1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: My husband dumped the kids on me at a family party, 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: so I'm dumping him. Although I'm really proud of that title, 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: I made that, and this stands the question of when 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: is a breakup necessary. Also, by the way, you can 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: join us live every weekday at three pm Pacific Standard time. 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Just tab our profile so a non throwaway zero eight 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: six eight two seven one says I have no one 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: to talk about this and I need help. I age 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: thirty five female, have been with my husband thirty five 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: male for fifteen plus years. I must stay at home mom. 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: We recently went to a family party and my husband 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: left all childcare responsibilities on me, and I'm considering asking 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: for a trial separation. Our relationship started going downhill about 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: two years ago. We've always had a good relationship up 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: until my husband started resenting me. He was working a 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: really stressful job sixty plus hours a week, and I 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: was newly pregnant with our second child, and on prag 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: gesterone progesterone progesteron progesteron progesterine progesterone progessedudine, which made the 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: exhaustion a thousand times worse. I was in survival mode. 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: It was a good day if I kept my other 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: child and myself fed. He began to resent me because 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: I wasn't doing any housework. I would lay on the 23 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: bathroom floor all day. So this led to him stonewalling 24 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: met with whenever conflict would arise, which is hard for 25 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: me because I only speak to a two and a 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: six year old obey. So to have the only adult 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: I interact with ignore me for days sometimes weeks was 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: mentally damaging. That is not okay to do that to 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: your partner. Also, I mean, I don't think as an adult, 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: you should be you know, you should be able to 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: communicate with the important people in your life. Any sort 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: of relationship you have, whether it's friends, family, or a partner, 33 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: you should not be ignoring them, especially when you have children. 34 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's ridiculous. That's not cool, dude. 35 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been trying to work through this issue for 36 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: the past two years. After many discussions and fights, some 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: every other week, he came up with their conflict resolution plan, 38 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: which is to one bring up issues immediately without waiting. 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Two do not behaved differently for a reaction or response. 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Three acknowledge conflict without defensiveness, and four resolve conflict immediately 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: we both agreed to this plan. I will be upfront 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: and say that I'm a terrible communicator. I avoid confrontation 43 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: at all cost. I tend to get emotional, which causes 44 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: me to get frustrated because I can't communicate my feelings properly. 45 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: I know my husband sees this as a weakness. In 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: the past, he's accused me that I use my emotions 47 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: to try to gardner sympathy and play the victim. Oh boy, 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: so sometimes when things bug me, I suppress them instead 49 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: of bringing them up. Fast forward to this past weekend. 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: His family throws a big annual party, which I was 51 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: really looking forward to. Family members flew into town that 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: we don't ever get to see, and I was really 53 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing them and hanging out as I 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: don't get to talk to many people. My friends all 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: work full time and have families of their own, so 56 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: we text, but we don't get together much. They have 57 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: a placeset that is super far back in their yard 58 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: from the patio and cornhole tournament that everyone was enjoying. 59 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: This playset is for bigger kids, has a big slide 60 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: with a blow up pool at the bottom. My almost 61 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: two year old boy absolutely loves this play set, but 62 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: he's a daredevil and has zero fear and needs to 63 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: be watched literally constantly. Almost immediately while getting there, I 64 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: follow my kids to the playset while my husband got 65 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: to talk and mingle. I know he's putting all of 66 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: this on her. He's putting all of the childcare on her. 67 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: So not only is she does she not have an 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: adult to talk to in him, but he's also not 69 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: allowing her to talk to any of the adults at 70 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: the party because she has to be stuck on childcare. 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: He's like, this came out of you. It's your problem. 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he sucks. Dutchess Xana says, oh boy, OPI 73 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: leave and asked. Thrash Queen says, oh, so he's guest 74 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: letting her too. Yeah. The fact that he's saying like, oh, 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: you always make you always use your emotions to win 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: arguments when it seems like she's fun like constantly not 77 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: bringing stuff up because of that is Yeah. 78 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Honestly, I hate it when my partner uses her 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: emotions and arguments. It's like, stop, just leave those to 80 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: the side, just push them down. 81 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you shouldn't have emotions. Stop having emotions. 82 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: Get rid of employees're so annoying. 83 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, blind be says, I tell my kids, I don't 84 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: care what they are as long as I Oh. Oh, 85 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: that I read that wrong, because I thought it was 86 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: to do with this story, and I thought it said 87 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: I tell my kids, I don't care where they are 88 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: as long as I get grandchildren one day, and I 89 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: just assumed that you were like, You're like, oh, I 90 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: don't care what my like if my children are on 91 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: this dangerous playground, as long as they stay alive. That's 92 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: what I read that as, which is not what you said. Uh, 93 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: you were talking about loving your children in terms of 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: the queer story, but that is how I read that originally. 95 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: Then they set up the tournament and my husband started 96 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: running it and playing DJ. Meanwhile, it's eighty degrees and 97 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: my kid is going non stop on this play set, 98 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: up and down the dangerous ladder with wet, slippery feet. 99 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: I caught him twice when he fell off. Oh my god, 100 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: this kid's crazy. I'm getting more and more frustrated being 101 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: so far removed and hearing everyone talk and laugh and 102 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: joke when it was my tur to play around. My 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: mother in law came over to watch the kids. So 104 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: I was excited for a break. Finally someone's helping Opie 105 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: should be her husband. But there were a lot of 106 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: kids there and a lot going on. So when I 107 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: was done and came over to see how things were going, 108 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: I didn't see my kid and said, where's the baby? 109 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: My mother in law was holding the other toddler and 110 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: talking to someone else, and rerealized mine was already up 111 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: in the fort, so he went up the ladder with 112 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: zero supervision. This gave me anxiety, and I felt I 113 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: couldn't leave with so many distractions and risk him getting hurt. 114 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: When it was my turn to play again, he managed 115 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: to run around the corner of the house. Oh, play cornhole. 116 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: So Opie is going back and forth between playing cornhole 117 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: and trying to watch her kid. When it was my 118 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: turn to play again, he managed to run around the 119 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: corner of the house with no one seeing, and thank god, 120 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: only went into the garage and not the street. Eventually, 121 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: the adults all went inside to play a board game. 122 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: My husband then came out and walked over to me 123 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: and asked if I needed a break. I was flabbergasted 124 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: because at this point it had been close to four 125 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: hours of me watching him NonStop, with the exception of 126 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: two rounds of cornhole. Ooh, this is ridiculous. Yeah, absolutely ridiculous. 127 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: This is when you employ your nieces and nephews. Mmm, yes, yes, 128 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: I mean obviously the husband should be doing parenting. Absolutely, 129 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: but if he sucks, employ your nieces and nephews. 130 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: I'll probably time it just right when my nieces and 131 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: nephews are like in or teenagers. But out the time 132 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: I have kids. 133 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, perfect, that's what I did. I was always the babysitter, 134 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: but I liked it because I love kids. 135 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: You'll be a good mom, Thank you. 136 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: Where would I I have a feeling. The only reason 137 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: he came out to ask me if I needed a 138 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: break was someone asked him if I needed a break, 139 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: probably the mother in law or someone who saw him 140 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: not doing anything. I had no words for him and 141 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: just walked away. I didn't want to cause a scene 142 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: at a family gathering. We moved the kids inside, which 143 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: was more manageable, and yet my husband got to play 144 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: the board game while I chased our kids, trying to 145 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: get him to eat, change him, et cetera. So I 146 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: guess I never got a break. Wait, so he asked 147 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: her if she needed a break, and then didn't actually 148 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: give her a break. 149 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: Bake break. 150 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Oh, someone earlier said she's already single, which is so true. 151 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, he has to handle three kids. 152 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, him too. 153 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: Almo says, she has five kids. I have three brothers. 154 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: Do the math? 155 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: Who's number four? Oh you're number four? 156 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: No, I'm four and then yeah yeah. 157 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: I was like, who's number four? And five? But you're 158 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: number four. Then it was time to leave, and I 159 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: realized I hardly got to talk anyone. 160 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: Two kids that counts. Don't do that. Don't go down 161 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 2: the slide, please. 162 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: I was so sad and devastated.

When that happened, 197 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: my husband was eating lunch and watching YouTube, and I 198 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: walked up and said, I'm really frustrated and upset about yesterday. 199 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: Can we talk?

What does he 206 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: got to say? 207 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe this thing that he said. I don't 208 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: care if she was ignoring him because he's not helping 209 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: with the kids. 210 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: Maybe, but she might have to go get eye contact. 211 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: And she went, who knows. I'm curious what he guess. 212 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't trust him, I said, I was mentally and 213 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: physically exhausted after oh my god, after yesterday and needed 214 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: to cool off and was waiting for the kids to 215 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: be in quiet time. He immediately accused me of not 216 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: following our conflict resolution plan of bringing up issues immediately. 217 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: So I think what he's maybe saying, if I'm reading 218 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: this correctly, is that she ignored him after the party, 219 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: but she was exhausted and had a migraine and went 220 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: to sleep. 221 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Loki, he's using therapy talk.

He's like, oh he's gaslighting 227 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: her about this, he agreed. No, I think he is 228 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: absolutely weaponizing. 229 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: No, I'm just like you said, you agree with me? 230 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: I do. 231 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: Wow, no going going on when. 232 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: You when you say something I agree with, I agree 233 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: with it. 234 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: But sometimes we do agree, but you like act like 235 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: we don't, and then we come around full circle when 236 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: we do agree. 237 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: Okay, Well I short shorthand agree with you right now. 238 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: Okay, go on. 239 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Yeah.

I think that if you 248 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: know about your like, if you're able to realize that 249 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: when you are like angry about like an issue or something, 250 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: or if someone upsets you and you're angry, that you're 251 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: not going to be able to communicate effectively without like 252 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: yelling or something was She had a migrane Yeah, I 253 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: think knowing that about yourself it is a way better 254 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: response to just take a minute for yourself and then 255 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: come to the conversation.

I have side hustles, but 324 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: certainly can't pay the bills myself. I don't want to 325 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: destroy my kids live. I love his family and the 326 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: thought of losing them is devastating. I can't tell if 327 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm having a midlife crisis or if I'm just overreacting. 328 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: He's the only person I've ever been with, only boyfriend 329 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: I've ever had.

I know I didn't follow our plan, 331 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: and I owned up to that. I have such a 332 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: hard time bringing issues up. I really am trying. I 333 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: get a huge lump in my throat and it's a 334 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: struggle to speak. Sometimes. I'm scared because in the past 335 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: he's made comments that we won't ever take a break, 336 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: et cetera, and I don't want to go straight to divorce. 337 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: But I don't know what to do. I think I 338 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: just want to be alone. I wish I could afford 339 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: a therapist. Good. I ask for a trial separation. Do 340 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: trial separations work? And this is to answer the question 341 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: of when is a bag breakup necessary? Now? This man 342 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: is gaslighting you about your relationship, gas lamping you about 343 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: your relationship, and he's also not helping you with your kids, 344 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: So what what is he good for? Anyway? Obviously I 345 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: think it's hard because Op doesn't have a job and 346 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: is probably relying on him financially. But yeah, no, he's 347 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: he's just not helping you. 348 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: Tough. That's tough. Yeah, wait, let me go see if 349 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: there's an update. Did you get this today? Never? 350 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: But there right be? 351 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 352 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: Stephanie Pittrikowski says divorce doesn't mean she'd have to stop 353 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: speaking with his family. They're still family to their children, 354 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: and Kimberly finds his having a parent this manipulative is 355 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: going to ruin your kids more than a change of 356 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: living arrangement or routine. Yeah, he sucks. He freaking structs. Yeah, 357 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: I think I think the answer is to leave him 358 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: because he's just I think the benefits of his like 359 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: financial the financial situation are are not outweighing all of 360 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: the negatives of being in a relationship with him. Yeah, 361 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: and also I mean maybe she could get some child 362 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: she could, she would be getting child support from him. 363 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: So it's a tough dude. 364 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: But let's get into this. Oh, I've lost. 365 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: It, let's go, let's do it. 366 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: My husband admitted to cheating with his best friend. But 367 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't care. And this stands the question of when 368 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: is a breakup necessary? And by the way, you can 369 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: join us live every weekday at three pm Pacific Standard time. 370 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Just jepler bovol do throa.

He's like, I'm gonna keep seeing Pete, but 396 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: also we could stay together if you want. 397 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: Could she be asexual and. 398 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: Just like oh or a romantic Well, but she said 399 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: that she loves him, so. 400 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: Maybe like asexual and she's just like, I like your companionship, 401 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 2: I like the life we have. 402 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that is also. I mean, maybe she didn't 403 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: realize it and she's like, I just wanted this to 404 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: be kind of like a There's also it could be 405 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: like a QPR, which is a queer platonic relationship. Yeah, 406 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: and that's just like where there's usually it's from there's 407 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: two queer people in the relationship. 408 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 2: But I'm going a DTF relationship. 409 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: Wow.

Basically, he can't choose. 417 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: He loves us both. It falls to me to choose, 418 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do. This is wild, Honestly. 419 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: The bit that hurts the most is the fact that 420 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: Pete is a good friend of mine ouch, but he 421 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: couldn't face me himself and instead let Jay break down 422 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: in front of me. Sorry, this turned into a rant. 423 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: Any advice would help if anyone has gone through something 424 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: similar and edit he comes up a bit. 425 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: So. 426 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: My husband has been openly bisexual since before I even 427 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: met him. Eater is by or pan. He's dated guys 428 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: and girls and others in the past. No one in 429 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: the last three years. To my knowledge, I'm straight and 430 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: then edit too. Since apparently I have no self esteem, 431 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: I guess I couldn't possibly have four degrees a PhD, 432 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: make roughly one twenty k a year, be the main 433 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: provider for the household, run my own business, go to 434 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: the gym twice a week.

I love that. 436 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: Op. 437 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: He was like, I'm gonna freaking clap back so hard. 438 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Is that what you were trying to? 439 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I meant. Oh, I didn't mincraft. 440 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: I didn't even let you get out. It would be 441 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be? DTFPM? 442 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: I just forgot it got too long. 443 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: I know I look good. I actually have a rather 444 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: large ego about myself personality. 445 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 2: How large is your personality? 446 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: All right, Riley, this honestly has nothing to do with 447 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: self esteem. I don't know where it reads that I'm 448 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: a poor little girl who got in over her head 449 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: by a big strong man. But I can bench press 450 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: Jay and waite. Yes, ma'am, I know what I'm with 451 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: and I know I want Jay. So this is so funny. 452 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: I love that that whole last paragraph is just up 453 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: being like, I'm so freaking strong and I've got a 454 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: good job. 455 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: I'm good. 456 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: Don't know what you're talking about relevant comments. La Baraka says, leave. 457 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: Opie says, I don't know if I should. Though we're happy, 458 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: we can still be happy. Throwing that away seems I 459 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: don't know, honestly, Honestly, if Ope's chill with it, I 460 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: guess it's fine. I guess it's fine. I mean, personally, 461 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: I would like I would I would not be okay 462 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: with it because he cheated on her, But I don't know. Man, 463 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: she seems open to it. I mean, he did cheat 464 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: on her, and I guess she's just kind of moving 465 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,239 Speaker 1: past time. I'm confused he not only cheat on her 466 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: but wants to the relationship. Maybe she's just she's open 467 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: to polly relationships. I don't know. 468 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 2: Stup with the Baggy. 469 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: Stu Recipe says, so you don't mind sharing your husband? 470 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: How many nights a week will you get to be 471 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: with him? Or will his friend be moving in with you? 472 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: Opie says, I don't know. He's managed to be with 473 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: Pete enough in the time we currently have. I don't 474 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: know how it would change if I stayed, and m 475 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: m oct says, What I don't understand is why don't 476 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: you want better for yourself? He told you he doesn't 477 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: care if you stay or leave, but Pete he stays. 478 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: I think because he cares about his relationship with Pete. 479 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: How do you still with someone who doesn't care if 480 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: you stay? He doesn't want to fight for this relationship. 481 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: You yourself said you don't care that he cheated. You 482 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: are financially independent. What's keeping you from just ending it 483 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: and moving on? You say you love him, but if 484 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: you did, wouldn't you care that he's cheated for years 485 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: with a person you considered a friend. Wouldn't you care 486 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: that he's chosen his relationship with Pete as the one 487 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: he can't let go of. I think, Oh I love. 488 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: All the comments are. 489 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 2: Like girl, get back into real girl, check back in, 490 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 2: Oh boy, this is wild. 491 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pandemmonium says, or she's trying so hard to hold 492 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: on to the only person she's ever known. 493 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the stages of grief?

You know, you shouldn't 498 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: be just cheating on your partner. Ever, Opie responds, must 499 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: be how I wrote the post. Sorry for sure, how 500 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: it's it is you wrote the post. Yes, Jay does care, 501 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: he just can't choose and doesn't want to force me 502 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: to choose. He's staying at a friend's house. No pets, 503 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: not Pete's. Oops, I was like, no pets, not Pete's. 504 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: I double checked. He's staying with a married couple of 505 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: a lesbian friend we have, so he's not cheating with 506 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: them right now. So I have the house end quote, 507 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: as long as I need to do anything. Is it 508 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: bad that I don't really care that he cheated. I 509 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: have some heartache of the lies and who it was with, 510 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: not that it was a man but Pete, But the 511 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: actual cheating itself doesn't bother me too much, and I 512 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: honestly think I could just move on, ignore it, or 513 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: somehow work with it. Yeah, Holly says, as always, it's 514 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: the broken trust that is the biggest issue, one hundred percent. 515 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just really surprised why she's taking it so calmly. 516 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, but there is an update two 517 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: and a half months later, I guess, yeah, let's do 518 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: a poll, stay or not? But specifically, do you think 519 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: that Opee should stay? Because I think a lot of 520 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: us would not stay in that relationship? But what do 521 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: you think Oh Pee should do? Given that O piecea 522 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: she doesn't care? 523 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 2: I'm confused. I've never ever seen a relationship where they're like, 524 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: I'm okay with them cheating. Do you think it would 525 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 2: change if it was with another woman and that guy? 526 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure. I think that Like 527 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: we've had stories where like the person stopped caring because 528 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: they stopped loving the person, But it seems like OPI 529 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: is still in love with him, so I don't Yeah, 530 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. But there's an update. I'll ready the 531 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: tail there and says we are still together side out. 532 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: I chose to cancel my meeting with EAT make a meeting. 533 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: Does that mean maybe she's gonna meet? I don't know. 534 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: After reading all of your advice, I chose to ask 535 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: for space, which he j thirty six male freely gave. 536 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: He was staying at a friend's house when I called, 537 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't face me yet and asked. This helped to 538 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: confirm when I already knew he was indeed staying with 539 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: our mutual friends, a married lesbian both thirty six female couple. 540 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: Don't know he didn't run to Pete, as some of 541 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: you thought. I was leaning towards separation after reading your advice. Well, 542 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: a few days after I requested space, I decided to 543 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: ask for separation. I got along and ice cream and 544 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: tear filled. Three weeks short, Oh, I say what she's saying? 545 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: Ice cream and tear filled week. I caved and called him. 546 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: I did not beg for him back or anything like that. 547 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: I asked him out for a walk and we had 548 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: a long talk. It was a fair while ago, so 549 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: I can't word for word tight what it was said, 550 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: but it boiled down to this number one. I still 551 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: love him no matter what. Number two. He still loves me, 552 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: no matter what. Ree He loves Pete no matter what, 553 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: or He does not value either of us above the other. 554 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: When he spoke about me leaving but him not leaving Pete, 555 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: he was giving me an out more than anything else. 556 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: Jay would be destroyed if I chose to leave. But 557 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: he didn't want me to stay if I truly didn't 558 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: want to, which is why he didn't beg for me 559 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: to stay. After this talk, we stayed separate for a 560 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: few more days. About seven weeks ago, Jay moved back 561 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: home and Pete came over for dinner. That talk was longer, harder, 562 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: and contain more personal details that I do not want 563 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: to share here, but the points were as follows. Jay 564 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: and Pete have not been together as long as I feared. 565 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: It's about twenty eight months, not since they were teens. 566 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: Pete truly didn't want me to get hurt, and he 567 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: was the one pushing Jay to be honest with me. 568 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: Why did no Pete put that in twenty months? 569 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, after like two years. 570 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Two years and a bit, Yeah, why are you putting 571 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: it in like baby time? 572 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 2: I know? And after twenty four months? People don't do 573 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: baby tommy. 574 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pete is gay, but he dated girls in the past. 575 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: Neither of us are attracted to each other and we 576 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: are not together. We're all going to have individual and 577 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: couples and group therapy couples are each of us. As 578 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: me and Jay need to work out our marriage and emotions. 579 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: Pete and Jay need to work out the secrecy and 580 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: talk through their own relationship. And Pete and I want 581 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: to work on working together. 582 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: What dude, imagine the therapy? 583 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: Oh my good. Really, you were right something I should 584 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: have mentioned but didn't do. To the fact I know 585 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: I read it would react. Is I am asexual? You've 586 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: ignalled it. Let's go you called it. Yeah, that was 587 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: a great point. I am not in any way sexually 588 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: attracted to my husband or anyone for that matter. However, 589 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: I choose to have to sleep with him, as I 590 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: know he enjoys it. I still have a libido. I 591 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: just don't feel the need to have sex when I 592 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: have spices. Sleep with Jay rarely once every two ish months. 593 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: It isn't a chore, but more a more intimate tittle. 594 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: Jay knows this and has this our entire marriage. In fact, 595 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: he was the one who helped me figure out I 596 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: would say sexual. If this is hard for you to understand, remember, 597 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: attraction does not equal choices. Acephobes will be blocked with 598 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: no reply. Honest questions can be answered. Oh yeah, that's 599 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: my story. I can take further questions in the comments, 600 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: and there are two relevant comments to finish the story off. Okay, yeah, 601 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean I think it does explain more of their situation, 602 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: and it seems like he seems like they're figuring it 603 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: out for them. I guess if it works for them. Yeah, 604 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, man. 605 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just shocked to how calm Opa has been 606 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: this whole thing. 607 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: I know, Op, he has been very very calm. Yeah, 608 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: but let's read these lemant comments. Mmocts wel Coglic says, 609 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: helping the camera's celebration is crazy. I also thought that, 610 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: I think it's so funny that you did that, especially 611 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: after we just talked about her being asexual. I thought 612 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: that was like, I was like, that that is somewhat, 613 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: that is a choice. 614 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 2: I was like watching the replay of it and I 615 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, I die. It was just 616 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 2: instinct school. I couldn't help it. Like you said, I 617 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: was rush. I was like, ah, oh man, I can't, 618 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: y boy, this is the real me. This is what 619 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: happens no filter. 620 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: MMCT says sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you guys 621 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: a throupple of Minus the Spicy Sleep or did you 622 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: get back together with Jay and accept he sleeps with Pete? Also, 623 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: does that mean that you know now don't have to 624 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: sleep with Jay out of obligation anymore because he's getting 625 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: his needs met by Pete, and Opie says, me and 626 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: Pete are not together. I don't know if I love 627 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: spicy sleep with Jay again. It's something I'm working on 628 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: in therapy. And this is stands the question of when 629 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: is a breakup necessary. I'm also relive right now, so 630 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: taper profile and checks out. I guess a breakup is 631 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: not necessary in the situation, which is they're going with therapy. 632 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: Funny because in like any other like, if this were 633 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: repeated by other people who were not open, I'd be like, 634 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: absolutely break up. 635 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: But this is a loophole. This is the loophole to cheating. 636 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: Loki Okay, but not not. It's not a hard fast rule. 637 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: Not Alma's mad. 638 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, not all. I mean, it wouldn't always happen like this. 639 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: I think this is just is. 640 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 2: The only loophole to cheating. Very Rather you should have 641 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: a conversation first. 642 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, absolutely, I mean the therapy is I must. Yeah, 643 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: therapy is a must. Asexual They say Ace like bye 644 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: bisexual crazy? 645 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 646 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: What was I saying? 647 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: Uh? 648 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't think that her being Ace is 649 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: the reason she's dang. I think she has her own 650 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: reasoning that's like very unique to her, and I guess 651 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: if it if it works for her, then then that's okay. 652 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: I I think that she definitely needs to talk to 653 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: like keep having these conversations because this is a trust issue. 654 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,959 Speaker 1: He did, regardless of her you know, opinions on icy 655 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: sleep and stuff, he did still cheat on her and 656 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: they did have a monogamous relationship. Yeah, so I think 657 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: I guess it's good that they're okay, but go to therapy. Yeah, 658 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: Jelly Buss says, it's them dealing with their love and 659 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: relationship and trying to figure it out. Very good point, 660 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: but all right, that is the end of that story. 661 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: Got another one? Do you need to use the bathroom? Anything? 662 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: I do?
