1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Alright, let's get into it is that time stop later. Well,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: my friends, thank you, my friend junior subject. There are

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: three of us in this relationship. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: been with my now fiance for three years and I

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: cannot wrap my head around. What I can't wrap my

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: head around is his closeness with his older sister. When

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: we first started dating, my fiance sister called and texted

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: him excessively. They would stay on the phone forever, and

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: she would pop up at his house whenever she wanted to.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 1: He told me that she just had to get used

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: to the fact that he was no longer single, and uh,

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, because they had always spent a lot of

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: time together. His sister used to come over to his

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: house on Saturday mornings to do her laundry, and then

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: she would stay and hang out with us for the

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: rest of the day. She often included herself on our

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: dates too. She recently bought a condo and she customized

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: the guest room for my fiance with the colors of

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: his favorite NFL team, just in case he ever wanted

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to spend the night at her place. His sister is

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: a cute girl, and she's successful but she is single,

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: and she's not making any effort. She's not making an

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: effort to meet or date anyone. I'm concerned that, uh,

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: she is still too dependent on my fiance for advice

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: and event about what's going on in her life. I'm

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: wondering how she expects her relationship to change with my

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: fiance once we are married. Um, we will build our

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: own lives and we want her to feel like she's

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: a part of that. But we must set some boundaries.

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: My fiance is very family oriented, but I'm an only child,

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: so it's different for me. He doesn't want her to

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: feel like he's pushing her away, so how should he

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: do it? Please advise. I think everything in your letter

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: that you've written to us is spot on. I understand

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: how you feel, and I will have to tell you

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: this though. It's going to be a problem in your

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: marriage if your husband doesn't check her, and he needs

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: to check her like immediately. And and why do I

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a problem in your marriage? Uh, Well,

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you because it's a problem right now and

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: your engagement. Um, sin is just way too much in

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: the business. I mean way too much. I mean her

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: popping up at the house whenever she wants to. Um,

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, coming over to the house on Saturday mornings

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,160

00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: She no, he ain't single no more. But what you

88
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: got to do with it? Now? Here go your problem?

89
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: She is, she's a single, she's an only child. She's

90
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: not from a big family. She has no idea or

91
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: any experience with being close to a sibling of any

92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: kind older, younger, twin. She ain't had that, so she

93
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: don't understand how in the world her sister can be

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: that close to her brother. Now. It ain't not not

95
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: we careful either, but just the way it is. And

96
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: and Sherley is absolutely correct about the marriage piece. If

97
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: this don't get fixed before the marriage, what the path?

98
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: The pastor told me one time, He said, the day

99
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: after marriage. The only thing that changes the day after

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: you're married is the appearance of the left hand third finger.

101
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: Nothing else changes, Nothing else changes. What what's gonna happen?

102
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: He gonna suddenly? What now it's gonna be more? It is?

103
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: What do you want her to do when we get married?

104
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: When you get married, she's still coming over there. Now

105
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: you want to set some parameters. But he don't know how.

106
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: He just said he don't want her to feel like

107
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: she being pushed away. So now what we're gonna do.

108
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: So when we come back, there will be a reenactment,

109
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: count on it. I live for those re enactments. I'm

110
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: gonna be this time. I'm gonna be the dude trying

111
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: to explain to you, my wife, why my sister gonna

112
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: keep coming over here right after this? You don't want

00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: sister though. I mean, but that's what we can do. That.

116
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: That's cool. No, no, no, I like that too. Let's

117
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: go with that. Alright. Look, we'll have part two of

118
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Steve's response and a reenactment coming up. Yeah. Oh, this

119
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: lady morodion because she mad because her hud fiance saying

120
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: real close with his older sister. She didn't got a

121
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: new house and didn't put a room in it for

122
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: him and painted his favorite football team on it like

123
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: he nine. She worried that when she getting married nothing

124
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: to change it ain't and then uh, she don't understand

125
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: because she's from single parent. She is she's been the

126
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: only child, so she don't understand dynamics of family. She

127
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: don't understand how anybody could be that close. So she

128
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: has no siblings. So we decided to do is a reenactment.
