Tea Time - Red Flag or Green Flag?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're talking red flag or green flag in today's at
Tea Time seven Tea Time.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Spill the tea Sweetheart.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
So here's the deal. Every Friday we dive into your drama.
Can DM me at West Michigan Star. You can send
an email. It's generally you calling out someone else. I'll
just say that. And today we've got one that I
think is I've heard this before and I'm just not
I suppose this mature of a woman. So it says,
good morning. My friend is pretty irritated. Would you be

(00:34):
down with your boyfriend going to his ex's birthday party?
He recently brought up that his ex is hosting a
Halloween slash birthday party next weekend and he wants to go.
My friend and her boyfriend had been dating for a
couple months, and she knew he was still friendly with
his ex. Didn't realize it was this close.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
He did invite her to join for the party, but
it still feels like a red flag? Would you be
comfortable with this? So I'm curious how long these two
knew each other, Like, I'm sure she knows the length
of the relationship, but were they friends before this? Are
we talking like family friends? Where you know this goes
back to childhood, because I guess I feel maybe a

(01:12):
little differently, like, yeah, go to your ex's birthday party.
I mean, I'm coming along. I'm a'll keep an eye
on things. But then I get so nervous, Like have
you seen this new TikTok trend where it's like I
spent all this time dating only to marry, you know,
my kindergarten best friend, Like there's something to be said

(01:32):
for that. And I don't know if you guys have
only been dating for a couple months though, is that
you're right? Six one six, four five eight, one oh
five seven, way in on the tea time. Would you
be down with your current partner going to their exes'
birthday party? I think it's a little more casual as well.

(01:52):
If she's making this a birthday slash Halloween party, you know,
maybe you just wear a mask and don't have any
kind of conversation whatsoever. I'm so mature. Six one six,
four five eight one oh five seven. What would you
tell her, Lily? I think she should tell him that
she'd like to come with him if it's not a
big deal. Yeah, does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Like I feel like yeah, talk to him and ask it, like, well,
why wouldn't he be able to bring her?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I think if he's already mentioned that and said
it's it's good, he doesn't feel like there's anything weird
about this. What's up, Curtis.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, I would definitely talk about it if it
really bothers you, But also like, you should not be
so insecure. If they're truly like family friends and it's
the base pass the relationship point, then you know you
should try to get over it and you should ultimately
trust the person you're with.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Curtis, you haven't met too many women, have you?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Six?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
One six, four or five eight? One oh five seven?
Red flag? Green flag your ex? No, your partner wants
to go to their ex's birthday party. Maybe you're better
people than me. Go ahead, check it out. Got it
