Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Frend Show is on. It's Stay or Go, Like, Taren,
good morning, Taren. How are you welcome? Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
How are you doing.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Doing all right? Welcome to stay or go? A little
group therapy action here. What's going on with you and
this guy that you've been dating?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Okay, so just we've been dating for like about four months,
almost four months now, and he's a great guy, Like
he's he's almost too good to be true, but not
in that creepy way, you know what I mean, Like
not like okay, you're too perfect or wrong with you oh,
like you might be.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
A psychopath or something like yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Or you may have like been, you know, researching the
perfect man things and I'm just doing that.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Like he's not that guy.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So I'm just I'm just nuts about him. But then
I found out something and I'm not sure what to
do about it. I'm not sure how I feel about it,
if that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So, you know, and especially as especially as.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
A woman like you, you're real aware of your surroundings.
And I kept getting this weird feeling that I was
being watched, and there were a couple of times I
felt like it was being followed and stuff like that.
And again especially as more.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Like you're really aware of that?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
So it psycho about that? Okay, cool, yeah, it just
it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So yeah, no, So I was talking to him about
it like you do, you know, you talk to your
partner about stuff. And it wasn't him following me, but
he actually hired like a PI, like a private investigator
to basically research me and investigate me and follow me
(01:33):
and make sure.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
That I was like, now, hold on, let's back up
a second here. Would there be any reason for him
to do this? Like I don't know are you are
you known to cheat? Are you? Has he caught you
with other men? Is there some sort of aspect of
your life that would lead him to need to know
what you're really actually doing because because he feels like
(01:57):
he doesn't or are you truly just out? You're free
and clear dating this man only this man, and he's
just that paranoid that he wanted to verify I am.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, he's it's really it's about him. And he even
said that he was like to answer your question, no,
like I haven't done anything. We had the passwords on
each other's phones, like we're both completely open books that
he got really badly burned in the past, he has
been cheated on before and like lied to, so he
(02:30):
felt like it was just a good thing to do
to just give himself peace of mind, which I thought
was kind of weird because again, we spend so much
time together when we're not at work, and like I said,
we have the passwords on each other's phones and everything,
and I've never used his because I don't I don't.
I know he's an honest person. And his thing was
we got in a big argument about it, obviously, because
(02:52):
I'm like, that's such an invasion of privacy and it
shows that you don't trust me and all that kind
of stuff. And his thing was, you know, when you're
getting ready to go out with somebody who always google
them or you try to find them on social and
figure out where you can find out, and this is
just a next logical step. That was his thing.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Somebody and then talking their Instagram or their socials or
or whatever is very different from having somebody fault. And
you know, if I'm being really honest, there's been a
time or two in my life where I'm certain that
I've been lied to or I've caught people in a
series of lives before and it's like you start to
feel crazy about yourself because these people are they're gaslighting you,
(03:30):
or they're they're telling you that things aren't happening that
are definitely happening. And so you well, I've never done it,
you know. I've been like, man, I need this for me,
like I need I know that you're lying to me,
Like you're absolutely lying to me. So I need to
know that it's true. And how would I get to
an answer like that? Well, that would be one way,
but and I'm not advising people to do that necessarily,
(03:52):
but it does happen in marriages all the time. It
happens in divorces. People have people followed to prove there's
infidelity and all kinds of other things. But that was
why I asked the question, because you're saying he has
no reason to doubt you. He's caught you in in nothing. No,
you haven't lied to him, you haven't cheated on him,
you don't have a history of this. You're free and clear.
You don't have some ex husband or X you know
(04:13):
this quote unquote X or whatever else. And so he's just.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Paranoid basically, Yeah, because he got really badly burned and
he even admitted. First of all, he gets credit for
being honest with me and not just being like, oh,
you're just you know, overreacting, nobody's following or whatever. He
owned it as soon as I asked him about it,
and he was real honest about the fact that it
really had nothing to do with me. This happened to
him in the past.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Isn't me like this is?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
This is weird and controlling and not normal at all.
And again, again I'm not even suggesting that even when
you know you're being lied to, that this is the
thing to do. But again I can also relate to
the feeling of feeling like I'm the crazy one because
things are happening that are definitely happening that are not right,
and it's like I need this for me, but that's
(05:01):
not what's happening here. So no, this is not okay.
You know, you didn't cheat on him. You're not bringing
him into some situation where he's exposed in some way
or anything else. I mean, he just the guy needs
to get over his own issues on it on his
own time and go to therapy or something and and
resolve his trust issues. But having you followed his nuts
(05:21):
after a couple of months.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He's crazy, right, yes, Like, and I'm scared about what
he'll do if you break up with him, Like if
he's doing this and you're in a relationship with him,
what he's going to do when you leave him?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh my god, I never thought about that.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh yeah, this is a psycho kilo. You gotta get
up out it. And you got some tennis shoes.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Make sure there's no h You gotta run air tags
in there either, right, your tennis shoes, your car.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Anybody that loved me this much. I don't love me
enough to invest in a private investigator. It's not that
you got you.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Got that man's password to his phone. I would start
going through it, because who knows what this guy is
hiding or whatever he's got on that phone. I mean,
if you've ever been cheated on before, then you know this.
You know the the compulsion to want to prove to
yourself that what you're feeling is real. But that's not
It doesn't mean you do it, and it certainly doesn't
mean you invade someone's privacy, and it certainly doesn't mean
(06:13):
you do it in this situation because there's nothing going
on and this is only after a couple of months.
What happens after a couple of years exactly, Tarren, I
want to take some phone calls on this because obviously
I think we all feel the same way, but let's
see if anyone else feels differently. But so he says
he's done with it now, like he came out and
told you, and so you're like, Okay, he came.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Out and told me, and he said that it's done
and that he trusts me, and he just the fact
that I brought it up to him for some reason
made him feel more secure.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I don't know, well, he's ever going to tell you
or is it just because you brought it up. I
don't like this he said.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
When he said when he had gotten information that he needed,
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
But he said when he got the information that he needed,
he was going.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
To tell me.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, that's another thing. Is I do kind of wonder
about the projection here too, Like why he's so parent,
He has no reason to be concerned whatsoever. Then why
is like, what's he doing?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah right, you're just freaking me out.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, this whole thing is strange, Karen, Thank you so much.
Have a good day and have the radio and we're
gonna talk about you behind your back now. Oh gosh, okay,
okay bye Taren eight five five three five B. I
don't like it at all. Get the straps.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Four months in you you having me followed like, I
don't know what you've collected on me or my family
or my friends or my co workers.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Like this man is.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Out of order, absolutely a violation, and she needs to leave.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And if he can't trust her just because he can't
trust her because he has issues, then he needs to
resolve those issues. Yes, and I assume she sounds like
she's telling the truth. I mean again, if she's like
I've shoot her every boyfriend I've ever had, and then
she disappears her weeks on end and does a bunch
of weird stuff, well I would just argue the dump her.
But then at the same time, I think the only
time you're doing stuff like this is if it's you know,
(08:01):
years and years and years of marriage and you've got
money and custody and all these different things tied up,
and you need to know what's really going on so
you can resolve it, you know, legally, and all these
other things. I mean you hear about it happening in
divorce cases and stuff. People you know, get followed if
they're hiding money or who knows, a whole different live,
or if they're into criminal activity. But this is this
(08:22):
na't been made for ten weeks or something. This is crazy.
Hey Don, Hi, you fighting crew out today? Good morning, don?
What do you think there?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Go? She gotta go?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
As I was telling that, I mean, what if what
if down the road she's.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Coming home from work and she's like, oh crap, I
forgot something at the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So she ends up being quote unquote five minutes late.
You know, it's an innocent stock.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
It's a PI right.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
What are you buying there?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But he's visiting the sense of another new person.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Freddie needs to talk with somebody and get over those issues.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, he needs to just go. Oh yeah you too,
Thanks for listening. Glad you called.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Robin, Hey, Brian, how are you? What do you think
stare go? Good morning listen.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I was just telling whoever answered the phone book. I
have a child, a grown child now with a true sociopath,
and this is the kind of behavior they exhibit. I
have been through things like this. I have been through
too much to even get into on the radio. Okay,
she needs to put on those shoes like I texted
(09:33):
in earlier, Kiki, and she needs to run. This is ship.
This is wrong. And if this is how he begins
a relationship, how's he going to end it? Like you said, it's.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So early for stuff like this. I mean, is it
ever too early for the crazy activity? But it's really
early for the crazy activity.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And what's concerned me on her part is that she said,
I mean, there's nothing he did that was creepy or anything.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
What right?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
This is really creepy and this is really scary and
like I mean, a legit ti like she's not moving
through her phone because he legitimately spent money to hire
someone to follow her. I don't believe a word she said.
I don't think he got burned by anybody. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Where he is? Okay, all right, fairness, that's right, Robin,
good luck to you and thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
My god, Paboca day.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Guys, this text she has that wop dude ain't trying
to share? Got it period? Right? That's want? Oh my god,
a lot of second. I want to hear both sides.
If she's got the W I meant to protect that
at all. I mean, if she's if she got it
like that, I need to make sure. I need to
know what's going on. Christy, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What do you want to say? Is there?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Go?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
What did you want to say? Christy? Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Okay, go run get out of there. That's so creepy.
I've been with my boyfriend for three years. He's also
been cheated on in the past, and I just would
never imagine him to do something like that. If he
ever did that, I would immediately break up with him.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
That's so creepy.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
And also the fact that she had to bring it
up to him first, you know, and then he was like, oh,
I'm caught. You know, he didn't rarely bring that up.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I don't think he intended. He never would have told
her if she hadn't said something, No, he would.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
He would have never told her you can. And that's
after four months dating. Like Kiki said, like, what is
he going to do a year down the line, or
like if he if she breaks up with him?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You know, this is this is psychopaths mentality.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's not good. Chrissy, thank you so much. Have a
great day. Glad you called. Sarah. This happened to you. Sarah,
what happened? So?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I dated a guy and he had an AX and
he was obsessed with her, and even into our dating period,
he was driving around looking at her house with me
in a car. It was awful. Well, he started following
me around and driving by my house and a few
(12:18):
months later then went back stalking her. It just never stopped.
And part of it was he was a huge cheater.
So maybe he's been burned. Maybe he hasn't, but you're
also having to sell skeletons in the closet.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I think she needs to run because this person is
not going to change. Yeah, insecurity issues because they're doing
it himself.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I mean, with no trigger in place. This dude's just
paranoid and maybe projecting and controlling and who knows what else.
But Sarah, thank you and I'm sorry that happened.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
You.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Have a good day you too. Somebody said, why I
hire a PI. Just do it yourself. Somebody, Yeah, just
just just doing yourself.
