Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of our podcast where we dive
into the wild world of am I the Bleephole Stories
from Reddit. It's October first, twenty twenty five, and we've
got a fresh batch of drama straight from the eight
of Subreddit. Today, we're reading seven tales that are sure
to get you thinking and maybe even gasping. These are
real posts from folks spilling their hearts out, and we'll
(00:21):
read them word for word, with a bit of commentary
along the way. Grab your coffee or tea and let's
jump right in with the first story Reddit dot com.
Am I the Bleephole for not wanting my sister to
ride along for my surgery. My parents want my sister
to ride along with us to my surgery later this week,
so one of them can take her to do something
while I'm in the ore. However, that would mean we
(00:43):
take the back seats, but in my opinion, there isn't
enough space for us to be comfortable for longer than
one hour on a good day, and it's at minimum
four hours of driving. I'm not discriminating because she's my sister.
I would feel the same if it was any of
my friends coming along. I also get antsy and cramp spaces.
If I'm already nervous, so another person definitely would only
(01:03):
make me irritable, to say the least. That's the post
from our original pull. Folks, surgery day is nerve racking
enough without feeling like a sardine in a car? I
mean for hours squeezed in the back. No thank you.
It sounds like the original poster is just trying to
keep their cool before going under the knife. What do
you think, listeners, should family trump personal space on a
(01:25):
day like that? Moving on to our second story, also
from today's Fresh Batch. Am I the bleephole for telling
the maids at home that they won't have a job.
My uncle is old and needs a maid or helpers
for himself. He retired to Mexico, but now is moving
in with my father. With how things have been, I
thought the three maids knew three days before my father
(01:46):
and I left to fly home. They were like, so
when are you leaving? I said in three days. As
for my uncle, not sure, but soon they were shocked.
I told them everything as it meant they would lose
their job. You think if I am the bleep hole
for casually saying it, or was my uncle or dad
the bleephole for not telling them much sooner as this
was planned months ago. Oh boy, delivering bad news like
(02:09):
that must have been awkward. Imagine working for someone for months,
thinking it steady, and then boom, casual drop that it's
all ending. The original poster seems to feel guilty, but honestly,
someone had to say it eventually. Commentary time I side
with the maids here. A little heads up would have
been kinder. But is the messenger really the villain? Our
(02:29):
third tale hits close to home for anyone who's felt
overlooked in their own space. Am I the bleephole for
ruining dinner by telling my dad he acts like a stranger?
In my house throw away account, I am thirty five
female and moved into a new house with my husband,
thirty nine male, eight months ago. We are first time homeowners.
Not that the finances matter, but my husband makes about
(02:51):
four to five times my salary, which is obvious when
you compare our professions. I am a public school teacher,
he is a physician. My brother, thirty eight male, and
his wife thirty one female, have been homeowners for two years.
Over the last few months, I have noticed my dad
acts very different in my house versus my brother's house.
My dad makes himself at home. Whenever he visits my
(03:13):
brother's house, he is there pretty often to watch my
brother's kids. My dad will go into the home office
and work on my brother's computer, or he will just
take a nap on the couch and so on. But
at my house he acts like a complete stranger. If
I offer him to go into the home office to
use the family computer, he will ask is your husband
okay with it? Or if my dad wants to watch
(03:35):
something like a football game, he will leave my house
to go to my brother's house because he does not
want to bother my husband. The whole family was having
dinner at my brother's house and my dad started moving
the couch around because our kids were sleeping over there.
And I just had a random thought that my dad
just feels so comfortable at my brother's house but not mine.
I brought it up in front of everyone and called
(03:56):
my dad on it and told him that stuff is
not okay, And I told him it is messed up
for him to ask me to clear things with my
husband when he is at my house. It is also
my house and I have the authority to do things
without having to run it by my husband. My dad
and brother looked at me like I'm crazy, and I
got even more pissed off. Am I the bleephole? And
(04:17):
just to mention that my husband has never been anything
but nice and respectful with my dad? Few that one stings.
Imagine building your dream home and your own dad treats
it like a hotel lobby. The original poster is clearly hurt,
and I get it. Family dynamics can be so uneven.
My take not the bleephole at all. She deserved to
speak up at dinner. It might have been the wake
(04:39):
up call everyone needed. Listeners. Have you ever felt like
the odd one out in your own family? Let's keep
the momentum going with story number four. Would I be
the bleephole if I told my sister that her ex
fiancee married someone else on the day they were supposed
to get married. My sister, late twenties, was in a
relationship with a guy for about eleven years. They got
(05:00):
engaged and had a wedding date set, but before the wedding,
she noticed a lot of red flags. She suggested counseling,
but it did not work and they broke things off.
She was heartbroken at the time, but this was about
a year and a half ago. Since then, she is
doing much better. She has even said she is glad
she did not end up marrying him, because she would
have been miserable. She also seems to have someone new
(05:23):
in her life now. Recently, I found out from my
brother that her ex fiancee actually married another woman on
the exact day that he and my sister were supposed
to get married. I have their wedding pictures too, which
came from a mutual friend. My family thinks we should
not tell her because they believe it would just hurt her.
I have kept quiet, but I cannot stop thinking about it.
(05:43):
If I were in her position, I would want to know,
not because I still cared about him, but because it
would give me closure. At the same time, maybe she
already has closure and this would just reopen old wounds.
So would I be the bleephole if I told her? Update? Wow,
thanks for the quick respects. So everyone seems to be
asking why I would want to tell her in the
(06:03):
first place. I was not going to originally, and I
still am not. I was just wondering if she would
want to know My best friend, who is also quite
close to my sister, thinks that I should, which is
what got me thinking as well. My sister seemed quite
undecided before and called him up a few times last year.
I guess my friend said, what if she calls him again?
(06:24):
We would not want her to call a married person,
as his wife is at no fault at all and
does not deserve an ex calling her husband at odd hours.
My sister would not if she knew he was married,
so this seemed to be the entire thought process behind
telling her, thinking she might take it quite well, but
if this would hurt her a lot, I would never
tell her because my sister is the priority for me.
(06:46):
She showed me a picture of him today that a
friend uploaded on a college group chat, just casually like, look,
there is an update on him. So I asked her
if she still liked him, which she said she did
not at all. Seeing her looking at that image got
me thinking if she should know that is all? There
is also the entire betrayal angle that I would directly
have to be lying to her when I feign ignorance
when she is wondering and discussing with me if he
(07:08):
left the state like she sometimes does. If she does
find out later that all of us knew and did
not tell her, it would hurt her, but she will
feel worse that I was also one of the ones
who did not tell her because we are very close.
That update adds so much layer the salt in the
wound of him marrying on their date out. But the
sibling dilemma is real. Do you protect or inform? My
(07:31):
commentary tell her gently? Closure is power, The family secret
could backfire bigger Story five is an update that tugs
at the heart strings. Update. Am I the bleephole for
moving back home after my husband left me? Even though
I am pregnant? So first off, I thought I was
clear in my first post, but the amount of helpful
(07:51):
comments who skipped over the following info was driving me insane.
I have already moved back to the Midwest, and I
already have a lawyer, So no need to tell me
to move before my baby is born or yell at
me to get a lawyer. I have done both. A
few weeks after moving out, he had filed for divorce
in California. Since I was moving and obtaining a lawyer,
(08:12):
I had not yet responded. I have an obi juayan
here in my home town and am set up to
give birth here. I have legal advice from a professional.
My ex Levi came to my place like the day
after my post. I had not been responding to him
or his friends or family and had just muted their numbers.
I got home and he was talking to my new neighbor,
(08:32):
who I have not met yet. I wanted him to stop,
so I let him come inside to talk, but also
texted my parents what was going on. Basically, he said
everything had been a mistake, he did not think everything
through enough, and that he had withdrawn his divorce petition.
He said he was fine living in my home town.
He would need time to find a job, but could
work on selling the house back west in the meantime
(08:55):
and work remote until he found a new job, kind
of acting like everything was fine. Very strange, though not
like he was on drugs. I have seen him on
drugs laugh, it has been years, but it was not
that I do not know. By the time my dad
got there, I was very upset in not thinking clearly.
His wife drove me to their house and he stayed
(09:15):
there with Levi for a bit and got him to
leave and he has been at my mom's and will
not leave town. I do not want to get too
into it. My lawyer was able to confirm he sort
of withdrew the petition, but it was either incomplete or incorrect.
His behavior has been odd. Yes, I told them I
am not talking to him unless he gets evaluated. And
I do not know if my mom wore him down
(09:36):
or what, but he agreed and has been at the
hospital all day. My mom's boyfriend has been through a
lot of this with his own son and was able
to get him into a good hospital, and I hope
we know something soon. To be honest, I am exhausted
and overwhelmed. I feel bad saying this, but I do
not want to be dealing with this right now. I
have so much going on and had already kind of
(09:57):
divorced him and started my life as a single mom.
In my head, I am not saying I am going
to stay with him, even if this is a health thing.
He has crossed so many boundaries and hurt me so
bad in just two months. But I did make a
vow that I take seriously, and before all of this.
If I told you he had done any of this,
you would think I was insane, So I am not
really sure why I am posting an update. I am
(10:18):
not religious, but I grew up Catholic, and maybe someone
who has reads this and can pray for us. I
guess they would have a more direct line to the
big Guy than me. Right now, I am not sure
what I would pray for. If he is fine, then
he is just a bleephole and I am fine divorcing him.
But if it is something more, I am so overwhelmed
at the thought of taking care of both him and
a newborn, but it would mean he has not been
(10:41):
deceiving me all these years. Sorry, it is not the
best update. Edit. I have gotten a few comments and
also want to say this. I have his phone. I
now know for a fact the woman he was seeing
was not the woman I thought. He did not meet
that woman until after he had filed for divorce, and
that she still wants to be with him. I am
(11:01):
not saying this changes anything, but people kept bringing her up.
This update is a roller coaster pregnancy plus a possibly
unstable X heartbreaking. The original poster sounds so strong yet vulnerable.
My thoughts prioritize you and baby first. Lawyer's got the
rest prayers up if that's your thing. Listeners. This one's
(11:22):
heavy onto story six, A quick but tense one OCD
boyfriend blew up at me for taking a pregnancy test wrong.
Am I the bleep whole? Hey, guys, this is not
anything major, but I really need some guidance in perspective,
as this kind of thing happens often in our otherwise
normal and loving relationship. My significant other, we will call
(11:43):
him D, is severely OCD, the obsessive thoughts and rumination type,
and I have an easily triggered gag reflex. It goes
off with my morning coffee sometimes when smoking. Often when
I feel overwhelmed or stressed, when brushing my teeth and
so on, I will just wretch once and it is gone.
Nothing major. My mom is the same and we have
always been this way. However, D is scared of having
(12:05):
children to the point of panic, and even though I
have an IUD, he will ask me to run a
test every now and again. Even though initially this offended
me as I know my body and its signals well,
we already got pregnant and terminated once before the IUD,
I happily comply for his peace of mind. Anything to
keep him calm. Now today, instead of doing my usual
(12:26):
pe into something and stick the test, and I decided
to pee directly onto the stick and did not really
get the sucker. For anyone unfamiliar with them, you cannot
really go back and rewhet them. The test is void.
This led to a whole blowout from D raised voice, blame,
you should have done it like this? How could you
mess this up? In comments of the sort, He then
said to not bother making lunch, locked himself in our
(12:49):
workshop and has not spoken to me since. I know
it seems like a silly thing to mess up, and
he is likely feeling very anxious over it, but I
feel getting angry over it, making me cry and then
stonewalling just is not the answer. He is prone to
having short lived angry spouts and sincerely apologizing afterwards. But
it feels like something I should not put up with.
(13:10):
Am I the bleephole for messing up the test? Knowing
how obsessive he is about this topic? Yikes? The anxiety
in this one is palpable. OCD is tough, but exploding
over a test not cool commentary. Not the bleephole, but
maybe couple's counseling could help navigate this. No one should
walk on eggshells in a loving relationship. Our final story
(13:31):
for today wraps up with some post breakup feels. Am
I the bleephole for not defending the girl I was
more than friends with when classmates trash talked her. So I,
twenty one male, was seeing a girl pee for about
five months. I really liked her, but things ended two
weeks ago after fights. She got mad. I talked to
girls she does not like, kept saying go with your
new friends, then ask for space. I ended it with
(13:54):
a goodbye text. Later I also found out she is
still in touch with her ex and has a long
distance thing with another guy while being with me, and yes,
I judge her for this, no regrets. Yesterday, some classmates
saw her out with a senior at usual couple spots
more judgment, They started trash talking her character in front
of me and my friend D. I did not know
(14:15):
it was about her at first because they were not
using her name, but when I realized it was about her,
still stayed quiet. I was angry, felt betrayed, and honestly
not in the right state of mind. They stopped after
two minutes. Anyway, the next day I was with D
and P's sister G. She said she felt bad that
P lied to her about where she was lying to
her own sister, but then turned on me, saying I
(14:37):
should have defended P even if we are not together,
because I was her friend. I told her we are
nothing now, but she kept insisting and said she is
disappointed in me. Now. I feel guilty. My siblings think
I was right to stay out of it, since P
is not my girlfriend or even a friend anymore, and
I should prioritize my peace. But morally, part of me
(14:57):
feels I should have stood up for staying silent, and
how do I explain to G that I just was
not in the right headspace. Break Ups are messy, and
this captures that rawch perfectly. Staying silent when hurt totally
human might take you owe yourself piece first, not X drama.
Tell G how you felt, kindly, and that's a wrap
(15:19):
on today's am I the Bleep Whole round up seven
stories packed with family feuds, X bombs and emotional whirlwinds.
Thanks for joining us listeners. If these hit home, drop
a comment on Reddit or share your own tale. Tune
in next time for more drama. Stay kind out there,
Welcome to another episode of our podcast where we dive
into the wild world of am I the Bleephole Stories
from Reddit. It's October first, twenty twenty five, and we've
got a fresh batch of drama straight from the eight
of Subreddit. Today, we're reading seven tales that are sure
to get you thinking and maybe even gasping. These are
real posts from folks spilling their hearts out, and we'll
(00:21):
read them word for word, with a bit of commentary
along the way. Grab your coffee or tea and let's
jump right in with the first story Reddit dot com.
Am I the Bleephole for not wanting my sister to
ride along for my surgery. My parents want my sister
to ride along with us to my surgery later this week,
so one of them can take her to do something
while I'm in the ore. However, that would mean we
(00:43):
take the back seats, but in my opinion, there isn't
enough space for us to be comfortable for longer than
one hour on a good day, and it's at minimum
four hours of driving. I'm not discriminating because she's my sister.
I would feel the same if it was any of
my friends coming along. I also get antsy and cramp spaces.
If I'm already nervous, so another person definitely would only
(01:03):
make me irritable, to say the least. That's the post
from our original pull. Folks, surgery day is nerve racking
enough without feeling like a sardine in a car? I
mean for hours squeezed in the back. No thank you.
It sounds like the original poster is just trying to
keep their cool before going under the knife. What do
you think, listeners, should family trump personal space on a
(01:25):
day like that? Moving on to our second story, also
from today's Fresh Batch. Am I the bleephole for telling
the maids at home that they won't have a job.
My uncle is old and needs a maid or helpers
for himself. He retired to Mexico, but now is moving
in with my father. With how things have been, I
thought the three maids knew three days before my father
(01:46):
and I left to fly home. They were like, so
when are you leaving? I said in three days. As
for my uncle, not sure, but soon they were shocked.
I told them everything as it meant they would lose
their job. You think if I am the bleep hole
for casually saying it, or was my uncle or dad
the bleephole for not telling them much sooner as this
was planned months ago. Oh boy, delivering bad news like
(02:09):
that must have been awkward. Imagine working for someone for months,
thinking it steady, and then boom, casual drop that it's
all ending. The original poster seems to feel guilty, but honestly,
someone had to say it eventually. Commentary time I side
with the maids here. A little heads up would have
been kinder. But is the messenger really the villain? Our
(02:29):
third tale hits close to home for anyone who's felt
overlooked in their own space. Am I the bleephole for
ruining dinner by telling my dad he acts like a stranger?
In my house throw away account, I am thirty five
female and moved into a new house with my husband,
thirty nine male, eight months ago. We are first time homeowners.
Not that the finances matter, but my husband makes about
(02:51):
four to five times my salary, which is obvious when
you compare our professions. I am a public school teacher,
he is a physician. My brother, thirty eight male, and
his wife thirty one female, have been homeowners for two years.
Over the last few months, I have noticed my dad
acts very different in my house versus my brother's house.
My dad makes himself at home. Whenever he visits my
(03:13):
brother's house, he is there pretty often to watch my
brother's kids. My dad will go into the home office
and work on my brother's computer, or he will just
take a nap on the couch and so on. But
at my house he acts like a complete stranger. If
I offer him to go into the home office to
use the family computer, he will ask is your husband
okay with it? Or if my dad wants to watch
(03:35):
something like a football game, he will leave my house
to go to my brother's house because he does not
want to bother my husband. The whole family was having
dinner at my brother's house and my dad started moving
the couch around because our kids were sleeping over there.
And I just had a random thought that my dad
just feels so comfortable at my brother's house but not mine.
I brought it up in front of everyone and called
(03:56):
my dad on it and told him that stuff is
not okay, And I told him it is messed up
for him to ask me to clear things with my
husband when he is at my house. It is also
my house and I have the authority to do things
without having to run it by my husband. My dad
and brother looked at me like I'm crazy, and I
got even more pissed off. Am I the bleephole? And
(04:17):
just to mention that my husband has never been anything
but nice and respectful with my dad? Few that one stings.
Imagine building your dream home and your own dad treats
it like a hotel lobby. The original poster is clearly hurt,
and I get it. Family dynamics can be so uneven.
My take not the bleephole at all. She deserved to
speak up at dinner. It might have been the wake
(04:39):
up call everyone needed. Listeners. Have you ever felt like
the odd one out in your own family? Let's keep
the momentum going with story number four. Would I be
the bleephole if I told my sister that her ex
fiancee married someone else on the day they were supposed
to get married. My sister, late twenties, was in a
relationship with a guy for about eleven years. They got
(05:00):
engaged and had a wedding date set, but before the wedding,
she noticed a lot of red flags. She suggested counseling,
but it did not work and they broke things off.
She was heartbroken at the time, but this was about
a year and a half ago. Since then, she is
doing much better. She has even said she is glad
she did not end up marrying him, because she would
have been miserable. She also seems to have someone new
(05:23):
in her life now. Recently, I found out from my
brother that her ex fiancee actually married another woman on
the exact day that he and my sister were supposed
to get married. I have their wedding pictures too, which
came from a mutual friend. My family thinks we should
not tell her because they believe it would just hurt her.
I have kept quiet, but I cannot stop thinking about it.
(05:43):
If I were in her position, I would want to know,
not because I still cared about him, but because it
would give me closure. At the same time, maybe she
already has closure and this would just reopen old wounds.
So would I be the bleephole if I told her? Update? Wow,
thanks for the quick respects. So everyone seems to be
asking why I would want to tell her in the
(06:03):
first place. I was not going to originally, and I
still am not. I was just wondering if she would
want to know My best friend, who is also quite
close to my sister, thinks that I should, which is
what got me thinking as well. My sister seemed quite
undecided before and called him up a few times last year.
I guess my friend said, what if she calls him again?
(06:24):
We would not want her to call a married person,
as his wife is at no fault at all and
does not deserve an ex calling her husband at odd hours.
My sister would not if she knew he was married,
so this seemed to be the entire thought process behind
telling her, thinking she might take it quite well, but
if this would hurt her a lot, I would never
tell her because my sister is the priority for me.
(06:46):
She showed me a picture of him today that a
friend uploaded on a college group chat, just casually like, look,
there is an update on him. So I asked her
if she still liked him, which she said she did
not at all. Seeing her looking at that image got
me thinking if she should know that is all? There
is also the entire betrayal angle that I would directly
have to be lying to her when I feign ignorance
when she is wondering and discussing with me if he
(07:08):
left the state like she sometimes does. If she does
find out later that all of us knew and did
not tell her, it would hurt her, but she will
feel worse that I was also one of the ones
who did not tell her because we are very close.
That update adds so much layer the salt in the
wound of him marrying on their date out. But the
sibling dilemma is real. Do you protect or inform? My
(07:31):
commentary tell her gently? Closure is power, The family secret
could backfire bigger Story five is an update that tugs
at the heart strings. Update. Am I the bleephole for
moving back home after my husband left me? Even though
I am pregnant? So first off, I thought I was
clear in my first post, but the amount of helpful
(07:51):
comments who skipped over the following info was driving me insane.
I have already moved back to the Midwest, and I
already have a lawyer, So no need to tell me
to move before my baby is born or yell at
me to get a lawyer. I have done both. A
few weeks after moving out, he had filed for divorce
in California. Since I was moving and obtaining a lawyer,
(08:12):
I had not yet responded. I have an obi juayan
here in my home town and am set up to
give birth here. I have legal advice from a professional.
My ex Levi came to my place like the day
after my post. I had not been responding to him
or his friends or family and had just muted their numbers.
I got home and he was talking to my new neighbor,
(08:32):
who I have not met yet. I wanted him to stop,
so I let him come inside to talk, but also
texted my parents what was going on. Basically, he said
everything had been a mistake, he did not think everything
through enough, and that he had withdrawn his divorce petition.
He said he was fine living in my home town.
He would need time to find a job, but could
work on selling the house back west in the meantime
(08:55):
and work remote until he found a new job, kind
of acting like everything was fine. Very strange, though not
like he was on drugs. I have seen him on
drugs laugh, it has been years, but it was not
that I do not know. By the time my dad
got there, I was very upset in not thinking clearly.
His wife drove me to their house and he stayed
(09:15):
there with Levi for a bit and got him to
leave and he has been at my mom's and will
not leave town. I do not want to get too
into it. My lawyer was able to confirm he sort
of withdrew the petition, but it was either incomplete or incorrect.
His behavior has been odd. Yes, I told them I
am not talking to him unless he gets evaluated. And
I do not know if my mom wore him down
(09:36):
or what, but he agreed and has been at the
hospital all day. My mom's boyfriend has been through a
lot of this with his own son and was able
to get him into a good hospital, and I hope
we know something soon. To be honest, I am exhausted
and overwhelmed. I feel bad saying this, but I do
not want to be dealing with this right now. I
have so much going on and had already kind of
(09:57):
divorced him and started my life as a single mom.
In my head, I am not saying I am going
to stay with him, even if this is a health thing.
He has crossed so many boundaries and hurt me so
bad in just two months. But I did make a
vow that I take seriously, and before all of this.
If I told you he had done any of this,
you would think I was insane, So I am not
really sure why I am posting an update. I am
(10:18):
not religious, but I grew up Catholic, and maybe someone
who has reads this and can pray for us. I
guess they would have a more direct line to the
big Guy than me. Right now, I am not sure
what I would pray for. If he is fine, then
he is just a bleephole and I am fine divorcing him.
But if it is something more, I am so overwhelmed
at the thought of taking care of both him and
a newborn, but it would mean he has not been
(10:41):
deceiving me all these years. Sorry, it is not the
best update. Edit. I have gotten a few comments and
also want to say this. I have his phone. I
now know for a fact the woman he was seeing
was not the woman I thought. He did not meet
that woman until after he had filed for divorce, and
that she still wants to be with him. I am
(11:01):
not saying this changes anything, but people kept bringing her up.
This update is a roller coaster pregnancy plus a possibly
unstable X heartbreaking. The original poster sounds so strong yet vulnerable.
My thoughts prioritize you and baby first. Lawyer's got the
rest prayers up if that's your thing. Listeners. This one's
(11:22):
heavy onto story six, A quick but tense one OCD
boyfriend blew up at me for taking a pregnancy test wrong.
Am I the bleep whole? Hey, guys, this is not
anything major, but I really need some guidance in perspective,
as this kind of thing happens often in our otherwise
normal and loving relationship. My significant other, we will call
(11:43):
him D, is severely OCD, the obsessive thoughts and rumination type,
and I have an easily triggered gag reflex. It goes
off with my morning coffee sometimes when smoking. Often when
I feel overwhelmed or stressed, when brushing my teeth and
so on, I will just wretch once and it is gone.
Nothing major. My mom is the same and we have
always been this way. However, D is scared of having
(12:05):
children to the point of panic, and even though I
have an IUD, he will ask me to run a
test every now and again. Even though initially this offended
me as I know my body and its signals well,
we already got pregnant and terminated once before the IUD,
I happily comply for his peace of mind. Anything to
keep him calm. Now today, instead of doing my usual
(12:26):
pe into something and stick the test, and I decided
to pee directly onto the stick and did not really
get the sucker. For anyone unfamiliar with them, you cannot
really go back and rewhet them. The test is void.
This led to a whole blowout from D raised voice, blame,
you should have done it like this? How could you
mess this up? In comments of the sort, He then
said to not bother making lunch, locked himself in our
(12:49):
workshop and has not spoken to me since. I know
it seems like a silly thing to mess up, and
he is likely feeling very anxious over it, but I
feel getting angry over it, making me cry and then
stonewalling just is not the answer. He is prone to
having short lived angry spouts and sincerely apologizing afterwards. But
it feels like something I should not put up with.
(13:10):
Am I the bleephole for messing up the test? Knowing
how obsessive he is about this topic? Yikes? The anxiety
in this one is palpable. OCD is tough, but exploding
over a test not cool commentary. Not the bleephole, but
maybe couple's counseling could help navigate this. No one should
walk on eggshells in a loving relationship. Our final story
(13:31):
for today wraps up with some post breakup feels. Am
I the bleephole for not defending the girl I was
more than friends with when classmates trash talked her. So I,
twenty one male, was seeing a girl pee for about
five months. I really liked her, but things ended two
weeks ago after fights. She got mad. I talked to
girls she does not like, kept saying go with your
new friends, then ask for space. I ended it with
(13:54):
a goodbye text. Later I also found out she is
still in touch with her ex and has a long
distance thing with another guy while being with me, and yes,
I judge her for this, no regrets. Yesterday, some classmates
saw her out with a senior at usual couple spots
more judgment, They started trash talking her character in front
of me and my friend D. I did not know
(14:15):
it was about her at first because they were not
using her name, but when I realized it was about her,
still stayed quiet. I was angry, felt betrayed, and honestly
not in the right state of mind. They stopped after
two minutes. Anyway, the next day I was with D
and P's sister G. She said she felt bad that
P lied to her about where she was lying to
her own sister, but then turned on me, saying I
(14:37):
should have defended P even if we are not together,
because I was her friend. I told her we are
nothing now, but she kept insisting and said she is
disappointed in me. Now. I feel guilty. My siblings think
I was right to stay out of it, since P
is not my girlfriend or even a friend anymore, and
I should prioritize my peace. But morally, part of me
(14:57):
feels I should have stood up for staying silent, and
how do I explain to G that I just was
not in the right headspace. Break Ups are messy, and
this captures that rawch perfectly. Staying silent when hurt totally
human might take you owe yourself piece first, not X drama.
Tell G how you felt, kindly, and that's a wrap

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
