Have been digging for stories on the Okay Storytime Podcast
as long as we can remember saying.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And we've found some diamonds of the rough, how haven't we?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
John?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's right. But before we do that, we have to
wade through two more minutes of incredible ads from our
sponsors keeping us finding more great stories on this show.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
My friend blackmailed me to write her thesis, so I
stood up for myself.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
The Joan ideas and it's back to School Week.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Let's dive into this one.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I twenty two female, am at my wits end with
this very ft up situation with my fellow student, Danielle.
Twenty two female Danielle and I are in college. We're
both working on our bachelor's degree. We started out as friends,
but our relationship got a bit weird. She was often
acting really entitled and like I had to cater to
(01:13):
her every need. She would also scream at me often,
especially when we were out partying. By the way, this
comes from Julie five eight six, and if you want
to smit your own stories, go to the r slash
Okay storytime subritt it. So because of that, I decided
to not spend any more time with her around last Christmas. However,
(01:33):
in the two years I was friends with her, she
naturally learned a lot about me. Some of those things
could definitely get me into legal trouble. I haven't talked
to Danielle in a few months, but I heard that
she was having trouble keeping up with her courses. Some
weeks ago, she showed up at my place wasted and
told me that she expects me to write her thesis.
(01:57):
It's a fifty page essay that we have until lie
to hand in and it will be crucial to finishing
our degree or else. She'll tell everyone, including the police,
about this.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Stuff I did. And yeah, she's got proof.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I thought it was a stupid joke or that she
was just super wasted, until I came home yesterday and
found a note from her saying the exact same thing,
and a USB stick with her working title and some
ebooks I should include in my writing. But what do
I do here? Write the dang thing for don't and
risk her going to the police. I can't really risk that,
(02:34):
though she could get me into serious trouble. I have
spoken to one friend of mine and he told me
to write it, but write it badly. I don't know
if that's such a good idea. Also, I still have
to finish finish my own thesis. I have no idea
if I will even be able to write hers in time. Edit.
I was hoping I didn't have to say what I did,
but here it goes. I had a short fling with
(02:55):
one of the assistant professors. He didn't know I was
a student there, though it was a comp dellocated situation. Anyway,
I got my hands on some exam sheets and sent
them to several friends, including Danielle. So her proof is
that email with the attachment. It's pretty solid proof. None
of that is going to get you into legal trouble.
You just might get suspended.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh no, I can't go to school for a semester.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
That's only going to get you in trouble with the school,
not with the law.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I thought she was looking at three to five years.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Dude, you're looking at no jail time.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh don't write that.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
These please are.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Going to say, Okay, I sent it for my spam
email address that I normally don't use, which doesn't have
my name in it. But I'm sure they could backtrack
it with IP address.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
And so on.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
There's no way I will come clean to the university,
as I will probably get expelled. I should also add
that in the note I got from her, she's explicitly
accusing me of that with name of the course, date
of the exam. So I am very reluctant.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
To show it to anyone.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Time Out, Time Out.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
There is an update.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
This is all in the cloud. This is all technical.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, dude, easy, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Oh my, So what you do is you find someone
that's really smart with computers and you make it look
like she did it. Yeah, it's then, yeah, you could
double accuse her. Pull the uh what's the bad teacher thing?
That's a great movie. Yeah, but yeah, dude, yeah, just
find a nerdy friend. You're good.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
She can't accuse you without her getting in trouble. She
goes to the Sorry, okay, she goes to the police.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
The police don't care. She goes to the.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
School and says, yeah, she sent me the answers. They say, you,
so you were cheating.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Why didn't you tell us when she sent those to you?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So you were cheating? She literally, you can't. You can't
lose update. First off, I wanted to clarify something because
there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding my edit in
the op. The exam sheets I sent to my friends
were of a completely unrelated course and we didn't actually
use them, so there was no cheating involved or something.
(04:54):
Here's what happened, and I'm aware that this makes me
look super stupid. I then a guy, let's call him Tom,
at the place where I work part time. He asked
me out on a date and we had three dates
as a whole. He obviously thought I worked full time
at that place we met. He on the other end
told me he was a researcher, maybe because it sounds
more exciting than being a professor at twenty eight, or
(05:16):
maybe he's both. I know it might sound unbelievable at
me being a student never came up, but we both
had traveled a bit and mainly talked about that. After
three dates, I slept at his place for the first time,
and when he went to buy breakfast in the morning,
I looked around a bit in his apartment and there
were some exam sheets on his desk. There was one
(05:36):
with the answer key, and then some exams that were
already taken by students, so he was correcting those tests.
I texted a friend of mine, not Danielle, Oh crap,
I think he's a professor. Friend text back, no way,
he's too young, proof she had seen pictures of him.
I then took a pick of the answer sheet and
sent an email to four of my friends, including Danielle,
(05:58):
writing something really do she along the lines of this
is how you get yourself through college or something. It
was supposed to be funny, but I cringe typing that.
I realize now that I was actually super lucky because
I lost my iPhone that week and had to use
an old phone of mine without WhatsApp, where the email
app was not linked to my college email address. So
that's why I didn't just send the pic via app,
(06:19):
but I had to send it over email with my
old spam email address. I hadn't use that address in
at least five years, and that was the only time
I used it because the next day I got my
iPhone back. Also, just as a side note, when Tom
came back from getting breakfast, I said I had to
go because I had classes. He looked pretty shocked. Then
I told him I only work at the workplace part
(06:40):
time and I'm also a student. He just said goodbye,
and that's the last I ever heard or saw of him,
so we never contacted each other again. I later found
him on the website's homepage. He is indeed a professor,
but for a completely different course, like if I would
study communications and he would teach microbiology. I hope this
(07:01):
makes him look less like a predator, as some commentaris
have called him.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I mean, he wasn't your teacher. He was never your teacher.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But that's why I'm looking for the age, because you know,
twenty eight with a.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Twenty sineteen year old not great.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
But she's getting her thesis. She's probably twenty two.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I mean, yeah, she's doing her thesis. She's like at
least twenty one. Yep, So the thing Danielle has on
me is actually not cheating on a test, but sleeping
with a prof and taking pics of an exam sheet,
even though completely unrelated to my courses, as proof of
being at his place, presumably sleeping with them now that
I think of it, though, she doesn't really have evidence
on that. The picture I took only shows the piece
(07:40):
of paper on a wooden desk. I could have found
it on campus or something. She also knows of smoking
Devil's lettuce, but as many of you have pointed out,
that's not something the police would be interested in anyway.
I read through all your comments. Some of you said
that she would incriminate herself by outing me because.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
She cheated on an exam.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Well, that would be the case, but everyone seems to
agree that the IP address tracking doesn't work the way
I imagined, So she doesn't really have anything on me,
right I.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So twenty two called it okay? Yeah, totalates.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I still don't really want to go to the police,
especially because of Tom, because he's a genuinely nice guy.
I actually thought about contacting him again after I finished
my degree, but don't know if that's a good idea
they wouldn't even need any evidence and would still launch
an investigation because it's such a touchy subject. So I'm
not sure about that. I think the best course of
action would be to write Danielle something like this, Hello, Danielle. Unfortunately,
(08:37):
I have no idea what you're talking about. I have
never sent out any exam answers, but what you are
doing sounds a lot like blackmail, which is illegal to
my knowledge. For the sake of our old friendship, I
will not directly go to the police for now, as
I'm suspecting you didn't really mean what you said in
your note. I heard that tutor is great at helping
students get started with her thesis, and I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
He can help you. What do you think or just ignore?
I honestly love that.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
No I send that over that. I think she's gonna
hold that over your head. You're gonna keep getting those
little yeah post it notes wherever you go, Nip it
in the bud.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Nip in the bud.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Say, I have no idea what you're talking about. I
also talk to the other three girls involved, and they
all deleted the email, and as they are not in
contact with Danielle, either. I don't think I need to
worry about that. Edit Okay, it seems like I actually
did nothing wrong, or at least nothing illegal. I'm not
gonna reply to Danielle, and I'm heading over to a
(09:34):
professor in an hour to tell him about the blackmail,
then maybe take it to the Dean. Still unsure if
I should give Tom a heads up, but I think
I'm just gonna leave him out of this. Also, I
haven't seen him in months, so not sure how he
would react. Edit too, just came back from the professor
Danielle's thesis advisor. I told him I was being blackmailed
by Danielle to write her thesis because of a short
(09:58):
relationship with a professor from another depart I looked it up.
As long as the professor doesn't have to grade you,
it's actually fine.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
It wouldn't even be a thing for the police because
you're like, you're a you know, of age.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And also if it was like a teacher student relationship
that was consensual, it would probably just be something through
the school, like that professor would get in trouble through
the school, not the police.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, and I mean, I don't know what you guys
explained there wasn't any sort of power dynamics. They were
knowledge that you go to the same school or you know.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, he said something along the lines of, that's interesting
because she already missed the first line or something. I
had planned to go to the dean, but he then
took me to the department head instead and explain the
problem to him, But he left out the part with
the blackmail. He just said this student was asked to
write another student's thesis. He was also really angry about
(10:49):
the whole thing. Later, I was alone with the department
head and he asked why she would think I would
write the thesis for her. I told them the same
thing I told the professor about the blackmail. Now, the
department had actually asked me who I had this relationship with,
and I said I wasn't comfortable to say, but he
was from another department altogether, and that was it. I
(11:10):
left the USB with them, so I don't really have
anything to go to the police with. But they said
they would take matters into their own hands now and
I shouldn't worry about it anymore. And when I asked
if I should go to the police, they said.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
No, I don't know. There's a little bit left to
this story.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Any final thoughts, No, this was very No.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
You you were never in any trouble, and I'm glad
that the people have read it helped you figure that
out and helped get this girl in trouble. She deserves
to be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And you shouldn't get in trouble just because you got
a little D on the side. Yeah, fiel me girlies, Yeah,
got a little tom D.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Dude. I don't understand. I don't understand cheating on papers.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Man.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Maybe it's because I was a literature major. Well, you're
against it, against it, Oh, I'm against it.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Write your own papers, yeah right, I never, I would never,
and I will never cheat on a paper that's stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Good for you after they specifically asked you not to.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, good for you. Yeah, thank you. Great integrity.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Trying to be a role model, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, only I would only like maybe do that if
I had no idea what the subject was about, and
I paid someone a good amount. Okay, hear me out,
hear me out here out.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Are you taking a class?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Okay? This is a scenario in my head, right, scenario,
I either feed my family and write a good paper
that I have nothing I know about, or I pay
someone and I still get to feed my family. It's
either I feed my family with the paper or they die,
and it has to be a plus paper.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Why don't you feed your family with the money that
you were going to pay that guy.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I'll lose my job, and it's a really good, high
paying job.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
I don't understand this hypothetical.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm just saying sense wherever you went to school was weird.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, but there's a little bit left to this story.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I then went to Tom's office. I was super nervous
about talking to him, but I just wanted to let
him know in case Danielle said anything crazy. So I
got there and he was pretty surprised to see me,
and I kind of told him the whole thing. I
didn't mention the picks, though, and he reacted pretty okay.
He told me he was sorry he never called again,
but when I said I was a student, he kind
(13:27):
of panicked and deleted all our texts and my number,
and then he talked to his head of department, who
told him it's actually no big deal, but then he
had already deleted my number. Then I asked him if
he wanted my number again and he said he is
a girlfriend now. So that was pretty embarrassing, but I
kind of laughed it off, and here we are.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I blocked Danielle.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
By the way, smart and folks, that's the end of
that story.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
My friend revealed a secret in front of my fiance.
I was humiliated.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Humiliation.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I will do my best to keep this to as
few words as possible. I have a small group of
people I consider my best friends that I've known all
my life. I'll use fake names from them for them, Beth,
Stack and Gwynn. The three of them, only Gwenn is
married and or in a relationship. And by the way,
this comes from throwaway big girl problem And if you
(14:22):
want us to my own stories, go to the r
slash Okay storytime separated it. I'm a big girl and
two hundred and sixty pounds. I've always had an issue
with my weight and has self esteem issues. I was
always told, you have such a beautiful face, and if
you were smaller, I date you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I've been in a few relationships where it was obvious
that my boyfriends at the time were ashamed to be
seen with me. It would never hold my hand in
public and never post pictures of us together on Instagram
or Facebook. My luck on dating apps insisted of being
ghosted or just being wanted for the spicy tango, and
I'm just embarrassed to say that I allowed myself to
(15:02):
be used by some of those guys. Eventually I stopped
responding to most messages. Three years ago, I met my
fiance Kyle at one of my nephew soccer games. Kyle
was a coach and approached me afterwards. He asked me
if I was ever gonna rip out his message. I
was confused, and he said he messaged me a week
(15:23):
prior and answered a question that I had on my
pof profile. That's when I remembered his message and I
got embarrassed. I told him that I had been busy,
and he asked me if I had any plans later
that night. My sister and nephew both liked him and
had told me as much. I agreed and exchanged numbers
with him, even though I felt like he was out
(15:44):
of my league. Kyle was advertised and in shape. To
this day, I didn't know why he didn't walk out
on me on that date. I got it into my
head that he was only after the spicy tango and
might have some big girl fatouche.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
We met yes for keeping fetush infinitely better. We're keeping fatouche.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh Man. We met up for an early dinner at
a casual Mexican restaurant, and within five minutes I asked him,
are you just looking for a hookup because you have
a thing for fat chicks? Shook his head and he
told me he was interested because of things I listened
on my profile, how I like soccer, my favorite wine
TV shows, and that my photos I posted showed that
(16:32):
I like to travel. He led most of the conversation
and tried to get me to open up and ask questions.
He would gently touch my hand from time to time
and tried flirty somehow. He asked me see me again, okay,
I mean you know okay, and the second eight went
a lot better. I found out that he was a
widower that lost his wife in two month old son
(16:53):
in a car crash a decade before. He tried dating
on and off for a few years, but nothing serious
came of it. He worked in the film I got
my degree in but had no luck getting hired. Within
three months, we were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Oh. My
friends and family were thrilled, and his family welcomed me in,
even his formal in laws. He considered family, all except Beth. Beth,
(17:17):
when I told her, kept asking me if I was
sure about him. She asked if he wasn't just using
me for spicy sleep, which had yet to happen. Then
it was, well, he probably doesn't want to have spicy
sleep with you. When I mentioned that he holds my
hand in public and would pull me a bit closer
to him when we would go up for drinks when
guys would talk towards us, suddenly it was he was controlling.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Come on, Beth, just enjoy that your girls getting a
w Why are you trying to bring her down?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Or maybe she wants her girls w Oh.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Very possible.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Eventually, Kyle met my three best friends and they all
liked immediately, and Beth said he was a keeper. He
helped me get hired to another company and my field,
starting at seventy k plus benefits after I politely declined
an opportunity to work alongside him. I can say all this.
Since Kyle has came into my life, he has shown
me nothing but love, affection, grace, and kindness He's also
(18:15):
helped me start to get past my insecurities. I was
over three hundred pounds when I met him. Now I'm
at two sixty. My initial fears of some fetouche of
his are gone, and he has been there in every
way I could ever want. A few days ago, we
hosted a dinner with Beth Stace and Gwynn and her husband,
Kyle and Gwynn's husband, Mike had become friends and they
(18:38):
did all the cooking and cleanup. Everything was going good
and we were all relaxing on the back porch drinking
some Wiener tails when Beth asked me in front of everyone,
why do you tolerate that picture of Kyle with his
wife and son?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
What an absolutely wonderful lady, What a great friend to have.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I was absolutely mortified. Kyle looked upset, but he was
keeping his composure. I explained that this was the only
picture he had of the three of them together, that
I would never ask him to hide it because that
was his wife and son, that he loved him, and
I know that Kyle loves me, and that she was
being rude and needed to call an uber to leave.
(19:23):
She absolutely had too much to drink and did it
seem like she wanted to leave when she absolutely embarrassed
me when she brought up a humiliation I had endured
with an X during the lowest point of my life
that I had told Kyle about. I bet keeping the
picture up was his idea, and you went along with it,
Like when Jeff made you wear a pick mask and
(19:45):
point while he was intimate with you.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Dude, Oh if I'm ope, like I'm about to get destardly?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, dude, but like that's wild.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
What the best thing to do?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Like, Ah, dude, this is the I'm voting this person
is the worst an over.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, get Bet. You gotta get Bet out of here.
Beth is completely out of your life now, dude.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Wow, you know what? Why are we bringing her down
so much?
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Bet?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
What is this? What is happening?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Beth is just Beth probably saw herself in the order
of the friends circle is probably above Op. And now
that Op has found a partner that's really into her,
she's feeling threatened. So she's doing it literally anything she
can to try to knock her down a peg so
that she's not at the bottom of.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
The social totem pole, which is just a terrible way
to move through life.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
This is insanity. Cale absolutely exploded on her and yelled
that she get the f out of our house. Mike
and Gwyn had a drag on a crying Beth out
with Stace following them. When they left, I started bawling
and looked at Kyle and he started to repeat that
I was sorry and if he didn't want me anymore,
understood all my insecurities that I had worked so hard
(20:54):
to overcome him came flooding back. He heugged me and
kissed me at the top of my head. He told
me what I did before him doesn't bother him. It
was Beth's humiliation that pissed him off. He told me
that was up to me if I remain friends with her,
but he doesn't want to be a round bath anymore.
He cleaned up the patio and held me as I
fell asleep crying. Today A texted Beth that we needed
(21:17):
to talk. We met up for brunch and she was
very embarrassed about her behavior, but I told her I
don't think I can be her friend anymore. She started
to blame Kyle for our friendship ending and said he
was effed in the head for making you look at
his passed away wife and kid. Don't throw away our
friendship for him, dude. You know what the funny thing
(21:38):
was like, you know what Kyle did? You know what
Kyle did in all this? Who's this? He me your hand?
Who's just doing this? Just loving, just loving on opete.
You know what Bet did?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
No, she got, she got she got a hot, hot skillet.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
That's what Beth did. And and who's fault was that
forgetting that mark on her hand?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Mine?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Kyle's. It was Kyle's fault, that's what Beth said. That's
Kyle's fault that you have that mark on your hand.
That's crazy. Yeah, she's how do people think? How do
people get along in life? And thank this way?
Speaker 6 (22:15):
I really I think it's because of the the social politics.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Dude.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
She's like she can't get a boyfriend because like she
saying all this stuff about like, oh well he thinks
you're like like he's not attracted to you, or he's
like he doesn't like how like how big you are.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It's like she's just.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Projecting these thoughts that she has probably in her head
where it's like why does she have a boyfriend? She
looks worse than me, why does she have a boyfriend?
She's heavier than me.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like what whatever?
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Like, so she just can't tolerate it because now she's
she's the yeah, the quote unquote loser in the front room,
which if you're ever thinking of that, it's like, reassess yourself.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah, oh yeah, for sure for suns.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Can all get along? Why are we ranking ourselves? I
got up, paid for my food. I'm left gwynin Stace
don't want to be in the middle, but agree that
Beth was in the wrong and that they are happy
that I found the love of my life and hope
one day things were returned back to normal. I told
them I won't be upset if they hang up with Beth,
but I don't want to be included if she is
(23:15):
with them, and they're fine with that. Beth was my
first friend and someone always looked up to. She held
me as I cried when my first boyfriend left me
a week after I lost my V card to him
because he was dared to date me and to sleep
with me. Let's get down to the real deal here.
Now I'm wavering about wanting to give her another chance.
We have so much history and amazing memories Kyle said
(23:38):
he would support me either way, but he was a
hard no on being around Beth outside of her wedding
if I wanted her there. I'm so torn on what
to do.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Because she was wasted but still said those words and
they cut me to the core. Should I forgive her
or cut her out of my life? Comment one, This
is one of the most crappiest things I've ever read.
Someone who dared call themselves your friend. She's bitter, insecure,
and a jealous person. Yes, jealous. Only jealousy can make
(24:09):
someone do that many things to put someone down. I'm
very sorry for your previous experience with ex boyfriend. If
someone did that to my friend, I'd be covering his
house and tolet paper and put his phone number on notice.
Watch as a judge for Best Chewbacca Voice competition. That's
what friends are for, and they always support you and
(24:30):
protect you. I'm glad she finally showed you who she is.
I bet dollars to donuts. She played a significant part
in keeping you as insecure as possible and fed you
poisoning thoughts about your own worth. Let the trash remove
itself from your life. We got an update?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Oh boy, Yeah, I agree with all that is the time.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's it's time that that person is.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Not your friend.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, not your friend. I just got a text from
Gwen who told me that she and Mike have cut
Beth out of their lives. Mike was furious at Beth
and got pissed a Gwynn for one in Keeper as
a friend. Guenn apologize for even considering Beth as a friend.
So Beth has gone.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Beth has been exiled from the entire friend group Absolute cinema.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Goodbye Beth.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Wow, dude, Well, like they said, the trash takes itself out.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Ten out of ten, five out of five. My friend
cheated on her husband in front of me.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Some people don't like to keep things to themselves.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
So I twenty three female, have a friend Alice, twenty
six female, and then we met about three years ago
and became really close even though we were like so different.
By the way, this comes from user and if you
want to submit your own stories, go to the r
Size show. Okay, storytime subred it.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
So.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
A few months ago, at around twelve pm, Alice called
me while wasted and asked me if I could pick
her up so she could come over to my house
and stay here for the day. I asked her if
she was wasted, which she said no. I could clearly
tell that she was, so I asked again, to which
she said she was a little. I asked her if
(26:13):
everything was okay, and she said she just wanted to
be at my house. I went to pick her up
and she got in the car with a bottle of
wine in her bag and clearly wasted.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
She asked if I could stop.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Somewhere to buy a little bit of the Devil's lettuce
and I said sure. We got to the store and
she bought two. She bought she and she got her materials.
She purchased her materials. I texted her husband saying that
I was with her and I was going to take
care of her. He thanked me and asked to keep
him updated because we really didn't know why she was mad.
When we got to my house, my cousin, twenty four male,
(26:43):
who lives with me, was in the kitchen, and Alice
was super happy to see him, which is normal considering
she's close to my family and gets along with everyone.
We went to my room and she insisted that my
cousin hang out with us again, not out of the ordinary.
I asked her what was wrong, and she went on
saying how mean or her husband is and that she
hasn't had her periods that she was thirteen, because she's
(27:04):
always had period shots for cramp's purposes. But now that
she was planning on switching to an IUD, she had
to wait to get her period. When she did, he
wouldn't understand.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Her and her moodiness.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Ooh okay.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
I told her that PMS, periods and all those feelings
on her were just as new to him as they
were to her, and she should communicate those feelings so
he would know how to act. I say that from
knowing how much he loves, cares and respects her.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
This person has an insight into their relationship. OPI has
an insight yep into Alice's husband's state of mind and.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Is giving Alice some pointers.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah uh okay. She decided to call him.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
She apologized for leaving the house instead of talking and
said she just wanted to stay at my house, but
that she loves him.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
About twenty minutes later, she wanted.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
To shchmirk and you you know I would get into
her supplies, so I said. She could do so if
she wanted, but I'm not letting her take the extra
silly googas while while also consuming the drink, because that's
just a way to a bad trip. She agreed that
I could hide the chocolate bar and would give it
(28:17):
to her when she was sober. Alice asked if we
could go to a trail near my house to do
a little and I said I don't feel like it,
but I would join them anyway. When we got back
to the house, I remembered we had plans with another friend,
Emmett twenty eight male, to go to Subway because.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
We hadn't hung out in a while and we're both broke.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Lol. So I called him and explained what happened and
asked him if he was okay with us going to
pick up the food and eating at my house. He
said that was cool and came over. From the moment
he arrived, Alice was being rude. She kept drinking, and
the more wasted, the more rude to me and Emmett
she got, and the more.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Giggly and whispery with my cousin she got.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
But I just thought they were both just, you know,
a little head in the clouds.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And vibe and how whatever.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Emma and I just decided to go pick up the
sandwiches by ourselves since they were in their whole other vibe.
We got the sandwiches, went back to the house and
decided to watch Adventure Time while eating them. Emma and
I were talking most of the time, and I was
facing the TV slash Emmett while Alice and my cousin
were next to me but not really in my direct
line of sight. Alice kept bringing up politics, sometimes put
(29:26):
a great combo because she knows she and Emmett have
different views. About an hour later, Emmett had to go,
and I walked him to the door and apologized for
Alice's behavior. When I was on my way back to
my room, my cousin stops me and says, Alice kissed him.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Oh what kind of kiss though?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Kiss on cheek, hand, kiss down under?
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Whoa now WHA?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Well, I'll say kiss.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
I was like, WTF, cuz he said how. When Emma
and I left to get the food, she asked him
if he wanted to go upstairs to do his room.
He said he didn't know what to do it first,
and when I got to my room, Alice was passed
out on my bed, even though I had asked her
to shower, because she hadn't showered after the gym and
smelled like the devil's lettuce as well. The next day,
(30:13):
when she woke up, she showered and told me that
her husband wouldn't be picking her up soon. So I
sat down and was like, I have to talk to you.
I asked her if she remembered anything weird from last night.
Her face went red and weird and she said, hmmm, no,
she didn't. So I told her what happened, and she
apologized and said she didn't remember, which obviously she did,
(30:35):
and asked me if we could pretend it never happened.
I got shocked and said sure, if you think that's
what's best. She said she was sure and asked if
I could ask my cousin to do the same, and
said she would apologize later. She left, and that was
what I was shocked by her reaction and I didn't
know what to do. Later I talked to my cousin
again and he told me to ask Emmett if he
(30:56):
saw anything. When I texted Emmitt and asked him about it,
he said he didn't know if he should say something,
and how I didn't notice her being too touchy and
weird to my cousin, and that he seemed uncomfortable, and
that yes, he did see her kissing him again.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
A few days later of no talking to Alice, she
called me and asked to talk.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Hmm.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
She apologized again and again for being rude to me
and Emmett while wasted, and for what happened. I told
her that I think she should tell her husband, and
she said, not gonna happen, and kept saying that I'm
young and don't understand these things. Go are you literally
even though I'm married gor.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
You're literally three years older than her and she has
a healthy marriage. Sounds like Tate also ultimatum, We're we're
hitting her with a hard I'm gonna tell him, or
you're gonna tell him, and I'm gonna be telling him
in two days from now, I and the cousin. I'd
also be having to talk with cousin cousin. Don't you
know you aren't supposed to be doing this with married
one cousin. Cousin cousin keep arms linked away from Mary warning.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
She then went on to tell me that she was
scared because this had already happened with a girlfriend of
hers and that her husband was really mad, but they
decided to move forward as long as she kept healthy
drinking habits. I asked her if she thought he would
hurt her, and she said no, but she was scared
of losing him. Yeah, because you were down talking him
and you made out with some other guy. I explained
(32:22):
that although I understand it was a mistake, I'm one
hundred percent against cheating and lying, and it's just not
something I would do to my husband, so I couldn't
see myself being friends with someone that would do that.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
She kept apologizing and asked me to.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Think about us being friends again, and that she didn't
want to lose our friendship. So I said, I had
a lot on my mind with work and getting my certification,
so I was going to focus on my career and
we could talk when things were less overwhelming. Fast forward
to today, about four months later. She just called me
a few minutes ago, saying how much she misses me
and my kiddies and she hoped we can hang out
(32:57):
soon and apologized again for everything. I said it was okay,
and I was just still focused on work and getting
my certification, which I still am.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Should be getting it in about a month. Is house
plotting again? She lives Opie lives with her cousin. I
feel a plot. Do you really miss the kittens? Do
you really miss hanging out? Or do you really miss
not cousin? And how's your home life? Is your home
life going good? That's what I asked her. How are
you an IMMA doing? That'd be my first question. Did
you ever tell EMMT? Do you ever tell immit? And
(33:29):
how are you an m going right? Now?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
It's a trap, dude, It's a trap. I still don't
know what to do.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
I hate hurting people's feelings, but I just can't see
her in the same way now. Every time I listen
to her voice or see her, all I can think
is her kind, loving husband not knowing what happened in
the possibility of continuing behavior. I also can't forgive her
for hurting my cousin like she did. She knew about
his past, and even though she says she didn't remember,
I just can't believe her. Do I just cut her
(33:57):
off completely? Do I insist on her telling her husband?
Do I believe her she doesn't remember? And try to
keep being friends with her. Do I tell her husband myself?
But I'm disappointed in OP.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I think, OPI you need to tell tell Alice right now,
tell Alice's hus in it. Tell that everything is awesome, man,
right now, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, husband needs to know. And I think she's definitely lying.
She's not.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
She she can she definitely can remember. She can't because
she was she brought up that thing about how she
had a friend where this happened and they ended up
staying together. But like only if it was like promised
that she like improved her drinking habits or whatever. So
she's thinking, Oh, as long as I say that I
don't remember anything that I did, I can get away
with it. And I can like I can still get
(34:44):
CoA stpob. I was wasted, I was tired. I remember
it was like I like, why dud ah, it's not
gonna work.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
It's not gonna work.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
It no go, everything is awesome. Somewhere else comments here
Commander one says, you're not.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I don't reacting.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Do not believe her that she doesn't remember. Uh, please
make sure your cousin is okay. That is very horrible
for him and the friendship with her because of what
she did. Ask your cousin if he wants you to
tell the husband, please be guided by your cousin, as
who knows what Alice might tell him to twist the
story if she feels threatened. The last thing your cousin
needs is drama with your husband about this. And that
(35:23):
is the end of that story.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Sam. Here, we're gonna get back to the stories. But
here's three of it's bads from our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
A friend uninvited me from a trip, and my other
friends didn't defend me.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Hey, those don't sound like your friends.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
So I have a friend group from college and we
all still hang out with these chows as every group
does every few months. My friend, let's call her Ava,
and I hang out almost every weekend. We are very close.
She's also good friends with another group in our friend group,
let's call her Beck. Gu By the way, this comes
from Vizvak, and if you want to spen to your
(35:57):
own stories, go to the our side showcase story. So
I'm so reading. So oh, Becca and I are not
super close, but I always thought we were friendly together.
I know in girl groups it's normal not to be
super close with everyone, and that's okay. I always try
to be your friend and true to the same as
I do the other girls. A few months ago, our
group was at a picnic discussing a group trip. Becca
(36:19):
said her family had a cabin upstate and we should
all go there for a weekend. Everyone agreed and we
all set the date for this past weekend. Everything was great, normal.
These past few weeks, we're all texting in the group
chat about going on this trip and sharing what we
were gonna pack and what movies we're gonna watch. The
night before we were supposed to leave, Becca sends me
(36:40):
a text message essentially saying, Hi, I feel like we're
not close friends. I think you don't like me, and
that's okay. I don't want us to be fake with
each other, so especially that you don't join us this weekend.
I'm shocked. However, I try to be understanding and tell
her I do like you and enjoy our hangouts. It's
just we're not super close, like faked around you. I
(37:01):
totally understand, and the group could go without me. I
did anything to hurt you, I'm sorry and I'm open
to talking about it. Just literally hurt me and I
was in shock, trying to figure out what happened, what
I did wrong. I texted my best friend Eva, who
was attending the girls strip, to let her know I
was unifided. Her first reaction was, Oh, well, you girls
(37:21):
aren't close anyway, so it's whatever.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Oh yeah, there's a second group chat that you're not in.
They're all in it and you're not.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
There's not such thing as a second group chat.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
In this story, one hundred percent.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
If that's how your friend just responded. Oh well, I mean,
I guess you guys aren't really really No one's really
friends anyway, so yeah, I guess it makes sense. There's
another group chat where everyone is like, yeah, we don't
want her to go. I'm sorry, I'm sorry that hurts
a lot, but that sounds like what that is.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
She then said, I hope you don't expect me to
get in the middle of this because I don't think
it's my place and what affect my mental health. I,
of course, trying to be accommodating set everything is okay
and it's okay for her not to get involved. After
a day of crying about this and feeling really awful,
I realized that it was a really crappy thing that
(38:10):
Becca did to me, and I also realized that my
best friend at Ava was not super supportive of me.
I don't expect my best friend to not go on
the trip, but I expect her to acknowledge that Becca
did was really mean and awful. I just wanted her
to support and I was hoping that never leave. The
topic of me comes up during the girls trip, and
(38:30):
she would set up for me and said, Hey, it's
okay for you guys not to be friends, but it's
not okay to exclude someone from a group event at
the very last minute. That felt very corporate the way
she said.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
That, but like it's it's true.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
I feel like I would take almost a corporate approach
to this, Yeah, because it is very like, hey, guys,
you couldn't I mean, like it's truly you could have
just like told me not to go. I don't know,
like not the day before, yeah, maybe a week week before,
or just if you don't want to be my friend,
let's just like don't pretend to be my friend, because
that's like, why are you manipulating me?
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Yeah? Why this is weird. I let even know that
her lack of support was really hurtful to me, and
if she was in my position, I would acknowledge that
our mutual friend did something really awful. I would feel
really bad going on the strip knowing Ava is at
home really hurt. However, she thinks that this conflict is
solely between Becca and I and that she shouldn't get involved.
(39:27):
She said she has an independent friendship with Becca and
that getting involved would make things worse. Do you think
it's wrong, slash too much of me to expect my
best friend to stand up for me when our mutual
friend uninvited me last minute to a group event. I'm
not asking her to pick a side. However, feels like
she is with Becca, essentially bullying me. It's okay that
(39:49):
she wants to be friends with Becca. That's totally acceptable. However,
I do think you should have the courage to stand
up to a friend who's bullying your other friend. Really
appreciate your insights. Thank you. We got an update and
an edit. I don't know they're not friends. Yeah, they're
not your friends.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
There is something true to that that there can be
like people within a group that like, not everyone likes
everyone you know to the same degree. But also it's
like if it was your best friend and she's in
a circle of people that are like just slamming on you,
she would be like, hey, let's stop that.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yep, got an edit. Thank you all for your comments.
I agree in principal friends should stick off for each other,
but that's not always the reality. I'm okay with not
being friends with this group. Friends change a lot in
your twenties. I guess some stay, some go. It is
what it is, and you don't mind a bit. I
spoke to my best friend Ava, and she's pretty set
(40:44):
that she should get in the way and that it's
not her place to say anything. She also is now
saying that she doesn't think I should be upset, considering
Becka and I were never close friends and there were
times I criticized Becka behind her back, so I should
be upset. Maybe she's right I shouldn't speak ill about someone,
but I'm not perfect, and I think there's a difference
(41:06):
between a private criticism and a direct offense that changes
your perspective. Let me know. Edit two. I texted Becca
and let her know that her actions were mean spirited
and unkind, and I'm not okay being friends. I left
our group chat. I spoke to Ava and we agreed
to take some time apart and speak in person about
(41:27):
this next week at a three high all. Here is
the final update. Okay, I spoke to Ava on the phone,
and it seems like we just don't see eye to
eye on this case. She said. She acknowledges I'm hurt,
but ultimately it was Becka's choice. I think this argument
is going in circle, so I decided to put the
issue to rest. I think I'm going valid in my ask.
(41:47):
Ava is just not the person to support me in
that way that I wish. Ave and I are still friends.
I think I'm willing to let this just be an
isolated a moment where we didn't align, and that's okay.
I have other friends who were willing to stand up
for me, and I have now have had a new
new found appreciation for them. AV and I will continue
(42:08):
to be friends, but I will keep this in mind
for the future. And 'LP lied to us. That wasn't
the last update.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
There's another one.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
We got more subverting expectations. That's how you get a
good reaction out of your audience.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Right there.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Update, my best friend a Loo calleds me. It's a
chat a week after the whole uninvited situation happened. We
talked like normal, and then she tells me that she
wanted to tell me the truth about what happened and
why I was uninvited. Here's what she tells me. Basically,
a week and before we were supposed to go to
the cabin for a girls trip, we all went out
(42:44):
for drinks at the bar. There was our entire girl
group and a few other mutual friends. Basically, Becca was
trying to set up Ava with one of the guys
at that event, and turns out all the girls in
the group were upset with me because they thought I
was flirting with him, knowing they were trying to set
him up with Ava. Oh, this is news to me
(43:05):
because I have given this man zero thought. This is
all out of left field. I just started laughing when
Ava told me about this, because what the hef Wow,
so be so so. Beca was trying to be cupid
and it was a little hurt. Opie was just talking, dude,
that's how you played cupid.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
You know who could have possibly guessed that?
Speaker 6 (43:30):
We have another clear cutcase where open and honest and
vulnerable communication would have prevented.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
All of this from happening.
Speaker 6 (43:41):
If someone would to just go, you know what, Op,
I really don't like how you kind of like tried
to overstep Ava when we were at the bar the
other week, and you would be excuse me, what, I
don't even remember that guy's name.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
What are we talking about? I didn't mean.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
This was all misunderstanding. Let's try and talk less, Yuh.
Let me clarify. I was not flirt with him.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
I didn't speak to him at all except for a
few minutes very late into the night. From my perspective,
he was the one asking me about my dating life
and how I feel about men, etc. I had a
similar conversation with the other girls and guys when the
topic came up with them. I was not flirting with
those other girls or guys either. Also, I would never
flirt with a guy knowing my friend likes him. That's
(44:25):
not the top of person I am. I thought my
friends knew that, and I really thought Ava knew that
about me. Anyways, I guess these are the things being
whispered about me, which led to Becca uninviting me completely.
This was not brought up to me before the girl's trip.
A asked if I found that guy attractive, and I
said no. That's basically the only communication about this situation
(44:48):
I'm aware of. Wow, I don't know. I didn't think
I said anything flirtatious to him. I didn't ask him
about his dating life for spicy sleep life. I didn't
touch him in any way, didn't ask for contact or anything.
I was just being friendly. I just wish they'd ask
me about the situation instead of assuming the worst. So yeah,
(45:09):
I'm done. Being friends with these girls. Just feels like
a blatant salute shaming. I'm hurt by Ava, but I
clarify to her that I would never do that, and
I'm sorry if my conversation with them look flirtatious. I
don't want to continue this fight because I have other
priorities in my life. Thanks for your thoughts. I these
aren't really your friends.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Not like it.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
No, it seems like you're the convenient friend whenever they
need more people or numbers. You're just someone they pick up.
They don't really want to have a depth like friendship
with you. Edit one. I just really wanted to say
and appreciate your thoughts. I don't care when Ava told
me about this issue. I specifically told her that I
don't want to be friends with people who assume the
worst of me, and because I don't want to argue,
(45:49):
I just said Ava and I were fine, but I
think you're right that she's not been a good friend
to me and she did let her jealousy get in
between her friendship. Our first conversation was really hostile. Thanks.
She kept telling me that it was not her place
to get involved and that it's between Becka and I.
But actually this does have to do with Ava, and
instead of telling me what was wrong, she just made
(46:10):
me feel bad about being upset that I was excluded.
I think I will kind of distant myself from her
and we could still be friends, but just not as
close as for the other girls in the group. Screw them,
I'm fine never hearing from them again. I have other
friends who have my back. Thanks again, Well guys, friend groups,
good friend groups, Yes, good ones.
Speaker 5 (46:33):
My father wants to move his new family into the
house I inherited.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
That's my house.
Speaker 5 (46:39):
I'm at twenty five mail not from the US. Not
looking to get into legalities. I know where I stand
on that. My father married his now wife when I
was fifteen, She was really pushy with me because the
relationship with her own daughter was almost nonexistent. My father
did nothing, and I ended up moving with my grandpa
father's father a few months later. By the way, this
comes from month ninety one oh seven, and if you
(47:02):
want to submit your own stories, go to the r
slash Okay story time as subreddits. Grandpa passed away suddenly
when I was seventeen, and I inherited all his properties.
Instead of moving back with them, they moved with me
to Grandpa's house. I left when I was eighteen to
go to college, and I go back home a few
times a year. I'd let them stay there renfree as
long as they don't touch my room and Grandpa's office.
(47:23):
The house has four rooms. I got a call from
him telling me that I need to clean my room
because they plan to turn it into a nursery room.
Apparently my father's wife got in touch with his daughter
because she is pregnant and doesn't have a place to stay.
I denied his request and reminded him whose house they
are staying at, and better not touch the rooms unless
they want me to punt them out. I told them
(47:45):
there is an empty room she can stay there, but
he claims it's too small for both of them. I
said that if they have a problem, they can go
back to his own place. There she can take my room.
I don't know if he still has the house. I
think I've been more than reasonable. But my uncle father's brother,
who doesn't have the best relationship with my father, called
me to say to think about it and not punt
(48:06):
them out. So I wonder, am I the a hole?
Their verdict was not the a hole. The day I
wrote the original post, I called missus lawyer to accompany
me to the house to deal with this in a
civil manner. Saturday, we went early in the morning with paperwork.
Once we arrived and I tried to open the door,
I was pleasantly surprised that my father had changed the locks.
Oh buddy, boy, now you've really done it. We talked
(48:29):
through the door and he told me that until I
changed my mind, he wasn't going to let me in.
That's in my own house. That's not how that works.
Now you're a squatter with the lawyer as a witness.
My goodness, funny. I told him that I wasn't planning
to punt them out, and I was there to solve
this the right way, but if he wasn't going to
let me in, I was going to do it my way,
and he didn't let me in. On my way to
(48:50):
the police station, my uncle called me and said that
my father called him in order to make me change
my mind, but he wasn't going to do it and
will support whatever I decided. In the police station, missus
lawyer explained the situation to them and they came with
us so I could evict them without issues. Once we
were there, the police spoke to them and told them
that they had to let me in and get their
things out as soon as possible. I hired a moving
(49:12):
truck for them. My father tried to fight, saying that
he sold his house and doesn't have a place to go,
and he also claimed that he was the rightful owner,
but the dim wit doesn't have any paperwork to prove it.
In a last attempt, he brought up the fact that
my stepsister is pregnant, but unfortunately for them, she is
in the early stages and doesn't matter either way. After
their circus was over, the removal of their things was quick.
(49:33):
Most of the things in the house are mine, except
for the things that they have in their room and
my stepsister's stuff. I'm currently in the house and planned
to stay here the next few days. I've changed the
locks and I'm installing security cameras. I talked to my
girlfriend about moving here and she's more than happy to
do so. I'm going to talk to my boss about
the possibility to work from home. But it's not a
real problem if I can't without having to worry about
(49:55):
the house of figuring out the rest is easy. That's
pretty much it. I think I covered everything. Thank you
for taking your time with this mess. I used to
call family, but guess what, that's not it? Who got
a second update? We're not even halfway through, folks. My
girlfriend found this space and asked me to share our
last encounters with my father, So here it goes. We
(50:16):
hadn't heard from him until a few days ago when
he showed up at the house. I wasn't there, but
girlfriend was. My girlfriend told me that my father was
there to tell us that since we are now living
in the house, we have to host them for Christmas holidays.
Not only that, he gave her a list of the
food that they wanted and the gifts that they expected
to receive. My girlfriend told him to go away before
(50:37):
she called the police. I again thought it was over,
but I was wrong again. Yesterday we received another visit
from them. Apparently he called my mother to invite her
to spend the holidays with us. She blew him off
and told him that she will take us, girlfriend and
I to Europe for New Year's Eve. Wow, he had
the balls to demand that she take them too, and
(50:58):
my mother just hung up up behind you. This was
the first time that they had spoken after divorcing sixteen
years ago. Why does he want to go on this
trip if it's gonna be with this ex wife.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
I don't understand anything about this guy. He's insane. Like,
I just think it would be a great time for
us to reconnect and also for you to give me
keys to the house.
Speaker 5 (51:19):
Yeah. What he came to the house to demand that
I convince my mother to take them too, or that
we pay for them to go with us.
Speaker 4 (51:27):
Well, I don't understand what he is how he's demanding this? Yeah,
Like where is his leverette? At this point, his attitude
stopped being disappointing and turned comical. My girlfriend and I
just laughed at him, and we laughed so hard that
we didn't notice when he left.
Speaker 5 (51:41):
I can say that we didn't have the best relationship,
but he wasn't entitled. I mean, it was already clear
why my grandfather, his father, was completely disappointed in him.
But it seems that he wants to take it to
another new level. I don't know if he will stop,
but I hope that he does for the rest of
the year, and there is an edit.
Speaker 3 (51:59):
I have a system.
Speaker 5 (52:00):
There are cameras everywhere. I know if he is there.
I also have other properties, my tenants and people close
to a girlfriend and me. Even my neighbors know what
to do if my father approaches them in my name.
I doubt he will try to break in when we're
not here. When I evicted them, and my lawyer and
the police were more than clear that he could face
serious problems if he tries to enter the house or
(52:22):
any other of my properties. Unfortunately, in my country, any
kind of restraining order is pretty much useless. It is
more helpful to call the police right then and there,
and he knows I have no problem calling them. There
are some relevant comments, but I want to hear yours, Sophia.
It's such a silly situation.
Speaker 4 (52:37):
I don't even know what you do, Like, you can't
with these people. Yeah, you just have to keep going
through like legal processes them.
Speaker 5 (52:43):
Yeah. Yeah, and it seems like, oh he's doing that yeah,
which is good.
Speaker 1 (52:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (52:47):
And oh, p's at a good place where you can
just laugh about it now. He's just like I have
a house, you guys don't. Yeah, I'm going on a
trip with my mom.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (52:55):
When asked if his father is just broken, Opie says,
I agree that he has broken, but I can say
that he is by his own hand and not by
pressure of any kind. He knows what he is doing.
I was basically raised by his parents, and they didn't
raise me any different than him or my uncle, who
is another case. It baffles me that they turned this way.
My grandparents raised us to be decent people, and they
(53:17):
decided not to be. It is so bad that my
grandparents passed away without speaking to any of them.
Speaker 3 (53:22):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (53:23):
I grew up watching him make one mistake after another,
no ownership or attempt to be better. My grandparents tried
to help him, but he refused and said that he
was living his life the way he wanted. How can
you help someone when he thinks he is right. My
grandfather used to say that my father is weak, and
I agree because I have no argument to say otherwise.
I never expected to get anything from my grandparents. I'm
(53:44):
grateful for what they left me, and I still would
be if they left me nothing, because they did more
than what they should. I already knew that I will
not get anything from my father, financially or emotionally. The
same with my mother. Our relationships are superficial. It has
been like this since I was a kid. But I
won't worry if she ever stops and leaves me nothing.
It is her right, and the same with my father.
(54:04):
In the end, I take what I'm given, and I
can agree with you that I am also entitled. So
update number three a little family mess and my father
strikes again. But now he got more than he asked for.
Two and a half months after my last post, after
the last incident with my father, everything was quiet and
my girlfriend and I left to Europe. Christmas passed and
(54:24):
there was no side of my father. My friends that
were taking care of the house reported no incidents. Everything
was going well until I received a call from my
uncle father's brother on December twenty eighth, my uncle called
me to tell me that he's leaving the state and
is selling his house. He asked me if I was
interested in the house, because he was pretty desperate to leave.
He didn't tell me the reason why he was leaving,
and I didn't care. What matters to me is that
(54:46):
he was desperate and this was the opportunity to fulfill
my grandpa's wish. Or I continue, I have to give
you some context. My uncle's house was my grandfather's childhood home.
My grandpa gave it to him, but later regretted it.
He left me the task of recovering it, and if
I succeeded to give it to my cousin Marie, my
uncle's daughter from his first marriage, he never recognized her,
(55:08):
and that is one of the many reasons of my
grandpa's regrets. My uncle doesn't know that I have contact
with his daughter, or that I know everything that happened
in the past. If he did, he wouldn't sell me
the house. Yes, he is that petty.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
Now.
Speaker 5 (55:21):
I decided to use the family card and my uncle's
desperation to get the house cheap. I know more or
less the value of the house, so I made him
an offer way below the real value, but that I
was going to pay him in three installments. My uncle
declined because it was too low and because he is
not coming back. What he really meant is that he
is not going to contact me again. I told him
(55:43):
that if he could wait until my return January third,
I could pay him the same amount in one go,
but I would also take care of the legal fees
and his moving expenses. Meanwhile, he just needed to pack
his things, have his paperwork ready, and everything would be
done that day. Prizingly, he immediately agreed. We returned and
I could buy the house without problems, and my uncle
(56:03):
left the same day. The next day, I called my
cousin to tell her to come as soon as she
can to my country. She lives in Europe, because there
is one more thing that my grandparents left to her.
She came a few days ago and I gave her
the house and the rest of the money. Whoa, he
gave her the other house. Yeah, yeah, like the uncle's house.
She had to say a few days to deal with paperwork,
(56:24):
and in those days who decided to appear once again?
You guessed it, my father. Unbeknownst to me, my uncle
had another buyer, and that person was my father. My
father asked my uncle to wait a few days so
he could gather more money. When he got it, he
called my uncle, but he already sold me the house.
My uncle, in order to avoid dealing with my father,
(56:45):
told him that I bought the house. My father, knowing
that he can no longer approach my house, he decided
to go to my new one, but he was going
to receive a surprise. He knocked and demanded that I'd
give it to him, but no one is in there
for the moment, so he decided.
Speaker 1 (57:01):
To break in.
Speaker 5 (57:02):
We saw everything through the doorbell camera. My cousin doesn't
speak our language, so I was the one who called
the police in her name. Thanks to the area where
the house is and the fact that my cousin is
a foreigner, the police took action faster than the previous times.
It is a pity that I don't have a photo
of my father's face when he discovered that the house
wasn't mine. It was glorious. My cousin, with my lawyer's
(57:24):
help and mine, pressed charges and combined with my father's
previous actions, he will spend a few months in jail.
Oh oh, my gosh. Thanks to a few people, I
was able to find out why my uncle was desperate
to leave. He pissed off his wife's family like really bad.
I sent him a text telling him that if he
likes to rap me out to my father, I can
(57:45):
do the same with his wife's family. So he better
not come back unless he wants to play stupid games
and he blocks me after that. He already told me
that he wasn't coming back, but I better make sure
that he doesn't. In the end, if my cousin decides
to keep the house, this will benefit her since she
doesn't want to cross paths with my uncle. So yeah,
the year started off with a bang. I pretty much
got rid of my so called family for what I
(58:07):
think is forever and can finally start building one with
my girlfriend without the worry of unwanted people showing up.
There are some relevant comments to wrap this up. Accomplished
Keys seven thirty nine says, what did the uncle do
tips up the wife? Assuming OPI said he got wasted
on Christmas and ended up fighting with his brother in
law and his nephew, which is the brother in law's son.
And if that wasn't enough, he also got violent with
(58:29):
his stepdaughter who was trying to calm him down. Stop
all of this in front of his wife's entire family. Accomplished,
Key says, just curious. Was he charged or arrested? Opie
says none of that, which is why he was in
a hurry to leave. Dang, that's the end of that story.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Hey y'all, it's John Ogi host here. We're gonna get
back to the story. So but here's a quick three
minute break from as for more sponsors.
Speaker 4 (58:53):
I told my mother to stop updating my kid's father,
but she won't listen.
Speaker 5 (58:57):
Stop talking to them, please.
Speaker 4 (59:00):
I have a beautiful four year old boy whose father
we're going to call David is not in the picture
after I made the decision of cutting him out of
our lives after he got a girlfriend and stopped asking
about our son. By the way, this comes from Serious
Entry seven five seven four and if you want to
submit your own stories, go to the r slash Okay storytime.
Separate it some context. I used to live in Hispanic
(59:20):
Country where I met David. We dated for about a year,
broke up, but continued to hook up until August twenty twenty,
when the VID hit and I decided to move back
to the States. When I moved back, I was unaware
I was pregnant. Fast forward, I find out I'm having
a boy and I make it public on social media.
David text me and asks why he was not made
aware of my pregnancy and asks that we get back
(59:42):
together and for me to move back to the country
so he can be involved in my baby's life. We
had a conversation and we both agreed it's in my
son's best interests if he is born in the States
and he can be involved in my son's life through
FaceTime and phone calls. I also made him aware that
if he was going to be in my son's life,
it was going to be twenty four seve Heaven, not
whenever he wanted to. David and I grew up with
(01:00:03):
divorced parents and a very absent father, so naturally we
didn't want our son to go through the same experiences
we had with our father. Fast forward to twenty twenty two.
David was very involved in my son's life. We kept
things civil. We both started relationships. I met my husband
and he met his now partner who he has another kid.
A few months into David's new relationship, I noticed he
(01:00:24):
started to call and text.
Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
A little bit less.
Speaker 4 (01:00:26):
Naturally, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought,
maybe he's busy working or just has some family stuff
going on, no big deal. Used to call about four
to five times a week, text almost every day asking
how our son was. Then he began to text three
maybe four times a week and would call two times
at the most during the week. One day, I decided
to ask if everything was okay, and he made me
aware that his girlfriend was not too happy with the
(01:00:49):
fact that he had a son, so they broke things off.
He then explained to where that our son was living
the States and he didn't see him physically, but he
did call and text. She immediately became okay with that.
Continued the relationship that for me was a red flag. Yeah,
I'm sorry, he has a son. You have to get
over that. If you can't, you have to leave.
Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
Yeah, like unless she was doing math and she was like,
so the beginning of this pregnancy was while we were dating. Yeah,
that would be a problem. But yeah, if he just
has a son, then it's like, girl, calm down. Son
doesn't just leave.
Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
Yeah, it doesn't just disappear exactly like, if that's just
not what you want in your lifestyle right now, I'm sure,
but don't get mad about it.
Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
I get mad about it, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
But I was not going to intervene in a relationship
that was not mine. He said everything was okay, and
he began to call and text a little bit more.
My son was around two years old at this time,
so he knew about his biodad, but began to call
my husband dad also. By the time August of twenty
twenty two, hits, David was calling two to three times
per month. I had a conversation with David about him
(01:01:47):
not being there and only calling whenever he wanted to.
He then explained that his girlfriend wasn't a big fan
of him calling me to communicate with our son, so
to please her, he began to call less and less.
Eventually I was not hearing from day David for months
at a time, and my son began to call and
interact with my husband as if he were his dad.
By then, my son had forgotten David's name and stopped
(01:02:08):
asking and mentioning him. My husband and I had a
talk and decided it would be for my son's well
being if he did not know about David until he
was at that age where he would understand the situation. Okay,
now to the title. Fast forward to twenty twenty five.
David is no longer in our lives. He lives in
an area remotely close to where my mother lives in
this Hispanic country, so they frequently bump into each other.
(01:02:31):
My mom constantly brings up this topic or David's name
in front of my husband and keeps insinuating David is
my son's only dad. She would send David and his
mom pictures of my son, milestone updates, et cetera. I've
asked her many times not to do so because it
is disrespectful to my husband and son and to me.
He always plays that he has the right to know
(01:02:53):
and I'm only trying to look out for my son's
best interests at his young age. She has also expressed
many times that David has been very regretful for not
communicating with his son and he would like to make
it up to him. My mom has asked that I
give my son the opportunity to meet David after all
these years. I expressed to her that I don't think
it's convenient time to tell my son about David because
(01:03:13):
he sees my husband as his dad, and I don't
want to confuse an innocent three year old just because
David decided to please his partner and leave our son
with an absent father. My mom is David's number and
his mom's number, and they constantly text back and forth
about how my son is doing. My mom hid this
from me until recently asked her to stop, Otherwise I
would stop answering her calls and she would not hear
(01:03:34):
from us. Obviously, she did not follow my requests, and
I spent over six weeks without picking up phone calls
from her. I received many calls and threats from her,
but I ignored all of them.
Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
I stood my ground.
Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
My husband has stepped up in so many ways being
a true father figure for a son, and my son
absolutely adores him. I don't believe it's fair to him
to constantly have David's name rubbed in his face and
to be told he is my son's only father when
my husband has been there since my son was eighteen
months old and has never left his side no matter what.
So my question is what do I do at this point?
(01:04:08):
Should I cut off all communication with my mom for
not respecting my decision, or should I give in and
give David a chance to talk to her son. I'm
sorry it's such a long post, but details were needed
for this to make sense and edits. I decided not
to move back to the country where my mom and
David lived because of the economic situation, and to be honest,
I could financially support my child better in the States
(01:04:29):
on my own than in that country with David's help.
He also wanted to get back together and that was
not gonna happen at all. For those of you saying
I'm keeping my child from his father, I made a
decision for me and my son's best interest. My husband
has decided not to intervene because, like I said, it's
for my son and I's best interest at the moment.
In the last two years, David has reached out max
(01:04:49):
five times directly to me. The times he has reached out,
it has been hey, how's the kid. I reply, he's good,
he did such and such today, and that's it, and
then I don't hear from him from another six months.
So forgive me for trying to avoid causing my child
to feel unwanted or uncared for by someone who is
said to be his father when he only remembers he
(01:05:10):
has a kid every few months. The only reason David
and his mom texts call communicate with my mother is
because he knows dang well that if he tried to
reach out to me. He knows he will not get
a response for me because I'm the bad one who
doesn't let him communicate with this child. When this whole
time he has tried to reach out, like I said,
a good five times in two years, he knows my
(01:05:31):
mom will insist and insist until I give it. There's
a little bit more of the story. Like I said
in the post, I grew up with an absent dad
who couldn't keep a job, had two more kids after
my siblings and I, and who was in and out
of our lives whenever he felt he needed to give
us love and to this day reaches out every once
in a while asking for money. Personally, I decided to
not have communication with my dad for my own mental health.
(01:05:53):
So forgive me for trying to save my children, my
child from the trauma daddy issues and not feeling loved
or wanted from a parent who descid it's to be
in and out of his life. The only thing I'll
say to that comment, I do think in part, you're right,
you had a choice in not wanting to have a
relationship with your dad. So I do think just when
your child's old enough, providing them that same choice.
Speaker 5 (01:06:11):
Yeah, if I.
Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Have the opportunity to give my son a father figure
who will actually love and care for him, so be it.
I don't care if he is his biodad or not.
When my son is old enough to understand, he will
know the truth.
Speaker 6 (01:06:23):
That is it.
Speaker 5 (01:06:25):
Yeah, that's that's complicated because because that question originally like
was you know, am I a whole if I like,
don't let David contact the kid? Right? So I don't know.
I mean like I wonder if she can have like
a tougher conversation with him. Be like, hey, you said
you wanted to be more active, but your activity is
like a couple of times every couple of years. It
doesn't exist. Yeah, So it's like you, what that means
(01:06:47):
to me is that you're calling this amount of times.
So if you don't want to call this amount of times,
then we're going to give you another title and we're
going to explain your behavior a different way.
Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
No, I think just like having that conversation with him again,
only because he is still like he's not a dad
in like how much effort he's putting in, for sure,
but he is, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:07:07):
Purely biological biologically dad.
Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
I want to move in with my boyfriend, but my
mom can't stand him. Mother knows best. I twenty three female,
and my boyfriend twenty five male, and I have been
together for three years. We met online and clicked right away.
He's genuinely one of the kindest, most hard working people
I know. I just graduated with a degree in graphic
design and have been living at home to save money
during school. By the way, this comes from Macaroon top
(01:07:31):
of forty fifteen and if you want to submit your
own stories, go to the r slash Okase storytime Separate It.
The tough part is my mom has hated him from
the start. She used to let him come over, but
now he's not even allowed on our property. When I
used to borrow my parents' car, they gave me strict
rules about when I could see him. Even after getting
my own car, they constantly tried to guilt me about
where I went and tracked my location through my phone
(01:07:52):
it's been really emotionally exhausting. My mom constantly insults him
and even talks badly about me for staying with him.
She calls him white trash and says and he won't
amount to anything. The truth is he's worked his butt off.
He left a high paying job to go to trade school,
just got his journeyman license, and is planning to get
his degree in electrical engineering. He's not perfect, but he's
doing everything he can to build a better future. My
(01:08:14):
mom has even tried to bribe me to break up
with him, offering things like vacations or a new motorcycle,
but only if I'm single. Like, you can have it,
you have it if you're breaking up with the apartment right,
and now my dad, who I think actually likes him,
it just goes along with it to avoid drama. The
final straw was recently when I found out that they
put a hidden camera inside the house while they were
(01:08:36):
on vacation without telling me.
Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Is that illegal that illegals?
Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
Not our own house, their own house.
Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Oh it's their own house.
Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
Yeah, he's just living with her parents. It wasn't for
the dogs.
Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
It felt like a huge breach of trust and it
really hurts. The thing is my friends, coworkers, and extended
family all like him. He's not the problem. The problem
is this constant pressure at home. We just toured some
apartments and applied for one. We left the move and
date is in two weeks. I have a solid, full
time job in my own car. I'm fully ready for this,
but now that it's real, I'm freaking out about telling
(01:09:08):
my parents. They have no idea I'm doing this, and
I know it's going to blow up when I tell them.
Am I the a hole? And there is an edit.
I'm just worried about telling her because she has a
history of lashing out verbally when I don't do exactly
what she wants. She also has a history with regular
booze use. She quit for a while, but now it's
slowly seeping back in. There are some comments coming. Number
(01:09:29):
one says personally, I would move out all my important
stuff before telling them. I did not mean your clothes
or furniture, but the things that could not easily be
replaced documentations such as birth certificate, passport, laptop, any truly
meaningful trinkets inherited jewelry, for example. Once that is out,
I would tell them as I was carrying a big
bag of all my clothes out of the house. Someone responds,
(01:09:49):
also secretly get a new phone, gradually shift the context
that you want to keep the new one the day
you leave factory, reset the old one and leave it
on mom's table. Best of luck to you and fly free.
Not the a whole. Comment over two says, sounds like
Mama has a really really bad case of empty nest
syndrome and doesn't want to let go She he's beginning
to realize you're grown up, and she doesn't want to
(01:10:10):
let go of you. If you have a stable job,
move the heck out. Boyfriend sounds like a good man,
but don't depend on him. Every woman needs her own.
Comment over three says, not the a whole. You are
of age, can't support yourself. You can do what you want.
Have your parents acted this way with other boyfriends? Is
there a possibility that they see something that the others
do not? Oh, he says, She's always had issues with
(01:10:31):
every boyfriend I've had. There's only one that she liked,
and he ended up being the worst of them all.
She's just progressively gotten worse with her feelings and how
she treats me no matter who I date. But we
do have an update. We signed our lease yesterday and
are paying our deposit and first month's rent today. I
went home and told my parents what was happening, and
of course I couldn't help but cry because I knew
(01:10:52):
that they would freak out. Of course, they freaked out.
I told them I was moving out and they asked
if it was with my boyfriend, and I said yes.
My dad said that he was disappointed, and then my
mom ran downstairs and made herself throw up for dramatic effect.
He then proceeded to ask questions like when are you leaving,
how much is it, et cetera. I answered their questions,
and then we started into that I lied and deceived them.
(01:11:15):
I didn't know I was doing this until last Saturday,
and how I was being sneaky because I knew that
I was doing it wrong. I was told that I
was stupid for choosing to live with him and wrap
myself up with him, and that I gave this zero thought.
But I've been thinking about this for a couple of years,
planning for about three I have run so many spreadsheets
to make sure that it was a financially sound decision.
(01:11:36):
And plan for the unexpected. Boyfriend and I have been
together for three years, so really, no worry about us
not getting along or anything. We have the maturity to
deal with things in a civil manner if things didn't
work out. My parents continued to pester me about how
much they don't like him, and that they wish that
I would have come to them for help. I told
them I wasn't comfortable with that because they likely would
have tried to change my mind or alter my decision.
(01:11:57):
They tried to pry my boyfriend's financial information out of me,
like his credit score, and I told them that it
was none of their business and that even my financials
are none of their business. They also talked about the
fact that he should try harder to earn their respect
and a relationship with them, in which I replied, it's
a little difficult considering you won't allow him anywhere around you.
They replied, well, he could work on improving his finances
(01:12:19):
and living situation to earn our respect. He's literally they're moving.
He's doing that. They're literally improving their living situation. He's
saying that I can afford an apartment. Yeah, I don't understand.
That's actively happening right now. I said, we are not
here to impress you or make you happy. Of course
this upset them. We're like, what what do you mean
You're not here to impress that. What do you mean?
Come on, dance monkey. They tried to tell me that
(01:12:42):
I have three days to rescind the property. This isn't true.
That's only if you buy a property or a car.
They also told me that if they'd been involved in
the decision making process, they would have helped pay my
rent and bought me furniture. And I said I didn't
want that. No, they would have helped pay rent if
you were single. Yeah, exactly, And then even if they
actually did pay rent for the situation, they would like
(01:13:04):
use that as reason to have say in other things.
Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
I was also told that I have no ambition, but
I just graduated college with my bachelor's degree, started my
own graphic design business, and worked a full time job
that pays well, and I bought my own car last summer.
My dad also told me that I was bound to
fail several times in life and that this may be
one of those times. What a lovely thing to say
to someone as they go out in the world. After
(01:13:28):
about two hours of arguing and putting me down, my
mother insisted that my dad drive her to the liquor store.
He refused. At least good the dad is slightly sensible. Yeah.
She tried three more times until he finally gave in Okay, no,
never mind. Fast forward to this morning. My dad says
to me as I sit down for breakfast, I'm sitting
at the dining table and he is at the kitchen counter.
(01:13:49):
This is our common seating. No one sits at the
table with me. The discussion about this apartment isn't over,
so I ask what he wants to talk about. He
proceeds to tell me that I am jeopardizing their finances
because he is a a co borrower on my motorcycle,
and that I won't be paying for the horse anymore.
We split expensive. He told me I had thirty days
to refinance and get my motorcycle out of his name,
(01:14:10):
or I have to sell it. I told them that
they could give the horse back to her owner, as
the old owner already said that they'd love to have
her back if the opportunity ever arises. So either this
is a literal horse or this is just like a
metaphor for a moment. I think this is a horse.
I think he has a motorcycle and a horse. That's wild. Yeah.
The issue with them saying that it puts them in
a financial situation is that they just bought a thousand
(01:14:32):
dollars car and are spending thousands of dollars on vacation
this year. Money is not an issue. They then proceeded
to tell me how I think they're such terrible parents
and how stupid I am for making this decision. They
try to tell me that if I can somehow get
out of this lease, they'll help me pick out another
apartment with their help and money. I said I didn't
want any strings attached to them, So then they start
(01:14:53):
arguing more about that I have given this no thoughts
and that I act like I'm sixteen. I left for
work before even eating breakfast because I was sick of
the treatment I was getting. So now I am stressing
about trying to get my motorcycle refinanced. I'm worried about
being denied and then having to sell it. I know
the horse will be in a loving home with her
old owners. I only have a few days left in
(01:15:15):
their house, but I worry about going home now that
I'll be astirred. Probably. Yeah, there are some comments how
My number one says, have your parents ever given a
legitimate reason for not liking your boyfriend? Opie says, their
biggest gripe is that he comes from a lower class family.
People are rich, Yeah, they're rich rich. He has already
(01:15:35):
far surpassed anything his family has done in life. They
say he's a one upper whenever he talks. But this
is not true. All of my friends and other family
like him. And that is the end of that story. Dang,
wait what Yeah, you just got to move out. Your
parents are going to hold you down if you stay there. Yeah,
and if you even if you take any of their money.
It's not a free lunch. No, But that is the
(01:15:56):
end of that story. Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:15:58):
Wow, good luck Opie, and with your horse. I hope
it returns to a loving owner. Say a very nice
goodbye to your horse. That's the end of the story
and the end of the episode. Would you look at that? So,
