Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is Sam. This is a John your og
okay storytime podcast host, and we got some great stories
coming up. Before that, we have a quick two minute
break from the sponsors that keep the show a lot.
My boyfriend didn't want his friend moving in, but he
lied to his friend and blame me. Liar, liar, blamer,
liar and blamer. Let's see what this boyfriend really does.
So I twenty four female, live with my boyfriend. I
(00:23):
twenty four female, live with my boyfriend twenty five male
in a two bedroom apartment in a major city. However,
we've been fighting for almost a week because of a
decision I made spitefully, and therefore I may be the
a hole okay, small apartment, so it's impossible to avoid
him for much longer. I mean it's a two bedrooms.
I don't know how much you can avoid each other.
(00:45):
I really need a third party opinion on the matter. Well,
welcome to the party where we give you a third
our thoughts. By the way, this comes from Monoque, but
Mononochus no kis mo no phokis all right? By the way,
this has come from Monodochus Moon. And if you want
(01:05):
to spit your own stories go to the r slash
okay storytime subreddit. So for some background, we've been officially
dating since we moved in together two years ago when
I graduated from UNI, but we were hooking up for
about a year before then a classic love story. During
that year, we weren't together, so to speak. My boyfriend
(01:26):
let's call him Sam, and his best friend let's call
him Max. We're living together in this house. Max, twenty
seven male, has been my boyfriend's friend for years, and
it's basically like an older brother to him. We've never
really gotten along, but please believe me, I have tried.
It's just that Max never seems to be interested in
(01:48):
getting to know me, or at worse, gets genuinely annoyed
by me interacting with him. Sam thinks it's probably the
age difference me being twenty four in him being twenty
seven that make him Riley. Did you change the story?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I did not. I did not.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
These are the real because my.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Name is Sam, and I'm twenty seven, and I have
a friend named Max. Now I turned twenty eight in February.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's right, that's right, you just turned twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yep, that makes him not very interested in getting to
know me. But I think that if he can get
on with Sam despite the two year age gap, then
what's the problem with getting on with his girlfriend age
gap beside?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, not a crazy age gap? What what? What? What?
What is a crazy age gap at twenty seven? Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Forty three?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, dude, it's gotta be.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Seventy seventy dude, seventy seventy to above. That's too crazy. Anyway,
it's besides the point, but I think it's pretty relevant
for the actual argument. Also, Bethany says conspiracy theory, Max
is into Samo.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Into one. That's a good one. That's a good one.
We love that it right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Basically, Max recently broke up with his girlfriend, and since
he was living with her, she rightfully punted him out. Now,
before you ask, I have no idea why he thought
he would still have somewhere to live after telling his
landlady with benefits that he wasn't spicy, sleepily attracted.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
To her anymore. Ouch, But I digress.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Now Max is homeless and is asked to stay with Sam.
And yes, if you're wondering, I also live here and
pay for rented utilities an equal amount to Sam. But
I suppose Max only wanted to ask the person whose
name is on the lease. All this aside, Sam doesn't
want Max to come live with us again, which works
for me because I wouldn't particularly like to live with
(03:39):
a guy who doesn't even deign to speak to me.
I think Sam doesn't want him living here because he
used to be a bit of a slob when they
live together. His words, not mine, but I would imagine
he also doesn't want another person in this small apartments. However,
Sam clearly lacks a spine to say any of this
to his friend. So who does he use as an excuse?
(04:04):
Oh no, yeah me? Oh no, whack given us Sam's
with spines, bad names. Yeah that's right, grow a spine,
grow a spine. Get that back back. Apparently he told
Max how he would love for him to come and
live with him again. Oh I love it so much
like the good old days, just us two boys boying around,
(04:30):
but his stupid girlfriend won't let it happen. Oh p
p you.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I could live with this if Max could act like
an adult about it. But he's now starting to blow
my phone up with texts calling me a witch, calling
me jealous, literally, just random insults that don't even address
the main issue. Really great, really great, It's gonna it's
definitely gonna make them want to live with you before
you ask. They're so specifically cruel. Well, I am afraid
(05:01):
if I copy and paste them here, it will be
instantly obvious who I am who I've shown them to Sam.
But he told me to ignore them and do them
a favor. How about you do everyone in your life,
including you, a favor by growing a spine.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I want you to reverse Mortal Kombat yourself. You know
how they like like take the head and go quick,
and there's a little spine floating in the video game.
I want you to get get that spine shoved into
your body. Put it in shoved into your body.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I meant to say that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Put that put that thing in there. Ye, put that
dangling thing in the back of your throat, right in
your throat first. Yeah, yeah, exactly. This spines only. He
argued that since Max and I already don't like each other,
there's no harm in letting me take the fall for
(05:57):
this decision. I mean, there's harm in thinking you're a butt.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Actually there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
This is where I might be the a hole because
on day ten, day ten of receiving abusive messages from Max.
Instead of ignoring him or blocking him, I just told
him the truth.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A great move.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It was late at night, and I was tired, and
I was slightly tipsy from a bottle of wine. Sam
was out with Max, still enjoying his friendship despite the
horrible things his friend was saying to his girlfriend. Uh gross.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So yes, before you ask, I was feeling vengeful, and
I think a lot of me did it out of spite.
You know, sometimes vengeance needs to strike. Sometimes the back
signal is out in the air, and you gotta go,
and you gotta do some wham and pals, you know,
send out some send out some feisty text messages late
(06:51):
at night.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Use that spine, Yeah, use that spine that he doesn't have.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, take his noodlely spine and whip Max with it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, Spike.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
To be honest, the worst part is Max didn't believe me,
and if anything, it only made him angrier at me.
So in a way, the only thing I succeeded at
doing was breaking my promise to Sam not to tell
him simply because I let Max get in my head.
Maybe you should break your promise of being with this guy. Yeah,
(07:22):
Bethany asked, why does Sam even want to keep a
relationship with Max, a man who is abusing his girlfriend anyway,
dump Sam let him and Max live together in misery facts, Bethany,
that is some snaps well deserved.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Dear Bethany, what.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Was the reason why Sam didn't want Max to move in?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Because he's a slab, he's a slob and he a
small apartment another person like I feel like general like
roommate stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's like. And also he seems like he sucks. Yeah, yeah,
he does suck.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
After I sent the message, I got a call from
Sam but ignored it and it went promptly to bed.
When I woke up, I assume a couple of hours later,
I had an angry boyfriend in my bedroom telling me
that I was an a hole not the word he used, actually,
and that Max didn't even believe me. I then asked
why it mattered so much since Max didn't believe me,
(08:15):
But I think he had one too many drinks because
he couldn't answer me and went to sleep on the couch.
It's been a week now and we've been giving each
other the silent treatment. Wow, it's a long, long time. Yeah, yikes,
Sam Chan says, strip him off his name. He doesn't
deserve to be a Sam who he now? He's nothing?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, man, I don't know nobody should we.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I mean, if you give me a minute, I can
change his name.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
No, no, no, it's okay. Max has come over a couple
of nights, sitting on the couch and watching football with
Sam and giving me a similar stink eye. But I've
just left them to it and have moved into the
guest room, partially to avoid Sam, partially to stop him
from letting Max sleep here. So yeah, I'm typing this
on day five of the Cold War.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I don't know if that that method is actually going
to work, because he might not be sleeping in the
guest room. He might be sleeping with Sam. I think
it might be a budding, a romance brewin.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They took that romance, and they're they're saying the bee
is now optional.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The bee is optional for the bedroom is absolutely necessary.
It's mandatory, mandatory. Yeah, I'm typing this on day five
of the Cold War from the guest bedroom while my
boyfriend is sleeping in our bed, still angry at me
for jeopardizing his friendship. Am I the a hole? There
(09:38):
is an update, John, Oh, there is an update.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
What should Op do? Okay? What should do?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Tell me? Tell me, give me your sage wisdom.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I got you first of all, Op, not the a
hole at all. The boyfriend. If if the boyfriend really
didn't want him as a roommate.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Then he should have told him. And and the fact
that he first off that was already bad.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
But the fact that them then Max comes around is
insulting you. He doesn't defend you all the stuff, like,
he doesn't care about you. He cares more about Max
than he does yet that is true.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Is literally prioritizing precious relationship with Max.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, so not the ahole at all.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
And I mean, like I think sitting him down first,
or sitting him down and be like, hey, do you
do you see do you see what's happening here? Do
you see how you literally prioritize him over me? And
see what he says just to lowkey, just to see
him like and.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I mean, it's obvious they need a breakup. They need
to break a breakup, break up. I don't think he'll
do it. Why are you still writing this story and
not writing I'm breaking.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Up with you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, it could be maybe that's what we get in
the update.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
It could be soon. But I'm on team breakup for.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Sure, team breakup. Let's see what happens in the updates.
That's not that, he says, time to get a prevorse. Yes, well,
for everyone who thought they might be sleeping together, you
were right. I called them effing and sucking in our
living room.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What not sucking?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
They were effing and sucking what at the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I was not expecting that.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Who someone said that? Someone said that early on? Who
said that?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Did you guys? I highlighted that, don't you remember?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, he said that.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Oh my god, we saw it coming, and I guess
he saw them coming as well.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It was coming.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, they were coming coming in the flesh.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That makes it even more complicated because why would Sam
not w max there anyways?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think he does. He's trying to. I think he's
trying to have his cake and suck it too.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, Yeah, he's just he's just like living this ruse
and and loo ky. I feel like Sam is just
like weirdly in the middle. Why not just go be
with with him?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I guess. I guess he's just messy. He wants, he
wants bold, he just wants, just want. He's just crazy
and he sucks.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Just kidding, Ah, they had what.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I wanted that, come on, I wanted that all that
would probably be funnier than this update is going to
be if you didn't see my previous post, basically the
TLDR for people asking. So my boyfriend threw me under
the bus when his friend needed a place to stay,
saying it was just me that was against it, and
then didn't defend me after against the barrage of abusive
texts his best friend sent me there after. So I'm
(12:20):
still here in the guest room using Reddit as my
only means of escape from my depressing reality. But for
everyone who warned me that Sam would probably cave and
let Max move, and eventually, yeah, he did, and it
only took one day since my last post, they are
not sharing a bed yet I still think. I still
(12:41):
think they're gonna that's always gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
We got a lot more to this story, oh yeah,
just starting.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Max has parked himself on our couch and shoved his
stuff inside what used to be our bedroom. I was
working from home this afternoon when the two of them
started moving in, so I was able to grab everything
and lock it in the guest room with me barricade. Actually,
Sam texting me asked me to talk to them over dinner,
probably about future living arrangements, since it's clear what is
(13:09):
inevitable here. But I just told them that I was
coming down with the flu and should be avoided. Even
though it's annoying to have to talk so nicely to him,
I still have to live here for two weeks more
before I can escape, so I'm trying to act as
normally as possible. I'm really lucky that one of my
friends is coming back from her work abroad in about
two weeks, since her parents have arranged an apartment for
her to move into, and she's invited me to stay
(13:31):
with her there until I can find somewhere else. That's great.
That's great. So it seems like op Is is building
up the courage and the means to break up, because,
like I guess, if she broke up now, this guy's
pretty childish, it might just make like the living situation
terrible for the next.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Two weeks, and maybe she just needs to be outside
of like living there. Twenty four to seven just for
a beat, Yeah, to kind of come to.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You know, kind of get our things, get our things
in order. Yes, it's been so difficult for me while
she's been gone, since she was basically my only friend
in the city who wasn't also friends with Sam and Max.
Speaking to her, even if it's in the middle of
the night where she is, where she is and she
has no reception, has opened my eyes to how quickly
(14:18):
I need to get out of both this relationship and
this building. Well, girls out there, talk to your friends.
They're seriously the biggest blessing you'll ever get. So Yeah,
if anyone has any advice to make these two weeks
pass a little quicker, it would be appreciated. I think
I'm still a devil woman in both their eyes, and
our mutual friends are somehow taking Sam's side. I don't
(14:41):
know if you spun them a different story, or it's
just the fact that they were all his friends first,
or even the fact that he's the baby of the group. Yeah,
how did I not see that this was a red flag?
But at this point it doesn't even matter anymore. Thank
you to everyone who commented, showed interest and concern, etc.
I didn't know how much I needed to speak to
(15:02):
someone who wasn't friends with Sam. Hopefully my next update
will be when I'm moved out, But for now, I'm
safe and grateful.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And there is an update. Okay, wow, there is an
update pro folded.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm still thinking they're doing something.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, I mean we we we still got time in the.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Story, and I wonder what I feel like Sam maybe
poisoned the well with the friends too, because.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh like he isolated Ope from the rest of the
friend group because they share friends.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yes, and basically now that this fallout is happening, he's like, yeah,
he's just like spreading whatever rumors.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Lies, Yeah, spreading lies. Yeah. We got another update.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We got like a bunch of updates here, So I think, uh,
I think we're gonna get some juice.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Give it to me to get some juice.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So, if you didn't see my last two posts, held
r boyfriend saying I'm twenty five mail use me twenty
four female as an excuse to his best friend, Max,
twenty seven male, who was punted out of his apartment.
Maxon blew up my phone with abuse. Sam didn't defend me.
I told Max the truth. Sam got mad at me.
Move max in anyway, and I locked myself in the
guest bedroom. And I'm still here waiting for my friend
(16:17):
to get back from abroad so that I can move
into her apartment. Her parents are arranging from her, so
let's get into it. Hello, beautiful people of reddits. The
sun has just come out metaphorically speaking. I still live
in the UK, and I've been inspired to write this
mini update to tell everyone all the petty things I've
been doing while I wait for my best friend to
(16:38):
come back from abroad so that we can move in together.
For everyone wondering about it, I have amazing news. Her
parents have doubled down on helping me and are trying
to speed up the apartment stuff so that there's a
chance to start moving my stuff in even earlier. Yep,
as for the update, I thought i'd keep coming back
to this post and adding to it every time I
did something petty.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I said in my last post that I was going
to live quietly so that Sam wouldn't pump me out,
but some really amazing people messaged me to advise that
I blackmail him into letting me stay until the end
of the month by threatening to inform the landlord of
Max's illegal tendency.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
That is how fun is that? Without further ado, here
is the list with the dates attached. Hopefully I'll keep
coming back to it and editing it and will try
to credit the Reddit users who advise me. Twenty third
to twenty fourth September twenty twenty four had a lock
installed on the guest bedroom. Thank you ab in parking ad.
(17:43):
But all the stuff I bought in the guest bedroom,
such as the toaster, coffee machine and all my plants.
Thanks better turnover. Call my mail co worker over to
install a lock. He's a man lover, but Sam doesn't
need to know that, and slightly dressed up while he
was over. Thanks Mommy Kraken for that inspiration bot. Two
packets of shrimp if you know, you know, like no.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Way after DZA is he allergic to it? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, thank you Pride to Cape Town. What does that mean?
What tell me about the two packets of shrimp is
tell us cleared a specific shell for me in the
fridge and bathroom cabinet, started labeling all my stuff really
passive aggressively. Have not bought glitter yet because I'm so
accident prone I can't ensure that it won't get all
(18:31):
over me first, but trust when I say that there
are plans in motion on this front. I know about
the I know about the the glitter glitter bombing people.
So sending like a glitter bomb in the mail and
them opening it. Yeah, oh oh oh Sly the toes says,
you put shrimp inside curtain rods so they rot and snank.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh what pretty smart dang but a little evil. Yeah,
it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Jem says, sow them into the God, y'all are crazy.
I can't sure that it won't get all over me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
First.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Thank you some other Reddit users. Sorry if there's anyone
I forgot to thank. I'm totally swamped with comments and
I'm trying my best to apply to all of them.
I'll update more tomorrow if there's any suggestions, but feel
free to comment. More suggestions on Petty Revenge I can
take as I began moving out and we got an edit. Guys,
I made a stirfi with the shrimp. Oh my god,
I'm not going to use them. Please stop commenting telling
(19:28):
me not to use them. I know, I'm sorry. I
thought it was common sense to see that it wasn't
going to create an illegal biohazard in property owned by
innocent landlord. And we have an update. So funny Jeff said,
shrimp under the mattress. Wow, just put shrimp everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Devious because they.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Don't glean.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
It's true, they're dirty. Hey, you can eat.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Some of the shrimp to make it look like they
ate it and just left it around.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Playing evidence. Yes, all right, but.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
We got another update. Oh and we're not even halfway
down with this story. Oh sorry to everyone who was
waiting for this post yesterday, but the revelations that occurred
after dropping the screenshots on Sam Max and our mutual
friends were so crazy that I had to talk to
everyone at the party to confirm the stories. Even now,
(20:20):
there's so much to say and so much unconfirmed that
I'm not confident this post won't have to be updated
with several editions or revisions here and there. I'm also
very unsure how to present this information without it sounding insane.
But I've realized there is no way to present insane
information without it sounding well like what it is.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Oh. To put shortly, Sam lied.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
About what about?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
What? What about? What? Let's see it?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
To put it longly, Sam has lied to everyone in
his life for several years, the point that I am
doubting every interaction I've ever had with any of my
friends or acquaintances. Oh my god, I can't even begin
to imagine the scale of defamation that he has brought
(21:13):
upon my life. Insane right, But before I get into particulars,
we should talk about what specifically went down at the party.
I wasn't there, obviously, as it was a party to
celebrate me moving out, So everything I am telling you
now is secondhand information, primarily from Ted, my informant, but
also from a couple of other mutual friends who have
since come around to my side. Around midnight is when
(21:33):
I sent the screenshots I had collected. Unfortunately, I couldn't
find any evidence of Sam admitting over texts that he
had lied to Max. But I did find several screenshots
where he brushed off my pleas for him to stop
Max from abusing me, and obviously I had many, many
screenshots of Max's abuse. I knew that there were several
people in the group who I had talked to about
Max's behavior before, who were supportive of me, and so
(21:55):
I thought that I could at least save my friendships
with them. I sent the screenshots to the group chat
we had, then left and deleted it, turning my phone
off and settling down for a movie marathon the Alien Movies,
if anyone was interested, although I fell asleep midway through
Alien three. Ted said that when the collection of photos dropped,
(22:16):
literally everyone at the party stopped. Oh, like the collection
of photos dropped to everyone at the party.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That wow, wow, kind.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Of brilliant, he said. They were hanging out in the
living room when one of our friends bolted upright and
asked Max if he really texted those things to me
or if the text were fake hmmm. At the moment,
Max Wasted apparently smirked and said, yeah, thank god, that
cheating slag is back on the streets, which is when
(22:47):
the rest of our friends looked at Sam. The man
at the hour was pale and avoiding eye contact. Ted
then asked if it was true that I had cheated,
and Sam said nothing. Well, Max ranted and raved about
how crap Ted was for questioning Sam. Ted then asked again,
and another friend asked if Sam had any proof. Sam
tried nod, but then made no attempt to show anyone
(23:10):
any kind of proof. Max then seemed to sober up
slightly and asked Sam why he wasn't asking Kelly, one
of our mutual friends, to show everyone the evidence, since
you guys are finally broken up now, so it doesn't
even matter if everyone finds out. Everyone then looked at Kelly,
who just looked confused, saying that she had never heard
(23:31):
about me cheating, nor did she have any evidence of it.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
The web of lies, dude? What is grumbling?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What did Sam say to that?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Nothing? Not a word.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Maybe it was because he was wasted, or maybe he
realized he had been found out, but he just stayed
completely silent. The spineless man is consistently spineless, staring down
at his own lap, which is all he can do
because he has no spine and hold him up if
you tried it, can't do it, exactly like that John
(24:04):
in the last story he read. Eventually, one of her
other friends, Harry, asked Sam if it was true that
I was stealing money, which prompted everyone to now turn
to him. Sam stayed silent, and Harry then asked again
and asked what Sam had told him last night was
(24:24):
even true? My ex Boyfriend's lack of response then seemed
to prompt other people to begin questioning him. I won't
and can't bore you with the nitty gritty of what
happened next, since I wasn't there and everyone was wasted,
but Ted tells me it all started to unravel after
Harry's comments. Multiple other friends had been told that it
was Max who was stealing money, and I think there
(24:45):
was even a third version for some others, though I
can't confirm. I don't know how precisely they started to
figure out that most everything of what Sam told them
in confidence was bs, but I hear it was pretty shocking.
Ted tells me that the party ended soon after, with
him and several others leaving, but other friends waiting for
(25:07):
cabs told me that Max and Sam almost got into
a physical altercation, and that their argument ended with Max
leaving to sleep on Harry's couch. And if any of
that sounds confusing, please remember I heard all this secondhand
from hungover individuals who were wasted during it, and have
only shared things that multiple people confirmed happened. I was
obviously told more unconfirmed details about how Sam lied about
(25:31):
almost every part of our relationship in different ways to
almost all of our friends. I know that each of
them had their own private grievance with me that Sam
had told them and then made them promise not to
bring up to me.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I can't believe he got away with it from so
long too, Like this was a network of lies that
he is finally crumbling down, Like, imagine how long it
took to build this network.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Like with everyone he had so basically to make sure
understanding very quickly, Sam ran around basically telling all of
these lies like one to one people like Hey, I'm
telling you in confidence, don't tell anyone else. So no
one was kind of like writing it. I guess to
figure figure it out both about OP everyone else, And
(26:17):
so it was OP Max and like all the other
He basically was just like lying and make everyone look
bad to each other.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
In the whole group.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah wow, And that's why most mascifically the girlfriend. But
that's why Max was like, oh I hate this girl
because he was like, yeah, she's cheating on me all
the time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right and then and then Max is like, Yo, you're
talking about about me.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
You told me lies. That's why they're getting into it
now because he's like, Yo.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
What the f Kitie says typical narcissistic behavior.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, Ryotstone Cowgirl says, nobody thought to fact check or
ask questions due. I mean it's hard when someone's like, oh,
I'm telling you this in confidence.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
It's like, yeah, Like I was just thinking, like if
I if I had someone do that, I don't know
that my instinct would be to fact check. To fact
check necessarily depends on what the thing is. But I
feel like I.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Prolemends how much you trust that person that's being like, yes,
if it's like if it's like, dude, did you hear
John was flashing old ladies at Walmart yesterday? That was
not me Florida, I would be like, show me the
video video or did the old lady see Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Listen, I did I grow literally up across from Walmart. Yes,
I am from Florida. However, that is fake news, fake news,
fake news.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
So I like, like, I think, depending on the trustworthiness
of the person, yeah, you're gonna investigate.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
But I guess I am.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Surprised no one investigated. Yeah, I guess I have a
little surprise as a well.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
People that are narcissists usually they want to win people
over and people have to win them over, like, oh,
I'm good enough, all I'm good enough to be here,
So they probably want to be on his good side
so that he wouldn't be mad at them, if that
makes sense, Like.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Basically he is trying to do this, I'm telling you
in confidence for them to like, for instance, it seems
like he was typically the victim in all these stories. Yeah,
and he's making himself he was trying to curry favor.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, they points, So what a way to blame dude,
blame wow, giving a bad name to all. Sam's truly
Sam Chad stop, Sam cham Chen and I are in
the same boat over here.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Hey, it's Sam, your og host.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Here.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three
minutes of ads from our sponsors. Sam had told them
and then made them promise not to bring it up
to me. Yesterday, when I first heard from Ted everything
that happened, every lie that was alleged, I wanted to
write out a list of everything he's told different people.
But it all looks so ridiculous, so made up, so
hard to believe that I sounded genuinely mental. In my
(28:49):
first ever post where I talked about this. I said
that I didn't want to include any of the specifics
of Max's texts because they might identify me, and that
for most part they were very random and not related
to the housing situation. I'm sure you can guess by now,
but it turns out they were not random, and many
of his texts Max accused me of being crazy, mistreating Sam,
(29:09):
and frequently cheating on him, which I brushed off as
just thinking he had taken the red pill and now
thought all women were cheating gold diggers. I will reiterate
as many times as I need to. I have never
in my life cheated on anyone, let alone Sam. I
don't want to share too many personal details, but I
(29:29):
will say that my family was ripped apart by cheating
when I was a child, and it's part of the
reason that I don't speak to my parents at all.
People may have noticed that with how much I talked
about Daisy's parents being like my surrogate parents in the comments,
and Daisy is the person that she was going to
move into the friend that was abroad in the previous post.
But if I'm honest, they're not like them. They are
(29:52):
them the closest people in my life for the last
three years have been Daisy and Sam, and they both
know this about me, but many don't, not because I
don't tr trust them, but just because you'd have to
catch me at an extremely vulnerable moment for me to
speak about it at all. Anyway, all that to say
that Max believed what he said to me was true,
not because he hates women, hates me, or is jealous
(30:15):
in either a platonic or romantic way, but because Sam
is an effing liar who's been telling Max these things
for years. Max's list of lies is the only one
I haven't gotten yet, and he's the only one I
haven't spoken too directly. I have texts from him, well,
from Harry paraphrasing the text that Max tried to send
me at six am after the party ended, only to
(30:36):
realize that he was blocked, telling me that Sam had
been lying about many things, including cheating. He was so
angry at him and so sorry to me. So at
least I know that Still not a good move to
just like yell at people. Yeah, even if he did
think they did that, like I still I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, like the way that Max was there's a way
to confront someone and like let him oh, like yo,
this is without doing that.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, and they probably would have been like, what are
you talking about? I didn't do that. You know, you
would have gotten to the truth more easily if you
just came at the truth a little bit more elegantly.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
A great point. A great point. Well, I've unblocked him.
Here we go. I think we're gona did more truth.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Let's cook called and even texted to Harry, asking you,
we've got to have a proper conversation with him. But
it seems that after crashing on Harry's couch, Harry's one
of the other friends after the party, Max disappeared and
turned off his phone. If I had to guess, I
would say he probably went to Sam's apartment to get
his stuff. But as far for what happened after only
Sam's only Sam knows, and I am not unblocking him.
(31:39):
Nobody else in the group has heard from either Sam
or Max since the party, but it's only been about
a day or so, so there's no cause for concern.
Yet still I can't lie. I'm slightly worried. I couldn't
have expected or even hoped for an explosion like this,
and yet I've somehow come out unscathed and with my
friends firmly back on my side.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
That is a win.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That is a huge w That is a freaking w op.
You deserve that, oh, I guess not all the thought,
but you deserve the friends.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yes, we deserve the good things that are happening now.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Whether I want them by my side after staying quiet
about all things Sam told me, Sorry, confide it is
another story, and I won't lie and say that. I'm
not enraged that they could hear such outlandish things about
me and not say anything. But on the other hand,
there are also many things that Sam told me about
them that turned out to be lies, so I don't
want to be too much of a hypocrite. In fact,
this is why I'm so desperate to speak to Sam,
(32:34):
because there are several things Sam told me about him
that could be entirely so that could be entirely false,
in which case We've been pitted against each other for
no reason other than Sam's strange complex. I've googled what
medical conditions can cause compulsive lying, and so to answer
some questions, I've foreseen the comments. Know I've never seen
(32:56):
Sam touch any substance other than booze. I don't know
of any outstanding mental illnesses, and he doesn't have any
medications he's meant to take, and I know of no
previous trauma that could make in this way. Could I
call up his mom and ask about his childhood and
try to ascertain why he did what he did? Maybe,
but I'm not his girlfriend anymore. I feel nothing other
(33:16):
than contempt and disgust towards him, and I owe him
nothing after he lied to me and everyone else four years.
I'm sorry to say that that is where my update ends.
I wish I had more particulars that I could get
in touch with Max, or that I could tell you
why Sam lied or how he kept it up for
so many years. I don't have the truth of anything,
so I'm only left with lies and fires to put out.
(33:39):
It's not a good feeling. And if I didn't have
Daisy her parents' head or read it, I couldn't even
tell you what I would be doing right now. Even
with this loving community around me, in so many apologetic
friends spamming my phone, I can't tell what I should
do next. People say that the truth is what sets
you free, but I feel as though I've become untethered,
(34:00):
or maybe instead, I feel as though I've just discovered
that I've been untethered for years. So thanks Reddit. Maybe
I'll update again if I ever hear from Max again,
or maybe this is it, and the next time you
hear from me, I'll be on plant clinic asking about
my devil's ivy. She doesn't like the new apartment. Goodbye
for now and keep safe. Ps to everyone asking if
(34:22):
the names Sam and Max are from a certain pair
of homo erotic animal detectives.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
No comments? What is that? Maybe the the pet? It's detective?
The show? Yeah? Is this show? Show? Yeah? Right? Patrol?
Pap Patrol? Is that it? That's crazy? Is it like
a SpongeBob and Patrick type of.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
But there is an update? Four We're an update four
was Samary and Max are getting married? Just kidding, But
I am updating because Max finally responded to my messages
and agreed to me with me.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
We go after the party.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
About a week ago, Max crashed on Harry's couch and
then left before anyone else had woken up, turning off
his phone and going mia. He's back on the grid now, though,
staying with his parents until his place is ready. So
when I messaged him and invited him to coffee, he
decided to come. I know there were comments advising me
against meeting him at all, given his treatment of me,
but I think we both needed some closure. I think
(35:18):
it's one thing to need closure after loving someone for years,
but hating someone for years and then finding out that
you were both wrong is another level of ft up.
So yeah, we went to a cafe and we finally
hatch it out. It was super awkward, and somehow there's
even more to this story than I thought. But I
think before I share any of that, we should start
from the very beginning. Oh, the very very beginning. Oh god,
(35:43):
we're reading backstory now. So I met Sam during Fresher's
week in my university. He was a year above me, nineteen,
and I was a fresher eighteen. Max didn't go to
UNI it all, actually, but had gone straight into an
apprenticeship after sixth form and only visit our UNI on
the weekend. I didn't meet him in person until second year,
when I became a lot closer with Sam and his friends.
(36:04):
I was twenty, Sam was twenty one, and Max is
twenty three. Their mothers were childhood friends. And so put
a lot of pressure on Sam and Max not only
get along, but to also be extremely close. That pressure
to be close and get along also affected Sam's UNI life,
as Max would visit him often on weekends. I wasn't
particularly close to Sam during mike first year, we were
just in the same friendship group since we did similar courses,
(36:25):
but I do remember frequently hearing about Sam having a
friend home from home over However, Max was never really
introduced to the group. When speaking with him, Max said
Sam would rush off the idea, saying they didn't want
to split his attention with anyone else, and so Max
shouldn't shouldn't worry about doing the rounds of his UNI friends.
Sam wasn't able to keep Max separated forever, though Max
(36:46):
was able to make himself a part of the group.
When Harry, another mutual friend, had an internship that summer
in the same town Max and Sam were from. As
he spent his time bouncing between their homes, they all
became much closer.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Hearing that.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I joked that Max definite should have stayed with Harry
at the beginning of this ordeal since he clearly owed him,
but I think Max still felt too guilty to laugh low.
All that background to say that Max strongly suspects that
Sam's lying could have begun when he felt as though
his UNI friend group was threatened by him and that
he wanted to regain some control. So Sam was like, oh,
(37:20):
Max is getting too close to my unique friends and
their mine and all mine. That's not exactly what he said,
but I've reworded it with the help of my therapist.
Oh yeah, I'm in therapy now. Honestly good. Great, this
sounds like a case where you've been through a situation
where you might need it.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
By our second year at UNI, Harry was very pro
Max and invited him up independently of Sam to hang out.
Their hometown is incredibly close, like twenty five or like
a twenty minute drive away, so Max was off work
began to hang out more and more with us, eventually
becoming a permanent fixture of the group. It was around
this time when I first met Max at a Christmas party.
(38:00):
One of the people online in Sam's course, was throwing
I don't really remember it myself. I think I was
quite wasted, but I didn't think much of it. On
the other hand, Max tells me he remembers it quite well.
This part of the conversation was by far the most
awkward part, but Max told me that practically the minute
they arrived, he had asked Sam to introduce us. I
(38:21):
asked him why, and he hesitated at first until he
admitted that he was interested in me.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Max had the.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Hots for op oh oh whoa yeah, but if a
plot twist there case and in case anyone was wondering, no,
Me and Sam were not yet a thing yet. In fact,
Sam wasn't even on my radar until a month later,
so I can't tell you if he felt threatened or
anything like this. For his part, Max admitted that his
interest was short lived and that it was unlikely that
(38:47):
Sam jennuiney felt threatened, especially since I didn't even remember
our first meeting, But he thinks this fact may have
contributed to Sam's lies centering on me cheating a subconscious
worry because of Max X's former interest. In my opinion,
Max's theories on why Sam did what he did didn't
make a lot of sense to me, but that may
be either because I don't know Sam like he does,
(39:09):
or the opposite that Max is too close to the
painting to see the whole picture. Regardless, I thought I
would share with you guys to put your minds to rest,
since so many were still begging for me to dig
around and find a root cause. I can also send
many comments pushing me into trying to figure out whether
Max still likes me or not. Is there something there?
And I'm just telling you now that you are jumping
(39:32):
the pew pew. I need a pepew. I need a
serious break from relationships right now, and Max is actively
looking for a therapist. Also, yeah, probably not a girlfriend. Also,
a vengeance fueled hookup isn't going to end well for anyone.
The youop for making the smart decision, and I seriously
doubt that his feelings are sustained slash renewed. The meeting
(39:54):
was so awkward that the only emotions I could read
off him were guilt, shame, and dis comfort. So sorry,
but my life is not a movie, just a series
of unfortunate events, which is a movie. Me and Max
have gone our separate ways, ending on a good, if.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Not awkward note.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
We got to apologize to each other for everything, Max
for the abuse, Me for witching. Yeah, I used to
wish about that guy to other people like it was
a national support, like it was a national sport, and
we both agreed to let each other know if Sam
ever contacted them again. I finally asked him about the
real reason he got punted out of his apartment, and
it turns out that the story Sam gave me was
(40:31):
a lie. Of course it was who could have guessed.
And it turns out Max's girlfriend was actually cheating on him,
hence his dramatically sudden and insulting exit from their apartment.
He said it was an excuse, but an explanation for
why he had such a volatile reaction to my refusal
to let him stay. As combined to the things Sam
told him about my cheating and isolating tactics, he felt
(40:54):
as though Sam was going through a similar thing to him.
I assured him that I'd long forgiven him, that Sam
was big enough scapegoat for all of us to move forward,
regardless of everything else, and that I'd see him next
dinner party our friends hosted. Yeah, I know many people
wanted me to ditch them, but after Sam's lives were
revealed and they realized they'd all been affected, they banded
(41:15):
together and pretty effectively punted them.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Out of his out of their lives.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It hasn't been easy navigating the tensions in the wake
of Sam, especially given that there's no that there's no
now there is now no mediator to diffuse tensions. But
the silver lining is that there's also no narcissists who
will use those tensions to his own advantage and pit
people against each other. I'm just taking it slow and
not expecting too much. In personal news, though I took
(41:42):
a lot of advice in the comments about joining local
groups to make friends. Daisy is also slightly friendless since
she's been abroad for so long, and I didn't think
it was a good idea to bring her into Sam's
my friend group of UNI friends during such tumultuous time.
I don't know how to refer to them, since they
only became my main friend group after I graduated and
star to dating Sam again. But regardless, Daisy doesn't know
(42:03):
them very well and I don't think their personalities would match,
so I guess they're going to look for something else.
By the way, you should never look for anywhere else
to get your daily dose of stories, because you can
listen to our podcasts every day by just searching up Okay,
storytime wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yet the truth?
Speaker 1 (42:22):
So instead, we've been going to a couple of paint
and sip sessions, gigs, bars, and other fun places here
and there. It's been amazing watching our friendship blossom despite everything,
and I just need to reiterate again that she is
the loveliest human ever and I am so lucky. Okay.
That is the end of the update, and probably the
final one, since I don't see anything crazier happening this
(42:44):
time around. I hope everyone who has supported me thus
far is experiencing success, good health, and even better friendships.
I will continue good check, I will continue to re
apply to comments as much as I can and check dms.
Thank you so much everyone for all the engagement, good
and bad, and for supporting my growth.
Speaker 5 (43:02):
Wow wow, and that is where that ends. Good golly, goobers.
That was a that was a roller coaster. But you
know what, I do kind of like where we landed.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
I love where we landed.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
I'm glad that Sam was found out and I'm kind
of glad that and I'm kind of glad that OPI
has that whole friend group back and now maybe has
the beginnings of another friend.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Group, which is kind of cool. Love. I love to
see it, we love to see it.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
I love to see it healthy. She reinvested herself in
healthy way and didn't go down the rabbit hole of revenge. Yes,
my friend's fiance cheated on her while seriously ill.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
So I'm helping her get back on her feet.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I feel like you should sweep that man off his
feet and into a shallow grave.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
Sweep him and not in the winning way. Now, I've
been waiting for so long for a story to post
her and oh boy, it's a crazy one.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
Give it to us.
Speaker 5 (43:53):
It is not mine, but I do have my friend's
permission to post about it here. So I am a
pediatric nurse and friendships built during crazy shifts are.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Right or die.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
By the way, this comes from Candy Andy, and you
can submit your own story on the r slash Okay
storytime subreddits.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
So introducing Anissa.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
I trained her and through horrible bosses, understaff shifts and
loads of fast food between calls, we became best friends.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Nice four years ago.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Anissa met a guy let's call him Kevin, and they
got engaged about one and a half years ago.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
I never really got to know him well, but didn't
like his vibe.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
We are usually a fun and loud group and other
partners adapt quite well. However, Kevin kept to himself, barely talked,
and didn't show any signs of humor. In truth, I
always thought that she would grow bored of him one
day and just leave him. She seemed happy, though, so
I never said anything, not my monkey, not my circus.
So last summer the two of them bought a house
(44:52):
in a small town in the middle of nowhere, like nowhere,
like there's nothing there, mind you, they lived in the
city before, nobody got their choice. But again, she seemed
happy anyways, so they buy the house in the morning.
In the evening, she started feeling weird about some bruises
and skin irritation, which got worse over the day. To
(45:13):
be safe, Anissa checks in with the hospital after some
back and forth, and they agreed to draw some blood.
That night, she was diagnosed with leukemia, and instead of
moving into their new house, she moved into the hospital
for the next three months.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
That is the worst timing ever.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yeah, and what do we know about terminal illnesses and fidelity?
Speaker 5 (45:36):
Yep, it's bad, it's bad. Oh God, Well, now he says. Now,
that's not the bad part.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
When the griminal illness isn't the bad.
Speaker 5 (45:44):
Part, for being in the three through us the hospital
is not the bad part, you see.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
The bad part.
Speaker 5 (45:50):
Is that while she had to stay in the hospital
for twelve weeks, Kevin decided he was a little lonely.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
We gotta get some stress relief, you know.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
Apparently a stress ball was not enough for him to squeeze. Yeah,
he's a great guy, So he signed up for dating
websites and went off with other women while Anissa was
being treated and had to come to terms with a
very severe illness. In case you were wondering, no, he
never visited her in the hospital in three months.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
His excuse, even like hospitals.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
No like him.
Speaker 3 (46:23):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I mean maybe if he realized that a lot of
health workers are down for a romp in the sack,
maybe he would Maybe he could, Yeah, maybe he would.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
He would go over there. He would have been flooring it. Yeah.
I would have been like speed, I need to be
there right now. I'll be there twenty four to seven
thirty sixty five.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
Leaving a pause here for you all to yell the audacity,
Miss Jaybird said says, glad they got it early. Honestly,
that's what it seems like, which is good. I mean,
Opie is writing this story. And then Sam Chan says,
is the boyfriend named Sam? By the way, Sam Chan, Uh,
I'm gonna hopefully, I hope not.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
I will have no more Sam slander in these stories.
We got to put a stop to that.
Speaker 5 (47:04):
Now, seven months into treatment, she found out because she
for she found the credit card receipt with the fees
from the dating sites.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Dude, how are you that dumb? Yeah? How are you
that dumb? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Oh god.
Speaker 5 (47:42):
So he went on a long weekend with his affair
partner and told her to pack her things and get
out of the house. Dimension they had a dog. He
was also keeping the dog since she was in the
middle of chemotherapy. She didn't fight because she simply couldn't.
She moved in with me, and I love having her here.
It's your early thirties funny women shared apartments. He keeps
(48:04):
tearing down walls in the house and not building anything
back up. It's out telling her that's what he just
keeps just tearing down a lot.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Is destroying everything, including their relationship.
Speaker 5 (48:15):
I mean he's gonna house gonna collapse, like the relationship.
That's what is sounding like. The lawyers were very clear
if she sells now, she will lose a lot of
money and she will have to pay speculation tax because
they just bought the house and are selling it again
so quickly.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
So.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Speculation tags.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
They are taxing everyone out here.
Speaker 5 (48:35):
It's everyone's getting these taxes. So he is super confident
that she won't sell. This is where I come in.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
I am a petty, petty person. I was born that way.
So I got to work.
Speaker 5 (48:46):
I got her a better lawyer and made sure that
she had a great home. But most importantly, we are
currently raising money any way we can to get his
sorry booty out, because no, he doesn't have the income
or savings to buy out her part of the house. Now,
before you come to me for being a bad person,
he cannot afford the mortgage on the house. He refused
(49:06):
to let her buy the house from him because he
wouldn't leave and he moved in with his affair partner.
So he is racking up debt on the mortgage and
she is liable and has to cover it while she's
going to chemo. What so you guys help me be
petty times a thousand and share the story. If you
want to support her, you can donate help Asana Fight
(49:29):
Cancer by Joanna. However, she is also just happy about
any support and love she can get. Right now, I
will update you on how this goes. Love you w
aputty potatoes. We have an update. What if we think
is going to happen?
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I don't know. I hope she somehow gets a house back.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
That would be great. That would be a win.
Speaker 5 (49:49):
Yeah, because like he can't even pay for it anyways.
And I'm also, oh, I guess technically the debt he's
racking up is.
Speaker 3 (49:56):
With her because they're still still married. That is. That sucks.
That sucks, but you gotta.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
I mean, I feel like, even if he's racking up debt,
I think like just getting yourself out of that situation
as soon as possible. It's like, yeah, I think you're
only gonna have more debt the longer you stay with him, right.
Speaker 5 (50:13):
Yeah, And if your finances are already ft, might as
well make your mental health not aft.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
Right, Let's let's get out and save ourselves the trouble there.
Bobby got an update. Hey, it's Jean, your og host here.
Speaker 5 (50:24):
We're gonna get back to the stories, but here's a
quick three minute break of ads from our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
So good news.
Speaker 5 (50:29):
First, we love that my friend has received offers for
free legal advice, which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Well, let's go.
Speaker 5 (50:35):
She's so happy, thanks to everyone who commented on the
original post. Also, her ex fiance has seen the GoFundMe
and is furious. Kevin now believes that she can cover
some of his shares and his costs since she's raising money.
Speaker 3 (50:47):
We shut this down super quick.
Speaker 5 (50:49):
Since it was his wish to keep the house and
the dog and have his affair practically move in, he
is entitled to nothing since they broke off the engagement
and they were never married, so they never officially got
legally married.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Oh thank god, thank god, because that would have sucked
good gravy.
Speaker 3 (51:11):
And yeah, Cheryl says, not married, they're engaged, hallelujah. He
was also.
Speaker 5 (51:14):
Unhappy with how he was portrayed and claimed we were
being untruthful. However, since he cheated, he has communicated everything
to her overtexts, so we got receipts. Anyways, her go
fundme has been going well so far, but obviously keep
sharing the story anywhere you can, and we have update
number two.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
Hit me with it, Johnny.
Speaker 5 (51:35):
Hey, guys, I'm gonna give you a quick update on
Anissa and Kevin. If you haven't read my original thread,
here's the tea. Kevin cheated on Anissa while she was
out going through chemo and got her out of the
house by bringing his mistress constantly, so Anissa temporarily moved
in with me. The update is that Anissa was recently
released from hospital and finished her last iv chemotherapy.
Speaker 3 (51:55):
Yay, let's go.
Speaker 5 (51:56):
Her immune system is still down and she's currently fighting
a colt.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
Keep her in your thoughts. Hopefully she will get through
this just fine.
Speaker 5 (52:03):
She is still in the hospital twice a week for
checkups and it will take a bone marrow sample from
the seventeenth of this month to see if the IVY
chemo got rid of the cancer for good.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
And we're hoping. We're hoping.
Speaker 5 (52:15):
We're hoping now about Kevin. Since we started to gofund me.
His first reaction was to ask for a portion of
the money we collected so far, which is not happening.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Kevin, where are you getting this audacity?
Speaker 2 (52:26):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (52:27):
Give us some, Give us some. It must be lovely
to go through life with this kind of king kingly attitude.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
Just just entitlement, purely gallivanting and just collecting anything you
want along the way.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
With no cast. Be nice, Kevin, call him, Oh.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
My boy forged some nuts, I'll tell you that much.
After being pissed about this for a while, he changed course.
He suddenly owns forty pounds in shares, which he wanted
to sell to bust her out. He talked to his
lawyers because he was sure it was enough, and was
basically laughed at by them because obviously it isn't. His
income is still too low and barely covers the monthly
(53:07):
rates of the mortgage, so now he's moving in with
his mistress for good so she can help him pay
for the mortgage. Regarding the forty thousand bucks, Anissa has
done the math, and during their time together they first
started saving on his account and then on their shared one,
which he would routinely empty into his own account. So
(53:27):
everything that was left over of her salary every month
went straight to him.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
Oh so he's like stealing. H Wow, this gets worse
and worse.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (53:37):
By the way, if you want to drain the best
content imaginable and pour it into your ear holes, well
look no further than Spotify, Apple Podcasts, your favorite pot
app and search. Okay, story time, listen to the full
episodes stories just like this, ladies and gentlemen. But we
are quickly reaching end of the story. I mean, it
(53:59):
seems like Kevin is gonna get his comeuppance. Opie and
Anissa are having an amazing sisterly bond helping each other.
Is also shout to Opie been an angel in this
in this situation. I mean, I don't know what you think, Sam,
I think at this point, we just hope and pray.
Kevin continues a downfall and Anissa just rises.
Speaker 3 (54:18):
Like the yeah she is.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
I mean, just stay far away from that man, just
just run, just run.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
Things are things are looking.
Speaker 3 (54:26):
Up, things are looking up.
Speaker 5 (54:26):
Let's see if let's see if we've got more positivity
in the last last bit of the story here, let's
find out. So don't bash her she knows not to
do this ever again. But overall, she transferred about thirty
five thousand bucks to him during their time together, thirty
five and this is pounds, by the way, so this
is like probably more like forty grand usd.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
Yeah, that is my god, that is crazy.
Speaker 5 (54:51):
So we're guessing that's the money that he owns and shares,
but we cannot prove it other than that he has
been extra nice to her out of fear of her
going to fund me picking up more steam and she
will sell the house. So he's been trying to get
her to promise she won't, which she doesn't and won't
because she still would like to cut all ties. She's
an angel and keeps being friendly to him. She's starting
(55:13):
to feel at home at my place, well our place,
and that's great to see.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
And that is the end.
Speaker 1 (55:20):
Well, it seems like Ope isn't a much. Ope's friend
is in a much better place on the up and
in the beginning, so we love to see it. We
hope for more, Yeah, we hope for more. Not all
these stories have such a beautiful little bow ending. That
is true, that is true, but it's what a lovely
story to end our episode on Yeah put a bow
in the end, so if you love us, make sure
(55:41):
to subscribe.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
We love you and see it tomorrow
Hey, this is Sam. This is a John your og
okay storytime podcast host, and we got some great stories
coming up. Before that, we have a quick two minute
break from the sponsors that keep the show a lot.
My boyfriend didn't want his friend moving in, but he
lied to his friend and blame me. Liar, liar, blamer,
liar and blamer. Let's see what this boyfriend really does.
So I twenty four female, live with my boyfriend. I
(00:23):
twenty four female, live with my boyfriend twenty five male
in a two bedroom apartment in a major city. However,
we've been fighting for almost a week because of a
decision I made spitefully, and therefore I may be the
a hole okay, small apartment, so it's impossible to avoid
him for much longer. I mean it's a two bedrooms.
I don't know how much you can avoid each other.
(00:45):
I really need a third party opinion on the matter. Well,
welcome to the party where we give you a third
our thoughts. By the way, this comes from Monoque, but
Mononochus no kis mo no phokis all right? By the way,
this has come from Monodochus Moon. And if you want
(01:05):
to spit your own stories go to the r slash
okay storytime subreddit. So for some background, we've been officially
dating since we moved in together two years ago when
I graduated from UNI, but we were hooking up for
about a year before then a classic love story. During
that year, we weren't together, so to speak. My boyfriend
(01:26):
let's call him Sam, and his best friend let's call
him Max. We're living together in this house. Max, twenty
seven male, has been my boyfriend's friend for years, and
it's basically like an older brother to him. We've never
really gotten along, but please believe me, I have tried.
It's just that Max never seems to be interested in
(01:48):
getting to know me, or at worse, gets genuinely annoyed
by me interacting with him. Sam thinks it's probably the
age difference me being twenty four in him being twenty
seven that make him Riley. Did you change the story?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I did not. I did not.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
These are the real because my.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Name is Sam, and I'm twenty seven, and I have
a friend named Max. Now I turned twenty eight in February.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's right, that's right, you just turned twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yep, that makes him not very interested in getting to
know me. But I think that if he can get
on with Sam despite the two year age gap, then
what's the problem with getting on with his girlfriend age
gap beside?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, not a crazy age gap? What what? What? What?
What is a crazy age gap at twenty seven? Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Forty three?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, dude, it's gotta be.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Seventy seventy dude, seventy seventy to above. That's too crazy. Anyway,
it's besides the point, but I think it's pretty relevant
for the actual argument. Also, Bethany says conspiracy theory, Max
is into Samo.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Into one. That's a good one. That's a good one.
We love that it right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Basically, Max recently broke up with his girlfriend, and since
he was living with her, she rightfully punted him out. Now,
before you ask, I have no idea why he thought
he would still have somewhere to live after telling his
landlady with benefits that he wasn't spicy, sleepily attracted.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
To her anymore. Ouch, But I digress.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Now Max is homeless and is asked to stay with Sam.
And yes, if you're wondering, I also live here and
pay for rented utilities an equal amount to Sam. But
I suppose Max only wanted to ask the person whose
name is on the lease. All this aside, Sam doesn't
want Max to come live with us again, which works
for me because I wouldn't particularly like to live with
(03:39):
a guy who doesn't even deign to speak to me.
I think Sam doesn't want him living here because he
used to be a bit of a slob when they
live together. His words, not mine, but I would imagine
he also doesn't want another person in this small apartments. However,
Sam clearly lacks a spine to say any of this
to his friend. So who does he use as an excuse?
(04:04):
Oh no, yeah me? Oh no, whack given us Sam's
with spines, bad names. Yeah that's right, grow a spine,
grow a spine. Get that back back. Apparently he told
Max how he would love for him to come and
live with him again. Oh I love it so much
like the good old days, just us two boys boying around,
(04:30):
but his stupid girlfriend won't let it happen. Oh p
p you.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I could live with this if Max could act like
an adult about it. But he's now starting to blow
my phone up with texts calling me a witch, calling
me jealous, literally, just random insults that don't even address
the main issue. Really great, really great, It's gonna it's
definitely gonna make them want to live with you before
you ask. They're so specifically cruel. Well, I am afraid
(05:01):
if I copy and paste them here, it will be
instantly obvious who I am who I've shown them to Sam.
But he told me to ignore them and do them
a favor. How about you do everyone in your life,
including you, a favor by growing a spine.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I want you to reverse Mortal Kombat yourself. You know
how they like like take the head and go quick,
and there's a little spine floating in the video game.
I want you to get get that spine shoved into
your body. Put it in shoved into your body.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I meant to say that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Put that put that thing in there. Ye, put that
dangling thing in the back of your throat, right in
your throat first. Yeah, yeah, exactly. This spines only. He
argued that since Max and I already don't like each other,
there's no harm in letting me take the fall for
(05:57):
this decision. I mean, there's harm in thinking you're a butt.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Actually there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
This is where I might be the a hole because
on day ten, day ten of receiving abusive messages from Max.
Instead of ignoring him or blocking him, I just told
him the truth.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A great move.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It was late at night, and I was tired, and
I was slightly tipsy from a bottle of wine. Sam
was out with Max, still enjoying his friendship despite the
horrible things his friend was saying to his girlfriend. Uh gross.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So yes, before you ask, I was feeling vengeful, and
I think a lot of me did it out of spite.
You know, sometimes vengeance needs to strike. Sometimes the back
signal is out in the air, and you gotta go,
and you gotta do some wham and pals, you know,
send out some send out some feisty text messages late
(06:51):
at night.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Use that spine, Yeah, use that spine that he doesn't have.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, take his noodlely spine and whip Max with it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, Spike.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
To be honest, the worst part is Max didn't believe me,
and if anything, it only made him angrier at me.
So in a way, the only thing I succeeded at
doing was breaking my promise to Sam not to tell
him simply because I let Max get in my head.
Maybe you should break your promise of being with this guy. Yeah,
(07:22):
Bethany asked, why does Sam even want to keep a
relationship with Max, a man who is abusing his girlfriend anyway,
dump Sam let him and Max live together in misery facts, Bethany,
that is some snaps well deserved.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Dear Bethany, what.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Was the reason why Sam didn't want Max to move in?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Because he's a slab, he's a slob and he a
small apartment another person like I feel like general like
roommate stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's like. And also he seems like he sucks. Yeah, yeah,
he does suck.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
After I sent the message, I got a call from
Sam but ignored it and it went promptly to bed.
When I woke up, I assume a couple of hours later,
I had an angry boyfriend in my bedroom telling me
that I was an a hole not the word he used, actually,
and that Max didn't even believe me. I then asked
why it mattered so much since Max didn't believe me,
(08:15):
But I think he had one too many drinks because
he couldn't answer me and went to sleep on the couch.
It's been a week now and we've been giving each
other the silent treatment. Wow, it's a long, long time. Yeah, yikes,
Sam Chan says, strip him off his name. He doesn't
deserve to be a Sam who he now? He's nothing?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, man, I don't know nobody should we.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I mean, if you give me a minute, I can
change his name.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
No, no, no, it's okay. Max has come over a couple
of nights, sitting on the couch and watching football with
Sam and giving me a similar stink eye. But I've
just left them to it and have moved into the
guest room, partially to avoid Sam, partially to stop him
from letting Max sleep here. So yeah, I'm typing this
on day five of the Cold War.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I don't know if that that method is actually going
to work, because he might not be sleeping in the
guest room. He might be sleeping with Sam. I think
it might be a budding, a romance brewin.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They took that romance, and they're they're saying the bee
is now optional.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The bee is optional for the bedroom is absolutely necessary.
It's mandatory, mandatory. Yeah, I'm typing this on day five
of the Cold War from the guest bedroom while my
boyfriend is sleeping in our bed, still angry at me
for jeopardizing his friendship. Am I the a hole? There
(09:38):
is an update, John, Oh, there is an update.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
What should Op do? Okay? What should do?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Tell me? Tell me, give me your sage wisdom.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I got you first of all, Op, not the a
hole at all. The boyfriend. If if the boyfriend really
didn't want him as a roommate.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Then he should have told him. And and the fact
that he first off that was already bad.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
But the fact that them then Max comes around is
insulting you. He doesn't defend you all the stuff, like,
he doesn't care about you. He cares more about Max
than he does yet that is true.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Is literally prioritizing precious relationship with Max.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, so not the ahole at all.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
And I mean, like I think sitting him down first,
or sitting him down and be like, hey, do you
do you see do you see what's happening here? Do
you see how you literally prioritize him over me? And
see what he says just to lowkey, just to see
him like and.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I mean, it's obvious they need a breakup. They need
to break a breakup, break up. I don't think he'll
do it. Why are you still writing this story and
not writing I'm breaking.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Up with you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, it could be maybe that's what we get in
the update.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
It could be soon. But I'm on team breakup for.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Sure, team breakup. Let's see what happens in the updates.
That's not that, he says, time to get a prevorse. Yes, well,
for everyone who thought they might be sleeping together, you
were right. I called them effing and sucking in our
living room.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What not sucking?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
They were effing and sucking what at the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I was not expecting that.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Who someone said that? Someone said that early on? Who
said that?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Did you guys? I highlighted that, don't you remember?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, he said that.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Oh my god, we saw it coming, and I guess
he saw them coming as well.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It was coming.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, they were coming coming in the flesh.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That makes it even more complicated because why would Sam
not w max there anyways?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think he does. He's trying to. I think he's
trying to have his cake and suck it too.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, Yeah, he's just he's just like living this ruse
and and loo ky. I feel like Sam is just
like weirdly in the middle. Why not just go be
with with him?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I guess. I guess he's just messy. He wants, he
wants bold, he just wants, just want. He's just crazy
and he sucks.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Just kidding, Ah, they had what.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I wanted that, come on, I wanted that all that
would probably be funnier than this update is going to
be if you didn't see my previous post, basically the
TLDR for people asking. So my boyfriend threw me under
the bus when his friend needed a place to stay,
saying it was just me that was against it, and
then didn't defend me after against the barrage of abusive
texts his best friend sent me there after. So I'm
(12:20):
still here in the guest room using Reddit as my
only means of escape from my depressing reality. But for
everyone who warned me that Sam would probably cave and
let Max move, and eventually, yeah, he did, and it
only took one day since my last post, they are
not sharing a bed yet I still think. I still
(12:41):
think they're gonna that's always gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
We got a lot more to this story, oh yeah,
just starting.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Max has parked himself on our couch and shoved his
stuff inside what used to be our bedroom. I was
working from home this afternoon when the two of them
started moving in, so I was able to grab everything
and lock it in the guest room with me barricade. Actually,
Sam texting me asked me to talk to them over dinner,
probably about future living arrangements, since it's clear what is
(13:09):
inevitable here. But I just told them that I was
coming down with the flu and should be avoided. Even
though it's annoying to have to talk so nicely to him,
I still have to live here for two weeks more
before I can escape, so I'm trying to act as
normally as possible. I'm really lucky that one of my
friends is coming back from her work abroad in about
two weeks, since her parents have arranged an apartment for
her to move into, and she's invited me to stay
(13:31):
with her there until I can find somewhere else. That's great.
That's great. So it seems like op Is is building
up the courage and the means to break up, because,
like I guess, if she broke up now, this guy's
pretty childish, it might just make like the living situation
terrible for the next.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Two weeks, and maybe she just needs to be outside
of like living there. Twenty four to seven just for
a beat, Yeah, to kind of come to.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You know, kind of get our things, get our things
in order. Yes, it's been so difficult for me while
she's been gone, since she was basically my only friend
in the city who wasn't also friends with Sam and Max.
Speaking to her, even if it's in the middle of
the night where she is, where she is and she
has no reception, has opened my eyes to how quickly
(14:18):
I need to get out of both this relationship and
this building. Well, girls out there, talk to your friends.
They're seriously the biggest blessing you'll ever get. So Yeah,
if anyone has any advice to make these two weeks
pass a little quicker, it would be appreciated. I think
I'm still a devil woman in both their eyes, and
our mutual friends are somehow taking Sam's side. I don't
(14:41):
know if you spun them a different story, or it's
just the fact that they were all his friends first,
or even the fact that he's the baby of the group. Yeah,
how did I not see that this was a red flag?
But at this point it doesn't even matter anymore. Thank
you to everyone who commented, showed interest and concern, etc.
I didn't know how much I needed to speak to
(15:02):
someone who wasn't friends with Sam. Hopefully my next update
will be when I'm moved out, But for now, I'm
safe and grateful.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And there is an update. Okay, wow, there is an
update pro folded.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm still thinking they're doing something.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, I mean we we we still got time in the.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Story, and I wonder what I feel like Sam maybe
poisoned the well with the friends too, because.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh like he isolated Ope from the rest of the
friend group because they share friends.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yes, and basically now that this fallout is happening, he's like, yeah,
he's just like spreading whatever rumors.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Lies, Yeah, spreading lies. Yeah. We got another update.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We got like a bunch of updates here, So I think, uh,
I think we're gonna get some juice.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Give it to me to get some juice.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So, if you didn't see my last two posts, held
r boyfriend saying I'm twenty five mail use me twenty
four female as an excuse to his best friend, Max,
twenty seven male, who was punted out of his apartment.
Maxon blew up my phone with abuse. Sam didn't defend me.
I told Max the truth. Sam got mad at me.
Move max in anyway, and I locked myself in the
guest bedroom. And I'm still here waiting for my friend
(16:17):
to get back from abroad so that I can move
into her apartment. Her parents are arranging from her, so
let's get into it. Hello, beautiful people of reddits. The
sun has just come out metaphorically speaking. I still live
in the UK, and I've been inspired to write this
mini update to tell everyone all the petty things I've
been doing while I wait for my best friend to
(16:38):
come back from abroad so that we can move in together.
For everyone wondering about it, I have amazing news. Her
parents have doubled down on helping me and are trying
to speed up the apartment stuff so that there's a
chance to start moving my stuff in even earlier. Yep,
as for the update, I thought i'd keep coming back
to this post and adding to it every time I
did something petty.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I said in my last post that I was going
to live quietly so that Sam wouldn't pump me out,
but some really amazing people messaged me to advise that
I blackmail him into letting me stay until the end
of the month by threatening to inform the landlord of
Max's illegal tendency.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
That is how fun is that? Without further ado, here
is the list with the dates attached. Hopefully I'll keep
coming back to it and editing it and will try
to credit the Reddit users who advise me. Twenty third
to twenty fourth September twenty twenty four had a lock
installed on the guest bedroom. Thank you ab in parking ad.
(17:43):
But all the stuff I bought in the guest bedroom,
such as the toaster, coffee machine and all my plants.
Thanks better turnover. Call my mail co worker over to
install a lock. He's a man lover, but Sam doesn't
need to know that, and slightly dressed up while he
was over. Thanks Mommy Kraken for that inspiration bot. Two
packets of shrimp if you know, you know, like no.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Way after DZA is he allergic to it? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, thank you Pride to Cape Town. What does that mean?
What tell me about the two packets of shrimp is
tell us cleared a specific shell for me in the
fridge and bathroom cabinet, started labeling all my stuff really
passive aggressively. Have not bought glitter yet because I'm so
accident prone I can't ensure that it won't get all
(18:31):
over me first, but trust when I say that there
are plans in motion on this front. I know about
the I know about the the glitter glitter bombing people.
So sending like a glitter bomb in the mail and
them opening it. Yeah, oh oh oh Sly the toes says,
you put shrimp inside curtain rods so they rot and snank.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh what pretty smart dang but a little evil. Yeah,
it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Jem says, sow them into the God, y'all are crazy.
I can't sure that it won't get all over me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
First.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Thank you some other Reddit users. Sorry if there's anyone
I forgot to thank. I'm totally swamped with comments and
I'm trying my best to apply to all of them.
I'll update more tomorrow if there's any suggestions, but feel
free to comment. More suggestions on Petty Revenge I can
take as I began moving out and we got an edit. Guys,
I made a stirfi with the shrimp. Oh my god,
I'm not going to use them. Please stop commenting telling
(19:28):
me not to use them. I know, I'm sorry. I
thought it was common sense to see that it wasn't
going to create an illegal biohazard in property owned by
innocent landlord. And we have an update. So funny Jeff said,
shrimp under the mattress. Wow, just put shrimp everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Devious because they.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Don't glean.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
It's true, they're dirty. Hey, you can eat.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Some of the shrimp to make it look like they
ate it and just left it around.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Playing evidence. Yes, all right, but.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
We got another update. Oh and we're not even halfway
down with this story. Oh sorry to everyone who was
waiting for this post yesterday, but the revelations that occurred
after dropping the screenshots on Sam Max and our mutual
friends were so crazy that I had to talk to
everyone at the party to confirm the stories. Even now,
(20:20):
there's so much to say and so much unconfirmed that
I'm not confident this post won't have to be updated
with several editions or revisions here and there. I'm also
very unsure how to present this information without it sounding insane.
But I've realized there is no way to present insane
information without it sounding well like what it is.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Oh. To put shortly, Sam lied.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
About what about?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
What? What about? What? Let's see it?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
To put it longly, Sam has lied to everyone in
his life for several years, the point that I am
doubting every interaction I've ever had with any of my
friends or acquaintances. Oh my god, I can't even begin
to imagine the scale of defamation that he has brought
(21:13):
upon my life. Insane right, But before I get into particulars,
we should talk about what specifically went down at the party.
I wasn't there, obviously, as it was a party to
celebrate me moving out, So everything I am telling you
now is secondhand information, primarily from Ted, my informant, but
also from a couple of other mutual friends who have
since come around to my side. Around midnight is when
(21:33):
I sent the screenshots I had collected. Unfortunately, I couldn't
find any evidence of Sam admitting over texts that he
had lied to Max. But I did find several screenshots
where he brushed off my pleas for him to stop
Max from abusing me, and obviously I had many, many
screenshots of Max's abuse. I knew that there were several
people in the group who I had talked to about
Max's behavior before, who were supportive of me, and so
(21:55):
I thought that I could at least save my friendships
with them. I sent the screenshots to the group chat
we had, then left and deleted it, turning my phone
off and settling down for a movie marathon the Alien Movies,
if anyone was interested, although I fell asleep midway through
Alien three. Ted said that when the collection of photos dropped,
(22:16):
literally everyone at the party stopped. Oh, like the collection
of photos dropped to everyone at the party.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That wow, wow, kind.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Of brilliant, he said. They were hanging out in the
living room when one of our friends bolted upright and
asked Max if he really texted those things to me
or if the text were fake hmmm. At the moment,
Max Wasted apparently smirked and said, yeah, thank god, that
cheating slag is back on the streets, which is when
(22:47):
the rest of our friends looked at Sam. The man
at the hour was pale and avoiding eye contact. Ted
then asked if it was true that I had cheated,
and Sam said nothing. Well, Max ranted and raved about
how crap Ted was for questioning Sam. Ted then asked again,
and another friend asked if Sam had any proof. Sam
tried nod, but then made no attempt to show anyone
(23:10):
any kind of proof. Max then seemed to sober up
slightly and asked Sam why he wasn't asking Kelly, one
of our mutual friends, to show everyone the evidence, since
you guys are finally broken up now, so it doesn't
even matter if everyone finds out. Everyone then looked at Kelly,
who just looked confused, saying that she had never heard
(23:31):
about me cheating, nor did she have any evidence of it.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
The web of lies, dude? What is grumbling?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What did Sam say to that?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Nothing? Not a word.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Maybe it was because he was wasted, or maybe he
realized he had been found out, but he just stayed
completely silent. The spineless man is consistently spineless, staring down
at his own lap, which is all he can do
because he has no spine and hold him up if
you tried it, can't do it, exactly like that John
(24:04):
in the last story he read. Eventually, one of her
other friends, Harry, asked Sam if it was true that
I was stealing money, which prompted everyone to now turn
to him. Sam stayed silent, and Harry then asked again
and asked what Sam had told him last night was
(24:24):
even true? My ex Boyfriend's lack of response then seemed
to prompt other people to begin questioning him. I won't
and can't bore you with the nitty gritty of what
happened next, since I wasn't there and everyone was wasted,
but Ted tells me it all started to unravel after
Harry's comments. Multiple other friends had been told that it
was Max who was stealing money, and I think there
(24:45):
was even a third version for some others, though I
can't confirm. I don't know how precisely they started to
figure out that most everything of what Sam told them
in confidence was bs, but I hear it was pretty shocking.
Ted tells me that the party ended soon after, with
him and several others leaving, but other friends waiting for
(25:07):
cabs told me that Max and Sam almost got into
a physical altercation, and that their argument ended with Max
leaving to sleep on Harry's couch. And if any of
that sounds confusing, please remember I heard all this secondhand
from hungover individuals who were wasted during it, and have
only shared things that multiple people confirmed happened. I was
obviously told more unconfirmed details about how Sam lied about
(25:31):
almost every part of our relationship in different ways to
almost all of our friends. I know that each of
them had their own private grievance with me that Sam
had told them and then made them promise not to
bring up to me.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I can't believe he got away with it from so
long too, Like this was a network of lies that
he is finally crumbling down, Like, imagine how long it
took to build this network.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Like with everyone he had so basically to make sure
understanding very quickly, Sam ran around basically telling all of
these lies like one to one people like Hey, I'm
telling you in confidence, don't tell anyone else. So no
one was kind of like writing it. I guess to
figure figure it out both about OP everyone else, And
(26:17):
so it was OP Max and like all the other
He basically was just like lying and make everyone look
bad to each other.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
In the whole group.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah wow, And that's why most mascifically the girlfriend. But
that's why Max was like, oh I hate this girl
because he was like, yeah, she's cheating on me all
the time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right and then and then Max is like, Yo, you're
talking about about me.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
You told me lies. That's why they're getting into it
now because he's like, Yo.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
What the f Kitie says typical narcissistic behavior.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, Ryotstone Cowgirl says, nobody thought to fact check or
ask questions due. I mean it's hard when someone's like, oh,
I'm telling you this in confidence.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
It's like, yeah, Like I was just thinking, like if
I if I had someone do that, I don't know
that my instinct would be to fact check. To fact
check necessarily depends on what the thing is. But I
feel like I.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Prolemends how much you trust that person that's being like, yes,
if it's like if it's like, dude, did you hear
John was flashing old ladies at Walmart yesterday? That was
not me Florida, I would be like, show me the
video video or did the old lady see Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Listen, I did I grow literally up across from Walmart. Yes,
I am from Florida. However, that is fake news, fake news,
fake news.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
So I like, like, I think, depending on the trustworthiness
of the person, yeah, you're gonna investigate.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
But I guess I am.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Surprised no one investigated. Yeah, I guess I have a
little surprise as a well.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
People that are narcissists usually they want to win people
over and people have to win them over, like, oh,
I'm good enough, all I'm good enough to be here,
So they probably want to be on his good side
so that he wouldn't be mad at them, if that
makes sense, Like.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Basically he is trying to do this, I'm telling you
in confidence for them to like, for instance, it seems
like he was typically the victim in all these stories. Yeah,
and he's making himself he was trying to curry favor.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, they points, So what a way to blame dude,
blame wow, giving a bad name to all. Sam's truly
Sam Chad stop, Sam cham Chen and I are in
the same boat over here.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Hey, it's Sam, your og host.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Here.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three
minutes of ads from our sponsors. Sam had told them
and then made them promise not to bring it up
to me. Yesterday, when I first heard from Ted everything
that happened, every lie that was alleged, I wanted to
write out a list of everything he's told different people.
But it all looks so ridiculous, so made up, so
hard to believe that I sounded genuinely mental. In my
(28:49):
first ever post where I talked about this. I said
that I didn't want to include any of the specifics
of Max's texts because they might identify me, and that
for most part they were very random and not related
to the housing situation. I'm sure you can guess by now,
but it turns out they were not random, and many
of his texts Max accused me of being crazy, mistreating Sam,
(29:09):
and frequently cheating on him, which I brushed off as
just thinking he had taken the red pill and now
thought all women were cheating gold diggers. I will reiterate
as many times as I need to. I have never
in my life cheated on anyone, let alone Sam. I
don't want to share too many personal details, but I
(29:29):
will say that my family was ripped apart by cheating
when I was a child, and it's part of the
reason that I don't speak to my parents at all.
People may have noticed that with how much I talked
about Daisy's parents being like my surrogate parents in the comments,
and Daisy is the person that she was going to
move into the friend that was abroad in the previous post.
But if I'm honest, they're not like them. They are
(29:52):
them the closest people in my life for the last
three years have been Daisy and Sam, and they both
know this about me, but many don't, not because I
don't tr trust them, but just because you'd have to
catch me at an extremely vulnerable moment for me to
speak about it at all. Anyway, all that to say
that Max believed what he said to me was true,
not because he hates women, hates me, or is jealous
(30:15):
in either a platonic or romantic way, but because Sam
is an effing liar who's been telling Max these things
for years. Max's list of lies is the only one
I haven't gotten yet, and he's the only one I
haven't spoken too directly. I have texts from him, well,
from Harry paraphrasing the text that Max tried to send
me at six am after the party ended, only to
(30:36):
realize that he was blocked, telling me that Sam had
been lying about many things, including cheating. He was so
angry at him and so sorry to me. So at
least I know that Still not a good move to
just like yell at people. Yeah, even if he did
think they did that, like I still I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, like the way that Max was there's a way
to confront someone and like let him oh, like yo,
this is without doing that.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, and they probably would have been like, what are
you talking about? I didn't do that. You know, you
would have gotten to the truth more easily if you
just came at the truth a little bit more elegantly.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
A great point. A great point. Well, I've unblocked him.
Here we go. I think we're gona did more truth.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Let's cook called and even texted to Harry, asking you,
we've got to have a proper conversation with him. But
it seems that after crashing on Harry's couch, Harry's one
of the other friends after the party, Max disappeared and
turned off his phone. If I had to guess, I
would say he probably went to Sam's apartment to get
his stuff. But as far for what happened after only
Sam's only Sam knows, and I am not unblocking him.
(31:39):
Nobody else in the group has heard from either Sam
or Max since the party, but it's only been about
a day or so, so there's no cause for concern.
Yet still I can't lie. I'm slightly worried. I couldn't
have expected or even hoped for an explosion like this,
and yet I've somehow come out unscathed and with my
friends firmly back on my side.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
That is a win.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That is a huge w That is a freaking w op.
You deserve that, oh, I guess not all the thought,
but you deserve the friends.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yes, we deserve the good things that are happening now.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Whether I want them by my side after staying quiet
about all things Sam told me, Sorry, confide it is
another story, and I won't lie and say that. I'm
not enraged that they could hear such outlandish things about
me and not say anything. But on the other hand,
there are also many things that Sam told me about
them that turned out to be lies, so I don't
want to be too much of a hypocrite. In fact,
this is why I'm so desperate to speak to Sam,
(32:34):
because there are several things Sam told me about him
that could be entirely so that could be entirely false,
in which case We've been pitted against each other for
no reason other than Sam's strange complex. I've googled what
medical conditions can cause compulsive lying, and so to answer
some questions, I've foreseen the comments. Know I've never seen
(32:56):
Sam touch any substance other than booze. I don't know
of any outstanding mental illnesses, and he doesn't have any
medications he's meant to take, and I know of no
previous trauma that could make in this way. Could I
call up his mom and ask about his childhood and
try to ascertain why he did what he did? Maybe,
but I'm not his girlfriend anymore. I feel nothing other
(33:16):
than contempt and disgust towards him, and I owe him
nothing after he lied to me and everyone else four years.
I'm sorry to say that that is where my update ends.
I wish I had more particulars that I could get
in touch with Max, or that I could tell you
why Sam lied or how he kept it up for
so many years. I don't have the truth of anything,
so I'm only left with lies and fires to put out.
(33:39):
It's not a good feeling. And if I didn't have
Daisy her parents' head or read it, I couldn't even
tell you what I would be doing right now. Even
with this loving community around me, in so many apologetic
friends spamming my phone, I can't tell what I should
do next. People say that the truth is what sets
you free, but I feel as though I've become untethered,
(34:00):
or maybe instead, I feel as though I've just discovered
that I've been untethered for years. So thanks Reddit. Maybe
I'll update again if I ever hear from Max again,
or maybe this is it, and the next time you
hear from me, I'll be on plant clinic asking about
my devil's ivy. She doesn't like the new apartment. Goodbye
for now and keep safe. Ps to everyone asking if
(34:22):
the names Sam and Max are from a certain pair
of homo erotic animal detectives.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
No comments? What is that? Maybe the the pet? It's detective?
The show? Yeah? Is this show? Show? Yeah? Right? Patrol?
Pap Patrol? Is that it? That's crazy? Is it like
a SpongeBob and Patrick type of.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
But there is an update? Four We're an update four
was Samary and Max are getting married? Just kidding, But
I am updating because Max finally responded to my messages
and agreed to me with me.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
We go after the party.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
About a week ago, Max crashed on Harry's couch and
then left before anyone else had woken up, turning off
his phone and going mia. He's back on the grid now, though,
staying with his parents until his place is ready. So
when I messaged him and invited him to coffee, he
decided to come. I know there were comments advising me
against meeting him at all, given his treatment of me,
but I think we both needed some closure. I think
(35:18):
it's one thing to need closure after loving someone for years,
but hating someone for years and then finding out that
you were both wrong is another level of ft up.
So yeah, we went to a cafe and we finally
hatch it out. It was super awkward, and somehow there's
even more to this story than I thought. But I
think before I share any of that, we should start
from the very beginning. Oh, the very very beginning. Oh god,
(35:43):
we're reading backstory now. So I met Sam during Fresher's
week in my university. He was a year above me, nineteen,
and I was a fresher eighteen. Max didn't go to
UNI it all, actually, but had gone straight into an
apprenticeship after sixth form and only visit our UNI on
the weekend. I didn't meet him in person until second year,
when I became a lot closer with Sam and his friends.
(36:04):
I was twenty, Sam was twenty one, and Max is
twenty three. Their mothers were childhood friends. And so put
a lot of pressure on Sam and Max not only
get along, but to also be extremely close. That pressure
to be close and get along also affected Sam's UNI life,
as Max would visit him often on weekends. I wasn't
particularly close to Sam during mike first year, we were
just in the same friendship group since we did similar courses,
(36:25):
but I do remember frequently hearing about Sam having a
friend home from home over However, Max was never really
introduced to the group. When speaking with him, Max said
Sam would rush off the idea, saying they didn't want
to split his attention with anyone else, and so Max
shouldn't shouldn't worry about doing the rounds of his UNI friends.
Sam wasn't able to keep Max separated forever, though Max
(36:46):
was able to make himself a part of the group.
When Harry, another mutual friend, had an internship that summer
in the same town Max and Sam were from. As
he spent his time bouncing between their homes, they all
became much closer.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Hearing that.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I joked that Max definite should have stayed with Harry
at the beginning of this ordeal since he clearly owed him,
but I think Max still felt too guilty to laugh low.
All that background to say that Max strongly suspects that
Sam's lying could have begun when he felt as though
his UNI friend group was threatened by him and that
he wanted to regain some control. So Sam was like, oh,
(37:20):
Max is getting too close to my unique friends and
their mine and all mine. That's not exactly what he said,
but I've reworded it with the help of my therapist.
Oh yeah, I'm in therapy now. Honestly good. Great, this
sounds like a case where you've been through a situation
where you might need it.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
By our second year at UNI, Harry was very pro
Max and invited him up independently of Sam to hang out.
Their hometown is incredibly close, like twenty five or like
a twenty minute drive away, so Max was off work
began to hang out more and more with us, eventually
becoming a permanent fixture of the group. It was around
this time when I first met Max at a Christmas party.
(38:00):
One of the people online in Sam's course, was throwing
I don't really remember it myself. I think I was
quite wasted, but I didn't think much of it. On
the other hand, Max tells me he remembers it quite well.
This part of the conversation was by far the most
awkward part, but Max told me that practically the minute
they arrived, he had asked Sam to introduce us. I
(38:21):
asked him why, and he hesitated at first until he
admitted that he was interested in me.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Max had the.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Hots for op oh oh whoa yeah, but if a
plot twist there case and in case anyone was wondering, no,
Me and Sam were not yet a thing yet. In fact,
Sam wasn't even on my radar until a month later,
so I can't tell you if he felt threatened or
anything like this. For his part, Max admitted that his
interest was short lived and that it was unlikely that
(38:47):
Sam jennuiney felt threatened, especially since I didn't even remember
our first meeting, But he thinks this fact may have
contributed to Sam's lies centering on me cheating a subconscious
worry because of Max X's former interest. In my opinion,
Max's theories on why Sam did what he did didn't
make a lot of sense to me, but that may
be either because I don't know Sam like he does,
(39:09):
or the opposite that Max is too close to the
painting to see the whole picture. Regardless, I thought I
would share with you guys to put your minds to rest,
since so many were still begging for me to dig
around and find a root cause. I can also send
many comments pushing me into trying to figure out whether
Max still likes me or not. Is there something there?
And I'm just telling you now that you are jumping
(39:32):
the pew pew. I need a pepew. I need a
serious break from relationships right now, and Max is actively
looking for a therapist. Also, yeah, probably not a girlfriend. Also,
a vengeance fueled hookup isn't going to end well for anyone.
The youop for making the smart decision, and I seriously
doubt that his feelings are sustained slash renewed. The meeting
(39:54):
was so awkward that the only emotions I could read
off him were guilt, shame, and dis comfort. So sorry,
but my life is not a movie, just a series
of unfortunate events, which is a movie. Me and Max
have gone our separate ways, ending on a good, if.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Not awkward note.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
We got to apologize to each other for everything, Max
for the abuse, Me for witching. Yeah, I used to
wish about that guy to other people like it was
a national support, like it was a national sport, and
we both agreed to let each other know if Sam
ever contacted them again. I finally asked him about the
real reason he got punted out of his apartment, and
it turns out that the story Sam gave me was
(40:31):
a lie. Of course it was who could have guessed.
And it turns out Max's girlfriend was actually cheating on him,
hence his dramatically sudden and insulting exit from their apartment.
He said it was an excuse, but an explanation for
why he had such a volatile reaction to my refusal
to let him stay. As combined to the things Sam
told him about my cheating and isolating tactics, he felt
(40:54):
as though Sam was going through a similar thing to him.
I assured him that I'd long forgiven him, that Sam
was big enough scapegoat for all of us to move forward,
regardless of everything else, and that I'd see him next
dinner party our friends hosted. Yeah, I know many people
wanted me to ditch them, but after Sam's lives were
revealed and they realized they'd all been affected, they banded
(41:15):
together and pretty effectively punted them.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Out of his out of their lives.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It hasn't been easy navigating the tensions in the wake
of Sam, especially given that there's no that there's no
now there is now no mediator to diffuse tensions. But
the silver lining is that there's also no narcissists who
will use those tensions to his own advantage and pit
people against each other. I'm just taking it slow and
not expecting too much. In personal news, though I took
(41:42):
a lot of advice in the comments about joining local
groups to make friends. Daisy is also slightly friendless since
she's been abroad for so long, and I didn't think
it was a good idea to bring her into Sam's
my friend group of UNI friends during such tumultuous time.
I don't know how to refer to them, since they
only became my main friend group after I graduated and
star to dating Sam again. But regardless, Daisy doesn't know
(42:03):
them very well and I don't think their personalities would match,
so I guess they're going to look for something else.
By the way, you should never look for anywhere else
to get your daily dose of stories, because you can
listen to our podcasts every day by just searching up Okay,
storytime wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yet the truth?
Speaker 1 (42:22):
So instead, we've been going to a couple of paint
and sip sessions, gigs, bars, and other fun places here
and there. It's been amazing watching our friendship blossom despite everything,
and I just need to reiterate again that she is
the loveliest human ever and I am so lucky. Okay.
That is the end of the update, and probably the
final one, since I don't see anything crazier happening this
(42:44):
time around. I hope everyone who has supported me thus
far is experiencing success, good health, and even better friendships.
I will continue good check, I will continue to re
apply to comments as much as I can and check dms.
Thank you so much everyone for all the engagement, good
and bad, and for supporting my growth.
Speaker 5 (43:02):
Wow wow, and that is where that ends. Good golly, goobers.
That was a that was a roller coaster. But you
know what, I do kind of like where we landed.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
I love where we landed.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
I'm glad that Sam was found out and I'm kind
of glad that and I'm kind of glad that OPI
has that whole friend group back and now maybe has
the beginnings of another friend.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Group, which is kind of cool. Love. I love to
see it, we love to see it.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
I love to see it healthy. She reinvested herself in
healthy way and didn't go down the rabbit hole of revenge. Yes,
my friend's fiance cheated on her while seriously ill.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
So I'm helping her get back on her feet.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I feel like you should sweep that man off his
feet and into a shallow grave.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
Sweep him and not in the winning way. Now, I've
been waiting for so long for a story to post
her and oh boy, it's a crazy one.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
Give it to us.
Speaker 5 (43:53):
It is not mine, but I do have my friend's
permission to post about it here. So I am a
pediatric nurse and friendships built during crazy shifts are.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Right or die.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
By the way, this comes from Candy Andy, and you
can submit your own story on the r slash Okay
storytime subreddits.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
So introducing Anissa.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
I trained her and through horrible bosses, understaff shifts and
loads of fast food between calls, we became best friends.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Nice four years ago.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Anissa met a guy let's call him Kevin, and they
got engaged about one and a half years ago.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
I never really got to know him well, but didn't
like his vibe.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
We are usually a fun and loud group and other
partners adapt quite well. However, Kevin kept to himself, barely talked,
and didn't show any signs of humor. In truth, I
always thought that she would grow bored of him one
day and just leave him. She seemed happy, though, so
I never said anything, not my monkey, not my circus.
So last summer the two of them bought a house
(44:52):
in a small town in the middle of nowhere, like nowhere,
like there's nothing there, mind you, they lived in the
city before, nobody got their choice. But again, she seemed
happy anyways, so they buy the house in the morning.
In the evening, she started feeling weird about some bruises
and skin irritation, which got worse over the day. To
(45:13):
be safe, Anissa checks in with the hospital after some
back and forth, and they agreed to draw some blood.
That night, she was diagnosed with leukemia, and instead of
moving into their new house, she moved into the hospital
for the next three months.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
That is the worst timing ever.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yeah, and what do we know about terminal illnesses and fidelity?
Speaker 5 (45:36):
Yep, it's bad, it's bad. Oh God, Well, now he says. Now,
that's not the bad part.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
When the griminal illness isn't the bad.
Speaker 5 (45:44):
Part, for being in the three through us the hospital
is not the bad part, you see.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
The bad part.
Speaker 5 (45:50):
Is that while she had to stay in the hospital
for twelve weeks, Kevin decided he was a little lonely.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
We gotta get some stress relief, you know.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
Apparently a stress ball was not enough for him to squeeze. Yeah,
he's a great guy, So he signed up for dating
websites and went off with other women while Anissa was
being treated and had to come to terms with a
very severe illness. In case you were wondering, no, he
never visited her in the hospital in three months.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
His excuse, even like hospitals.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
No like him.
Speaker 3 (46:23):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I mean maybe if he realized that a lot of
health workers are down for a romp in the sack,
maybe he would Maybe he could, Yeah, maybe he would.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
He would go over there. He would have been flooring it. Yeah.
I would have been like speed, I need to be
there right now. I'll be there twenty four to seven
thirty sixty five.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
Leaving a pause here for you all to yell the audacity,
Miss Jaybird said says, glad they got it early. Honestly,
that's what it seems like, which is good. I mean,
Opie is writing this story. And then Sam Chan says,
is the boyfriend named Sam? By the way, Sam Chan, Uh,
I'm gonna hopefully, I hope not.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
I will have no more Sam slander in these stories.
We got to put a stop to that.
Speaker 5 (47:04):
Now, seven months into treatment, she found out because she
for she found the credit card receipt with the fees
from the dating sites.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Dude, how are you that dumb? Yeah? How are you
that dumb? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (47:18):
Like, oh, medical build Medical build Medical bill.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
On Tinder plus plus Well, no Farmers only.
Speaker 5 (47:27):
A full plot edition make it clap dot squish.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Riley is that available? Oh no, We're Gettings and your
Daddies dot com.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Oh god.
Speaker 5 (47:42):
So he went on a long weekend with his affair
partner and told her to pack her things and get
out of the house. Dimension they had a dog. He
was also keeping the dog since she was in the
middle of chemotherapy. She didn't fight because she simply couldn't.
She moved in with me, and I love having her here.
It's your early thirties funny women shared apartments. He keeps
(48:04):
tearing down walls in the house and not building anything
back up. It's out telling her that's what he just
keeps just tearing down a lot.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Is destroying everything, including their relationship.
Speaker 5 (48:15):
I mean he's gonna house gonna collapse, like the relationship.
That's what is sounding like. The lawyers were very clear
if she sells now, she will lose a lot of
money and she will have to pay speculation tax because
they just bought the house and are selling it again
so quickly.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
So.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Speculation tags.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
They are taxing everyone out here.
Speaker 5 (48:35):
It's everyone's getting these taxes. So he is super confident
that she won't sell. This is where I come in.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
I am a petty, petty person. I was born that way.
So I got to work.
Speaker 5 (48:46):
I got her a better lawyer and made sure that
she had a great home. But most importantly, we are
currently raising money any way we can to get his
sorry booty out, because no, he doesn't have the income
or savings to buy out her part of the house. Now,
before you come to me for being a bad person,
he cannot afford the mortgage on the house. He refused
(49:06):
to let her buy the house from him because he
wouldn't leave and he moved in with his affair partner.
So he is racking up debt on the mortgage and
she is liable and has to cover it while she's
going to chemo. What so you guys help me be
petty times a thousand and share the story. If you
want to support her, you can donate help Asana Fight
(49:29):
Cancer by Joanna. However, she is also just happy about
any support and love she can get. Right now, I
will update you on how this goes. Love you w
aputty potatoes. We have an update. What if we think
is going to happen?
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I don't know. I hope she somehow gets a house back.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
That would be great. That would be a win.
Speaker 5 (49:49):
Yeah, because like he can't even pay for it anyways.
And I'm also, oh, I guess technically the debt he's
racking up is.
Speaker 3 (49:56):
With her because they're still still married. That is. That sucks.
That sucks, but you gotta.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
I mean, I feel like, even if he's racking up debt,
I think like just getting yourself out of that situation
as soon as possible. It's like, yeah, I think you're
only gonna have more debt the longer you stay with him, right.
Speaker 5 (50:13):
Yeah, And if your finances are already ft, might as
well make your mental health not aft.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
Right, Let's let's get out and save ourselves the trouble there.
Bobby got an update. Hey, it's Jean, your og host here.
Speaker 5 (50:24):
We're gonna get back to the stories, but here's a
quick three minute break of ads from our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
So good news.
Speaker 5 (50:29):
First, we love that my friend has received offers for
free legal advice, which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Well, let's go.
Speaker 5 (50:35):
She's so happy, thanks to everyone who commented on the
original post. Also, her ex fiance has seen the GoFundMe
and is furious. Kevin now believes that she can cover
some of his shares and his costs since she's raising money.
Speaker 3 (50:47):
We shut this down super quick.
Speaker 5 (50:49):
Since it was his wish to keep the house and
the dog and have his affair practically move in, he
is entitled to nothing since they broke off the engagement
and they were never married, so they never officially got
legally married.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Oh thank god, thank god, because that would have sucked
good gravy.
Speaker 3 (51:11):
And yeah, Cheryl says, not married, they're engaged, hallelujah. He
was also.
Speaker 5 (51:14):
Unhappy with how he was portrayed and claimed we were
being untruthful. However, since he cheated, he has communicated everything
to her overtexts, so we got receipts. Anyways, her go
fundme has been going well so far, but obviously keep
sharing the story anywhere you can, and we have update
number two.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
Hit me with it, Johnny.
Speaker 5 (51:35):
Hey, guys, I'm gonna give you a quick update on
Anissa and Kevin. If you haven't read my original thread,
here's the tea. Kevin cheated on Anissa while she was
out going through chemo and got her out of the
house by bringing his mistress constantly, so Anissa temporarily moved
in with me. The update is that Anissa was recently
released from hospital and finished her last iv chemotherapy.
Speaker 3 (51:55):
Yay, let's go.
Speaker 5 (51:56):
Her immune system is still down and she's currently fighting
a colt.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
Keep her in your thoughts. Hopefully she will get through
this just fine.
Speaker 5 (52:03):
She is still in the hospital twice a week for
checkups and it will take a bone marrow sample from
the seventeenth of this month to see if the IVY
chemo got rid of the cancer for good.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
And we're hoping. We're hoping.
Speaker 5 (52:15):
We're hoping now about Kevin. Since we started to gofund me.
His first reaction was to ask for a portion of
the money we collected so far, which is not happening.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Kevin, where are you getting this audacity?
Speaker 2 (52:26):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (52:27):
Give us some, Give us some. It must be lovely
to go through life with this kind of king kingly attitude.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
Just just entitlement, purely gallivanting and just collecting anything you
want along the way.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
With no cast. Be nice, Kevin, call him, Oh.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
My boy forged some nuts, I'll tell you that much.
After being pissed about this for a while, he changed course.
He suddenly owns forty pounds in shares, which he wanted
to sell to bust her out. He talked to his
lawyers because he was sure it was enough, and was
basically laughed at by them because obviously it isn't. His
income is still too low and barely covers the monthly
(53:07):
rates of the mortgage, so now he's moving in with
his mistress for good so she can help him pay
for the mortgage. Regarding the forty thousand bucks, Anissa has
done the math, and during their time together they first
started saving on his account and then on their shared one,
which he would routinely empty into his own account. So
(53:27):
everything that was left over of her salary every month
went straight to him.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
Oh so he's like stealing. H Wow, this gets worse
and worse.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (53:37):
By the way, if you want to drain the best
content imaginable and pour it into your ear holes, well
look no further than Spotify, Apple Podcasts, your favorite pot
app and search. Okay, story time, listen to the full
episodes stories just like this, ladies and gentlemen. But we
are quickly reaching end of the story. I mean, it
(53:59):
seems like Kevin is gonna get his comeuppance. Opie and
Anissa are having an amazing sisterly bond helping each other.
Is also shout to Opie been an angel in this
in this situation. I mean, I don't know what you think, Sam,
I think at this point, we just hope and pray.
Kevin continues a downfall and Anissa just rises.
Speaker 3 (54:18):
Like the yeah she is.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
I mean, just stay far away from that man, just
just run, just run.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
Things are things are looking.
Speaker 3 (54:26):
Up, things are looking up.
Speaker 5 (54:26):
Let's see if let's see if we've got more positivity
in the last last bit of the story here, let's
find out. So don't bash her she knows not to
do this ever again. But overall, she transferred about thirty
five thousand bucks to him during their time together, thirty
five and this is pounds, by the way, so this
is like probably more like forty grand usd.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
Yeah, that is my god, that is crazy.
Speaker 5 (54:51):
So we're guessing that's the money that he owns and shares,
but we cannot prove it other than that he has
been extra nice to her out of fear of her
going to fund me picking up more steam and she
will sell the house. So he's been trying to get
her to promise she won't, which she doesn't and won't
because she still would like to cut all ties. She's
an angel and keeps being friendly to him. She's starting
(55:13):
to feel at home at my place, well our place,
and that's great to see.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
And that is the end.
Speaker 1 (55:20):
Well, it seems like Ope isn't a much. Ope's friend
is in a much better place on the up and
in the beginning, so we love to see it. We
hope for more, Yeah, we hope for more. Not all
these stories have such a beautiful little bow ending. That
is true, that is true, but it's what a lovely
story to end our episode on Yeah put a bow
in the end, so if you love us, make sure
(55:41):
to subscribe.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
We love you and see it tomorrow
