not going to have them at all

176
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: with a whole daughter.

177
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: He has a whole daughter. He has a whole, life

178
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: sized daughter. He told me he'd never date again if

179
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: our relationship doesn't work. He blamed me for having to

180
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: explain what is happening to his daughter, And based on

181
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: what he said, I don't think he's going to let

182
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: me say goodbye to her. What is he going to say, oh,

183
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: your stubmom or You're like, I'm.

184
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: Pretty sure the daughter would be siding with the.

185
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: He's like, she won't let me have a daughter, and

186
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm right.

187
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: She like, yeah, weeks ago, you already had me.

188
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: He had me, you want another one? What's why? He

189
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: was surprised when I told him that I wanted the

190
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: dog to stay with him, And I said, I'm doing

191
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: this because marriage and children and relationships don't have a

192
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: gray area. This is true. You either have a child

193
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: or you don't. I don't see a way to bridge

194
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: that gap because we want different things essentially. And I said,

195
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not ending the relationship because I don't care about him,

196
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: his daughter, are life, the dog, anything. But I'm doing

197
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: it because I believe this is the right thing to

198
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: do right now. I even told him I could be wrong,

199
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: but I wasn't sure what else to say, and he

200
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: went back to marriage, not changing anything about the relationship

201
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: and minimizing the value of it. He said he would

202
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: still essentially be doing everything in the relationship and committing

203
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: to it without marriage, and I responded to that by

204
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: saying I didn't understand how he could make all these

205
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: commitments and invest so much but be unwilling to fully

206
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: commit through marriage. And the final nail in the coffin

207
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: for me was when he says he views marriage as

208
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: an institution and he doesn't need a piece of paper

209
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: to validate his relationship.

210
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: Okay, but also kind of low key.

211
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Facts that is, but it's important to Opie and he's

212
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: the only reason that he's not getting married is because

213
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: he wants like something to hold over her head.

214
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it would be harder to leave her, Yeah,

215
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: probably if they got married.

216
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: And that he, unlike me, was not brought up in

217
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: a religious environment of sheep that led him to believe

218
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: marriage was the make or break of a success relationship.

219
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: After that, I cried a lot. I went to get

220
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: some ice cream, smart nice and feel better. Now I'm

221
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: going to start moving my stuff into the new apartment tomorrow,

222
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: and everything worked out at a rapid rate that tells

223
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: me I'm on the right track. Thanks to the community

224
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: for the encouragement here. I thought I was going crazy,

225
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: and then after this conversation tonight, I realized that the

226
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: only time I actually feel crazy is after I talk

227
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: to him. Boom, mic drop. I can't drop this one.

228
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: I can't drop this mic I wanted. That's the mic dropping.

229
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to having my own place again quiet,

230
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: just for me. I know that I'll still be sad

231
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: for a while, but I also know that I'm going

232
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: to be okay. And there's a little bit more to

233
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: the story. But oh my, there's multiple comments. Come on,

234
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: this is a commoner from op okay. There's two more

235
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: comments from op okay. One comment is fit It says,

236
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: I have to say I'm a stranger, but I've been

237
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: in relationships that make me feel stupid and crazy and

238
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you, and Opie says, thank you

239
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: for this. You made me cheer up. I've been crying

240
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: for two weeks straight, almost, and today is the first

241
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: day I haven't felt that weight. And then they add

242
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: more info. Opie says I think I said somewhere in

243
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: urn earlier comment that there were probably signs that I

244
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: didn't register as relevant or important. I think mainly because

245
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: most of the concerns I began to notice only after

246
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: we moved in together, which I think is when most

247
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: when you really find out about a person.

248
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: Yes, is when you leave. A big test is when

249
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: you're like, I can't get away from this person, this

250
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: is not fun, and I kind of want to get

251
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: away from this person. Okay, sorry, I'm scared.

252
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: But the dismissal and sudden change in his attitude towards

253
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: marriage tells me he was not ready to make a

254
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: full commitment. Looking back, we began to have intimacy issues

255
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: starting around the one year mark, shortly after moving in together.

256
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: It is only continued to progress, and I think a

257
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: lot of it had to do with him harboring these

258
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: feelings and resentments. He was dishonest with me. But the

259
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: crappiest thing about manipulation is that I think most people

260
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: who are manipulating don't do it with the malicious intent.

261
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: He didn't mean so, you're such a sweetheart.

262
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: I think what she's saying is that people who are

263
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: manipulative think that they are right, often.

264
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: Like they don't even think that they're the bad government.

265
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: They're just being like, well.

266
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,119
Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm yeah, you just don't understand.

267
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: Listen to this, babe. This will make it. It'll make

268
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: sense soon.

269
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, But that doesn't excuse it. And unfortunately, I allowed

270
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: myself to get into a position where I trusted and

271
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: relied on him more than I knew him, which led

272
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: me to be willing to make commitments to him moving in,

273
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: helping with living costs and his daughter that I should

274
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: have waited to do until I was sure that we

275
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: were compatible. The way that he's acting right now, it's

276
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: as though we were a mutual deadlock in our values.

277
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't see it that way, and I believe that

278
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: his commentary when I told him I was moving out

279
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: was a combination of feeling devastated and heartbroken and all

280
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: so extremely scared because he knows the reality behind how

281
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: I have supported him and helped him in our relationship,

282
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: especially with his daughter. He lashed out because he was

283
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: defensive and hurt. I'm grateful to report though he's currently

284
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: acting like I don't exist. So the moving process has

285
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: been relatively painless and I can tell that he's very

286
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and sad right now, just like me. I'm terrified,

287
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: but I also feel in my soul that this was

288
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and I know these feelings

289
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: will pass. Thank you for your encouragement, but that is

290
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: the end of that story. Ah boy, oh boy. Yeah,

291
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: I think definitely get away from him. I don't think

292
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: you can move past this. My girlfriend is lying about

293
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: going to yoga classes. She refuses to admit it. Me

294
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: male twenty eight living together with my girlfriend, female twenty

295
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: eight for about a year or so, together for four

296
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: We both have a good relationship and nothing out of

297
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: the ordinary. By the way, this comes from throwaway because

298
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: of GFH on the Best of Redditor update subred So.

299
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I work at a delivery company that does express deliveries

300
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: all over the province I live in. Because we have

301
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: express shifts, we have to take a delivery van home

302
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: every day. We can also use this van for private trips.

303
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: The company sometimes has to deliver very expensive goods. Therefore,

304
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: the vans were equipped with a GPS tracker that can

305
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: locate the van at any given time. A few months ago,

306
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: my girlfriend started taking yoga classes in the evening, so

307
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: when we both got back from work we would eat

308
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: and in case I was not on express shift, she

309
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: could take the van to her yoga class. And now

310
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: herein lies the problem. It has a tracking.

311
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: You're in the corporate lowjacked sprinter van. You can't argue.

312
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: We can't get away speA co ordinates. Babe.

313
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: We live very close to a border. Europe has open borders,

314
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: but we can only go to other countries with permission

315
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: of the company. It's an insurance thing, as far as

316
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: I understand. Last week, my supervisor told me that in

317
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: nine cases my van was in the neighboring country in

318
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: the evening without permission. This was very odd because she

319
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: told me where she had the yoga classes and this

320
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: was definitely not out of the country. She's like, Babe,

321
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: they're really good yoga classes. They're just in like, you know,

322
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: a couple of countries. I hushed my Kusha yoga class,

323
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: saspotis lukschen Borga.

324
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: They're in Germany, they're German.

325
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: They're German. Where the German they're German?

326
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: Maybe actually no that she I feel like she'd be

327
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: angry if she was German, or he would be because

328
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: were a people. Have you heard German?

329
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: This was very odd. I knew I couldn't go out

330
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: of the country, so I'm sure I didn't. He's like,

331
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: wasn't me? Did I just forget? I didn't tell my

332
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: supervisor about the yoga thing, but I asked him for

333
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: the exact location so I could take a look at it.

334
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: What I found was all the nine times where exactly

335
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: the time she had taken the van retracing WhatsApp times

336
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: from the on my way to the time of a

337
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: departure or a match. So he knows it was.

338
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: Her and that she was coming from that place because

339
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: when she got back.

340
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: I got home that day and decided I was not

341
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: going to ask her upfront. However, I did ask her

342
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: where she had the yoga classes, and she said the

343
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: same place as last time, so she's basically denying that

344
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: she was in another country. During the evening, I made

345
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: up a BS story that I co work got in

346
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: trouble for driving over the border without permission. She seemed

347
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: a bit shocked or somewhat but did not give any

348
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: ordinary response or anything. The address I have is just

349
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: a parking spot in some neighborhood. I drove there last

350
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: night with my private car to see if I could

351
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: find anything. But it's just houses in a park. A

352
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: quick Google search shows no yoga things anywhere around. If

353
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: this houses that kind of yoga buddy, she's flexible. I

354
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: could follow her the next time she has yoga classes,

355
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: just to see where she's going and then confront her afterwards.

356
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Or should I just tell her now? This is all

357
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: really stressing me out at the moment. Any advice would

358
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: be great, and there are some edits and an update

359
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: to this story.

360
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: Edit.

361
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: I will give an update as soon as I have

362
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: confronted her. This will be possible on Friday night shifts,

363
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: et cetera. I've read all of your comments and I

364
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: would like to highlight slash clarify some things in my

365
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: country of cars either insured or it's not. Anyone can

366
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: drive it as long as there's insurance on the car.

367
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: There are a few scenarios which I can find in

368
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: the comments. I know I am hoping it's not cheating,

369
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: but I think that is the most obvious. She has

370
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: used some in the past recreational, but has not done

371
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: this anymore for a long time. I would highly doubt

372
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: she would hide it from me if she was using substances.

373
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Since she told me about her substance bar past in

374
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: the very beginning of the relationship, and she's very open

375
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: about it, it could be that, yeah, if she's had

376
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: a past with it, it could.

377
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: Be I strongly disagree with the sentiment that he says.

378
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that she would like I feel like

379
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: she would just tell me if she'd relapsed. It's like, no,

380
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: I went through. Yeah, she's like the shame of that would.

381
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Be like, yeah, you want to hide it.

382
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: I think that vand Luxembourg for I don't know what

383
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: she's doing.

384
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: It also might be a legality thing if she's going

385
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: out of the country. I mean, obviously she could be cheating,

386
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: but maybe like, oh.

387
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: Maybe she can't get prosecuted for it in the country

388
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: that she lives in.

389
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Or maybe like a country it's something is legal in one.

390
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. She also doesn't look any different as normal.

391
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: This also makes me think that smuggling across the border

392
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: is highly unlikely. I know everybody is telling me not

393
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: to be a detective, but I want to confront her

394
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: face to face, which is only possible on Friday. In

395
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: the meantime, I have been doing some detective work to

396
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: kill the time. Like, don't worry, guys, I'm staying busy.

397
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: I know they told me not to do this, and

398
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: he immediately started doing it.

399
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, what I have found out is that she has

400
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: two girls in her Facebook friends lift that live in

401
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: this village where she's been going. I do not know them,

402
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: nor is she ever spoken to me about them. I

403
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: managed to pinpoint the exact address of one of these girls,

404
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: and they pretty much match with the location the GPS

405
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: pointed out. Don't worry, I will not go there. I

406
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: can just use this if she would deny anything. So

407
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: now there's friends involved.

408
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't like say you're going to yoga

409
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: and then drive out of the country.

410
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: No, there's something going on.

411
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: She does not realize that this van is lojacked. Yeah,

412
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: he knows exactly where she's where she's going, and it's

413
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: not yoga, I mean unless what unless it's like yoga club,

414
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: like I'll book.

415
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: So her friends are having yoga classes. But I think

416
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: she said specifically that the yoga place was near them

417
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: or something, and now she's he knows that she's lying

418
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: because she's not at the place. Then she said she

419
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to be at. So it's not even like

420
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: there's a yoga class in this other country because she's

421
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: lying about the destination. But there's an update, so we'll

422
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: find out if he's a good detective or not one

423
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: week later. Sorry for the late update, but I needed

424
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: some time to think things through. She got home on

425
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Friday and I confronted her with the fact that the

426
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: van had been abroad without permission and that it had

427
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: to be her that was driving there. She straight up

428
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: said she indeed went abroad, but she didn't know I

429
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: could get in trouble for it. I asked her to

430
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: explain why she was lying about going there. She decided

431
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: to do yoga because she has had some back issues

432
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: from her past. However, she knew a girl the one

433
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: abroad in her Facebook that was all spiritual and could

434
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: heal her by doing a few sessions at her home.

435
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: She knows I think this is BS, so she decided

436
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: to tell me that she was going for yoga classes,

437
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: but instead went to this spiritual girl. Do we believe her?

438
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: It could be true? Could be true. We do know

439
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: that the friends you know, the friend's location is the

440
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: same GOODBADERU could not be true, though I don't know.

441
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: I think you just have to. That doesn't seem like

442
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: something that you would hide. Yeah, it's like you'd just

443
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: be upfront about that. It's like how long it had

444
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: been they've been together?

445
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Oh, why it's his girlfriend, but still there.

446
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't want to make she.

447
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: Can borrow the car.

448
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, she's letting, he's letting you take his

449
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: work family, he's not. He's I think he's gonna be

450
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: okay if you're an adult, even if he doesn't believe

451
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: you're crystal healing. Yeah.

452
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I was kind of confused because I expected something entirely

453
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: different to be going on. I was also having troubles

454
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: believing her. She insisted I went with her on Saturday

455
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: to see that nothing weird was going on. So I

456
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: did this girl did some weird meditation, drew some cards,

457
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: and did some other witchcraft crap. My girlfriend then had

458
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: to pay forty five euros for this. I kept my cool,

459
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: but to be honest, I'm pissed off at this girl.

460
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: The only thing she does is ill hoped desperate people,

461
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: people with real issues that need to get real medical attention.

462
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: On our way home was pretty awkward I didn't know

463
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: what to say. The Tumble says, sounds like she's getting

464
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: a raikie session. We talked yesterday and I explained to

465
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: her that I was angry because of the fact that

466
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: she had to lie about something like this. She said

467
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: she was afraid of my response and just wanted to

468
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: see if this could help. I told her that she

469
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: can do whatever she wants except lie about it. She

470
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: promised me she would never do that again. I am

471
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: still really confused about all this. I think she's wasting

472
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: money and instead of throwing it at some freaky witch girl,

473
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: she could be investing it in things that would actually

474
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: improve her back. On the other hand, I am glad

475
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: she's not cheating. I was almost certain that that had

476
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: to be the case.

477
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, brother, just enjoy the w that she's not throwing

478
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: it back. She's just throwing money in the trash. That's fine.

479
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: Let her do that.

480
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: That's fine. You can work with that.

481
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I will say I've met people personally,

482
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: and you guys can believe me or not. I've met

483
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: people personally. They can like there are people out there

484
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: who can do weird healing stuff like acupan.

485
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different non Western medicine and like

486
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: treatments and stuff that do have you know, do work.

487
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: This guy used frequency light healing.

488
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the red light.

489
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: Like no, like he was like like he was like

490
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: a conduit of some sort of energy. And I swear

491
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: to god he had Like there were all these people

492
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: who were like this guy fixed my Crohn's disease and

493
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: my chronic this my chronic dad. Doctors told me I'd

494
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 2: be like this forever and I saw this guy and

495
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: he fixed it. He's very spiritual gurog.

496
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, if it works for those people,

497
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: then they have a right to spend their own money

498
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: as long as long as she's not stealing yours.

499
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: But it's you know, it's like that I might be legit,

500
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: but is this other person in Luxembourg or wherever maybe legit?

501
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. Dutchess Sona says, yeah, there's the placebo

502
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: effect at the very least. I mean, minds are very powerful.

503
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into the relevant comments.

504
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: Stella relax.

505
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: Quebec Qubac says, if she felt the need to lie

506
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: about this because of how you'd react, maybe you need

507
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: to consider your general reactions sounds like she was afraid

508
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: of your judgment, and the phrase freaky witch girls seems

509
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: to cool operate that, Opie says. I think I know

510
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: why she was scared of my reactions. We have a

511
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: big group of friends which we have known for ages,

512
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: and we discuss a lot of things in this group

513
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: when we are all together. There are a few dumps

514
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: in this group who tend to believe everything about anything.

515
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking flatter chemtrails, steel beams, and hoaxing a moon

516
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: landing fun.

517
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: So befriends interesting those people.

518
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: When these discussions take place, we disagree with each other

519
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: and things can get very heated. Even though we don't agree,

520
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: we're still very good friends after these discussions. I am

521
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: almost one hundred percent certain we probably once talked about

522
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: medium's alternative medicine, et cetera. She has probably heard what

523
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: I said about it and thinks I would not approve,

524
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: And that is the other comment is not necessary to read. Indeed,

525
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: that is the end of that story. I called my

526
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: boyfriend out for breaking the rules of our relationship. He

527
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: called me a horrible name.

528
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait to find out what it is.

529
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm female twenty seven crying after my boyfriend maw five

530
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: called me a how come he won't listen to me? Oh,

531
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: that's already.

532
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: That's pretty bad.

533
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. My boyfriend is working three hours away.

534
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: We both still go out and have fun because we

535
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: trust each other. I honestly was not worried when I

536
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: saw his location at a local dance spot in the

537
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: town he's temporarily living in. I just got worried because

538
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the last time we were there, some girls bumped his

539
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: pool stick midshot and caused him to bump the wrong

540
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: pool ball into a hole. He was pissed by the way.

541
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: This comes from kilb Kamana on the r slash Okay

542
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: storytime subvered it. So the girl immediately apologized, and he said,

543
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: in a loud and stern voice, just don't do it again.

544
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: He's like, I would have won.

545
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna get me mail pregnant. That's too much, too

546
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: much testosterone, and he shoots it.

547
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: Her friends started talking crap, and then my best friend

548
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: screamed over everyone to knock it off, and she shut

549
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing down immediately. The girls apologized, offered a

550
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: bias around, and that was that. So when I see

551
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: his location there that's why I got a little worried,

552
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: because he got mad last time we were there. I

553
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: didn't say anything, just replied to his text to whatever

554
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: we were texting about and went to sleep. He called

555
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: me at two am when he was home, and that's

556
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: when I said, it made me feel uneasy seeing he

557
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: was there. It all went a crap at that point.

558
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: He accused me of accusing him that he was with

559
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: another girl and doing something wrong, and that he didn't

560
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: do anything wrong. He saw his coworker. That's why he went, sorry,

561
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: this is how I'm make sure I was with.

562
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: Another girl, and I wasn't with another girl. I was

563
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: with my coworker, and that's why I.

564
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: Went, that's bad.

565
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm just. I'm just. I was just concerned that you

566
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: were at the at the last time you were there.

567
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: It sounds a lot like you're saying, was a girl

568
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: my coworker who is a woman.

569
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: Where were they? I also said I didn't know we

570
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: were allowed to go to clubs because him and I

571
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: have said before clubs are for single people only unless

572
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: you're significant others there. I don't necessarily agree with that,

573
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: but if you have your own agreements in your relationship,

574
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: that's up to you.

575
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of variables that go into

576
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: that decision. Yeah, it sits up to the Yeah, up

577
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: to the people it happens. So in my head, that

578
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: was an unspoken rule for us. But again, I wasn't worried,

579
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: and I waited till he got home so I could

580
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: then talk about it. If I brought it up through

581
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: text while he was there, he definitely would take it

582
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: the wrong way. But I guess he took it the

583
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: wrong way.

584
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: Anyways. This argument continued to this morning because I couldn't

585
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: get through to him the night before because he was

586
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: you just wouldn't listen to a word I said. He said,

587
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm making him feel like I don't trust him by

588
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: saying that, and I repeated myself saying I do trust you.

589
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: I was not worried. I just went to sleep till

590
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: two am when you got home. Please listen when I

591
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm not accusing you of anything. I love you.

592
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm trying to do. I told him,

593
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: you didn't even ask why I felt uneasy. You just

594
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: jumped to conclusions that I'm attacking you. Then I explained

595
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: what happened last time, and that's why this is where

596
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: he called me is or I should say, he insinuated

597
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I had that behavior.

598
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: Okay, but wait, those two are two yeah things. Those

599
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: are not the same. I mean they're both bad, but

600
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: they are differend he I mean, he's all, like, you're

601
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: employing to that. I'm a sweet because I'm what, I

602
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: out there with the other girl? What you would probably

603
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: be out there with the other guy.

604
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Before I met my boyfriend, my bff and I would

605
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: go dancing, and when guys offered to buy us a drink,

606
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: we would simply let them.

607
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: She's just describing the process of going out. That's as what. Okay,

608
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: that's crazy. Okay.

609
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: When my boyfriend and I first met, I was very

610
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: clear and wasn't ready for anything until six months after

611
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: knowing each other. He then threw this in my face.

612
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: Here he threw the six months in your face. He

613
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: through the six months where you said let's take it slow.

614
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: What and now he's like, like that was pretty very

615
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of a red flag for me.

616
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: Also, she literally like she is he just saying that

617
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: her getting drinks from other guys is promiscuous.

618
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: Was he still drink the next ye talked to him.

619
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: He's like, I got so many free drinks, he said,

620
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: where I live, all these bars have dance spots in them.

621
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: I told him I haven't been to any clubs here

622
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: unless I'm with him. Then he started yelling that when

623
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: he was pursuing me, I would go out and round,

624
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: and my BFF is the one who would always gloat

625
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: about our nights out. But I have never hooked up

626
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: with any man at the club, nor did I ever

627
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: take anyone home with me. My BFF and I were

628
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: only there to dance times. People just go there to dance.

629
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: I just want to dance with the girl.

630
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: I said this to him, but started crying because I

631
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: was so hurt that he called me this word. I

632
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: said I needed to get off the phone because this

633
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: whole time trying to be calm, talking to him about

634
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: how he was feeling, reminding him over and over that

635
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not accusing him of anything, trying to explain that

636
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: I felt uneasy, probably because of my anxiety, but I

637
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: chose not to react and to go to sleep. He

638
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: just kept saying, I'll just not go out anymore. Places

639
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: here close at ten pm, and that was the only

640
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: place open. I just won't go anymore, even though I

641
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: never said a thing when you go out? I asked him,

642
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: are you uncomfortable when I go places? He then said

643
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't give an f about me going out. I

644
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: told him sorry for the way I said, I felt uneasy.

645
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: Is there a better way I should communicate it? And

646
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: I would like to communicate to you guys that you

647
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: can join us live every WEEKDA at three pm PST.

648
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: Just step our profile. Okay, wait wait wait, wait, weird,

649
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: wait weird. He didn't answer that and just kept going

650
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: on about how I don't trust him. I also was

651
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: asking why does he think I'm attacking him? I repeated

652
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: over and over that I'm not. I'm just trying to communicate,

653
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: but he would not let up. I felt like I

654
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: was talking to a ball at this point. I'm just

655
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: so confused. Now I'm distraught. I'm really it was so

656
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: calm and trying to communicate this morning. Because I just

657
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: started getting therapy recently. How can I get him to

658
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: listen to me?

659
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: Big ups on the therapy?

660
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 1: Therapy?

661
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: We love that on the therapy.

662
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: Always good. I think you're you should I think there's

663
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: a chanzy might be protecting Yeah.

664
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: And I just got to say your intuition on the

665
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: voice was right on the money. Yea, because this guy's uh.

666
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: And also was he a pool bar? He was at

667
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 2: a pool bar, so it's not really the same thing

668
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: as a club. To be fair, the bar is not Yeah,

669
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: not cool.

670
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: I think he might have said that he had gone

671
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: to other clubs or something, but he was at the

672
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: pool bar and then started bringing up Ope's clubbing experiences

673
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: before they were together.

674
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Which sounds like is completely inaccurate.

675
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, your behavior of getting drinks from people

676
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: is bad, but that is the end of that story.

677
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: My friend said I was too fat to be her

678
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: maid of honor, so I asked for all my payments back. Good.

679
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: She doesn't deserve your money, not at all.

680
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: Your indeed your I own in your spite. My twenty

681
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: seven female best friend, Claire, twenty eight female, is getting

682
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: married in a few weeks. We've been best friends since

683
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: high school and when she asked me to be her

684
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: maid of honor, I was beyond excited. I wanted to

685
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: give her the most amazing experience possible, so I went

686
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: all out. By the way, this comes from user telephone

687
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: constant to seventy on the r slash Okay Storytime suburday,

688
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: so I helped plan everything from her bridal shower to

689
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: the bachelorette party, which was a small weekend trip for

690
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: her and the bridal party. I also paid for decorations,

691
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: party favors, and even chipped in for some unexpected costs

692
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: because I wanted to make things special for her all together.

693
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: I spent several thousand dollars money my husband and I

694
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: had budgeted for because I thought this was something worth

695
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: investing in. Claire has been like a sister to me,

696
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: and I thought being her maid of honor was an honor.

697
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: I didn't mind the expense, even though it was a

698
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: bit tight for us financially. I just wanted her to

699
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: have the perfect wedding experience. Yeah, so that's exactly how

700
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: you should be. It's their wedding. Make it great. Here's

701
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: where it all started to go wrong. Noy, Oh boy,

702
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: I'm four months pregnant and.

703
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: You're doing all that for her. WHOA, that's an angel move,

704
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: that's an angel friend right there.

705
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

706
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

707
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: My husband and I found out a couple months ago,

708
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: and when I told Claire, she congratulated me, but didn't

709
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: seem overly excited. Brushed it off because I figured she

710
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: was just busy with wedding planning. But since then she

711
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: started acting distant. She'd exclude me from conversations about the

712
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: wedding and would make passive comments about how hard it

713
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: is to coordinate everything when people are distracted by personal things.

714
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: I started to feel like I was walking on eggshells,

715
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to

716
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: add to her stress. Then a few days ago, Claire

717
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: sat me down and dropped a bombshell. She told me

718
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: she didn't think I should be in the wedding anymore

719
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: because I'm quote getting too fat and she doesn't want

720
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: me in the pictures.

721
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: Okay, the fact that he's literally pregnant. Ope, he's literally pregnant.

722
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: Your pregnant best friend is organizing your entire wedding, and

723
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, you're twousands of dollars.

724
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Regardless of what her weight is anyway, even

725
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: if she wasn't pregnant, you shouldn't be commenting on it.

726
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: But the fact that you're telling her that she's gaining

727
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: too much weight when she's literally growing a human inside

728
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: of her exactly is insane you're insane.

729
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: We're flinging you off of the planet. You're to sign

730
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: you into the giant sun Trebuche. Right now you're in

731
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: the sun. Yeah, could get thankful, because it could be worse.

732
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: You better be happy about that.

733
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: So she said that she was replacing me as made

734
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: of honor with another friend, and I was completely stunned.

735
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: I asked if this was because I'm pregnant, and she

736
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: said that it wasn't personal, but that she has a

737
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: specific vision for her wedding and I no longer fit

738
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: into it. She tried to frame it like it was

739
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 2: about aesthetic consistency, but how can that not feel personal?

740
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's your aesthetic, you're pregnant. Aesthetic is

741
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: the one we can't have.

742
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we have kind of like a no pregnant

743
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: people loud at my wedding.

744
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

745
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: You're allowed to have an esthetic at your wedding, but

746
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to how your friend's like your one,

747
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 1: your friend's bodies, but also just like hair type in general,

748
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: like you can't you can't tell people to change how

749
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: they look.

750
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous for your wedding.

751
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: You can say, you can you have to wear this

752
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: dress or like this color dress, but that's about it.

753
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: Did this person also forget photoshop exists. If this was

754
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: really that big of a deal.

755
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: Okay, No, that would be crazy. If she photoshopped the

756
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: baby belly, eh.

757
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: I get that would be that would be less insane

758
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: than excluding your maid of honor after she spent thousands

759
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: of dollars to plan your entire experience.

760
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: No, I think that would be insane if she was like, like, imagine.

761
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 2: It would be insane. This person is insane for doing it.

762
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: I trying to think of itto like a relevant thing

763
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: for you, Like, imagine you lost an arm.

764
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: Right, I was literally I was thinking that exactly if.

765
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: You lost an arm and you were like, hey, I'm

766
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: going to like I've been putting all this effort into

767
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: being the best groom you know, uh groomsman for my

768
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: my best friend. And your best friend comes up to

769
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: you and he's like, hey, I don't know if you

770
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: could be in the wedding because we have kind of

771
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: like an aesthetic thing. You kind of have a two

772
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: arms aesthetic going on. Oh no, and then like you

773
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: know what, like no, be in the wedding.

774
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

775
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: Months later and you get the pictures back the photo

776
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: shopped arm. That would be crazy.

777
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: It's all bad. Claire does not deserve Oh p what

778
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: so take take care? Yeah, you deserve it, so op says.

779
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: I told her. I was incredibly hurt and disappointed, but

780
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: if she didn't want me in the wedding, I wouldn't

781
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: attend at all. I also handed her all the receipts

782
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: for the events and expenses i'd covered, totaling several thousand dollars,

783
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: and told her that since I was no longer made

784
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: of honor, I expected her and her fiance to reimburse me.

785
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: I explained that I'd only spent that money because of

786
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: the role I was playing in the wedding, and if

787
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't part of it anymore, it wasn't fair for

788
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: me to shoulder those costs. Claire flipped out, Oh did

789
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: typical Claire?

790
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: I knew you, what Claire? Because you?

791
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, she does?

792
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: Devils spawned Claire.

793
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: Stinky, stinky Claire.

794
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: She accused me of being petty and selfish and said

795
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: I was trying to ruin her big day. WHOA The

796
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: amount of lack of self awareness in that sentence is

797
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: making me a malfunction. She told me that it was

798
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: quote unquote tacky to ask for my money back, and

799
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 3: that those expenses were my responsibility as the maid of honor.

800
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 2: I reminded her, then, I'm not the maid of honor anymore.

801
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: She made that decision woo, and therefore those costs are

802
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 2: no longer mine to cover.

803
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: Naiceh Uh, take her down, slam dunker like you like

804
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: you're in the basketball league.

805
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: In the basketball league, that will remain nameless because we

806
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: don't do free sponsors.

807
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I did it, because I didn't remember

808
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: the name.

809
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: If if league Commissioner Adam Silver wants to hit us up,

810
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: we can, we can, we can talk. So since then, Claire,

811
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 2: her fiance, and even some of her family members have

812
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: been blowing up my phone with calls and texts. They're

813
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: calling me a bad friend, saying I'm being vindictive and

814
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: accusing me of trying to sabotage the wedding.

815
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: There's no way they know the full story. Yeah, Claire

816
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: went to the family and was like, she just randomly

817
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: took out all the money from the wedding. I don't understand.

818
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: She says, she's not going to be made of honor anymore.

819
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: She's Yeah, no, that's Claire Claire, Claire just doll Claire.

820
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: One of her family members even said, it's just pregnancy

821
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 2: hormones making me act this way and I should calm

822
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: down and let it go. My husband has been incredibly supportive,

823
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: as he should, and says I did the right thing.

824
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: He pointed out that I've gone above and beyond for

825
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: Claire and that the way she treated me, especially knowing

826
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm pregnant, is cruel and unacceptable. He agrees that I

827
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: shouldn't be out thousands of dollars for a wedding I'm

828
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: not even attending. Still, the constant messages and accusations have

829
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: made me second guess myself. I feel humiliated and hurt

830
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: my someone I thought was my best friend. But I

831
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: also feel like I'm standing up for myself by asking

832
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: for reimbursement and refusing to let her treat me this way.

833
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: So reddit am I the a hole? Should I have

834
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: just let it go and written off the money? Or

835
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: am I justified in asking for repayment and skipping the

836
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: wedding Entirely?

837
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: You're not the a hole?

838
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. In fact, I would actually say that you

839
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: should go if they don't pay you back. Yeah, it's like,

840
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: if there's any legal recourse you could make that they

841
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: stole this money from you, because it was probably it

842
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: was given under the context the text that you were

843
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: made of honor, and then they were just like, by

844
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: the way, you're not allowed to be pregnant, so and

845
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: then you're like, all right, well, if you don't want

846
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 2: a pregnant person there, I'm just not gonna go. Yeah,

847
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: I don't know, you've done nothing wrong.

848
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like going through the court stuff would be

849
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: pretty tricky, especially because a thousand dollars is not like

850
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: maybe you could do small.

851
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: Courts like plural thousands of thousands. You're right, that's the

852
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: other part of why Clare this is absurd to be like, yeah,

853
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: I know, you literally just spent racks on racks on

854
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: my actual wedding that's not yours, by the way, but

855
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: you're you're pregnant, so that's true.

856
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: If it's like multiple thousands of dollars, maybe you could

857
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: try and do small claims or something.

858
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but hopefully it won't get to that

859
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: point and somebody in Claire's life will recognize when the

860
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: truth because clearly everyone's been told a lie. When it

861
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: comes to life. They'll be like, hey, Claire, you're being

862
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: a monster. Why don't you go to give her money?

863
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: To give you You told me that she was gaining weight.

864
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's absurd gaining a baby, Claire. Claire really

865
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 2: said there are no fatty boom batties allowed at my wedding.

866
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm pregnant. I am fully pregnant, full pregnant.

867
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: Come on, and also again like literally, even if she

868
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: was gaining weight, that's your best friend, Dix. You just

869
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: spent thousands of dollars. Yes, like, get out of here.

870
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: Update. Hello everyone, This will be my only update hopefully.

871
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for the support and advice. It

872
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: truly helped me through this difficult time. After I stood

873
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: firm on being reimbursed for the expenses, I covered is

874
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: made of honor and made it clear I was prepared

875
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 2: to take the matter to small claims court, things escalated.

876
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: Oh Claire and her family kept messaging me, trying to

877
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: guilt me, but I didn't budge. I decided to send

878
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: the Reddit post to Claire's family to give them the

879
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: full context, and it seemed to get through to them.

880
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 2: Shortly after, Claire's father reached out. He was polite, apologetic,

881
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: and agreed to pay me back in full. We found

882
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 2: the voice, So is it.

883
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if, like, how did oh Pi say that?

884
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: She said, I reached out to the father.

885
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 2: She sent the whole Reddit post to the family. Oh okay.

886
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, maybe this will give you a little

887
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: and he was a context Claire not looking too bid.

888
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go that directly. It was like, hey,

889
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: the money, I will give it to you. So true

890
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: to his word, he reimbursed me for everything. While I

891
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: appreciated his willingness to resolve the issue, it didn't change

892
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: how I felt about Claire or how deeply hurt I

893
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: was by her actions.

894
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: Well, I mean she didn't she didn't refund the money

895
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: her dad.

896
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: No, not at all, And I think, yeah, we kind

897
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: of skirted over that. It's got to be brutal to

898
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: find out someone you know, someone you considered your best friend,

899
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: is now trying to pull this on you.

900
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's like you were about to be your

901
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: maid of honor and that's you know, that's what she's pulling.

902
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. After receiving payment, I blocked Claire, her fiance, and

903
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: her entire family. It's incredibly sad to lose a friendship

904
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 2: I believed would last forever, but I now see that

905
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 2: someone who could treat me that way was never truly

906
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 2: my friend. It's painful, but I'm focusing on those who

907
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: genuinely care about me, my amazing husband who has been

908
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: my rock, and our growing family. And by the way,

909
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 2: you can join our growing family every weekday at three

910
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: pm PST when we go live on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok,

911
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: and Twitch. All you have to do is tap out

912
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 2: our profile on any one of those beautiful platforms.

913
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: And you're in and make our family bigger.

914
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: So before we finish up the story, I think it

915
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: was pretty poignant when she brought up it's like she blocked,

916
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: she blocked her, she blocked the whole family. She's kind

917
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 2: of doing a clean cut and moving on with her life,

918
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, after somebody really does show the

919
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: true traders to you like this, like there is little

920
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: to no explanation outside of like, no, I fully like,

921
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: I don't even know I was on an aunty Violet.

922
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: I blacked out for for an entire month, and I

923
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: just came back into my body. I don't know what

924
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 2: I was possessed by. A spirit of some kind who

925
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: didn't like pregnant women. I guess you.

926
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: Excuses for this behavior.

927
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: It's pretty much the only one I can think of

928
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: right now, possessed by anti pregnancy ghost. But let's be real,

929
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: that's not happening. So sometimes, even though it's the bitter

930
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: pill to swallow, you are going to be better off

931
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: over time because you don't want someone like this.

932
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: Your life is going to be commenting on your body.

933
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: They're not in your corner. They're supposed to be your

934
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: best friend, and they clearly don't even appreciate how good

935
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: of a best friend you were.

936
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: Exactly at all, no appreciation. You don't need that person

937
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: in your life, and you're gonna have.

938
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 2: You gonna have.

939
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: You have your husband, you got your baby on the way,

940
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: and that's only And now you got your money back,

941
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: So win's a win.

942
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: To everyone who commented and supported me, thank you again.

943
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: Your encouragement gave me this strength to stand up for

944
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 2: myself and do what was right. I realized I got

945
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: out easy from this hellish situation, and I will now

946
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 2: leave it all behind me as I'm ready to move

947
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 2: forward and focus on my pregnancy, my husband, and our baby.

948
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: Yes, which is what I said.

949
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 2: Indeed, here's to new beginnings, better friendships, and prioritizing the

950
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: people who truly deserve your love. Thank you and I

951
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: wish you all the best and we do too. Op

952
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 2: because that is the end of that story.

953
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: A friend's bridesmaid can't stop commenting about my body. We

954
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: left dinner early.

955
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: I'm out of here this sorry.

956
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: Opinions to yourself. If you have nothing this nice to say,

957
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: don't say anything. Names are fake. It all started when

958
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: my boyfriend's childhood friend asked my boyfriend to be a groomsman.

959
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: This friend also invited my boyfriend to his joint bachelor

960
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: slash bachelorette party. The couple was even kind enough to

961
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: invite me too, even though I wasn't in the bridal party.

962
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: It was going to be a week long beach trip

963
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. By the way, this comes

964
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: from Few Signature nineteen thirty nine on the Okay Storytime

965
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: suppured it. So now I'm not shy by any means,

966
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: but it can be hard to meet a new group

967
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: of people for the first time on a vacation where

968
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: they all know each other. So about a month before

969
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: the trip. I made my own bikini that was white

970
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: with lace and pink bows. I was so excited to

971
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: wear it and knew it would give me the confidence

972
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: I needed to be scantily clad around girls I didn't know.

973
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: On day one, my boyfriend and I get in late

974
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: and go right to bed. The group left early the

975
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: next morning for the beach, and we were about thirty

976
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: minutes behind them. I am a makeup girl, he always happened,

977
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: so I get made up within reason to go to

978
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: the beach. I popped on my new homemade bikini and.

979
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: Was looking good.

980
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: Baby woo, skin was glowing, a body was bodying so on.

981
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: When we arrived, I saw that there were only three girls,

982
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: the bride and her two friends. By the way, I

983
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: only met the bride a couple of times and knew

984
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: her to be a shy but very sweet girl. I

985
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: say hi, then set my stuff down to take off

986
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: my cover up. When I remove my top, I hear wow,

987
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: look at her from across the circle. Then I hear

988
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: a different voice say so petite, I'm five foot six

989
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: with a ginormous booty. No, I don't work out, I

990
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: just eat a lot of French fries.

991
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: Wow. That's the dream workout routine. I just eat fries

992
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: and have a large bottom, So.

993
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: I assume the girls are talking about someone else nearby.

994
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: I then hear the first voice say I wish I

995
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: had our body, to which the second voice responds, I don't.

996
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm glad God blessed me with these big old bazangas.

997
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: Who are these people?

998
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: You're sam? His favorite word just got said, he is

999
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 2: he gonna sprint in here now, freaking crazy. I mean

1000
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: people talk like that though, it's.

1001
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: Like no, but to talk about that in front of

1002
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: someone you don't know.

1003
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: Was it? I mean, like truly, like I mean like

1004
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: you're there to be like direct face to face, like

1005
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: that's one thing, but maybe these people just don't have

1006
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: the like wherewithal to know like that that person is

1007
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: within earshot. Not saying that toxic talk is like a

1008
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: good thing, but it is like a fact, like people

1009
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: people mouth off because and most of the time it's

1010
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: because it's they're insecure, like and they're just trying to

1011
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 2: take the attention away from them because they don't want

1012
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: anyone to pry into their stuff. Yeah.

1013
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: No, it's just like really uncomfortable. I think to one

1014
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: to hear, oh I wish I had her body. That's

1015
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: already kind of an uncomfortable thing to hear when like

1016
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: someone's commentated about it.

1017
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: I think that's a compliment.

1018
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit uncomfortable. I mean, I

1019
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: think it can be because it's like I think.

1020
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 2: The way that op phrased that where it was like

1021
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: what body was bodying? Like I thought, I feel like

1022
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: she'd be like thank you.

1023
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: I well, okay, I think that a better Personally. I

1024
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: think a better compliment is like, oh my god, like

1025
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: you look great, like your bathing suit, like really like

1026
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: something along the lines of you look great, you look

1027
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: really fit, you're looking healthy, blah blah blah blah. But

1028
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: to say I wish I had that person's body, especially

1029
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: in front of them, it's kind of icky to me.

1030
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like it's the the underneath, the underlying thing

1031
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: is I'm insecure but or like I don't like a

1032
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: part of myself, and it's like it's putting that on

1033
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: the other person.

1034
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's true.

1035
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: And that's just one comment. And then the other comment

1036
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: is even worse because it's saying I don't want your body.

1037
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah, I know what you're thinking. There's

1038
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: no way someone said that, I r l. But they did.

1039
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: Oh they did say big Old bozongas.

1040
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: Big old Bozonga. That's a quote.

1041
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: Of course. I giggle to myself because I have the

1042
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: humor of a fourteen year old boy.

1043
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: Hey, join the clobe, let's go.

1044
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: I go to sit down and immediately bond with all

1045
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: three girls over a teeny show. But not even five

1046
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: minutes into the conversation, the Big Bozonga bride's maid, Kaylee,

1047
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: interrupts us and asks what cup size?

1048
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: I am? All right, now it's getting weird.

1049
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: It was already weird, this is even weirder.

1050
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1051
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: I choke at a laugh and say, I'm a thirty

1052
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: four B Everyone's looking at me. I'm literally sitting in

1053
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: the center of eight dudes. I don't know, turning beat

1054
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: red because I have just met all of these people

1055
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: mere moments ago. Kaylee, who's twenty nine by the way, says, huh,

1056
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't even think I can conceptualize what a B

1057
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: cup really looks like. Are you are you literally are

1058
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: looking at them?

1059
00:46:59,160 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1060
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: Are you okay? Are you?

1061
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: Are you blind?

1062
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 2: Are you blind? Hi? I'm right in front of you.

1063
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: What's going on? What's going on here?

1064
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, what the heck does that mean? But

1065
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: I say, well, you don't have to here they are

1066
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: and gesture to what I'm working with. Then her sister

1067
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: chimes in says, oh, but it must be so nice,

1068
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: no back pain. I can tell she's trying to make

1069
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: the conversation less weird, so I say, yeah, that's true,

1070
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't mind filling out a dress every once

1071
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: in a while. The group laughs. I managed to make friendly,

1072
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: polite small talk with them throughout the day, until Kaylee

1073
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: turns to me again and asks what I do for

1074
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: a living. I tell her I'm a writer. I work

1075
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: as a ghostwriter of sorts on nonfiction speeches, articles, stories professionally.

1076
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: She says, okay, but do you read? Though? How else

1077
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: does one become a writer? I wonder, but I kept

1078
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: it cool and say, of course, I love to read you.

1079
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: She says that she's read seventy books already that year.

1080
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I mostly read very stuffy literature, so it

1081
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: takes me a while to get through a book.

1082
00:47:53,239 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: Probably she's reading Green Eggs and Ham read Redfish, Bluefish, Caterpillar.

1083
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: I actually only read books written by doctors. Yea one

1084
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: doctor doctor seuss Uh, Yes.

1085
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: I don't worry. It's kind of where I draw the line.

1086
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: I'd probably read about ten books so far that year

1087
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: and told her as much. Boy did she love that.

1088
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: This is where it gets juicy.

1089
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: Why is this girl so threatened by.

1090
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 2: Opee because she probably thinks she looks really good.

1091
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's like I need to take her down, which

1092
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: is so embarrassing, Like so embarrassing for you.

1093
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 2: I feel like my equivalent of this is like if

1094
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: like there's a guy who like makes like a really

1095
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: good joke, but it's like I feel like I made

1096
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: the joke first, and then they get the laugh, and

1097
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 2: then I'm like, all right, buddy, let's see how funny

1098
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 2: you really are.

1099
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: Let see what she can take.

1100
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 2: But I haven't done that in years. In fact, I'm

1101
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: usually the other guy and then someone else gets mad

1102
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't care, it's okay, buddy.

1103
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: Like though, if I ever repeat a joke, I'm like,

1104
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: I didn't come with that. That was them, That was

1105
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: that true, Gotta give credit true. The whole trip, one

1106
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: of the grooms in was flirting with me relentlessly while

1107
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: her boyfriend's there.

1108
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: That's crazy vibes. Yes, go.

1109
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: My boyfriend was getting jealous, and he's not the jealous type.

1110
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: This groomsman was always trying to get me alone, ordering

1111
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: for me at restaurants, acting like he was my partner.

1112
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. I mean, that's not even like getting jealous.

1113
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: It's just like, dude, that's like stop, Yeah, it's just holt. Meanwhile,

1114
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: Kaylee was flirting with my boyfriend. I would not want

1115
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: to be like, why are your friend's friends with these people?

1116
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1117
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of a red flag. Honestly, yes, my boyfriend's handsome,

1118
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: but he hates attention and refused to engage in her

1119
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: flirty behavior. It was annoying, but I was not intimidated

1120
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: by Kaylee in the slightest, so I let it go.

1121
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: On the last day, we decided to go to dinner.

1122
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: Once we were already ready, we split up and took

1123
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: different cars. I'm a very tight b person and couldn't

1124
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: decide if I needed a bra or no bra for

1125
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: my dress, so I brought one with me in case.

1126
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: I was not trying to have any wardrobe malfunctions in

1127
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: front of my man's friends. On the right over to

1128
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: the restaurant. I'm sitting in the car talking to someone

1129
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: in the back seat when I noticed my right is

1130
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 1: hanging out of my dress. I g and apologize. I'm sorry,

1131
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: but the person in the back says he didn't notice.

1132
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: My boyfriend, however, is grinning ear to ear having gotten

1133
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: a sneak pee.

1134
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: Why didn't he say anything, Well, he was just like

1135
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 2: enjoying the moment, really in the moment.

1136
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: Luckily, I had a bra in my bag because I'm

1137
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: a genius. I discreetly slipped the bra on underneath my

1138
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: dress and we all go out to meet the others

1139
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: at the bar. The girls are all talking with the

1140
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: fun time they had at the beach. Then Kaylee says Claire,

1141
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: I have to know what makeup do you use? You

1142
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: swim and it doesn't even come off. I told her

1143
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: the brand Lriel infallible prom Oh, I can't say it.

1144
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: I told her the brand unnamed. If you're wondering, she says,

1145
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: but like you seem to wear so much foundation, I'm

1146
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: just surprised it looks so good after getting wet.

1147
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, girl, I'm not even in tuned into makeup,

1148
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: but come up, shut up. I know what you're trying

1149
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: to say.

1150
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: Shut up, hatter again. She's saying this in front of

1151
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: like fifteen people who are all listening because she's loud.

1152
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: Af I want to ask her if she's ever heard

1153
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 1: of settings pray, but I just shrug instead. She wants

1154
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: shut up and says, I never wear a makeup. I

1155
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: just don't feel like I need it. Hm. I can

1156
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: see a foundation line on her job lies.

1157
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: M yeah, but I bet you. OP didn't say, Oh

1158
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 2: really is that a foundation yeah on your She just said, okay, cool.

1159
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: Oh wait, there's even more uh, glittery gold eyeshadow, mascara,

1160
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: even lip color. But what do I know? She must

1161
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 1: have those naturally. Once the table's ready, she starts talking

1162
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: again about her bazangas. Wow this time, I was going

1163
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: to go bra less in this dress, but the girls

1164
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: needed support. I told her it's probably for the best

1165
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: because I'd had a nip slip in the car, which,

1166
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: for the record, was my first and only ever nipslip.

1167
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: I told her it was crazy. I looked down. I

1168
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: noticed my flown out. Okay, maybe flown was a strong word,

1169
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: but I was grasping out straws to relate to this chick.

1170
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: I honestly probably would not have told this story to

1171
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: this girl.

1172
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: I like the use of flowing out. That is funny.

1173
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 2: Flown like it had wings.

1174
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes they just they just cape.

1175
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: Who get back? How'd you get here? Like? You're like

1176
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: really didn't like it's on a kite string? Kayleie, I'm sorry,

1177
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 2: It's just that was too much. That was too much.

1178
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: You really into the visualizations of these things today.

1179
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1180
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: Kaylee turned to me and said, in the loudest voice possible,

1181
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,959
Speaker 1: you are fluts.

1182
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe. Uh huh.

1183
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: The table went silent.

1184
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 2: M M.

1185
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: My boyfriend froze. We all just looked at her. No

1186
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: in said a word, but you know what word I

Speaker 2: I want the next boyfriend to be like the next moment,

1196
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: the next moment to be the boyfriend standing up and

00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 2: just being like, I like them a lot.

1198
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: I like, don't my girlfriend's bazongas.

1199
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: Don't talk about those bizongas like that in front of me.

1200
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: Am I doing it right, Babe.

1201
00:52:58,719 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: Keep my girlfriend.

1202
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 2: This bizong goes out of your mouth. Please, that's that's

1203
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 2: my thing.

1204
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: That's my thing. Okay, they're my mouth.

1205
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I mean I think the good news

1206
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: is is that even though this is clearly like you're going,

1207
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 2: she already knows how to go about this. Because a

1208
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: person who tries to like just get at you like

1209
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: that and just always tries your little you just you

1210
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: completely go they go low, you go high.

1211
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: You say, oh yeah, I know it's crazy, but you

1212
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: know it happened.

1213
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 2: And they just keep digging that hole. Everyone just starts going,

1214
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 2: why is she so annoying? And every little thing she

1215
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 2: says is she's just nag, nag, nag.

1216
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, no, people who are horrible, like when

1217
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: you continue to go high and they keep going low,

1218
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: people notice, yeah, and you don't have to do anything.

1219
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: They're digging their own graves exactly. But there's a little

1220
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: bit left in the string.

1221
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

1222
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: After very painful twenty to thirty seconds. I laughed to

1223
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: try to play it off, and slowly conversations resumed. Wow,

1224
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: my boyfriend was horrified and we decided to leave the

1225
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: dinner early, but not before Kaylee called the bride out

1226
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: for wearing non nude underwear under a light colored dress,

1227
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: something none of us would have ever noticed. Why is

1228
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: she now calling out the bride.

1229
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 2: Because now she's like, my plan's failing. Oh my god,

1230
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: I know it'll make everyone like me. The bride's doing

1231
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 2: things wrong.

1232
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: The bride looked really embarrassed. It was sad. Oh come on.

1233
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: Fast forward to the next time I saw the group

1234
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: at the wedding. Kaylee took my phone from my purse

1235
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: and shared my location with her, then followed herself on

1236
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: Instagram from my profile?

1237
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 2: Is that did she just commit a crime?

1238
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: That seems like a crime.

1239
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 2: I think technically you giving yourself someone else's location without

1240
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 2: their permission is like, that's crazy. Have crime?

1241
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: That's crazy?

1242
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, lock her up now.

1243
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Has anyone met a pick me girl that

1244
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: is one of the Bazunga obsessed variety?

1245
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: Is this mental illness?

1246
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: Let me know, I will never go to a joint

1247
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: bachelor slash bachelorette party again.

1248
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 2: Wow, dang.

1249
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah these people.

1250
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 2: Said, yeah, you don't hey, and exactly you don't even Oh,

1251
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 2: that was a bad idea from the very beginning, a

1252
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 2: joint bachelor bachelorette party.

1253
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: Well, I think it could be fun if you have

1254
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: cool friends.

1255
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 2: Sure, but it's like sometimes there's boys night and sometimes

1256
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: there's girls night. Right, you don't usually take the boys

1257
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: to girls night. You don't usually take the girls to

1258
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 2: boys night, I think.

1259
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: But I do think it depends on the dynamic your

1260
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: friendship because I I mean, like I hang out with

1261
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: a lot of men.

1262
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm not saying there's anything yeah, yeah, but sometime.

1263
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 1: It depends on your dynamic because sometimes you have separate

1264
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: friend groups, and I feel like that's more than live

1265
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: It's less like boys girls. It's like these are my

1266
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: friends and these are her friends, and we're going to

1267
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: have a night where we celebrate with our friends, you know. Yeah,

1268
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: rather than like combine every.

1269
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: I guess a bachelorette party is. I'm more thinking in

1270
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: the context of like, yeah, it's like everyone's got like

1271
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 2: a girlfriend, yeah, and it's like you know, you know,

1272
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 2: we're just like all vibe not doing boys stuff like

1273
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 2: digging holes and finding digging holes on the beach, which

1274
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 2: is also completely open to any other gender on Earth.

1275
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 2: Under the entire spectrum, everyone can enjoy zagging holes and

1276
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 2: finding bugs.

1277
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: I freaking love dig holes and finding bugs.

1278
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: I like finding bugs until they find me. Yeah, and

1279
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: then I'm like, no, no, no, I find you. You

1280
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 2: don't find me. I find you. I ended a friendship

1281
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 2: of nine years. We just keep having disagreements.

1282
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 1: That's the time. If you keep disagreeing with your friend,

1283
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: then you gotta get rid of them.

1284
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: Heads up long post for context. I twenty six met

1285
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: my best friend Felicia twenty seven in high school. Felicia

1286
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 2: has always been the hot headed friend, ready to argue,

1287
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 2: while I've always been more laid back and chill. I've

1288
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 2: been diagnosed with anxiety, so I typically stay out of

1289
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 2: stressful situations. But in a way, we did balance each

1290
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 2: other out. By the way, this comes from user feisty

1291
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 2: con cont on the r slash Okay storytime Cebreddy. So

1292
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 2: we kind of grew distant when she went to university

1293
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 2: in China while I went to culinary school. Our schedules

1294
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 2: never really lined up, but we always would have found

1295
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 2: time for each other. She made new friends there, and

1296
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 2: I also made a new friend who she didn't like completely,

1297
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 2: but I'd always try for everyone to do something together.

1298
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: Around the same time last year, I was going through

1299
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: a lot of at work after maternity leave. I was

1300
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 2: being excluded and talked about and disrespected, which led me

1301
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 2: to go to HR about it, seeing as most of

1302
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 2: it came from my boss, eh Fols, good boss. Felicia

1303
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: was talking to me about my son and who watches him,

1304
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 2: and I know for a fact she had asked me

1305
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: that five hundred times before, plus other people. So I

1306
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 2: stated randomly that I was kind of tired of people

1307
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: asking me about that. Wasn't with an attitude, It wasn't rude.

1308
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,479
Speaker 2: It was just saying something on my mind. But also

1309
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: knowing the person she is, I also said to her

1310
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 2: that it wasn't said with attitude. I was just dating

1311
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: something she knows. Felicia's you go wait, wait, Felicia, no,

1312
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 2: I swear no attitude. Please, she says this, She's like

1313
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 2: what she's like getting bigger, like Gandal from the first

1314
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 2: like Lord of the Rings.

1315
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: WOI okay.

1316
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 2: So of course she took that horribly wrong and went

1317
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: off on me anyway, which in turn got me upset,

1318
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 2: so I went off on her. She was saying how

1319
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 2: she doesn't understand why I've gotten so feisty, strong headed,

1320
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 2: and I need to talk to her better than that.

1321
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 2: I started yelling, trying to explain to her that I

1322
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 2: said what I said without any aggrash id and still

1323
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 2: went out of my way to tell you this before

1324
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: you even responded to the initial statement. So why are

1325
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: you still behaving like this?

1326
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of ridiculous when someone, I mean, even

1327
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: I think even if someone snaps or something like says

1328
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: something kind of like maybe rude because they're tired or something,

1329
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: and then immediately or like they're like, I'm sorry that

1330
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to say it like that, like just tired,

1331
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, came out wrong, and you still are like

1332
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: out there.

1333
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 2: You're like come on, come on, and I'm trying to

1334
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 2: skip the tutorial here.

1335
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: It's a great comparison.

1336
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, we went back and forth, on and on

1337
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 2: until I lashed out and said what was on my mind,

1338
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 2: including some depressing stuff due to my anxiety adding up again.

1339
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 2: She left without saying anything. I calmed myself down and

1340
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 2: went on with my life. She wished me happy birthday,

1341
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 2: told her condolences on her loss her grandfather had passed,

1342
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: and then I wished her happy birthday, which she didn't

1343
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 2: reply to. After a while, she concocted an idea in

1344
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: her head that I had blocked her, So then she

1345
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: proceeded to block me on everything, but not before sending

1346
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 2: a voice note saying, which before I get into that

1347
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 2: when a Romeo and Juliet type friendship they've got right

1348
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 2: there that, Well, you blocked me. I guess I'll block you,

1349
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 2: but I haven't blocked you anyway. That's a tragedy. And yeah,

1350
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 2: we got a Greek tragedy right here? Was that Greek? No,

1351
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: Shakespeare wasn't Yeah what am I talking about? Anyways? The

1352
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 2: voice note said, I'm a horrible friend. Didn't you realize

1353
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: this when I was paying for you at every opportunity

1354
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 2: I got. I had more expendable income, so I was

1355
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 2: never one to not offer assistance or just spend on

1356
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 2: you for the fun of it. Oh, so that was

1357
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 2: that was Opie's comment on it. Didn't you realize that

1358
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm a terrible friend? Oh you didn't realize that sooner? Yeah?

1359
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 2: Are you sure you don't have any attitude.

1360
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: You might have a little bit, but also they might

1361
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: both have a bit.

1362
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe.

1363
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 1: Hey, sometimes two people with a lot of attitudes don't

1364
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: work out.

1365
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah they can. They collide like Godzilla and King Kong.

1366
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah they're like and then they get united and fight

1367
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 2: against Mecha Godzilla.

1368
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1369
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: Yes, and then yes, it's the boss.

1370
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: That's the problem.

1371
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the boss. I see you. They're gonna

1372
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 2: do Godzilla in King Kong versus Mecha Godzilla, and Mecha

1373
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Godzilla is the boss. Anyway, that was a very twelve

1374
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 2: year old brain moment. Moving on. The friendship wasn't working anyway.

1375
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh this is why I have no friends. I do.

1376
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 2: I just don't keep everyone close due to their values

1377
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 2: not matching mine. I need mental help. True, but don't

1378
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 2: use it as something to attack me with facts. You

1379
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 2: also do and say the same thing sometimes, so it

1380
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: would be hypocritical. I like toxic relationships. Hope he had

1381
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 2: nothing to say about that. I'm immature and I don't

1382
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: know how to be a friend, amongst other things. I'm

1383
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: not gonna say that I'm the perfect friend because I'm not.

1384
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: I get annoyed easily I don't like people to tell

1385
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 2: me that crap that doesn't make sense, and I'm not

1386
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 2: the best at so social cues, and i do need

1387
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 2: mental help. That is a fact, and it is something

1388
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: I've been working on. It's never something I've used to

1389
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 2: fuel an argument. But my thing about it is why

1390
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 2: not say these things before? I should have left things

1391
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: as it was, but I ended up reaching out through

1392
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 2: her boyfriend and then she unblocked me. We talked it

1393
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 2: out and we were okay. Occasionally calls me feisty, and

1394
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 2: even though I don't appreciate it, I usually take it

1395
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 2: as a cue to shut up. Until recently it's petty,

1396
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: but it annoys me because it was so unwarranted. I

1397
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 2: was wondering if there was something wrong with me. Felicia

1398
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 2: and I made plans for her to come to my

1399
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 2: apartment about a month ago. Nowhere in these plans was

1400
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 2: it stated that she wanted to spend the night, so

1401
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 2: I wasn't even considering that my boyfriend and my baby

1402
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 2: were sleeping in the room. And as soon as I

1403
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 2: told her that, her mood switched and she told me

1404
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 2: she was leaving, I calmed her down and told her

1405
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 2: he's not staying he was just passing by after work

1406
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 2: because he said he wanted to cook for me. Am,

1407
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 2: I supposed to tell him no, absolutely, not no, you

1408
01:01:58,280 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 2: say yes to that. Yeah, he said he's got a

1409
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 2: cook for you.

1410
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: You say, you always say, you say if anyone says

1411
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: you gonna cook for you. He said, thank you.

1412
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 2: She had an attitude for a good chunk of the

1413
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 2: evening while on her phone until we eventually sparked a

1414
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 2: conversation that even included my boyfriend while he cooked. After that,

1415
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 2: we all ate and he left. Things went on as normal.

1416
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 2: Next day was when she bugged the heck out of me.

1417
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: We live in a place where there's different ways to

1418
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 2: say things and different slangs and broken English. I tend

1419
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 2: to use words everyone understands. My son's hair is braided,

1420
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: So I said, I have to unplait his hair so

1421
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 2: I could wash it. Loose out, yeah, unplate loose out, yeah, unplait.

1422
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Thinking she can't hear me loose out. We say loose out,

1423
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 2: So what's wrong with me saying unplate? It means the

1424
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 2: same thing. She then calls me feisty.

1425
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: What is going on here?

1426
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: Felicia's being like, no, you say it? This way, and

1427
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 2: she's like, nah, yeah, exactly, it's the same thing. Yeah,

1428
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 2: but say it this way though.

1429
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: That's like such a ridiculous thing to get mad at

1430
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: someone about. Yeah, like the wording of something.

1431
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 2: Felicia's the one with an attitude here one hundred percentype.

1432
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 2: So at this point I'm flabbergasted. I love that word,

1433
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 2: because why are we picking a fight over my choice

1434
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 2: of words? She screamed this so loud, I'm pretty sure

1435
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 2: my neighborhood heard her. I looked at her and then

1436
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 2: ignored her for the rest of the day, because why

1437
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 2: I would have kicked her out.

1438
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I yeah, would have been like, Okay, you need to

1439
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: go home, because you're making a big deal over literally nothing.

1440
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 2: You're yelling at me over mere yelling at me over

1441
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 2: the synonyms.

1442
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: I think if you have a friend who's yelling at you, yeah,

1443
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: just in any context.

1444
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 2: Is not while my baby's asleep. Yeah, get out out,

1445
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 2: You're gone, bye bye.

1446
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: I don't think any of my friends have et her

1447
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: like yelled at me.

1448
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, not like that, not in a way where it's

1449
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 2: like I can see it, where it's like, are you

1450
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 2: gonna say it right now? Now? Will you say it

1451
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: right that? I said it louder again, like that's the

1452
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 2: energy where it's like, oh, what are you doing? Fast

1453
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 2: forward a couple days later, I confronted her about the

1454
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 2: weird episode that we had, and she said, what I

1455
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: don't appreciate And it comes off as if I can't

1456
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 2: say anything to her, as if she wants me to

1457
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 2: be afraid of her or something. And if this continues,

1458
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 2: then I'll just have to keep to myself because this

1459
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 2: ain't it. I think you can just cut her off.

1460
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think probably. It's from what we know in

1461
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 1: the story, it seems like OPI does not have many

1462
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: close friendships for one reason or another. We don't really know,

1463
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 1: but it seems like because of that op He is

1464
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: trying to save this like one close friendship that she

1465
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: has and is like giving her Felicia more chances.

1466
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. It might just be they've been friends for so

1467
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 2: long that it's securating. You're just kind of used to it,

1468
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: and now that they've become more toxic, you're.

1469
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: Like, oh, this is getting to a point where I

1470
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: can't just let it slide.

1471
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happened to me before, where it's like I

1472
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 2: had some jokes with some friends and then at some

1473
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 2: point I'm like, wait, is that still a joke because

1474
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 2: the way you said that didn't feel very funny to me.

1475
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I had a friend like that who like literally

1476
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: like one time, like swore at me in a like

1477
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: a like a group chat that we were at, and

1478
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,439
Speaker 1: I was like, doesn't like a joll Yeah, that one.

1479
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 2: Felt like you were just blowing my spot in the

1480
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: chat around in front of our friends.

1481
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Just felt rude.

1482
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 2: But you know who can blow up our spot whenever

1483
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 2: they want? Yeah, y'all blow every last one of you

1484
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: every time. We go live every weekday at three pm

1485
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 2: PST on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch. All you gotta

1486
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 2: do is tap our profile and you can blow up

1487
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: our chat as much as you want. So before we

1488
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 2: finish the story, because there's a little bit left, I mean,

1489
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 2: we kind of if we've kind of touched on it,

1490
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 2: but I think the best move is to just kind

1491
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 2: of let this friendship be in the past now.

1492
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: I think so. I think if she's yelling at you

1493
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: and it just seems like a really exhausting friendship, that

1494
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: you could be focusing that energy on like other friends. Yeah,

1495
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: and like finding a friend that you are more in

1496
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: line with, because there will be one. And I also think,

1497
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: like Ope, people was talking about like how a lot

1498
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: of her other friends she doesn't feel super morally in

1499
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: lined with, and finding a friend who you know, especially

1500
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: as an adult, finding a friend who you vibe with,

1501
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: is hard, but they are out there.

1502
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this this person and is just become a negative.

1503
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 2: If this was one time, that's one thing, but it's happened.

1504
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: Over and over.

1505
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like their behavior is not changing so

1506
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 2: and it probably won't any time soon. So just you

1507
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: can leave that in the past and let's see if

1508
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 2: that's what happens at the end of the story. Hope.

1509
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: Felicia then states that she's not into me being feisty

1510
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 2: over things like that. Oh, I think she's trying to

1511
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 2: again being feisty about the comments. Yes, after she was screaming,

1512
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 2: streaming like she's like, why are you so feisty telling

1513
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 2: me I can't scream in your house while your baby's asleep. Anyway,

1514
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: I would say things that she feels some kind of

1515
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 2: way about, and if so, why not say that when

1516
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 2: it happens. She has too much on her plate and

1517
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 2: that is why she's keeping her distance. We make plans

1518
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 2: and my man is there. She usually comes over and

1519
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 2: he's never there. This was just a one time event

1520
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 2: and he left. Whenever we spend time, she's always on

1521
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 2: her phone with her boyfriend. So I don't get it.

1522
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 2: The friendship isn't working out and she's okay with that. Wow,

1523
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 2: the problem took care of itself. I told her, thanks

1524
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 2: for letting me know, and then deleted her number.

1525
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you don't need to talk to her anymore.

1526
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: She's she's all Yeah, as you said, she took up

1527
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: the care of the problem. She doesn't want to talk

1528
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: to you, and you don't have to talk to her.

1529
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 2: Problem solved. We love when the problem solves itself.

1530
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1531
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 2: I know for a fact I'm not perfect, but please,

1532
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 2: am I the ale? No?

1533
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: No, I think I think you could look at how

1534
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: you approach friendships just in general, because especially just from

1535
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the comment of like I don't have any close friends

1536
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: because I don't align with them, just like check in

1537
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,360
