I'm Shane Top and I'm joined today. Ian Hecox and Courtney Miller. Hey, thanks for being here. Yeah. This is our first time on Reddit stories together.

That's crazy. I know, it is. It is weird. It is actually fucking bullshit. I agree. Really quick. I see a lot of comments making fun of my cuffed jeans on this show. I want to point out, Darren, can we get a shot of Brennan and his cuffed jeans because look at those like you know

Ian's cuffed his cords but they are cuffed his cords. I'm just saying that other people also cuffed their jeans I'm all right let's get into this the theme today is breakups and brushoffs Oh. And I I also think there might be theat, the theme. The theme today is breakups and brush-offs. Ooh. And I also think there might be a few updates. An update or two per se. All right, let's get into it. First story, this comes from the subreddit, Am I Wrong?

So similar to Am I the Ass-H-Hasshole, but they're not necessarily asking if they're an asshole, just if they're in the wrong guy. Basically same premise. Am I wrong for telling my girlfriend to rein in her daddy issues while we're visiting my family? Okay, this is from two days ago as of reading this. It's recent. Throw away because my cousins know my actual account. My girlfriend, Shea, who's 27, and I, a man, 26,

are on a small vacation to my hometown. She's only ever met my dad and extended family, aunt, uncle, cousins, over the phone, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce everyone properly. But since we've arrived, Shea's behavior towards my dad has been seriously off-putting. For example, I thought it would be fun if we all went horseback riding. My younger cousins do it as a hobby, so I thought it would be nice to do an activity we'd all like. But she wouldn't even get on the horse because she said she was scared. It's been years since I've been on a horseback riding the others enjoyed themselves, but she insisted I go because my dad already offered to stay behind. He doesn't usually go horseback riding either. It was weird that she didn't want me there too, but I left it be.

There have been other instances too, like how she asked my dad to show her around town instead of staying with me and meeting my old friend from high school. It was an imprompt to meet up to meet him. We literally ran to him the them, their, my dad. But it would have been nice if she made the effort to get to know him instead of going with my dad. The final straw was when we were all at my aunt's house for dinner. She made cupcakes, baking is kind of her thing. And she made some chocolate and peanut butter one specifically because they're my dad's favorite favorite flavors. She made a few different types of cupcakes. th. their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, the the thi, the thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, but, but, but, but, but, but, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-s, thrown, throwne, throwne, thro, teeean, throoo. throoo. thei. throooo. the the. the, the of cupcakes, but none of the others were my other relatives' favorite flavors. When we got back to our Airbnb, I confronted her. I know She's dad left when she was a teen, and there are no contact, so I figured she might be clinging to my dad because it's nice to have a fatherly presence and not something she's used to. I asked her, jokingly, to reign in her daddy's tie, and to stop the the, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she, and she's, and she's, I, and she's, I, I, and, I, and, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, toe, to, to, to, to, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, to, and, to, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe. toe. toe. the the toe. the the toe. the t t t t t t t t t t t t thea. thea. t thea. thea. toe. toe. t t t thea, t t daddy issues and to stop being so clingy with my dad. She blew up at me, telling me that she's trying her best to fit in, and that I've put no effort

in making her feel welcome. Neither of us were willing to compromise, and I ended up sleeping somewhere else for the night. I need to talk things out with her today, but before I do, I want to make sure I'm not in the wrong wrong. Hmm. Hmm. Uh, oh man. I feel like, I don't know. I'd almost say like he has daddy issues. Like, he's got issues of like his girlfriend like, like, like paying any sort of attention to his dad and like finding all these like instances where it's like, yeah, yeah, but you, but like, I'm sure she did stuff for like his mom maybe as well.

Yeah, I didn't hear much about his mom in this. His mom has not mentioned once. In fact, I, he doesn't, I don't even know if he mentions the existence. Yeah, if his mom is in the picture, because he mentions aunts and uncles and cousins. Right. Yeah, I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th., I mean, to me, this all just kind of like, makes sense to me of like, yeah, you want to impress someone's parents.

You want to get to know someone's parents. And yeah, I mean, what he's saying, I think there's some validity to that of like, yeah, if she doesn't have a father, like, and his dad might be a really nice guy and... But none of it sounded problematic to me. No, I think, like nothing bad happened for him to like need to call out anything. Like it seemed like he was noticing a pattern and just didn't like the pattern. Right. Where, yeah, when you're, the first time you're meeting your significant other's parents,

some people can feel like it's a really big deal. They want to make a really good impression. Or maybe she had questions about her partner and wanted to talk to him. And yes, of course, she has a kind of like a pass with not having a father in her life. So like she's, she's like, and also I just, I think the horse things just unrelated. Like, he's like, she's obsessed with my dad. Also, she's just scared of horses. Like, horses are huge, dude. Oh, I totally.

It doesn't matter how chill they are. They can be jumpy. I totally get being scared of horses. Yeah. Also, like, with that all aside, like, maybe she just wanted to fuck his dad. Like, you know, like, maybe I, I, I that crossed my mind. I was like, well, it's making him cookies and things. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like, the fact, I mean, it's like, I mean, like, I don't know, like, I want to give her the benefit of doubt, but like it was really funny that he was like town. I'm like, that's kind of weird.

But I wouldn't say that like, I wouldn't say that's daddy issues. And who fucking cares? Like, yeah, a lot of people do like yearn for like a close relationship with like, you know, a fatherly figure. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And it's like, yeah, okay, so she might have have a that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's anything wrong with that. And it's like, yeah, okay, so she might have daddy issues, whatever. Yeah, I think he's kind of picking up on things that aren't really, just genuinely aren't connected, like the horse thing, but also like how she didn't, like the dad offered to stay behind,

and she sounded like she wanted him, her significant other to enjoy horse, work riding with his cousins, and she maybe just didn't want the the the the the the th, th, th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, there, thi, thi, there, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, there, thin, thin, thin, thin, tho, tho, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, and, and, thin, and, thin, and, thin, thin, and, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin want to be home alone and so the dad offered to stay there and then I think it's like her first time meeting them life is fleeting she's trying to get to know this this father who is going to be an important role should things continue yeah like also the friend that wasn't like a planned thing they ran into the thoo the the thr-so th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho the the tho the the tho tho the the the tho tho tho to tho to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat to the the tho the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the a planned thing. They ran into, he ran into his friend, just happened to run into him. So maybe she thought like, oh, I'll just let you guys hang and I'll go. It may not be, it may not be that she's choosing the dad. It may be that these situations are like, she's letting him enjoy his family time or time's friends.

I can totally relate to that. These instances instances thenspicked. Sounds so nonchalant like it doesn't seem like a big deal. Sounds like he has the daddy issue. That's what I'm saying. I feel like he's like got like this weird possessive feeling towards like his girlfriend and it's like hey if she's like trying to be a closer part of the family like because most relationships start going that direction like then she should have a close relationship with the parents. So we have some comments here.

It's kind of odd that you scheduled horseback riding, but she was scared. Did you check with her before throwing this activity on her? You seem to be upset when she's doing something she wants to do that doesn't involve you. OP responded, I thought it would be a cool surprise because she loves the game Red Dead Redemption, which has a lot of horseback riding in it. I was just trying to be a good boyfriend and organize an activity we would all enjoy, but I got it wrong. Okay.

Fair. That's thoughtful. I hope that someday someone rinse me a car that I can drive around Los Angeles and crash into shit. Yeah, like GTA. Yeah, it's like it's like a diamond block. Or it's like Ian, um, Ian, you love Call of Duty. I enlisted you. Dude, thank you. Dude, straight from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. This is in regards to OPE's mom, who's not mentioned that I saw,

O.P. said, My aunt and uncle are just as important, and so are my cousins. My mom isn't around anymore, so my aunt is the biggest female influence I have in my life. Shea knows this, but hasn't put in any thought to spending more time with her. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought bonding with her would have been more of a prime focus. Huh. That doesn't make sense. Because she's a woman. Yeah, that seems to be. That's weird. I mean, if the mom's not in the picture, I as a partner in hopes in in hopes of understanding

my partner better would want to like get to know that parent and like, if that dad is actually being like open and like willing to spend that that that to to to to to to to to to to to to to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that. that. that. that. that that that that that that that that that that that that. And, that. And, that. And, that. And, that. And, that. And, that. And, that. And, toe. And, toe. And, toe. Ande.

Yeah that that that clarifies even more of like maybe she was doing this because she cares about him. Yeah. Oh maybe they're maybe she's hoping that she could like parent trap their parents. Yeah. You know, you know like she doesn't have a dad he doesn't have a mom. Oh, maybe they can be siblings. Oh, that would be weird, right? Someone else said, when she leaves you and you date someone who makes no effort with your parents altogether, they'll miss her. Someone else said to that, right?

Been with my husband for seven years, four of those married, and I still make an effort to fit into his family and bring his father and mother food slash treats. I know they will like and aren't commonly found where we live. I live in my husband's home country and I'm from Canada. Someone else said this should be titled, I was an asshole to my girlfriend who was being kind and normal to my family. We have a comment from OP here. we here. We always joke around so I thou- th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thus tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thus thus their tho tho their tho tho tho-and tho-and tho-and tho-and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, th th their, th th the, the, the, the, thr-a thr-s, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thou-n't to' tomo' tomorrow, thou-n't thou-n't thou-n't thin, th it would go down better if I tried to keep it light-hearted. I made my point in a serious way too by telling her to stop being clingy and listing out the examples I mentioned in my post.

I just thought it wouldn't end in an argument if I made a joke or two. Obviously that didn't work. Someone responded to that, saying, sorry, bud, I think you are the one with the daddy's, I, thin, thin, thin, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thin, and, thin, and, thin, thin, and, thin, and, thin, and, thin, thin, the the the the to to to to to stop, to to to to to to to to to to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to stop, to stop, and, to stop, to stop, and, to stop, and, and, to stop, and, the the the the the the the the the the the the to to the to to the the the to the thin, the the the the te, the the the the thea, the the to. So you are mad because your girlfriend was too nice to your dad and was trying too hard to fit in and be friendly makes absolutely no sense. Yep. Yes sir. That's right. And we have an update. Oh, no.

Keanu you're so good at hiding that. And that's the story. I th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho, tho, tho, thi thi. thi. thoo-a. tho-I tho-I. tho-I. tho-I. tho-I. tho-I. tho-I. tho-I. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooothis is it and this is that and that's the story. I love these types of updates. Okay, I get it. I'm wrong. Even though a lot of you were really harsh in the comments of my last post, I appreciate the honesty and think I needed it. I read every comment, I understand it was wrong of thing to do and any concerns I had, I should have said in a much better way. I went back to the Airbnb today

and you'll never guess who was there with my girlfriend. Yes, it was my father. He was in the kitchen cleaning up what looked like leftovers from breakfast. He said he stopped by a cafe that's at the was in the shower slash getting ready and that they were going to my aunt's house looking for me. They both presumed that's where I was, considering I wasn't at the Airbnb nor I was with my dad.

We talked and I helped him clean up the breakfast. While I did, I saw the receipt in the to go bag. Considering the cafe he bought the breakfast in is literally five to ten minutes away and he came straight from there to the Airbnb, it's safe to assume he spent at least two hours, maybe two and a half hours at the Airbnb before I arrived. But sure, that's normal. I didn't bring this up or even question it. I've learned my lesson about bringing up stupid and immature the the the a lot of things people said in my post like how Shea didn't want me to miss out on horseback riding, that she wanted to give me time with my friend without being the third wheel,

and he said that his favorite cupcake flavor came up while they were walking around town together. It was an embarrassing conversation, and while we didntalked about it further, she was crying a lot. The only thing she really said is that we have underlying issues from before this vacation and that this whole ordeal just adds to it. We were supposed to go to a Games night at my aunts tonight, but she was supposed to go to a game's night at my aunts tonight. Butte, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi, she's, she's, she's, she's, thi, she's, she's, she's the only only only thi, she's the only only the only the only the only the only the only she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's the only only only only only the only the only the only only the only the the the the the the the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin, thr-a. thr-a, thr-s. thr-a. that, thr-s. thr-a. that, thr-a. thi. the the thi. theto think. I respect that. I don't know if she wants me to stay at the Airbnb tonight or not, but I'm glad she didn't immediately break up with me like some of you suggested. Edit. We broke up. She's staying at a hotel tonight and then leaving tomorrow.

That's... That sucks. I feel like I feel like he like learned his lesson, but... Did he? No? It seems that at first he goes, he goes, to to to to to to to think, he to think, he to think, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I to to to to to to to think, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to think, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I to to to think, I like, I feel like, I feel like he like learned his lesson, but... Did he? No? It seems that at first he goes, he goes, I get it, I'm wrong. And then he's all sarcastic in the middle. He's thinking I was embarrassed. And yeah, but no, I know I shouldn't be questioning things. Yeah.

I don't think he, and maybe I'm wrong, I'm okay with that, but I'm getting the sense that he's still. Yeah, well, I wish the best for the girlfriend and the dad. They sound like they're a good couple. Good couple. It makes sense to me, I think, because the two hours thing, it seemed suss and him being there with breakfast sounded suss, but I will say he only brushed on it, which, the,, there was some apparently underlying issues before this trip. Seems like he came, he like, because I feel like sometimes people do this

where they'll have like a reset of like, it doesn't matter if we were having issues. Now we're going on a family trip and you're meeting my family, and this is a new experience and whatever we had going on before, it doesn't tha. It's tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, that's that's that's that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, that, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he they. they. they. they. they. they. they. He, he they. He, he they..... He, he, he they..... He, he, he, he thin, he, he thi. thi. thin. thin. thi. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. th th th th t t toda. t toda. t toda. ttoday, ttttoday, thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. t like it makes sense that if they were having problems and it doesn't sound like he's very intuitive to her needs and and like and stuff so her having extensive conversations with his dad kind of makes sense like she's like I don't know but who knows man? Comments on this one. O.P. I think my girl has daddy issues also OP. Proceeds to project a myriad of daddy issues. Dude, get a grip.

Yeah. Someone said, I can see why you are worried about your girlfriend falling for your dad. He seems like a gentleman. It's a pity the apple fell so far from the tree. Someone else said, This apple is in another orchard. Someone said, wow, you are petty and passive aggressive. I suggest losing that before you embark on another relationship. Yeah.

Yeah, I think he let a good one go. It sounds like it. I mean, obviously, we only have a snapshot of a very small amount of this relationship, but like, it sounds like she was like very considerate and like invested in his family. And he was just like, he couldn't get over this like one thing. Yeah. But obviously, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I I I I I I I I I I I their, I th th th th th th th th thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th. Yeah, I th. I th. Yeah, I th. I th. Yeah, I th. I th. I th. I th. Yeah, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. Yeah, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin. I thin. I thin, I thin, I thin't get over this like one thing. But obviously like there's so much more to a relationship than what we know here. The underlying issues though that she's bringing up makes me wonder if like this is a pattern behavior like he's constantly criticizing her for like

things that are kind of out of her control. Yeah that's what I feel I feel too it feels like he's kind of picking up on a confirmation bias for his own insecurities and like it just, yeah, it sucks. It's also very interesting like, and I think it makes even more sense that the dad was there for as long as he was because if the story is true, which I would, I think it is, the dad showed up to him with breakfast for his son and his son's partner, he's gone. Yeah, and she's like, oh yeah, he didn't sleep here last night and they have no idea where he is. Like that's alarming. That's a red flag. Right. So it makes sense that the Dow would be like- And we don't even know where he went. He doesn't say weird. Yeah, he never clarifies where he went. Did he go to a hotel? Did he go to a hotel and then to a panera bread? Oh? Oh, bread. Bread. Bread. Bread. th bread? Oh, bread. th bread. th bread. th bread. Oh, th bread. Oh, th bread. Oh, th bread. Oh, th. Oh, th.back. Is that where I love happens? It's a cheating.

It's a cheating happens. Pinarbread. Panera bread. Penebred. We're cheating happens. All right. Next story. This comes from relationship advice

a couple days ago, also recent. I, 21-year-old woman, knitted a blanket for a friend, 22-year-old woman, and she sold it without me knowing. Another knitting story. We have learned here on Reddit stories that when you knit someone something, bad things or bad stuff, throw away because I used my main account for my artwork and knit projects.

I knitted a blanket with a very distinguishable design. It was my friend's favorite anime character and gave it as a gift. This was about a year ago. Today, I went to a classmate's flat to finish an art project we were working on for a class. Confusingly, I see the blanket on his bed. I know this is the blanket I made

because I spent like seven months with it, and the design is so specific because it's my own patterned, I the, I, I, I, I, I, th, and, th, th, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thin, the, thin, thin, thi, thi, the, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, th....... thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr, thr. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, and the design is so specific because it's my own pattern. And I still ask him where he got it and he said he bought it off of Facebook marketplace. My jaw literally drops and I can feel the tears forming in my eyes. I was really upset because not only did she give it away like it was nothing, but she also found a way to profit from my own hard work. I talked to my friend about this and she admitted to it and apologized. She then told me it was out of desperation because her dog needed emergency surgery. I felt bad for her hearing that, but it was also hard for me to set aside my own frustrations. I'm at a loss for words to describe my emotions right now, and I can't begin to process how to go about from this situation. What would you do do if you were in my shoes? How would you feel? I just need

advice or some sort of validation, if ever. So luckily Kiana knows knitting very well. A project like OPs is describing, can easily take months and creating your own pattern is literally like taking an image down to the pixel level, doing a lot of math, switching yarn, et cetera, this is a labor of love. So this person, like they said, they spent seven months on something. Man, That's a tough. That's one of those gifts

where it's like, man, you better know that friend is there forever, because that's a lot of pressure if someone does something like that for you. And that I wonder how much that how much money that that blanket went for because like it sounds like a very unique very special Facebook Marketplace 75 bucks. No I see it as like streetwear I'm like 450 at least. Facebook Marketplace typically is like... Yeah because I think like I think when you sell something that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like I that's like that's like that's like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like thi th like thi thi th Yeah, because I think like, I think when you sell something that's like, that's like handmade like that, like obviously it doesn't compare to like mass produce items. We're so used to having everything like this, I don't know, like a machine made this. And it's probably like 15 bucks or something. But if like a person made this, there's probably a threat. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I a machine made this. And it's probably like 15 bucks or something.

But if like a person made this by hand, there's probably a better example, like this. A machine definitely made this. If a person made this, it would take them hours. It would take them hours, and that would be labor that you'd have to pay for. But it's like, you know, we're like, if we want to, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, you'd have to pay for. But it's like, you know, we're like, if we want to, like, would anybody pay? I mean, would people want to pay like a hundred bucks for this? I think they're so popular because they're so cheap and so...

Yeah. Yeah, I will say like, I think, because this is a couple, right? They didn't clarify how long? Friends? Okay. So they're friends. I think that O.P. has a right to feel both things. Like, they can be upset, but also feel bad that this person needed the money for their pet. Because like, if that's true, that sucks. And it's heartbreaking on all sides. Yeah. And maybe when things are better, perhaps since that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thii, thi, thathea. thatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheat. th. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's th. th. th. th. thi. that's that. that. that. that's that's still within their world, they could get the blanket back or something. But.

Yeah, I mean, it's one of those things. It's so tough and it wouldn't have gone well, I think, but like the communication of like calling up that friend and be like, hey, like, my dog needs emergency surgery. I'm desperate. I need to, I'm letting you know, like, I'm selling your, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, made for me, like I said, that conversation would not go well, but would that be better than this crazy off chance that she managed to run into the person who bought it off Facebook marketplace. Yeah, I mean it also doesn't take that long to notice like, hey, that thing is gone.

That blanket I made you isn't in your apartment anywhere. Yeah, yeah, that's it's all very strange. It's all very strange. Yeah, it's that. Yeah. Yeah. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that it's that's that's that's that's that's that's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's all. It's all. It's all th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's th. It's th. It's this part of me thinks like and I don't usually I always assume these are real but like part of me is like man like you would notice that like if you were like good friends with somebody you would kind of be like oh where's that blanket but also if I was that friend that sold the blanket I would feel so much shame that I would would know I would be afraid to tell that. I would totally be. Because it's like, yeah, you can't quantify the value of something like that. Yeah, we don't know the locations of these friends if they're maybe like hometown college situation, whatever.

They're very young. It's, it does suck. It does suck. Let's see here, some comments. I would feel hurt. Your feelings are valid regardless of her reasoning behind why she sold it. This was a thoughtful gift that took you a lot of time, and that shouldn't be diminished. If there is any comfort in knowing it went to a good home, to someone who is enjoying it and displaying it proudly, I would focus on that.

I've had to give away things that are sentimental, but I try to make sure they go th th go their their their their their their their their their their the will be appreciated. Maybe she did that in this case. Someone said if the sick dog is true, forgive her if you want but never knit for her again. If you can't forgive her it's okay to move on. Someone said so I knit and I'm also a pet owner. I think you have the right to be hurt but if the thing with her dog was a life or death situation which is what I'm assuming it was if the dog needed emergency surgery, then I can't blame her for selling it. Once you give someone a gift, it's theirs to do with as they please. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for your friend to make. I think everything everybody said is true.

Yeah, I think all that's valid. I mean, there's still like the lack, I don't know how close these friends are. Nobody is an asshole in this situation because she's just saying how she's feeling. And her feelings are valid here. I think if she went out of her way and said her friends like the worst person on the plan, I'd be like, now you're maybe a bit of an asshole. Like, this is just a, this is just a shitty situation. But there is an update. Ooh. The dog's dead. Oh, sorry. Okay.

I need to know what character this is. That's important. Yeah, I want to know the anime. Yeah, but she never mentions, yeah, because if she mentions what character, it's going to be too obvious to identify her. True. I like, I think it's light from death note. Thank you all for the overwhelming response. I don't have the time to respond to each and every one of you, but please know I have read almost all of them and I appreciate the time you guys took to share your thoughts. To those asking, she did briefly mention to me that her dog went into surgery months ago.

Obviously, she did not mention the told me that everything thankfully went well. However, I will also not question the validity of this as I assume veterinary surgeries can cost a fortune. She's my friend and I choose to believe she did act out of desperation because she loves her dog and I can't imagine her using him almost dying as a cover-up. If she did, then that is now between her and her maker, I suppose. It was all still fresh yesterday, but after I've gotten the time to sleep I have a much clearer mind. Some of you think I had no empathy for her which is honestly crazy. I initially thought she had profited from my work and just took the cash but when we talked and she explained the situation I obviously felt sorry that it had come to come to that and I couldn't expect her to react in any other way. However pardon me I guess for being a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the to the to the the to to the the to to to to to to to to the the the the to to to to to to to to the to the to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. theck. I was. I was. I was. thea. tea. try. tea. Iea. thea. thea. Iea. I was. I was. I was th trying to process how I also felt. At the time, I also couldn't help but think the blanket that I worked so hard on had

no value to her so much so that it was easy for her to let go, first amongst other things that she had probably kept. But many of you have helped me look at this in another perspective and made me realize that she did see value in it somehow to know it w w worth enough to save her dog. TLDR, I've decided to just let this go. I find solace in the thought that my work indirectly helped my friend get a second chance to be with her beloved dog and now that same blanket sits pre-loved in someone else's home for them to enjoy. P.S. Yes, what a small world, L-O-L-L, well, but I'm from a big that that that that that. Considering we all go to the only arts uni in our city. Uh, all right. Yeah, I think that's a pretty good ending.

I was expecting a really bad turn. Yeah. I'm glad that it was like, oh, okay. We're good. It's an interesting, I feel like an interesting topic is like how much effort to put into gifts for people sometimes. because, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, but I th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. Because that's a lot of pressure, too. If someone's like, hey, I put seven months of hard work into this, I'd be like, okay, holy shit, I have to keep this forever. Yeah, and I would say, I love, like, that's kind of one of my love languages is like

getting stuff for other people, and you're sometimes just not always going to get the response that you want. And that's kind of for you to kind of have to process and deal with. And like, honestly, this sounds like the not the best case. It sucks that that was happening with a dog, but it's like if there was ever a reason to sell a gift, you know. It's my argument has always been the best best best best best. Yeah. Like some sort of food, drink, candles. Candles.

Incredible gift. Because that way, if it's gone, you don't know if they use it or if they gave it away. You never know. You just never know. What's more pressure? Someone spending a ton of money on a gift. If it's and it's it's relative to how much money they have right like it's not like if you have a millionaire friend is relatively expensive to

the person. Yeah like holy shit like if the gift sucks. I feel a pressure because I've received gifts that it was like whoa this is really nice. Yeah it's not something I would wear but but okay, thank you. And I keep it and I still have it somewhere. I enjoy getting gifts for people, but I do know that, and there's sometimes I'm like, oh, this is the perfect gift for this person. But I also in my head, I get in my head of like, I don't want them to feel pressure

that they now have to get me a gift. And it starts this weird, I'm like, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th and I th and I th and I thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th weird, I'm like, it's not supposed to be transactional. It's supposed to be a gift. It's supposed to be, hey, I'm giving you this thing and then I don't care about the response. But there's a weird, you know, trade-off for a lot of people with gifts. And that's a lot of politics. This comes from True Off My Chess is reconsidering our marriage after visiting my home country. Hmm. Interesting. To start...

Did they visit America? To start, I come from a small island in the Caribbean, part of the U.S. I moved to the U.S. five years ago, just after graduating university and landed a job here. Since day one, my fiancee has been romanticizing what it is to live in a tropical paradise that is my country. I love my country and I was raised there, but it's not even close to a paradise. Of course it has its charms, but not close to that level. Well, we were planning our honeymoon and she wants to stay there for two weeks

and travel around the island. I am not fond of that idea because I have seen it all, and she wants to visit unsafe areas around the island. Her main point of attraction is a place that is in a huge musical video, but it's not a safe place for tourists. So I said, fine, let's just do a quick visit before our wedding so we can see what's going on. She immediately accepted, and one month later we to try and to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be. too, too, too, and too, and the too, the the the the to me, and the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thr. the thr. thr. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. toda. try already know today is a hot day to be there. I try to convince her but she insists on going in. The locals are eyeing us and my mind is screaming we should not be here. Not even three feet in and two guys confronted us. She started

talking and her broken Spanish, sorry babe, just made things worse. I tried to calm down the situation and we left soon after. I kept my mouth shut even though I just wanted to tell her, I told you so, because this was stupid from the start. On her way back home, she didn't say a thing even after I tried to open the conversation. Well, today, one week of thing. This is Puerto Rico? Hold on really quick. The top comment is she built her future based on Desposito? Yeah, yeah, for the real. For real, when he was like, he's like, it's part of the US, it's like Caribbean Island. I was like, I was like, this is Puerto Rico. Then, she sawed, s-a. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this, th. this, this, this, this, this. this. this. th. th. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this this this this this this this th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. the the the the the the the the this is Puerto Rico. Then it was like, she saw it in music video. I was like, fuck. Dude, she tried, she tried saying the lyrics to Desposito to the locals to get it taken to make good. Oh no, that's like, what?

What, it's either Despacito or Bad Bunny? What fantasy world are you living here? And thiques? And thu bypassed all the beaches, the mountains, Old San Juan, the food, Culebra and Viecus, and other islands, the food and dumped him over the location of that video? Nah, man. OPE needs to block her on everything from now to eternity. She only loved the idea of him having an exotic boyfriend.

Oh! You know what I also just want to point out like what an awful pitch for a honeymoon it's like hey for our honeymoon let's go to your hometown. She was romanticizing. I mean like this place I grew up in I don't want to go back and he's saying I don't want to go back. Yeah I mean like on a lot of those I like everyone has these like romantic ideas of like Caribbean islands like vacations, but there's like so much poverty in most of those areas and a lot of times like people are relegated to the resorts where it's like intentionally kept nice because the locals are kept out of there.

Also music videos like is not real. I know. It's like bro those are, there's lights, there's there's color editing. It is not what you're like, their.. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thoo tho there's lights, there's, there's color editing, it is not what you think it is. I also think it's really messed up that like he literally was born there and she just was not valuing his insight. Like, like, ugh. No, she didn't trust him, which is like, no, no, desposito knows. Dettie, Yankee would thi th though, it brings up a good point, which is like, you know, is social media travel culture kind of creating false expectations for certain countries? Because as you've pointed out, and I've heard this from other people too, just, and

also just reading about it of like, yeah, those, a lot of those islands, we think of like the tourist parts parts, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi, th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they. the, they. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. their, their, their, their, think of like the tourist parts of it, which are pretty much like, you know, the, yeah, it's this glamorized small sections. And we think that's the whole place. And it's not true. And I feel like social media always gives a false idea of anything. Yeah, Bali, Bali is a big one. Really? I guess I shouldn't generalize. But yeah, yeah, we all we all we all we all we all we all th, we all th, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, we all, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. theeea. th. thea. It's, thea. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. th. It's,, I mean, I guess I shouldn't, I shouldn't generalize, but yeah, yeah, we all have like this false sense, and it's not like, look, everywhere is dangerous, we're not saying

like, oh, if you go to an island, it's like scary and there's crime, there's crime everywhere, there's crime everywhere, there's not exactly advertising every as a place of a place. Right, like, like, they're not exactly advertising. Like, their their their, they're, they're, they're, they're, like, like, like, they're, like, like, like, they're, like, like, like, like, they're, like, like, like, like, they're, like, they're, like, like, they're, like, like, like, like, they're, like, like, like, like, like, they're, like, like, like, like, like, like, but, but, but, like, like, but, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, th, like, like, like, like, not it's not like a fantasy island like there's there's there's poverty there's right and I think I think the social media aspect is true but I think this person I think she's just not on like she's on another planet. Oh yeah she's very like the fact that she was like ignoring OPs like hey this not a good idea okay fine walking up to this area and locals are immediately having a a problem th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th of th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho the tho the to thi to the the the the the the's the's the the the the the the there's their there's their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be like to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to up to this area and locals are immediately having a problem with it and her being like, no, no, no, and like trying to speak language is like, so you really have like no regard for

what reality might be outside of what's serving you in that moment. She has no respect for her fiance. Yeah, like, this is where he's from and she's like, no, I'll handle this. It's giving Valentina. It's giving, I want my fantasy. This is not serving my fantasy. Like, I don't know. Yeah, the comment with the exotic boyfriend is wild,

but probably not inaccurate. Yeah, someone else said, sounds like she was fetishizing you and your home country. Either way it it's not your fault, you did what you were supposed to do. Someone else responded to that, saying, absolutely she was fetishizing him, and also clearly has no clue that life in the Caribbean is nothing like an all-inclusive resort. Someone else said, let her go. It looks like she was in love with the romanticized idea of having the potential to live on a tropical island or so. Then her idea busted. If she was really loving you, this experience would not affect the personal relationship with you.

There's a tweet here, proof that Instagram influencers have ruined everything. My hopes and dreams were shattered when I found out the water at the gates of heaven is actually just a piece of glass under an iPhone. Yeah. Yeah. So I've heard some like sketch stuff about but I mean like whatever man. Well I think the thing is this. Don't trust what you see on Instagram. Yeah.

Yeah. People people fake all sorts of shit. Not only are people touching up their faces and their bodies. They're touching up the environment. Yeah. They're making shit not what it is.

It's from Am I the Asshole and was reposted on Am I the Devil, the place where all the worst ones go. Apparently I have heard that these people should break up, is what I'm hearing. Okay.

Okay. I'll be the judge of that. That's usually, that's usually the consensus on all of these. Usually. Am I the asshole for asking my wife to think about the long-term implications of her birth plan?

Throw away because my friends know my main. I know dudes get ripped in here for posting their opinions about birth, but I think this is an important opportunity for my wife and I'm posting because I believe the situation is nuanced and she's not hearing me out. This is a 34-year-old man. My wife, Beth, 28, is 33 weeks pregnant. We're both very ready for this baby to come. My mom is super hands-on with my entire family. My two brothers' wives are very close with her, but Beth has just never really clicked the way the other two did. I'd be

lying if I said it didn't bother me that my wife seems disinterested in getting closer with my mom and my sister-in-laws. For all five of the birds of my sister-in-l me and my brother's born doped up and she wanted to experience the full spectrum of becoming a mother. Beth on the other hand is very fearful of birth and has talked to our doctor about being medicated. I didn't love the idea of the mother of my child being loopy and out of it at such a critical moment, but these concerns, but those concerns, but those those concerns, but those concerns, but those concerns, but those concerns, but those concerns, but those concerns, but those concerns, but th also th also th also, but th also, but those, but th also, but th, but th, but th, th, th, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the, the, the the, the, the the the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, their, their raised them. I felt very excluded during the discussion around pain management, and neither Beth nor our doctor were receptive to my ideas.

My mom was asking me about our birth plan the other day, and I don't know why I did this. But I just sort of panicked and told her that Beth was going for it the all-natural way, like she and my sister-in-laws have. To say my mom freaked out with happiness is an understatement. She was thrilled that Beth was open to experiencing the full range of motherhood, and this might sound crazy, but I think if Beth shared this right of passage with my mom and sister-in-laws, they might finally gel. I told Beth about my slip up to see if she'd be open to changing her mind, given how this could serve as a critical bonding experience for their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, and, and, and, and, thi, thi, and, and, thi, and, thi, and thi, thi, and thi, and, and thi, and, thi, and, and, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, and, thi, and, and, and, thi, their, and, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr. thr. thr. thr. thri, thri. thri's, thri's, thri's, thri. thri. thri. thri. thri, thri, to share, and she lost her mind. Yelling about how she wasn't going to compete with my mom and sister laws during her birth, she emphasized that it was her birth again and again, which I don't think is fair because it will be an experience we both go through.

Just differently. I was just trying to get her to see that there was an opportunity for her to create some sisterhood with the women of my family, I, I, I, I, I, I, and, and, and, and, and, th, th, th, and, th, and, th, th, th, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-s, throooo, thr-s, throooomo, thi, thi, thi, thr-s, thi, thi, their, some sisterhood with the with the women of my family. I wasn't dictating or even pressuring her. I just thought she would want to know how happy it made my mom. She told me she didn't give a fuck about sisterhood, which was very intense because Beth does not swear. I wasn't try to... It's almost like this important to her. I wasn't trying to upset her. I just to try, I try, I thin, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, th, thin, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-augh, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, thi, thi, thr trying to upset her. I just think she would be wise to see the potential long-term implications of not having this shared experience with my mom and sister-in-laws. But Beth has been furious to the point of not speaking to me for several days, and I'm

starting to wonder if I'm in the wrong, even if I was trying to help. Am I the asshole? You know, it's almost it's almost almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's like, it's almost, it's like, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost, it's almost like, it's almost like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, it's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. thi. thi. the the thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thr. thi. thr. thi. thi. thr. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the child would be something that they could bond over, not the pain of having one. Yeah. I don't understand like why he thinks that like the pain is necessary. Well, his pussy's getting ripped open too. I know. The poor guy, he has to suffer so much. Babe, listen.

Beth, sit down. Don't swear. Don't swear. I know, I know that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you're that you're that you're that you're that you're the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. 't swear. I know I know that you're going through a lot, but I want you to know like my emotional pussy is getting Getting wreck just getting my emotional pussy is just getting my emotional pussy He's like I'm doing it the natural way. We remember we are pregnant. You know, you know what's interesting though up something. Something I just want to point out like this isn't the first time in Reddit stories that a family has a tradition? that is just kind? th of? th of? th of? th of? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. th. the th. the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the th. the th. the the thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the thi. the to point out, like this isn't the first time in Reddit stories that a family has a tradition that is just kind of confusing for me. I mean, yeah, it's so odd that it's a family tradition being put on in-laws who are not connected to this family outside of their relationship with someone in the family. So it's like the wife test one. Do you remember that where it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like, th th th th th th th th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind of thi, kind kind kind kind kind of thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, So it's like the wife test one. Right.

Do you remember that where it's like, well, this is a tradition my family has. It's like, well, cool. I'm not technically like, that's their tradition. That's fine. But. And when it gets down to the nitty gritty bodily autonomy, my guy, like her body, her pregnancy, like, her body, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, th. that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. her birth. Like, I, and I also, I'm a little hung up on the, like, the mom is like fixated on the idea of this baby being loopy when they're born, and like, oh my God, that's such a big deal, like,

that baby's not gonna remember that. Also, like, what is, what even is like, like, natural birth? Like, are you, are you going out to the fucking woods to like push this thing out and you're gonna rip the umbilical cord off with your teeth? Does the mom have like some fucking degree? Does she know that like, giving the mother drugs is gonna drug the baby?

So he points out that the doctor is clearly on his wife's side. And he's like, this friggin dumb doctor's not receptive either. Well, also, like, emotions are not facts. This story is him saying, I lied to my mom about what my partner is doing, and then try to convince my partner to go along with a lie. That's not just like going along with light, it's putting your body through a very significantly more painful experience. Or like even, there could be an even more insidious intention here where he told the mom she was going to do it naturally so that they can both gang up on her and be like, you're going to be natural, right? It's going to be natural, right?

It's such a strange, he keeps saying like the feeling the full range of motherhood. Yeah. It's just a lot of weird... An epidural or whatever you need in a pregnancy does not invalidate the experience at all. Like, you are still very much a mother, if you have a C-sucent, if you have a surrogate, that is still your baby. Obviously, pregnancy situation is different with the cigarette, but like, you're a mother no matter what. Like, that is your baby. She could have lied and said, yeah, all natural,

babe, I'm going to be all natural. And then she had the epidural. Like, what is, what's the good in that pork communication? It's, I don't know. It's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, like, I, like, like, I, I, like, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, like, like, like, like, like, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.'re just refer to like that first like the the birth and the first couple years of raising a baby of being a parent I'm like being a parent's a lifetime thing like whether you're gonna be a good mom or dad is that's that's that's that's that child's whole life into adulthood and how you are a parent throughout their entire life is determining. Yeah to think like oh you have their their their their to like th. th. th. th. th. to like th. th. to like th. th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. to like th. to like the th. th. th. thi. their th. th. th. th. t. t. t. the first first first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. t. te. te. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell that. That's the full range of motherhood. Yeah. Yeah.

To say like, oh, you have to have pain during, you have to like go through this like traumatic, like horrible pain in order to like bond with other women on motherhood. It's just, it's so crazy. No. Yeah. There's so much before and after the actual like event exactly like women have to deal with. I feel like and this is probably a little bit of a spicy take where like I feel like people put so much on the pregnancy and having a baby and then then like postpartum depression is really tough and it's like it's like we put too much pressure on women in a lot of those

situations and yeah, it's not just having a baby, you are raising a human. That is a blip in the situation and also I'm pretty sure there's a scientific fact of like women tend to forget the physical pain, like their body does not remember how painful it was to give birth because in like when a species is reproducing, they don't want your body to remember the pain because they want you to keep reproducing. What I will also say is like, I think this also falls in line with a lot of people, kind of this whole thought,

where we forget that we're in a modern society, where we've like, kind of, like, like, childbirth is super dangerous, and it's, I think they have this thought of like, yeah, it's like, you go about it naturally and everything's going to work out because that's nature. It's like, no, naturally, women fucking died a lot in childbirth historically. This mom is fixate on the idea of all of this. It's like, I wish I was born another time, it crispy cream donut would have killed you. Like, that's the reality. Hearing Despisito would have blown your mind open.

So I think we know how the comments are going to go here. You're the assle. Your complete and utter selfishness is so overwhelming that I had to take a break while reading this pose. You and your wife will body is forever transformed. You are a full partner in parenting, but regardless of what mommy told you, the hours you spend laboring aren't even close to the full range of motherhood, so take a seat." OP responded, I appreciate that we will have very different roles in the process.

All I meant was I'm seeing the holistic experience as something we create together because we made this child the child, the child, I, I, I, I, the child, I, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, tho, tho, tho, and I, tho, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, is is is tho, tho, tho, and, tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and togu, and togu, and togu, and togu, and togu, and togu, and toguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuui, togui, together because we made this child together and we'll love this child together. Certainly we have different roles in the process. She's more the quarterback and I'm more the coach. So I know she... You come. You come. So I know she's the one working while I'm the one strategizing. Yeah you're more like the recruiter. You're the recruiter. So I know she's the one working while I'm the one strategizing. Oh God. Ew. Stop! There's already enough like objectification in football. Like these guys are just stats and numbers that are being subjected to concussions all the time.

You're not the fucking coach of your wife. For football fans, he's the urban mire of dad coaches. Someone's gonna get it. He's a really shitty coach. Okay. You're the asshole. This is akin to her saying you should go through major surgery without any anesthesia. She is giving birth, not you. You are not equal partners in this. You're a spectator while she is doing all of the work. So you get zero say in how she chooses to do it. At this point, you should consider yourself lucky if she allows you to be in the hospital room at all. O.P. responded to this comment.

By the way, that earlier one, negative or minus 690 downvotes. The O.P. responded to this comment. I don't think that's an accurate analogy. Women have been giving birth for thousands of years unmedicated. Pain management for surgery accounts for something unnatural occurring, i.e. cutting open a chest cavity. I know she's the one doing the work. I just feel like we are better off approaching as a team effort, so we should be aligned. Uh, 3,121 downboats.

That's some of the most downboats I think I've ever seen. Women were burned at the stake because we thought they were witches. They should be able to handle pain. I'm not a historian. I think that I think a historian would say that is actually incorrect. Yeah, for thousands of years they were finding ways to probably. Yeah, they probably like, they did all sorts of... They were doing way worse stuff. They would stick their thumb in the whiskey bottle and put the thumb in the baby's mouth. Like, shit was different then.

I think, I think like this is, and I'm not, I also don't agree with the take, like, we shouldn't let stupid people reproduce. people say shit online that it's just like you just you literally have like no idea like what a traditional birth is and like the dangers that come with it you're just you have this like we said already the romanticized idea of like a natural. It's also also very clear that his kids are gonna fucking hate him. I know it already. He's like I'm going to prom too. I'm going to prom to just as much as you are, son. Someone else said, you're the asshole, birth mortality is high enough. Why do you want to risk making

your wife a statistic? O.P. responded, I would never. I would do anything in the world to make sure she and my soon-to-be son are well. That's why I started this convoo with her to begin with. 206 downvotes. So OP was responding a lot. We have a bunch of responses. No context, let's just... Line around us. We get the idea of what's probably happening. I have done extensive reading on natural ways to control pain and ensure the baby makes it out with minimal damage to my wife.

So I don't think it's fair to suggest I have to bring to the experience. Jesus. Uh, 1,330 down votes. That's a show, that's somehow very chosen. With minimal damage done to my wife. Starting to, I rolled a D20 on birth. I started many ways to ensure zero pain. How do you do minimal damage during childbirth? I'm just picturing like it's a diagram of like a baby in the womb and he's got like like a thinnigh. Yeah, like to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the the thi. toooo. I told. I to to to like lines with like X's. Yeah, he's doing the coach, he's doing the playbook. I have like, you will never know. And one, okay, one thing I'll say really quick is like,

he's like, I never want to make my wife a statistic. He is by making her take part in a tradition because of the idea of it, simply because of is so much ego. It's control too. He's super controlling and shitty. Another one. I know, this is all from him. I know death is dangerous, but it's the physical aspect of the birth that's dangerous, not the experience of the pain. I'm confused why you're equating pain with danger.

1, 1, 19, 19 down votes. She is the patient, but so is my child. Doesn't that at least give me a 50% say? 50%? This guy is wild. The baby has more say than you do. I have definitely done the homework. I feel like I could deliver this baby myself at this point. Oh well. Oh god. Okay. I'm like, is this a troll? Is this a troll at this point? I have got to.

Is this a troll at this point? This has got, no, I think he's just showing his ass. No, I think he's just actually, I think he's getting madder and he's just like, and he's letting, he's letting it, the mask slip. Here's the last one. I'm not a doctor, but at this point I've read enough and watch enough YouTube videos that I have thu on the pain mitigation techniques of meditation, breathing, aroma therapy, massage, and affirmations. I have a variety of pain management techniques that do not require medication. Just about 3,000 down votes. Holy shit. Look, guys, I'm telling

you, and I keep telling my wife, I have learned ways to make sure my pussy does not hurt. And she just will not listen to me. Bro just breathe. It does, mine never hurts. Just really, this is the worst guy. I would agree with that. It's up there. It's definitely leaderboard for sure. Yeah, this is up there. It got worse. He just, oh, the mask slipped. Like as he started a rapid fire applying to people, like he showed his ass. This guy's th, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, th, th, th, th th.

The mask slipped, like as he started a rapid fire applying to people, like, he showed his ass. This guy's 34. That's true. He's like, he's set in his ways. Oh, do you know how many, do you know how any pictures of the, like, of a diagram of the vagina? He probably looked at before he had sex for the first time and he's like, I will know where the clitori cli.. I will th. I will the cli. I will the cli. I will the cli. I will the cli.

Let's go! We know it. We know it had to happen out there. I literally don't know what to do right now and I feel so helpless turning to Reddit for advice slash validation. But three days ago my boyfriend and I went to go see the Barbie movie I've been really excited as I'm a huge Greta Gerwig fan and my boyfriend likes Ryan Reynolds. Okay, but I'm a huge Gregger. Okay, but it is a funny fan and you're just like,, I'm just Ken, great. Where's Deadpool? Yeah.

Ken, great. Other than him being in the movie, my boyfriend didn't know anything else about it. I, on the other hand, was aware of its feminist themes and was secretly hoping my boyfriend would get the message. Over the duration of the movie, I could tell he was getting more and more uncomfortable, slash upset, and I was getting really sad, both from the movie and his reaction. And I knew we would end up having a conversation about it afterwards. He didn't talk to me until we got in the car.

He then told me that he was really offended by the movie and said that it was the kind of thing I should have watched with my girlfriends and not him. I understood where he was coming from, not going to even start explaining why I disagreed. We have been having problems with his weird comments about women, the LGBTQ community, and other stuff. He would deem it, bitch shit. Yeah, dude! Yeah, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, thiii.

I feel like, why wasn't that the line for you? Bicit? Oh, this dude's red-pilled. If he's saying that, oh, this guy is red-pilled so hard. Maybe it was a long time coming, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back. I was tired of having to always deal with his attitude and disrespect and was also maybe on this girl power high. So I told him it was over. The complicated part is this. He has been in between serving jobs and since he was my freaking boyfriend, I let him move in with me six months ago.

Living with him is a whole other story, but I couldn't take it anymore, and I had him leave my apartment the next day. I stated my friend's house while he packed up his stuff. He said he understood and that he didn't want to live with me another second anyways. I assumed he had a place to go, but apparently he didn't. His brother called me a few hours a few hours a to say, to, and he, and he, and he, and he, and he, and he, to, and, to, and, to, and, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th, th, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. my phone saying the same thing. I feel like this is all my fault. No one has heard from him in 24 hours. I did think it was weird when I came home and all the food in the fridge was gone. All the batteries in our electronics drawers were gone. He took my phone charger and half the blankets. I know now he did not in fact have anywhere to go. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I, I, I, th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, that, that, that, thr- that, thi, that, tho, th. No, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. No th. No tho, no tho, no tho, no tho, no the, no th. No th. No th. No th. No, no th. No, th. No, th. No, the, thi, thi, the, the, thi, the, the, the thr-he thr-he thr-he thr-he thr-he throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' the thr-he thr-he the the anywhere to go or a car. He had been using mine since his engine busted last month. The worst part is we still have his location and it's saying he is two states away. I don't know how he got there. I can't believe this is all because of a freaking Barbie movie.

Okay, there's something really funny. Like, he does what he's like, the tea. He does what he's like, I'm running away from home. No, he's being Ken. But he's like, oh, is that what Ken does? Yeah, so Ian unfortunately has not seen the Barbie movie at this point. In my defense, I also haven't seen Oppenheimer. Okay. Yeah, polar, polar opposites. Also, I don't watch that bitch shit.

So, he's literally being Ken. Yeah, that's very clear to me. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, I, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I that's, I th. Yeah, I th. Yeah, I th. Yeah, I th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. thi. thi. thi. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's very clear to me. I would be like scared. Yeah. For him or her? For her. I'm scared for her. I'm also scared for him. He just seems off the rails. I feel like he's like doing his like going out to the woods kind of thing like. Like tab it back in the paper nature. Yeah, I mean taking batteries is like, I'm sorry but that wreck-gill shit. Nature. Yeah, I mean, taking batteries is like, that's, I'm sorry, but that's weird. People, like, to remember, we've heard stories of people who like sell batteries for quick cash. Maybe, maybe he got a bus or a train ticket. I know he's still stamps. My interpretation is he probably got on a bus and he's just like going.

He's doing the incredible Hulk thing. He's just like hitchhiking down the road. Yeah. He's on a journey. He's all emotion. Just he is truly doing the Ken thing. Yeah. Some comments here. Ryan Reynolds isn't in Barbie. Yeah. Someone said you can break up for any reason you want to and he is a big boy who can take ta to tak their ta. Someone said he's MIA he's M M M M M M M M. he's a he's a he's a he's a he's a he's a he's a he's a big he's to he's to to he's a big to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to he he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. He is a he. He is a he. He is a he. He is a he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he is a big. He's he is a big. He's he is a big he is a big he is a big he he he is a big to. he is a big he is a big he is a big he is a big he is a big he is a big he he he he he he he You got his location so his phone is working. He's just refusing to answer. I doubt he had, I doubt he had nowhere to go. Sounds as if a lot of people are texting you. If he got two states away with all the things taken from your place, someone had to pick him up. I don't see anyone stopping for a man holding his thumb up for a ride, carrying loads of crap with him. Update. Oh.

Yeah, the update. I broke up with my boyfriend over the Barbie movie. Yeah, it wasn't over the Barbie movie. It sounds like this guy was a lot of problems. And I don't know. It seems like a pretty well-rounded guy. Yeah, it seems pretty chill. Hi, everyone.

I know everyone says this, but I really didn't expect this to blow up. I'm a little embarrassed, but in light of everything, I've learned over the past 24 hours, I'm once again oversharing on Reddit. Before anything else, I wrote that post in a frenzy of panic and guilt. With a clearer head, I can recognize that, yes, we broke up because we were incompatible and I was at my limit bigot and to that I agree. I was convinced I loved him but I think I just didn't really understand my value slash feel deserving of someone better. I've learned my lesson and as a woman of color

will never let myself be treated like that again. My biggest regret is that my loved ones had to endure him as well. Well I've been cheated on before but I the the the the break up. Since I found out about my ex as a a the th. th. th. th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, the the the the th, th, the, the the thee, th, the thee, thee, the the th, the the the the the the th, I, I, I the the the th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the the the the the the th, the, the the, the, the, the, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, te, thrown, the, the, thrown, the, the, the, the, the, out about my ex's cheating, after I broke up with him, I'm not exactly torn up about it. I feel like I skipped the questioning and sadness and went straight to the over it. But since I have everyone's attention, I'm just going to put him on blast right now. I can confidently say his beliefs were the worst part about him, and I'm not extremely surprised that he didn't respect me enough to to be loyal. But the way I found out was actually kind of funny. His brother has been keeping me semi-updated on the missing Ken situation. I haven't really been asking any questions other than how he and his family are doing.

They're not mad at me as they are aware of the situation. His brother even thanked me for taking care of him for as long as I did. He texted me this morning around nine, saying we don't need to worry anymore because he's at their cousin's house in Colorado Springs. Then around 12 in the afternoon I got multiple calls from a friend of his saying that he heard from my ex. This friend sucks so much I'm not even going to get into it. I supremely regret giving him my number. He was obviously under the influence of some sort, not to judge, but literally 12 p.m. at this point and he's telling me stuff like he is literally so much happier now that you let him go and that he just felt bad for me and that I was

charity work and then he said now he can be with his man for real his name getting some real pussy now. Literally pause I asked him to clarify and he gave me that oh shit laughing guy thing they do when they say something they they weren't supposed to. Then he said, fuck me and hung up. The potentially craziest part that's been getting to me is that he is definitely at his cousin's house, his brother confirmed.

I think I'm going crazy because I've seen his cousin on his instafeed before, and she's literally stunning. He said she's his second cousin, and I don't really, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the the, the the the the the the the the the the the the th, the th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, thi. thean, too, tean, thean, thi. thean, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, really know how related they are. If this is real, I can't even comprehend what this means. Maybe it's not real, I don't know, but I think it's the perfect ending to this story. I'm not going to update anymore after this because I feel like I'm already going to regret this update. But final notes, he must have taken all this stuff from the house out of spite. I found out he took the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries the batteries from the batteries the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries, the batteries from the remotes and my hair blow dryer too. I don't know how he got to his cousin's house, I didn't ask, or what happened to my Dyson air wrap, but maybe his cousin slash girlfriend is using it now. In the spirit of Barbie, she can have it I guess. And yes, I know

I said Ryan Reynolds when it was Ryan Gosling. Like that one comment said facial blindness is real. That's all. Wow. Wow. I mean, he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he's wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. he's he's he's he's he's th. th. he's thi he thi, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, th th thi, thi, thi, th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. ttttogee. togu. too. took, took, took, took took took thi thi. thi. th just, I guess he just needed to find somebody that he had more in common with. Like DNA? DNA. Yeah. Holy crap. Wow. That is, I don't think that's an epic Kenmondrum.

Because Ken would not fuck his cousin. This guy's worse than Ken. Top comment. Did not see this coming. What a canundrum. Spelled with a K. Oh, funny. Someone else said, what in the Alabama? Yeah. Someone said, so he's a bigot, thief, and potentially a cousin fucker.

You didn't dodge a bullet. You dodged a cannonball. A Kennball. Someone said, girl, you better file a police report over that Dyson. Those things are $600. Yeah, he's definitely not blow-drying his nards with it, I'll tell you that. It's a good callbacks. Wow, that's a lot, bro. Yeah, I truly think it's actually an insult to Ken to compare this guy to Ken. Yeah, Ken is naive. that's tha. tha. tha is naive is naive is naive is naive is naive is naive is naive. tha. tha is naive is naive. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's naive. that's naive. that's naive. that's naive. that's naive. that's naive is naive is naive is naive. that's naive is naive. to that's not thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeeeeeeeee to the the the the thi. thi. thi's thi. thi. th evil. But he's got a good heart. Yeah. It's not evil on this level.

I think it's great that like a movie can like show people's like true colors and like kind of like. Oh, the Barbie movie is absolutely a. The Barbie test. It's a great like litmus test for it. Yeah, it truly is. We're not a fan of the... I think the Barbie test is valid. I think if you're dating, if you're a woman dating a man and you question whether he's a good guy or not, whether it could work, go see the Barbie movie or watch it at home together and be like, what'd you think? What'd you think?

I mean, there's a lot, I feel like there's a lot of stuff now where like if you see somebody get triggered by some media and like you know use the W word you're like oh yeah it's got to be a challenge for for women to avoid like the red pill stuff because I mean I mean at least it gets right out there in the front you know like like it sucks like a red flag yeah I don't know why people are like I that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the w. the w. the w. the the w. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the w. the the the the w. the the the the the the w. the the the the the the thethere in the front, you know, like, it sucks like- Easily spot a red flag. Yeah, I don't know why people are like, I, when I was really young, had a boyfriend that like gave like Marika vibes. And I was just like, yeah, it's just like, oh, I guess it's just like his thing. And like women sometimes feel like they have to just accept their partner's beliefs because because of whatever reason, it's like, you, oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't, I, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I th th th th th th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, like, like, like, I don't th, like, like, like, I don't th, like, th, like, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I don't th, I th have to just accept their partner's beliefs because of whatever reason. It's like no if you like we need some critical thinking we need some few steps ahead thinking of like do you want to spend the rest of your life hearing that? Well her mistake was I mean

she was going to this movie thinking like oh maybe this will kind of he he he is who he is that's not gonna change. If he's saying bitch shit, that is 100% that guy is, and you do accept that. I do believe people change, but you in a relationship, you cannot expect that to happen. And you certainly can't do it to someone. No. And change can take a long ass time. Look, maybe 30 years from now, this guy th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and th. th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thii. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thii. thi. thi, and years from now this guy might be different. He might go, yeah, I was a horrible person when I was young. But we don't know that and you can't bank on that, you need to move on. And thankfully she has moved way the hell on. Yeah, maybe when him and his cousin have kids, her nieces and nephews or whatever, you call them, maybe then he'll learn. Would little women, would little women? Would, and ork movie for her to send them to?

Or that would have been one? He would have, she would have figured it out quicker, probably. All right. Last story. Okay. This one's a little lighter than these previous ones. Today I fucked up by accepting an invitation to a concert. This morning a cute girl invited me to a concert saying,

my brother and I have hung out with them a few the the the the the the the the th the th the the th the the th th th the the th th I have an extra ticket to this concert tonight. I have hung out with them a few times and I've been meaning to ask her out out, so I was totally on board. That being said, I don't like the band or even the genre of music, but it was worth it to hang out with her for several hours. I talked to the brother to to to to to to to to to to to the br the br the br to the brother to the brother to the brother to the venue is two hours away. When he picked me up, there was only him and a random dude I didn't know in the car. Turns out she had a date elsewhere tonight and was trying to get someone to take her ticket.

And I didn't find this out until I was too late to bail without being an asshole. No. TLDR spent 12 was free to go on a date. Her brother was chill though. Edit, for those asking the brother and I are both straight, sorry to disappoint, it was a country concert, jelly roll. Jelly roll. It sounds like it'd be like country rap. Yeah I, the only, look this is light. This shit happens. If, if the phrasing is what she said of my brother and I have an extra ticket to this concert tonight to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the th. the the th. the the th. their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the. the. tc, tc, tc, tc, tc, tc-I. tc-I. tc-I. try, tip, their, their, their, t she said of, my brother and I have an extra ticket to this concert tonight, then he definitely assumed he was going with her and him.

Yeah. Yeah. That sucks for him. But she also probably doesn't know that he's into her. I mean, the way she cut it up, it sounded dishonest. Because like, Angela, sometimes that's extra tickets to stuff, but she's very clear, like, hey, these are my friends or whoever's tickets. Do you want them to take somebody else?

Like, you gotta be clear on those plans. That's true. I think there's anything wrong with like not being a fan of the music and wanting to go to something because you're interested in this person. I don't you're interested you're interested th th, but that's what sounds like she was way more dishonest. So someone said, no way, that's rude. As soon as I found out, I would have left the car. OPE responded, I should mention that the brother is chill,

but doesn't have many friends, and he wasn't complicit. He thought I knew I was taking her ticket. So I didn't want to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the to to the to the the the the to to the the, th th th th th thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, thi, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. that, that, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that want to bail on him at the last minute. Someone else said, did you have to pay for the ticket? He said, luckily no, it only cost me my Saturday. Someone said, is the brother single? Totally thought it was going to turn out that it was the brother that had a crush on him. And then someone else said, who is to say that, that still isn't the case. I think. I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th.
