gonna go over which one was the fake last week.

00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:54.109
Yes, so we have the episode from last week was

00:01:54.109 --> 00:01:57.219
red green and beige The lags, we've got divorcing

00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:00.400
over fertility issues with the very positive

00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.480
update. Yeah, and the update was so great. I

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.579
love that story. Well, the ending, I love. Very,

00:02:05.579 --> 00:02:07.799
very, very true story, not a fake, which we love.

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.159
Yeah. Spilling mom secrets to our daughter. And

00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.240
then we have the past relationship secrets, the

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.919
girl that didn't want to tell her boyfriend.

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.139
He asked if she'd had a past with the one guy

00:02:19.139 --> 00:02:21.280
and anyways, that was a real, that was a real

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.819
story as well. Okay. Yeah. So he broke up with

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:26.969
her on the spot. And then the last one was sneaking

00:02:26.969 --> 00:02:32.030
leftovers to my ex. Which thankfully the last

00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:34.669
one, sneaking leftovers to my ex was the fake.

00:02:35.449 --> 00:02:37.889
So if you guys guessed that, good for you. You're

00:02:37.889 --> 00:02:39.330
getting good at this. Or if you didn't guess

00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:43.090
it, keep practicing. But that was it. So without

00:02:43.090 --> 00:03:05.000
further ado, let's jump into the stories. This

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.180
first story comes from M .I. The A -hole. It's

00:03:08.180 --> 00:03:10.939
A -I -T -A. Friends with benefits gets caught

00:03:10.939 --> 00:03:14.259
lying to me. So I had a friends with benefits

00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:16.280
for about two and a half, almost three months.

00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:19.240
I'm 24, he's 35. When we first started seeing

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.900
each other, we saw each other often. And at this

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:23.800
point, we had spent a lot of time together almost

00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.939
every day. Well, I work all over the US normally,

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.780
and I got a call from my recruiter from work

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:29.780
who said I'd be scheduled to go on assignment

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:32.560
March 1st. So we agreed to see each other up

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.860
until I left and that he'd come on vacation with

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:36.919
me when I came back in December. We said it'd

00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.039
be just us then after we'd split. So I'm going

00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.939
to add my own context here. What she's saying

00:03:41.939 --> 00:03:45.020
is they were going to be monogamous up to this

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:47.310
point, and then they would split. So I didn't

00:03:47.310 --> 00:03:49.750
talk to nor sleep with anyone else but him, and

00:03:49.750 --> 00:03:51.650
he wasn't supposed to either. That was our mutual

00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:54.409
agreement. Well, it's Wednesday, February 15th,

00:03:54.409 --> 00:03:56.830
and I see text pop up on his iPad. He doesn't

00:03:56.830 --> 00:03:58.729
realize they pop up on there anytime he gets

00:03:58.729 --> 00:04:01.330
a text. And I was cleaning the house, his house,

00:04:01.750 --> 00:04:04.689
and I, by accident, saw it was some girl he's

00:04:04.689 --> 00:04:06.710
talking to. And honestly, I closed it when I

00:04:06.710 --> 00:04:09.069
saw her responses. At the time, I thought, you

00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:11.330
know what, I'm leaving March 1st, and this really

00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:13.719
won't be important after that. I was fine until

00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.939
I heard a text pop up about every five minutes.

00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:18.759
I couldn't help but look and get annoyed. Oh,

00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.160
shoot. I honestly wish I'd never seen any of

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.199
it at all. Well, the next day comes around and

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.199
friends with benefits kids are supposed to come

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.660
today because of spring break. So I'd straighten

00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:29.600
up the house and I turned off his iPad because

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.819
the messages were still popping up very often

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:33.959
and I just didn't want to hear it. So it's nine

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.139
thirty a .m. He's already gone for a court appointment

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:37.959
and I'm just leaving for a doctor's appointment

00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.100
and I tell him. Hey, I turned off your iPad.

00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.120
I'd hate for your kids to see the messages you're

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.800
receiving from whoever it is you're texting.

00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.399
He says, OK, thank you. I didn't know they were

00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.639
popping up. And I finally decided to tell him

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.480
I saw them last night and I just didn't want

00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.360
to say anything and ruin the last bit of time

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.660
we had left to see each other. And he's like,

00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:56.459
oh, yeah, I thought her number was blocked. And

00:04:56.459 --> 00:04:58.639
I felt relieved for all of two seconds. But then

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.779
I knew he was lying and I suddenly wasn't OK

00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:03.120
with it. I mean, he was actively texting here

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.120
and I saw the responses. So I obviously knew

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.379
it wasn't just a one or two. It was probably

00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:09.819
30 text messages altogether. I unfortunately

00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:13.980
counted. So he plays it cool and I'm at the doc's

00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:15.699
office. I asked him to let me know if the kids

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.300
are coming so we can find out if it's a good

00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:20.139
time for me to come back to his house because

00:05:20.139 --> 00:05:22.040
I stayed there probably four days a week. Well,

00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.740
when I asked if it was a good time for me to

00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:26.019
come back, he texted me and says, no, you just

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:29.839
need to stay gone. I'm sorry. And I immediately

00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.600
knew it was because I said something about the

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.540
text messages. He seemed upset and he's never

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:35.970
not been okay with me coming over. so at this

00:05:35.970 --> 00:05:38.009
point i'm mad i even mentioned it and annoyed

00:05:38.009 --> 00:05:40.350
he even got mad at me as if i snooped through

00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:42.670
his stuff when in fact it was an accident i saw

00:05:42.670 --> 00:05:45.269
anything at all although i did keep looking yet

00:05:45.269 --> 00:05:47.709
i guess i'm a little forced to be glad this happened

00:05:47.709 --> 00:05:49.829
because if he lied about that who knows what

00:05:49.829 --> 00:05:52.089
else he wasn't honest about i haven't talked

00:05:52.089 --> 00:05:54.069
to him since and i honestly hate he ended this

00:05:54.069 --> 00:05:56.250
the way he did because i've done nothing wrong

00:05:56.250 --> 00:05:58.089
to him and if anything he's the one who lied

00:05:58.089 --> 00:06:00.790
to me like i'm some kind of idiot i was really

00:06:00.790 --> 00:06:03.269
fighting the urge to be even a little petty just

00:06:03.269 --> 00:06:05.850
be an adult and get over it but I lost. So I

00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:07.990
somehow remembered this girl's number by memory.

00:06:08.209 --> 00:06:13.189
I call BS. Okay, OP. I BS you didn't remember

00:06:13.189 --> 00:06:15.050
this by freaking memory. You wrote it down in

00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:18.490
her notes. And you freaking yeah, you saved this.

00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:21.370
She said since I'm a visual learner, I remember

00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:23.610
a lot of what I see even if it's not on purpose.

00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:26.290
I also still have his and I put them both on

00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:29.290
a bunch of STD positive sites. And they should

00:06:29.290 --> 00:06:32.189
be getting calls and texts very soon lol. And

00:06:32.189 --> 00:06:35.139
probably wondering if the other has an STD. It's

00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:37.379
really the only thing that's really made me feel

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:39.439
better. And I never really do this kind of thing

00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.500
to people, but it just felt nice to get even

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:43.639
for once. I just need to know if I'm being dumb

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.639
or what. Normally it wouldn't affect me this

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.579
much, but after being lied to and treated like

00:06:47.579 --> 00:06:49.680
crap all the time from men anyway, it really

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.000
just hit me a little hard. All thoughts and opinions

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.600
are welcome. I can take it. Update, because it's

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.699
not worth waiting. So I do obviously feel a little

00:06:57.699 --> 00:07:00.500
bit bad that I put her number on an STD site.

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.459
There's a 50 -50 chance she knew about me. And

00:07:03.459 --> 00:07:05.240
I'm grown enough to admit when I'm wrong about

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.800
something and being an asshole. And I feel zero

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.000
remorse for if we have an agreement and stick

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.879
to it. If you want to change it, talk to me.

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.920
I wouldn't have been upset if he had just talked

00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.139
to me. Nobody wants to be one of many partners.

00:07:16.540 --> 00:07:18.540
And we've had a conversation about this. So he

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:20.540
is at fault for not being honest at the least.

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.800
But nobody's perfect. We all do stupid things

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.019
sometimes when someone hurts our feelings. Then

00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:26.899
we move on from them and find someone else when

00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:30.079
we're ready. So. Where I forgot because that

00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.300
was what kind of loans for I forgot. How long

00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:34.560
have they been dating? Two and a half to three

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.139
months. They're just friends with benefits. They're

00:07:36.139 --> 00:07:39.439
not even exclusive. Okay. Okay. Okay. She's over.

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.540
Yeah, they're friends with benefits. They're

00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.459
not even together So this is the thing is this

00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:47.160
is a foreign freaking concept for us like based

00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.040
on our upbringing Yeah, that friends of benefits

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.379
is not really a thing for us. So I have a hard

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:55.759
time relating in any sense, but That's where

00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.399
my mind went was how on earth Do you have any

00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.399
expectations for monogamy when you're literally

00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.319
friends with benefits? Like you've agreed to

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.680
being friends with benefits. That's actually

00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.980
stays at his house four nights a week though.

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:10.920
That's pretty wild. That's like you're in a relationship

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.579
it feels like. So that part I was a little bit

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:16.959
like, wait, okay. Got a little confused. So they

00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.560
are like major friends with benefits then if

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.100
she's there all the time. See and that's the

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:23.819
thing. This is where it's the whole stick to

00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:26.319
your story type of deal because she obviously

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.000
they're She's telling herself they're friends

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.319
with benefits. He's obviously treating it as

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.759
friends with benefits, but I think she actually

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.259
really is hoping for something more. 100%. Like,

00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:37.419
there's no doubt. I think she's a little delusional.

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.320
Like, she's kind of pretending to be in that,

00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.919
like, whole girlfriend -boyfriend era when they're

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.379
not. Yeah, and he's like, he's not down. He's

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:47.580
not... Clearly, he's not down. What's crazy to

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.419
me is, like, he didn't even try and, like, save

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:52.159
it, really. He just was like, don't come back.

00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:56.379
See ya, bro. Yeah. Like he's on to the next iPad

00:08:56.379 --> 00:09:00.480
girl. Mm hmm. Oh my heck. That's crazy. So the

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.820
comments did help to add a little bit of context.

00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.120
So like because I what I thought is not like

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.840
totally how the world sees it and for good reason.

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.059
So that's somebody said lots of friends with

00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:14.139
benefits are monogamous just because a person

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:16.139
doesn't want to have a romantic relationship

00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:18.460
doesn't mean they want a sexual partner who has

00:09:18.460 --> 00:09:20.360
many partners. This should have been hammered

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.539
out by the people involved. Everyone sucks here.

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:26.340
Okay. So my first reaction was like, hey, yeah,

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:29.139
you're the asshole because you just like you

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:31.399
just put him on blast when you just weren't actually

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.820
cool with what you agreed to. Yeah. And I would

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.500
never be cool with that anyway. You know, like

00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:41.200
I wouldn't I couldn't. So part of me is like,

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.879
I get why you would think that you were in a

00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.139
relationship or feel like you were. She was like

00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:46.600
trying to play it cool, probably because she

00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.360
really liked him. Yeah, she's like, oh, yeah,

00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:50.899
we can just be. chill like we can we don't have

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:52.919
to be anything exclusive but I'll crash at your

00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.080
house four nights a week yeah like you're gonna

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.019
fall in love with me if you don't i'm gonna put

00:09:57.019 --> 00:10:00.039
your freaking number on an sdd thing exactly

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.379
that can we talk about that is there any comments

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:05.039
about that that's crazy well yeah there's there's

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.799
a bunch but there there's a couple more that

00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.860
i want to share more important question why were

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:11.759
you cleaning his house if you guys are just friends

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.440
of benefits She says, we may have just been friends

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.240
with benefits, but we were at least a little

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.139
caring of each other. I was obviously a little

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:22.440
too caring, but what's done is done. Yeah, just

00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.679
like the STD submission, girl. Yeah, you're aft

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.039
up for doing that. That's wrong. That's so crazy.

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.600
Here's one that speaks. I knew I read one earlier.

00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:33.259
You put them on positive STD sites to be petty.

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:35.740
That's not petty. You're a real piece of shit.

00:10:35.909 --> 00:10:38.110
you'd be furious if someone did that to you not

00:10:38.110 --> 00:10:40.210
only are you the asshole you're also probably

00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:43.350
a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies he really

00:10:43.350 --> 00:10:47.570
dodged a bullet liar or not whoa so comes in

00:10:47.570 --> 00:10:50.549
swinging yeah i don't know if it's that well

00:10:50.549 --> 00:10:52.730
i don't know i don't know what entails like if

00:10:52.730 --> 00:10:55.070
you get buttoned up like what really happens

00:10:55.070 --> 00:10:58.450
you just get a phone call i have no idea like

00:10:58.450 --> 00:11:02.330
no one's banging on your door like you know sdd

00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:06.029
police Open the door. We have your treatment

00:11:06.029 --> 00:11:10.590
right out here. I don't even know. So I don't

00:11:10.590 --> 00:11:12.649
think it's that big of a deal. Like if it's just

00:11:12.649 --> 00:11:15.509
a call. I mean, it's still so crazy. But do I

00:11:15.509 --> 00:11:18.730
think she's like the most evil human? No. No,

00:11:18.769 --> 00:11:21.470
it was to me that it sounds like it's just petty.

00:11:21.649 --> 00:11:24.970
Yeah, it is petty. And there's a small part of

00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:27.009
me that feels bad for OP for thinking that it

00:11:27.009 --> 00:11:28.970
was going to be something more. It's also kind

00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:32.070
of like, you know, play stupid games and like

00:11:32.070 --> 00:11:34.509
choose better. Yeah. Like, you can just tell

00:11:34.509 --> 00:11:36.929
when a guy's a dirtbag or not. Well, she's 24.

00:11:37.029 --> 00:11:40.590
He's 35. That's all you need to know. And she's

00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:43.090
like playing housewife, just cleaning his house

00:11:43.090 --> 00:11:45.450
while he's at a court appointment. She's for

00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:48.490
sure. She fell hard. She honored him bad. Yes.

00:11:49.210 --> 00:11:51.889
That's a good story, Joe. It was funny. I like,

00:11:52.190 --> 00:11:55.230
I looked at the other posts that OP has done

00:11:55.230 --> 00:11:57.769
and her life's a train wreck. No way. Like, she

00:11:57.769 --> 00:12:00.629
just, she just is a little bit of a crab magnet.

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:03.039
So if you want to go if you want to go find the

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.740
story search FYB gets caught lying to me Yeah,

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:09.960
you can go do your own deep dive. Oh, it's yeah

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.919
OP's a mess. Okay now on to my story. My husband

00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.000
doesn't know I dated his friend I told him we

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.179
just hooked up once we actually lived together

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:23.240
Yoinks, this has been eating me alive and I feel

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.580
like I'm going to implode if I don't say it somewhere

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.059
So I, 29F, have been married to my husband 31M

00:12:29.059 --> 00:12:32.000
for almost two years now. We've got a solid relationship,

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.840
good communication, real partnership, all that.

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:37.720
But there's this one thing I lied about early

00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.500
on, and it's honestly turned into a whole fake

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:42.879
history I've had to maintain, and now I don't

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.659
know how to undo it. The lie. I told my husband

00:12:45.659 --> 00:12:48.620
I once hooked up one time with this guy mate

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:50.700
when we were both drunk at a party in college.

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.820
That's not true. Nate and I dated for almost

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:57.200
two years. we lived together for almost one of

00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.759
them why did i lie? because when i first met

00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.100
my now husband we were just casually talking

00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:06.419
and nate came up in a story not in a bad way

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:08.379
just oh yeah i knew him from back in the day

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:10.279
my husband sort of locked and said nate was the

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.299
kind of guy who always dated crazy girls and

00:13:12.299 --> 00:13:14.480
how thank goodness they didn't hang out anymore

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.879
and i panicked so when it came up later that

00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.580
i knew nate i just said we'd hooked up once and

00:13:19.580 --> 00:13:23.139
it was super random and weird he barely blinked

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:25.980
album is Nate and I actually had a very real,

00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.639
very serious, extremely messy relationship. We

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:31.419
broke up because he cheated on me with someone

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:33.840
from his gym and I was in therapy for six months

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.019
after that. And now, well, my husband and Nate

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:40.059
are kind of friends again. Not like besties,

00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.879
but they see each other through mutual friends

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.460
and at work events and I live in constant fear

00:13:44.460 --> 00:13:46.779
of them talking too long. I've had to pretend

00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:49.679
I don't remember basic things about me. I forgot

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.679
in his sister's name, pretended I didn't know

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.259
he's allergic to shellfish, and even acted surprised

00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:56.480
when he showed up to a wedding and gave me a

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.139
hug. My husband said later, you seemed so awkward,

00:13:59.299 --> 00:14:01.860
it was hilarious. And I laughed along like it

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:04.080
was no big deal. But he's starting to piece things

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.659
together. The other night he asked, are you sure

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:09.940
you guys only hooked up once? I froze. I said,

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.539
yeah, why? And he just shrugged and said, Nate

00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:16.000
made a comment like we used to be pretty close.

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.080
I don't know what to do. I cannot believe I've

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.799
lied about something like this for this long.

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:23.120
It doesn't even matter anymore, like I'm obviously

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.799
married to someone else and Nate is ancient history.

00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.919
But I feel like if I come clean now, it'll feel

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.440
so much worse. Like it'll seem like I was hiding

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.559
something serious, which I guess I was. Every

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.620
time we go to a party where Nate might be, I

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:39.399
feel sick. My husband has no idea I still remember

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.899
the sound of Nate's laugh, or the way he used

00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:44.360
to leave his wet towel on the bed, or how we

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.059
adopted a cat together. that I had to re -home

00:14:47.059 --> 00:14:49.639
after the breakup. I'm exhausted from holding

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.559
this version of the truth up like a weird emotional

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.220
Jenga tower, but I can't bring myself to tell

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:57.879
her. So instead, I'm here just dumping this into

00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.720
the internet void. I guess I just wanted someone

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.220
to know. Dang. Yes. So this was on... What was

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:07.139
this on? This was on... It sounds like I threw

00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:09.659
off my chest. The truth shall set you free, OP.

00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.600
Will it? I don't know if it will now at this

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.500
point. It's like at this point, I don't know

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:17.240
what... What would you do if I finally told you?

00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:20.600
Yeah, that you had had a long relationship with

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.960
one of my friends. Best friends. I'd be like,

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:26.019
you're dumb for waiting this long to tell me

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:29.840
this. You'd be pissed. I would be a little bit

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.419
mad in the context of our lives, but not... It's

00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:35.500
like... That is something that shouldn't be that

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:38.419
big of a deal. It's your past. It's before you

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:41.320
were with the person. But the reason why she

00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.639
was like, oh, I don't I didn't want to just tell

00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.639
him right then and there is because he was just

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.399
crapping about all the girlfriends like, oh,

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:51.120
yeah, and all that Nate data were crazy. And

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.059
she's just trying to talk to this guy. And she's

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:58.320
like, Oh, that's I understand. But then it was

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.559
like, at that point, it's like, then what do

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.759
you do? I'm surprised Nate hasn't told him. Well,

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.659
and it sounds like it sounds like they're like

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:08.259
they're not truly like friends friends. They

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:11.200
run in the same circles Yeah, so I don't know

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.000
but I just think that it's the bottom line is

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.220
is brick Just tell him just get it off of your

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:20.200
chest because how mad could he be? It's just

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.960
dumb. It's a dumb thing to lie about Honestly,

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:29.360
really I think it's gonna be bad Wow, she lived

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.240
with him. Yeah two years is a long relationship

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:35.620
But here's the thing. Let me explain this. Just

00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:37.980
imagine if she came to him and she said, hey,

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:40.840
I have something I need to tell you. Here's why

00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.779
I didn't tell you before. Yeah. When I was going

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:45.980
to, you were talking about how Nate's dated a

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:48.519
bunch of crazies, blah, blah, blah. I didn't

00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.519
want you to think I was crazy, but I actually

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.960
dated him for a while. I've been holding this

00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.940
in because it goes back to that moment. Isn't

00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:58.940
that stupid? I'm sorry that I lied. And you'd

00:16:58.940 --> 00:17:01.889
be cool with it. I would be like... What the

00:17:01.889 --> 00:17:05.009
frick? Why, like, that is dumb. That's a dumb

00:17:05.009 --> 00:17:08.009
thing to lie about. Because it's before. It's

00:17:08.009 --> 00:17:10.470
not the same as violating the trust in a current

00:17:10.470 --> 00:17:14.829
relationship. Yes, I see. My brain would go to,

00:17:15.470 --> 00:17:17.849
like, what else are you lying to me about? Yeah,

00:17:18.109 --> 00:17:20.130
and that's... That's why there would just be

00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:22.710
so much there where it would be so hard to unpack

00:17:22.710 --> 00:17:25.170
rather than just being like, wow, that was dumb.

00:17:25.690 --> 00:17:29.319
Like, wait, you're like... It just looks so bad.

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.299
Right. It's like, that's it. That's a big deal

00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:34.279
that you are willing to lie about that. You have

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.680
a point. That's the way a lot of people's brains

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.380
work, where it's like, well, there has to be

00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:40.519
more. You have to be just a pathological liar

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.640
when clearly that doesn't necessarily have to

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.559
be the case. It can be something stupid and you

00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.240
just get in too deep. Talk about sticking with

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.619
your dang freaking story. Yeah, that's sticking

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:54.299
with your story, baby. Yeah. She says, I'm sinking

00:17:54.299 --> 00:17:57.559
with this ship. She needs to sticker you. she

00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.839
does it should be what's with the sticker say

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.079
on it like I wanted to tell the truth but I'm

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.799
weak this is the perfect time for me to place

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.660
my first sticker you sticker on my favorite little

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:11.460
I don't you call this thing it's kind of like

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:16.980
a koozie but better oh like a dream no air bubbles

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:22.700
looks perfect how we doing how we doing And it's

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:25.240
waterproof. I need to mention that. Let's go.

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:26.880
I don't ever need to wash this because it's just

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.099
a koozie. I just stick a can in it, but... Let

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:32.039
me see it. Cheers. Looks freaking bomb. Cute.

00:18:32.339 --> 00:18:35.420
So cute. Love you. Love you, sticker you. I think

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:37.779
it's your turn, Joe. Tell you what. Let me read.

00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.619
I'm excited since the next one. I feel like you're

00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:42.579
going to come out with a banger right now. Hey,

00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.480
don't act like I didn't just tell you that off

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.380
wax. What does that mean? Off wax? That's a term

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:50.599
for like what's going to be cut out. It's like

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:52.609
the... what's not going to be included in the

00:18:52.609 --> 00:18:56.250
podcast where the heck did you learn that lingo

00:18:56.250 --> 00:18:59.089
listen i've listened podcast far longer than

00:18:59.089 --> 00:19:01.950
i've created them that's that's a tribute to

00:19:01.950 --> 00:19:03.869
jalen and jacoby only the real ones are going

00:19:03.869 --> 00:19:06.529
to know that's that's that's a podcast that hasn't

00:19:06.529 --> 00:19:10.230
been around for a while okay it's uh it's been

00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:16.529
created and gone and died all right this one

00:19:16.529 --> 00:19:20.509
comes from am i the a -hole And you reacted to

00:19:20.509 --> 00:19:22.210
this when I did the preview in the beginning.

00:19:23.329 --> 00:19:25.029
So yeah, let's see if you stick to your side

00:19:25.029 --> 00:19:27.630
of the story. Am I the a -hole? My mom is upset

00:19:27.630 --> 00:19:30.069
because I lied to her and asked her to keep a

00:19:30.069 --> 00:19:33.829
secret and then gaslit her about it. Now listen,

00:19:34.109 --> 00:19:36.349
this story is not what it sounds like. OP is

00:19:36.349 --> 00:19:39.829
a genius. My mom, 46, loves to gossip. I wish

00:19:39.829 --> 00:19:42.480
she didn't, but she does. I try my best not to

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.740
participate but sometimes she tells me stuff

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:46.619
I would rather not know. I was having a rough

00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:48.660
time after a breakup with my boyfriend and I

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:50.380
made the mistake of talking to her about it.

00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:52.480
Basically, my boyfriend decided that he preferred

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:54.920
a close friend of mine to me. She told him to

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.160
get effed and he tried coming back to me saying

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:59.440
he made a mistake and all that. Seriously, eff

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.849
that guy. Next thing I know, my aunt is texting

00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:05.190
me to ask me about this friend who stole my man.

00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:08.130
That wasn't what happened. I asked my mom WTF

00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:10.470
and she said she was just talking the situation

00:20:10.470 --> 00:20:12.650
over with her sister. I very clearly told her

00:20:12.650 --> 00:20:14.970
not to discuss my personal life that I told her

00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:17.289
about with anyone else. If I want them to know,

00:20:17.309 --> 00:20:19.710
I will tell them. She said I was taking it too

00:20:19.710 --> 00:20:23.490
seriously, but agreed. She did it again and again.

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.880
I am now done with her BS. I'm graduating from

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.019
college in June. I already have a great job lined

00:20:29.019 --> 00:20:30.759
up with the company that I've interned with.

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.519
I have a plan for my future. I was talking to

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.740
my mom recently and she was prying into my life.

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.759
I told her why I wasn't interested in talking

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.839
to her about anything personal. She started crying

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.140
about how she was a terrible mother and can't

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:45.759
do anything right. I'm used to her manipulation

00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.079
now, so I just waited it out. After she calmed

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:50.940
down, I told her that I actually had some big

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:53.220
stuff going down in my life. but that I would

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:55.960
hate her forever if she told anyone. She promised

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.079
that she wouldn't tell a soul. I told her I was

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.700
pregnant and might need to drop out, but that

00:21:01.700 --> 00:21:04.200
I was happy about it. After she lost her crap,

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:06.119
she said she would support me no matter what

00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.299
and that she would keep my secret until I decided

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:10.339
what I was going to do. I know it's a cliche,

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:13.039
but my phone did blow up. Relatives and friends

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.220
all calling to check in on me and see how I was

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:46.380
doing and if I needed anything. Oh. Oh my gosh.

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:48.779
She is pissed about it and thinks I'm gaslighting

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:51.339
her, which I suppose I am. But I feel bad now

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:54.079
that everyone thinks she is lying and she can't

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:59.880
prove otherwise. Am I the a -hole? No. No. No.

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:04.259
I love it. I am so for OP right now. That's hilarious.

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:08.380
100%. And so are the comments. Everyone says

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:14.980
NTA. Oh, I'm on the piece of work. They need

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:17.400
the gossip, they need to swirl stuff around.

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.920
It's like, that's your child, dude. I know. Can

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.059
you just hold down the fort for her? You don't

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:27.099
need to go and tell whoever, Aunt Denise. You

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:31.400
often Aunt Denise. You can't just go just telling

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.619
everybody about what's going on. That's not cool.

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:39.990
But so good of OP. to literally have the fortitude,

00:22:40.089 --> 00:22:41.730
have the thought to go through with something

00:22:41.730 --> 00:22:44.470
like this. Yeah. It's clever. First and foremost,

00:22:44.569 --> 00:22:46.750
she's like, watch this go around. And then she

00:22:46.750 --> 00:22:49.930
just little fire, little fires everywhere. The

00:22:49.930 --> 00:22:52.509
mom saying all this BS. And now she's like, wait,

00:22:52.509 --> 00:22:53.990
what? She's like, look, I'm going to be starting

00:22:53.990 --> 00:22:56.569
my great job soon. After I graduate, everything's

00:22:56.569 --> 00:22:58.190
fine. What are you talking about? Who told you

00:22:58.190 --> 00:23:00.869
that? That's so good. Which makes her mom look

00:23:00.869 --> 00:23:02.529
like a buffoon, but that's what she deserves.

00:23:02.730 --> 00:23:04.670
Yes, she totally deserves that lesson learned

00:23:04.670 --> 00:23:07.619
right there, lady. That's it. So don't. Don't

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:10.980
be that person. Don't be, don't be chitchat and

00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:13.880
don't be gossiping. I say OP sticks to that story

00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:17.359
forever. Forever and ever. Amen. That's so good.

00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.640
No, but for reals, that's - Oh, I love that story.

00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.000
Not much - Great one. Not much to discuss on

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.240
it other than thank you, OP, for putting that

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.880
in my life. No, literally. That was so good.

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:30.380
Okay, so somebody did say this. NTA and keep

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:32.640
doing it. Try to see how effed up it has to be

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:35.400
before she stops spreading gossip. And then somebody

00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:38.180
responded and said, a few suggestions. Mom, I'm

00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:41.240
dying of cerebral cancer. I got six months extra

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.400
due to surgery and the brain surgeon asked me

00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:49.240
out for drinks. Mom, I'm getting married in two

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.700
weeks to my step cousin. He's from Japan, so

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:53.539
we'll be moving there in about three months.

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.740
Oh my gosh. Mom, I ran over a dog. After I took

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:59.640
it to the vet, the owner asked for my hand in

00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:04.430
marriage. By the way, I'm gay. Mom, I DUI'd and

00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:07.930
hit a man. We're now engaged. Just somebody just

00:24:07.930 --> 00:24:09.950
giving all these recommendations for here's all

00:24:09.950 --> 00:24:12.150
the asinine things you should tell your mom.

00:24:12.269 --> 00:24:15.829
That's so dumb. No, I thought hers was the best.

00:24:16.089 --> 00:24:19.490
She did great. Okay, so my story is off true

00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:22.690
off my chest. I married my same gender best friend,

00:24:22.990 --> 00:24:25.730
even though we're both straight. My wife slash

00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:28.559
best friend, Annie. is self -employed, works

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:30.819
freelance, and as a result has struggled getting

00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:33.539
steady health insurance in the past. Four years

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:35.619
ago she had a health scare and because I had

00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:38.880
somewhat decent insurance through my job we said

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.700
F it and got married. Thankfully the health scare

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:44.059
was just a scare and we're both healthy. Three

00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:46.559
years ago we said F it again and decided to buy

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.099
an apartment together. It's small and shitty

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:51.299
but there's no way we could afford anything on

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:53.440
our own so it's nothing to really complain about.

00:24:53.769 --> 00:24:56.349
We have separate rooms and we still sort of casually

00:24:56.349 --> 00:24:59.130
date but we talked it over and decided to commit

00:24:59.130 --> 00:25:02.230
to being married. We love each other, we've lived

00:25:02.230 --> 00:25:04.670
together, and we're happy. So does it really

00:25:04.670 --> 00:25:07.509
matter that we're not gay? We haven't decided

00:25:07.509 --> 00:25:09.769
if we're having children yet but we have decided

00:25:09.769 --> 00:25:12.269
that if we are we're having them together not

00:25:12.269 --> 00:25:14.990
with a man. Everyone our like is really confused

00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:17.390
about our marriage and I guess to some extent

00:25:17.390 --> 00:25:20.349
so are we but this seems like a don't fix what

00:25:20.349 --> 00:25:22.980
ain't broke situation. I don't know what it means

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:25.380
to be platonically married, I know we're not

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:28.200
gay but we're also more than friends. I've honestly

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.779
never been this happy my entire life and the

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:32.920
love I have for this woman pales in comparison

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:34.940
to the ways I've felt about boyfriends in the

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:38.140
past. And before the best pal jokes start pouring

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:40.720
in, I've never in my life been sexually aroused

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.940
by a woman and I very much find men hot. Guess

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:46.420
this is just my PSA to all of you that you can

00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:49.200
live life however you want and there's no universal

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.549
formula for a good life. I am shook. I don't

00:25:52.549 --> 00:25:55.410
know how to comprehend this. This actually reminds

00:25:55.410 --> 00:25:58.089
me, one of my homies that was on my golf team

00:25:58.089 --> 00:26:01.190
in Montana, I'm not going to say his name, but

00:26:01.190 --> 00:26:02.869
if you ever were to find this, you would know.

00:26:04.230 --> 00:26:06.630
His marriage was very difficult and he was talking

00:26:06.630 --> 00:26:09.289
about getting a divorce and he was like, bro,

00:26:09.430 --> 00:26:12.130
if that ever happens, you and I, we could get

00:26:12.130 --> 00:26:16.049
married just for tax benefits. I remember him

00:26:16.049 --> 00:26:17.710
bringing that up and me being like, yeah, dude,

00:26:17.710 --> 00:26:20.329
that's funny. but like you're already married

00:26:20.329 --> 00:26:22.769
at that point no and he was saying like if i

00:26:22.769 --> 00:26:24.930
was to ever go through something similar he made

00:26:24.930 --> 00:26:27.650
he like his whole joke was like we'll get a divorce

00:26:27.650 --> 00:26:30.170
and then let's get married for the benefit it

00:26:30.170 --> 00:26:34.390
was like already have tax benefits and and like

00:26:34.390 --> 00:26:36.369
stress -free living is what he was trying to

00:26:36.369 --> 00:26:41.430
say so like this yeah do you yes yeah and he's

00:26:41.430 --> 00:26:43.690
already he's already divorced and remarried no

00:26:43.690 --> 00:26:47.130
way yeah but you're a girl to a girl no and like

00:26:47.130 --> 00:26:50.089
you're missing the point that it's funny it's

00:26:50.089 --> 00:26:52.130
like a joke it's not something that's serious

00:26:52.130 --> 00:26:54.670
it's unless it is I guess I guess that's a thing

00:26:54.670 --> 00:26:57.650
instead of like friends with benefits it's married

00:26:57.650 --> 00:27:00.250
with health benefits pretty much that's like

00:27:00.250 --> 00:27:03.390
yeah I can't help but think that there's something

00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:06.190
more between them though well she said she said

00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:08.809
I love this woman and she's like the way that

00:27:08.809 --> 00:27:11.890
she feels about her pales in comparison but nothing

00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:14.700
sexual. Like she's not aroused by her. She just

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:16.660
loves her, loves being with her. I wonder how

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:19.000
common that is. Like is that a thing? We just

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.640
don't even realize it. People are out there living

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.380
and they're just married to their to their homie.

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.680
That's actually a really good thought. There's

00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.099
gotta be so many out there. A decent amount.

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:33.000
There has to be. At least they're living in like

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:35.680
harmony rather than the couples that get married

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.740
that are physically and emotionally like in love,

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:41.589
you know? But then eventually they like grow

00:27:41.589 --> 00:27:43.930
apart and they're living together, but they're

00:27:43.930 --> 00:27:45.869
like hate each other. Yeah. We're not living

00:27:45.869 --> 00:27:48.049
harmony anymore, but they're still honestly living

00:27:48.049 --> 00:27:52.470
as just friends. So I don't know. That's wild

00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:55.710
though. But yeah, this story, I was like, wow,

00:27:55.730 --> 00:28:00.009
I never really thought about that before. Could

00:28:00.009 --> 00:28:02.130
you think of, could you think of ever doing that?

00:28:02.269 --> 00:28:06.029
If you, let's just say I fell off the face of

00:28:06.029 --> 00:28:09.329
the earth. I died and you're single. and you

00:28:09.329 --> 00:28:11.210
have a friend that you get along with really

00:28:11.210 --> 00:28:14.150
well. You guys both have good jobs, but like

00:28:14.150 --> 00:28:16.609
it would just be easier. It's almost like a roommate

00:28:16.609 --> 00:28:20.470
situation where instead of just being roommates,

00:28:20.470 --> 00:28:22.950
you have the added benefit. Everything that comes

00:28:22.950 --> 00:28:25.029
with marriage, filing taxes together, health

00:28:25.029 --> 00:28:27.210
insurance, all that. Is there anybody that you

00:28:27.210 --> 00:28:29.710
could think of that you could live with, coexist

00:28:29.710 --> 00:28:31.390
with? And if you want to go out on dates, go

00:28:31.390 --> 00:28:33.170
ahead. They don't care because they're not gay.

00:28:33.670 --> 00:28:38.869
Yeah. Well, I would not marry them, so no. So

00:28:38.869 --> 00:28:40.630
you wouldn't, and it's, it's because you don't

00:28:40.630 --> 00:28:42.670
care about the tax benefits or the financial

00:28:42.670 --> 00:28:44.789
benefits. I wouldn't want to marry. I wouldn't

00:28:44.789 --> 00:28:48.529
want to marry them at all. Well, and that's,

00:28:48.589 --> 00:28:51.130
yeah, it's, it's just a non -traditional view.

00:28:51.170 --> 00:28:53.289
I would, I would live with the girl, like as

00:28:53.289 --> 00:28:56.130
roommates and I have one friend in mind. I totally

00:28:56.130 --> 00:29:01.490
would. Other than that, no, but I wouldn't marry

00:29:01.490 --> 00:29:05.250
them. If I, if, so let's say you, whatever, we're

00:29:05.250 --> 00:29:08.109
out of the picture. I would love to not have

00:29:08.109 --> 00:29:11.730
a roommate at all and so if that was a possibility

00:29:11.730 --> 00:29:14.269
then that's what I'm going for but dang you'd

00:29:14.269 --> 00:29:16.789
have to you have to be making lots of money I'll

00:29:16.789 --> 00:29:21.430
make it happen okay no I could I could never

00:29:21.430 --> 00:29:24.109
do it either I'm way too way too traditionally

00:29:24.109 --> 00:29:27.730
minded there's no possible way no I couldn't

00:29:27.730 --> 00:29:29.809
I obviously I could have a roommate if I needed

00:29:29.809 --> 00:29:33.369
to but I would not I get sick of people. Yeah,

00:29:33.369 --> 00:29:35.369
I would prefer not to have a roommate and we

00:29:35.369 --> 00:29:37.269
have a daughter so it's like I would want just

00:29:37.269 --> 00:29:40.349
my space with me and my kid, but weekfully you're

00:29:40.349 --> 00:29:43.349
not going anywhere anytime soon, right? Right.

00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:48.009
