We're 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: going to dive into that after reading sufficient Strike ten story. 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: Who says, Hi, everyone, I Mail twenty six need some 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: advice and would appreciate the insights. 10 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: That you can offer. 11 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: My brother and his fiance have asked me to officiate 12 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: their wedding in May twenty twenty five, which we should 13 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: all officiate our. 14 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: Own weddings to yet each other's weddings. 15 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: Yes, that would be kind of fire. 16 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: Or or we can officiate one of your weddings if 17 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: you let us just just in the discord, just. 18 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Let us do it. 19 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: Please. 20 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: However, after observing how she treats my brother, I no 21 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: longer feel comfortable officiating the warriage and wedding. The backstory, 22 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: I wonder why my brother Mail twenty seven is fiance 23 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Female twenty five have been together since October of twenty 24 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty one. They met at their college graduation in May 25 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one and hit it off right away. 26 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: My brother has always struggled to attract women because of 27 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: his weight. He was single for about nine years before 28 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: meeting her. Despite this, he's very good looking with a charismatic, funny, 29 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: and highly intelligent personality. When they started dating, everything seemed promising, 30 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: and my family and I were very happy for them. 31 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: Positive qualities of my future sister in law. She is 32 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: very hard working and a driven person. She has traditional 33 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: and great values and morals, and she's very mannerly. She's 34 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: giving to my brother and respectful to my entire family. 35 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: She's a good human being and very intelligent, just like 36 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: my brother. 37 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: Sounds like all green flags. 38 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: Concerns about control. However, some things have come up that 39 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: have made me rethink my involvement in officiating their wedding. 40 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Future sister in law is very controlling of my brother. 41 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: She always has to know what my brother is doing 42 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: and constantly checks on his phone and reads his message. 43 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: Put some ICUs in the chat if you think that 44 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: she's projecting and she's really the one cheating. 45 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: Ooh, that's literally the ICU word for word. Whenever my 46 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: parents and I call my brother, we are always on 47 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: speaker so she can hear what saying. My brother has 48 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: never done anything to warrant her checking his phone. He 49 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: has never flirted with other girls, never done anything bad, 50 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: never insulted or hit her. She checks his phone simply 51 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: because she likes having control over him. The level of 52 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: control is concerning, since we essentially have no privacy in 53 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: talking to my brother. 54 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: That is what is she worried about or like them 55 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 2: talking about. 56 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: For whatever stemming reason. Maybe it's past relationship trust issues. 57 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: Maybe it's her projecting because she's the one doing something 58 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: like I feel like these people just take stuff and 59 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: then extrapolate it so large, like or a quick example, 60 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: there's a hilarious show where they have like people that 61 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: are you know, engaged for ninety days before they get married. 62 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: Is it No? I would say, yeah, no, I was 63 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: trying to do no free sponsors, but give them all 64 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: the contacts they need. But there's one person who literally 65 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: their wife to be was in the Philippines and they 66 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: had to be literally twenty four to seven FaceTime. I 67 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: remember you telling me about that while sleeping while going 68 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: to the dentist office. And he couldn't live with his 69 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: mom and sister because they were women. 70 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: What, but like, is she really worried about him sleeping 71 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: with his mom and sister? 72 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: They're women, they're women. I think she was the one cheating. 73 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: Of course, because it's always projection. 74 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: Projected like a projector at elementary school. But we have more. 75 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: A lot of my family and friends have pointed out 76 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: how she controls my brother. It's almost as if he 77 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: can't be himself at times without her getting annoyed at something. 78 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: That is another major red flag. His friend group has 79 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: gotten smaller over time because she doesn't like some of 80 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: his friends. It's important to point out that the future 81 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: sister in law has no friends of her own dying, 82 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: he probably sucks, I mean kinda. She always had a 83 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: difficult time making friends, especially with women. My brother has 84 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: had two extremely cross close friends, both guys, since high school. 85 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: He's known them for more than half of his life. 86 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: These friends are some of the best people you can 87 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: think of, hard working, driven on However, she doesn't like 88 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: them simply because she doesn't get along with them due 89 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: to her strong personality. I've seen her try to turn 90 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: my brother against them, even though they are some of 91 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: his best friends. Additionally, when we were making plans for 92 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: the gatherings. Future sister in law often doesn't want to 93 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: include some of these friends just because she doesn't like them, 94 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: even though everybody else does. And I think, most importantly 95 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: the groom, this exclusion is a red flag to me. 96 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,119 Speaker 1: His friend group has gotten smaller and smaller over the years. 97 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a huge red flag. And I also think, 98 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: like I wonder if because this is the first relationship 99 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: that he's ever really had, he's willing to make so 100 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: much so many sacrifices because he's like, oh, when am 101 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: I ever going to get love again? Because no one 102 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: loved me because I was so heavy, and now finally 103 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: someone does. I don't want to lose that, so I'm 104 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: willing to just gate all of my friendships. 105 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: Also, he's like, what else do I know? I think 106 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: so many people can get into it where it's like, okay, 107 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: it's like a first relationship and now they are I 108 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: guess they were getting together at like twenty two to 109 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: twenty three somewhere around there. He's still pretty young, and 110 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: like you can kind of fall into these like traps 111 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: of like you don't really know what a healthy relationship 112 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: is supposed to look like in the specifics like like this. 113 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: Also. 114 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: I love how so many times they're like, they're such 115 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: a good person and here's all the great things about him, 116 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: and the do all this, but they just completely control 117 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: my brother's life and don't let him like do anything 118 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: on his own or of like have a life. 119 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 2: I think she was trying to give like the benefit 120 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 2: of the doubt, but she's like, no, this needs like 121 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: end right now, but Opie continues. 122 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Nowadays, my brother spends most of the time at their 123 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: apartment with her or her family, and it feels like 124 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: she is isolating him. I have also seen her try 125 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: to poison my brother's mind about his friends, although it 126 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: seems like he doesn't really listen to where the influence 127 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: is there and it can trickle down over time. During dinners, 128 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: she'll give him looks or nudge him if he says 129 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: something that she doesn't like. She can be quite moody, 130 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: and my brother just bends to her will, which he 131 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: never used to do. At times, they'll immediately leave gatherings 132 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: there because she's so moody and doesn't want to be there. Additionally, 133 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: friends will bring up topics like traveling or going camping, 134 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: and my brother will freak out and make the sh 135 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: sign pointing at her. 136 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 2: Why are you with her? She's crazy? 137 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: And now. 138 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: What is it worth it? Is it worth it? 139 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: It's like he needs to ask her for permission to 140 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: even have a conversation about going camping, which is really ridiculous. 141 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: In another instance, she ran my mother out of her 142 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: own kitchen twice only because she disagreed with how my 143 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: mother did things, although she meant well and wanted to help. 144 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Future sister in law came off, so who's strong? Goffin 145 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: bosses my brother around in front of family and friends. 146 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: We have a my house your house mentality in our home, 147 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: which means we open our doors and treat everyone as 148 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: if it's their home. Future sister in law, however, has 149 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: stated that she does think this is her home because 150 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: she is engaged with my brother and believes that she 151 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: can do things her own way, which is not how 152 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: it works. Those policies work, and it's this two way thing. 153 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: If someone's like, my home is your home, and you're like, no, 154 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: I want to be respectful. I want to make sure 155 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: I'm helping and contributing and not being a burden. That's 156 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: when it's like. 157 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: Beautiful, yeah, But future sister in laws know is like 158 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: not my home is your home, It's your home is 159 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: my exactly? 160 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Tone matters. Recently, there was an incident where she was 161 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: bossing me and my girlfriend around in my own home 162 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: a politely set boundaries, and she got extremely upset, crying 163 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: and not talking to me for two weeks. This wasn't 164 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: the first time she reacted this way, and it made 165 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: me realize that she can't take any criticism and is 166 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: extremely emotionally impulsive. Twice in the relationship, she's broken up 167 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: with my brother over minor arguments, only to change her 168 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: mind hours later and ask to get back with them. 169 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: My whole family, friends, even my godparents have noticed this 170 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: and are concerned about my brother's future with her.

Dangs throwing, throwing subs over here. 201 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: Despite making more money than my brother, she and her 202 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: family still expected him to pay for all of the grocery's, furniture, 203 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: and dates, while she kept all her earnings simply because 204 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: he's the man and she's a traditional woman. This led 205 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: to her brank account growing, while my brothers remain stagnant 206 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: or even decreased. In the past, future sister in law 207 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: have shown a significant sense of entitlement. She struggles to 208 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: buy even simple things for my brother, who's constantly buying 209 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: her flowers, paying for dates, drinks, and much much more. 210 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: My brother once asked her to buy a simple four 211 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: dollar coffee, and her facial expression showed how much it 212 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: hurt her to consider that. Her response was im traditional woman, 213 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: implying that it's my brother's responsibility to pay for everything. 214 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Another time, when my brother asked if she could buy 215 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: him a burger, she told him she would simply make 216 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: him something at home instead, just to avoid spending money. 217 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: She just is terrible. I just don't understand, don't I 218 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: don't see what Opie's brother sees. 219 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't see I see zero good qualities.

Well there's 230 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: more ladies and gentlemen future as sister in law tends 231 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: to get very ahead of herself in various scenarios. For instance, 232 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: even before my brother had officially proposed to each other, 233 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: she was already announcing to our tire family and friends 234 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: that they were getting married. This was despite the fact 235 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: that my brother hadn't even bought a ring or formally 236 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: proposed yet. 237 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: My god, it was a feeling. 238 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: I had it. It was in my gut. It knew, 239 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: I mean, low key, this was her forcing him to propose. Yeah, 240 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: and if I just tell everyone that he has, he 241 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: has to do it because then he looks crazy too, Like, what. 242 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 2: Do you mean you didn't propose? I don't think you 243 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: would just make that up. I bet you're just riscinding 244 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: the proposal, you turn exactly, dude. It was so embarrassing 245 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: because when the family asked to see the ring, as 246 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: one does, but they had nothing to show. 247 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: For it because she got so ahead of herself. This 248 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: behavior often puts my brother in a difficult position, feeling 249 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: pressured to meet her premature plans and commitments. Dude, she 250 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: literally just announces something is true before it happens to 251 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: force him to do it. 252 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: She's gonna announce that she's like pregnant a year before 253 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: the baby comes. 254 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, She's like like, oh, I'm pregnant, Like, oh my gosh, 255 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: Like how many weeks? Oh? 256 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: Zero. 257 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: My brother ended up proposing to her on Valentine's Day 258 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: this year, twenty twenty four. After ring shopping for about 259 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: two months. He got her a beautiful ring, spending about 260 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: two months worth of his wages, which was very admirable. 261 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: What if he completely drained. 262 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: His fake account. I mean that seems like what he's doing, 263 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 2: He's spending all of his money on this person. 264 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: Literally. However, her reaction felt entitled. When I privately asked 265 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: her about the ring, she responded, Yeah, the ring's okay, 266 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: It's what it should be, as if he barely met 267 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: her expectation. Despite my brother's significant effort and expense, even 268 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: after pressuring him to propose to her. Next section further implications, 269 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: considering that in the Western world, about forty to fifty 270 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: percent of marriages and in divorce, there's a significant chance 271 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: that one of us could face that outcome. Thinking logically, 272 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: given those odds, Opie's Opie's on the on the math grind. 273 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,359 Speaker 2: Over here, Opie's writing this like their dissertation. 274 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Thinking logically given these odds, I worry about my brother's 275 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: future with his fiance. She's controlling, limitingating his time with 276 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: friends and his entire social life. In general. I fear 277 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: that my brother will start to build a lot of 278 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: resentment towards her, which isn't healthy for their relationship. I 279 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: worry about what will happen when they start having kids. 280 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: If she continues to be controlling, it could lead to 281 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: even more strain and issues in their merit. Obviously, every 282 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: couple hits their rough patches, and that's normal. But since 283 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: I know he can be very emotionally impulsive, I foresee 284 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: that she might even threaten my brother with divorce and 285 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: aking half of his assets when things could you imagine 286 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: she sits here, she's paying She's literally paying for nothing, 287 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: making more. 288 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: Money Dutchess Casana says, what assets man has no money? 289 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: Bro Literally, you know what my suspicion is. I would 290 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: say he wanted to get a three months wage rang, 291 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: which is I believe that the tradition was saying, but 292 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: that would have been literally all of his savings, so 293 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: he literally has a month. I would guess he currently 294 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: has a month or less wage in his savings, and 295 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: he earns way less. He earns less and opie or 296 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: earns less than then h a future sister in law 297 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: exact the fiance the unfortunate bride to be op He continues, 298 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: this kind of impulsive behavior can be damaging and adds 299 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: my concerns for their future. I can foresee these issues 300 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: continuing in the future, and I feel like I won't 301 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: be able to see my brother as much, and the 302 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: same goes for my parents. It seems like it's going 303 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: to be like that. My role and decision here's where 304 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: the juice. The juice is popping up. My role in 305 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: the relationship with my brother is significant, and my decision 306 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: not to officiate their wedding comes out of a place 307 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm afraid that if I back out, future sister in 308 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: law will be deeply hurt. Given her reaction to me 309 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: setting boundaries in my own home, you can only imagine 310 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: how she'll react to this more personal decision. I would 311 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: be kind of afraid. 312 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: If she's that controlling when everything is going well, what 313 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: she gonna do when things hit shit they like boom 314 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: hit the fan. 315 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: Boom, yes, crap on those fans.

So first, is 343 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: OP the a hole for not wanting to officiate the wedding? 344 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: No? 345 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: Because she really thinks it shouldn't go through. 346 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I'm almost like you're the a You could 347 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: almost say you're the a hole for not going far enough. 348 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: I feel like she needs to step in and ave 349 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: this guy. 350 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: And then big question, how should I break it to them? Comments? 351 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: Let me know if you have any thoughts on this 352 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: or if you've had to do something similar. 353 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: But I think that what needs to happen is she 354 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: needs to have a one on one conversation, maybe just 355 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: reading out this post saying like, hey, this is everything. 356 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: That I'm seeing. Yes, are you seeing this too? 357 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? Ideal best case scenario. I totally forgot about that 358 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: tidbit that you mentioned earlier, which I one thousand percent 359 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: think is the right move. I think maybe maybe you 360 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: curate the store and then some relevant comments and you 361 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: could be like, hey, you could read everything in all 362 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: the comments if you want, But like, if you could 363 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: do me this favor as your sister who loves you 364 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: and supports you and wants to be there for you, 365 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: just read this story and these relevant comments and let 366 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: me know how you feel. Either read it to him 367 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: if you have to, or have him read it if 368 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: he is ultimately willing. It does seem like OP does 369 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: have the rapport and respect with OP to be able 370 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: to make that ask in him. I feel like he 371 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: probably will agree. So from Tentacle Wolverine irrelevant comment, not 372 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: the ahole, but there is a good chance to repercussions 373 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: from your decision are going to be much worse than 374 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: you think. I think that you should make a much 375 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: bigger effort to get your brother alone and discuss all 376 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: of this with him before announcing anything to anyone. And 377 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: then someone replies, not the a hole, but I would 378 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 1: try talking to brother first and laying it all out 379 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: as kindly and respectfully as you can before you make 380 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: it public that you aren't officiating, and be prepared that 381 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: he may cut you off for go no contact. Just 382 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: remind him that your door is always open should he 383 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: need someone. I'm so sorry for you and your brother. 384 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: Future sister in law sounds like a horrible partner in 385 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: downright abusive, an elegant p Forty one ninety five says, 386 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: not the a hole. But you're right to be worried. 387 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: I would imagine future sitistan in law will attempt to 388 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: phase you out like she did your brother's friends. Good point. 389 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: I think it's okay to admit that you don't love her. Dude, 390 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: she's an utter jerk, and. 391 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: That's what we were saying, Like it's okay to admit that. Honestly. 392 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: I think it's like you're kind of doing yourself and 393 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: everyone at disservice by not admitting, Like, call the apple 394 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: the apple exactly, but don't call an orange anything bad 395 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: out a driggen nightmare person who will probably resemble jacqulin 396 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: Hyde to your brother on a daily basis. You say 397 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: she is driven and hard working, but if she refuses 398 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: to buy a coffee or a burger, claiming to be 399 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: a traditional woman. Now, then dollars to donuts. She's planning 400 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: on quitting her job five minutes after the wedding to 401 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: become to become. 402 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: A lady of leisure, which I really like that term though, 403 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: lady of the lady of leisure. 404 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: Which important context. That could be great, but probably the 405 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: brother would be struggling to financially completely support both of them. 406 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, although he's not not making enough. 407 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: To do that. 408 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like her tastes. 409 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it sounds like shol her taste will 410 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: increase and he will be under even more pressure. But 411 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: I fear that your brother's relief over no longer being single, 412 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: as well as most likely persistent low self esteem, has 413 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: made him feel grateful to not be alone, no matter 414 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: how monstrous his partner is. Uh, if the marriage goes ahead, 415 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: he can probably look forward to a life of misery 416 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: and self Uh what is it? 417 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: A h A facement? 418 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, self effacement. I guess that's kind of like self 419 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: torture almost, Yes, sit him down and all that. But 420 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: to be honest, everyone seems to realize that this is 421 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: a huge problem, but no one dares say anything because 422 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: her personality is so dominant, her control of him is 423 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: so complete, which honestly leads me to a thought, do 424 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: you actually, first, maybe before showing the post relevant comments 425 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: like this, quietly go to the other family members that 426 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: you trust the most and do it as a unit. 427 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 2: Okay, here we go, here we go, talk to me talk. 428 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: You take this post, everything that everyone said yes, and 429 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: all everything that you've lined up. You go to family 430 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: members that you think you could currye support with. You 431 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 2: go to the mom, you go to the to the uncles, 432 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: you go to the everyone else in the family. But 433 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 2: you basically go to him with all of this and say, 434 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 2: we all believe that you should break up with this 435 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 2: person because she's terrible. Not only that, but the entire 436 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: internet believes that you should break up with this person. 437 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: Or maybe you intentionally plan and go one by one. 438 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 2: And then let's say if he starts cutting people out, 439 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: there's still is multiple chances. 440 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: There's multiple chances, and probably what happens is you go 441 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: down the line, maybe like you know, three, four, five, six, 442 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: and then he finally starts coming around, and if he 443 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: comes around, almost guaranteed he will go full contact back 444 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: to those people. Because if you think about it, like 445 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: even things like oh so like when somebody recommends like 446 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: a book or a show, when some like after three 447 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: people recommend it, you're like, I literally have to especially 448 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: people can trust their opinion. I have to watch this, 449 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: I have to read this. 450 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: Or that's been happening to me with Shit's Creek. Really 451 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: people keep recommending it to me. 452 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: That's so funny. I feel like I feel like that 453 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: is a good plan. I feel like we've landed at 454 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: a good, good plan And maybe just to touch back 455 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: on real quick to tie the bow on this episode, 456 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: when should you give or take away support to those 457 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: close to you? I think this is a clear cut 458 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: example of giving support because it's it's there's this like 459 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: threshold where it's like, okay, you need to step in, 460 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And you're the person and 461 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: all of the kind of stars aligned to step in. 462 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: This is the time to do it.

Nothing will happen. It's only eleven pm. 841 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: It's not that bad. It's gonna be fun. Yeah, okay, 842 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: op yeah, yeah, come on, Like, who's gonna complain about 843 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 1: a squeaky bed, right, they're right. The teachers are probably 844 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: asleep now, nothing to worry about. Easy. Now, my sneaky 845 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: link is here and I have to let him in 846 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,439 Speaker 1: through the gate and walk him up to our room. 847 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: It's showtime. 848 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 2: I thought it was specifically not supposed to be showtime, though. 849 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: It's quiet, low key showtime, play time. Oh okay, I 850 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: bring him to my room. Roomies hang outside. We have 851 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: as quiet boom boom as humanly possible, because I'm terrified 852 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: of anyone hearing. But of course it's still pretty loud. 853 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: YadA YadA, YadA. It's time for him to leave. I 854 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: ride the elevator with him, because that elevator is just 855 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: super complicated. I'm relieved we did it. Nothing went wrong. 856 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: It is okay. 857 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 2: No, it's not like I like happy endings. But as 858 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 2: you might be able to tell, the post has to continue. 859 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm about to ruin your good spirits here. I'm just 860 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna take a dukie, hot dukie all over. 861 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 2: Him, a hot lookie, I would prefer a cold dookie. 862 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: No, it's it's pipe and ding. The elevator door opens. 863 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: My history teacher is waiting on the other side. Her 864 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: freaking yo teacher is there. I'm standing there with this guy. 865 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: I look like I just made the boom boom, running makeup, 866 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: messy hair like the whole nine yards. What do I do? 867 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: Ignore him, Pretend I don't know the guy act drunk, 868 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: which is a terrible. 869 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 2: Terrible thing to do. Acting drunk much worse, much much worse, 870 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: because then, like the teachers actually maybe concerned for your safety, right. 871 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: Exactly, Yeah, you know, not looking so great. Op ends 872 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,720 Speaker 1: up saying, oh, well, hello there. 873 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 2: Hello there. I'm imagining like a seventeen hundred British person 874 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,720 Speaker 2: saying like a pinky out definitely like a little teacup. 875 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: Hello the whole like I'm about to like sign something 876 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: into Parliament in seventeen hundred British. 877 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 2: He is a history teacher, after all, so maybe maybe. 878 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: He'd appreciate that. She says that like an effing idiot. 879 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: I think he said high back. But honestly, my brain 880 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: was yelling, no way, this is happening right now, Like 881 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: she's just totally bugging out, so I don't remember, to 882 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: be honest.
