sometimes it's kind of great to be like be good but also there's plenty of ways to disguise your

i have a question i am worried my friend and i are fighting you could put it in tiktok you know
now it's like rocket voice there's different voices so just put on tiktok yeah don't post
the video to tiktok you know save it to your account but you can put type it out if you're
writing it down you already have it typed out paste it in there and then just play it there
you go i do like the from guardians of the galaxy the rocket boys doing it it's very funny um so
what's up with you i got my hair done as you can see and if you're watching you can see and if you
followed me on instagram and looked at my stories you would have seen me naked butt ass naked
yesterday do you not see it no is it still up it's probably gone by now well also this is a good time
to promo the patreon if you want to see how hot we are and how great melissa's hair looks i never
i have taken no nudes in my life except for like stupid ones they're not sexy they're like funny
but like i need to take nudes like i need to like i want to look back and be like look at you
you hot bitch and we just start doing that i posted and then later isa ray posted a picture
of her naked and i was like obviously she wants to be just like me yeah no you're you're an
influencer you influenced her she looked at my stories she did she was like i need to go do this
and she rips her clothes off and she has yours pulled up on her ipad so she can see a big screen
how do i do this that's so funny so and then also i'm just you know i've been talking about this for
weeks i'm excited about people not being able to contact me for three days and so i haven't watched
adele's special yet that she did with oprah and so i want to i'm going to take an edible i don't
fuck with edibles and i can't smoke because of my lungs i'm too queasy edibles or do not do well
with my stomach they had a sale the other day from a company that i like get delivery for for
cookies and it was like four dollars for 10 cookies so i have about and you have to do a
minimum order oh my god something so i have about a hundred cookies holy fuck but they're you know
in plastic bags so oh that's good okay at that time you're solid you can freeze them too probably
I'm probably going to sneak some in my bag and take them to my friends and loved ones.
Happy holidays.
So I'm going to have an edible, watch Adele's special, also get caught up on Housewives.
While I bought a light bright from Target the other day.
And for those of you that don't know, light bright is so back in the 90s when I originally had one, it was this big kind of like an old school TV type thing.
and you had to put a light bulb in the back oh yeah and it would get really hot but it was like
my favorite thing to do because you put like this little piece of paper on a screen and then poke
the little they look like christmas light yeah it's like a peg board kind of looking thing you
peg it and it's color coordinated and so this is what and i bought the new version of it which is
more just like a flat screen like updated tvs and you don't have to put batteries in the back
and they'll light up and so i'm very excited about this i'm excited for you like that is like
as soon as you're like i got a light bright i'm like you gotta get high too there's a light bright
you're an adult that is so funny well i'm excited for you i still also need to watch adele's special
i have not watched it yet we just started i have this issue with tv shows where like i don't like
i don't like in general i don't like ending things like i don't like things to end yeah it took me
like three years to finish how to get away with murder i still have like orphan black i still
just have the last episode left of that i'm exactly the same way so like i have like the
last two or three episodes of criminal minds left like we have the last two episodes of modern
family left i like sat on like the final like 50 pages of the last harry potter book for like a
week and i was like i don't want to finish it but i wouldn't leave my room because i want someone
to spoil it for me like i don't like things ending we basically for brooklyn 99 the final
season we restarted the season at the start of the new season because i was like i want to watch
all of the other episodes to prepare
because it's like a very short,
it's like nine episodes for the final season.
So that's what we've been doing.
And we've been watching that.
Have you started the newest season yet?
Yeah.
Okay.
I thought they did a really good job with Lives Matter.
I thought that it was like,
I think I also went into it with a preconceived notion
of like seeing everyone talk about it.
It kind of felt like a pilot all over to me again.
Like the first episode had so much
like setting the stage context kind of thing.
that it felt a little clunky but then episode two i thought was like great episode three i thought
was great i just thought like the first one back like but at the same time i'm like how do you do
it to do it in some type of way but they also had to address like covid too so like it just felt
like i know if it was a streaming service they would have done a 45 or an hour episode and they
had to fit it all in like a very short time frame when they aired it though they aired both episode
one and two together that might have way more sense yes it was aired as one episode way way
more sense but i'm like very pleasantly surprised because it's a show about cops and one thing that
they've done which i think is like important is like throughout the whole show they have shown
and discussed every different kind of policing so like they didn't really have an out not that i
would think that they would do this based on like the creators and like just the show and in general
but they didn't really have an out for like other policing shows it can be like well we hate like
criminal minds like it's like well like criminal minds hates like cop cops but they're detectives
and they're in like a special unit and so they're like seen as like othered and better than them but
like for nine nine they've shown like beat cops like detect they've done everything and showed
like they don't really have one to be like oh we're better than this kind of thing we're the
exception to this so i was interested to see how they were going to handle it because it's a cop
show that it's clearly not written by people who are pro policing so i think it's like doing very
good now that we're into like more of the episodes i mean i know it's already over but i'm sad for
me when i was watching the the last episode i didn't know it was the last episode but when you
watch it you like you'll you'll be like oh this is the end yeah and so it just caught me off guard
because I was like I didn't realize how short the season was I was just watching I was like this
feels like a finale finale oh it is yeah so I'm liking it that's what we've been doing yeah with
Modern Family since that last season they thought the season before was going to be the last season
so it's kind of it's very weird drawn out and weird it is I I made mods check like four times
in the season before the last i was like are you sure this is not what they thought and then abc
was like nope we want one more season yeah and it's like okay let's do it then oh i was gonna
ask you one other thing this is so irrelevant would you have sex with p davidson i don't think
so you don't think so no i think it's my right as a woman to have sex with p davidson i think he is
an attractive man but if we're going to talk about age gaps oh how old is he he's like 28
eight and Kim Kardashian's 41. It's a big age gap. It is a big age gap. I don't think I want to.
He's a homie hopper. He is a homie hopper, but not dating him. Just having sex with him. No,
I don't think I'd want to have sex with him. Okay. Well, I have one less person of competition.
We do constantly need people that neither of us want to have sex with. I am not sexually
attracted to him. Yeah. Fair. He was written by a woman. And like, I just feel like it is my
duty. Not even my duty. I think it's my right as a woman is to want to have sex with Pete David.
like he just doesn't look like he smells good to me i don't disagree but that also doesn't turn me
off in this rather sleep with timothy chalamet you're pete davidson hitting me here's the thing
i can't even find an argument because they are both scrawny white boys in different fonts
and one of them just does it and the other one like it is like a visceral reaction that i'm like
no no offense timothy chalamet but like no i want my skinny white boys to be like i don't want them
to be like artsy and pretentious like no i need like a face tattoo or like a neck tactic i don't
want not machine gun kelly so what do i even like i don't know look at us hey look at us well um
what a great ketchup hope you all enjoyed that ketchup do you want to hear i really sound like
i was saying ketchup like as in and mustard kits so cats up cats up if you didn't skip ahead and
you're not like get to the fucking advice and you like hearing us talk you should go listen to our
other podcasts but am i wrong every thursday we talk about who's wrong and who's not but i won't
keep promoing that our update didn't show we've been stood up and we are just going to hop into
the calls and pew pew pew and we promise updates are coming soon we just have switched it we're
now going to be doing updates on weekends because people can't really do it during the week
and um we thought we were going to be able to get it today i mean we had two people scheduled
and one is understandable yeah the other one i just need you all to read time zones yeah come
on it's hard sometimes i do it too though but it was an email and text it was it was so it's fine
we'll talk to them again but um we're gonna get into the calls hi megan and melissa i'm calling
after just being dumped by my boyfriend of seven years and kind of wanted to get your advice so
So, like I said, she, her pronouns, and him, pronouns for my ex.
We were dating for seven years.
Now, this morning, he went to work like he usually does.
And then, on my way to my work, I received a text message saying how some dude is following me.
Some dude on Instagram that apparently he doesn't like.
Now, I'm not following that dude, and he can see that I'm not following that dude.
So, I explained that to him.
I didn't know he was following me.
I'm not following him, but if you'd like for me, I'll blog him, situation dealt with.
He continues to be upset and replies, if I want to play these quote-unquote games, then to go ahead.
I replied to him, letting him know that I'm not playing any games, and, you know, we're adults here.
We'll talk about it when we get home.
Well, I'm here for him all day today, and get home, he's not here.
Yeah, so he gets home around 1 a.m.
he started packing all his stuff
and we get into an argument
and pretty much
that's how I haven't been there for him
and how I haven't
been the best partner
and pretty much he starts
piling all this stuff on me which by the way
what an asshole right
anyway part of the story is
what do I do
how do I get over a breakup
of somebody that I've been with for 7 years
knowing that I did nothing wrong
he literally broke up with me
because of a guy that's following me on instagram and now he took up all the stuff that he has from
our home and he left and now he won't talk to me so what should i do should i try to fight for this
relationship or just kind of move on thank you so much and i hope you can help bye-bye oh my god i
feel so bad okay i this might be a hot take and also feel free to disregard this this is not like
helpful for you at all to me this seems like he's done something nefarious and he just broke up with
you instead of totally like tell not to like again that is yes i am jumping to conclusions and all of
this but like the reaction from the information you gave us the reaction does not warrant the
action like the the action does not warrant this reaction and this is seems so wild and definitive
and like dramatic and also like the sheer lack of communication seven years and like you seem
so blindsided by it that to me it's like sometimes when people like attack you for doing things it's
those the things that they are doing and to me I'm like did you cheat or have you had thoughts
of cheating and then you see this you decide to cast you caller in the light that he has put him
like what he has done and then retaliates and then like treats this as like an easy way out
so he doesn't have to tell you but that's like me jumping to a lot of conclusions but it does
not add up agree this seems very out of the blue and he's just using it as an excuse to dip yeah
like either things have been piling up and this was just like the last you know thing that broke
or he's done something and using this as his his out but he's placing the blame on you
because he's trying to alleviate his own guilt yeah either way no a hundred percent like it could
be that he has the feelings he has had has changed and have lost and instead of reconciling
with that himself losing feelings for someone doesn't make you a bad person but like a lot of
people feel that way and so instead of addressing the guilt that comes with that he's just going to
make you the villain and lash out at you but this is about him and like i mean i can't tell you what
to do but my opinion yeah don't reconcile with him don't try and kind of like make this work at all
because this is not what you do to someone after seven years it's not and like if this is how
someone's going to handle the end of a relationship after all of this time i don't see the point of
trying to work through forward with this because that would be coming from you not him being like
hey i really want to work through this no that's taking on way too much and i just think you'll
end up disappointed again because you're taking the initiative not him but this is like wild and
you live together live together it's been seven years that's a lot that's more than mott's and
I have been together. It's a lot of time to be invested into the relationship and just
leaving over something that is so out of your own control. Somebody following you is not in
your control. And then him getting mad about it. So something else was going on. Yeah, something
else is definitely going on. So I don't think you even need to get to the bottom of what was going
on. I mean, it's obviously not my life. So I can't tell you because I'm also like, chronically
curious whatever the reasoning behind it as much as it feels like it's going to be so instrumental
in getting over him it's not like we think we assign a lot of like we talk about closure here
a lot but we assign a lot of value in uh knowing all of like said information so then we can process
and handle it in a certain way as somebody who's been there in like the i need to know everything
in situation and my therapist says that like what i do that is i intellectualize my feeling so i
think if I can know everything then I'll know how to feel and she's like well that's not what feeling
is like you just have to fucking feel it like do you feel like sad do you feel happy do you feel
angry like you don't need to have a justification or something that's going to change your
instinctual reactions to things so I say that you reach out to like a close friend if you have
somebody or a family member who you can either stay with or can come stay with you so you don't
if you aren't really wanting to have kind of alone time in this place that you have lived
together with him, blocking him on everything. And like the biggest advice I can have is like
when you're going through something like this is like starting a hobby and like not as like a means
of distraction, but as a means of doing something for myself that is only about me that I like,
because I have to decide that I like this thing and that I want to do this thing. It forces you
to like prioritize yourself
because you're doing something for you.
And I think it's an easier way
to kind of let those feelings of processing grief
and heartbreak come through
as opposed to throwing yourself into work
where you're essentially performing
and working for somebody else
that it can just help you to put yourself first
and be a little selfish in all of this.
And then I would, yeah,
not answer his phone calls if he calls.
Like this makes me so mad.
you have to deal with being sad confused and mad you know yeah like it's a lot of feelings to
process and handle at one time be patient with yourself and knowing that like a heartbreak like
really really really sucks and like it's really hard it's gonna suck for a while and then
eventually it's gonna suck a little less and then a little less and a little less and there's no
real like formula to that except time and working through it I'm so sorry I'm so mad at him it's
like not how you treat people no well once you get reach a certain level of like relationship
like you owe me something of all the people in the world that you owe something to like I am
one of them and like this is unacceptable yeah and you think that you get to a certain point where
like you've kind of dodged it you know I mean yeah you've avoided it was gonna happen later
down the road but it's also like they live together is he gone i don't know if you guys
have a mortgage or rent there's just so many like you're still gonna have to be in contact with him
at some point i mean i would have a friend facilitate all of that but yeah what did he
just leave you high and dry for like finding someone to take who's on the lease right if he's
just on the lease then i would just leave and then leave him to deal with like pain whatever
hi Megan Melissa I am 22 I use she her pronouns the guy I'm going to be talking about uses he
him pronouns so I met this guy when we were both living up in Alaska um and we hooked up it was
really good but there weren't feelings there really for me there were some red flags and we
like both agreed that we were just like keeping it casual you know and we both left after a month
like of seeing each other but after that we still talked a lot like texting and there were some
kind of feelings there developing on my part um we had kind of started joking about him coming to
visit and then it got more serious and he ended up coming to visit um and it'd been like I think
a month or a month and a half a week is a long time to spend with someone after not knowing them
for really all that long there were some things that I really kind of didn't like that itched me
a little bit and you know still a fun visit still a fun trip for sure but now it's been a month
since then and with nothing like planned and like coming up my like feelings are kind of gone now
again there's some things that I'm not a big fan of and I just yeah the feelings are kind of faded
away what I wanted to ask is I don't know like how to end it I haven't ever had to like be the
one to like end a situation like this and he still has feelings for me and he like talks about how
much he misses me and like stuff like that I never know what to say and then my other problem is I am
very much the type of person that likes to cut off contact when I end something or like break up with
someone because that's how I get over it and I know that he is not like that and that he's going
to want to still talk and stay in touch so I don't know how to like nicely say please never talk to
me again because he's like a nice guy and i don't want to hurt his feelings too bad i know it's
gonna do it either way but i don't know i just kind of need advice on how to like end this
situation that i've gotten myself into thanks love you guys bye i truly wish it was acceptable
to say please never talk to me again why is it not acceptable you know like i mean in every context
i wish there was no hard feelings in that you know but you can't control people's feelings
no but your feelings here are you don't want to be in association with this you called the perfect
yes so i would simply either ghost or say hey i think you're an all right person
but you're not somebody that i would like to date and also since this isn't that serious you can send
it in a text message i believe oh my god yeah they never even crossed my mind that you would
do this on the phone or facetime like this is text yes this is fully a text here's the thing
here's what i would do the nicest way i think to do this in a way that i would do it so it's not
like the nicest way that it's nice as i would do is i would initiate a conversation of hey i just
wanted to reach out and i just want to be really honest with you you know it was really fun seeing
you and like I had fun like in Alaska but I just my feelings have just like changed and I am not
interested in pursuing anything with you and I want to be honest with you I don't want to like
lead you on and I think that you're great and you're gonna find someone who is like really
great for you that's just not me and then if he tries to hang out with you and like be your friend
as long as you don't say let's say friends stay friends or he said let's stay friends that's all
you want no but then you are allowed to not respond to anything he says ever again you know
what i mean unless there's an assumption created by him or you that like you're gonna maintain a
friendship and you're gonna still talk just don't respond and you know i've done this before where
it's like i'll just respond to like every three text like third text message or i'll just like
like a message but like this is something that like you don't owe him anything yeah once you
cut it off just cut it off you know yeah if you think about it this way like when I think about
ghosting to like make myself feel better if someone wants to come after me which to be fair
I have really no remorse about ghosting like I'm doing what works for me but I am also doing what's
best for you because like here's the thing if I don't like you anymore I'm not going to fake that
to you I'm not going to be like me not responding to your text message bitch you you should be
happy that I have not refused I mean like it's like if you know that I don't want to spend any
time with you then why are you trying to push anything more yeah no it's just like you heard
me the first time like this is I don't want to pursue any of this and like gives like that I
know better than you like I'm just gonna like stick around and kind of be there I'm like this
is like really embarrassing for you like this is really cringy and I just don't want to and like
you shouldn't want to hang spend time with me this just feels like you're trying to win or conquer or
like change my mind there's also nothing wrong with if ghosting feels too extreme for you first
of all ghost for a week like a trial run just like don't respond if you like response for a week
then see how you feel afterwards because usually the guilt is like a 24 hour usually like three
hour thing and if you can get past that week you're like i can just never respond again yeah
because sometimes it's worse to like keep those like pleasantries and like night like those things
i think that's worse as long as you're not mean when you're ghosting how are you being mean if
you're not talking to him in the goodbye in the please never talk to me again text yeah you know
that's it and you like you're not in a relationship you don't own anything yeah i mean they're long
distance it's literally an alaska hookup and also they mostly text anyway so there is an issue with
when you have like a destination dick appointment and then you bring that domestic alaska is part
of america i was trying to keep the d's i was trying to keep the d's to keep it down home i
don't know but the shine and the shimmer of that kind of faith naturally yeah best of luck let us
know how it goes please yeah all right let's take a break
okay we are back from our break and we're getting to the rest of the calls
hey megan and melissa i was a previous caller from season 6 episode 16 i was the girl whose
boyfriend didn't tell her about his past sexual history with his best friend we were both still
together and now both 28 and more than a year into the long distance i mentioned i gave him a
past because of the confusion we had in our first few months of dating about whether or not we would
stay together when he went to school. She eventually stopped being friends with that girl
because I wasn't able to get over the way it made me uncomfortable, but we have had, for the most
part, a great relationship since. I'm not calling about a separate issue that has come up that took
place during those first confusing months. During that time, he went on a trip with his friends from
college to New York City. His friends bought him lots of shots because of an old bet they had
and he ended up blacking out and sharing a bed with a different friend that was a girl.
This girl is his best guy friend's sister, and he told me about it the first night he got back.
I was pissed that he insisted she was like his sister and has never had any interest.
I also asked if he was naked, because he always sleeps naked,
and when you're blackout, you'd probably just do what you're used to.
He said no, he wasn't, and I struggled with it, but decided it was probably nothing.
Fast forward to last week, almost two years later, and those friends are in town,
and the girl jokes about them all having seen him naked at some point.
He was pretty wild in college, so I was kind of hoping it was then,
but had him ask her later for clarification over text
because he said he had no idea when she would have.
She responded that it was the weekend in New York City,
the night they shared the bed,
and that he also tried to have sex with her,
but she stalked him by slapping him and telling him to turn over.
I could tell as he was reading the text,
he was just as shocked and horrified as I was.
She cried and begged for my forgiveness
and even said he would stop drinking.
He said he would do anything to keep this relationship.
I'm struggling because while he kept things for me in the past, I can't say this is a lie because he clearly had no memory of it.
I'm also confused because while we had been seeing each other for months, we had not officially decided what we were at this point.
I was also supposed to be on that trip and in that bed that canceled last minute.
I don't know if I can consider it cheating.
They didn't have sex and we weren't sure what we were.
He has changed a lot in the past two years.
He doesn't have much contact with these friends and never even really gets drunk.
He has not blacked out since.
I am heartbroken, but I feel like we've come so far to let something that he wasn't aware he did when he was a different person end it all now.
We are also only six months from long distance ending.
Should I separate it in my head and try to move on or am I being dumb?
I appreciate your advice.
I don't think that you're being dumb.
I think you're trying to see the best in the situation because it did happen over two years
ago your relationship has been fine ish other than him lying about hooking up with this friend
which was before you guys were dating well it wasn't really a lie he just hadn't told you with
his friend and also you guys weren't dating at this time I think this is a complicated situation
I don't because just before you continue here's the thing he's saying that he didn't know but
the second he came home from that trip he told her I got blackout drunk we slept in the same bed
and I promise you my clothes were on if this like surprise I had no idea any of this how was he so
definite in what he did know to then immediately tell her he was so drunk other people told him
and other people told him what actually happened and then he lied about it to her I mean when he
woke up he knew he didn't have clothes on when he came he knew he didn't have clothes on I'm just
more so that they weren't dating yeah they weren't dating I mean they were dating but they
weren't exclusive at the time I want to know the timeline how this coincided with the other
original call about the other girl and also the shock on you on his face it could have been the
fact that you were reading the text message at the same time he was and the information was put
in a text message not that he was shocked because he didn't know it was happened it was more so he
was shocked that now you were seen would actually happen i also just have a very hard time believing
that like this girl would bring it up for the first time ever none of them have ever discussed
it they're in front of you if she didn't want you to know i think that's why she brought it up
and when you have like a fucking crazy blackout night you wake up naked you're in the bed with
your friends like sister but also he did try to hook up with her too that's what i'm saying like
pushed him the next day they would all talk about that like that's what you that's what you do and
like I just think that like he went out of his way to lie early on about like no she's like my sister
like no nothing like that and being like so sure when he didn't have to be because you weren't
dating and that to me that's a red flag that it's like I would rather you have like done this and
then just like fully told me absolutely everything because yeah like we weren't dating you actually
didn't owe me that like i can make the choice if i want to continue a relationship and like or
continue pursuing potential relationship with you or not but if you if we're not even dating and so
if we want to get on technicalities technically like that is not cheating but you still feel the
need to lie that to me is a big red flag but i do understand the fact that you're saying that this
all of these things that you guys have gone through are all from two years ago the thing
that also sticks out to me is like him saying like I'll do whatever you want I can stop drinking if
you want me to like it's putting a lot of it on you and your responsibility that like you just
tell him what to do and he'll do it versus him taking it upon himself to be like I'm gonna stop
drinking and I'm gonna start going to therapy and I'm gonna do all of this stuff because I care
about this relationship, not tell me what to do and I will do it. That puts it on you still. And
it means that if the relationship fails, it's because you wouldn't tell him, you know what I
mean? Like it, it puts onus on you for stuff that's like, well, I'm going to do anything to
make it better. You just tell me what it is. And it's like, have you not thought about what you
could do? Like, just do it, like do it, be better. So what do you think about them being in six
months they're not going to be long distance anymore i don't have good feelings about him
being forthcoming about information that is not that you are directly confronting
so if it was me i would be yeah what have you been doing when we have not been together
yeah that's my thing is everything that you found out about things that he's done in the past it's
been through you coming upon the information and not him being forthcoming so i would definitely
ask him like what all have you been doing yeah if he was drinking that much and didn't realize he
almost well he tried to sleep with someone he considers to be his sister but then was so
definitely sure absolutely nothing happened and he was not naked even though he woke up naked
and they've like all definitely talked about it before i think if someone has made such strides
and leaps and bounds on like being a better person and a partner within two years part of that would
have been unprompted without you finding out him saying hey i have something to tell you
this is what happened this couple years ago and i need to tell you a whole thing i need to do this
and even if it's not this situation he's done other shady stupid shit has he come forth and
told you stuff within the last couple of years that like he has not been backed in a corner
about he has not been confronted about like are there any lies that he has gotten away with that
you had no idea about that he has told you. Like, I just think that like his reaction to this and
like the crying, it's just like, I'm all for men expressing, expressing their emotions and crying
and all of that stuff. But like, stop, you fucked up. This is what's happened here. You lied. And
now I'm comforting you because you had no idea any of this. And like, if you want to talk about
having like potentially having a drinking problem, that is a separate conversation. And that's a very
valid conversation to have like I understand it I don't drink I am not a good person when I drink
like but any stupid shit that I have done while drunk like that is a separate conversation than
like lying in a relationship right I think it's manipulative also you've said that like since this
has happened he like hasn't drank that much since so it doesn't sound like he got sober it doesn't
like I don't know I don't want to say like from how you've been talking about it it seems like
He's he blacked out this one time two years ago.
He hasn't blacked out since.
It doesn't sound like he has a drinking problem.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I mean, I blacked out one time in my life.
Lucky.
Yeah.
I mean, I was a heavy drinker, but it was only one time that I was drinking all day
and then blacked out.
And I will say that while I was blackout drunk, I blatantly lied about a lot of things.
Thankfully, my cousin was there with me and he was telling me all this stuff.
I was like, none of that actually happened in real life. I don't know where I came up with these ideas, but that's not true. And he was there to protect me, of course. But I know that when you're blackout drunk that like things can happen. But I woke up and I was naked, but I always I am always naked when I go to sleep.
so like but i was i fully remember everything from the moment i woke up so the fact that he
does not remember or tells you that he doesn't remember what happened the next day when he woke
up with no clothes on then that he is blatantly lying to you because it doesn't add up because
he's definitively saying that oh nothing happened i woke up like nothing nothing nothing like this
is like and now it's like oh i didn't remember and it's like and it's like if he lied about
something like this before you were actually together what has he been lying to you about
while you are together yeah so i'd be very cautious and also like was his friend there
did his friend know that like he tried to have sex with his sister and then like she slapped him
and like was the friend there at dinner again like that's an event like you know when you like party
with your friends you go on a trip like shit happens and like that's what you talk about like
This is one of those things.
And I think like something that's like really shady
that people do is the,
I'm gonna be forthcoming about something
and not tell you the whole truth
to make you feel like I'm being honest with you.
But it's not, it's hiding kind of those lies in plain sight.
I mean, I think that you should do some digging
about what he's been up to
while you have been long distance.
I would talk to that girl again
who had this interaction with him i would also talk to her in the sense of like that seems like
i don't know how she phrased it because it seems like i don't want to say a casual thing but like
that's like a very scary situation it might she just rolled over and went to sleep so i feel like
this probably wasn't the first time that it happened yeah this to me sounds like if there
is a man naked next to me in bed trying to have sex with me like and i am like oh i just rolled
over and i was like fuck off and we're still friends i'm still there like yes it makes me
wonder if this is like something that he kind of just does and I think again there's a reason why
she brought that conversation up and it was not to protect him and it was not for him was not for
like she knew what she was doing and it's because I think she knows that you didn't know it would
be water under the bridge if he had been completely like angelic and perfect for the last like time
that you have been you what I mean like if this is like way in the past it's like you know what
I have no need to bring this thing up she doesn't know what it's what she doesn't know won't hurt
her this seems like she needed you to know because something else is happening and it's like oh he
has not changed this is the second thing that you found out that he's lied about yeah so and i hope
if you don't take our advice and you are still you don't do the snooping and you want to like
move on past this and have a relationship and keep going on the same trajectory that you are
do not move in with him when you are done being long distance don't just don't fucking do it yeah
You've got six words.
Mm-hmm.
Oof.
I think we should start, like, an agency where we just snoop for people.
I would love that.
I would love it, too.
Hi, Megan and Melissa.
I'm a little newer to podcasts, but I have followed Megan for a while.
So when I was looking for something to listen to at work, it was one of those words that I searched for, and I love it.
So I'm a 27-year-old female.
My pronouns are she, her.
my boyfriend is 30 and his pronouns are he him we've been together about seven months and he's
like uncomfortable with the idea of me like masturbating like he's seen my toys and said
stuff like well you don't need those anymore because you have me or like at the beginning
of our relationship I talked about it and he just like doesn't like it he came over recently
and I had left something out and I quickly hid it before he was able to see but like I felt
weird and guilty about it i know you guys are like really open about masturbation and i know
like megan you're in a relationship and you've like talked about it i just i hope you guys have
some kind of advice on this also we have you as a toy during sex one because like i brought it up
but it was hard for me to finish because i felt like he was weird about it um and i couldn't like
let myself you know he does get me off but mostly by penetration and when he does go down on me
Either I can't finish or it's just, like, different than a toy or when I do it myself.
And sometimes I just, like, need that.
And I believe it's healthy and, like, perfectly normal.
And I don't know if it's just something I need to keep to myself or what I should do, if anything.
I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say.
Love you.
Bye.
Also, I'm kind of out of breath because I'm running.
Anyway, thanks.
Bye.
I can't.
This is a 30-year-old man.
Does he not masturbate?
There's no way he's not masturbating.
He has been on this earth for 30 years.
Break up with him.
Break up with him.
Like, just fuck it.
Did he participate in No Nut November?
Yeah.
Like, has he ever watched porn?
There's no way he doesn't masturbate.
There's no fucking way.
But also, I'm like, you're going to be a 30-year-old who has, like, literally, like, this statement,
like well like you don't need those anymore because now you have what okay we're dating now
so chop off your hands like what do you mean like it just makes that so so wildly like naive and like
he's viewing masturbation as like the means to an end this is a sex thing you only do this when
you're not in a relationship and like you've only been dating for seven months and so like
does he think in his world in his mindset that like every time that you are horny or you're in
the mood which by the way like you can masturbate for so many different reasons but like have a
headache you could just need to want to fall asleep like cramps there's so many reasons but
like let's say it's like but purely like horny base does he expect you to like call him like
that he is your sex slave like or just wait till you he gets there no this man is so immature he's
so stupid being like uncomfortable and emasculated by a sex toy when you are 30 that is not your
fucking problem i mean it's never anyone's problem to like deal with that but like you've already had
these conversations with him like you've already been like we're gonna have like use one in the
bedroom and you said like you felt uncomfortable and like this is affecting how your relationship
with your own pleasure because you now feel guilty when you have done it like no you cut him out and
you fucking bounce because like i hate that you've only been seeing this guy for seven months and he
is instilled in your head that now oh is it something i should keep to myself and be private
you're 27 years old like you are you own sex toys you like masturbate you have these things that
like within seven months as man and this is no discredit to you at all this is like fuck men
and how they can make you feel of now you're wondering wow should i not be doing this i feel
guilty doing this should i have to should i hide this blah blah blah like you've done all of the
hand-holding that you not even need to do but like that you did to like try and get him to be like
hello welcome to the 21st century do you know what a clitoris is do you understand any of this and he
has just been like nah not about it no goodbye bye we have no time no time this is so not how
not to make the whole like not all men argument but like truly like there are like guys that you
were like will literally love the idea of you getting off like in like that whether they're
turned on by that where they're just like yes go for it like the the goal or like the norm isn't
someone who tolerates it like at all this makes me mad he is 30 years old and like the only time
that you're ever like coming is from penetration yeah he's not he's also not good in bed and the
audacity to be not good in bed and then not what your partner and masturbate like you said you he
doesn't make you come when he goes down on you and like you're better when you're doing like you're
getting yourself off maybe he doesn't want you to masturbate because you'll be reminded that he's not
good in bed but like if you're not good in bed you should be good with sex toys come on that makes
you good in bed literally penis and thrusting itself doesn't have to be the only thing that
makes you good in bed and also like majority of the time if you're coming from penetration that
is purely based on angles and it's purely based on you knowing your angles like he's not putting
the work in to make you come during penetrative sex unlikely like it's possible like that can't
happen but it's so much about the angle that you're having sex but also the angle that your
your parts are and like your body is and like where your foot is like i'm over this i'm over
i'll drop some articles from bustle into the description but if you want to try to talk it
out but no i don't have energy she might be someone who does also don't be nervous no dump
him and buy a new vibrator buy any new toy you want all right it is time for don't blame them
this is don't blame them this is where a listener will call in with their own advice so if we talked
about something on a previous episode that they have gone through personally they have a friend
who went through it personally or they just have some insight that maybe we didn't mention or maybe
we did mention they want to reiterate they give their own two cents but this one is from the
episode where the caller was upset because her brother and best friend were dating and then they
were leaving her out yep hi there megan and melissa i am calling with a don't blame them
in response to the latest episode with the girl whose best friend dated her brother and i had a
eerily similar situation a couple years ago so my best friend from high school started dating
my brother who had never dated anyone never even showed interest in anyone so panic came out of
nowhere and they were absolute polar opposites and she's always been bad news which I told everyone
from the beginning shitty person and I'm crazy she ended up cheating on him anyway but I also
had moved away from home further than anyone so I was completely out of the loop of anything and
everything going on so I had to completely distance myself from both of them I've always
been super close with my brother and I was super close with this girl as well and once they started
dating it kind of you know so that separation kind of has to be and i found it better to be
out of the loop because trust me even if you want to be involved you don't you'll find out things
about either of them that you will make you want to vomit so you'll be fine but one that girl is
not your best friend especially if you're having to cry information out of her then she's just in
it for him now and now it's not about you and her that should be the priority she's not your best
friend and then either have a sit down on his heart to heart with your brother and let him know
how you're feeling or just kind of wait for this to fizzle out and if they're both acting incredibly
immature like it seems like they are and aren't including you in anything then kind of wait for
it all to blow up in their faces because eventually i'm sure it will all right well thank you bye
just that paired with her like very sunny voice i was just like just let it trickle out because
it'll blow up in their faces i did a poll on the instagram and um one person was saying that like
she is like married to her best friend's brother or something now and again it's great and like a
lot of other people were like yeah this has happened like it's been like a friend it is
wild how common it is yeah for me like if it's like high school or like in your hometown it
seems like that's oh yeah totally like a norm type thing if sydney had a brother well here's
issue if sydney had a brother he would be very very short but like we would that always said
like we wished that they had a brother so then we could like be related i think it's different when
you're in on it and know that they want to date and you're you might be one pushing for them to
date but when they're sneaking in and doing it behind your back that's what makes it worse i
would be pissed well that is it for our episode we hope you all enjoyed if you want to go leave
