1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Fiance leaves me because I have cancer, Fine, I'll leave

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: you destitute by doing the unthinkable. I mean, pretty pretty fair,

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: pretty fair sponse. I think if you leave someone because

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: they have cancer, I say leave him. My brain was buffering,

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: you know how they say, like, you know, like cut

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: toxic people out of your life, cut cancer out of

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: your life, cut cancerous people. That's what they mean.

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: Right.

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: My man's taking taking euphemisms a little too serious?

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Me?

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: Is it kidding? Support cancer?

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: Well?

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: I support fucking cancer over.

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: Sam?

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Is pro cancer cancer? Fight for the right to grow.

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: This has been four years ago, so this sting is

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: gone and my revenge has been had. Sorry if this

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: isn't the right forum for revenge, but it is always

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: the right forum for revenge.

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: Correct.

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: We dated for four years and had what I thought

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: was a great relationship. We were both well established professionals.

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: All right, I get it. You make money, who both

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: owned homes in the same neighborhood. Okay, we get it.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: You have money and both had daughters in the home. Okay,

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: we get it. Her daughter was eleven and mine was sixteen.

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: When we met. We had actually planned to get married,

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: build a house, and raised the two together. Sounds ideal, like, opee.

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing's going to go nothing's going to go wrong.

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: We planned the house build because she had recently been

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: diagnosed with a neurological disease and that would eventually put

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: her in a wheelchair, and we needed something eighty a friendly. Damn,

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: that's a wrench aw Okay, so she had she used

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: the one that's going through some medical problems. Okay. During

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: the planning stages, I began doing landscape and construction projects

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: on her home to increase the resale value. All in,

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I invested around thirty thousand dollars into the home, running

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: everything or running everything through my side construction business for

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: tax permitting and resale purposes.

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: That sounds like a like a lot.

41
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude. Oh, he's like putting in time, he's putting

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: in money. He's really trying to help out. It seems real.

43
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: We had a contract for payment that would be made

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: upon the sale of the home. I produced invoices for

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: each and every project, but never push for payment because

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: of the prior agreement. Yeah, that's seems a little I'll

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: be interested to see how that unfold. Well, it's like

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: it's his wife. He thinks it's gonna be fine, right, Yeah,

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: But also I could see how, like I mean, he's doing,

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: he deserves to be paid. Like also like charging charging

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: your wife, I could see how things might get a

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: little messy, a little messy. Fast forward six months, we're

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: looking at properties to develop and finalizing drawings in the

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: home when I began feeling ill. I couldn't eat, constantly

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: vomiting and passing blood.

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Damn geez.

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: I noticed that my abdomen looked swollen, which was odd

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: because we were both very clean eaters and we're in

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the gym every day. So man's fit, man's rich, man's married.

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Seems like he live in a life except for now. Yeah,

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: for now, he's living life. So I went to the

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: doctor and began having tests done. During this time, she

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: began having small cognitive issues and the stress of her

64
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: current position was exacerbating her condition. So she took a

65
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars per annum cut and pay, along with

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: a lesser position inside the company I imagined to like

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: deal with all the things she was going on. After

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: a month or so of different tests and a biopsy,

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: it came back that I had a golf ball sized

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: tumor in my stomach, oh my god, and would need

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: to begin chemotherapy immediately. I began chemo and radiation treatments,

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: which made me expectedly so extremely ill. She was spending

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: time helping around my place on the weekends and staying

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: over more to the point where they were both at

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: my home more than theirs. At this point, I suggested

76
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: that we go ahead and put one of our houses

77
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: on the market and move in together until the new

78
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: house was built. Which, dude, this is such a rough

79
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: situation because both of them are having like major health issueriod.

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what are the odds that like right

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, like horrendous health issues. Yeah, I

82
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: have great supplemental insurance as well as a long term

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: illness plan, so using that coupled with the sale of

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: one of our houses would push us through comfortably and

85
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: help ease the financial stress on her. Okay, smart, okay,

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: ope is like playing out on a shit. Shortly after

87
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: this discussion, she became extremely distant. Her daughter wasn't coming

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: down and hanging out with mine anymore. She had excuses

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: for not getting together. She quit driving me to treatments

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: and stop staying over. She then dropped a bomb a

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: sentence that will forever be burned into my psyche. Oh wow,

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I love you, but I can't see myself taking care

93
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of someone this sick in the long term. And I

94
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: don't think we should see each other any longer. Wow,

95
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: especially after like he cared for her that.

96
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the instant hypocrisy is crazy.

97
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: Wow, it broke me.

99
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: She said this in a text. Wow, not even face

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: to face.

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: That has to be face to face conversation.

102
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: It broke me. This is the first woman that I

103
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: had ever opened up to and planned a life with

104
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: since my wife died when my children were one in three.

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: Oh.

106
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: However, I try to be mature about it. I forced

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: myself to understand a position and to accept what I

108
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: couldn't change. Stoic, I calmly the next day gathered all

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: of her things, packed them neatly, loaded them in my truck,

110
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: and took them to her house to leave on the

111
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: back porch while she was at work in order to

112
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: avoid any awkward exchanges. Walking around the back and under

113
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: the porch cover, and saw her in her back living

114
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: room on the couch having sex with a man that

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: she had introduced to me as a lifelong friend.

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: Ah, roh, what is happening? Yo?

117
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: I had dinner and drinks with this man and his girlfriend.

118
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: We had gone on vacation with them as well.

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Oh god.

120
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: I never spoke at the incident with her and simply

121
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: sent her a text later explaining that I would leave

122
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: her things on my side porch to pick up at

123
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: her convenience. I discovered eight or nine months later from

124
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: his now ex girlfriend that they had broken up due

125
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: to him confessing that he had been sleeping with my

126
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: significant other dating back to the time we were finishing

127
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: drawings on the new home. So this has been happening

128
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: for a while. Oh my god, no, peopro Now.

129
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm pissed, so revenged, let's go.

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: At this point, I had finished chemo and radiation for

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: the time being and was feeling a bit healthier. Okay, oh,

132
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: he's got to his feet. I was going through some

133
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: much neglected paperwork when I ran across the file that

134
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: contained the thirty two thousand, six hundred and eighty dollars

135
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: in unpaid long overdue invoices, which were promptly sent to

136
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: my attorney to begin line proceedings on the home. It

137
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: turns out that I couldn't have done this a moment

138
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: too soon, because she was set to put her house

139
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: in the market.

140
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

141
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Coupled with interest over the course of what was then

142
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: nineteen months over due, the invoices were hefty that, along

143
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: with the agreement of settling them when the house was

144
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: sold in the attorney fees left her with roughly ten

145
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars after the sale of the home and settling

146
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: her current morgals. Oh my gosh, she sold her whole

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: house and only got ten thou dollars.

148
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: Geez.

149
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: She promptly had to back out of the purchase of

150
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: another home and moved in with her oldest daughter, sister

151
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: in law, and two grandchildren. She also had to leave

152
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: her job and begin receiving disability, so her life is fricked.

153
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

154
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: I ran into her a little over a year ago,

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: and she looked like she had aged twenty years and

156
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: was in a wheelchair. Had talked about We chatted cordially

157
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: but briefly, and I excused myself and went on with

158
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: my day. A few days later, her younger daughter called

159
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: me and spoke of my running into her mom and

160
