16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: We live somewhere here in California. This story took place

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago at a family reunion

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: which also doubled as a wedding anniversary celebration for one

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: of my uncles. It was at this event I announced

20

Speaker 1: slash Okay story times out right like what he did now.

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: My family is proudly Catholic, yet they have been accepting

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: of my identity as attracted to the same gender man.

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: My parents divorced five years ago and my father remarried

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: two years later. He's met Jeff multiple times and has

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: treated him well as he should. He even refers to

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Jeff as his son in law and they often bond

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: over golf, NBA games, and other activities that I don't

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: usually share with my father, being a more feminine attracted

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: to the same gender man. My father has three other sons,

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: all married, and I'm the youngest. We weren't close growing

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: up as he was in the army and missed a

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of our childhood. He's been trying to make up

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: for that in the recent years. My mother, who passed

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: away a year ago, always supported me and asked before

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: she passed away way that I let my father walk

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: me down the aisle one day. Uh oh, that's adorable.

43
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: My heart, my heart burns now. My brothers, Ages thirty,

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: thirty two, and thirty five are also in the military

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: military family over here, one of the Navy. Two in

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: the Army. They've always supported me and called me little princess.

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Oh oh, bless if that's how you feel, supported hopefully, lovingly,

48
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: oh man. When I came out to them in high school,

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: they embraced me wholeheartedly, often joking that I was their

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: long lost princess trapped in a male body. I guess

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: that's cute. They defended me from bullies and never made

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: me feel less than We like that. We love w

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: In May of last year, Jeff proposed to me. He

54
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: asked for my father's blessing first, and then proposed our

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: house with a cake that read will you marry me?

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Our shared memories played on the TV graduation trips, family reunions,

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: and both our parents witnessed the proposal, and I said, yes,

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Oh cute and pure unadulterated cuteness. We love love on

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: this show, y'all. We love love. I asked my father

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: not to tell my brother's right away because I wanted

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: to share the news with them personally. At the time,

62
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: my third brother was stationed abroad and we didn't know

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: when he'd be back, so in July, during the family

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: reunion at my uncle's house, the moon was casual. My

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: uncle's teased Jeff and me, and while not everyone was

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: thrilled that I'm attracted to the same gender, like Uncle Ben,

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: a veteran who frequently says I'd be better off straight. Ooh,

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I felt supported overall, all right, good gravy, Uncle Ben.

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben often says, maybe it's a blessing you're attracted

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: to the same gender since our bloodline never had a girl.

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: When the sexism cancels out, the holophobia, wins, are you winning?

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: It's true no female cousins. One cousin once replied, at

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: least we have a princess, to which another joke our

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: princess should wear a dress. Most of it was lighthearted teasing,

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: and I didn't take offense. My aunt said little about

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: my identity, though one often muttern things like I'm lucky

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: none of my sons are defective. Oo oh that is

78
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: that's a little yucky. That's super yucky.

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: It's a little yucky. I also wonder if you know,

80
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: all the family, the close family is saying the princess

81
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: stuff and like a good spirit, and then the extended

82
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: family is saying the princess stuff in.

83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Bad yes, because like and you know, I think it

84
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: could obviously get dicey, but it seems like Opie feels

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: fully supported and you know, has the like defend the

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: brothers always defended him from bullies and you know, embraced

87
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: him in everything. But yeah, it's like once someone else

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you're an outsider. You don't get to

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: do that. This is this is our language because close

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: like that, our dinner came and I knew it was

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: time to announce the engagement. Nervous but encouraged by my

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: father raising his beer, I stood up and said, I'm

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: getting married. A beautiful moment, right.

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: Beautiful moment that will not be ruined by any uh

95
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: daft uncles in the crowd.

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Nothing bad is gonna happen, nothing bad except for Uncle Ben.

97
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben, no thought you were cool.

98
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: We thought you were all about you know, with great

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: power becomes great responsibility. You know, there's maybe that's the

100
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: quote we're gonna get from Uncle Ben. You know, but

101
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: let's see what what?

102
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: What? What does Uncle Ben have to say? Something different?

103
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben equipped, oh, you found a girl. My cousin

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: quickly chimed in, he's the girl, referring to me as

105
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the bride. Is that is that in good? Is that? Like? Okay?

106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: I he's the girl. I cannot imagine. Also, I think

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: this is the cousin. Remember the brothers are the one

108
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: that had the princess nickname, right, this is I'm sorry,

109
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I just cannot imagine. I cannot imagine. I have to

110
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: feel like OPI's like, I wonder how op he feels

111
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: about it.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: I feel I'm probably not great about Uncle Ben, but

113
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: I know like Opie has been okay with the princess

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: talk beforehand, so I'm curious how this sits with op.

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, let's see. So my cousin's wife congratulated us warmly,

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: while Aunt Karen muttered, so you'll never get fixed for kids.

117
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Shut that down with cheers. That's great, Okay, at least

118
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: there's people on ops side, didn't its Gracious Jeff was

119
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: prepared for some negativity as long as my father and

120
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: brother stood by us. But this drama centers all my

121
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: stepmother's reactions, not the extended family's comments. My sister in

122
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: law called her husband, the deployed brother, to tell the news. Later,

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: when we were in the living room playing games and

124
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: the kids were asleep, my step mother entered the room

125
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: and declared marriage should be honored by all, and the

126
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulter

127
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: and all the spicy related immorality. Is that a Is

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: that a quote? I get? Probably? Dude, just off the

129
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: just homophobia off the dome. Dude, Dude, she shot that

130
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: crap on he lock. Didn't even need any need to

131
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: write it down. She just went for, please, don't write

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: that down. Don't write it down. Please. Unfortunately it had

133
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: to be just to share the story on Okay storytime.

134
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: The room went silent. My cousins asked what she meant.

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Just Jeff asked what was that for? Clearly offended, my

136
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: cousin's wife identified the verse Hebrews thirteen to four. My

137
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: stepmother continued, claiming being attracted to the same gender is

138
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: a sin and that I'd burn if I married Jeff

139
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: in a church. Jeff calmly replied, calling her out by name,

140
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: seems like you're quoting at the wrong time. I had

141
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: no disagreement. She continued, quoting verses including husband's love your

142
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: wives as Christ loved the church, and eventually said man

143
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: must not lie with man. I could feel Jeff's discomfort,

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: and I froze, unsure of what my father would think

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: if I spoke out against his wife. But when she

146
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: opened her mouth again, I lost my temper. I threw

147
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: my adult soda ad her and said, may the Holy

148
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: water shower you with blessings. That's pretty funny. We don't

149
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: can do it. Pretty funny thing we don't know. That

150
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: is the most hilarious, do you know? Throwing throwing a

151
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: little it's just some some adult beverage, a little, a

152
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: little spressn It's funny, that's funny, funny. Cannot lie, She screamed,

153
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: called my father and declared, this is what happens when

154
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: you're attracted to the same gender. No respect or upbringing.

155
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: Where's your respect?

156
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: You're literally yelling just terrible things at what should be

157
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: a happy moment.

158
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: What happened to uh, love thy love thy neighbor and

159
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: maybe love thy son in law. One would think you

160
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: would want to maybe be nice to that.

161
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: Let's give it him all that yeah, those lines don't matter.

162
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: Love your neighbors stuff.

163
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's not the quote. I'm trying to stupid.

164
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: I snapped back, telling her that she didn't raise me,

165
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: asking if she even counted his family, and remarking, you

166
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: can't even bear a child. Jeff and I left. Damn.

167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that was that was an exchange, right, there can

168
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: be boil boy. Later, I got text in a voicemail

169
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: from my cousins. My sister in law said, my father

170
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: and stepmother and stepmother fought after we left. Hopefully father

171
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: defending Opie and is his fiance. One brother called a

172
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: check on me. Uncle Ben texted, she's not wrong, but

173
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: she's wrong. At the same time, Uncle Ben, you need

174
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: to stop chiming in.

175
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: Uncle Ben, is it just says the most unhelpful things.

176
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: You know what I think at the most unhelpful moments.

177
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: I think, like you said earlier, he sees the brother's

178
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: rising and he thinks he's like in that same pocket

179
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: of like, oh, yeah, I rise you, but like I'm

180
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: like still like on your side when it's like no,

181
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben, You're you're no.

182
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, uncle Like I feel like Uncle Ben is very bigoted,

183
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: but trying to like be on op side.

184
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and thinking he's like kind of in you know

185
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't know if Uncle Ben's quite in.

186
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: Let me read the full text. So this is a

187
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: full text. Uncle Ben sent she's not wrong, but she's wrong.

188
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: At the same time, the princess is standing up for himself.

189
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Let me talk to your dad about his second divorce.

190
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: That made us laugh. Another uncle warned us to drive safely.

191
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: Maybe Uncle Ben isabe isn't So I'm a little confused

192
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: by this familial dynamic.

193
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like it's like, wait, is that okay? Or

194
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: is that not okay? Yeah, I'm not sure. Bouncing bouncing

195
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: back and forth, I'm not sure. My brother's texted Jeff

196
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: instead of me, asking where we were before our wedding.

197
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: My father asked if i'd try to reconcile with my stepmother.

198
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: I agreed and met her at a cafe. She started

199
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: the conversation with you're ruining my marriage. I think you're

200
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: doing that yourself, buddy. Yeah, And also you're ruining my

201
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: marriage because uh, you suck. What are you doing? She

202
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: told me to cancel the wedding and marry a woman

203
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: if I wanted to be a part of their family.

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, no, you did. I don't want to. I

205
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: a how about how about now? How about how about

206
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: you respect me and my soon to be a husband

207
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of my family,

208
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: Like do the reverse on him, Like this is my dad,

209
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: my cousin, this is you are a step mom, And

210
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm reading it between the lines. I think, like married

211
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: when Opie was an adult, Like she didn't raise him,

212
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: married in holy moly. After that, I texted everyone brother's father,

213
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Jeff's parents, and our wedding organizer saying she was not

214
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: welcome at the wedding or rehearsal dinners. Fire. Yes, yes, absolutely,

215
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: she's gonna say this it during the wedding. Are you

216
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: kidding me? She's gonna She's gonna ruin the whole thing. Yeah.

217
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: I call my eldest brother, almost in tears and told

218
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: him everything. He spread the words to my family and

219
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: my father was furious. At the wedding, my father proudly

220
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: walks me down the aisle. A week later, we attended

221
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: a church service together with my husband and immediate family.

222
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Stepmom included. She claimed she was walking on egg shells.

223
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: When you're trampling like a unsheathed boceros and like, yeah,

224
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: you're you're you're probably going to realize that you're bumping

225
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: into things and breaking stuff. But it's because you're actually rampaging,

226
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: not because there's egg shells everywhere.

227
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Honestly, it felt more like she was burning

228
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: in the holiness of the church. I joked. I was

229
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: surprised I wasn't burning myself. That's good. Hey, hey, I

230
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: guess they're still We're good and we're still cooking. Oh

231
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: my god. My brother asked if I felt hot. Jeff replied,

232
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: he is. Oh, I love their on on point. Got

233
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: to give it to him, really love that. Two months

234
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: into our marriage, our father and Jeff's parents bought us

235
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: a house as a surprise. Oh w surprised, my god.

236
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: My stepmother ruined the surprise by me not to accept

237
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: it because it was near a church.

238
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: Dude, get I mean, but all right, just by her

239
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: own logic, wouldn't him being near a church be better

240
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: because maybe he would be infected with the Lord's holy graces?

241
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: I mean, or do you believe he's more powerful than

242
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: the church?

243
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: Dude? Yeah? Come on, see, I thought God was powerful, man,

244
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: I thought God was all powerful. Even Jeff didn't know

245
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: about that one. I asked my brothers about it and

246
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: they told me the gift was from their combined savings

247
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: and my father's personal funds. Oh. Also, just really quick.

248
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: If I am in father's shoes and my wife, who's

249
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: not the mother of my child's, who I know married

250
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: later in life, keeps saying these things about my son,

251
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can continue this relationship she

252
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: keeps doing it. She's clearly not changing herself or accepting

253
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: him or anything.

254
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: I mean, if I was the father, I would be like, wait,

255
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: that's my son. I can't be talking like that.

256
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, Sophia?

257
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 3: I agree. I would not want to be in a

258
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: relationship with someone who did not support my family members,

259
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: especially like a child. Not that he's a child, but

260
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: like my yes, my hypothetical child, indeed.

261
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Your hypothetical adult child as the father of the family.

262
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: In my hypothetical fatherhood, indeed my hypothetical adult child with

263
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: my hypothetical homophobic wife.

264
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: There's an improv character for you. A lot to work

265
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: with us, A lot of there's hypothetical. My eldest brother

266
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: asked me to act surprised when the house was revealed,

267
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I joked I might be an a hole for knowing

268
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: in advance. My second brother said, I didn't fight in

269
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: a war for my princess to rent an apartment. Dang it,

270
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: I love him. I lost. It's so good. His wife

271
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: laughed in the background. Oh and this little princess. He's

272
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: meaning a stepmom again this weekend. Stay tuned. I'm betting Jeff.

273
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm adding Jeff's third leg. She won't have anything nice

274
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: to say about my marriage. Third leg. Dude, dang, the

275
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: pack is listen if I if I have to get

276
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: us out of here. Jeff's got a hawk, Jeff's got

277
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: a hog. You know, I think they're they're happy honeymooners.

278
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think that's what's going on here. Dude,

279
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: we have an update. W family absolute W's well, I

280
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: guess some all the close family. The close family is fire.

281
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Stepmom sucks. Question. Do we go to Dad and be

282
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: like yo, Not that I'm like trying to like control

283
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: your marriage or tell you to divorce like anything like that,

284
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: but like, Yo, your wife is bugging out. Your wife

285
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: is a whack. I feel like I would at a

286
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: point be like, yeah.

287
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: I think it's you know, so out of out of sorts,

288
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: and it feels like actively trying to damage any relationship

289
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: that OP can have.

290
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,360

Speaker 1: That's right. This all goes back almost two years, but

299
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: I feel like the drama never ends. I'm writing this

300
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: late because me and my Jeff just got home. Sorry,

301
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,080

302
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: link here. But here's the updated, y'all. When I announced

303
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: my engagement to my now husband at our family reunion,

304
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: my stepmother decided it was the perfect moment to read

305
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: us a Bible verse. You can guess the type. It

306
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: was clear she was disapproving of our relationship. Fast forward,

307
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: we didn't invite her to said wedding. That was a

308
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: mutual decision between me, my family, and Jeff's family. Since then,

309
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: we have tried to stay civil. Jeff and I agreed

310
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: at first, try kindness, but now she's over stepping again.

311
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: Now it's war. Now it's war. And for the record, yes,

312
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: I am keeping my husband's third leg. Booom, stand on

313
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: that third leg. Yep, stand on that third leg. Tripot

314
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: on that. It's very strong, it's very sturdy. Just this week,

315
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: she texted me out of nowhere telling me not to

316
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: accept the house that my father and brothers had secretly

317
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: been preparing for me as a surprise gift for me

318
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: and Jeff. They again, the family bought Ope and his

319
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: husband and the house is against house, amazing, absolutely love it.

320
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: Apparently she found out and tried to sabotage it. I

321
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: later confirmed with my brothers that this house is something

322
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: that they and my father have been working on for

323
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: over a year, and even Jeff's family chipped into it.

324
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: It was never meant to be a contest between families,

325
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: just a gesture of love. But clearly someone can't handle that,

326
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: and that someone is named step mom. Step mom, stop it,

327
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: stop doing that. That insult the injury. My stepmother claimed

328
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: my father was just using their point account to fund

329
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: the house. She showed me no proof. Then she questioned

330
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: whether I'm even my father's son.

331
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 2: How is this not grounds for the dad being like,

332
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: all right, this this girl too crazy. Get She's literally

333
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: accusing the dad of stealing money from their joint account, right.

334
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: And having an affair baby, having a fair baby, just yeah,

335
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: come on, and being insanely homophobic to his his songs.

336
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: They're not a limit there, where's the lot?

337
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: Where's the I feel like we've crossed the line so

338
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: many times, and I do like that the dad is

339
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: being supportive of op, but not supportive enough. Like, at

340
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: a certain point, you can't just apologize for someone that

341
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: you're associated with a certain point you have to separate

342
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: from that person that you're associated.

343
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially when you're married to them, especially when

344
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: you're married. That's a that's a co sign right there.

345
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: Then she questioned whether I'm my father's son, hinted that

346
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: my sister in law might be cheating because she's pregnant

347
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: with a girl. Our bloodline doesn't produce daughters. What who?

348
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Who is this woman? And said there's no way a

349
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: attracted to the same gender child like me could be

350
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: related to her husband. He's too straight for you. Oh boy,

351
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: strike three question mark. She implied, I might turn my

352
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: young nephews attracted to the same gender by being around them,

353
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: as if queerness is something contagious. My goodness. For the record,

354
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: I am a feminine attracted to the same gender. Man, Yes,

355
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: but I dress appropriately around kids. My brothers support me

356
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: fully and have taught their kids that love and identity

357
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: aren't something to be ashamed of. Dude veterans teaching their kids.

358
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: I love that that love and identity isn't something to

359
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: be ashamed of. I'm here for it. Anyways, after that

360
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: awful talk, I told Jeff everything. My father later called

361
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: and asked if I fought with his wife again. Apparently

362
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: she told him. I said she's not allowed around my nephews.

363
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: I never said that. She's spinning stories to manipulate the situation,

364
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: and I'm done playing nice about it. Later, I called

365
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: my eldest brother. She's currently on military leave, and he

366
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: told me that even if I wanted to decline the house,

367
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: it's already a group gift. Jeff, why would you decline

368
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: the house though? Yeah? This is wait what I'm confused?

369
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: Meaning like even if he did, if you want to decline,

370
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: it could and like, Nope, we're giving you this house

371
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: and we love you and we're gonna do whatever goes

372
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: for you. Sorry, buddy, we love you and you're gonna

373
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: get this love. Noe have sanserbots, Jeff's parents, my sister

374
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: in law's everyone is involved, and honestly it means something

375
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, I mean that's like, it's like, hey,

376
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: this is this is a part of us. Yeah. I

377
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: won't let her ruin that. This woman has been undermining

378
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: me since day one. My uncles and father raised us

379
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: with strong family bonds. Even while deployed, my brothers and

380
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: I have maintained those values. We support each other, our partners,

381
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: and our kids. We show up. We were raised by

382
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: three wonderful moms and three great dads. Yes, our big

383
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: extended family and the community we've built is beautiful. Again,

384
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: that's the aunts and uncles and cousins. There not a

385
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,200

386
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: lot of polycule Just for the record, So, no, I'm

387
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: not giving up the house. I'm not letting someone who

388
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: clearly dislikes me dictate my worth or my family's loved

00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: of concern. He says, we don't owe her anything and

Speaker 2: letting me live with them.

00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: Sit down, but not on no piece furniture.

446
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 2: Twenty eight months ago, I moved into my sister and

447
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: brother in law's house. I was leaving a highly harmful

448
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: marriage that had turned life threateningly physical. I was leaving

449
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: a hospital stay and needed somewhere to go pronto. Out

450
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: of desperation, I moved in with them. I say out

451
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: of desperation because in any other situation I would have

452
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: chosen living in my car. They are so awful. By

453
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: the way, this comes from suspicient spite. And if you

456
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: was still in the hospital, we hashed out a bit

457
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: of the detail, which included the fall one bedroom to

458
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: use a shared bathroom with the kids. I furnished said

459
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: bedroom and pay for my own toilet, trees, food, et cetera.

460
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: And pay fourteen hundred dollars rent each month, pay half

461
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: the utilities roughly five hundred dollars a month. Street parking

462
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: not great, I know, I will reiterate. I was desperate,

463
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: and I agreed to move in. I had half a

464
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: house's worth of things, which included my bed, couch, dining

465
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: room table, and I furnished my bedroom. I paid for movers,

466
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: I bought toilet trees and food for myself. I was

467
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: told I could use the fridge in the garage for

468
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: all my perishable food. The first month there, they added

469
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 2: a few new things to my contract. So already, oh,

470
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: he's paying like close to two grand a month.

471
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm just curing, you know, maybe we'll get full context later.

472
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm curious why we're not deploying this two k in

473
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: rent somewhere else, because that is a good chunk of

474
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: money to be able to rent something, even in like

475
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: a big city. Maybe their their credit isn't good. Ah,

476
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: it could be something like that, but.

477
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: Maybe the first month there, first month in this new

478
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: place with terms that are already fit like a lot. Yes,

479
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: they added a few new things to my contract. Watch

480
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: the kids twice a month, okay, make dinner twice a week.

481
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: Huh. No friends allowed over? Oh my god?

482
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: Ever an eight pm curfew. I was thirty years old,

483
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: I was on a teenager or child. I disagreed to

484
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: the last two stipulations, but was told to pack my

485
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: things and get out when I said no, So I

486
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: wound up sticking to them as best I could. I

487
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: work in the medical field and have twenty four hour

488
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 2: shifts sometimes and also frequently work overtime. However, I'm usually

489
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: scheduled five am to five pm, five days a week,

490
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: so I don't have to cover a shift or have

491
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: mandatory overtime. Also, within the first month of living there,

492
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 2: I found that although I was invited by them to

493
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 2: move in, I wasn't actually welcome, which is kind of

494
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: what we're seeing in this contract, you know, like this

495
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 2: contract is even the first contract was a lot for

496
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: someone that you know, supposedly our family. Yes, but then

497
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: to add all of these like cooking and.

498
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: Taking care of the bit. I'm sorry. No landlord in

499
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: their right mind is like, okay, so alo line on them.

500
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: You'll see how many times you need to babysit my toddler.

501
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: Maybe give me five hundred bucks off front and then

502
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: maybe I do it.

503
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Maybe that, But it's like Ope is already paying a lot. Yeah. No,

504
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: this is a real little ridiculous.

505
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: Well, although I was invited by them to move in,

506
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: I wasn't actually welcome. My brother in law is kind

507
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: of a whiny little kid and would go to my

508
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: sister and complain about things that I did not and

509
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: complain about things I did that he didn't like. Nothing serious,

510
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: mostly things like washing the dishes too loudly, parking too

511
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: close to the grass. Yes, my sister would come and

512
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: lecture me about being a good guest. A few other

513
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: things I want to state because I need to vent

514
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: so badly. My sister is a stay at home mom.

515
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: They have three kids and one on the way. Her

516
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: kids are in daycare from six am to seven pm

517
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: every day of the week since they were three months old.

518
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: My brother in law takes them in on his way

519
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: into work and picks them up after he has to

520
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: come home and has relaxed for a while. They usually

521
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: come home, eat dinner, take a bath, and go to bed.

522
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: So she's not a stay at home mom.

523
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: She just stays at home.

524
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, exactly, she stays at home. She's a stay

525
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: at home She's delegatedids. She's delegating. Yeah, she's delegating, outsourcing

526
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: her entire parenting. On Saturdays, twice a month, I watch

527
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: them all day while they are out doing random errands.

528
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: The other two Saturdays, their paternal grandparents watch them as

529
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: my parents love a state away. Sunday is the only

530
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: day they actually watched them.

531
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Dude, and they're and they're still trying to get ope

532
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: to watch them, already paying to the thousand. They have

533
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: completely just shucked their kids away. Dude, crazy.

534
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: I'm not saying stay at home parents are useless or anything,

535
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: but if you aren't doing anything all day but browsing Amazon,

536
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: Facebook and Instagram while someone else cares for your children,

537
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: don't call yourself a stay at home parent.

538
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

539
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: She does clean, make breakfast and give them babs, but

540
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: that is it. They both claim they have financial issues,

541
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: but eat out almost every meal.

542
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: She serves the same function as a we spa.

543
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: She just cleans. Oh yeah, yeah, she just run. She

544
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: runs a spa for her children. Yeah for two hours.

545
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the ways, we spas twenty four hours.

546
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, she's a strict strict on. She's a one

547
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: hour spa. Yeah.

548
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: Usually the two dinners I make weekly are the only

549
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: homemade meal, as breakfast is usually something frozen tossed in

550
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: the toaster. They eat out way more than people with

551
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: financial issues should. They have four vehicles too, mini vans,

552
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: an suv, and a sports car exclusively for my brother

553
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: in law. They have a three car garage and a

554
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: huge driveway. But I'm not allowed to park in the driveway.

555
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: I have to park on the street a foot from

556
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: the curb, away from the driveway, mailbox, storm drain and flowerbeds.

557
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: I park almost in front of their neighbor's house. I'm sorry,

558
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: I'm getting off track.

559
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. I would be I would be

560
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: I would be piste. Wow, Oh my goodness, worst outup ever. Anyway,

561
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: About a year ago.

562
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: My sister and brother in law came to me and

563
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: asked if they could use my dining room table because

564
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: theirs was gouge and had to be repaired. I agreed,

565
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: better than just sitting in a storage unit, I thought.

566
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: While we were getting the table, they saw my couch

567
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: and asked if they could use that in their living

568
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: room because it was bigger. I agreed as well, I

569
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: see you, but I see you in the chat. You

570
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: know where the scar we go. And as frustrating as

571
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: it was living with these clowns, I wasn't rushing to leave.

572
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: I was saving up money, paying off student loans, and

573
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: getting my divorce finalized.

574
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Well.

575
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: In August of twenty nineteen, everything blew up. I first

576
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: learned that their mortgage payment was twenty one hundred a month.

577
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: Op is paying their mortgage. Honeybe eighty five says she

578
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have kids. Yes, tom agotcha.

579
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: That's so funny, that's amazing, that's so funny. I was

580
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: told I was paying half the mortgage. When I confronted

581
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: them about this, I was somehow blamed for the expenses

582
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: they have for the kids. They attempted to guilt trip

583
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: me into continuing to pay fourteen hundred dollars for a

584
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: single room. I told them I agreed to half, so

585
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: I would pay half next month. They threw a fit

586
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: and said they needed me to pay fourteen hundred dollars,

587
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: otherwise they would lose the house. I wrote them a

588
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: check the following month for ten fifty. I also asked

589
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: to see the utility bills before I paid. They became

590
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: angry and refuse. Yeah, they're definitely five hundred dollars for utilities.

591
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Seems like a lot.

592
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: That's crazy, they said. I would steal their information and

593
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: take advantage to them. I feel like someone else's they

594
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: can advantage someone else. I pointed out that in our relationship,

595
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: they're the only ones known for taking advantage of the other.

596
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: They are very reluctant to show me the utility bills

597
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: for the previous month. I paid for all of them,

598
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 2: even though I was told I was only paying half.

599
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: I was told they were built monthly for trash and water,

600
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: when they were actually built bi monthly. After all of this,

601
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: I began looking for a new place and realized that

602
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: I could afford a house on my own. I worked

603
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: for the realtor and found a nice three bed, two

604
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: bath in a great neighborhood closer to my work. I

605
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 2: closed on the house the second week of December and

606
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: moved in a couple of weeks. I just don't understand

607
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: how OPI didn't see that solution earlier.

608
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to hate and we we haven't

609
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: gotten the reason yet, And I'm like, why would we

610
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: like three bedroom open now has three bedrooms themselves closer

611
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: to work.

612
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: It's it's not like, you know, you know, fourteen hundred

613
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: dollars is a decent deal, but it's not like amazing.

614
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: It's like maybe a good deal for somewhere like Santa Monica, yeah,

615
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: but for you know, like other places like.

616
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know people who rent, like rent whole houses

617
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: for two grand. Yeah, in Florida. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

618
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like you could easily like find

619
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: something that, yeah, that would work. But I told my

620
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: sister and brother in law when I made an offer

621
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: and then again when I closed, that I was moving out,

622
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: and they've asked me to leave my bed, dining room table,

623
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 2: and couch for them. I told them no, but they

624
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: are insisting that I should do it.

625
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: As a thank you.

626
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: I mentioned the fact that they have been taking money

627
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: from me left and right, and that not taking them

628
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: to court was my thank you, but they are still insisting.

629
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: They are also expecting me to still watch their kids

630
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: twice a month. Crazy, dude. I love my niece and

631
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: nephews to death, despite their parents basically ditching them every day.

632
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: They're very sweet, playful, and smart kids, but I want

633
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: to stay far away from their parents as possible for

634
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: a good long while. Well, I'm off to work today

635
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: visiting my friend, and I got a text from my

636
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: sister asking if I was going to pay rent for February.

637
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: I told her I would be gone by then, so

638
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: absolutely not good. She asked again if I would leave

639
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: by furniture. I said no, and she told me they

640
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: had sold their couch and table and didn't have the

641
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: money to buy new ones.

642
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: Then I see one of your five thousand cars. Yeah yes,

643
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

644
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 2: Then I saw a post on Facebook from a day

645
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 2: ago where my sister announced they were going to Disney

646
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 2: World for the second time in six months.

647
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: Is so expensive? So expensive? Oh? These people give me

648
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: a migraine. And the comments of this post, get this,

649
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Here we go.

650
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: She jokes to a friend who asked how they can

651
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: afford this all, and she said all she needs is

652
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: a stupid roommate with money to burn.

653
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, I wow. I want to see

654
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: you now. Wow. That, Oh, it's crazy.

655
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: Then when the same friend asks if I'm her sister,

656
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: she says she's very slow, she has no idea how

657
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 2: much things cost. She'll pay anything. I screenshoted this, send

658
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: it to her. It says she's read the text, but

659
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: she hasn't responded. However, she's posted a cryptic update a

660
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: few minutes later that says Sam here og host. We're

661
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: going to get back to these stories, but here's three

662
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: minutes fads from our sponsors. First, everyone who knows me

663
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 2: knows that family is very important to me. I bend

664
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: over backwards to make their life more enrich and easier.

665
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: I basically gave them their success. I pulled them away

666
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: from death, jumped in front of bullets for them, and

667
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: shielded them from the harsh real world. And they show

668
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: no gratitude. Don't let people into your life who are

669
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 2: just going to use you and throw your failures in

670
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: your face. It's unfortunate that some of these people are blood.

671
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: After years of caring for you and placing you on

672
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: a pedestal, I'm done.

673
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: You broke me. Crime a river, Cry me a freaking river? Like?

674
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: What is this.

675
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: Cryptic thing like? Where she's the victim for making fun

676
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: of OP.

677
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: It's like that because that because that message was coming

678
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: from the sister. Yeah. Yeah, So it's like it's it's

679
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: just a classic case of like they're trying to as

680
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: soon as they can't manipulate and like get all these

681
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: things from you, they're gonna try to They're gonna create

682
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: some story to become a victim and.

683
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, blah blah blah blah blah. I need advice on

684
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: how to handle this because I am very emotional right now.

685
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: I would love to do a giant expose on them

686
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: and tag all their friends and family, showing how fake

687
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: and greedy they are, as they both make themselves look

688
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: extremely different on their social media profiles. But I know

689
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: I need to be an adult. Is there any way

690
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: I can destroy them without being petty and childish? Also,

691
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: to state for reference, they ate my food regularly and

692
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: shopped my groceries like it was theirs. They also used

693
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: my toiletries and took things like my pillows and blankets

694
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: from my room. Also, I rode with them to a

695
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 2: movie one single time, a ten minute drive from their house,

696
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 2: and they wanted me to pay for a tank of

697
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: gas as well as snacks for them and their kids.

698
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: The movies, I paid for my own ticket, they insisted

699
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 2: I ride with them. They also asked for my tax

700
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 2: turn last year. I never got a clear answer why.

701
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: It was hardly anything, but they asked for it. I

702
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: didn't give it to them. Also, I received no assistance

703
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 2: from them besides them allowing me to stay at the house.

704
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: Literally nothing else. By the way, if you want assistance

705
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: from us, you should listen to full episodes of stories

706
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: just like this. Go to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your

707
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: favorite podcast app and search. Okay, storytime, there's another relevant update.

708
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: But man, are these people taking advantage of OPI to.

709
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: The billionth degree. Yeah, and I'm glad at least Opie's

710
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: out of it and like or getting out of it.

711
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, getting Yeah, it feels like there's still

712
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: drama there, but at least yeah, getting out of the house.

713
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's important. That's important. Should OPI do anything

714
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: with all this? I yeah, I mean try to like

715
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: Sue or something, you know, big picture, you know, the

716
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: best revenge is just like living a happy life and

717
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: getting and enjoying your three bedroom, two bath house closer

718
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: to with your in your shorter commute, and like all

719
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: all of these things having friends over, like do I

720
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: would go crazy on all of the rules they said

721
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: you couldn't do, agreed, I mean honestly, especially depending on

722
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: the financial situation, you know, On one hand, I'm tempted

723
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: to just be like, just drop it and move on

724
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: with your life. On the other hand, I'm like, how

725
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: much money was this? To ope? It seems like if

726
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: the the tax return wasn't that much, that's a lot

727
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: really meaning that's a lot, yeah, and thousands of dollars potentially. Yeah.

728
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: So and also it would kind of like be a

729
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: two fer of like, you know, one getting back thousands

730
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: of dollars, which you would you know, need, and two

731
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, showing them like, hey, they

732
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: can't get away with it. You can't like get because

733
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep doing that to other people. Do so

734
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: maybe maybe look into it, see what that process looks like.

735
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: Well, we got a little bit more so edits regarding

736
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: the furniture. What if I buy a brand new couch

737
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: and table for them? Our thinking is this, it will

738
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 2: solve the furniture problem and make me look like a saint.

739
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: This coming Sunday, they're going to an event at the recplex.

740
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: I'll have the couch and table moved out and the

741
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: new ones moved in. I'll take pictures of them and

742
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: post them on Facebook, tagging my sister and brother in

743
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: law and post something like this, thank you for letting

744
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: me stay at your house. Now let me help you

745
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: as you help me. I know you're struggling financially, so

746
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: I bought you a new table and couch to replace

747
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: my table and couch. When I take them with me,

748
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: I hope this table and couch fully reflect how grateful

749
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: I am that you allowed me to stay in your

750
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: home while I recuperated, or something like that.

751
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: Forgive me. I am not a writer thoughts. So wait,

752
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: he's buying them a new what I don't get that.

753
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, I don't think.

754
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: And also it feels like maybe there's like some like

755
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 2: you know, petty revenge or something there.

756
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if it's worth it. Yeah,

757
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: I think probably the best thing is just move on

758
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: and get out. Yeah, in always living that contacted everything

759
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: as soon as possible, they're they're just leeching.

760
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't wear it, and I I don't know.

761
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know about this, this this plan

762
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: to get ye to get stuff.

763
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: But that's where that story ends. That is true. My

764
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: mother in law snuckins at our home and then called

765
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: the authorities on us. Oh she's a burglar who's calling

766
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: the cops on you? Wow? Hello? So I will try

767
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: to make this as short as possible. I'm a big

768
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: confused as to how I should continue this relationship. First

769
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: of all, I'm male, good to know nice by My

770
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: wife is fifty to fifty split between having her head

771
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: deep up her brother's butt and not wanting to have

772
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: anything to do with her. It's complicated by the way

773
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: this comes from deleted and if you want to submit

774
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: your own stories, go to the r slash. Okay, storytime

775
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: separate it. So, my relationship with my mother in law

776
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: was always awkward. She didn't want her precious daughter to

777
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: leave home and build her own family, so she's always

778
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: trying to shackle my wife as close to her as possible,

779
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: and you every possible trick upper sleeve to achieve exactly that. Yeah,

780
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: she sounds manipulation. Now, Oh yes, we've got we've we've

781
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: got our usual host of characters. Here from fake illnesses

782
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: to emotional stirrups uh to last second unnoticed vacations. We

783
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: had to come on. That's that's the whole, the whole

784
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: gang's here.

785
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: We love that gang. Our manipulations. I know, it's like

786
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: the Brady Bunch. Yeah, but of manipulation, oh god.

787
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Fake illness, surprise vacation. And my wife until now had

788
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: never grasped that what her mother was doing was wrong.

789
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: So around six months ago, mother in law and father

790
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: in law bought a new house, a smaller one as

791
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: they didn't need all that space at their old home.

792
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: At first, I personally wasn't interested in that house, but

793
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: somehow my mother in law convinced my wife to convince

794
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: me to buy the house from them so we could

795
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: buy cheap and live with one less worry. So I

796
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: guess it was like buying the mother in law's house,

797
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: but also at a deal. But I'm I'm guessing ultimately

798
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: not the best option. But maybe it just deeper house. Oh,

799
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, maybe we'll see. I was completely against

800
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: the purchase of the house. Okay, so probably not that great.

801
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: It was incredibly close to their new home thirty minutes

802
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: walking distance, and the amount they asked for four hundred

803
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars was not justified for the state

804
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: that the house was in. Long story short, my wife

805
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: got extremely upset with me for not wanting the house,

806
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: and I just gave up and said, yes.

807
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: That is a okay. I mean, a house is such

808
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 2: a huge purchase. You should not just give in. That

809
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: should be a heck yes from both people.

810
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, my goodness. So yay we own a house now.

811
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: Oh god, I can feel the enthusiasm from the pament

812
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: is dripping from this post. For context, We got the keys, documents,

813
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: and everything is on paper. Nothing is in their name anymore.

814
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: It's all us now, okay. And for the past few

815
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: months of a moving in, renovating a bit here and there,

816
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: all seemed well. They never came to visit. We always

817
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: visited them, and the house was fine after some work.

818
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: Still a lot to fix, though, But I noticed a

819
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: few things. Whenever we were gone for more than eight

820
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: plus hours or a few days and then returned home,

821
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: it seemed like someone had been inside. Oh little gremlins

822
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: running about. Yeah, I see, yeah, I see you, I

823
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: see Yeah. It's such a big ic it was is

824
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: this is my house. I raised the kids in this house.

825
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: I raised you in this house. Oh my goodness. Well,

826
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't care if you paid four hundred thousand dollars

827
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: for Yeah, yeah, I paid mine half a million dollars, mom,

828
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: So get out of my house. I'd get off my wall,

829
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, yeah, Oh I raised you and

830
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: that's worth a million dollars. So yeah, you owe me

831
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: you yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another five hundred grand

832
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: give it me now, I could. I've sworn that some

833
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: of my stuff was moved a few times. It smelled

834
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: like gas, as if someone had left something running in

835
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: the kitchen, and the sink in one of the bathrooms

836
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: was wet, even though I wipe it dry after using it. Okay, weird, flex,

837
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: but okay. Even my wife found it odd, and after

838
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: the gas incident, she was alarmed, of course, so I

839
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: figured mother in law probably had a key still in

840
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: her possession that we didn't know about. I was snooping around.

841
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: I bought two cheap cameras and installed them so I

842
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: could see the entrance. That's very smart. Smart in the

843
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: living room, as those two areas are connected.

844
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: I can't wait for this person to be caught. I

845
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: can't wait. I mean so delicious.

846
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: As someone suggested on here, I also changed out the

847
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 1: locks by buying completely new secure doors and having them replaced,

848
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: as well as adding new window security since all of

849
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: those were old. Two days after everything was changed, I

850
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: got a text from mother in law saying that I

851
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: was an evil person trying to destroy everything she loves.

852
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 2: What the keeping random strangers, random strange people, random strange

853
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: family out of my house is a bad idea.

854
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: You destroy with your cameras and your fancy locks. How

855
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: dare you have privacy in the home you paid half

856
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: a million dollars far? How dare you? And that she

857
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: wants the house back from us because she isn't tolerating

858
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: how we're treating her old property. Yeah, just give it back.

859
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm locking it. That's allowed. Nope, nope, nope, And let

860
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: me keep the five hundred k. Get it back to

861
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: me right now. It's fine. What are you doing? Ridiculous?

862
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 2: You're disrespecting me, disrespecting my Dwayne Hey's John Og host.

863
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to the stories, but a quick

864
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: three minute break of ads from our sponsors. Back to

865
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 1: the story. I asked her where this was coming from.

866
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, and her answer was, you're destroying

867
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: our old home. The door was a precious memento and

868
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have changed it without asking me first. The door,

869
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: really it's a lock. He paid you half a million

870
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: dollars for it. My god. I told her that the

871
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: house was no longer hers and we could do whatever

872
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: we wanted. It's point blank period. I didn't hear back

873
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: from her until now she now wants her house back

874
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: because apparently we're not fitch to be homeowners. She's offering

875
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: to give us back four hundred and thirty out of

876
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: the four hundred and fifty thousand dollars since they already

877
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: spent twenty grand and wants everything back. I told her

878
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: to eat grass, yep, and that the home is now ours. Yep.

879
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: There we go, you OPI was like strong armed into

880
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: buying the stupid thing in the first place, and now

881
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: you want to take a loss for twenty grant. No, no,

882
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: and they've been renovating it and like, yeah, they just

883
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: putting money, so oh, it doesn't make any sense. Absolutely not.

884
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: I already I already had the police at my door,

885
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: all right, so now wall wait, Mom called the police, Yes,

886
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: So here's what happened, right quick TLDR. Just to clear

887
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: it up, right, Opie's mother in law is just kind

888
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: of sucks. Her mother in law and the daughter Opie's

889
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: Opie's wife strong armed him into buying their old house

890
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: for four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He changes the locks,

891
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: get security camera. She's freaking out, saying, oh, you need

892
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: to let me in. You need to stop changing the

893
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: house now. The not only have the police have been

894
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: called on op for his you know, atrocities, for his crimes,

895
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: they are now at his doorstep, presumably potentially ready to arrest.

896
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I hate it for buying a home, for living it,

897
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: for changing the locks.

898
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, for changing the locks on the home I legally own.

899
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: Arrest me.

900
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 2: I hate that people can call the police on you, right,

901
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 2: like you can just do that. Where's the where's the

902
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 2: where's the checks and balance process?

903
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: Oh? My god? Okay, so can you imagine what it

904
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: looks like for me to explain that this house was

905
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: legally mine? They they effing laughed. God. And the worst part,

906
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: my wife says, to just put the old door back in.

907
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: The wife is still siding with the moll.

908
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 2: How are you rocking with Mama after all this, honestly, maybe,

909
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 2: like the wife is like, hey, like it's not worth

910
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 2: all of the craziness. We can just change a lot,

911
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: but have this old memento door just to make mom happy. Maybe,

912
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 2: But I'm like it, there's a point where you just

913
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: you gotta say no.

914
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta be like yo, mom, if you don't

915
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: stop going bananas, I'm gonna have to put you in

916
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: time out.

917
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm gonna have to put you into iPhone lock

918
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: screen method. Holy moly.

919
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: So I don't get my mother in law that I'm

920
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: okay with, but I don't get how my wife can

921
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: be so deep in her bs. If it were up

922
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: to me, I would go no contact and leave it

923
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: at that. But my wife is just glued to her.

924
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: I can't don't even enjoy our marriage anymore. Wow, it

925
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like her and me. It feels like her

926
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: me and her bat crap crazy mother. I think that

927
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: if you feel like that, you should tell your wife

928
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: that one thousand percent. Because think about this, like and again,

929
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: Opie shouldn't have gone along with it. But it's like

930
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: Opie bought this house. He didn't want to because of

931
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: all the feeling pressure, feeling pressure, which is not fair.

932
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: Shouldn't it feel that pressure? Father in law is alright,

933
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: just a normal person most of the time fed up

934
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: with mother in law's BS two, but he can't be

935
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: bothered to actually hold her back. Yep, bro, he's probably

936
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: got his hands full of just dealing. He seems like

937
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: a rottweiler. Oh my god, yeah, biting at the freaking bit. Yeah.

938
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: So it's all you can do just to not get

939
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: bit yourself, let alone help prevent it from body. Oh,

940
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm stressed, angry and really disappointed. Advice please, and we

941
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 1: have an update. But what's I think?

942
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: I think advice is, uh, talk to your wife about

943
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: what you're feeling and that you feel like you're kind

944
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: of being displaced in your own marriage by her mother. Yes,

945
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 2: and I think just say that's what you're feeling, Say

946
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 2: how you're feeling, see how she responds. If there's no

947
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 2: action taken from that, then you might need to have

948
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: a harder conversation where like, hey, like I still feel

949
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 2: like this is not addressed and I don't know if

950
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: this is a relationship that I want to be. I

951
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 2: feel like you can stare a step towards leaving the

952
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: relationship if it continues. But if your wife doesn't make

953
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: some changes in terms of where her I guess where

954
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: her time and affection are. I don't know if this

955
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 2: relationship can last.

956
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: I agree, I think it's too much. But we got

957
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: an update, so we're gonna see what happen. We'renna see

958
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: if the relationship lasts. So quite a lot happened since yesterday.

959
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: I stopped answering most comments as I was taking in

960
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: everyone's advice, thoughts, and experiences. First some info again. Some

961
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: people are concerned that dropping off the door would mean

962
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: she would copy the keys. Not possible, as both the

963
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: door and locks replaced with high security keys. I know

964
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: a locksmith could still duplicate them, but that would take

965
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 1: some time. Some are worried about birth control. Don't worry.

966
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: I can't even think of spicy sleep by right now.

967
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. What I'm guessing like baby trapping? Like

968
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: is the mother ohways, the mother in law, like you know,

969
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: hampering with birth control like baby I don't even know,

970
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: trying to get a grand kid. Yeah, I mean, I

971
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past her.

972
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 2: She feels like going into the house and poking holes

973
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 2: in the holes.

974
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: We've seen this before. We've seen this before it happened.

975
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: We've seen some crazy mother in laws, ladies and gentlemen.

976
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: Concerning security, No, I did not catch my mother in

977
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: law on camera. I installed them in conjunction with changing

978
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: the doors and locks, and I don't see a point

979
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,439
Speaker 1: in spending money on more cameras, video doorbells, et cetera.

980
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Some asked if mother in law had more children. Nope,

981
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: single child, So it's just the wife. I paid the

982
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: entire four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Oh okay, my

983
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: wife didn't pay for the house renovations. Nothing. She bounces

984
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 1: from one job to another, trying to find something fitting.

985
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: This has always been the case. I don't mind supporting her,

986
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: but I feel a bit leashed off sometimes I.

987
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 2: Think we're revealing like more and more problems in this relationship.

988
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the fact that op and look, it's

989
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: totally fine if there's a person in a relationship that

990
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: wants to, you know, financially provide for their partner as

991
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: like part of their partnership, absolutely fine. Great Mauzele talk

992
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: more Poetriia. But I don't know, just like generally like

993
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,959
Speaker 1: imagining just like all of this waits on a pee

994
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: and they strong armed him to.

995
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: Buy this house. Yeah feels so dicky. It feels really

996
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 2: yeah great. I feel like he's being he's being taken

997
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 2: advantage of, so taking advantage of it, and I feel

998
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 2: like taking advantage of in union between wife and mom.

999
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: I feel like wife and mom are like, let's like

1000
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: suck this guy dry and on the way we want.

1001
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: I hate it. Oh God, But we have the actual

1002
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: update now. So that was just a background context. Okay.

1003
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: I call father in law and asked him if he

1004
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: would beat me for coffee because I wanted to talk

1005
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: bless him. He did exactly that. We sat down. I

1006
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: asked him to plase, just listen and not interrupt. I

1007
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: must have talked for close to two hours. That man

1008
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 1: sipped his coffee, listened side, and said the following. In short,

1009
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: mother in law's plan was to sell us the house,

1010
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: rebuy it, make us literally homeless, so he couldn't say

1011
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: no to her offer and we would end up living

1012
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: with her and father in law. What oh my god.

1013
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: Father in law did try to hold mother in law back,

1014
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: but failed. He was extremely upset about the police call.

1015
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: Upset about only offering four hundred and thirty k back,

1016
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: and upset in general that she's going this far to

1017
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: shackle her daughter. She says, remember the beginning, there was

1018
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: a bit about like, oh, she didn't want her daughter

1019
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: away from her, so I think maybe this is one

1020
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: of her like crazy obsessions. He's like, ah, my, not her,

1021
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: or you're taking her away? I do not like at all.

1022
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: Put her back in her child at home. Then I'm

1023
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: gonna have the home and I'm gonna take care of her.

1024
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: Ough his offer and advice. Take mother in law's four

1025
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty k offer. He will set up a

1026
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: legally binding contract under under father in law and myself personally,

1027
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: the two of us, and he will give me the

1028
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: twenty k plus what I put into renovations, et cetera,

1029
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: without mother in law knowing, and that would bring me

1030
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: close to five hundred thousand dollars. Okay, He told me

1031
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: to pack it up and just leave. After a stern

1032
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: talk with my wife. He said she won't wake up

1033
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: as long as one of us is in close proximity.

1034
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: Is he saying to divorce his daughter? I think so?

1035
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: Whoa man is giving it to him straight. My man

1036
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: put the the and unobjective or I feel like he's

1037
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: just been so beaten down by being married to this

1038
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: crazy Woman's like, kid, Webb, it tell you to it straight.

1039
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 2: I've been through this crap for twenty gooddamn years.

1040
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to see another person go through it.

1041
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, dude, I mean salute. He looks sad

1042
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: and upset. We hugged at the end, and he told

1043
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: me not to be too saddened by all of this.

1044
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes we need to make hard decisions, and he said

1045
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: I would regret it if I didn't do this. Wow.

1046
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: There was more talk, obviously, but this is the short

1047
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: and interesting part. Back home, I talk with my wife

1048
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: in a more calm tone and manner. She didn't see

1049
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: any evil from her mother, said her mother needs a

1050
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: lot of attention and love like most elderly ladies, and

1051
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: that often she sounds meaner than she actually is, but

1052
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: only wants the best for us us. No, she wants

1053
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: the best for her and her own intentions. Only we

1054
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: argue back and forth. My wife is one hundred percent

1055
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: behind her mother. Yikes, there's your answer, Yeah, there's your answer.

1056
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1057
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 2: This is not a relationship between them. It's like mom

1058
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: and mom and your wife, right and you over there.

1059
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: But you want some icing on the cake, Sam, what's

1060
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: the icing? She said, I should get some therapy to

1061
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: get out of this obsession I have demonizing her mother. Oh,

1062
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: please get out of here. Oh he needs some therapy.

1063
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: Re ridiculous. That makes me so bad, it makes me mad, ridiculous.

1064
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 2: I stood up and left good. I slept at a

1065
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: friends that night. I offered couples and individual counseling. It

1066
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 2: was denied.

1067
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: Apparently I'm the only one that needs special attention, as

1068
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: she called it. And I guess that's exactly what I need,

1069
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:25,040
