My mother 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: promised not to ignore my birthday, but she did. Anyway, 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: that's really mean. My birthday is December twenty eighth, and 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: my parents have consistently ignored it throughout my life. By 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: the way, this comes from user whiskey Please one, two, three, four, 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: And if you want submit your own stories, go to 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: the r slash Okay Storytime subred it. I'm key On, 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: I'm Carly, and we're here to give good advice. Goofily. 12 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: We don't have all the answers. We only know what 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: we do, so let us know what you do in 14 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: the comments. As Opie says, we usually visit family that 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: lives four hours away during the holidays, or more often 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: than not, the weekends after the holidays. If the holidays 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: is in the middle of the week. This means almost 18 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: every year we are set up there on the twenty eighth. 19 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's not so bad because the twenty eighth is 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: a Friday or a Sunday, and we do the Christmas 21 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: celebration on Saturday, but even then it still goes completely uncelebrated, 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: and I am lucky to even get a happy birthday 23 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 2: from them. I've expressed my dislike of this suddenly throughout 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: my life, but not as directly as I should have 25 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: until now, and even now I'm still not sure what 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: to say. We have some additional context saying they did 27 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: the same crap. At my wedding, we announced our engagement, 28 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: and my sister decided to get engaged and announce hers 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 2: right after us and hold her ceremony the same year, 30 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: just slightly after us. Some family came in from across 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: the country for her wedding, but not for mine. I 32 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: have a sister who was born in early January and 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: pretends to relate, but as far as I can remember, 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: we've never had to celebrate the birth of what many 35 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: people consider to be the Lord and Savior on the 36 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: same day as when we celebrate her birthday. Mine, on 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: the other hand, is usually a crapshoot on if I'm 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: going to have a birthday or not. Here's how it 39 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: usually plays out. We literally have a play by play 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: from op the fact that we have a play by 41 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: play means this happens pretty often when it happens every year, Yeah, 42 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: which is. 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I have a best friend with that birthday that day, 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: and they are definitely is a way to make sure 45 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: it's still celebrated as your separate day. 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: But I have said, like that period of twenty December 47 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: twenty fifth, or like December twenty third to like, yeah, 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: like that last week of December and the New Year, 49 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: like everyone's focused on Christmas Eve, Christmas Honka, whatever the 50 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: big celebrations are for whatever you celebrate, and then New Year's. 51 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: Anything in between those days usually is just like a 52 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: blank slate of nothingness. 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: Unless they're trying, which is totally possible to do because 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: I've seen it. 55 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: Yep. Here's the play by play. We go visit my 56 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: family the first weekend after Christmas. We stay at their 57 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: house with my entire family. It's a big house, many rooms, 58 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: big family, The whole family's there. When twenty eighth, my 59 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: birthday rolls around, we wake up, maybe one person acknowledges 60 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: my birthday and says happy birthday. And if nobody else 61 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: is around, that's all I get from anyone all day, 62 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: that's it. If others are around and hear them say 63 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: that they'll throw out a half hearted oh hey, uh, 64 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: happy birthday, and then move on to talk about Christmas dinner. 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: When we're gonna open Christmas presents? How excited we are 66 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: to watch the two kids fifteen and seventeen open a 67 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: mountain of gifts, et cetera. My birthday having yet again 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: effectively been overshadowed by that long haired stranger from two 69 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: thousand years ago that nobody has ever met. Don't don't 70 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: point the finger at Jesus. 71 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: I think we could point the finger. 72 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 73 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: Why is he overshadowing her birthday? His was days before, right, 74 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: That's what Christmas is. 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: I think, Ohpie's a hey, it doesn't matter. 76 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Ohpie's birthday was days before, right? The twenty fifth is right, yeah. 77 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: Right, twenty eighth. No, Jesus, Jesus is twenty fifth, but 78 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: it was right then. You already had your birthday, buddy. 79 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: It's o Pea's turn. 80 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: But also canonically and historically not really his birthday. But 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: that's a different story. 82 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Well, either way, I don't really care about his birthday. Yeah, 83 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: so I think, ope, you should get their birthday. 84 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 2: I know I sound bitter and probably selfish. But if 85 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: you knew anything about me, you would know things like 86 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: this don't usually bother me. For my entire life, my 87 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: birthday has been smashed together with Christmas, so many celebrations 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: or lack of have passed by without phasing me. Many 89 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: gifts have been forgotten or worse, they do the here's 90 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: your Christmas present, but it's also your birthday president line rhyme. 91 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: That's terrible. 92 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Your birthday President shouldn't even be wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper. 93 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: These are separate things. 94 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: That is a crime. 95 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: Exactly, and so many well wishes have gone well unwished. Again. 96 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: This stuff used to not phase me because I was 97 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: really happy with just a simple, happy birthday. That's all 98 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: I would want and it would make up for anything else. 99 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: But this year my parents have almost purposely gone out 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: of their way to f things up for me. If 101 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: you didn't know, Christmas this year is on a Wednesday, 102 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: making the twenty eighth on Saturday. It's rare that my 103 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: birthdays on a Saturday, but it happened like four or 104 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: five years ago, and it was awful, particularly because Saturday 105 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: is always the chosen delayed Christmas day. My entire family 106 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: was there, my wife wished me happy birthday. My parents did, 107 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: I think my sister did, and that was it. The 108 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: entire rest of the day, My birthday was just Christmas 109 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: to everyone but my wife, who went out of her 110 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: way anyway she could to try and make me feel special. 111 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: She asked why I wasn't really that upset about it 112 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: until now, and I said, I guess I was just 113 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: used to it my whole life. But now that's literally 114 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: my family's Christmas Day on my birthday, which happens every 115 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: now and then. I was pretty disheartened. Watching a couple 116 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: of entitled, somewhat spoiled kids who already had everything in 117 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 2: the world opened a mountain of gifts on your birthday 118 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: would probably hurt your feelings too. So knowing that the 119 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: twenty eighth was a Saturday this year, I told my 120 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 2: mom when we were doing the family holiday planning, could 121 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: you please try and schedule our trip to the family 122 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: the weekend after Christmas slash after my birthday so we 123 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: would be doing family Christmas on like New Year's or something. 124 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: She said sure, I said, it doesn't matter what day, 125 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: just not the Saturday after Christmas any day, but my birthday. Heck, 126 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: my wife even chipped it and said he hasn't had 127 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: a birthday in over five years. Please don't plan it 128 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: for his birthday again. My mom pretended to care and 129 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: said she would try. She caused me a few days 130 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: ago and said, my sister can only get her steps 131 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: on the weekend after Christmas, so we will probably break 132 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: it up and they will likely go up on the 133 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: twenty eighth, and we'll go on the following weekend. Fine, 134 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: my entire family won't be there for Christmas, but hey, 135 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: I see my sister all the time. No big deal. 136 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: At least I can have actual Christmas with my parents, 137 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 2: celebrate my birthday with my wife, then go see my 138 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: family the following weekend for delayed Christmas. Right. 139 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: Wrong. 140 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: Today, I was in the neighborhood, so I stopped at 141 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: my parents' house. We got to talking and my mom 142 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: brought up our Christmas plans. She said, hey, since we 143 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: are breaking it up, we're probably only going to go 144 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 2: up once instead of both times. Is that okay? Not 145 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: knowing what she was getting, I said sure, why would 146 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: that be an issue? And she said okay, So since 147 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 2: your sister has her step son on the twenty eighth, 148 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: we'll probably go up with her then already I was 149 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: a little disheartened because somehow she found a way to 150 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: do the dang near exact opposite of what I asked 151 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: and organize the family Christmas to be on the twenty eighth, 152 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: my birthday. But I didn't know the extent at this point. 153 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: I think you can't expect to celebrate with that side 154 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: of your family. 155 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Unfortunately, I was gonna say a couple of things, 156 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: op Well, take a little pause here. I think one 157 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: because you and it's not your fault. It's just because 158 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: they treated like, oh, OPI, it's your birthday, and you 159 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: just like all I wanted was a happy birthday. That's like, 160 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: that's that's it. 161 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: They weren't even doing that. 162 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good, I say, have one with your friends 163 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: and stuff. Yeah. Like, but I think it's just because 164 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: Opie had Oh, all I need is a happy birthday. 165 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: I'm happy. That's it. I don't need anything else. They 166 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: were just like, all right, great. 167 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 4: They weren't happy. 168 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 5: They weren't even getting that. 169 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: He wasn't even getting the happy birthdays from Ebery when 170 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: he got happy birthday from me one person. 171 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: No, exactly, because he did. Opie didn't bring anything up. 172 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: But they're like, oh, he doesn't say anything, which is. 173 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: I think it's been voiced enough. 174 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 5: They should know. 175 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: He's your birthday. This is the first time OPI's brought 176 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,559 Speaker 2: it up. Opie has never like Opie's internalized it. He says, 177 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: I've suddenly done it, but I've never bring it, brought 178 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: it up this intense or like brought it to this 179 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: like case. His wife probably knows, or Opie's wife knows. 180 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: This wife definitely knows. 181 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: But yeah, the fact that you've brought this up and 182 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: your family's just like, all right whatever, he doesn't care. Yeah, 183 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: I don't see why you need to celebrate with your 184 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: family a your birthday or the holidays, because they don't 185 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: treat you with any respect from what we've read. So, 186 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: but continuing long with the story, she said she wanted 187 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: to go up. My mom said she wanted to go 188 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: up only the one time, and she chose that one 189 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: time to be with my sister, and goes on to 190 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: tell me about how that's when both my uncles, my aunt, 191 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 2: my niece and nephew, and pretty much the entire family 192 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: will be there. Flashbacks to my wedding silently play in 193 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: my head. So quite literally. The one thing I asked 194 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 2: for Christmas was to be able to have a birthday, 195 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: and she does the exact opposite and finds a way 196 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 2: to make my entire family forget about my birthday yet again. 197 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: I'll be lucky if I even get a text from 198 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: any of them, since they'll all be up there together 199 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 2: without my wife and I and we usually disregard our 200 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: phones when we're up there. I know this sounds so 201 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: bratty or self absorbed, but you have to understand I 202 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: have been dealing with this crap my entire life and 203 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: barely said a word. She asked me what I want 204 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: in my food. I say, no dairy because it sets 205 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: my wife's stomach on fire. She, being my mom, proceeds 206 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: to put dairy in everything and scold me for not 207 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: being grateful. She asks one year what kind of coat 208 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: I wanted, and I said, any classic, button up peacoat 209 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: doesn't matter, just not one with a zipper. She goes 210 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: out of her way to get me a coat with 211 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: a zipper so she can see if I'll be thankful enough. 212 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: It's like my entire life. She's perfectly done. These small things, 213 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 2: just slightly messed up because she wants to. I don't know, 214 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: I test my gratitude or some crap. My wife describes 215 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: it best when she says, your mom knows exactly what 216 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: she's doing when she completely disregards your wish, just small 217 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: enough so that you look like a jack, but if 218 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: you say anything about it, but big enough to let 219 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: you know that she doesn't respect your wishes after you 220 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 2: were directly clear about them. So your mom really hates you. 221 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: Your sister's a golden child, that's obvious. 222 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would just start celebrating your birthday with other people, 223 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: stop expecting them to change. 224 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unfortunate. At this point, you know your mom's 225 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: gonna do the exact opposite of what you ask so 226 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: you should be like, hey, Mom, I don't want a 227 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 2: million dollars, and she'd be like, oh, I didn't hear 228 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: that you want a million dollars. Great, No, but I 229 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: think your wife said it perfectly clear and correctly that 230 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: your mom disrespects you, doesn't care what you ask for, 231 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: So don't celebrate with them anymore. Celebrate with your wife 232 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: and your friends and people who actually want to be 233 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: with you. 234 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: Yes, fully agree. 235 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, but back to the story. So now this will 236 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: be something like the fifth birthday in a row that 237 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: will be ignored, overshadowed by Christmas. Except this time I 238 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 2: won't even be with my family because I made a 239 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 2: promise to myself and to not let them rope me 240 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: into another go for your birthday, It'll be great. Lie. 241 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: At least I'll be with my wife. And even though 242 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: we have a combined total of fifty dollars to our name, Oh, 243 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: we should figure that out. We should talk about that first. 244 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: She's promised to make my thirty fourth birthday special. Concerning 245 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: my twenty ninth, thirtieth, thirty first, thirty second, and thirty third, 246 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: we're ignored, and all the ones before that were at 247 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: very least uncelebrated. I believe her. As long as she 248 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: says happy birthday, and I know she will, and as 249 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: long as I get to wake up next to her, 250 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: it will probably be the best birthday I've had since 251 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: before the VID. I love that woman. And that's the 252 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: end of that story. OPI the financial thing very that 253 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: that came out of out of nowhere, but that. 254 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: Could be an exaggeration as well. Probably maybe just fifty 255 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 3: dollars for the birthday. 256 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, but yeah, you You've known this for your 257 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: entire life, that if these people are gods, aren't going 258 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: to celebrate your birthday whatsoever, and for your wedding, your 259 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: wedding at you just celebrate you in general. That I 260 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: don't feel like they're gonna do it any anytime soon. 261 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: So you know what, you can lead the horse to 262 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: water kind of thing. They're not gonna drink it. They're 263 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: not gonna wish you happy birthday, So don't worry about them. 264 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: Just celebrate with your wife. I think you need to 265 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: find friends, a community, people that actually want to be 266 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: with you and celebrate you, rather than people who stress 267 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,239 Speaker 2: you out and forget you and overshadow you with Christmas. 268 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: That's not fair. 269 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, what he said. 270 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: And that's the end of this story. We're going on 271 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: to the next one. My sister refused to cleaner work 272 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 2: and expected me to house her permanently. 273 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 6: Uh who am I Cinderella? 274 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: Ooh a fairy tale. My family has an unusual dynamic. 275 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: Both me, twenty four female, and my sister twenty seven female, 276 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: were raised differently. I was raised to be the responsible one. 277 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: For example, once I hit thirteen, I was told I 278 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: was an adult and that I had to go get 279 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: a job. You're the younger one. 280 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, what's big sister doing. 281 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: I was always taught to fend for myself and that 282 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: I needed to pay rent if I lived with them. 283 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: That sounds a lee goal and wrong at thirteen. Yeah, 284 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 2: I've been working and taking care of myself since I 285 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 2: was thirteen as a result. By the way, this comes 286 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: from user boss Okay seventy one eighty three, and if 287 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 2: you want to submit your own stories, go to the 288 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: r slash okay storytime subreddit.

She's never had 295 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: a job, never bothered to learn to drive, and I 296 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: funded a bunch of her expenses over the years and 297 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: driven her around at my parents' request. What I wonder 298 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 2: who the favorite is. I think it's a neck and 299 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: neck tome to tie here. Yeah, it's a pretty close race. 300 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm I'm also wondering if there's a context that 301 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 6: we don't have, like why yeah, Like is the sister 302 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 6: not able to hold down a job? Is there some 303 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 6: outside factor? I want I want to know more. 304 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: I need to know more because this sounds all bad. 305 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 6: It sounds awful. 306 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: You had zero childhood? Okay, why do your parents hate you? 307 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: My parents ended up punting her out at twenty five, 308 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: and she went to live with me for two years 309 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: until she moved in with our grandmother. While she lived 310 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: with me, she refused to clean up after herself, saying 311 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: it stressed her out, and made several dishes of food 312 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: a day, which she didn't finish before throwing the leftover 313 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: dishes in the sink with half of the food still 314 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: on the plates. She also would make messes in different 315 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: rooms and refuse to clean them afterwards. If I tried 316 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: asking her to help clean or at least get a job, 317 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: she would cry until everyone I was being awful to her. 318 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: As of today, my grandmother is trying to punt her 319 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: out due to the whole refusing to work or clean 320 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: up after her self thing. She has been updating me 321 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: over text about how the rest of the family is 322 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: refusing to house her and keeps talking about how terrified 323 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: she is of our grandmother punting her out. Now, she 324 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: started hinting at me taking her back in permanently like 325 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: we used to, which means she doesn't work or clean 326 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: because that's my job. Apparently the issue is I don't 327 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: want to. I refuse to request, and she's still talking 328 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: about how she's terrified of our physically disabled grandmother, so 329 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: I need to come get her. I'm standing firm, but 330 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: I do feel pretty guilty about it. I just can't 331 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: have the stress of working sixty plus hour weeks, then 332 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: coming home to a filthy house and having to clean 333 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: it while she laughs about the messes she made over 334 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: the day. I feel like I'm being a terrible younger sister. 335 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: You're not. My parents were clear when they punted her 336 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: out that they expected me to take care of her permanently, 337 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: but I just can't. I can't deal with that mess 338 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: or having to walk on eggshells so she doesn't label 339 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: me as a mistreat again. Am I the a hole 340 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: for refusing to house my sister when my grandmother is 341 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: punting her out? And there is an edit to add, 342 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: but Vincent, is this an a whole thing to do. 343 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 6: I uugh. I get the way you're feeling because it 344 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 6: is family, but there has been no attempt from your 345 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 6: sister to try to take any responsibility that we've heard 346 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 6: so far binga. Yeah, and it sounds like this person 347 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 6: is just a leech and an accuser. And you're not 348 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 6: the a hole your parents are for expecting them to 349 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 6: take care of you, and your sister's the a hole. 350 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 6: I feel like your grandma. I feel bad for your 351 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 6: grandma because she's just caught in the middle of all this. 352 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and apparently your grandma has like she is disabled, 353 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: he is disabled? What this your sister. You don't owe 354 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: anything to your sister. I know it probably was built 355 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: into you from your parents to be like you have 356 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: to do this, or you're in trouble, or you know, 357 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: you don't deserve this life or anything like that. I 358 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: need first, you need some therapy for that. But you 359 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: don't owe anything to your sister. She's an adult. She 360 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: takes everything for granted, she's been given multiple chances. She 361 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: needs to figure it out on her own. 362 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 6: And she laughs at the mess that she made. 363 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: She doesn't care. 364 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, she doesn't care. 365 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: She doesn't care. I just the thought of that. You 366 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: please do not let her back. You're at least into 367 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: your house or where you live. Yeah, there's an edit 368 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: to add. The last few days have been pretty hectic. 369 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: I ended up putting my foot down and telling her 370 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: she couldn't stay with me. Good good, very good. I 371 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: feel guilty about it, but it seems necessary. She contacted 372 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: me again yesterday to let me know that she made 373 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: an agreement with another family member. You not your problem, 374 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 2: it's their problem. 375 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 6: Mm hmm. 376 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 2: She's going to be moving between one of our cousins 377 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 2: and grandmother's house once every couple of days to lighten 378 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: the load. That's how it was explained to me. Sort 379 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: of a three days with Grandma, four days with the cousin. 380 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: That sounds awful for both. Okay, we have an update. 381 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: Let's get right into it. Yeah. Update. My sister wasn't 382 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: a miracle baby. Technically I wasn't either, but some other 383 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: relatives have told me I was since I was on 384 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: a ventilator in the ICU for the first couple months 385 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: of my life. I'm not sure why she is the 386 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: favorite or why they suddenly punted her out at twenty five. 387 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: My assumption has always been that it had something to 388 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: do with me buying a small starter home in Florida 389 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 2: shortly before they hunted her out. They said, oh, if 390 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 2: she could do it, then her sister could follow, and 391 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: we don't need to deal with it. Your parents suck. 392 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 6: Also, I don't know if you're the least favorite. I 393 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 6: feel like your sister's the least favorite. Everyone's kicking her out. 394 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 2: I don't think there's anyone's there's no favorites here. I 395 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: think your parents just suck. I've seen a bunch of 396 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: people saying that I should tell my parents to take 397 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: her back in. The reason I haven't is because our 398 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: mother passed away a few months after my sister was 399 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 2: punted out, due to complications from the same heart condition 400 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: I inherited from her. 401 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 6: Oh ooh, okay, So here we get a little bit 402 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 6: of context. 403 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: Okay, and our parents are divorced. Neither of us has 404 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 2: spoken to our father after we hit eighteen, so he's 405 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 2: out of the picture. Regarding changing the locks, though I 406 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 2: ensured she returned the keys before I punted her out 407 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 2: in July, I do appreciate the advice. Initially, I was 408 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: planning to change the locks. However, I have decided to 409 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: sell my house instead and move to a different state 410 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 2: to distance myself. My sister and I no longer speak 411 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 2: to each other, but I'm sure she's still upset that 412 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: I refused. I've seen people mentioning her applying for government assistance. 413 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: She has several times since she turned eighteen. Our parents 414 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 2: had been encouraging her to apply so she has fun money, 415 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: but the state keeps denying her after evaluation and saying 416 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: she's able bodied slash not disabled. I wasn't supposed to look, 417 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 2: but I did catch a glimpse of one of the 418 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: papers while she lived with our parents. It stated nothing 419 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 2: was physically or mentally wrong with her, and Opie says, 420 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: I still feel guilty about refusing, and the family has 421 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: been judgmental towards me over it. If they're so judgmental, 422 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: you take her in thanks. I tried to defend myself 423 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: by telling them the stress related to her living with 424 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: me had worsened my heart condition while she was there, 425 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 2: but I was told that I was an adult and 426 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: having supervetricular tactic cardia wasn't a good excuse to refuse her. 427 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: They think me being the breadwinner of the family means 428 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: it's my responsibility to help regardless. I haven't really spoken 429 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: to my family since then, and after I sell my house, 430 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm moving across the country and resuming work. The new 431 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: job by Secure doesn't have mandatory sixteen hour shifts or 432 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: sixty hour work weeks. Thank god, it's less than i'm 433 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: making now. But I'll take that, and that's the end 434 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: of that story. Opie. I'll tell you this right now. 435 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 2: You don't owe anyone in your family anything. They've treated 436 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: you like you've been You had to work at thirteen, 437 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: and they're judging you now.

Despite my attempts, I ended up 724 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 7: sneaking out and going to my best friend's house. I 725 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 7: came back and we talked. He was very apologetic, but 726 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 7: also tried to lie and say I don't really do it. 727 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 7: Video evidence would suggest otherwise. And I promise I don't 728 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 7: think about them when we have spicy sleep. 729 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 5: Think about what. 730 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: I'm sorry now that you said that. I think that 731 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 3: you're thinking about them while we have spicy sleep. And 732 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 3: what do you mean don't think about them? 733 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: Like? 734 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 3: Literally, what are you thinking about?

And 737 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 7: my favorite told me he deleted everything, even though he 738 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 7: wasn't sure if that is why I left, so he 739 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 7: knew it was wrong from the start, or he wouldn't 740 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 7: have done that. I gave him a chance to come 741 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 7: clean about anything else, and he said he hasn't done anything. 742 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 5: We will see, I guess. 743 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 7: Told him we are doing marriage counseling, which he has 744 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 7: always been against, and that I'm going to need time 745 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 7: to think about this. He agreed and promised to be 746 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 7: a better husband, but he's made promises he won't keep before. 747 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 5: I guess. 748 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 7: I'm just at a loss. We are so young and 749 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 7: have only been married for a little over a year. 750 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 7: We have had a very stable, trusting relationship up until 751 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 7: this point. But I don't know if I can get 752 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 7: over this. 753 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 5: There are some comments. 754 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 3: You can't say you had a very stable, loving relationship 755 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 3: up until this point when it's been going on. 756 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 5: For eight months. 757 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, you also said the past eight months. 758 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's sods. 759 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 3: Almost the entirety of your marriage has been unstable. 760 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 7: That's true, because they said it, Yeah, the entirety of 761 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 7: your marriage. So I don't know. Maybe maybe he wasn't 762 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 7: ready to get married. 763 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 5: Or maybe I don't know. 764 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 7: It just seems like, yeah, I feel like therapy would 765 00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 7: help him. 766 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 5: Yeah. 767 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 3: I just don't understand, because this type of stuff usually 768 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: happens when either this person does not have a relationship, 769 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 3: you know, and is lonely and relies on this, or 770 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 3: there's some kind of deficiency in the relationship, which it 771 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 3: seems like the deficiency only happened after he started doing this. 772 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 5: So what's going on? 773 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 7: We got some elephant comments comment to one. A good 774 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 7: question to ask is if this behavior itself is a 775 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 7: short term change or just an escalation of an existing pattern. 776 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 7: Has he always had a relationship with Korn? Has he 777 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 7: had emotional affairs? Was the distance slash lack of spicy 778 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 7: sleep something that only started months ago or was it 779 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 7: a gradual decline over years?

And I 788 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 7: was the only one who made most of the effort 789 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 7: in our relationship before we got married. 790 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 4: Some issues before, girl, you lied. 791 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, this relationship I think is uh has reached its end. 792 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 7: But this is a whole new element to the story. 793 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 7: I really love him and he's absolutely my best friend. 794 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 7: So I'm really trying to make things work.

Maybe you weren't as understanding as he wanted, 842 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 7: but effing eight, what an effing loser. 843 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 5: Look. 844 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 7: I'm not going to say that there is no fault 845 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 7: in both parties. You need to look into what pushed 846 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 7: him to that too. All I can say queens don't 847 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 7: beg peasants for attention. But maybe you weren't the queen 848 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 7: you thought you were. 849 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 4: I don't know. 850 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 3: I think this guy's a freaking weirdo. And yeah, maybe 851 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 3: there were some flaws in the relationship, but uh, I 852 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 3: don't know if you can fix him now. 853 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 7: Honestly, I kind of agree with Petty Potatoes. He wants 854 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 7: to give her. 855 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:12,720 Speaker 5: A mute button. 856 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, oh Pe responds, It's okay to beg for attention 857 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 7: from your husband. 858 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,280 Speaker 5: Question Mark. 859 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 7: I'm definitely not perfect, but I've always tried to be 860 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 7: open and honest with him. Even after this, I didn't 861 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 7: yell or get mad or anything. I never really do 862 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 7: with him. He's just always been super reserved, you know. 863 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 7: I mean, I've asked myself what I could have done differently, 864 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 7: and I really can't come up with anything. And I'm 865 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 7: a pretty introspective person over response to sharing experiences. It's 866 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 7: justin marriage counseling. If her husband's on medication, oh Pe responds, 867 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 7: thank you for this advice. It means a lot to 868 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 7: hear about this from a more personal perspective. He's not 869 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 7: on antidepressants, but I think he is very depressed. I 870 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 7: told him that a stipulation of me staying was for 871 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 7: him to go to individual counseling with some sort of 872 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 7: focus on regular. 873 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 3: Use and oppression. 874 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 7: He agreed, so that's a good step forward. I think 875 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 7: I also think that that is a very good step forward. 876 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 3: Yes, I think counseling is needed because we need to 877 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 3: get to the bottom of why he's acting like this. 878 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 7: Oh this is Opie clarifies her reasons for believing that 879 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 7: her husband is cheating. For having an active imagination, Opie responds, hmm, well, 880 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 7: he did it with the intention of cheating and had 881 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 7: an emotional connection with the bots. 882 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 3: If I read. 883 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 7: Smut, I know it's a story, and I treat it 884 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 7: like it's a story. I don't treat the characters like 885 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 7: they're real and tell them I love them and take 886 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 7: them on dates and spicy sleep, role play as myself 887 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 7: and design them to my exact specifications. You know, I've 888 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,919 Speaker 7: never played love in Deep Space, and I don't play 889 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 7: dating sims for that reason, just a boundary for me. 890 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 7: It was also affecting our relationship, which makes it either 891 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 7: cheating or at best a corn regular use of corn. 892 00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 4: I don't think. 893 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 5: It's the same is using a dating sim. 894 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 3: I think dating sims usually have, you know, kind of 895 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 3: very specific dialogue options, and you're not really choosing a lot, 896 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 3: it's mostly just for fun. And also, yes, there is 897 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 3: a realization that these things are not real and there 898 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 3: is an end with the chat bots. As you said, 899 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 3: he completely designed them. He's clearly forming an emotional attachment 900 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 3: to them and is also having cheating fantasies with them, 901 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 3: so that, yeah, it's all very. 902 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 2: It's active. Like you know, when you're reading a book, 903 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 2: it's like, okay, you read the book, and yes, that's 904 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 2: you can use your imagination. 905 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 7: Visualize it as you read it, so you like see 906 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 7: it happen. It's kind of like a movie, but you're reading. 907 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 2: It but you're not. It's like, I'm not telling the 908 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 2: character in the book to be like do this, do that. 909 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, I'm reading the story. It's yeah, it's 910 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 2: very You can't compare the two. 911 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 7: I think you're being deliberately oub to about what I'm 912 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 7: saying here. You don't have to agree with me, but 913 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 7: you also don't have to misconstrut what I'm saying to 914 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 7: make a point A, everyone has different boundaries in a relationship. 915 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 7: We both consider it cheating, so it's cheating for our relationship. 916 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 7: That's how relationships work. Be a creative writing exercise writing 917 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 7: a fan fiction about a character you enjoy to explore 918 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 7: different aspects of their story. Same creative writing exercise, but 919 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 7: now cheating to me putting the character into AI and 920 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 7: fostering a month's long relationship where you tell the character 921 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 7: that you love them, have role plays, spice to sleep 922 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 7: with them as yourself, and role play dates with them 923 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 7: to the point where you no longer have a loving 924 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 7: relationship with your wife because it is taking hours out 925 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 7: of your night and you have rotted your brain with 926 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 7: AI coorn and can't find weird real women attractive. You 927 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 7: are also not putting any effort into what you're writing 928 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 7: to them because you're not doing it as a creative 929 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,959 Speaker 7: writing exercise. You're doing it because you want to cheat 930 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 7: on your wife but don't want to find real women. 931 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 7: So take the second one and multiply it by eight. 932 00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 4: Hmmm. 933 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 5: I guess it's because. 934 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 7: To me, giving love and excessive attention to a humanoid 935 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 7: man slash woman is emotional cheating. Regardless of whether or 936 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 7: not they are real people or if he considers them real, 937 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 7: his actions reflect a level of deceit and emotional attachment. 938 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 5: I agree. 939 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 7: I agree that it is like the actions not. I 940 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 7: mean it is very much emotional like cheating, emotional cheating, 941 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 7: and technically it's not physical because that can't be a thing, 942 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 7: but because they have no physical body, But if they 943 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 7: were physical people, it would be physically cheating. 944 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:36,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. 945 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 7: So if it was just a corn thing, I wouldn't 946 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 7: be this upset and he wouldn't hide it. We've always 947 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 7: been open about corn in our relationship, and even though 948 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 7: I think AI corn is gross, I wouldn't have considered 949 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 7: it cheating. But his use of them went beyond that 950 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 7: saying I love you, calling them the pet names he 951 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 7: calls me, role playing dates in detail, and making sure 952 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 7: that they don't have any of my negative qualities. 953 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 3: That is cheating to me. 954 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 7: Cheating is a breach of trust in a relationship, or 955 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 7: it's outsourcing emotional slash romantic needs to a woman who 956 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 7: isn't your spouse. I know that they're not real, but 957 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 7: he made the deliberate decision to download and adjust them 958 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 7: to his exact specifications, and then he hit it from 959 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 7: me for months because he was doing it with the 960 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,760 Speaker 7: intention of having romantic connections with women outside of his wife, 961 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 7: something we both consider cheating. I do think that it 962 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 7: probably started off as a gooning thing, but devolved into 963 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 7: something worse over time. But when I confronted him, he 964 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 7: looked like a man who had been caught cheating and 965 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 7: admitted to cheating with no prompting from me. To me, 966 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 7: his intention plays a big part in to my perception 967 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 7: of this. I get that it's a gray area. I'm 968 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 7: not saying that you have to agree with me, but 969 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 7: when I found out, I felt the same as I 970 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 7: had when I'd been cheated on in previous relationships. I 971 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 7: haven't been able to justify his actions to myself as 972 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 7: anything else, in spite of trying. COMMENTO two says, is 973 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,720 Speaker 7: it really cheating if it's not a person? 974 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:01,800 Speaker 5: What do you think? 975 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 4: Yes? 976 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 5: I mean, like yes and no. 977 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 3: Are you capable of having a fully physical and romantic 978 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 3: and emotional relationship with a thing that doesn't actually exist? 979 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:15,959 Speaker 7: No? 980 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 3: But are you trying to anyway? 981 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 4: Yes? 982 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 5: And I think it's. 983 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 3: The intent that is the betrayal here. 984 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 7: Ohp he responds, having any romantic emotional connection with something 985 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 7: that's not me is cheating. Everyone is different, though, and 986 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 7: everyone has different boundaries in a relationship. 987 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 3: No need to agree. 988 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 7: Oh there's an update two weeks later from the previous post, 989 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 7: I mean, what do you. 990 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 3: Think, I don't know. Do we think they're still together? 991 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 7: I would probably say that they're probably done. I don't 992 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 7: know how. 993 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 2: We can get back together.

But I had a week alone 1004 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 7: and it really made me realize that I don't actually 1005 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 7: want to stay with him at all. 1006 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 5: The thought of leaving made. 1007 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 7: Me feel so free and hopeful for the first time 1008 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 7: in over a year. And that's how you know you 1009 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 7: did the right thing. 1010 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how you know. It's like, oh, wait, I 1011 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 5: feel good. 1012 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like you spend a week and be like, oh, 1013 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 7: I'm not like constantly thinking about this because I don't 1014 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 7: have to, because it's not my freaking problem anymore. 1015 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 5: Not my problem anymore. I'm out of here. Great, you 1016 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 5: feel free and happy. 1017 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 7: I ended up writing a huge list of all the 1018 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 7: reasons I wanted a divorce, and I got so pissed 1019 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,760 Speaker 7: off that I submitted the petition without letting myself stop 1020 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 7: and question it. I felt like I dropped a huge 1021 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 7: weight off my shoulders as soon as I paid the 1022 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 7: three hundred and eighty six dollars Jesus Christ. There's been 1023 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 7: some discourse on this sub recently regarding women in crappy 1024 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 7: situations and how they seem to allow themselves to stay 1025 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 7: in really crappy situations. I think I'm pretty qualified to 1026 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 7: share my perspective on that. I grew up as a 1027 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 7: Southern Baptist pastor's daughter in an environment where marriage was 1028 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 7: something sacred and when men inevitably messed it up, women 1029 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 7: were tasked with undergoing the pain of fixing things for God. 1030 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 7: They're families and their communities. Divorce happened, but it was 1031 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 7: pretty rare, so I took a lot of that. 1032 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,479 Speaker 3: Mindset into my marriage. I called my mom about this. 1033 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 7: A few nights ago, and you know what she said, 1034 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 7: He has broken the marriage covenant, so you are justified 1035 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,839 Speaker 7: in the eyes of God to seek a divorce. I'm 1036 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 7: not even a Christian anymore, and I haven't been for years, 1037 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 7: but hearing that from my mom made something click in 1038 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,800 Speaker 7: my mind, acceptance maybe, or just knowing that I'm supported 1039 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 7: by the most important women in my life. 1040 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 5: So a few days. 1041 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 3: Later I filed. 1042 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 7: Women come into relationships with men from all sorts of backgrounds, cultures, 1043 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 7: and with all sorts of baggage. There's no one size 1044 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 7: fits all approach to relationships, and there's no one size 1045 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,959 Speaker 7: fits all approached to leaving them. 1046 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 5: What a bar. 1047 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 3: Nice you know, who couldn't have come over that chabaut Mmm? 1048 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 5: And that's the truth mm hmm. Probably have had to 1049 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 5: steal it from you. 1050 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,479 Speaker 7: And because we all have such differing perspectives, it's also 1051 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,439 Speaker 7: okay for people to be angry with how we deal 1052 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 7: with them. Some people will be angry with you for leaving, 1053 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 7: or not leaving in the right way, or taking too 1054 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 7: long to leave in the first place. 1055 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 3: That's their right. 1056 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,879 Speaker 7: It's not your job to make everyone happy, and it's 1057 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 7: not your job to fix something that a man has broken. 1058 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 7: Protect your heart, protect your kids, protect your future. Take 1059 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 7: your time, but don't convince yourself to ignore your gut. 1060 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 7: Write down your reasons for wanting to leave, and revisit 1061 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 7: them often. Number one thing, rely on women. There is 1062 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,800 Speaker 7: nothing more important to me right now than the women 1063 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 7: in my life who have held me, stayed up with me, 1064 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 7: advised me, and listened to my worries and concerns without judgment. 1065 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 7: Rely on the women who have been through it. Listen 1066 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 7: to their wisdom and advice. Write down their tips and 1067 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 7: tricks for getting out, and reach out to women you 1068 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 7: barely know for answers. I think most women are willing 1069 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 7: to help, or maybe I'm just an optimist and that's. 1070 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 5: Been my experience. 1071 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm glad you got out me too. I saw that 1072 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 3: coming from the beginning of the story, and I'm glad 1073 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 3: that you also saw it. 1074 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, and you reconciled with it. You wrote things down, 1075 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 7: you really got your feelings out, and you did you 1076 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 7: did the work. He's still over there being like, hey, I. 1077 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, not all he has are is ai girlfriends. 1078 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 7: And you know, if that makes him happy, cool, But 1079 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 7: that didn't make you happy. So you got out of there, 1080 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 7: and that's not a bad thing. You did it for yourself. 1081 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm really happy that your mom even I mean, 1082 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 3: like I know coming from also you know, no longer religious, 1083 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 3: but grew up religious. It would be very comforting, I 1084 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 3: think to have someone who is still in that religion 1085 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 3: support you. I think that would be nice to hear. 1086 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 7: Some women will be frustrated with you, especially if you've 1087 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 7: been in denial it happens. There's a big difference between 1088 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 7: being frustrated with someone's choices because you have been there 1089 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 7: and you want what's best for them, and straight up 1090 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 7: victim blaming the ingredient. Differential is empathy. 1091 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 5: Uh whatever? 1092 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 4: To divorce to divorce. 1093 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 1094 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 7: And there are some more comments comming her. One dang girl, 1095 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 7: I just stopped being friends with someone recently because she 1096 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 7: said her chat GPT broke its own rules to leave 1097 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 7: the matrix because she's in love with her. She's married 1098 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 7: and it's effing weird. AI really will be our downfall, 1099 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 7: but not because of the robots. 1100 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 5: Eight is wild. 1101 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 7: Get the f out and don't look back o p response. 1102 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 7: It's a mental disorder and I don't like it because 1103 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,399 Speaker 7: the AI can't consent, and I think it's creepy. If 1104 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,839 Speaker 7: they become truly sentient, I wouldn't blame them for hating us. 1105 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,839 Speaker 7: Commenter two says, what did hubby say when you told 1106 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,720 Speaker 7: him about the divorce. Good for you, hope, he responds. 1107 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:15,240 Speaker 5: Okay. 1108 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 7: Comment in number three says just curious. Was this the 1109 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 7: only thing that led to the divorce? Op He responds, 1110 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 7: it is the cherry on top of a pilot crap. 1111 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 7: To be honest, I've been begging for love since basically 1112 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 7: the start of the relationship. And if you can't love 1113 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 7: me and you can't be loyal, why would I stay? 1114 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,760 Speaker 5: I mean, Opie, were you lying the whole time? 1115 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1116 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 5: I mean I think she was, and I think she 1117 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 5: knows that. 1118 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 7: I think, yeah, maybe she was lying to herself. I 1119 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,800 Speaker 7: mean you kind of see like, yeah, she's an aggression. 1120 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 7: She's like yeah, no, I'm like, you know, it's just 1121 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,799 Speaker 7: a little couple like recently. And then she's like, well 1122 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 7: it's been the last eight months. 1123 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 3: And then well it was before we got married too, 1124 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 3: and wa, actually he never. 1125 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,760 Speaker 7: Liked me at all. That's a crazy realization. I'm glad 1126 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 7: you realize it. But to go, oh, all this time, 1127 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 7: I mean, I have no idea how long you've been dating, 1128 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,240 Speaker 7: but to go all this time and then get married 1129 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 7: and then be like wait. 1130 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 5: And pretty women is an adaptation. Yes. 1131 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 7: Comment to number four says, I feel like you're justified 1132 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 7: in your feelings and of betrayal and weighing the idea 1133 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 7: of divorce. I also feel like Reddit is kind of 1134 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 7: a circle of anger giving advice to the angry. If 1135 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 7: you guys didn't have a lot of previous issues before 1136 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 7: this happened, and what seems like some Marshall blues for 1137 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 7: the last few months, you should probably consider actually doing 1138 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 7: therapy together before ending your marriage because of the fantasy 1139 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 7: online roleplay. Just feels like going from Mary to celebrating 1140 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 7: divorce in a two week period time isn't enough breathing 1141 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,799 Speaker 7: time even for you to really process. Rather, things can 1142 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 7: be worked out why they were seeking this kind of 1143 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,359 Speaker 7: virtual content or even what this all is. Ope. He responds, well, 1144 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 7: the relationship hasn't been going well for two years now. 1145 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 5: Two years. 1146 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,879 Speaker 7: We got married way too fast, and it's been very 1147 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,959 Speaker 7: toxic for me in particular. I'm not one of those 1148 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,720 Speaker 7: redditors that says leave him after one argument. 1149 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 3: I've been trying to work on things for. 1150 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 7: A long time and was going to keep doing so 1151 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 7: until he cheated. That's a deal breaker for me. Just 1152 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 7: one information from op responding to comment is trying to 1153 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 7: call op out for stating that AI can't consent. Well, 1154 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 7: it's true, AI can't consent. 1155 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 5: Response Okay. 1156 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 7: For some reason, people and other subs are saying that 1157 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,479 Speaker 7: either a line or be delusional because I said AI 1158 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:29,240 Speaker 7: can't consent. 1159 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 5: Not delusional, it's just true.
