Starting point is 00:01:52 Am I the asshole for telling my friend to stop flaunting her money and calling her a gold digger? Okay, maybe. I, a 39-year-old woman have been BFFs with Jill 40 since we were in high school. Between the two of us, she's always been a bombshell, blonde, tall, slim, big boobs, etc. She never dated anyone in high school, which was weird to me because almost everyone in our school did, including myself. When we were in college and she was still turning guys down, I asked her why and she said she wants someone who is financially stable. I laughed it off at the time. I should also mention she grew up poor, as in her
Starting point is 00:02:28 mother was going to the food bank poor. After we graduated, she got a job at a gym teaching yoga. I continued my education to be a teacher. She eventually met someone at the gym and he's rich. Like I can't even comprehend the kind of money this guy has. Fast forward forward. F. F. F. to th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

I the of money this guy has. Fast forward to now, they're married with two kids and I believe she signed a pre-up when they married. We were out to dinner on the Saturday that just passed with two other friends from college and she wanted to go to a very expensive place. Her treat. She does this a lot. Flants her money, clothes, trips, etc. I always try try try try to to to to to to to smile to s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s sloe, I the the the the the toe, the thoes, their their their their the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their clothes, cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl clen, the the the the the the the the the the the the thoes, thoes, thoes, throes, throes.oesloesloesloesloes, th-s.ooesn. thr-upeoes, the the the the thr-upe. the theto smile and ignore it, but it has been slowly bothering me. The dinner was going fine until one of our friends, Amanda, asked Jill what she had planned for her birthday.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Jill said she and her husband are going to grease for three weeks. Amanda and Sharon both made comments about how nice and lovely that is, and I kind of scoffed at it. When Jill asked me what was wrong, I admittedly lost it. I told her I'm tired of hearing her flaunting her money at everyone all the time and everyone knows she only married her husband for money. It got really quiet for a couple of seconds and to my surprise, Jill very calmly asked if that's what everyone really thought.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I said yes. Jill then asked if it was at all possible that she initially dated him for his money, but fell in love with him along the way. Both our other friends said, of course, at the same time, I said no. I told her she fell in love with what he can provide for her. She then asked me if I love what my boyfriend provides for me, which was different because I never started dating him for those things.
Starting point is 00:04:05 She countered that with, of course you did. If you were just attracted to him but he wasn't loving, providing, caring, you wouldn't still be in a relationship with him, and if you were, if you were, it would be an unhappy and unhealthy one. I argued it's still not the same thing. She then stood up and said she has other places to be be the to about the bill. She left and the three of us finished our meal in silence. When the server came around, he handed me the bill for my meal only. This chick's awesome. This is the best chick alive.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Oh my God! She paid for herself and the other two, but left me to pay for an almost $50 that I really couldn't afford. I texted her and called her an asshole. She replied saying not to message her again until I apologize for my earlier comments. I admit I might have been too hard, but I don't think I'm wrong. So am I'm not trying to be money insensitive here? You might be. She took us to this really fancy restaurant. It's called P. F. Changs. And it's just it's just it's just it's just it's just it's just it's just it's just it's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just.

It's just just just just just just just th. It's just just just just just just just not trying to be money insensitive here, but an entree
Starting point is 00:05:06 and two drinks, that's at least 70 bucks. What's your, what's your guys? Is she the asshole? She's absolutely an asshole. Yeah, yeah, she is. Yeah, it's, there's clearly another issue. There's something, something else is brewing. Uh, wanting your money by like taking your friends out. Dude, if I had a rich friend who is constantly trading me to shit, I don't know, maybe, I understand how some people don't like that,
Starting point is 00:05:29 but for me I'm like, fuck yeah, like spoil me, bro. You can pay for my dinner. Yeah. Any time you. What are you doing tonight and tomorrow and the next night? But yeah, like people, people do have money, so it's just like this did not need to be an outburst in front of friends, like at the dinner table. That was, that feels like, I mean, that feels super inappropriate to me. If at any point, you find yourself initiating a dinner outburst, you're the asshole.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah. Yeah. They've been friends since high school so she's seen this friend through all sorts of things and like she's in a different phase and she's not like kind of happy that her friend found her dream like found her dream life you know it's it's like yeah she's not like flaunting it in a shitty way. They should have offlined about it. She should have been honest. I mean it's one of those things where you have to be vulnerable, like, damn, dude, you know, I feel, I feel envious. I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel bad about my own life because you've got such a good thing going. O.P. needs to look in the mirror. She wants her friend to feel bad, though, and that's what makes her the asshole-ish.
Starting point is 00:06:36 And to be clear here, Jill has two children? Yeah. Married with two children. And this girl said, you only married him for the money. This is someone who is so deeply settled into her life, and you are holding on to high school resentments? No, no, no. I don't want to diminish the pain that perhaps she caused you in your childhood, but I want to tell you, it is time to heal and maybe look at yourself and realize that someone else's life does not hold bearing on your own. But it sounds like there wasn't even high school trauma,
Starting point is 00:07:10 like it was just like, why are you dating? She's like, I don't know, like, I want a rich guy. It's like, okay? There's a weird, it's like, okay? My friend was a virgin dork. Which was, it was strange she was a virgin because I wasn't. Yeah. It's just strange, like, it just feels like she can't grasp other people's lives a little bit. Just to be clear, the move of paying for everyone about your friend, most baller. So funny.
Starting point is 00:07:41 It all the thing anyone's ever done. I think OP is the crazy friend in the group, but she thinks she wants this friend to be the crazy friend. She thought she ate. Because the way she talks about Jill responding, Jill was like, is that true? Is that true? Yeah. Like, okay, I'm sorry. Yeah, of like hysterics. This sounds like a Seinfeld character. I just want to point out like there's some weird shit in her writing
Starting point is 00:08:07 Like her pointing out that they got a pre-up. I'm like, okay. Yeah, okay. You probably should. Why did you throw that in there? Yeah, like you hate this person? And you're trying to convince us to hate this person and it's not working. What's funny? She mentioned the pre-up. the- She's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she's, she, she, the the their, their, their, their, their, their, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, they're, they're, they're, they they they they they they they they got, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they they they they they they they they they they they they they's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they're, they're, their, their,, she mentioned the pre-nup which also kind of goes against her hypothesis. Yeah. Because it's like, oh, they signed a pre-up so she wouldn't get money if they, like, it just doesn't, none of this adds up, but should we go to Greece? Yeah, I think we should do three weeks in Greece. I think we should do three weeks in Greece. Let's go meet up with Jill. Also, OPE knows. knows, you don't have to be friends with people you don't like, right? That's not required. Yes, legacy friends is a real thing, not when you into your 30s. You drop that shit. Cut it out. But I think if she were to stop being friends with her, how does she justify it in her head? She's trying to justify it, and she can't. And so she's trying to find a way. Okay, give us some comments. I wanna know this juicy shit.
Starting point is 00:09:06 You're the asshole. So when Jill treats you and other friends for a lovely dinner, her treat, she's a gold digger flaunting her money. But when she leaves you with your portion of the bill to pay, you can't afford it, and she's an asshole for not paying your bill. stick to it. That's very true. You're the asshole eagerly taking her money for a free lunch but jealous when she spends it with her husband. I love how Jill left you with the bill, crying, laughing, emoji. You're the asshole. Jill could not have handled that situation more perfectly. She is not only more beautiful than
Starting point is 00:09:36 you and wealthier than you. She has more class in her pinky than you possess in your entire body and jealousy is consuming you. That must be a terrible way to live. Yeah, I didn't think of that element. She probably like, this friend, she, she mentions like, oh, she was always so beautiful and like, perfect. So she, but she was like, but I have some sort of standing over you. I think she's jealous of the husband. I think she's in love with Jill. it. Print it. Whoa. Jennifer's body situation. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's contentious because everyone feels different.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And you mentioned like finances are important, but some people finances are a consideration in marriage. Like that matters to some people. And at the end of the day, if two people are married, for whatever reason they're married is like straight up their business. She's trying to like say they're not in love. That's, I don't know. It's just doesn't feel like it's like it's like it's not,
Starting point is 00:10:29 that's not your choice. It's just not your like, yeah. All right. Like even if she was like, yeah, it's like, all right. It's like, okay, don't know. If O.P. is watching, I would, a lot of people are calling you an asshole right now. I want to say, just focus on yourself. You don't need... Someone else's life does not hold bearing on your life.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Eyes on your own paper. Who gives a shit what your friend is doing? You're too old for this shit. That's so true. Book your own grease trip. Yeah, dude, go to grease. I'll go with you. Even though you're not as hot as Jill. Yeah, it's true. Next story. Am I the asshole for asking my girlfriend
Starting point is 00:11:12 to use different body wash? Huh, okay. Let's hear him out. All right, buddy. This post was on August 12th, 2023, so this is recent. Okay. This person still stinks. The main thrust of this post is, I am allergic to nuts and my girlfriend's body wash contains almond oil.
Starting point is 00:11:33 It isn't life-threatening for me to come in contact with it, but it does cause hives. I asked my girlfriend, Jess, to change the body wash she uses, as I am getting hives from residue of her body wash in th shower. Jess was initially fine with it after a small back and forth, but has since spoken to friends and believes that I am being too controlling, as do her friends. My friends are mostly neutral with a couple saying that I need to nut up and let her use whatever she wants. Okay, a little bit of added context is that we recently decided we wanted to move in together and decided to do a trial run as Jess still lives with her parents and I rent my own place. So it's easy enough for her to move in with me for a few months to see if living together
Starting point is 00:12:14 full-time works for us. It's never been a problem before now, as I've never had a reaction from the residue that is left in the shower, usually on the removable shower head, which I need to use to get clean because I'm a big dude, and just leaving it up there doesn't reach everywhere. Jess has always been aware of my allergies. She doesn't eat nuts if she knows we are going to do anything together, and the few times when she has, she thoroughly brushes her teeth before seeing me. So that's the post. I was right. I was right.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, I feel like that's pretty cut and dry. Change your fucking body wash. What are you talking about? As someone with sensitive skin over here, I get all sorts of itchy. It is not fun. Hey, I'm allergic to that. It's like, hey, you're being really controlling right now. Stop. You're being really fucked up. It's like, no, like, you know, it's the thing where people kind of weaponize these like therapy terms or what.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I mean, it's not to, to that extent, but it's like, this is not controlling. This is like, you know, a relationship. You know,'re going to live together, it's like, hey, I'm allergic to this. It's like, okay. Are people fucking insane? What are you talking about? Change your, why are we having this conversation? Change your goddamn body wash. It's making me itchy.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. Okay, I have hives on my body wash. There are 8,000 body washes in the world. I'm sorry that you can't smell like fucking nuts. Okay? Change your goddamn body wash. I have hives on my body. I get, okay, if I have the wrong detergent in my bedsheets or in my shirt, my armpits get red and they crack and it hurts and it's it's itchy and it's not fun. If I drink the wrong thing, I take, I shit for days, okay? Allergies are serious and they're not fun. If I drink the wrong thing, I take, I, I, I shit for days, okay? Allergies are serious and they're not fun. I'm not doing this because I'm trying to control you. I'm doing this because my body hates me. Evolution should have weeded me out. I'm a weak person, you need to help me out. I'm a wounded little baby bird fucking protect me. Oh my God, go to hell.
Starting point is 00:14:27 So I think we know how Zach feels. By the assholes? No. Yeah. And the consensus is. So my theory, because he talks about like when he first brought it up to her there was a bit of a back and forth. And then she went, so it sounds like she was hesitant from the get-go. I don't think she told her friends the full story.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I don't know if she told them that he's allergic. She's like, so she's... he's asked me change my body. He tells me I fucking stink. He says I don't, yeah, that's my theory, but I could be completely wrong. So there's a comment here th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their 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. I th. I th. I the. I the. I the. told. told. toe. told. toe. toe. toe. tho. tho. tho. tho. thoe. tho. thoe. th.'s even questioning that let alone thinking you're controlling. It's a health issue. O.P. responded, I think that because it's not life-threatening, they see it as unnecessary for her to have to change it. They think that me getting her to do so is controlling because it's not needed. Okay. I fully disagree. That's just. Unless there's something that's being left out of the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, th, th, unless, unless, unless, unless, th, th, unless, unless, th, unless, unless, unless, th, th, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, unless, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, thi, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. the, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the story, yeah, cut and dry. He was voted not the assle, so. Dump her. Yeah. Update.
Starting point is 00:15:29 So six days later, on August 20th, this was posted. I know that I only responded to like one comment, but the amount that I received was honestly overwhelming. So thank you to everyone who responded. I did read all of them. I thought I'd post this update to tell the the the update, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, tho, thi, and, thi, thi, thi, and, and, and, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, and, thi, and, and, and, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thought I'd post this update to tell you guys what happened and explain a little bit of why I made the initial post. For those who are wondering about ages, I'm 21 and Jess is 25. My friends hover around my age and hers hover around her age. I wish I could come back and say that I had seen my own value and got myself out of the relationship, but the truth is that Jess broke up with me.
Starting point is 00:16:04 is that Jess broke up with me two days after the post. I was still thinking and she asked to meet up to discuss things. I went in hoping for the best, but was met by her telling me that it wasn't working, and she didn't see a future for us where we were both happy. That hurt a lot of you the past few days, sort of realizing how stupid my original post here was. Of course I'm not an asshole for not wanting to come into contact with some and something, and something, and something, and something, and something, and some, and some, and some, and some, and some, and some, and some, and some, and I, and I, the the the the the the the the the the the the th, and I, and I, th, th. And, thi, th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, the th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the is the is the is the is the is theee is the is thean, the is theei. the is the is thi, I'm allergic to. I think a lot of you probably wondered why I even had to ask. The truth is that I felt like I was going crazy. I genuinely liked and respected her friends. I thought they were really smart. So to be told that this was the opinion of my girlfriend as well as theirs made me take it very seriously. When I went to my friends and received no support or validation, I started, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to me, to me, to me, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, thrown, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to th th th thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr, thr. thr. thr. thrown, to to throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. thr. thr. thr-a, thr, I started to convince myself that I was wrong. I also actually learned from the comments that continued exposure could worsen my reactions, so that's handy to know now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Am I the asshole? Every time I go to kiss my girlfriend, she rubs peanut butter on her lips first. And I just, I don't know if I want to come into contact with that. I love that she called him for coughing is like a world where I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. I thi. I thi. I to thi. 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 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 th. I th. I the. I the. I the the the the the the the the thean. theean. theean. thean. I to to to to to to to to to to to to with that. I love that she called him for coughing and it's like, a world where I don't smell like nuts is a world that I don't want to live in. Yeah. My theory on that is, it sounds like she was checked out of the relationship before this issue even came up, and like she just, I don't know, because it's so, I think if she cared about him, you'd think, like, yeah, but it sounds like she didn't care about him at this point.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Like, she was done. The age gap, it's not problematic, it's just a little funny to me. Twenty-one-year-old dude dating a 25-year-old chick. It's a little funny. It's not like deeply funny. 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, 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, it's like, it's like, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's like, okay, why are you dating a little, little dude? I don't know. What's funny is, when I was 21, if a 25-year-old woman dated me, I would have thought that. Right, I'd be like, why? Why are you dating me?
Starting point is 00:17:57 There was one comment on this. This dude dodged a bullet. I can't imagine not wanting to fix something easy to prevent someone else from having negative health effects. The fact that she went as far as to call him controlling is crazy. I feel for the next dude she treats terribly. There's gotta be more that we're not hearing. Yeah. Because again, this is one side.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Like, what else is going on or like, I don't know. But like, even if my partner was like, I don't like the way that body wash smells, I'd be like, oh, well, like, I'll change it. Like, I don't know, unless I have a condition where I have to use that body wash. And maybe I'm just a pushover. If she tells me that she doesn't like my shoes, I'm th to have you. I'm just happy to be here. No, I mean, like, it's an honor to be nominated. If it's like an easy pivot, like. Yeah. Another element is they recently moved in together.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Yeah, they're doing like a trial run of moving in together. And I do think, I do think for relationships, it can like make or break super fast. Not fed up that he's doing anything wrong, but she's fed up because they have very different living situations. It sounded to me like she had a lot of animosity towards him. Can I just say across the board, point Blake, don't move in with your partner when you're 21. You're too young. Don't do it. But I will say, like, moving in with someone is a, it is a huge thing.
Starting point is 00:19:23 It's a huge thing. It's th and I and I and I th. And I th. And I 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. 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. that. that. It's theeea. It's theea. It's thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. It's a huge thing and I have often said, the things that I think make or break a relationship are like what your bathroom counter looks like. Yeah. Like how you organize your drawers. That shit will rip a relationship apart faster than things that you think are huge. That's why I think a trial run, I think that's really smart. And look, this is what it was what it was th was th was th was what it was th was what it was th is what it was th is what it was th is what it was th. th. th. th. thi thi?? thi? thi? thi? thi? the trial, 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. 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. think a trial run I think that's really smart. Yeah and look this is what it was for and he they both realized and you failed and they failed the trial run and he's super young he should not tell like I think don't tolerate that type of stuff in 21 be like hey you know I'm gonna try it out with someone else. Next story am I the asshole for tellainthe-I 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 th th th th thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. they're the the the the they're the the they's the the the the they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they they they th th they th th they they the the they the the the the the thi try tm. try try try try try try try try try try try try try try they they they they they they they they're they try telling my girlfriend her 90s nostalgia was cringy and to move past it. All right, fuck you dude.
Starting point is 00:20:06 What's the 90s where a lot happened in the 90s. What's the nostalgia for? Yeah, she loves George H.W. is so much. Okay, my girlfriend is obsessed with the 90s. We were both born in the beginning of that decade. This wasn't a problem until we moved in together at the beginning of this year. There it is. She has there it is again. She has one of those built-in VCR player TVs and a fuck ton of videotapes. Badass. She has she has console games too, the newest being the N64. She loves the hell out of that damn N64 and constantly wants me to play with her. I can't stand it. The graphics are so bad. She doesn't like newer games because the graphics are scary.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Whatever that means. Uh, those... Sorry, I thought it was real. I thought that train was coming out of the screen. What is this? It's a game cube. I can't... The mansion that Luigi's in it. It's so scary! She. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's tho' thi's thi's thi's that' that' that' that's that's that' that' that' thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that that that that's that's that- that- that- that- the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that that that that that that that that that that that that that the that that that that that that that that that th. I can't do this. The mansion that Luigi's in it. It's so scary. Those damn videotapes take up so much space. It's ridiculous. She only has about 10 tapes she watches constantly. I thought it would be nice to get these on DVD. She never even opened them.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Things came to a head today. When my girlfriend likes a song, she will listen to that one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one song on replay for days. This was the situation. I came home from work to hear you were meant for me by Jewel for the fucking millionth time this week. I snapped my mom, do you like? I got enough of that song in the 90s. We should have left it there. Bro. I think there's only so many times someone can hear that fucking song before it becomes psychological torture.
Starting point is 00:21:43 . Someone can hear that fucking song before it becomes psychological torture. All of the frustration I felt for these things was unleashed upon her. She didn't even have anything to say. She just sat there looking sad. I did feel a bit bad, but I think these things needed to be said. He's speaking to the wrong crowd too, because I think on Reddit, a lot of these people, they'd be like, that at the time. It's like badass. My girlfriend wants to name our daughter Link. I think you, I don't know, hate your girlfriend is what I'm hearing.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Because like, I don't think that any of these things are good or bad. It's clearly who she is. It's really funny. She's scared of modern graphics, though. That's pretty who she is. It's really funny she's scared of modern graphics, though. That's pretty funny. Yeah. That's really. I mean, look, you found a girlfriend who's got her little fun TV and her VHS, and you don't like it.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Like, that's on you. I would say, let's just break down the different elements here, because there's a lot of MI the assholes within this. If your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your your th th th th th th th th. we're playing one song on loop forever and ever and ever. I think that you can say, hey, I've heard this song many, many times, maybe a little earbot, little air pot, well, I guess she probably has a walkman, so.
Starting point is 00:22:56 At no point does he say that they've had conversations about this before? Like, he just blew up on her. Some comments here, you're the assel. Of course she doesn't have anything to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say then anything then, thiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I've th.

Some comments here, you're the asshole. Of course she doesn't have anything to say. Her partner jumped on her for liking something. What do you really love? Now imagine your girlfriend telling you it's stupid and that you should stop.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Not nice. Don't be a jerk. You're the asshole. I hate Seinfeld specifically because the damn show is a repeat in my house. I want to drown Kramer in a bucket, but seeing my boyfriend laugh and smile is 100%... Kramer would never fit in a bucket. Yeah, he's way too tall. But seeing my boyfriend laugh and smile is 100% worth grinding
Starting point is 00:23:34 my teeth to nubs every time I hear Elaine's stupid, fricking voice. Okay, you lost me there. He has no idea I hate it. I'd never ever take away a single thing that brought him joy. Someone commented, don't hate on the N64. I think this guy just sucks at Super Smash Brothers. Yeah, frustrated. He's like, can we please play Ultimate? And she's like, no, that's scary.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Link looks way too real. We're biased because I feel like, um, we have a lot of 90s nostalgia. I get it though that 64 does kind of suck. We should cut that. It's like the controller's terrible like most of the games like run at like 20 frames a second like all pop on Mario 64 occasionally like that game and super smash have aged really well. The majority of the end. A sniper dot. Yeah the majority of the N64 library like is not great. I, you, you, you want to love. I'm like. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to cut to cut to cut to cut to cut to cut cut to cut cut. I, we, we should like, we should like, we should like, we should like, to cut.

You, you want to say in that with my whole chest. You want to lock that in on this video? I'm locking that in. Yeah. Yeah. Like, look, we're not editing that out. You're the director of games. I'm fine with that. I think it's a, it's one of the worst controllers. It's like. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one. It's one.

Starting point is 00:24:47 I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but objectively, if you don't have nostalgia for the N-64, it's not good. I am not going to say anything. I did, I tried downloading Golden Eye on the switch. Holden is awful. Oh, h- ha! Holy crap! Great music, like iconic, like, sound effects, but like the actual gameplay, infuriating. Maybe you just suck.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Valid. This is my take. This is 100% my take. You're allowed to have that, man. I'm allowed to have that. Comments? Do your thing. But relative to other consoles at the time? No, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, 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, 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, the the that. Comments? Do your thing. But relative to other consoles at the time? No, I just mean like it was like kind of like the the early onset of 3D. Like it was really hard to
Starting point is 00:25:30 to do like so that's why like the the best ones like Mario 64 has aged super well. Did you write this post? Yeah, yeah, I hate my girlfriend. Yeah, I hate my girlfriend. That's all I have to say. The boyfriend is not. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. I th.

But like the boyfriend is not, the boyfriend is not, the boyfriend is not, yeah, the boyfriend is not raising these legitimate issues. Tune in, tune in to every Smosh Games live stream on Thursdays from here on out, where the chat will be talking about this. Yeah. No. I think the ultimate thing that we're taking away here is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, tha, tha, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.. And, thi, thi, thi, that we're taking away here is don't hate on something
Starting point is 00:26:06 people like. You know, like, don't, or don't tell them not to like it. Also understand that what people like is part of who they are. Yeah, that's, again, that's, that's important. This is what you sign, I mean, yeah, if you don't like this, again, you just don't like your girlfriend. I want to say, here at this office, we are a very opinionated bunch and we love video games, we love movies and TV, and everyone here has very different tastes, and the way we converse is very respectful. We have this type of conversation where someone will be like, oh dude, I love that movie,
Starting point is 00:26:37 and they'll be like, dude, I think that movie's trash. But we're not saying like, you're stupid, that, I that, I 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 a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's, I, I'm that, I'm that's a thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that, that, that's, that's, that's, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi view, but we're acknowledging, hey, that's my point of view. Doesn't mean you're wrong and I'm right. Just that's my point of view. And that's fun. But when it goes to this, that bad. Bad. Also, what? You think I'm going to not watch?
Starting point is 00:26:57 the VHS of Dunstan checks checks sick as hell. That aspect of this I think is so cool. You have any VHSs that you watched so much that you burned a hole in the tape? I did that when I was a kid with Beauty and the Beast. There were definitely movies that I watched a lot. I remember the tapes would get messed up and you have to stick the pencil and rewind I had a combo VHS DVD player in college, and when I was driving up to college, I went over a bump, and so the DVD got stuck in there. What was it?
Starting point is 00:27:30 Josie and the pussycats. Nice. Next story. Okay. Am I the asshole for buying a murder house and not having a problem living in it? Throw away because I don't want this on my main. Throwaway account. They made a brand new account just to to to the to to to to the to to to to the to to to the to to 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, I the, I the, I the d.

Starting point is 00:27:48 Cool, cool. I'm a 40 year old man. My fiance, Sarah, is 37 and her daughter Kim is 16. Kim's dad died when she was six. Karen and I met when Kim was 10. I didn't meet Kim together over a year and new things were serious. My relationship with Kim isn't parental, but we get along without fuss most of the time. I feel more like an uncle figure than a parental figure. You're the asshole.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It's your fucking stepdaughter, no. I don't really see her as a daughter. She's just kind of like a dude I live with. The fuck are you talking about? A dude who happens to be a 16 year old girl. Oh my God. Kara's mother was just in a major car accident and she couldn't leave Kim due to her online school schedule. Kim had friends over without permission the last time she was left alone for a few days. So Kara asked if she could stay with me for the next few weeks. She doesn't have a firm return date yet, and I agreed.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I bought a house a few years ago and finished the renovations and remodel last fall. I got it cheap because a murder occurred here over a decade ago, and no one touched it until I fixed it up. It's not like there was blood or anything anywhere, and the way I see it, someone probably died in most houses and buildings that exist. Preach. It sucks, but death is everywhere. Kim has been staying with me since Saturday, and she even seemed excited when I gave her the grand tour. I showed her to the basement hangout and said she could have a friend or two over if she wanted
Starting point is 00:29:15 so they could have some fun. After all, I know she's worried about her grandma. I even showed Kim the room I put together for the room, Kim the room I put together for her which made her cry because she must have thought she'd just be in a guest room. Yeah because she wants a dad. I wanted her to feel at home because this would be her home when she and her mother move in. Things were going great until I found Kim crying in the kitchen this morning. She went for a walk when she woke up and upon chatting with a neighbor down the street. What? Heythe murder that happened. What? Hey, you moved into that house, eh?
Starting point is 00:29:45 I thought, I thought for sure, this- That's literally what he talked to. I thought that's like a fucking Scooby-Doo, but I thought for sure it was going to be the dad setting up. I thought the dad and there's just like, so looking to enter that house, see? I see you're in the McGillicuddy house. Literally, this is... Nasty business. The neighbor was very descriptive and told her far more details than I knew. Jesus. And Kim asked why I didn't tell her. I was honest and told her that I knew a major crime happened but it was over a decade ago by now. It's not. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, I, I'm, to, to me, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, 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 the the the the the the the the the the the, the. thi, thi. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. too. too. too. the that I don't care, but the price of this house was too good to pass up.
Starting point is 00:30:27 There's no way I could have afforded a house this nice and this big under normal circumstances. Kim demanded that I sell the house because she doesn't want to live here when she and Kara told her that's not happening. I have not listened to a 16-year-old girl telling-o, the girl, the girl, told me, the girl, the girl, told me, the to-o, the the the the to-o, the to-o, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho, the the the tho, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, th. tttttttttttttttto to to to to to to to to to to to the too too thoo the th she doesn't want to live here when she and Kara move in with me. I told her that's not happening. Kara is too preoccupied with her mom to deal with this right now but Kim is at my throat. Kim thinks I'm cruel for not caring enough about her to sell my house. When I told her that I care about her and even made sure she has her own room she snapped and said that I just just don't get it. Am I an asshole for not having an issue living here? I want to know about the murder. Yeah, so Kim, the daughter, talks to probably this, in my head, creepy-ass neighbor who goes into full detail, more details than he knew, and now she's just thinking about that in this house. Of course she probably is like, dude, I cannot live here. But he's
Starting point is 00:31:27 also, look, as an adult, he's like, dude, I bought a house, like, I can't afford a different house. Now I'm saying this without context. I think there's some context in the comments here. Even before the context, can I say? I think he's asking the wrong question. It's not am I the asshole for being okay living in this house, it's am I the asshole for not treating my future stepdaughter like a daughter. Like he's treating her just like some fucking roommate. How long have they been together? You need to care about what this person thinks and you need to work to make her comfortable. To the same? It's not like, yeah. A work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, 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 their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their, their their their, their, their, thea, their, their, their their theate. their, t don't, it's not like, yeah, great that you're, I have no problems living in this house. Your family has a problem living in this house and you need to be a father figure and step in. Well, I think, I think he said, uh, Kara is too
Starting point is 00:32:15 preoccupied with her mom to deal with this right now, but Kim is at my throat. So the mom hasn't necessarily said that she doesn't want them them to live to live them them them them them them them to them them them them them to them to live them to live them them them to live them to live to live to live to live their to live to live to live to live to live to to their their. their. to to to to to to to to to to to bea. to bea. to bea. to bea. to bea. to bea. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. Ia. I. Ia. Ia. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm.

Let's see if the comments clears some stuff up. Here's a comment from OP. I was planning on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on sitting on a their's history soon anyways due to their lease ending after the summer, but I hadn't thought
Starting point is 00:33:07 that my neighbors would gossip about what happened before I could talk to them first, especially Kim because she's still a kid. Someone else said no one's the asshole. As a rule I don't like to call teenagers the asshole here, especially ones going through major life changes like Kim is, which is why I said no one's the asshole versus not the asshole. Teens behave irrationally to adults all the time and they have big emotions. It's not surprising to me that a teen is more creeped out by living in a murder house, as you called it, than an adult who understands the cost of homes and the fact that death happens everywhere.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Teen horror movies literally use murder houses as plot devices, especially given she was told this by a stranger and given too many details instead of having a trusted adult explaining the house's history to her and why it's not dangerous to live there now. Though if there's any assholes in the story, it's the neighbor. I agree. The neighbor is weird. He sees some 16-year-old he's never seen before in his life, and he's just like, you wanna hear a scary story? It's such a horror movie. You want me to ruin your life? Response from O.P. to that comment,
Starting point is 00:34:10 this response really helped me see a new angle that I hadn't considered. I think that considering the details, it was domestic abuse, a man killed his wife. And the fact that her mother and I are about to get married, okay, the gears are turning. I need to have a serious heart to heart with her tonight. Hopefully dinner from her favorite place will help. Thank you for your perspective. That is true.
Starting point is 00:34:29 This is the beginning. He's flaunting his money. Yeah. Nothing like a little, yeah. Nothing like a little P. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No one's the asshole. to. to..... to give her leeway for being uncomfortable and anxious due to her grandmother's situation.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And 16. And 60, and your neighbor being inappropriately detailed about the murder. I mean, look, I just think this is a fucking creepy-ass neighbor. Yeah. I would be more scared of the neighbor than the murder house. No, and I think especially the nature of the crime, the crime, the crime, the crime, the crime, the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 thin, th th thin, th th of the crime, like, I think it's gonna be super important that he talked to her.

Starting point is 00:35:45 like a kid though, adds the layer of like, if I see a six, for one, honestly, and I don't know what this, who this neighbor is, the neighbor could have been another teenager for- This actually does remind me, because on my block there's a family that moved into a murder house and they have a 16-year-old daughter and I just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just I I just just just just I just I just I just just I just I just just I just had a very similar conversation. Wow. Okay. Wait a second. Wait a minute. How recent's this post? But also like, look, if the neighbor's a grown man, I think it's weird that a 16-year-old girl was walking down the street and he was just like, hey, hey, why are you talking to?
Starting point is 00:36:17 He's like, so you know the lord? You were just trying to kick off off off off. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by Better Help. A lot of the times, my brain and I are not friends. And I know you can relate to that, as pretty much every human on earth can. It gets busy up in here sometimes.

I think we can move on. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:37:35 I think we're good. This is, okay. For letting them. That means they want to. Throw away. Yes, I think this is a weird story too. All right, this is going to be crazy. For the past year or so, I, a 25-year-old woman, have had the nickname, daddy in our friend group. It just started as a joke when we were all together and I jokingly told a friend to stop being glued to your phone all the time. Ugh, millennials. We all laughed and he all laughed and he said the the their their their their laughed and he said their laughed and he said th. th. th. th laughed and he said th. th. th. th. thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, I th th told, I told, I told, I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th.

I th th th th th th th th thi, I that t t t t today today, I today, to today, today, today, today, today, today, I today, I thi, I not your mother, but you may call me daddy. So it was really just a joke that stuck.
Starting point is 00:38:07 When we went bowling, someone entered my name as daddy and stuff like that has happened since then. Now onto the problem. A couple months ago when we were all meeting up at a friend's place, they all screamed, daddy when I arrived. And apparently the host's girlfriend thought that was weird. She told me she was really really really the the the the the the the the thee, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the the the the the thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, thu, weird. She told me she was really freaked out with it. I explained it was just a joke. She said she kind of found it disgusting and told her boyfriend not to call me that anymore. We stopped the conversation there. The only thing that happened that night is when another friend called me
Starting point is 00:38:34 daddy. She made gagging noises but no one said anything else about it. Small things have happened since then. Like I know she talked about me behind my back, how I sexualize all my friends, have weird kinks and stuff. I'm literally asexual, L-O-L, but she doesn't know that. Now, at this point, I'm frustrated and ask my friends not to call me daddy when she's around, hoping she and I can become better friends that way. Her boyfriend is still a great me, but I haven't really been called Daddy in her presence since then. But the big problem happened yesterday. We were all Skyping, not including her, but including her boyfriend, but including her boyfriend, but including her boyfriend, but including her boyfriend, told me the girlfriend walked into the webcam's view for the first time. We didn't know that she was in the room.
Starting point is 00:39:26 She had, she had heard Daddy a few times at that point. She then said, you know, it's really wrong to be called daddy when you're not a father, and not being addressed by a young child. Now I was gatekeeping. Now I was very shocked at the sudden change of atmosphere. So I said, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I think, and I'm think, and I'm think, and I'm th think, and I'm think, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm tho, tho, tho, tho, 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 to be to to to to to change of atmosphere. So I said, and I think I'm the asshole here, well, is it wrong for your boyfriend to call you sweetheart when you're so salty?
Starting point is 00:39:49 And then his line disconnected. She cooked. She cooked. Oh, shit. Damn. Damn. You know, you can't be an asshole when you drop bars. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:02 None of us have been able to reach him or her since then. And I'm afraid we lost a friend because I didn't stop my friends from calling me daddy. It didn't even matter to me that much. I wouldn't have missed the nickname. I'm also going to apologize for the salty comment because that was out of line anyway. And also, I don't know if we missed something, if someone could tell me why daddy is so offensive, it's possible it's a very wrong thing to say and I didn't realize. No, this lady's crazy. The girlfriend. The girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah. No, the girlfriend is being so weird. I think she probably came out of the wrong way when she was like, hey, like, it's like gross when they call you, like, maybe like I'm uncomfortable with it, and if you frame it like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm, like, like, like, like, like, th, th. th. th. th. th. The, th. The, th. 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. 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. frame it like that, then everyone might be a little more sympathetic. But like calling it like objectively gross or
Starting point is 00:40:47 objectively like blah blah blah it's like okay like I don't that's. It just sounds controlling as hell like to come into a friend group and be trying to change a dynamic. And also she's like when someone brought it said it like she made gagging noises. I'm like you in high school like you in high school like what the hell like you you like you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you the the the the th. you th. th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm 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. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm like like like, th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm like like, th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm like, you in high school? Like, what the hell? You guys don't understand. When I was a kid, my dog got hit by a car. And the license plate? Said Daddy. See, we didn't think of that.
Starting point is 00:41:12 We didn't think of that. That's reframing it. Think of that. As far as nicknames, too, it's pretty mild. I feel like a nickname, tod. tha. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's. that's. that's that's thi. thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that. that. the the the the the the the thi. thi. th. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toeeee. toe. toeea. that that that that that that that that thi. thi. thi. Daddy-O. That's cool. I might draw the line at Daddy-O. You know, some people have like problem with moist, right? So I'm trying to think like if it's, if the nickname was, hey, moisty, and she was like, you know, like maybe she just has some weird. But, but that's fine if she's like, I don't want to, I don't want they. They're having a Skype call where they're just them and she comes into it.
Starting point is 00:41:45 I think she's, I just think this is super... What if she's trying to mix things up in the bedroom, she's starting to call her boyfriend daddy and then enter this person whose nickname is daddy and she's like, she's like, I can't. She's ruining it for him. She's ruining it for him. She's ruining it for him. ruining the daddy dynamic. I'm curious, you know, because she said like, I, small things have happened since then, like I know, I know she talked about me behind my back, how I sexualize all my friends,
Starting point is 00:42:10 have weird kinks and stuff. That part, that's weird. I'm literally as sexual, but she doesn't know that. I think she's, yeah, I think this woman's a bad person. I think for the sake of the friendship, it sounds like the original poster is going about this very maturely. I think dad, let's call them daddy. Daddy's being very mature about this and I'm... Daddy is being very mature, kitten. Is my name kitten? I don't know. I like that. Kitten would be where maybe I'd be like, all right, this is a little strange. Whatever. But you guys do your thing. I think daddy should reach out and
Starting point is 00:42:47 be like, look, I don't control the nickname. I know that it makes you uncomfortable. I've asked them to stop talking, saying it in front of you. Daddy did all they could in their power. Daddy don't know likey. And I'm sorry for saying what I said to you, but know that you are not the asshole. This person is crazy. And this happens in friendships. Your friends start dating people who are weird. And I think for the sake of the friendship, it is good to try and mend it,
Starting point is 00:43:18 because you don't want to lose a friend. And you also don't want to be the person that's like, hey, your girlfriend sucks. Don't get in between them. Let him figure that out on his own. Comments here. Not the asshole, Daddy. Yes. Someone said that- Oh, Daddy, my Daddy. Not the asshole.
Starting point is 00:43:33 She was probably jealous and afraid of losing her boyfriend. Based on the little you put in here, she sounds controlling and when, when slash if they break up she will blame don't be sorry I laughed that was a good comeback. O.P. responded that did cross my mind that she was jealous there are other girls in our friend group one is gay and the other is in a relationship so maybe that's why she has a problem with only me but I'm not even the closest with him I mean it's perceived you know it's not about you see a single daddy you might get a little protection. Not the asshole. Accusing you of being overly sexual with friends is rich, coming from someone who takes an innocent nickname and insists that it is sexual and wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Someone's got issues. Unrelated. I found your comeback hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. Someone said, overall, not the asshole comment, and I'm glad you're apologizing for it. I think she is justified in being a little iffy about the nickname, but she is trying to say that it's wrong whenever she should be saying that she's insecure about it. She needs to take the blame for the change she wants to happen. I think yeah, taking ownership for your own feelings is important. Yes, yeah she's trying to come and be like, to be thiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that it's that it's that it's that it's that 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 thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi. thi. thi. thi, like, you all are wrong. It's because it's such a recent change. I feel like in the past few years, it's become like mainstream, but like daddy. Like it now, now it does have so many layers of connotations to it. But like, I don't know, I'm also,
Starting point is 00:44:54 I'm of the opinion, like nicknames could be whatever if it's amongst a group of friends, they're just joking. I, like, th. th. I, th. I, th. th. I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, thi, like, thi, thi, thi, 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, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. thi. thi. stop calling me daddy. For now on, I'm big dick Joe. Yeah. What she's just like, okay, you can call me mommy. All right, next story. Tell us the next story, daddy. All right. Daddy, read to me. Sing me a song, daddy. Hush, kitten. Am I the asshole for telling my colleague that she basically called her newborn daughter Luigi. Uh-huh. What?
Starting point is 00:45:31 Nothing wrong with that. First of all, Luigi's dope as fucked. That's my go-to on Super Smash Brothers and I'll kick your ass. Questionable. Puh. Okay. I'm using a throwaway because my main contains mentions of the company I work for and some personal pictures.
Starting point is 00:45:48 It's try guys. It's Keith. I'm an Italian woman who works for an Italian company that has a close working relationship with a few American companies. More specifically, I am the Italian liaison of a kind of big department in one of these companies. So basically... So basically, funny role. So basically everything that my American colleagues decide comes through me and I relate it to
Starting point is 00:46:11 my Italian colleagues. So many jokes right now. Let me tell you what the happening at the HQ? Can you tell them we want to buy more stock? They want to buy more stock? They want to buy more stock. Thank you for two buying my stock. He works at Nintendo. He's like Charles Martinet.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Oh, we got a letter. Oh, it's sorry. We got to get the olive oil off of it first. Okay. In the years I've worked there, I've made good friends with some of these American colleagues. And in the past summer, one of them, S, S, S, S, S, S, S, S, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. Thank, th.

Thank you, tha. Thank you, tha. Thank you, tha. Thank you, tha. I've worked there, I've made good friends with some of these American colleagues and in the past summer, one of them, S, who's in her early 30s, invited me to her house in the U.S. I had been to the U.S. many times before that, but always for work, never for leisure. So I was really happy. worked for the same company. One of them was M, a woman in her late 20s. S&M, a woman in her late 20s with her newborn baby girl, Gigi? At some point in the evening, M tells me that her husband is Italian too and that they wanted to choose an
Starting point is 00:47:17 Italian name for their baby to honor his ancestry. So they went with Gigi. I knew this name was used for girls in the US US to to th. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. M.

And, t ttttttttttttttttttttttttt th. th. th. th. th. with Gigi. I knew this name was used for girls in the U.S. but I didn't know people thought it was an Italian name. So I tell her that while Gigi exists in Italy as a name, it is not a girl name. And in Italy, there's a law that says you can't name a child with something that is traditionally used for the opposite gender. Wow. Wow. That's fascinating. Italy's crazy. Also that thia. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the is the is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th is th. th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is thi is thi is thi is thi thi thi the the the the thea. thea. thea. thea. thea thea. thea the names do not exist in the language. Is Italy nuts? Yeah. You got shit? She's like, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:47:51 I tell her that Gigi in Italy is a nickname for Luigi. If she comes to Italy and introduces her child as Gigi, Italians will think she has a little boy named Luigi. At this point, poor M starts wailing. Luigi Hadid. this point, poor M starts wailing. Luigi Hadid. Luigi Hadid. This is huge. At this point, poor M starts wailing. Sobbing that I'm just being mean.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I'm making fun of her, that I'm jealous of her, and saying that her daughter is not named after a stupid video game character. Not stupid. He has a man. He is a man. I tell her that Luigi and Mario too for that matter are completely normal Italian names that have existed for centuries or even thousands of years before the creation of video games. This does not calm her down at all.
Starting point is 00:48:35 M is having a nervous breakdown and someone calls her husband who was at work to come pick her up. It's like, oh what that happened? What's it going on? Mamma Mia! Oh, woo! Wow, wow, wow, wow. I'm sorry, that Mario franchise set back Italians 300 years. She's like, oh, you know your name? That name means Luigi in Italy, and she pulls out a green shell.
Starting point is 00:48:58 She's like, what did you just say? So she runs out of the room, she throws a banana behind her. They leave shortly after and I realize I've inadvertently ruined the party for everyone. Am I the asshole for telling this girl her baby's name is not what she thinks it is? Edit. Yes, M's husband is not really Italian, just has some ancestry. As far as I know, he doesn't speak any Italian, nor has been to the country. But Em told me they wanted they they they they they they they they they th th th th th th th th. M th. M thu. M thu. M thu. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. I thu. I tho. I tho. I tho. I thu. I thu.

But M told me they wanted to visit with the baby in the near future. That's why I told her that if she introduces her newborn to Italians as Gigi, they will initially think it's a boy. The husband doesn't even have an Italian-sounding name. He's named something waswaspi, like John Smith, Jr. That's so funny. That's So funny. Here's so funny. Here's what's their thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Starting point is 00:50:05 is named John Smith Jr. And also, Gigi, like, I don't know, like, you can name your kid whatever you want. Like, and if they don't like it in Italy, like, I'm sorry. She's also not saying your baby's not going to be welcome in Italy. Yeah, she's just Italian sounds like there's some language barrier. Just Italian just Italian. It's just a lack of tact perhaps of I guess in the future if you notice someone starting to get upset maybe just back off.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Look she is Italian so they're a cultural she probably what she's saying is probably she's like yeah this is fine and she's getting a this is also not even an American response that's just kind of a very intense response it's not like you threw a blue shell thank God she found out thank thin to thin to their to thin an thin thou thin thin to thin their to the the the the the.

Yeah. Good. It sounds like an old- It sucks you have to fucking go to court.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Yeah. Okay, some comments here. Not the asshole. You gave her information about names in Italy. Her reaction was very unexpected. Sometimes normal names in one country means something used for the opposite sex. It is not a big deal, and it is also not something that you have to hide in order to prevent her feelings. Because getting hurt by it is an abnormal response, my real name, not uncommon in my own
Starting point is 00:51:33 country, means something very dark in another language. No big deal. Share. What is it? My name, Bukake means something totally different. I got to go with you're the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, not. thoom. th. th. they are thoom. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they are, they are, they are, th. they are, they are, th. they are, th. th. th.

The baby is named. Was she named in ignorance?
Starting point is 00:51:48 Oh, absolutely. But they're not going to rename her. What you told her amounted to you fucked up naming your child, which wouldn't make anyone happy. And really neither you nor she had anything to gain from you educating her. The proper response is to say, how cute! And then gossip about it with your friends back home. Someone said, you aren't the asshole, but you might need to learn to read the room. And someone said, Italian here, born and raised in Italy. Gigi is a perfectly acceptable nickname for Luigi, which is a female version of Luigi. You are wrong and rude. Louisina? Loui Gina? Louie Gina. thr. A Luigina. It was right there. Lugina. L Luigi.

Starting point is 00:52:26 It was right there! So edit, so the general consensus seems to be that I should have read the room and I agree. I don't generally hang out with mums and children, so I was a little out of my depth and I just thought that would have been funny trivia. Also, M had been tell. the the the the to be their. to be their. M. M. M. M. M. M. their their to be their th. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. th. M. M. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. E. E. E. E. E. E.

You're like, well in Italy. I should have connected the dots. Another edit, please stop bashing on M. Yes, her reaction was over the top, but she's a nice person and a young mom protective of her child. I didn't mean for this to become an attack on her character. Next story might be a thoe thoe tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, the, to be a to be a to be a to be a the the the to be a to be a to be a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a 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.

All right.
Starting point is 00:53:06 This comes from relationship advice. So this isn't about who's the asshole. This is just a general story. How it breaks in the format. I, a 34-year-old woman was stabbed, and now my soon-to-be-exhush husband, the divorce. What's going on man? I was stabbed and he just called out that this was going to be a stabbing story I also want to point that out. I talk about stabbing a lot. Okay I a 34 year old woman was stabbed and now my soon to be
Starting point is 00:53:39 ex-husband 34 year old man wants to cancel the divorce. I think I need a little more info. Okay here we go. It's like a pity I'm like oh you've been stabbed I to. 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th.

It's like a pity. I'm like, oh, you've been stabbed. I need to, I can't. Okay, I get it. All right. My soon-to-be ex-husband and I had been married for 12 years.
Starting point is 00:53:53 We got married at 22. About four months ago, he asked me for a to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, toe, and, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, too, too, too, too, too, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the the the the the the the the the the it badly, but I have always said that if there is a third person in a relationship, someone is left out. I also didn't want to waste my energy begging for something I know won't come back. Good for you. His mother got sick and I had to take care of her at, thi told the took care of her. This delayed the divorce a bit. I guess they were using me as a nurse or babysitter, L-O-L. A month and a half ago, I was assaulted when I was going to work.
Starting point is 00:54:29 I don't have a car. My husband always drove me, but he stopped after filing for divorce. I didn't have much with me. Just my cell phone in thea. So I was stabbed for not I think that's what you, that was kind of Shane talked about. It's like, wow, it says here, it's what it says here. My emergency contact was my husband and the whole thing. He now doesn't want a divorce since he says that this altercation opened his eyes
Starting point is 00:54:58 and that he really can't imagine a life without me. It was going to be an uncontested divorce since this type of divorce is totally free in my country and I'm stingy enough to not want to pay a lawyer's fees. But now he doesn't want a divorce. I'm living with my mother and my soon-to-be ex-husband comes every day to screw up my existence. What do I do to get rid of it? I already made it clear to him that I don't want anything th anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything to to that I to that I to to to th th that I 't want anything from him. Besides, I already hired a lawyer to advise me, but he says it's taking too long because he doesn't want a divorce.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Interesting. So she got robbed and stabbed, and now he's suddenly like, oh my god, you almost died. I actually want to be with you. Stab him back. The husband or the robber? Both. Anyone.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Okay, there's some comments here, there, said, Latom moment, that is Latin American moment. Things that happen in Spanish-speaking countries, or third-world countries, LL. When they assault you, they're supposed to take what you are carrying and simply leave, whether it is a lot or a little. In Latin America, sometimes people who don't have much to steal are stabbed or attacked for the simple fact of not having much. I don't know if that happens in other first-world countries, L-O-L. It implies that you are being stabbed for taking up the attacker's time with your poverty. Crying laughing emogees. Also like, that's so rude. You robbed me.
Starting point is 00:56:29 And I wasn't good enough for you? And now you're gonna put a hole in my body? Yeah, it's extra fucked up. Someone else said, He doesn't have a life insurance policy out in you, does he? Who stabbed you? I've seen lots of cases cases the cases the cases the cases the cases the cases tha tha tha thi tha thi thi thi th being thoroughly investigated? I've seen lots of cases where the divorcing partner who is having an affair may go after the soon-to-be X as a way to claim insurance money, but I could be obviously completely wrong
Starting point is 00:56:51 about his intentions. Please just use your best judgment and don't go back to him if there was an affair. Holy sure. If he is a beneficiary to any money from you change it immediately before you go forward with the divorce. Change it to a relative you trust. Just sounds very sketchy to me. She responds, no, he doesn't have a policy or anything like that. I really don't think it was him. Believe it or not, this sometimes happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:14 I don't know that I have any advice. I just wish her the best and get the fuck out of that. Just tell them them them them them them them the the the the the the the the th th, I 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 don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I that, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I th. I, I, I, and get, and get, and get, and get, and get, and get, and get, and get, and get, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I that, I that, I that, I that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tell him like, hey, you're never getting it. She should have an affair. No, she shouldn't because then potentially he has like a claim. Okay, ignore my advice. I'm sorry. Right? I'm sorry. I think you just need to look him in the eyes and say, I will never fuck you.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Ooh, yeah. Yeah. And he's gonna be like, I'm out. Someone says, your ex knows you don't drive. You got stabbed because he no longer cares about you enough to make sure you're safe. Head for the hills. Stop looking after his mom and making his life easier when he doesn't do the same for you. You shouldn't have to almost die for him to realize he cares. Run, run, run. OP responded, I haven't been able to take care of his mother My mother always says, do good things and you will get good things. Okay, maybe I'm an asshole for saying this. She did good things and she got stabbed.
Starting point is 00:58:08 I just, I'm just, like, I don't, I don't know if karma's working in this sphere right now. Maybe, okay. O P. It could have been worse maybe. She's got stabbed twice. It's true. Thank God she was taking care of his mom. Just saying, you never know. I also just, regardless of that, I'm just like, dude, stop taking care. Like, part of it is, part of the divorce is also removing his whole life out of your life. I know these are, I know things are very different per country and per culture, but 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 the, the, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thathea, that, that, that, thathea, regardless, regardless, regardless, thathea, thathea, regardless, thathea, regardless, thuosh. I's thua, regardless, thua, thua, thu. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, to toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe thau. toe that, regardless of, regardless of, regardless of, that, th's my personal take on that. Okay, O.P. Make his life hell. Start eating real stinky foods. Your breath is gonna reek. Get yourself some nut-flavored shampoo.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Yeah. All the oil smells good. It's gonna make him itchy. And then he's gonna be like, you can't stand being around. You be like, you're trying to control me and I love my body wash. Good, smart. And then flaunt your money. And then pay for his meals.
Starting point is 00:59:11 He's gonna eat that. Last comment here, tell him that his affair opened your eyes to the fact that he's a dishonorable man who you don't trust, don't love and don't respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect respect and don't respect respect and don't respect respect and that you can't imagine a life with him. If he keeps showing up, call the police and have him trespass from the property, and, if possible, get a restraining order because he's harassing you. Also tell everyone you both know,
Starting point is 00:59:31 your family, his family, all friends, that he cheated and left for his affair partner, and now it's harassing you and adding to your burdens. Yeah, I mean, I mean, look, I tha tha tha thuan thuan thuan thuan thuan thuan thuan thuan thuan 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. the 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thee. thean. toean. toean. toean. toean. toean. teananananananananananananananananananananananananan. the. toe. toe, to me, I'm like, that's sound advice. Something that I notice on Reddit, and just in general, I mean, this makes sense as humans, someone will be writing a story and they're like, hey, I live in X country. And you'll see a comment that I'm like, that's American advice for if you're in America. I don't know, but maybe it does apply. I'm just saying, I I'm like, yeah, you're bringing up a lot of things that may not apply. It's why in legal advice subreddits, you have to say what state you're in because things
Starting point is 01:00:13 are different state by state. So the advice you're giving may just not be applicable. But I do think the majority of that is pretty universal, just being like, I don't want to be with you ever again. Every time he walks into a room, just flick his dick. Yeah. It's not enough to get the cops called on you, but it really is demeaning. And over time, he's gonna sound really embarrassed if he tries to report it.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah, he's gonna hate it. Right. You can't even complain, what is she's. 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. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the the the the the the the th. the th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. t ti. toeea. toea. toea. toea. toea like, she flicks it. It's pretty, pretty good. Stand up, right? No, it's time for our last story. And it's a short one, but it's a good one. Daddy, no, I want more story. Daddy. Oh, the comments.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Daddy, chill. All right, it's gonna, the comments on this video are gonna be a mix of daddy. And, daddy, daddy, the, the, the, the, th, th. th. th. th. th. the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, that, thi, thi, thi, th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to to, to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th.

All right. This comes from True Off My Chest. So these are just a confession. Just a confession. Husband said, hold up, men are talking during a dinner. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Let's hear him out. Let's hear him out. My friend Spencer was loudly talking about the N64. Okay, we went out Wednesday night for dinner with all of our friends. It was our friend's engagement dinner. It was a group of us. I interrupted my husband while he was telling a story and he said, hold up, honey, men are talking. Everyone else started laughing. Both men and women. I awkwardly laughed since everyone else was laughing.
Starting point is 01:01:48 I was embarrassed the whole night and barely said anything. Husband asked me what was wrong when we got home because I was being short with him. I told him what was wrong and he claims he was joking, but he apologized for hurting my feelings. I'm trying to get over it since it happened the other day, but I'm still holding a grudge. Okay. There's, there's, I, look, maybe we don't need context. I'm just saying it's so short that
Starting point is 01:02:12 there isn't the context of the whole conversation. Maybe it was hilarious. Have we considered that? Maybe it was really funny. The only way is if it's said sarcastically of like it's a shitty thing, it's not a right, there's no way I can't. I look, look I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna stand up with this guy. No, look all, you you toss me the shovel. I mean sometimes you make a joke and it doesn't land and I think the husband made a joke and it didn't land with the wife, and so it's on him to apologize. He did apologize. He apologized for hurting my feelings. Also if he made that joke but then continued to tell his story and didn't, then it's
Starting point is 01:02:53 not a joke. No, that's very true. Because like, I don't want, like, I might not have made this exact joke, but I made similar, you know, you act problematic as a bit and it's unfortunate. Sometimes, sometimes it happens. You know, but then you immediately like remedy those, your actions. What I was, yeah, what I think I'm trying to say is you say that and you're making fun of dudes who say that. That's the, like, you're playing the villain.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Like it's a joke where you're saying a villainous thing to make it. And then immediately be like, oh, honey, what were you saying? Yeah. Honey, get in here. Honey, like talk over me. Like, oh, yeah. Exactly. It's got to be said tongue and cheek. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:34 And if it's not delivered as such, it comes across horribly. But when we take the context of our videos, like, we are here to be funny, so that is the purpose of what we're doing. When you're at a dinner, an engagement dinner, is there- It was their friends, it was our friends' engagement dinner. So I don't know, it's, it depends on the context. It also, at the very least, you know, he singled her out, and like it's a joke, but you're singling out one person at a dinner. I think to the original poster, you've let your husband, husband? To the original poster, you've let your husband know
Starting point is 01:04:11 that you do not like this kind of joke. Let's hope that he knows now to not make that kind of joke in front of you, and I think do your best to like all that. Especially at their expense. Right, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah. Don't hold on to it, though, it's not going to do you any good. I mean, if you can't try and move on. If it's a pattern, if this is pattern behavior, yeah, it's a major problem.
Starting point is 01:04:33 It's a one-off joke and it's like, okay, I know he was joking. But. He made, throw it back at him and ask, where are the men then? Yeah, that's not as much of a... Yeah, then that, then it's tense. Then it's like, oh, shit. The girls are fighting. Whooo?
Starting point is 01:04:55 A certified reditor comment. Here, I've never seen one of these before. By everyone's reactions, his response was meant clearly in jest and actually was a more graceful way of addressing being interrupted by using humor. The thing is, you were interrupting him in the middle of a story, which is rude as hell. Oh, that's why it's a certified. Certified Reditor moment. Okay. The Redditors said, actually, the men were talking. And he was right. But have you considered that men should talk first? I don't... Sorry, this is a woman trying to give her opinion. Hold on, my fedora was covering my eyes.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Let me read that again. My fedora was in my face. Yeah. Someone else said, I can't help but to picture him standing there with a monocle and pointy mustache while saying that, Okay, no, then it would be hilarious. And then O. P. said, this made me laugh, Elo. Yeah. Someone said, I think you need to have him promise to not make jokes like that in the future because of how badly that hurt and embarrassed you. That's what I would do with my husband. O.P. said, yeah, I will have him promise not like me personally I might be uncomfortable in like a big group like maybe she doesn't even know them that well and the husband makes this like you know fucking
Starting point is 01:06:11 throws a Hail Mary with this crazy joke and you know it's just like okay like yeah we're not like you know it's I'm already like in I'm already like othered in this situation right Right.
