Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Cowboy Sam, and this is ye how John,
and we've last owed in some amazing stories for y'all
the Okay Storytime podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
But before that we got to wrangle a quick little
two minute out break from those bucking sponsors. We bucking
love so much either paid us the bucks to help
this show stay alive.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
My friend claims she had an affair with my boyfriend,
but her proof.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Makes no sense.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's just a bunch of pudding, Jack the pudding. I
will try to explain the situation the best I can,
even though I myself am really confused. So all started
a few months ago when my best friend Kim started
questioning the liberty when like trust, I give the mic.
I don't make an issue of things that would normally

(00:44):
be inappropriate for some people. By the way, this comes
from Mike and Vick. Even if you want to spit
your own stories, please go to our such Okay Storytime subrending.
So I trust Mike's character and believe he will make
the right choices. I also know I'm the jealous type,
so it is better to just let it go for
me and trust I would rather I would rather he's

(01:04):
straysed than behave himself because I am watching solely. However,
Kim kept trying to imply that he could be cheating
on me, and that I would have no idea her
ex cheated on her. It was high school, though, so
I guess she tends to be suspicious. Now why my boyfriend.

(01:25):
I thought it was because she was looking out for me.
She's also friends with him, so surely she knows he
is not that type.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I know anyone could cheat, but let's agree that some
people are really less likely to. Mike and I have
been together for three years. He is my first and
I love him very much. He is both a lover
and a friend to me, and our relationship is a
source of happiness to me and him too. Normally, Mike
has never given me a reason to doubt him, never

(01:54):
lied about serious things, just insignificant things, like saying he's
arriving soon at my house when he's really just finishing
up showering. Basically, the idea of him cheating is foreign
to me. We had strong and clear boundaries in place.
I would be mind f if he knew the type
of person he is, But then again, most betrayed thoughts

(02:14):
like me. Anyways, Kim had been bringing it up on
and off for the last few months, and a few
weeks ago, when she came over to stay, she dropped
the bomb on me that supposedly Mike was cheating with her.
Suspicious at first, I felt really numb. I cried, I
scream operated her and drove to Mike's house at two

(02:35):
o'clock in the morning. She had shown me texts on
WhatsApp with his name, and it was very legally cheating.
They had been together for six months. He would meet
her on Mondays to have lunch. When he told me
he usually has lunch with his parents, they apparently snuck
out on New Year's Eve to fool around. I did

(02:55):
lose sight of both of them at one point at
that party, but found him with his friends later. I
confronted him in this hysterical state, and he just looked confused.
He kept denying until the end. When I left, he
was still denying everything. I don't use WhatsApp, but he
used to. However, because of family problems basically group chat issues,
it seems he deleted it two months ago, so he

(03:17):
had no way of proving to me he didn't cheat
unless calling his parents to confirm, but at that point,
judging from his reaction, I already believed he didn't cheat.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't know, dude, that sounds like you're coping to me, Yeah,
I don't want the truth, because that's how you'd if
you talk to his parents and you're like, so, if
you've been having lunch with Mike every Monday and they
go no, then you know that that's true.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
But I also couldn't believe Kim would lie. She has
been my best friend for years. She always had my back.
I would have trusted her with my life. That night
we called her. She had left shortly after her confession,
in which she cried like a real culprit, and Mike
confronted her, but she kept to her story. She told
him to admit it, that she couldn't continue anymore, couldn't

(04:04):
do this to me, et cetera. They just kept arguing,
and I asked her if she ever slept at her
place at one point, and she said he did on
a date where he was supposed to go meet his
friends in a neighboring city four months ago. But turns
out that weekend in question, he was indeed supposed to go,
but chose to stay with me as I was having

(04:25):
some issues.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh Kim's a liar, Oh Kim's being somehow Kim is
tapped into their schedule. Yeah, and like like has their
Google calendar that.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
We spent that weekend together. And I really don't think
he snuck out of the house at night. I also
slept while holding him tightly, and I would have felt
if he had moved.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
She's like, yeah, I was. I had the master locks
on that guy. I was wrapped up, so her story
didn't check out. I told her that, and she says
she must have confused the dates. Apart from the t
she still has no other proof.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Hmmmm mm.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now that's super suspicious, super suspicious to be.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh, I guess I mixed up the dates.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Uh convenient that you picked the date that he was
supposed to be completely out of town and you could
have said he did whatever, but instead he wasn't he
was with me.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
She seems really hurt that I wouldn't trust her, But
there's a big hole in hers well. Except from the
WhatsApp being deleted, there is nothing else that is suspicious
for him. It's text with her or normal basic comrade stuff.
And have been for a month. I can't go further
up on his phone to retrieve tax. They're not deleted.

(05:38):
It's just like that for some reason.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Hey, Combred, what are you eating for lunch today? I'm
having standard gurul Eh, yes, thank you very much. Now
Kim and I don't speak to each other anymore. Mike
is beyond furious at her, and I am confused. I
believe my boyfriend, but I just can't wrap my head
around the idea that Kim would lie to me like that,
and for what She is good friends with Mike too,

(06:01):
It's not as if she just liked him. A small
part of me wonders if I did not clear the
wrong person, but really, Mike would have to win an
oscar if he can feign innocence so well.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I know.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
My last option is for him to get his mom
to confront him. But at this point I wonder if
I am. I wonder if it is really necessary to
drag her in our problems. There are his friends too,
but as much as I trust Mike, if he really
did cheat, those guys would protect him and lie until
the very end.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay, well, at least so he's smart enough to know
that the homies will have his back. Even if he
is being nefarious in some cases, but uh, get the
mom involved.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
What are you talking about? I don't understand this.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
It would be the final nail in the coffin of like, yeah,
I literally talked to his parents and they're like, yeah,
we're having lunch with him on Mondays. Yeah, you know
what I mean? Like, I just go ahead and confirm
that part. Literally all you need to confirm. You don't
even need to make it a big deal.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I could also contact Kim and verify it's his number
listed on WhatsApp, but I don't think Mike would appreciate
it after the scene I caused that night. Also, she
could change it right back to his name. He's more
concerned and understanding than mad. But that's because Kim was
my best friend and he could see how I could
take her words for the truth. But would someone really

(07:17):
invent months of conversation just to break up a relationship? Yes,
what was she doing texting herself? Am I right to
believe him? Aren't being blinded by him? Am I being
blinded by my feelings? I know there isn't a clear question,
but in this situation, what is the next step for me?
Get some more facts? Get your investigating eyes on this.

(07:40):
Get your girlfriends evolved at their board, figure out who
to believe, who not to believe. Just check some more
boxes before you D'm putting Kim on last.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm not getting any more facts from anybody. I think
if you're talking to your boyfriend is like you've got
enough acts and it's like on.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
The final thing is that you need to figure out how.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
She got hooked into your schedules because she somehow knows
or knew when he was gone when he would have
been gone. Uh So I don't know what how she
did that. It's common for people who are like besties
or whatever. It's like, I wouldn't say common, but it's definitely.
I've heard it before, where you know, someone who's like

(08:21):
one of your closest friends is like scheme in against
you and your partner.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I kind of had a similar situation.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
It wasn't really like a cheating situation, but it was
like a somebody was like low key trying to like
plant little seeds to break us up and stuff, and
it's like, why we're all friends, why would you why
would you do that? And it's just because you know,
I want to spend more time with you, or I
want this person, or like there's different reasons, but that
proximity can create hostility sometimes.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
So I'm updating so I can leave this story behind
and move on. After reading all the answers, I just
decided to verify if he really does have lunch with
his parents on Mondays and doing almost everything proposed. This morning,
I called his mom to ask if I could join
them today and she was assualted. I didn't tell him
I was coming, and he was really happy to see me. There.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh a nice.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
We had lunch at his parents' house, which is where
they usually eat, and in the end I managed to
verify without going behind his back and alerting his parents.
At one point during lunch, I said, it's awesome how
you guys do this every Monday as a tradition or
something like that, and his mom kept going on about
how it was a way for them to catch up
with each other, they him and his siblings are all

(09:33):
so busy all the time, and to share some fun
family time. She laminated the fact that his older sister
often couldn't make it to her lunch because of her
unpredictable schedule. I got to I got invited to join
the tradition, but declined since this is their time to
be with their son and I don't want to intrude
on that. Honestly, it felt really comfortable and I felt

(09:56):
like a part of this family, so I had a
great time. Mike and Dee does have lunch with them
every Monday, so we went there. We saw we're good.
We decided to clear his name once and for all
this afternoon, and he downloaded WhatsApp again on his phone.
The last messages he exchanged with her were from three
months ago. Maybe someone got deleted automatically. They barely communicated
through WhatsApp. I did not see any holes in the conversation,

(10:20):
and most were about me, like have you seen my convict?
She's not answering her phone stuff like that. On her phone.
There was a profile picture when she showed me the text,
but his was blank, and he said he never put
one there, which is weird, but that's his timee. She
tends to contact him first, but she just does that
to everyone anyway, So there was nothing flirty, just hello, okay.

(10:45):
When we were finished, he asked me if I was
feeling a lot better now and just to come to
him if I have any other doubts, and guys, if
you have any doubts in life, here's how you solve
that one.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Go to your favorite.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Podcast platform Spotify and Apple podcast whatever to search up okay,
story time and three. All of your downs will go
away the second you press play one of your favorite podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, no doubts for twelve hundred plus hours.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
That's right?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is that as long as one piece? That's as long
as my piece?

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Oh whoa, Okay, this is good.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I think.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
The reluctance to immediately involve the people who could undeniably
tell you whether or not your friend was full of
crap basically mm hmmm, don't do that. I guess the
dynamic with parents can be hard. It's like if you
come to that and they're like, oh, what do not
trust my son and blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
It could. It could theoretically you start like another different issue.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, you know, you can do it a little. You
can figure out to do a little low key. You
don't need to be like, I need to know if
Mike's cheating on me? Is he eating dinner with your
lunch with you every Monday?

Speaker 3 (11:52):
It was pretty slick on this one. Not gonna lie.
This one was pretty slick. This afternoon, he reminded me
why I'm so attached to him with this care. He
didn't get the anytime. He just left me with his
phone as I was still searching, tried to GPS thing,
nothing came out of it. When he went to buy
some cake with his mom, he teased about putting a
key lodger on his phone. I feel really shut and
hope Kim will stay away from us now. A part

(12:15):
of me wonders why she did this, invent this whole story,
But I would rather keep this question unanswered than to
bring drama into my relationship again. Kim, what's up?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
What's up? What happened?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Why don't you make it up?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Stuff? How long? How long had that been going on?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean, I think that the consensus is he was
either jealous of the guy or jealous of their relationship.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Also, everyone was twenty three in the story.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
That kind of makes more sense too. It's just like
really young, petty jealousy.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I accidentally exposed my best friend's secret to my family
because he left me stranded.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
That seems like an overreaction.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Were you stranded on an island?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Were you stranded at a place that you could get transportation?

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Were you straight and ended in space? Let's find out.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
So my best friend, let's call him John, twenty three
years old and I female, twenty two years old, have
been friends for eight years. He has been around my
family and has joined in a lot of my family
functions and vice versa. By the way, this comes from
user old Engineering fifty six sixty six and if you
want to submit your own stories, go to the r
slash okay storytime subreddit. So he came out to me

(13:25):
during our sophomore year in college. I knew he was
attracted to the same gender, but was waiting for him
to come out. John was very secretive about coming out
and only a few people know that he is attracted
to the same gender. Once we graduated college, John started
talking to this one guy on Tinder and eventually they
started long distance dating. He ended up telling his family

(13:48):
once things were official. By the way, this was John's
first time dating anyone.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Wow. Ever, Wow, Well, that's going to be a bit
of an adjustment. I bet me.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
John and another close friend, Megan twenty three years old female,
had planned to go to a music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Since Meghan's brother and his friends were also going, we
had decided to jump in with their group to enjoy
Vegas and the music festival together. We did not know
that John had also invited his boyfriend to this trip.

(14:19):
I guess John wanted me and Meghan to get to
know his boyfriend better. I was struggling to decide which
flight to return from Vegas because I was kind of
tied on money. I consulted with John to see what
I should do. Since Meghan and her brother had rented
a car in Vegas, I wasn't sure if I should
return at an earlier flight around two PM like Megan.

(14:40):
Since I would be carpooling with Megan and her brother
throughout the trip and check out at eleven AM for
the hotel. The earlier flight was a bit more expensive
than the later return flight, so John suggested he and
his boyfriend could take me to the airport and I
could hang out with them after checking out from the hotel.
John was flying to meet with his boyfriend in California

(15:01):
and then drive them both to Vegas. I told John
I don't want to inconvenience them and wouldn't mind booking
the earlier flight, but John said it was fine if
they took me to the airport, so I decided to
book a later return flight. At seven pm, John mentioned
it would be a good time for me to get
to know his boyfriend. We arrived in Vegas and found

(15:22):
out John and his boyfriend had booked a different hotel
from us. John didn't want Megan's brother and his friends
to know that he is not straight. John told the
brother and friends that he was just bringing a friend.
It was fine since the hotel they booked was close
to ours. We also found out that John and his

(15:42):
boyfriend had bought shuttle bus passes to the music festival
without our knowledge. We had planned to carpool together to
the festival. Megan's brother even paid extra to change the
car at the rental place to seat eight passengers. Since
John and his friend really his boyfriend, we're supposedly joining us.
We all arrived one day earlier from the festival day,

(16:05):
and we had a whole day planned with events. We
asked John if they were going to join in on
our day, which John told us to include him and
his friend with so we did. In the end, John
and his boyfriend ended up backing out from all the
events we were doing because they were too tired. During
the three day music festival, we did not see John
and his boyfriend at all. It was disappointing since we

(16:28):
had planned this trip to go to the music festival together.
I messaged John if we can at least meet up
during the afternoon to have lunch together or something, but
he did not respond. I thought he was just too
tired from coming back from the festival, so I let
it slide.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
No, girl, he's not.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
On the last day of the festival, I messaged John
to see if he was still okay with taking me
to the airport and if we were going to hang out.
I messaged him while we were getting ready to go
to the music festival, and keep in mind this festival
starts at six pm and ends at six am the
next day.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I got no response.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I started to panic because I haven't seen him throughout
this trip and because I don't feel comfortable being alone
in Vegas. I kept messaging him and calling him, but
no response. He headed to the festival and I decided
to just enjoy the music to calm down. I ended
up messaging him at around two in the morning the
next day, the day I'm going to fly out back
home to once again ask him if he was still

(17:25):
going to take me to the airport. I still got
no response, so I decided I would go with Megan
and her brother's to the airport and wait at the airport.
Since I would not have any transportation, I was not
going to drag my luggage around with me in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Fat. Yeah, don't do that, and op, you've done everything right.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
May I would have probably actually been like, I'm going
with you guys way earlier. As if I didn't get
a response that same day or the day before, I'm like,
all right, John's a wall whatever, I'm gonna keep that
in mind and I'll go to the airport.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Or when people are in their first relationship, they usually
actually themselves with their partner. I mean, not like in
a bad way. They're just like, I want to hang
out with this person doing their own thing. John doesn't
know how to explain that. He doesn't know how to
communicate that because it's new to him.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, so you can't be don't be upset to John.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Though, I ended up getting a message from John while
I was packing my stuff to head to the airport.
He told me that he was in too much of
an altered state from the substances he had consumed and
did not message me back because of that. He then
said he was not able to take me to the
airport since they needed to rest coming back from.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
The music festival.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, So at this point, I'm like, hey, I get it.
That was so whack of you, John, I get it.
I understand. Doesn't excuse how crappy that was. As a
friend who you've told me, You're like, oh, yeah, do
this because I got you, and now you don't got me.
That's a bad move. So keep in mind I was

(18:58):
receiving this message and my flight was not until seven pm, which,
for all my little math nerds out there, that's thirteen
hours of resting time that John could have. I was
irritated and disappointed, because if I had known this was
going to happen, I would have flown out on an
earlier flight. I ended up waiting ten hours alone at
the airport with no sleep at all, before flying back

(19:20):
home since my flight got delayed. John never once messaged
me to check on how I was doing after his
much needed rest. Feel like if I was op i'd
be more butt hurt than John is.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Right now, that is hilarious, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
I ended up messaging my sisters to let them know
about my whereabouts since one of my sisters was planning
to pick me up when I had landed at home.
I was upset, sad, and hurt about John, and I
ended up telling all my sisters about what happened to
me during my trip to Vegas. I had told them
that John pretty much left us for his boyfriend, putting
mister before sisters. I was trying so hard to hold

(19:55):
back my tears because I didn't think John would treat
me this way for some guy. His family suspected that
John was attracted to the same gender, so it was
not a surprise to my family. Long story short, we
all came back from our Vegas trip, me Meghan, and
John ended up having a discussion about what had happened.
Megan told John that what he did to me was
crappy and we all did not expect him to do

(20:18):
something like that. Meghan's brother even told John that John
should have at least checked in on me. Megan told
John that he needed to apologize, and I expressed privately
to John how I felt and told him that John.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Had hurt me and that he could have at least
responded back to me.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I told John that I told my sisters what happened
on the trip, and he panicked and asked if they
knew about his boyfriend.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
I told him, of course they know, since my family
is not stupid enough to believe that John would treat
me the way he did for another person who's just
a friend. After we both talked about what happened on
the trip, I forgave him and we moved on with
our lives. I received a text message from John a
week later. John ended up texting me that it was
fed up of me and he was hurt that I

(21:04):
told my family he was attracted to the same gender
because it was not my place to come out for him.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
It's sort of like one of those things where people
come to their own conclusion and they're like, yeah, they
piece it together.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
From the sounds of it. You weren't really fooling these
people at all to begin with. Yeah, it's like this
is like your second family. It's like, you've been so
close to this family. OHP's been so close to John's family.
John's family basically said like yeah, we already knew, like
when they came out, when he came out to them,
I'm sure Ope's family's literally the same way, like exactly.

(21:36):
So he told me that I had taken a piece
of his identity away from him. He didn't appreciate me
telling my family he was attracted to the same gender,
and now they will look at him differently.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
No, they won't do the look at you the same
way because they probably they already knew.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
John said he wanted to tell people he's attracted to
the same gender when he is ready to Uh. And
by the way, you better be ready to listen to
full episodes with stories like this on I heard radio
and Apple podcasts and Spotify wherever you listen to podcasts.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Just search the name of this show.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Okay, story time yep, and you will have the Oysters
pearl in your hand.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Okay, we do have a little bit more story left.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
So I felt bad and I thought about it that
if it was wrong for me to tell my family,
you know, his secret. I cried and called him to
explain to him. I didn't tell my family that he
was attracted to the same gender out of spite or
with malicious intent. I apologized, but John told me he
doesn't know if he could forgive me. After hearing that,
it made me wonder if he wanted to turn me

(22:36):
into a bad friend for telling my family because he
realized he was being a.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Bad friend during our trip.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Mmm hmm, So am I the a hole for telling
my family he is attracted to the same gender, not.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
If your family came to the conclusion. So now you
didn't really tell him if.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Your family is practically his family, like what we was
described at the beginning of the story, already knew.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Plus you were like, Hey, I need to be here
for ten hours. I'm just upset of John because he's
hang out with his friend and they aren't. It's not
like I'm at I'm at the airport for for for
like ten hours.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Also John's and I don't like him anymore because it's
a boyfriend and I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like, that's not what it was. It was more
just like, dude, and yeah, John dropped the ball super hard.
He's trying to take the heat off of him by
being like, oh, well, the way you reacted, even though
I was wrong, what you did was worse, and it's like, yeah,
there's no way op would have said anything if they
thought that the reaction would have been negative. My boyfriend

(23:41):
lost my senior dog in the streets. I couldn't forgive him.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
Your boyfriend's for the streets.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Me twenty four female and my boyfriend twenty four male,
have been together for almost four years. We get along
okay for the most part. Things like him losing something
of mine have happened, but to this level. By the way,
this comes from user Anna Maria five and if you
want to submit your own stories, go to the r
slash Okay storytime subreddit and submit the mayre. So I

(24:10):
have had my dog Milo twelve female for her whole life.
We grew up together, and it's really hard for her
to get to trust other people. She has always been
an anxious girl, but she is the light of my
life and was always by my side, even in my
worst days. Three years ago, I introduced my boyfriend to
my family, which is just my mom and Mila. He
and my mom got along okay, but he did not

(24:32):
acknowledge Milo in any way.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
That was fine.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
I didn't expect him to be all over her, considering
she doesn't even like that, but I still found it
pretty strange because he said.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
He absolutely loved dogs.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
To be honest, I believe that because he would always
pet dogs when we were outside. Any interaction he had
with her over the past three years was limited, but
Milo warmed up to him. She would greet him and
go to him for pets, which he sometimes gave, and
accepted him on our daily A year and a half ago,
Milo got sick. She had a tooth infection which was
pretty bad. Her whole right eye had swollen shut. I

(25:07):
asked my boyfriend to take us to the vet because
I don't have a car. The vet took care of
the infection, gave me some antibiotics to administer daily, and
gave instructions on how to clean the wound left after
the vet drained the puss. For a couple of weeks,
I didn't hang out much with my boyfriend because I
was focused on taking care of Milo.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
One thing that stood out to me was how pissed
he seemed every time I brought her up to talk
about her progress.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Looking back, that should have raised some red flags, but
I guess I brushed it off. Now that I've given
you the short version of the past, here's what's happening
in the present. I planned a short vacation with my
mom to visit my grandparents. While talking to my boyfriend
about the trip, I told him that my best friend
Alex twenty three mail would take care of Milo. My

(25:49):
boyfriend then offered to take care of her himself.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Don't do it. Don't trust him. It's a trap.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I mean, you know, in the moment, it'd be like, oh, look, okay,
my boyfriend's turning around, like, yeah, trying to take some responsibility.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
He's trying to get in there. You know, this is
now a green flag.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
However, however, he was mad that I hadn't come to
him first, insisting that he.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Loved Milo and wanted to go on walks with her.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
This sudden love that he felt for her out of
the blue was strange, but I reluctantly agreed.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
The trip was supposed to last three days.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
On day two, I was on the phone with my
boyfriend when he casually mentioned that Milo really liked to
stay outside. That immediately felt off, so I asked him
what he met. He left my sweet girl outside for
hours at a time alone and would only check on
her hourly. Mind you, I live in an apartment. No,
I don't have a backyard.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
I was about to be like, oh, well you know
hourly it's a backyard. No back He's just leaving her
on the street. Where is she? Where is she?

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Where in the like?

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Is it like?

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Is it gated? Is this dog just on the sidewalk?

Speaker 2 (26:58):
He just let her out in the lounge by the pool.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Was like, yeah, she's by the hot dub. I don't know,
I'll check out.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
This is crazy me, I was gonna I was about
to underreact to.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I was like, I was like, oh the dogs outside,
dogs are come on. It's like, oh no, wait, just
with nowhere to go, just released into the streets. My god.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
As soon as I told my mom, we left immediately
and arrived back home around nine pm. Since then, I
have blocked my boyfriend on everything and have been searching
for my girl. I've printed posters, gone out every day
for hours at a time, and posted about her in
Facebook groups around my area. If you have any advice
on what else I could do, please let me know.
Now he and his friend group say I'm an a

(27:37):
hole because I've put my dog above my boyfriend in
all of our four years of relationship. I know for
a fact this is not true, but I don't have
anyone else to ask besides people that are really close
to me and would be biased. I'm sorry for the
long post. My mind is all over the place. And
we have some comments. Oh my god, No, you're not
the ahle, the a hole.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Your dog's gone, You're not the a hole. And it
seems like no one's actually been like apologizing to you.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
And his friends are like, yeah, you've been because you
prioritize your dog. You've had for your old life over
your boyfriend, which is not I doubt that. It's more
like you like your dog and your boys show has
a secure and jealous that he can't handle.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
That also just has proven you know who he really
is in this moment.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Pretty psychat.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
We've had a four year relationship, but to leave a
dog outside on purpose and then not seem to understand
that you led to it, running away.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Exiled the dog, exiled the doll, and then didn't care,
didn't even care.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
She likes it.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Yeah, I don't think you've done anything wrong. Ope, and I.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Hope you find your dog.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I think you were dating a psycho. We have some
comments here from Velvety hot, not the ahole. Your boyfriend's
negligence led to your dog's disappearance, and his lack of
care for Milove over the years clearly shows where his
priorities lie. Breaking up was justified. Keep searching for my
involved local shelters, vets, and social.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Media for a broader reach.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Unusual Canary seventy seven to sixty four says he got
rid of his competition. It's that simple. That's why he
suddenly loved her out of the blue. It was his
opportunity to get rid of the attention he wanted from you,
not the a hole.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Good riddance. What a prickety DooDah prickety day.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Rickkendra said, this was my immediate thought after the backstory.
He didn't like that Op was giving more attention to
her dog when the dog got sick, the ex boyfriend
sees an opportunity to be rid of the dog. I
suspect he did something more nefarious than simply leaving the
dog outside all day.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
I hope he just loved the dog outside.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Crime crime. This man is criminal.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Ope, you are absolutely choosing your dog over this man,
and rightfully so. There's really no question where your priority
should be and You've put your priority in the right place.
Your dog has been in your life three times longer
than you were with this man. Your dog is dependent
on you, and you have a responsibility to be your
dog's caregiver. Your ex is not your dependent and you
don't have the same responsibility for him as you do

(30:00):
for your dog. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.
Tipsy Magpie says you need to check all the shelters
within one hundred and fifty miles. It sounds like he
just drove Milo out somewhere and dumped her. Sadly, I
don't believe that she ran away at all. Judgment not
the ale, and there is an update.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
I just to find this dog.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Find the dog, Find the dog, find the dog. My god.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Okay, it's gonna be a homeward bounds kind of situation. Yes,
dog's gonna be. The kid's gonna be like, I don't know,
there's a kid in this situation now, and the kid's
gonna be like I can.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Hear the time, and then he's gonna be.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Like, no, no, the dog's not here. Little Jimmy, I
don't know what his name is.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
It's Jimmy.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Yeah, it's Jimmy, and he's like, no, I get hear him.
And they're like, come on, little Jimmy, let's go to
the house. And then Opie's little white crusty dog comes.
Milo comes bounding out of the forest next to her apartment,
because this is the forest next to her apartment, and
he's like She's like, She's like, it's.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Milo, yeah, and then they watch Atlantis.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
A lot of people ask me for an update.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I should have waited until I got some rest, but
you all were so helpful and you deserve to know
how this ended.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Oh boy, oh boy.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
My ex came today to get his stuff, and some
of you might be happy for what you're about to read,
but he did not get a single thing back. When
he saw me, he started begging me to forgive him,
and thanks to you again, I agreed to forgive him
if he told me the truth. He just looked me
straight in the face and said, if I'm going to
be honest, you won't forgive me. My heart broke all
over again thinking about the worst of things. When he

(31:26):
saw me cry, he told me I should get over
it because she was already old. But if I really
wanted her back, I should get back with him. And
when he trusts me that I really forgave him, I
could see her again.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
This guy's psycho. This guy is he's holding your dog hostage.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
To yea, since we all know that getting back together
with somebody is always the best when it's under the
hostage situation.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
We can go back dow we were.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
If you agree, tell you where I put your dog.
If you daate me, it can't date me.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
And then he's gonna be like, okay, but you know
if I got the dog back, he was like, well,
I guess I have to keep this dog.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I've just been waiting for a man to say that
to me.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
Like, wow, you really love my life? How did you know?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
I just want a man who tries hard. Can you
call the police yet? For real police police can be involved.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
Now you say, hey, my ex boyfriend is holding my
dog hostage.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, I was exhausted, hopeless and angered.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
And even though I wanted my girl back, I could
not look at him, let alone be with him for
however long he thought it would take me to forgive him,
So he left, not telling me a single thing about Milo.
I got to call some hours later, and on the
other end, was a lady who found Milo on the
side of the road. She told me she would wait
for me to come because when she wanted to pick
her up, she seemed to be impeded.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Maybe she's just in pain from her not having her medication.
Maybe she's all I'm just imagining this way, crusty old
dog with one eye shut so sad.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
When I got there and saw her lying there, all
my emotions flooded me. My sweet baby, even though she
looked so different, was a lie. And by the way,
you can feel alive by listening to full episodes with
stories like this on iHeartRadio, on Apple podcasts, on Spotify.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Just look up Okay storytime.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
So we do have a little bit more story left, honestly,
like police copy anything.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
But so do you even think that he knew where
Milo was when.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
He I don't know, probably not. Yeah, he's a liar.
He's a liar and a dirty, dirty cheek. Yeah, he's
feel like I was.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
Just saying, i'll date you. I mean, if you date me,
I'll I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
But I don't think he knew, right, So my my
actual advice here would be because this guy, this is
the guy who needs consequences for this, like, this needs
to be like something on his on his He needs
a criminal record for this behavior.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Does you can get You can get arrest or it's
like either a fine or some sort of charge for
dumping dogs.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
So yeah, or just I mean the theft of I
don't know what this would be, but I'm sure it's criminal.
And if you can get him on a recording admitting
to it, you know, just play kate whatever, play along
and get him to talk about how he took the
dog and he won't tell you where it is until you,
you know whatever, get the actual evidence of him trying

(34:08):
to essentially blackmail you by it with your dog, yeah,
being sold, and then just go straight to the police with.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
That and block him on everything.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Don't let him know that you have your dog back yet,
don't so that you can get that done.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, that's what I would suggest.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
She is now staying overnight at the vet. She has
two broken ribs and is dehydrated. If everything goes well,
she will be home soon. I appreciate each and every
one of you that took the time to guide me
in this nightmare.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Thank you again. I will be pressing charges.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yes, So we have some comments to finish this off
from Klutzy book two nine eight six. I'm so glad
Milo is okay. I had a feeling he did something
horrible to her. This man is dangerous and has shown
you who he is. Please be safe and never let
him back into your life. This is massive stalkers, sociopathic behavior.
Sneaky snail one one one says agreed, I feel like

(34:57):
he might be responsible for those broken ribs and then
she went away to hide. I don't think a car
would have caused only broken ribs. That X is a
point of sales terminal and deserves nothing in life. Oh p,
good luck, best wishes to you and miss Milo. Op says,
the VET does not think she was hit by a car.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
It will be on her file. Thank you. And if
you can get the VET to back you.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
Up with that, you know what happened to this.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
You get him for criminal neglect or abuse.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Just start with like the dumping, because that is that
is a criminal offense.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, get as much of the confession as you can recorded,
Like go out meet him for coffee, don't meet at
your place, go out to a public place.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah, and just like have aware a wire.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, just well, just you know, phone record sixicchis the
sixth You need to file a police report for your
country's equivalent of animal cruelty or barring that property damage
against the X. That sounds so wrong. Make him cover
Milo's medical expenses. Yes, one hundred percent. All the consequences
need to go to this call. That is the end
of that story. But the end of the story is

(36:00):
when this guy ends up with a criminal record and
hopefully like maybe I don't.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Know, Yeah I can't. You should go to jails. Week
in jail at least ju I think it would go.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
I think if she did get some sort of you know,
thing against him for animal abuse, he wouldn't be able
to adopt any other animals.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Hey, it's Sam, your og host.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Here.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three
minutes of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
My friend expected me to fund her wedding. It ruined
our friendship.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Why would you expect that from a friend? From what?
I need more? I need more?

Speaker 3 (36:35):
I thirty one female and my best friend, let's call
her me thirty two female, met in the summer of
two thousand and five when her family lived next door
to us. I don't even remember how we became close.
I just remember that we clicked almost instantaneously. I was
eleven and she was twelve. We became each other's partners
in crime. I admittedly closer to her than I am

(36:57):
with my sister. By the way, this goes from Last
Talk eighty and if you want to make your own story,
go to our sash Okay storytime. Sorry about it. So,
when I turned eighteen, I moved to a bigger city
about seven to eight hours away from my hometown. This
is where I found a job and slowly built my
career and became independent. Around twenty seventeen, I decided to
move to a different company and that's when I met

(37:18):
my husband to be. Let's call them Ralph, thirty two miles.
After about a month of getting to know each other,
we decided to start dating and happened together. Since this
is an important context, so please keep in mind, getting
engaged is not common practice in our country. It's usually
reserved for only the rich, the prestige. Common folks usually

(37:39):
go straight to the marriage talks, no proposal, no rings.
With that said, me and Ralph started talking about getting
married in twenty twenty and started saving for the wedding
since same year, twenty twenty, I was contacted by me
asking me if she can temporarily live with me while
she's job hunting, and since I don't live with Ralph,
I obviously agreed. At this time understood the indication that

(38:02):
she won't be able to help out with rent bills
and groceries, but I'm fine with that. I was earning
enough for the both of us. A month after she
moved in with me, Me met her boyfriend Jay twenty seven. Now,
at this point, she has not found a job or
reasoning was that she hasn't found the right job for
her yet, which at the time I supported. Until two

(38:22):
weeks after she met Jay, she's told him to move
in with her.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
At my house without my knowledge. You gotta have the knowledge,
first knowledge. You need knowledge.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
If my brother said, hey, can I move in with
you in La before I found a job, I'm gonna
be like, sure, you have exactly seven days, one hundred
and sixty hours before you find a job that you
can stay here.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
That's what I'm telling that. I mean, honestly, in La
you can find a job in a week.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
It might it's probably not gonna be a job you
like or a job you want to keep for very long,
but you could definitely find a job out here in
a week.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Yeah, there's jobs, jobs exist everyone. Imagine my surprise when
one day I got home from work only to see
some random guy in the living room and his boxer's
sitting on my couch was out eating my favorite snacks
while watching TV. I threw my bag and my shoes
at him, shouting tell him to get out of my house.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Startled me.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Emerged from the kitchen, looked at me, and then laughs
while introducing Jay to me as if nothing strange was happening.
I pulled her into my room asked what the heck
was happening. She just said that his beautique business went
down due to the VID and he has nowhere else
to go, so she invited to live with her. Mind you,
they've known each other for two weeks at this point. Okay,

(39:42):
that's unhinged behavior. I can't wrap my head around this
and tried to reason with her, but since I immediately was
a people pleaser, can't say no, she was able to
convince me to let them stay.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
In my basement.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
We talking about this is not like a stray cat.
That they found this is a grown human being, So
now your salary has to feed three the same basement.
I renovated my as my library, says movie room my
most favorite part of my house.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
And yes, you guess the right. They lived with me
rent free, and says both of them are unemployed. They
can't seem to contribute for bills and groceries.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Haha.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
At that time, I just thought that I was helping
her since I'm earning more, it's.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
No big deal. Sadly, this just called more.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Arguments between me and Ralph, to the point that I
had to send me down to talk to her about
the situation. She started taking gigs. Jay remained unemployed, and
she was able to contribute to at least one fourth
of the bills and groceries. Still rent free, but at
least she's starting to contribute. That's what I thought, as

(40:47):
me was too picky. She don't last in whatever job
she got, so it came to a point where she
only gives me that one fourth contri contribution. What's every
three to four months?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
All right, okay, stop it, stop being a chronic people pleaser,
stop with your CPP CPP.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I even tried offering them a job at the company.
I work at cleaning crew and pays good but they declined,
giving excuses that the job is not right for them
or whatever. This lasted for four years.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Oh my god, what I get help in family? Was
that random guy there for four years? When did the
random guy leave?

Speaker 2 (41:31):
First of all? Second of all, what is it with
the job? With it right for me?

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Any job that pays you money that you can pay me,
that you owe me is a good job for you.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Me and Jay decided to go back to Me and
Me's o'clroown, stating that there's no work for them there.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Jay was there the whole time. What did they start dating?
They were dating.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
There's a lot, They're just too picky. After they left,
Ralph and I started to talk about our wedding plans again.
At this time, he and I still don't live together.
As I mentioned, we started saving in twenty two and
had our plans to get married postpone twice twenty three
to twenty four. After almost eight years and multiple family dramas,
we decided to finally tie the knot this year as

(42:10):
we saved a significant amount of money these past four years.
For reference, Ralph and I both worked in marketing and
earned six digits. We decided to make our wedding grand.
By December of twenty twenty four, we've selected a wedding
planner coordinator, found a beautiful church and venue for the
ceremony and reception, and are currently in talks with suppliers
and vendors. By January of this year, we started asking

(42:33):
people to be a part of our entourage. No one
else knows about our wedding outside the entourage, as we
haven't announced it yet. I call me personally and ask
her to be my bridesmaid. My sister is my maid
of honor, and she agreed. She sounded genuinely happy over
the phone. However, a week after my call with her,
she posted on her Facebook account that she and Jay

(42:56):
are getting married on April twenty five. Remembered when I
mentioned that engagement and proposals are not common, our common
friends congratulated her without asking when and how they got engaged.
The thing is I did not know about it either.
If not for the post, I wouldn't even be aware

(43:17):
that they are also planning to get married. I called
to congratulate her, asking about it, and she just said
that it just happened. Oh, it just happened. Jay was
saving up money, and uh, it just so happened to
have a ring.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
It just happened. You know.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
We felt we were in the right place to do
it after we mooched in someone's basement essentially for four years,
and I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Did they ever get jobs? They had to do it right.
I'm going crazy over here.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
I don't mind getting married on the same year as her,
since the month and date are different. I even asked
her if she wants to stay in my bridal party
or if she wants to be a guest instead, in
which she reassured me that she still wants to be
my bridesmaid. It is worth mentioning that our entourage won't
be spending a penny for our wedding, as we decided
to cover everything from dresses, hair and makeup, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Hey, at least you're not bitter about the extra money
you could have saved if you had been properly charging
rent for four years for two people, dude, Ugh, two people,
Hugh willingly sharing extra space with two more people who
aren't paying you money.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Eh.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Around the fourth week of January, me and Ralph started
our plans, including the budget to our entourage, which surprised them.
Us and our group of friends are from the middle
class families, so their surprise is understandable. I made sure
to let them know that we save for four years
for this wedding and we want to make it as
grand as we can. Unfortunately, this did not set well

(44:43):
with me.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Meh, meh, Are we gonna call them?

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Meh?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
She called me one day, asking why I'm trying to
upstage her and why I'm ruining her wedding. I reminded
her that she did not mention anything about her getting married,
and I just learned about it from her Facebook. She
then started to say comments about us spending too much
on our wedding when it will be only for a day.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Big facts though not I'm gonna agree there, big facts.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Saying how it'll be better if I spend some of
our budget for her wedding instead. Oh my god, everyone
Dakota has left the building. I was flabbergasted. The way
she said things made me think that she just saw
me as a piggy.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Bank, that she is entitled to my money.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
What's worse, she demanded that I postpone my wedding, saying
that another postponements on our wedding won't make a difference,
since our wedding was already postponed twice. Anyways, she started
seeing red. She knows the reasons why we postponed. She
knows how miserable me and Ralph were when our initial
wedding plans got postponed. She said that the audacity to

(45:58):
demand that she did not even ask, she demanded it.
To top it off, she said, she'll make use of
the venue, flowers, catering, and other wedding stuff we already
paid for. To think we are getting married in the
city we currently live in while they're just getting married
in our hometown.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Clearly Ech is like way out of line here. But
I wonder where they got the idea that you'd be
willing to pay them money.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Hmm?

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Would it potentially be the four years you essentially paid
for them.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
To live with you? Just a thought. I lost it.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
I don't like confrontation, but the devil inside me, oh welka.
At that time, I told her everything about how I felt. Ever,
since she let Jay stay at my place without consulting
me first, to how I covered for their rent bills
and grocery, to how she changed after my After meeting Jay,
I let it all out to the point that I
was sobbing. I realize how hurt I was and how

(47:02):
I've been holding it in for the last four years.
They've stayed in my place. She just stayed silent then
hung up on me. I haven't heard back from her, So, yeah,
I chose to proceed with my wedding over my best
friend of twenty years. I guess I don't have a
best friend anymore.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Ps.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
I forgot to mention that me talk to our common
friends about trying to upstage me and ruin her wedding.
Since me posted about her wedding first, they believed her,
and I've lost more friends. Ooh no, no, no, you got
as soon as that happens, whoever the news gets to first,
they'll believe. But you gotta like, you gotta go to

(47:39):
PR you gotta pr that you gotta come back.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
It's like, oh, did they tell you the whole story
or just that, Oh, they just said that I'm trying
to upstage the Okay, cool. I've been with my partner
for eight years. We would have gotten married earlier, but
I had them stay essentially for free at my place
for four years because they were just broke to afford rent.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
I guess pss.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
I forgot to mention that Me was from a religious
family and that the wedding was forced by her dad
as he caught them in bed together. I was also
told by a common friend that I'm still friends with
that the possible reason for Me's outburst was because she
compared my wedding to hers. I was told that she
will be having a civil wedding, breaking notes from Both

(48:24):
of them are still employed and Me's dad is paying
for their wedding. Oh what's new.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Choosing to be unemployed for four years is insane? Choosing
that's a choice you've chosen now that you're gonna be unemployed?
All right?

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Update?

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Thank you everyone for your kind words. It has made
me realize that I don't have to be sad about
this lost friendship and made me recognize who my real
friends are. I'm still in the process of accepting it,
but I'm getting there. So here's the update. I talked
to Ralph about this. I showed him your comments and
he agreed with you. We have set up passwords with
our vendors suppliers to avoid any possible issues. We are

(49:02):
also in talks with our wedding planner and the venue
owner for a possible change in venue. Going back to me,
even before, Ralph kept telling me that her and Jay
staying at my place free loading was not right. Sadly,
I had too much faith on our relationship that it
made me ignore all the red flags. But trust, but
trust me. Looking back, I can say that me was

(49:25):
not like this when she was there. Whenever she was there,
whenever I needed her most. I never felt that she
used me or took advantage of me when we were younger.
But I noticed that it all changed when I moved
away and started working for context. I got to university
at fifteen and graduated early at eighteen. What which is

(49:45):
why I was able to move away from her hometown
for work early. While I started working, she remained at school. Unfortunately,
she did not finish college and we met and met
the wrong crowd. This will be relevant later on. Ever
since I was a kid, I've been told that I
liked giving gifts, and this continued to adulthood. I can
say that this is my love language, saying this is

(50:08):
why whenever I was on vacation to her hometown. I
always bring my friends gifts like skincare, clothes and food delicacies.
I also take them out to dinner from time to time.
I think this was when me started taking me for
granted and started taking advantage of me. Looking back, I
realized that whenever we are out, either I asked to

(50:29):
go out or she asked me, it's always me who
foots the bill. I also remember that I always gave
her gifts on her birthday. I even paid for our
vacation on her twenty fifth birthday. But I never once
received a gift from her, not not even a simple card.
She just simply sent me a text wishing me a
happy birthday. Back then, I just thought that since she's

(50:52):
still a student, it's fine. It's the thought that counts.
There was also a time when she introduced me to
a group of friends, same friends that cussed me out
for stealing their thunder and ruining her wedding, and yes,
the same wrong crowd. It was supposed to be and
eat out with just the two of us, but I

(51:13):
ended up paying for more than six people. This ishmandam
meetups with her random friends happened multiple times, and I
remember that I always was the one paying for it.
One of her friends even borrowed money for me five
hundred bucks with me's guarantee. I should have known then,
but as I said, I was blind, and yes, I

(51:35):
never got that money back. After thinking hard about it,
I realized that she really did take advantage of me.
She used and financially mistreated me for years. With that said,
I called my mom earlier today and asked her to
pass the phone to me's dad. My mom and her
dad are still neighbors. I told her dad everything. I
also sent him the coffee of the ledger. I kept

(51:57):
all unpaid bills, rents and grocery and yes, I keep
ledgers for all of my spendings, something I learned from
my job. Surprisingly, her dad told me that she was
sending money to me all those four years that she
lived with me. Yes, she was receiving money from her dad.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
What what?

Speaker 2 (52:19):
What are you doing? What are we doing? What are
you doing dad? What?

Speaker 3 (52:22):
I was told that the said money was for her
part of the rent and for her to buy her
own groceries. I was surprised. I told her dad that
I have not been that I have not received anything
from me other than the amount indicated in my ledger.
He was livid, especially to the fact that she was
living with Jay all those years she was here. I'm

(52:44):
not sure where the money went. Maybe that's how she
was able to buy things while unemployed. Anyhow, her dad
told me that he'll be paying it back. He also
told me that he won't be paying for their wedding
anymore and will be giving them an ultimatum. Also good
for him, thank god, to find a job and get married,
or he will punt them both out of his house.
Let's go now. I will be getting my money back soon.

(53:06):
We'll be using it for her honeymoon, and there is
a possibility that me and Jay won't get married. I
also blocked her and her friend's numbers as well as
in Facebook, because I'm sure that she will be calling
me NonStop what she hears from her dad. She does
not have Ralph's numbers, so I'm not worried about him.
By the way, you guys don't have to worry at
all in your lives. If you go to your favorite

(53:28):
podcast platform Apple, Spotify, Hieartradio and search up Okay, story
Time and Boom Pop Powe, there we are with stories
as crazy as this. One. If you like it, go
check it out.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
Good, good for Op, good for o. P got her
money back. Things are working out. The dad's got a spine. Also,
the dad's really nice, like what so Yeah, for now,
I guess all is well and unpaid debts have been settled.
I'm a little guilty about the possibility of Ruinne's wedding,
but Ralph assured me that since me and her friends

(54:01):
already accused me of doing so, I'm just honing up
to it. So that's the end of my update. If
I ever hear more about them, or if they'll get
remarried this April, I will let you know, and I
will also post an update after Ralph and My's wedding.
Thanks againing everyone. Dang it, I wish it was after this.
I wish I didn't know the story was the thing
until after the wedding.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Dang it. But dude, that was a story.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
I mean, Op, I think you really need to focus
on not worrying about everyone else's stuff. Anyone else's stuff,
but yours, Like, take responsibility for your life and your actions.
You're not ruining anyone's wedding. Oh yeah, no, you're they
ruined it by being liars and essentially stealing from May's father.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Yeah, that's not on you. Hey, it's johny og Host here.
We're gonna get back to the stories. But he's a
quick three minute break of ass from more sponsors.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
My boyfriend wrecked my car and thought I wouldn't find out.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
He's just like, maybe I'll just use a little tape here,
a little glue there.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
It's fine.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
He's like, gho, scratches were on it before throwaway because
this crab is embarrassing AF I have been with my
thirty two female boyfriend thirty five mail for a little
over three years. Every once in a while, I'll let
him drive my car when he's low on gas or
if he has a good parking spot and doesn't want.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
To move, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
By the way, this comes from Illustrated Pixie, and if
you want to submit your own stories, go to our
slash joke storytime suppered it. So a couple of weeks ago,
I get a call from my insurance company letting me
know they needed a statement about the accident. What After
a solid forty five minutes of adamantly proclaiming this lady
was full of crap, and that there was no accident.

(55:46):
The insurance rep said, well, we have a report that
boyfriend's name was in an accident in blah blah parking
lot on on this date, claiming he was driving his
girlfriend's car.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
I call my.

Speaker 5 (55:56):
Boyfriend and he denies up and down that there was
an accident, explained the call I received, and he replies with, ah, yeah,
I forgot about that. Apparently he's been dodging calls for
over a month and never told me any of this
was going on. There was no damage to my car,
so I have no reason to think anything had happened.
Yesterday I was trying to work out the details with

(56:16):
the insurance company and get him to make and make
a statement, but it was impossible. He stopped responding to
my text about the situation, so I called him. He
cleared the call. I called again, He cleared it again.
Then he texted me, I'm with my parents, okay, but
this is a serious situation and I need to speak
with you about it. Can you please answer. I don't
want to fight with you in front of my parents.

(56:36):
This isn't a fight. I need details about the accident
from you. He still won't take my call, so I
send him kind of a crappy text, something along the
lines of you can't even show me the respect to
take my call about something serious. This isn't even a
real relationship to you.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Silence.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
Finally, after two hours of radio silence and me being very,
very upset, I call again. He answers and says, I
don't know have the energy to do this with you
right now. I'm painting. I don't want to talk. I say,
what about my feelings? What about me? He scoffs, what
about you? And then he hangs up. I haven't heard
from him since. I know he's waiting for me to

(57:11):
break down and contact him, as that has historically been
the case. And there is an update breakup.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
I mean, if that's the reaction to like and in
his head he's probably like, well, I mean your car
didn't even get hurt.

Speaker 5 (57:23):
Yeah, but it's like I got someone else was involved
who probably has damaged to their car.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Yeah, And it's probably let's be honest, if you get
into a fender vender in a parking lot and you
can't smooth talk your way out of dealing with that
with just cash, what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (57:36):
What are we doing?

Speaker 5 (57:36):
Man? Don't keep cash on me.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
You got venmo, you got anything, you got any kind
of way to transfer money to another person, to say, Hey,
this isn't my car, is my girlfriend's car.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
I'm not on your insurance. Let's do this with cash.

Speaker 5 (57:48):
Yeah, I can't.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Everyone wins if he has.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
If there was no damage to Opie's car, I can't
imagine there was that much damage. The other surface scratch
yeah yeah, and the fact that yeah, it's just like,
didn't even mention it. Update It is twelve fifteen pm
my time, and still not a word from this fool.
He gives no craps. I'm done. And second update he
contacted me. The text I got was we have the

(58:12):
kind of love that was forged in adventure and sealed
in the bedroom. What no mention of the accident or
the fight? How do I even respond to this? You
don't You don't respond to that text? There are some
relevant comments, Stormy Lluellyn. He's thirty five, Seriously dump his butt.
He got into an accident in your car, didn't tell you,

(58:33):
denies it, acts like he forgot and then won't speak
to you about it.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (58:38):
I can't express how fast I'd be out of that relationship,
and Katie Nelson eight nine eight says, okay, but like
the last message she sent her, we have the type
of love that's forged and adventure and sealed in the
bedroom is a quote from the Netflix show Disenchantment, Opie,
it wasn't even an original lame a week a line.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Oh heck, no, that's so obvious.

Speaker 5 (58:58):
Like it wasn't even original. He stole that, he copy
pasted and it still sucked. No ordinary rabbit says, is
your name Gwen? John Honey for twenty says, do you
know the extent of the damage on the other car
or a possible contact? Maybe directly speak to the owner
of the other vehicle, And Opie says, from what my
insurance says, the lady just wants her deductible paid out

(59:20):
five hundred dollars to get her bumper fixed. Dumb dumb
boyfriend says, though it was barely a scratch, that seems
like a lot of money. I like the idea of
talking to the chick directly, and top comments blah blah.
Hannah says, are you absolutely positive that he isn't actually
three children in a trench coat? Opie says, omfg, I
am crying laughing at this, and there is an update,

(59:43):
um Man, oh man, But yeah, I think this relationship
is kind of over. Unfortunately, if this is how he handles.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
This of this look, I'm sorry again, I'm circling. I've
I've hammered this point a few times. If you're thirty five,
you don't know how to negotiate out of a fender bender.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
I don't know you're not ready.

Speaker 5 (59:59):
Five and calls from the insurance company about the accident
you got into in your girlfriend's car.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Right and all.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Ready for a relationships stems from being unable to grease
the palm of that person in the moment when you
made the mistake and you say, hey, they're just scratch.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
On your This man just sounds like he avoids all
sorts of conflict.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
You know, entirely know how to talk what I would
talk your way through a situation some time.

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
Update. I was straight up blown away by the support, suggestion,
and compassion I was shown by total strangers. So I
know most of you said ghostem but I just couldn't.
While undoubtedly that is what he deserved, I needed to
hear from his perspective why he thought any of this
was okay, because before I could close the door, And honestly,
I'm glad I did, because it's solidified for me that

(01:00:43):
this relationship was an excellent learning experience, that I had
done my learning and it was time to move f
the f on. His avoidance of the situation was explained
by his thinking it wasn't that big of a deal.
He said that he didn't understand why this lady was
making such a big fuss about her bumper, and that
I was unreasonably upset about it, and you didn't want
to talk about it until I had calmed down. Oh oh,

(01:01:03):
I kept it together until I got his side of
the story. According to him, they were both backing out
of their parking spots and smacked into each other. He
was all the way out of a spot, she was
halfway out of hers when bang I literally dialed the
phone and sat with him while he called the insurance
rep and gave a statement. He was found at fault
due to his being all the way out of the spot.
I am not one hundred percent sure what this means

(01:01:25):
for me, my policy, or my pocket yet as far
as the relationship done. When he came over to talk,
I had all his things packed up. I tried to
explain how hurt and disappointed I was about his actions
and told and told him that I could no longer
trust him because of how terribly he handled the situation.
He said, I crap, you not, oh please. You just
set a fire and expected me to come to your

(01:01:45):
rescue and put it out, and when I didn't, you
threw a fit. I'm sorry, I just didn't have the
energy to put out your fire. This is your god
dang fire, set by your crappy actions and fueled by
your avoidance. I burst into tears, handed him as bad
and said I needed him to leave now. I told
him anything of mine left at his place he can
throw away or leave there until his next victim or

(01:02:08):
mother comes and cleans it for him. Speaking of his mother,
I did listen to you and crafted a very detailed
email to her with him ce seed. I explained what
happened and then asked her for his driver's license number
and policy name and ID number, just in case it's needed.
Her response was, I'm very sorry that you're having to
deal with this, but I don't see how this is
our problem if it's your car. I feel like this

(01:02:30):
whole family or a bunch of lizard people sent to
earth to make me question my reality. By the way,
the reality of your situation is that you can listen
to full episodes of stories just like this. Just go
to Apple Podcast, Spotify or iHeartRadio and search it by Okay,
stort time, but there is a little bit left.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
But dang a family of reptilia.

Speaker 5 (01:02:49):
Yang. I mean moral of the story. Be careful who
you let to drive your car.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah, I mean make.

Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
Sure that they have some inture. Honestly, like I it's
very very you know, my parents are always in don't
let anyone drive your car because.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
You're not insured.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
You need to if you know, like if you have
a partner, you live with somebody, if you know someone's
gonna be driving your car a lot, if you have
a roommate, whatever, you can add them to your insurance.
You can add drivers to insurance.

Speaker 5 (01:03:14):
Yeah, like, make sure you do that, because honestly, even
if he was a good guy and like took care
of this, he'd still not be on the insurance. And right,
there's so many instances where accidents happen by you know,
by accident.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
It's called c y A. This is what my mom
taught me. It stands for cover your booty.

Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
Uh, there's a little bit left anyway. Single at thirty two, Again,
I am sad as f but trying to focus on
the plus side. As someone said, cutting a bunch of wait.
Thanks again for all the love and laughs. And yes,
once it is determined how much is this going to
affect my rates in my pocket? I will be taking
his cartoon quoting a to small claims court. I have
already spoken to my attorney about it. Much love, Pixie

(01:03:55):
relevant comment says uh or t three tent.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
She didn't, he didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:04:01):
I don't see how this is our problem. If he's
your car, well, we found where he gets it from.
And op says, seriously, here's the thing. If it had
been me and his car, you best believe his family
would have expected me to pay for any damages. And
they have stupid money. Yeah, people who have stupid money
have stupid money for a reason, because they're stingy with it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
You want to hear really quick a story time of
the stupidest stupid money I've ever seen in my life.
I grew up in Saint Louis, the Bush family that
owned Anheuser Busch from Saint Louis low key the family's curse,
but that's a different story. There was a guy, one
of the bush children, had a finger monkey, had a
little pigmy finger monkey that he would bring with him

(01:04:41):
to parties. That sounds illegal, it probably was, Oh my goodness,
but they had like hundreds of million stupid money, if
not maybe billions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
So and boil boy, was he a sack of rocks
up here?

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Also, like some of those people are stingy as heck. Anyway,
that is the end of the story.
