Speaker 1 (00:28):
Nephew's subject. My honey and my hubby are friends. Dear
Stephen Shirley. I have had a special friend for twenty years,
and I was with him when I met the man
I married. I call my friend my honey, and my
husband is my hubby. It took a good minute for
my hubby to get used to my honey being around.
(00:49):
My honey is very flamboyant and exuberant. That's the only
way for me to describe him. He loves to dress,
he always smells wonderful, and he gives gives me style
and home decorating advice all the time. After my first child,
my honey was there by my side daily to make
sure I was fed, and I was cute when people
(01:11):
stopped by to see the baby. My Hobby learned to
appreciate my Honey because Honey was ready and willing to
help us out and give us a break from the kids.
Honey is here in the blink of an eye if
I need him. So I feel strange for writing to
you about being jealous. Right after I had the baby,
I was lying in bed alone and I could hear
(01:33):
Honey and Hubby in the kitchen cooking and laughing. He
even allowed Honey to bring his boyfriend over a couple
of times. The three of them went to watch the
game last week and left me home with the kids.
I am jealous of their great friendship. When I am
on the phone with Honey, my husband, my Hobby yells
(01:53):
from the background to tell Honey, Hi, they've made plans
to watch the big game at our house and didn't
even tell me. Honey planned to cook and everything. He
and I usually go out on days like that while
my hubby watches the game with his friends. I want
Honey back. I hate to admit this, but I was
happier when my Hobby avoided Honey.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Should I feel blessed that they're so cool.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Well, if you're feeling how you're feeling right now, left
out and jealous of their tight relationship, then no, this
is not a blessing to you, not at all, And
not that it's too late. But why haven't you spoken
up before now? Because they are really really close. Now
they're doing things and leaving you out. If your best
(02:37):
friend was a woman, you would have shut it down
a long time ago. You would have run her off,
accusing her of trying to get with your man. If
it was a woman, this is your friend for twenty years,
you ought to be able to talk.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To him about it. Talk to your husband too, Tell
them both how you feel.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Find out why you're being left out, why they're choosing,
you know, to leave you out.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I know what's going on with them, Steve.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, don't nobody want to tell her? Don't nobody want
to You've got news. Yeah, they don't. Nobody want to
tell her. The title of this letter should be ain't
nobody told me nothing? That should be the title of
(03:29):
this letter. I don't know how else to make of
this letter. I don't know, but I'm listening. You know,
she she had this friend for twenty years and she
was friends when when she met her husband, I called
(03:51):
my friend honey, and my husband.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Is my hobby. Ain't that cute?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And took a good minute from my hubby to get
used to Honey being around.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now, this is the way she wants to make us hear.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
This what she trying to say, because you gotta be
careful nowadays in this climate. So she's being politically correct.
She says, my honey is very flamboyant and exuberant, and
that's the only way for me to describe him. Oh,
I ain't the only way. But if we're gonna let

gonna We're gonna leave it there with you, mister flamboyant
and exuberant. He loves to dress. He always smells wonderful.
He gives me styling home decorating advice all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Or who who who better?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Who better to teach you how to dress at home
decorating advice than honey? I mean, I mean, he is
flamboyant and exuberant. Let's just keep using your term so
I don't get in no trouble. But anyway, after I
had my first child, my honey was there by my

cute when people stopped by to see the baby. You
better be that honey. My hobby learned to appreciate my
honey because Honey was ready and willing to help us
out and give us a break from the kid.

bed alone and I could hear Honey.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And Hubby in the kitchen cooking and laughing.
Speaker 4 (06:07):

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
