Episode Transcripts
Relation It, relationship advice podcast for everyone.
Follow the relationitpodcast.com. Yo, yo,
yo, what is up, guys? My name is Jameel and we are
ready for another episode of relation it. All right.
So the question of the day is, would you be comfortable
with your girlfriend or boyfriend hanging
out with her best? Or is best friend alone without
you? So as you can read from the title of the podcast
is this guy's girlfriend is hanging out with her male.
Best friend way too much. In this guy is feeling
way too uncomfortable with it and I right, It
a couple of times just to be like, are you serious,
man? Like, you couldn't read the signs, like
you should be breaking up with her. It's crazy.
She's even spending the night at this. Dude's house.
That is crazy. And this is the type of disrespect
that you should not be accepting. But I just,
I just had to pick this out because I was guys,
we got to be smarter. We got to be smarter. We
gotta know when to be like, put her foot down
and create boundaries. It's crazy. I'm going
to start reading right now. So I started dating
this girl for Or months ago. And for the last
two, to two and a half months, she's been hanging
out with her best guy, friend, a lot. Let's call him.
See, sometimes she hangs out with him more than
me during the week, and I'm not invited whenever
they hang out. This guy has made it pretty clear
that he doesn't want to hang out with the both
of us together. They spend a lot of Fridays and
Saturdays drinking alone in his room and they
don't invite me either. Even though I live right next door.
She has stayed over in his room a few times. I
had a fight with him. Once a month ago, so he has
completely cut me off after that. When we first
started dating, the guy used to be really good
friends in even consider rooming together,
but we don't see each other anymore. I know for
a fact, they are just really good friends, but
I don't feel super comfortable with it. What
should I do in this situation? I'm 100% sure.
They are just best friends, but I still feel
uncomfortable with the idea of of her hanging
out with him so much, a man out of, I'm going to
be honest with you. You. It's all right. So it's
already over dude. She's obviously banging
in behind your back. I mean, she's literally
spending time with him alone in his room. What
the hell? Do you think they're doing other than
sleeping with each other? What playing Barbies
or painting each other's Nails? Oh, yeah, let's
paint each other's nails. Ha ha. No. Come on, man.
This chick is not your girlfriend. She doesn't
act like your girlfriend because she's hanging out.
This dude alone in his room drinking. Ah, I can't
even fathom stupidity of this guy. Do you really
believe her? Do you believe that they are good friends.
Only good friends. Bigger from my experience, man.
I've been on both sides, been on both sides.
And honestly, this guy is her friends with benefits.
She's dating the both of you. They are more than
friends there. Bang. You see. He's rearranging her guts.
Literally blowing her back out. He's like,
yeah, baby. Yeah, just like, yeah. Yeah. You
go, daddy, you go. And even if they haven't done
anything physically, I doubt that they have.
Come on, man. I think you already have lost her.
I mean, I wouldn't even try to give her another
chance because she just doesn't really have
any desire to be your girlfriend. She spends
more time with this dude. Then you and honestly,
I think that you need to break up with her. This
is this is not okay. You have to put boundaries.
It's already too late because she's already
breaking or boundaries, if you guys are exclusive
and she should already know that. She's already disrespecting.
You like that. That is just not. Okay, that's
being a horrible girlfriend and I can even say
this, even as for a boyfriend to be hanging out
with his female best friend, more than his girlfriend.
That's just not cool, especially alone at their place.
I just don't think this girl is very serious
about being in a relationship with his dude
and it's fire action. She's hanging out just
like she's dating again, you know, I might,
I may be old-fashioned. But, you know, I believe
that relationship should, you know, you shouldn't
be hanging out around your around the opposite
sex, when you're in a relationship alone at
their place. I just think that's just disrespectful.
I'm not saying that, you know, usually you shouldn't
be hanging out with the opposite sex, or you
should just be hanging out with your partner,
but they're there, just has to be boundaries.
It just doesn't seem like, she really cares
about this guy, which is really sad, but, you
know, nowadays. You don't people are, you know,
trying to be free, you know, all well, you know,
I can hang out with anybody. I want to. It's just,
it's crazy, and he has to choose between being
a controlling boyfriend, being like all well
II, don't want you to hang out with a with another
dude, and she's got a mic call. Oh, you're so
controlling your sewing can insecure. But
I mean, it's just crazy. It's really crazy.
And I think he should be, you should feel uncomfortable.
That would make me feel uncomfortable. They're
obviously banging each other. Come on, man.
They're meant unless he's a gay was, he's gay.
He's only interested in men. He's banging your girlfriend.
Then this dude, obviously, they've got into a fight.
So obviously this guy friend obviously does
likes or it has feelings for this dudes girlfriend.
It's crazy man. Yeah, I will, in my opinion,
I would break up. Break up with her. Just because
in my experience, a woman who truly respects,
her man or loves her, man would not continue
to hang out with another man. It just, it just
doesn't make any sense. She will have respect
for man, respect for herself. And there are
women out there like that, that will respect
you this you and you've only been in a relationship
with her for four months. Yeah. She's already
moved on. She probably just has not broken up
with you or with this guy because she's afraid
or something like that. You ain't just have
some self-respect for yourself. Dude. This
is, this is just crazy. But yeah, I believe this
relationships going to fail. Anyways, even
if he doesn't decide to break up with her. She's
gonna break up with him. Oh, you she's gonna
be like, oh, you know, things have just not worked
out, you know, I need to focus on myself in reality.
She's gonna be getting her back while bio dudes.
Probably, this dude? Or she'll start dating this dude.
She's already started to date this dude. Basically,
what I would do in this situation, Is communicate
with his girlfriend. Be like, hey, I'm uncomfortable
with you spending a lot of time with your guy friend.
You need a limit your time with them. It makes
me feel uncomfortable. When you spend the night with him.
When you drink with them. I know you guys are
close, but it makes me feel like I'm being left
out and if she can't really respect that, or
if she calls them insecure or I don't know what
else you'd call them. Like. Whiny. Oh, you're
insecure, you're controlling. Then he really
needs to decide if he really wants to be with
her because He's way too young to be doing with
all this drama and just trying to fix his relationship.
I mean, obviously it is affecting his relationship
with this girl. Dude. That's what I would do.
And if she can't respect that she's continues
to disrespect your boundaries, even if even
though you communicated that to her, then you
need to find a replacement break up with her.
Find a woman who truly values, you who doesn't
want to just hang. Hang out with her guy, best
friend, who obviously they're banging. They're
seeing each other. They're dating each other.
They're friends with benefits. And I know there's some.
I'd read it and some of the writer comments are
like, oh he should break up with her, you know,
you should, you know, but I'm like honestly
from my experience. She's been in a lot of time
with this dude, they're obviously more than
just friends and you're just way too young to
be dealing with all that like, oh man. I wonder
what she's doing with him right now. Hope he's
not bringing her. You're too young. Like why
deal with that? With, you can either spend your time.
Focusing on yourself, or spending time with
a woman who really cares about you and does not
spend too much time with her guy, friend. That's my conclusion.
You can follow it or not. I really pick this episode
because I just feel like it happens a lot and
you don't know what to do when this happens.
Obviously, communicate your boundaries.
It's important to voice your opinion. Communications important.
If you're can, if communicate, if you guys don't
communicate, how are you? How are you gonna
know? Obviously this is what this guy needs to do.
If he doesn't well, he's gonna continue to have
a shady relationship with his girlfriend,
and obviously is going to be worried, and it's
going to stress him out. It's going to affect
them and it's going to affect his relationship.
But if he follows this and you follow this advice,
he will honestly have either a better relationship
or he will be able to move on and let this chick
be happy with that. Whatever, she's doing.
But anyways guys, this was another great episode of relation.
