Speaker 1 (00:00):
All whistle and it's time for Ellison Bradley's Float them
or flush um What.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Here's Ellison Bradley with this morning's float them or flusham letter.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Thanks to our friends and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for this
weekly episode. Here, Dear Allison Bradley, my ex wife Crystal
is getting married in June. She and I haven't personally
seen each other since the day of our divorce in
twenty eighteen. The marriage lasted eight years, we didn't have
any children. Is one of these things where she was
my best friend from childhood growing up in packle. It
(00:38):
everyone figured we'd get married, and so we did, but
it just didn't work out. Now I got married last
summer and she kindly sent me a message on Facebook.
Yes we're still friends. There he puts in parentheses congratulating me.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Like I said, she's getting married in June. And a
few days ago, I was taken out the trash and
inside the kitchen garbage can was a wedding invitation that
she had sent to my wife and me. It really
upset me, but I gave it a beat. I wiped
off the invitation and stuck it away in a drawer
and Just yesterday, I told my wife Lisa that I
(01:15):
had heard that my ex was getting married, just to
see how she'd respond, and she said, oh, that's wonderful,
good for her. But this was the same woman who
tossed the invitation in the trash. So I confronted her
and told her about the wedding invitation that I had found.
She didn't apologize. In fact, things got kind of loud,
and it ended with me telling her that I was
(01:35):
going to my ex's wedding with or without her, and
she said, you do you, Eddie, but I'm not going,
and he kind of left it at that. So I
imagine Eddie's asking us, should he float the idea of
going to his ex's wedding even though his wife isn't going,
or flush it and just say, hey, they haven't.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It, you know, the fact they haven't seen each other
in so.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Long eight years?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, why would you go? Why would you go? Why
would you risk upsetting your wife? I don't think marriage
and divorce? He does go, but it's going to be
an ugly point in their marriage. Why do you do that? Eddie?
Let you should have left the thing in the garden
when you saw the invitation of the garbage. You knew
how she felt. You know now, she probably should have
told you about it and all that stuff. But no, Eddie,
I think you but at.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Home and through the lens of Eddie. I think he
kind of sees this x of his Crystal a childhole friend.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I get all that, and knew once you married her.
You know, I got a lot of childhood friends I
did not marry Eddie.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Don't do it, man, don't do it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Then over Facebook and leave it alone. I'm a little
bit torn here because the wife shouldn't have lied and
thrown them away. And just because she didn't tell him
doesn't mean she didn't lie. I think I probably go
just because.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm vindictives that way about something I spoke to me
about it.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
We could have discussed it, but you didn't, So I'm
going no.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But see, vindiction does not work in marriages that well.
Sometimes you've just got up country. Who's going I get?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
I know.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I think he should flush that plan. I think he
was right to confront her and just say, hey, I
saw that you threw that invitation away. I think he
should consider her feelings if they hadn't been in contact
in eight years. Most women wouldn't even want them to
be friends.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
You know, he kind of tricked her a little bit,
but not saying he found it. You know, he should
like exactly like him said, you should have went there,
but yeah, but he should, and he acts like he
didn't know it and hit it, and then.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
He's you're there getting married, and he goes, oh, I'm
so glad.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Games are not working marriages. We know this. Oh, I
know that games don't work. I know that you got
to go. Hey, I found this. She should have told him.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Yes, yeah, I think I think he should have let
her know that. You know, hey, you can trust me
to let me see something like this. Don't hide things
from me. But if you didn't want to go, I
wasn't going to go anyway. So the fact that he
wants to go is a little concerning.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I said, he's to flush that thing is the past
in the past, and he needs to focus on the
insecurities of his current wife to see what's going on
there that she was willing to throw it away instead
of having a conversation with him.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think he probably should go. I mean, the lady's
an ex for a reason. However, my biggest thief is
the current wife. That was absolutely wrong in my opinion.
I mean, he shouldn't go, he should go.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Why she would have seen him in station.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Right, That's that's where the problem is.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, like I said, she's trying to get a blender
out of the.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Take hope, get where. She's probably right about that and
even maybe let me.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Cause a little bit of trouble and the current Yeah there, right,
I've been there forty six years. Wow, I'm married my
husband at seventeen. It doesn't quite work.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Like that, Okay, And look, I'm pretty good.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
At having my husband understand my decision and and he
he at some point feels the same way, whether he
near it in the beginning or not. You're right, You're right,
you should you have told him.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I just have to say that that is a bad
idea to go to that wedding. And if he went, he.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Would have two X wives because we would be.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Done, because there is no reason to keep in touch
with the X in any way unless you have children
can use to flush that idea, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
More comments from the letter that we have posted on
the Ellis Abrawdi facebook page. Vs. Mast says flush. Why
would you even think that's okay? He should put himself
in her shoes? Why would the ex send and invite anyway?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's what we want to know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
There's a lot of flush in there, Eddie. You know
you've heard from our listeners. Here. Here's what we say
about your plan of going to your ex's wedding without
your wife. It is a plush, your buddy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, you think you and even the people that said
that they would go, it's because they just hand exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Either way, We'll keep the conversation going and again the
letters on the Ellis Abrawdi Facebook page. And thanks to
our friends at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with another episode of
Ellison Brownie's flow toward plush and love.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
You guys, are.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
They for real?
