1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sam. This is John the og story

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Time podcast host.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and we got some great stories coming up.

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: But before that, we get a teeny two minute break

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: from the sponsors that keep this show propped up like

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: a little house.

7
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 3: Oh you, I discovered my wife's conversation with the coworker

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 3: and they're making fun of me.

9
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's the worst.

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 3: A few days ago, I, thirty three male, noticed my

11
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: wife thirty one female, deleting a text thread, which is

12
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: something she has never done. I decided to check your

13
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: laptop as texts go through there, and I was shocked

14
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 3: to find that she was having spicy, explicit conversations with

15
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: a coworker who also happens to be married and just

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 3: had a child a few months ago. Oooh no, dang.

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: By the way, this comes from Throway zero three, seven

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: thirty nine, two oh nine, And if you want to

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: smit your own stories, go to the arslash Okay, Storytime

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: severed it. I'm Sophia, I'm Riley, I'm Keon, and we're

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: here to give good advice. Goofley, But we don't have

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: all the answers. We only know what we do, So

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: let us know what you would do in the com

24
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: andop says for context, we have been together for about

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: thirteen years and married for four. We both work in

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: demanding jobs and healthcare. Like any couple, we have had

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: plenty of ups and downs. The last couple of years

28
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: have really been a rut. It has felt like we

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: are constantly more irritable with each other. Our intimacy has

30
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: been nearly gone for a while now. However, we both

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: felt this may be part of depression and hormonal issues

32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: that we are having and working on. Another issue that

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: bothers me is that for the entirety of a relationship,

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: she has made jabs at how men always cheat and

35
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: that I will someday cheat on her.

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: She just wants it to happen.

37
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: That I'm sorry that the whole relationship, she's been saying that,

38
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: because that's a giant replug.

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna cheat on me. No, if you say things

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: to put them out there, what's gonna happen, Sophia.

41
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: They make them come true.

42
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Kept saying that. But she never said I'm gonna cheat

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: on you.

44
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: She forgot that part.

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: Her previous relationship before me ended with her boyfriend living

46
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: a complete second life with a different woman.

47
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, those are the best ones ready too.

48
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: By the way, she used.

49
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: To go through my phone when she felt I was

50
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: texting a particular femail too much. Given all that, this

51
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: current situation just enrages me. The coworker of hers has

52
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: always been a close friend for the last three years.

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: It's been obvious in the past that he had a

54
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: crush on my wife, but I have never seen any

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: evidence that it was reciprocated. He has sent suggestive texts

56
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: in the past and she had shut it down, insisting

57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: he likes to get a rise out of people.

58
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, no, no, no, And that's.

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: What I'm saying. Hey, you should probably like go to

60
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: hr IF.

61
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so next time I want to, you know, have

62
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: some spicy related talks with the coworker, I just say,

63
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: she's the excuse, Well did you get the rise of here?

64
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: They just look to get a rise though.

65
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: What didn't he just have a kid too?

66
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

67
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's got a few I would be.

68
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: I want to be calling that out. In the last

69
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: few days, I have seen texts of two of them

70
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: complaining about their spicy sleep live talking about how much

71
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: they want to have spicy sleep with each other. No

72
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: sending nudes. Oh. He even has sent an explicit photo

73
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: with part of his wife's face in it, claiming he

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: wishes it was my wife.

75
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, wild they are wrong, Oh my goodness.

76
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: She just likes the thrill, oh pie. She just wants

77
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: to thrill, and that's why she's so bored with you.

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: There has been a lot of complaining about me and

79
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: about his partner. Now we do not spicily gratify them. Yeah,

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: his partner who just had a baby. She's been trying

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: to stay on top of deleting threads, but often does

82
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: not think to delete the stuff from bedtime to overnight.

83
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: I am fairly confident nothing physical has happened, Yet part

84
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: of me feels guilty for this. I have not been

85
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: a perfect husband by any means. I've always been the

86
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: one to do all the tours at home, care for

87
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: the pats, cook do our laundry, et cetera. I will admit, though,

88
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: that I am not the most emotionally available husband. I'm

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: just not a cuddler or an overly spicy person. I

90
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: understand this affair is her choice and not mine, but

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: I do feel like I pushed her into this, and

92
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: I feel the guilt of it. My problem is that

93
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: I do not know how to approach this. At first,

94
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: I was shocked and angry. Now I am numb and emotionless.

95
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: Part of me feels the writing was on the wall

96
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: for this marriage a while ago, and this is the

97
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: final blow. Our family lives are insanely intertwined, and we

98
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: literally share the same friend group. Yeah. I mean, it's

99
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: been thirteen years. I don't know if I should just

100
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: be trying to move out and figure things out, or

101
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: if I should just be getting a divorce. At this point,

102
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: I know I will be gas lit when I finally

103
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: confront her, and I don't even know how to confront her.

104
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: I also don't know if I should tell the other

105
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: guy's wife. Yes, I feel guilty given that they just

106
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: had a baby. You should tell her. HM. Reading this back,

107
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: I understand I probably look like an idiot for not

108
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: already having left, but I'm struggling. Any advice leave My

109
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: advice is leave hell that guy's wife, get your affairs

110
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: in order, get a lawyer, then leave. Edit. We do

111
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: not have kids, just pets. The relationship felt like it

112
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: was going south for a few years now, but this

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: was completely unexpected. I truly do not know if this

114
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: is something I can forgive and move past or not

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: at it to. Another big issue of mine is the

116
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: amount of disrespect thrown at me in those chats which

117
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: she laughed along at me washing our panties that he

118
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: got thoked, or making them dinner while he does stuff

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: to her. Though I think it was physical, I don't

120
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: know if that's something I'll get over. I'm a non confrontational,

121
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: pretty go with the flow guy, but these jokes are

122
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: pretty foul. Even if I get over the spicy text

123
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: and crap, it's hard to process how she can laugh

124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: along at stuff like that. That's like literally psycho behavior.

125
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she's with the person that you're making fun of.

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: Wait wait a second, Oh wait was this she with

127
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: someone that also lived a second life?

128
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, she's has a second life. Now she is

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: being with a person who now like she's there that

130
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: guy's second life because he has a kid and his wife. Uh,

131
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: and she's going to complain about someone doing that term

132
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: as bad as the person that did it to you.

133
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: It's not gonna last. Whenever you break it, it's not

134
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna last.

135
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: Comments Comment one. Most people commenting seem to think all

136
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: the blame falls on your wife. I think you're wise

137
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: to recognize the ways you have also failed in your marriage.

138
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: It takes two for a marriage to disintegrate. I think

139
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: the best way to determine if your marriage can be

140
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: saved it can't be, is to talk to your wife

141
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: about what you read and state the things you wrote

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: here about the ways you wish you had behaved differently. Tella,

143
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: you love and value her and want to work on

144
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: improving things. The just couple's therapy. I don't think it

145
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 3: can be saved. I don't think I could ever forget

146
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: the text that she.

147
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Sent if she wanted to save it. Yeah she would

148
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: have which, yeah she would have talked.

149
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: A while ago.

150
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: Not anymore. We're done.

151
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: And again I think all of those past red flags,

152
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: even more so, kind of showed to me that this

153
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: cannot be saved because it isn't just this. It's the

154
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: well least you don't have kids, man, at least, if

155
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: she really loves you, she'll come around. Opie says. A

156
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 3: big issue of mine is the amount of disrespect thrown

157
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: at me in those chats that she laughed along at

158
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: me doing stuff for her. I don't know if that's

159
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: something I'll ever get over. But there is an update

160
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: one week later.

161
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I cannot see a world with where she comes back.

162
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really open. He like gets it all together

163
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: and divorces her.

164
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: The fact that she did all of that manipulated you

165
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: at the very beginning of your relationship of like, yeah,

166
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: like I think you're gonna cheat on me. I think

167
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: you're gona cheat on me. And then also just the

168
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: cherry on top is she's making funny you while she's

169
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: cheating on you.

170
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the audacity, it's weird.

171
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: I think this is the time where you finally find

172
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: yourself op and the cowboy up. You get a spine

173
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: and you know what, you just get out there, get.

174
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is an update one week later. I ended

175
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: up having the confrontation early last week. It wasn't exactly

176
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: when I had planned it, but she knew something was up,

177
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: as I had emotionally checked out over the few days

178
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: leading up to it. Some background info I learned Slash

179
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: not provided in the original post. The texting had gone

180
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: about a week total. It turns out I had discovered

181
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: it pretty early on Wow. Although they had texted a

182
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: lot for the last few years, I've seen them in

183
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: the past, and there was nothing like this slash genuinely

184
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: just work related stuff. There was also a lot of

185
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: remarks about the intimacy between us fizzling out, indicating that

186
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: it may be a sign of the affair being physical.

187
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: Our intimacy has dried out for the last year or so.

188
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: We had chalked it up to stress, were cormones depression

189
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: Up to this point. In terms of the confrontation, there

190
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: was no arguing or fireworks. I laid out a lot

191
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: of grievances about the betrayal and the incredible disrespect I felt.

192
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: I also pointed out the rage I felt over the

193
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: hypocrisy of accusing all men of cheating for years. She

194
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: swore up and down that nothing physical occurred between them.

195
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh that makes it all good. We're all good then, Yeah.

196
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 3: It's fine. Oh, thank goodness.

197
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I think sending a photo is physical.

198
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I get it's naive of me to

199
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: believe it, but for various reasons I do. When I

200
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: initially threatened to tell the other guy's wife was when

201
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: the first wave of defensiveness. You can't. She begged me

202
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: not to ruin their family with a new baby and

203
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: focus on fixing our marriage instead, OPI wouldn't be ruining anything.

204
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: This guy already ruined his marriage and also is making

205
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: fun of his wife who just had a baby.

206
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: She's wanting to bring him back.

207
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: Is this I like how she said. Oh she said, Opie,

208
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: you don't ruin that marriage.

209
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: You can't do that. You can't ruin them.

210
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: Mus when both you and that guy.

211
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: You ruined your own marriages, y'all, I think she's throwing

212
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: a old Mary here.

213
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 3: So I was also told how the obs will definitely

214
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: tell all their coworkers and now both her home life

215
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: and work life will be ruined. Oh no, I heard,

216
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: Oh yes, they are both contractually bound to work together

217
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: for the next five years. Her reasoning was that I

218
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: have not made her feel desired like a woman in

219
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 3: a long time, that she gave into hormones got up

220
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: as he was saying things that made her feel craved

221
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: multiple times. I did feel like the situation was minimized.

222
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: Statements such as nothing physical happened, it was just spicy

223
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: chexting have not sat well with me. I also felt

224
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: like I was being blamed for this. To clarify, we

225
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 3: have talked in the past about trying to be more

226
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: romantic and stuff like that. I still feel like that

227
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: does not mean doing this crap is acceptable. It isn't.

228
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: I admitted plenty of my shortcomings during the confrontation, but

229
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: also reaffirmed that what she did was so insanely wrong. Oh.

230
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, maybe I made a couple of mistakes,

231
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: but you cheated on me. So boom who really.

232
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: When roasted stopped pointing out my shortcomings.

233
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: Oh. I also reached out to the guy. He was

234
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: clearly panicked and swore up and down nothing physical happened.

235
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: It was just a picture, man, is just a picture.

236
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: He begged me not to tell his wife and ruin

237
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: his life. Dude, you ruined your own life. All of

238
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: these cheaters who always beg the person who finds out

239
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: not to tell their family, their wives, et cetera. Are

240
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: so hypocritical.

241
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: Yep. It's that one word that defeats them all. M

242
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: accountability Yep.

243
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: Can't, can't, can't do it. He claimed his son is

244
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: his entire world, literally not, which I rebuffed by saying

245
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: all he did was complain about him to my wife.

246
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: Not long after he blocked me on everything and was

247
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 3: texting my wife to not let your roways been move

248
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: out and is he going to ruin my life? No love, dude,

249
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: you suck. I wish I could say that I took

250
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: my pets and stormed off and moved out like I

251
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: dreamt up in my head. Sadly, all I did was

252
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: move out of our room and demand time and space. Dude,

253
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: he's still texting your wife. She has been saying she

254
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: will respect that, but has been persistently approached me asking

255
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: to talk about our marriage for the last several days.

256
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Why does she not block? Oh my gosh.

257
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: A few days ago, she asked me if I would

258
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: be willing to see a marriage counselor with her. I

259
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: begrudgingly agreed. During our first session, I admitted I am

260
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: unsure if I want to save this marriage or not.

261
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: I was not a very active participant, as I was

262
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: quite checked out. It had only been like three days

263
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: since confrontation. We have more appointments coming. I have told

264
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 3: her that I am unsure I will get over this betrayal.

265
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: I have also told her it is clear we have

266
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 3: significant incompatibilities. She's been begging me to try as we

267
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: have been together for so long, so clearly something works

268
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: about us. Yeah, like complacency. Yeah, she has been trying

269
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: to be affectionate the last couple of days and getting

270
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: me to reciprocate, hold her hand, give her a kiss,

271
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: compliment her.

272
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: This is only going to last like two weeks.

273
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, until like the guy hits her up again. I

274
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: have not told the other guy's wife yet. You need to.

275
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: I have not decided if I will or won't. Morally,

276
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: I know the absolute correct decision is to tell her. However,

277
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: as mad as I am at my wife, I'm not

278
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: trying to just ruin her entire life. This poor woman

279
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 3: rop is completely in the dark about the fact that

280
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: she is being cheated on. While she is raising her

281
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: husband and HER's child.

282
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: She'll be living a lie that's ruining her life.

283
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: M M.

284
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: I am not out to get revenge on people. This

285
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: isn't revenge. It's literally just the right thing to do.

286
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: I grew up with enough confrontation and I'm definitely a

287
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: non confrontational person now. I've also not ruled out telling

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: her yet, but I'm just thinking on it. I apologize

289
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: for how much this post is just a rambling mess

290
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: on all Emotionally, I feel passed away. I have lost

291
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: all joy in my life and I'm just doing the emotions.

292
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: I do not know if I'll be able to get

293
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: over this to save the marriage, and I do not

294
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: know if I want to save the marriage. Our lives

295
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: are just so in twine that splitting will be such

296
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: a difficult and miserable process. My closest friend is the

297
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: only person who knows, and they have made it clear

298
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: that divorce would be their only choice if they were

299
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 3: in my shoes. I am lucky to have had their

300
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: support during this, but I do feel guilty for just

301
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: trauma dumping the situation. I know most replies will be

302
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: that I should have already started the divorce process, and

303
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: I wish it was that easy. I will value advice,

304
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: and I know quite a few people had asked for updates.

305
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: I definitely missed a lot of info and will try

306
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: to reply as I can. Thank you. What so there

307
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: is an edit for clarification. Yes, I have a large

308
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: chunk of these texts documented and saved.

309
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Okay, good.

310
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: I do not know if I will ever get over this.

311
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: When I told her that I don't know if I'll

312
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: ever get past this, she told me she now she

313
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: knows that I hold grudges against people, Doude, Well, this

314
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: is not a grudge. She's manipulating you, referencing my poor

315
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: relationship with my parents these days. I definitely feel like

316
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: there's been minimizing of the situationuation, but she frames it

317
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: as trying to move forward and learn from the situation.

318
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Dude, she's just using all this therapy. It's hard to

319
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: get out of it.

320
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Two, I also just learned that he texted her

321
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: last night to complain about some work situation. To her.

322
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: I was told they were completely done speaking to each other,

323
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: but it turns out the only person getting blocked is

324
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: him blocking me after I confronted him, and there is

325
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: a second update. I mean, like, how how could we

326
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: possibly continue the relationship when she is still talking.

327
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: To Who's more annoying your op or Opie's wife, both

328
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: of them both. Who's who's more annoying?

329
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: I think the wife the guy. The guy's annoying the guy.

330
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: I think the wife is more annoying than op. Update two.

331
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: At my breaking point, Now you're there. It's took you

332
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: a long time to get there. Five days later, I

333
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: truly feel like I've hit my breaking point. I feel

334
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: completely numb, half the time, and the other half there

335
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: is a deep, raging self hatred. I despise who I

336
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: am and my life, my entire life I've I've been

337
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: told nothing but what my faults are perfectionist parents who

338
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: never once helped me build any pride, but only tore

339
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: down any accomplishments. I recently found out my partner of

340
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: fourteen years was having an affair with a coworker, and

341
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: I have been processing that as well, seeing all their

342
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: texts and or reasoning only validating all those thoughts about

343
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: how everything I touch or do is a failure. I

344
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: have almost no true, reliable friends. The worst part is

345
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: I have a large group of fair weather friends who

346
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: are around when times are great. If I confide in

347
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: someone how I'm feeling, I can just feel the disgust

348
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: and repulsion. I work in a fairly depressing field in medicine.

349
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: Oh no, it seems like you're not happy in any

350
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: parts of your life, and so we need.

351
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: To make a big change we do.

352
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: I get fulfillment from my job, but it's constant passing

353
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: or people passing away.

354
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: No.

355
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Wow, A not insignificant amount of my coworkers think my

356
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: specialties shouldn't even exist and that we just old Basian's

357
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: hand and listen to them cry. I find myself coming

358
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: home from world and just sleeping. I know I'm depressed.

359
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: I've always been depressed. I'm on antidepressants. I recently started therapy,

360
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: but I just feel done. I go to sleep every night.

361
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Who oh, he's in a very dark place.

362
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: Many my pets are probably the only thing keeping me

363
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: going at this point, because they rely on me to

364
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: be fed. Otherwise I have nothing. And there is an update.

365
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious.

366
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so he needs immediate therapy and also to get

367
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 3: out of this relationship honestly, maybe move, Maybe move, find.

368
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: A new job, start a new.

369
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: Start a hobby.

370
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, see that that could definitely we.

371
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: Start over, because I don't think you're happy in any

372
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: area of your life. Update three. I've received a lot

373
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: of messages asking about updates. For background, we have been

374
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: together for thirteen years and married for four no kids.

375
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: He does seem to be showing true remorse recently.

376
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: Don't Nope, Nope, those aren't. Those are crocodile tears.

377
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: She has been very open about how badly she messed

378
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: up and destroyed all our trust. I can't say whether

379
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: this remorse has moved me at all. I still feel

380
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: checked out. I've just been coming home from work and

381
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: sleeping the rest of the day. Tries to get me

382
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: to cuddle a rager, but honestly, I just feel so

383
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: empty at this point, it's just going through the motions.

384
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: I do actually feel bad about how I've been, but

385
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: this has just struck me so deeply. At this point,

386
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 3: she has broken off all contact, it seems, with the

387
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: other guy. She's blocked him on everything and avoids him

388
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: at work. According to her, I've told her that I'm

389
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: always going to have this bit of distrust in the

390
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 3: back of my mind. Now we have been continuing therapy,

391
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: but honestly, it still feels like it's her trying to

392
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: justify the circumstances that led to the affair. We have

393
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: clearly identified a lot of huge incompatibilities in our relationship.

394
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 3: She wants to fight to change and be stronger, and

395
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: I just don't even respond. Still, and there is an

396
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: update twelve days later.

397
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: Oh no, so I'm obie.

398
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 3: Last month has had me in amaraicter. I have continued

399
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: to feel like there's many, many moments of minimizing what happened,

400
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: and many moments of true remorse. I became paralyzed by

401
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: the stress and shut down. This week I made the

402
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: decision to move out. Yay, woo, you did it.

403
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: You did it.

404
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: I packed the essentials and booked a hotel. Her parents

405
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: paid a huge chunk of that house, so I'm not

406
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: asking her to leave. I've begun reflecting on everything, and

407
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: I see that our relationship has been trying to get

408
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: past some horrible incompatibilities. I finally have my answer that

409
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: divorce is the right offtion.

410
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: Okay, we're here now.

411
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 3: We are not happy together. You cheated and I'll never

412
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: get over that. She's begging not to, but I will

413
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 3: be telling her that I am done, and for the

414
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: affair partner's wife, I will tell her too. Update five

415
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 3: eleven days later from the previous updates.

416
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: Please please, please please please please tell me you are

417
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: somewhere else in a work field.

418
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: Please you're somewhere else. You're lying in the sun on

419
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 3: the sand, drinking mohidos. A lot of people messaged me,

420
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: and I appreciate the support. The last month has been

421
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: pretty gosh darn miserable, to say the least regarding telling

422
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: the other guys. Why if she knows?

423
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: Now?

424
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: Oh, I honestly thought she would just find out eventually.

425
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

426
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't really see that. I was smart. But

427
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: did you tell her?

428
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Turns out he was texting similarly with two other

429
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: nurses at the hospital and she caught him.

430
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Oh but she worked there, but you.

431
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 3: Didn't tell her? Yeah? She then found text messages from

432
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: my wife he had saved on his phone. We spoke briefly,

433
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: and I apologize for not telling her sooner, But yeah,

434
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: she knows. Regarding my marriage, every single day I waffled

435
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: between divorce or not.

436
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: Why waffling needs to go down the divorce route.

437
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: There are some days where it feels like she's being

438
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: accountable and some days where there are nasty arguments. She

439
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: still gets mad when I say cheating as nothing physical happened.

440
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: Start saying, you emotionally cheated on me.

441
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

442
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: If she keeps arguing about that, then you go, okay, fine,

443
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: you emotionally cheated on me?

444
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: Or good a dictionary? I don't know.

445
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: She still gets mad when I make it seem like

446
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: it's all her fault and I didn't contribute to it. Yesterday,

447
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 3: she told me that she should have after them, so

448
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: at least she would have gotten something out of it.

449
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's like she's blaming you for crashing

450
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: the car because the brakes weren't working, but she clearly

451
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: was driving the car off the cliff.

452
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Today she blew up on me for saying I'm

453
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: not being accountable for what I did to lead to

454
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: this happening. Yeah, not exactly the shining example of accountability shining. Yeah,

455
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: that's exactly my thought.

456
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't want a final thought.

457
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: I just want you to divorce your wife.

458
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: Your ex wife's the final thought.

459
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: Your ex at maker, your ex whoa Alma's got me?

460
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: Make her your eggs.

461
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: Please make your your eggs. Find a different life and

462
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: be the mysterious guy at the barroom.

463
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: Yes, go to the sun, Go dive into the.

464
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, a moha mint from your mouki.

465
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 3: She told a few of our friends and our family

466
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: a very half budded story which excluded the affair entirely,

467
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: and that blamed me almost exclusively. It's gotten to the

468
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: point where one person said it felt like a pr campaign.

469
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 3: She's shown her true colors. Whenever I tell her we

470
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: aren't going to recover, she shows a nasty and vile

471
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 3: she can get. I won't list the countless other examples anyways, Yeah,

472
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: I know plenty of people will feel like I'm being

473
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: a coward not having left already. I don't know why

474
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm having this stupid paralysis with it. I do feel

475
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: bad as our pets were devastated when I temporarily moved out.

476
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: I know that's not an excuse, but every stupid little

477
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: thing weighs on me. It's hard throwing away thirteen years

478
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: like this. But if any of my friends came to

479
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: me with this, I would recommend divorce.

480
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: That is, yes, look at that be like if your

481
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: friend came to you this.

482
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: Would you yeah? Would you tell them to accept that?

483
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

484
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: Or do you say, hey, hopefully I grow a pair

485
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: and just pull the band aid off soon. I appreciate

486
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: everyone's kind messages that I've got, And that is.

487
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: The what he hasn't actually done, don't you know, divorced,

488
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 4: We don't know.

489
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: Wow, he's in the pro I think.

490
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: He's I think he's getting there slowly, but.

491
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: That is tough getting there, that is really tough. And

492
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: that's the end of the story.

493
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 5: We're gonna read the next one.

494
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 3: My husband refused to cut off his coworker, so I'm

495
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: leaving him.

496
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: Cut off the coworker. Dude.

497
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: Me forty female and my husband forty seven male, have

498
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: been together for eleven and a half years, married for

499
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 3: four point five years, So here's my dilemma. Sorry for length.

500
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: We have been together for eleven and a half years,

501
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: married for four point five I have a twelve year

502
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: old twin boys from a previous relationship, and we have

503
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: a three year old girl together. By the way, this

504
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: comes from Horror Princess five to seven. And if you

505
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: want to smit your own stories, go to the r

506
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: slash Okay, storytime, separate it. I'm Sophia, I'm Riley, I'm

507
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 3: key On, and we're here to give good advice. Goofy.

508
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: But we don't have all the answers. We only know

509
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 3: what we do, so let us know what you would

510
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 3: do in the comments and op says my husband has

511
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 3: traveled for work for about nine years now. At first,

512
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: he had work colleagues that he would travel with gone

513
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: for a week at a time, so obviously he traveled

514
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: with both men and women. One woman in particular started

515
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: to become a problem. Within about four to five years,

516
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 3: of them working with her m It started that he

517
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 3: would bring her up in casual conversation all the time,

518
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: which I didn't really mind at first until it became

519
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: more frequent. Then, once I brought it up that it

520
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: made me uncomfortable. I had never had a problem with

521
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 3: her before, he stopped talking about her all together. Then

522
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: came when we would go on vacation, she would call.

523
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: She would call, you would press the accept button, and

524
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 3: before she had a chance to say anything, he would say,

525
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: the wife and the kids are here in the car,

526
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: which I thought was weird, but brushed it off. The

527
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: very first time she called, they talked for about twenty

528
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: to thirty minutes, and when they hung up, I asked

529
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: who that was. He says, Oh, it's x y Z

530
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 3: and then immediately goes to trash talking her. He's crazy,

531
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: Aga talks day match, gee dresses, wear, et cetera, which

532
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: to me was red flag number one. Yeah, he's like,

533
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: this woman sucks. Oh god, oh every time I think

534
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 3: of her, Oh, I just want to throw up.

535
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: Trying to unscent the trail.

536
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Then another time we were on vacation, same thing

537
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: with the wife and kids were in the car and

538
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 3: they proceeded to talk for over an hour while you

539
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: guys were in the car.

540
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: That's kind of weird. That happened to me once on

541
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: a road trip, like why are we calling people? Why

542
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: aren't we just hanging out?

543
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: Sam does it all the time in the car? Ye, Sam,

544
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 3: I have to be like Sam, I want to talk

545
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: to you Sometimes I don't mind because it's someone I

546
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: want to talk to you too. Fast forward, I found

547
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 3: out that they would stay in the same hotel. He

548
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: offered up this info and went out for dinner while

549
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: they traveled together. I found this out through the text

550
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 3: between them, which was fine at the time because I

551
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 3: trusted him. Then came the bad feeling like something was wrong.

552
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: So I went through his phone, seeing like some parts

553
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: of conversation were missing, but otherwise normal office manter and worked.

554
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 3: Sometime later, months and months, I get that bad feeling

555
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: again and go through his phone again.

556
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: I think there's though. Yeah, I feel like they wouldn't

557
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: say what they're doing. They just say work so much together.

558
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: If they're having hour long conversations while OPI's in the car, pretty.

559
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they work together. Why can't they just wait

560
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: for that? Maybe he does love her?

561
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he's in love with her, he just can't wait.

562
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 3: So originally he had two separate names, two separate numbers,

563
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 3: and two separate conversations in there. The next time I

564
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: checked it, one name and conversation was completely gone, and

565
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: the other conversation in collogue was at least seventy five

566
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: percent deleted. His excuse was that he deleted them so

567
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: that I could see any new messages coming through easier.

568
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: That was red flag number two.

569
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Oh boy.

570
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 3: More time passes and I bring it up again that

571
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: I don't like this woman and whatever they have going

572
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 3: on makes me uneasy. He proceeds to tell me again

573
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 3: that she's grazious, she's jokes a friend, and he's pretty

574
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: sure she's into women. Also, this time he gets super

575
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: defensive and storms off. So that was red flag number three.

576
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: Oh man, he's not doing a good job at cheating.

577
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: We could write a book on how to cheat.

578
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be bad. That would be a bad

579
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: book to release. But we could, but we won't because

580
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: I think that would be using our powers for evil.

581
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we can write the book. It's one page, don't.

582
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: Cheat, don't cheat. He also has been on two vacations

583
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 3: without me, Las Vegas. What of all places wait without you? Yeah,

584
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: he's been weird with his phone, like turning it away

585
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: when he texts texts with possible affair partner. He's been

586
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: short with our daughter also. One day, out of the blue,

587
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 3: he says, if we ever got divorced, you would take

588
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: full custody of our daughter. Right, oh my, just checking,

589
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: just literally totally hypothetical, all hypothetical here, but you you

590
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: would take our daughter when we get divorce. I mean,

591
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 3: if we get divorced, if I cheated a will, if

592
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: I were cheating on you, dude.

593
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, he probably has a list of things to

594
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: ask why before getting divorced, and that was one of them.

595
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's like, Okay, if we were divorced, would we

596
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 3: have separate? Would we how am we separate our our

597
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: break of guns?

598
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: That's probably on that list.

599
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: One morning he got out of the shower. I was

600
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: getting dressed, and he walked in, grabbed his clothes and

601
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: got dressed in our master bathroom, which he has never

602
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: done to my knowledge, even though he tells me he

603
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 3: gets ready in there every morning before he leaves for work. Okay, well,

604
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: our leaves for the week.

605
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: What's weird for this, I don't know.

606
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: I made a post on our anniversary and tagged him

607
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: in it, and none of his friends liked or commented

608
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: on it, which leads me to believe he didn't approve

609
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: it to show up on his feed. Same with the

610
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: fourth of July post I made and tagged him in

611
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: the time before when I brought things up again about

612
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: possible affair partner, he really offered no real solutions and

613
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: at the end said, we put this behind us, so

614
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: we don't have to talk about this in so everything

615
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: came to a head tonight.

616
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: Same.

617
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy is one cheating.

618
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: If he really wasn't cheating, how can I ease your

619
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: mind with this? Babe?

620
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: It's Vegas now.

621
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: This man is like cheating, cheating more than I don't know.

622
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: He's the cheating MC Cheaterson and he's the worst at

623
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: it too.

624
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: Just babe, he's the.

625
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: Worst cheater we've seen.

626
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: What happened stays in Vegas?

627
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: But oh no, but he's pretty bad. Yeah, he's like, no, Babe,

628
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: you don't understand nothing happened in Vegas because I can't tell.

629
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: You stay there.

630
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: It's like fight club there first rule I kill.

631
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: We went out in our garage to talk, and I said,

632
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how to start this, so I'm just

633
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: going to say it. I need you to come clean.

634
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: I need to know everything that's been going on because

635
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: I can't keep doing this and feeling like this, and

636
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: if you can't do that, I'm gonna leave. And he said, OMG,

637
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: what now? So I started in again, impossible a fair partner,

638
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: and he immediately got super defensive, saying that he doesn't

639
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: know what I want from him. There's nothing going on.

640
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: What do you want me to say? So we yell,

641
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm crying. He asks what I want him to do,

642
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: but every time I tell him, he acts like he

643
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: doesn't have a choice and that he can't get rid

644
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: of her because they work together. They don't. They work

645
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: for the same company, but different departments now and no

646
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: longer travel together, and they live across the country from

647
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: each other. It ended with him telling me I'm not

648
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: going to get rid of her. If she calls her text,

649
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna answer.

650
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. There we go, digging deeper with her.

651
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Keep the teater, keep digging op, You're close.

652
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: I should have gotten up right then and told him

653
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: that that was the end of the conversation because he's

654
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: obviously made his choice, and you did right.

655
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: You did right, right right now left.

656
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: We yelled a little more and he stormed off and

657
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: left came back after about twenty to thirty minutes.

658
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: See, guys, there.

659
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: Are many, many more red flags. I just don't want

660
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 3: this to be any longer. He's like, don't worry, there's

661
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: actually a lot of worse stuff. I just it's getting

662
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: too long.

663
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a long enough story here, opey dang o.

664
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: The thing that sucks. Yeah, she doesn't really have definitive.

665
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: Proof, or at least enough proof for her to be like, well,

666
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: I now I know for.

667
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: Sure, and I can go through divorce pretty easily full

668
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: custody of everything.

669
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: It seems like you would give her full custody. That's

670
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: true based on the hypothetical. I know how bad this looks,

671
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: and in the back of my mind, I know what

672
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: I need to do. But starting over, especially as a

673
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: single mom, is terrifying. But I also can't keep living

674
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: this way, especially if he's not willing to be honest

675
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 3: and transparent with me. Also, I know I don't have

676
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 3: the smoking evidence, so leaving on a bad feeling and

677
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: some red flags doesn't quite sit right. Have you been

678
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: in this situation? What did you do? What would you

679
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: do if you were me? Any advice? Welcome? Thanks, and

680
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: there is an update.

681
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: But what do you think I'm stuck on? She lives

682
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: across the country.

683
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I feel like that's why they're calling and

684
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: texting someone. They're behaving as if they were in a

685
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: long distance relationship.

686
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: I see, I see.

687
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: I think that you have enough. I think that you

688
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: need to stop gaslighting yourself into thinking that you don't

689
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: have evidence, because you do.

690
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: There's a way to get better evidence, and you can.

691
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: If it helps you. You don't even have to make

692
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: this about cheating. You can say I have noticed that

693
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: anytime I try to bring up a conversation, you don't

694
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 3: want to have that conversation. I've noticed that you're pulling

695
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: away from me and our daughter. I have noticed these things,

696
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: like things that you can actually pinpoint that make you

697
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 3: mad or upset or uncomfortable, and you don't even bring

698
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: up the cheating. You say, you know what, regardless of

699
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: what I think about that, these are things that I've

700
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: actually seen.

701
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: That's tough, tough time. Oh good luck.

702
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 3: Update has been admitted to emotional affair.

703
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think it was just emotional.

704
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. Well, maybe because they were

705
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: so far apart.

706
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: Well, they would travel together though.

707
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: Two weeks later, like title says, we sat and talked

708
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 3: and he finally admitted that they took the friendship too far. Oh,

709
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: and it crossed the line into an emotional affair.

710
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh.

711
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'll ever get the whole truth.

712
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: This is a woman that he traveled with for work.

713
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: He says he only traveled with her twelve times in

714
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: five years, which I'm pretty sure is not true. But whatever,

715
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: they stayed in the same hotel. I found out they

716
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: would go to dinner when they were traveling together. Give

717
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: it to me straight. What are the odds he's telling

718
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: me all of it? Zero zero? He swears up and

719
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: down that he's only been with me spicily since we

720
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: got together. Will there still be trickle truth? I'll admit

721
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: I feel a weird sense of relief because at least

722
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 3: I know I'm not crazy now and my intuition wasn't wrong.

723
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: And at it. He says they haven't talked in forever,

724
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: that he doesn't even remember the last time they talked.

725
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: But just two weeks ago, he was willing to lose

726
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: everything for this woman. It's just not adding up.

727
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you lost them yeah, oh man, Yeah, that's

728
00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: a tough one.

729
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hess. If they had dinner together and we're traveling

730
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: together and staying in the same hotel, they were probably

731
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: having a physical affair at it. I don't know if

732
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: this matters, but he also recently got diagnosed with HPV.

733
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 3: I do know that HPV is super transmittable. I've done

734
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: a lot of research and that it can lay dormant

735
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 3: for years or even decades and doesn't necessarily get picked

736
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: up by spicy means. Although I think that's not the

737
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: majority of cases. Yeah, he definitely got it, but there

738
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: is an update a month later.

739
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you get tested.

740
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, divorce and get tested. One month later, I have

741
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: decided that we need to separate for however long we

742
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: each get individual therapy and go from there. Boy, I

743
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: don't like it. I don't like how that sounds.

744
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: He needs to tell the whole truth before you do that. Yeah.

745
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: This means that I will be moving back in with

746
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: my parents, which I don't want to do, but it's

747
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: better than being where I'm at and feeling how I'm feeling.

748
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 3: I feel that this will give me the clarity need

749
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: to make a decision to see if we can make

750
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 3: this work and we can truly reconcile, or if I

751
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: cannot move past it and we need to just ending.

752
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why I feel this way, but I

753
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: truly am at a crossroads. The bigger side of me

754
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: wants to just rip off the band aid and get

755
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 3: a divorce, and the other side loves him. We have kids,

756
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: et cetera, and want to make this work. I don't

757
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 3: know if it's possible, though, I don't know any words

758
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: of encouragement or anything really is good divorce.

759
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the end of the story.

760
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 5: We're going to read the next one.

761

00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: comments and OP says During the first six months, we

781
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 3: were good, but not best friends, but the type of

782
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 3: roommates who actually talk, tell each other about our day,

783
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: watch shows together, gossip, and even did matching Halloween costumes.

784
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: It was normal and comfortable.

785
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: That sounds like best friends.

786
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yeah, matching Halloween costume.

787
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 2: Everything seemed very plain and simple to matching hallow I did.

788
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: I did matching Halloween costumes with my roommates, and I

789
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 3: mean I I was close with them, but I wouldn't

790
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: say they were my best friends in college at the time.

791
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: I was still blessed with them. Near the end of

792
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 3: that first lease, I asked her to help out more

793
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: with basic chores dishes, trash wiping, counters because I have

794
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 3: a big midday window and don't mind deep cleaning, but

795
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 3: I can't do literally everything every day?

796
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: Do you?

797
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: Sent me a long, sweet message apologizing, agreeing she hadn't

798
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: been helping, promising to do better, and also saying my

799
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: decor makes her uncomfortable to clean around. I immediately asked

800
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: what she'd like me to move or change so she

801
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: could feel included.

802
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: She said she'd tell me lovely okay.

803
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: She also mentioned she had no social life because of

804
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: work and that's why she wasn't cleaning. Fast forward, we

805
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: sign a year lease. It's now the holiday season. I

806
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: work in a school and I'm swamped. Meanwhile, she stops

807
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 3: helping entirely. I mean entirely. You did the dishes once

808
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 3: in a full month, and I had to remind her

809
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: you'd leave food on plates and put them straight in

810
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: the dishwasher. Girls never heard out of dishwasher works.

811
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Weird? What?

812
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 3: Then in October she stopped even pretending she's either here

813
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: with a guy at a guy's house or sleep calling

814
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 3: guys on the phone. Sleep calling guys on the phone,

815
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 3: which she's asleep while she's calling these guys.

816
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: Is she boy crazy?

817
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 3: She throws trash in the bathroom bin until it overflows

818
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 3: with us feminine products, leaves all her stuff out and

819
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: doesn't wipe a single counter. She meal preps, dumps everything

820
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 3: the sink, and leaves. She's barely home long enough to talk,

821
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: so I couldn't even bring up the mess again. So

822
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: last week I put up a note above the sink. Hey,

823
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but all dishes that can chain mold or

824
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: fly eggs and are left for over months will be tossed.

825
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: Mmm, lovely, that's gross.

826
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 3: She asked what I threw out. I told her nothing

827
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 3: this time, but it's a warning because my boyfriend found

828
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: some truly disgusting dishes and clean them even though you

829
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: shouldn't have to. She says, I've been trying to be

830
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 3: on top of things. You haven't been trying that hard,

831
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: which really pissed me off because she absolutely is not.

832
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: I tell her calmly that the house is getting overwhelming,

833
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: my job is more demanding, and I can't keep doing

834
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: everything while getting zero effort back. I explain that she

835
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: uses my things without hesitation, but claims she can't clean

836
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 3: because my decor made her feel uncomfortable.

837
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: What makes you uncomfortable?

838
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: Literally, what are you talking about?

839
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: Is it the gnome?

840
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: She's like, you have a couch and oh, it just

841
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 3: scares me. Ah. I tell her it feels disrespectful and

842
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 3: one sided. She immediately replies with we should talk at person,

843
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: but then she texts completely out of nowhere. I'd also

844
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: like to talk about rearranging our rent and bill situation

845
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: for context, she pays four hundred dollars. I pay four

846
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 3: hundred dollars and my boyfriend pays utilities around three point

847
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: fifty because he's only home less than forty eight hours

848
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 3: every week due to his job. This has been the

849
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: agreement since the last apartment, and she agreed to it

850
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: multiple times. Suddenly, the moment I ask for basic help,

851
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 3: she wants to renegotiate the bills. I got mad, not

852
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 3: screaming mad, just fed up. I walked in and said, hey,

853
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: the bills aren't up for renegotiation. We can settle one

854
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 3: thing at a time or not at all. Then I

855
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 3: removed myself to calm down. When I came back out,

856
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: I said, what the f man, why are we doing this?

857
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: Not yelling, just exhausted. She instantly switches to a soft

858
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: victim voice and SAI, don't yell at me. I don't

859
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 3: deserve to be yell at. I immediately apologized for my

860
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: tone and said we could talk calmly. Then she says,

861
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 3: before we start, don't make fun of me. But I

862
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 3: don't have a therapist like you. So I talked to

863
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: Chatcheet and here's what it says.

864
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: No way, no way. Did I just call that for real?

865
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: Don't don't don't do that. Don't rely on CHATCHYBT for

866
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: your therapy, guys, because it's a yes man. Genuinely, it

867
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: might be worse than not having therapy. Dude, It just

868
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 3: kind of read. It just tells you what you want

869
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 3: to hear. At that point, I knew the conversation was doomed,

870
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: but I still tried. He then starts attacking my decor again.

871
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: Stuff she told me was fine and even awesome when

872
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: I asked before buying it. He complains about a bathroom

873
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 3: shelf and a small wine cabinet, saying she doesn't need

874
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: those things, that we shouldn't have them, not yours. I

875
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 3: tell her she has to communicate these things when they

876
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: have happen, not store them up for a meltdown. Months later,

877
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: she gets irate, raises her voice, starts talking about bills

878
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: again so intensely she accidentally spits in my face. I

879
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 3: ended it by saying we clearly can't communicate. Either I

880
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: need to leave or you need to leave because this

881
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 3: isn't working. Suddenly she spirals asking my boyfriend, why are

882
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: you guys trying to punt me out? He was literally

883
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 3: in the other room the whole time, not involved. She

884
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 3: storms out, slams her door, slams the front door, drives

885
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: to the river docks, then stays at her ex's house.

886
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: Then waver Docks ex's house.

887
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: I text her hours later saying I'm not trying to

888
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 3: avoid her. I'm willing to talk calmly. I just want

889
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 3: basic accountability and communication. She never replies. The next morning,

890
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: she comes home, sees me taking down the exact decorations

891
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 3: she screamed about, puts my heater from her room back

892
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 3: into the living room, slams her door, and goes silent.

893
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 3: So I took all of my belongings out of the

894
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: shared space. Food cleaning supplies cat bowls to core and everything.

895
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: It's all in my room now. It's been forty eight

896
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: hours it's the day after Thanksgiving. I'm almost certain she's

897
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: been packing to break the lease and move out before

898
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 3: the first I know Reddit will say that's best, but honestly,

899
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm sad. We were friends. I didn't want it to

900
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 3: end with slam doors and me being avoided for asking

901
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: her to take out the trash sometimes so things escalated

902
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: in a way I couldn't have predicted, and honestly, at

903
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: this point, it feels like I'm living in a sitcom

904
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 3: written by someone who hates me. Here's the update.

905
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: Oh wait, update, Oh yeah, yeah, it's best.

906
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: It's sad. It's always sad when like a friendship breaks

907
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 3: down or you know, you lose that friend, but it

908
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: definitely is for the best because this person was not

909
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: going to change anyway. Here's the update.

910
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: Update, update they break up.

911
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 3: We got a ton of snow over the weekend. I'm

912
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: at the landlord's house, dog sitting. I shovel and tell

913
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 3: her to move her car because the landlords are on

914
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: their way home. She comes out, lears it off, but

915
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: just doesn't move it. My boyfriend says she's getting in

916
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 3: the bath, so I remind her again. She replies with please,

917
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: what Please? What? I quoted her own message from the

918
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 3: night before about moving her car to avoid plows and said,

919
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 3: you gave a statement, and so am I. She immediately

920
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: blows up, sends me messages about how the regret out

921
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 3: field later, it's got to be a thane ego passing

922
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: for you, demands my landlord's number, et cetera. I told

923
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: her they literally live next door and she can communicate

924
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 3: like an adult. She finally moves the car, then immediately

925
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 3: goes inside and starts screaming, slamming cabinets, yelling things like

926
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: she's broke, she's on EBT. I'm her last friend. She's disgusting.

927
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: I'm turning off the Wi fi. It's eight am, and

928
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to jail today if I see her. It's

929
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 3: so over. She ruined all my pots and pants because

930
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 3: she has to cook it home every night instead of

931
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: just getting McDonald's like a normal first. Oh, that's so funny.

932
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 3: She's complaining that you cook at.

933
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: Home, dude.

934
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot like pots and pants, you don't

935
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: use them.

936
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: The rug, Oh my gosh, it has a pile under it.

937
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: We need to clear the pile out from under the rug. Oh,

938
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: it's way more disgusting. This is so yeah, we gotta

939
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: just throw out.

940
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 3: Let's put another rug on top of that rug, another rug.

941
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 3: That's what this is.

942
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: That we've looked at under the rug, and this is

943
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: what was under it.

944
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 3: My boyfriend was home and heard everything. When I told her,

945
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 3: she said she was glad. At that point, I gave

946
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 3: her the landlord's number if she wants to word vomit.

947
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: Her melt down at them while they're driving home at

948
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 3: eight am, be my guest. Then suddenly she calms down.

949
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

950
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 3: My boyfriend apologizes for accidentally scratching her TV stand with

951
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 3: the box and offers to fix or replace it. She

952
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 3: responds with, thank you all it takes. It's some accountability.

953
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: Oh now, do we have an unreliable narrative?

954
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 3: I think that this person just doesn't understand what the

955
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 3: word accountability means. Immediately followed by telling him how angry

956
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: she was about shoveling for everyone and getting no thanks.

957
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: When he thanked her, she said, thank you. They'll ever

958
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: want it this entire time, just one thank you. Sorry girl,

959
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: new I'm not thanking you for shoveling snow into my car.

960
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 3: Then the plot twist. She has now changed the Wi

961
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 3: Fi passwords so my boyfriend can use it, but I'm

962
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 3: not allowed. She told the landlord she's planning to move

963
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 3: out in sixty to ninety days. That's so long. And

964
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 3: she told my boyfriend she's lowering her rent to three

965
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 3: hundred dollars until she goes no.

966
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: What's it's literally wun This guy's only here for like

967
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: two days. Oh great, lovely.

968
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 3: Which absolutely is not acceptable. She has paid the same

969
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 3: amount for eight months. You can't just take Wi Fi

970
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: hostage and reduce your rent. My dad thinks I don't

971
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 3: need to tell the landlords, but I'm gonna. I need

972
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 3: her move out date official and on record. My landlords

973
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: are family friends, so I'm keeping it factual and neutral,

974
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 3: not a whole drama dump. Just she changed a shared utility.

975
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 3: She said she's reducing her portion, and she claims she's

976
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 3: moving out.

977
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: There, we go keep it on record.

978
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 3: It's crazy, she's crazy. She's crazy.

979
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. It sucks to see a friend go yeah,

980
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: but you know, living with people that don't upkeep, I

981
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: just it's hard. I had my brother didn't really upkeep.

982
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: I mean he did, okay, but I was it was

983
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: tough key on how is it living with people that

984
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: don't do upkeep sucks? Yeah?

985
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 3: For context on her mindset, here's what she has written

986
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 3: on the kitchen whiteboard. I have no prime. I will

987
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 3: evolve until I pass away.

988
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Oh mean like Amazon problem.

989
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 3: Everyone gets the me they deserve. Those below you will

990
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 3: try to pull you down with them. Deny all that

991
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 3: deserves your peace. Access to me is a privilege. Four

992
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 3: four four eight eight eight five five five.

993
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: Is she the floating head from the hatted mansion?

994
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 3: I think don't let people crowd your lane, because that

995
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 3: too scared of the damage that caused, and they caused

996
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: in their own lane. My standards are high as I

997
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 3: can provide for myself. I don't need you. I choose you.

998
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: What is going on this fridge?

999
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: I I'm just gonna say it. I say for manifesto,

1000
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: she maybe bipolar, very good, but you didn't say it.

1001
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: No, But I think that's it. I mean, like, I

1002
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: can't diagnose sir, but I think there is some mental

1003
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 3: thing going on here.

1004
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: I have the power to diagnose any woman.

1005
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: The only women though. At this point, I'm convinced she's

1006
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 3: living in a motivational Instagram reel in her head. I'll

1007
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: update again when the dust settles. Honestly, I'm just counting

1008
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 3: down the sixty to ninety days. Any advice on hour

1009
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 3: what to do from here is much appreciated. I've never

1010
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: been in a situation like this, and ignoring it doesn't

1011
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 3: seem to be the most effective option. I don't know

1012
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 3: what I'm supposed to do for the next sixty to

1013
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 3: ninety days. That's so long, that's so long.

1014
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: Count him down, you count him down?

1015
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, ooh, And.

1016
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 5: That's the end of the story. We're gonna read the

1017
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 5: next one.

1018
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 3: It's John here.

1019
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to the stories. But he's a

1020
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: quick three minute break of ass from our sponsors. My

1021
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: roommate disrespected my home after she moved in, so.

1022
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 3: I asked her to leave, get out of my house.

1023
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: I met my wits end, and I twenty seven female,

1024
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: desperately need any advice anyone could offer. So my old

1025
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: roommate recently moved out to move in with her boyfriend,

1026
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: and I'm already missing her so much giving the current circumstances.

1027
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from Breed Daniel and if

1028
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: you want my own stories, where you gotta go.

1029
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: Sofia, our slash Showcase story time. I'm Riley, I'm Sophia.

1030
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm ke On, and we're here to give good advice.

1031
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: Goolfley, that's our job. Your job is to add any

1032
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: comments you want to add to the story down below,

1033
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: as Op says, my new roommate, who will call jan

1034
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: Ugh twenty seven female, moved in a few weeks ago.

1035
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: I met her on this roommate app that I've met

1036
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: all my former roommates on with no problems, and some

1037
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: might even keep in touch with. I asked her all

1038
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: the same questions I asked previously that have landed me

1039
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: some great roommates, and she seemed to be on the

1040
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: same page in the way that we both want to

1041
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: live as roommates and in a shared space. I thought

1042
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: she was perfect, so I extended her offer. She moved in.

1043
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: Important to note that even before she moved in, I

1044
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: met her in person after our FaceTime call so she

1045
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: could see the place. We went out for a couple

1046
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: of drinks to get to know each other, and we

1047
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: got along great and no outward red flax. The first

1048
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: night went fine. I came home from a work event,

1049
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: she was chilling in the living room. I made sure

1050
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: she was settling in Okay and answered any questions, and

1051
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: then I went to bed. I felt good about the decision.

1052
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: Then this second night came, Oh second I came. I

1053
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: had worked from home that entire day, so when she

1054
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: came home, we watched a movie and I went to bed.

1055
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: She knew I was home. This was around nine PM,

1056
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: an hour in. I hadn't fallen asleep yet when I

1057
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: hear her yelling loudly at her cat about something okay.

1058
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 3: Weird, like one in the morning. She's like, oh my gosh, Pickles,

1059
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 3: you can't keep throwing up. You're waking up everyone.

1060
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 2: You know how you hear like street cats. Yeah, she's

1061
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: also doing the same thing. Yeah.

1062
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1063
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 1: She does this sporadically throughout the night, and I'm mentally thinking,

1064
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: oh no, because it's the middle of the night and

1065
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: she knows I'm trying to sleep. I make a note

1066
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: to talk to her in the morning about it and

1067
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: try to go to sleep. The random noises continue. Oh boy,

1068
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: oh boy, But I'm a heavy sleeper and I'm almost asleep.

1069
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: When I hear our front door buzzer go off and

1070
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: someone's at the door. I don't think much of it

1071
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: and assume maybe she just ordered food. That is, until

1072
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: a few minutes later I hear loud moaning coming from

1073
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in the apartment.

1074
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 4: Okay, those cats, the cats again, they're getting frisky or she?

1075
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 3: No?

1076
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 2: Boy? All right?

1077
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: I shoot up in bed because I genuinely can't believe

1078
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, texting my sister because I don't know

1079
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: what to do. At this point, I'm hoping that was

1080
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: a quick slip up, and also hoping there was a

1081
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: man over, because the alternative would have been especially weird.

1082
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: But the loud moaning continues, and y'all, it's obnoxiously loud.

1083
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: Our apartment isn't that big. She knows I'm home and

1084
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: it's one am. At this point, I realize it's coming

1085
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: from her room, since it's right next to mine.

1086
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 3: Where did you think it was coming?

1087
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: So I poked my head out, intending to give a

1088
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: light knock on our door. Then I realized the noise

1089
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 1: is actually coming from the living No.

1090
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I I was gonna say, if this is the

1091
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 3: first time it's happening, and it's one am, Honestly, you

1092
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 3: just kind of set that out and you're like, you

1093
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 3: just wait until it's done, but living room is wild.

1094
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: That's super so respectful.

1095
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: Should not do it in the living room.

1096
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 2: No, I mean like, that's a shared space, it's.

1097
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 3: A shared space. I think that's a shared space. I

1098
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: think that's kind of weird.

1099
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay, no, dude, what does that mean Riley?

1100
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the second night that she's my roommate and

1101
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: she's having spicy sleep with this guy in the living

1102
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: room on my solo.

1103
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think at that point, you wait, I probably

1104
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 3: would have a conversation and say, hey, like, you know,

1105
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 3: you're you're welcome to do whatever you want in your

1106
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 3: own space, but please don't do it in the communal space,

1107
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 3: because you can even be like sometimes I come out

1108
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 3: for water, like I come out and grab stuff in

1109
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: the middle of the night, and like I want to

1110
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 3: be able to do that.

1111
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: No, pro killow.

1112
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: No.

1113
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: I personally think maybe because she said that their rooms

1114
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 2: are close, yeah, that she was like, oh, she's gonna

1115
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: hear us if I'm in my room. What if we

1116
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 2: go to then.

1117
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 3: What if we go on the communal space? God? Hey,

1118
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: yay yi.

1119
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: I am furious but also shocked. Boy. I asked them

1120
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 1: if they could stop because it's late and they're being loud.

1121
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: Wow, you party pooper, opie.

1122
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: They acted embarrassed and covered up, but it's like they

1123
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: weren't embarrassed when they were purposely making all that noise

1124
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: knowing I'm home, and yes, they left the stain.

1125
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 3: Ew ew ew gross. No, I'm like, I'm getting so

1126
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 3: mad at that. I'm like, how dare you clean that?

1127
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 2: I would say, you're buying me a new couch. Yeah,

1128
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: you're buying me a freaking new couch or at least

1129
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 2: a new pillow.

1130
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: You're cleaning that whole thing, and I taped are yeah

1131
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: flame throwing the whole couch. Yeah, I'll go to bed

1132
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: and the next morning I call my mom, aunts and

1133
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: sister to get advice and have them walk me down.

1134
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 1: Why are we calling the whole family?

1135
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, just.

1136
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: Half of them wants me to punt her out, and

1137
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: the other half says to talk to her and give

1138
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: it a month. I decided to talk to her and

1139
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: based on how I'd move forward depending on her reaction.

1140
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: I tell her that was extremely disrespectful and felt like

1141
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: she took advantage of my kindness and the fact that

1142
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm chill, maybe too chill. If she thinks I'd be

1143
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: okay with this and that something like that can ever

1144
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: happen again. Jan is really remorseful and seems sincere.

1145
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't believe it.

1146
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: I think this is her spicy relation.

1147
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 3: What a spicy desire. Yes, it could be, could.

1148
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: Be uh huh key on you smelling it.

1149
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 2: Ew don't smell it, spelling it. I'm seeing it. I'm

1150
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 2: probably feeling it.

1151
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:28,919
Speaker 3: Ew gross, I'm hearing it, that's for sure. Up Mom.

1152
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: She genuinely seems embarrassed and says that she knows there

1153
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: was no excuse she was wasted, okay. I make sure

1154
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: to ask if she often does impulsive things like that

1155
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: when she's wasted, and she says no. I'm skeptical, and

1156
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: even though I'm still weird out that someone would think

1157
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: that would ever be okay, especially your second night as

1158
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: someone's new roommate, I thank her for the apology and

1159
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: try to move past it. Since then, everything's been okay.

1160
00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: I guess she does annoying things that wouldn't bother me

1161
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: me as much, but they're grading on my nerves and

1162
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: stand out even more due to the incident. Still, nothing

1163
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: too out of the way until tonight, which prompted me

1164
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: to write this there's more.

1165
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 3: Oh I knew she would come back with ovengines.

1166
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: Oh No. I went out of town for a Memorial

1167
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: Day to visit my family. I left on Friday evening

1168
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: and came back on Monday night. I was a little worried,

1169
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: but walked into a seemingly well kept apartment. I took

1170
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: my suitcase to my room to sleep. As I was

1171
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: rolling past, her door was open and I saw she

1172
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: was using our throw blankets from the living room as curtains.

1173
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 3: What.

1174
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 1: I was a little annoyed, but again made a note

1175
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: to tell her tomorrow morning to put them back in

1176
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: the living room.

1177
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 3: She drying them.

1178
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. I thought did keep the

1179
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: sunshine out?

1180
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like, wouldn't she just have curtains.

1181
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: I then go to the bathroom and see stains on

1182
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 1: the toilet seat. The seat itself is off centered and

1183
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: there are stains in the toilet. I had cleaned the

1184
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: toilet before I left. So how did you get this

1185
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: dirty in less than three days? One word dairy dow.

1186
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: The bathroom sink was also dirty. After cleaning the bowl,

1187
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: I go to the kitchen and get a chlorox wipe

1188
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: to clean the seat. When I see broken glass, My

1189
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: poor pink wine glass shattered and left in the dish

1190
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: drying rack, and also some shards on the floor.

1191
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 3: She just left glass yards on the floor. I just

1192
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 3: with John Salp cleaned up. I think that exploded like

1193
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 3: last thing that exploded in my while it was in

1194
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 3: my dishwasher. And it's difficult, but it's not that hard

1195
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 3: like if it was gone a dustbin. You're fine.

1196
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, this just scares me. Yeah.

1197
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 3: Not cleaning glass off the floor is crazy.

1198
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: I understand the accidents happened, but I thought it was

1199
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: common knowledge not to leave fragile glass in a drying

1200
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: rack with heavier items. If you do, not, just leave it,

1201
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: What if I walked in barefoot and cut my foot.

1202
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: She had to have seen the glass. I also noticed

1203
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: our recycling bin is gone, so I texted her ask

1204
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: where it is and if she knows that there's broken

1205
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: glass in the dish drying rack. She ignores the glass question,

1206
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: says she's using a recycling container in her room to

1207
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: empty out her stuff, and asked me to please be

1208
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: patient with her during this process, not to mention she's

1209
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: still yelling loudly at the cat and slimming doors and

1210
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: it's past eleven PM.

1211
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's gotta go, and if you can make that happen,

1212
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 3: then do it. Because it seems like, ohp he feels

1213
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 3: pretty confident in her ability to just like evict this person. Yeah, so, yeah,

1214
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 3: let's just get around.

1215
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: I feel as if I've been more than patient, possibly

1216
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: too patient, so being told to be patient after asking

1217
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: a reasonable question sent me over the edge. I want

1218
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: to talk to her at some point today, and I'm

1219
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: wondering if I should go over boundaries and expectations in

1220
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 1: pain mistaking detail, or go with my gut and tell

1221
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: her I don't think we're compatible and that she should

1222
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: plan to move out since she hasn't fully unpacked yet.

1223
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to be harsh, but I think these

1224
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: are common things. I shouldn't have to set boundaries for.

1225
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: My aunt says common sense isn't so common. So should

1226
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: I give her the benefit of the doubt?

1227
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 3: I think after the fact of like her leaving glass

1228
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 3: on the floor and not even apologizing or even acknowledging it.

1229
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: Nope, don't do it. Do not do it. I don't

1230
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: think so. But I'm big on letting someone know the

1231
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: problems I have with them before abruptly ending a situation.

1232
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: I believe we're all adults and should be able to

1233
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: live without having to set rules, and I don't want

1234
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: to be someone else's mother. I would greatly appreciate any

1235
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: advice on this, or even what to say to her

1236
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: in the case of letting her know. I don't think

1237
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: we should continue living together anymore, giving her thirty days. Yeah, update,

1238
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: he's out.

1239
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 3: Well, he's out, I think so. I think she should be.

1240
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 2: I think she should be too, But I feel like

1241
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 2: she'd be like, nah, girl, you're crazy. I'm staying.

1242
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a cat thing for me.

1243
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 3: She keeps yelling at her cat.

1244
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 2: It's the everything for me.

1245
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 3: Stop yelling at your cat. It's so mean at eleven o'clock,

1246
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 3: slamming doors at like late at night. I don't know.

1247
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 3: I feel like most roommates, if you have a bad roommate,

1248
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 3: hide who they are. Initially, they're on their best behavior

1249
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 3: because you have that kind of honeymoon phase of being

1250
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 3: roommates where you want to show people like, oh, I'm

1251
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 3: a good roommate. I clean up after myself. And then

1252
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 3: it devolves and they become worse and they stopped doing

1253
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 3: the dishes and they stop doing all that stuff. The

1254
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 3: fact that this person started off bad is a huge

1255
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 3: red flag.

1256
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't keep this going. Yeah, I really appreciate

1257
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: all the advice from y'all. And I was already pretty

1258
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: set on what I was going to do. And then

1259
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: about an hour ago, I hear dry heaving. No, maybe

1260
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: it's just a cat, maybe just ca pat out. I

1261
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: come out of my room to check. And so you're

1262
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: throwing up all over my living room because she's wasted

1263
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: at eleven am on a Tuesday.

1264
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, out out out.

1265
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: By I'm done. I let her clean herself up. Yeah,

1266
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: and then tell her I don't think we're compatible as roommates.

1267
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: And then I'm giving her thirty days if i'd a

1268
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: new place and move out. Okay, So she gives a

1269
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: sob story about how she found out a couple of

1270
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: days ago that she has a heart condition and begs

1271
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: if I could give her one more month to show

1272
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,959
Speaker 1: she's not like this because we live in New York

1273
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: and it's hard to find a place. No, you're bringing

1274
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: up the heart condition.

1275
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I have a heart condition. That's fine.

1276
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 2: I mean the heart condition can lead I can see

1277
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 2: why you're getting wasted.

1278
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, but that's an even the worse thing, Like

1279
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 3: she has a heart condition and she's actively getting like

1280
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 3: day draws.

1281
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 2: Is that what you want to do? Like, I get it,

1282
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 2: but like, girl, I don't think that's what you should

1283
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: be doing.

1284
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: I feel like if this was actually true, listen to

1285
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: the conversation, Like if I was the girl, not OPI

1286
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my gosh, Okay, I'm so sorry

1287
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: that I'm doing this. Come back later, Hey, I found

1288
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: out I have a her condition. You have to let

1289
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: me say, yeah, talk to her about that. This is

1290
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: just like I'm not buying it. I say, I understand

1291
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: and genuinely sympathize about her condition, but that should have

1292
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: been thought of before disrespecting my space and peace. A

1293
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: spicy sleep on the sofa happened before the diagnosis, so

1294
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: sounds like an excuse, and she calls me disrespectful, and

1295
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: I point out that's the true. I've been more than

1296
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: fair and patient. While I'm in my room, I hear

1297
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: walking around yelling out that she's a dumb witch, she

1298
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be around me, and that she can't

1299
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: stand me slamming doors even louder than she normally does.

1300
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: My aunt is flying up tomorrow to stay with me

1301
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: to make sure nothing goes too south. I'm honestly exhausted.

1302
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: At least I have some new question since the add

1303
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,479
Speaker 1: one vetting roommates, Like, do you have a drinking problem? Yeah?

1304
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Do you have a sleeping problem? Do you have a

1305
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: cat problem? Do you have a problem.

1306
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 3: Where you're in do you have problems?

1307
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: You have problems? Do you have a problem where you're

1308
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: in the living room and you're like, you have a problem.

1309
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: I need to do this right here.

1310
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's the problem with me and I don't

1311
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 3: want you as my roommate.

1312
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and that's the end of the story.
