Latest / THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP / Why So Many Men Are In Unhappy Marriages
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: When we purchased the Julian Price house, they told us
- 0:03Speaker 1: that we'd not only get the house, but that we
- 0:06Speaker 1: were gonna get the house and the hoarder.
- 0:07Speaker 2: I don't mean to be really blunt. This is no
- 0:10Speaker 2: longer your home. All the stuff must leave this house.
- 0:14Speaker 3: You have every right to look at all of this
- 0:16Speaker 3: and say, my God, you're a hoarder. But the truth is,
- 0:20Speaker 3: I do not perceive myself as a hoarder.
- 0:23Speaker 1: So we can throw that container away with the sand
- 0:26Speaker 1: in it?
- 0:26Speaker 3: No.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Why not? Can we throw the sand away?
- 0:30Speaker 3: No.
- 0:32Speaker 2: I think it's important that people understand what is required
- 0:35Speaker 2: to effectively solve serious problems in a relationship, and more importantly,
- 0:40Speaker 2: how the government has made that impossible in a marriage.
- 0:43Speaker 2: The reason men are moving away from marriage is not
- 0:46Speaker 2: because of irrational fear. It's because there's no possible recourse
- 0:50Speaker 2: in the event that the relationship goes south because of
- 0:53Speaker 2: what the woman is doing. Women have recourse on men,
- 0:56Speaker 2: but men don't have it for women. and in order
- 0:58Speaker 2: for there to be a power balance, both sides have
- 1:01Speaker 2: to be able to instill consequences if the other side
- 1:04Speaker 2: is behaving inappropriately. Otherwise, both parties will be unhappy. No
- 1:09Speaker 2: woman is happy being married to a pushover, and no
- 1:11Speaker 2: man is happy about being bossed around all the time
- 1:14Speaker 2: because he's afraid of family court. This episode of Hoarders
- 1:18Speaker 2: is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. It
- 1:20Speaker 2: follows a gay couple who purchase a four-story, 31-room house
- 1:24Speaker 2: in Greensboro, NC, that was foreclosed on by the bank.
- 1:29Speaker 2: They were able to buy this mansion for only $ 400, 000
- 1:32Speaker 2: because they agreed to deal with the squatter who was
- 1:34Speaker 2: in the house. The squatter, Sandra, was a formerly successful
- 1:38Speaker 2: interior designer who bought so much crap that she filled
- 1:41Speaker 2: up every room of the 31-room house and every hallway.
- 1:46Speaker 2: This episode was so ridiculous that I almost would think
- 1:48Speaker 2: it's fake, but my late aunt was a hoarder, and
- 1:51Speaker 2: after she died, my family spent two weeks removing all
- 1:54Speaker 2: the garbage out of her apartment. There was literally trash everywhere.
- 1:59Speaker 2: And it's the same with Sandra. She is literally collecting garbage.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Wayne, can you set this.
- 2:04Speaker 3: In the wagon? It's just heavy. I'm afraid I'll trip.
- 2:08Speaker 3: It's a rock. Yeah, I know. You're on the same rock.
- 2:12Speaker 3: That needs to go with me to the car to
- 2:16Speaker 3: wash and use to.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Clean up with.
- 2:21Speaker 2: VHS tapes, CDs, plastic pulls for children, bent trading cards,
- 2:26Speaker 2: and broken furniture that people left on the street. It's
- 2:29Speaker 2: almost like she's lived 40 years without ever taking out
- 2:32Speaker 2: the trash. But anyway, the reason Sandra is being evicted
- 2:36Speaker 2: is because she refinanced the house a bunch of times
- 2:39Speaker 2: and then didn't pay her mortgage for like five years.
- 2:42Speaker 3: She's remained there for about three years fighting the various foreclosures,
- 2:46Speaker 3: which is pretty extraordinary, actually. That's a heck of a fight.
- 2:50Speaker 3: My goal is to have the legal system invalidate the foreclosure.
- 3:01Speaker 3: If it gets invalidated, then that puts me back as
- 3:05Speaker 3: the real owner of the house, which is.
- 3:07Speaker 2: What I want. Sandra ran up over $ 2 million of
- 3:11Speaker 2: debt and tried to get the loan invalidated. She did
- 3:14Speaker 2: this on the premise that the banks were bailed out
- 3:15Speaker 2: in 2008, so she wanted the taxpayers to bail out
- 3:18Speaker 2: $ 2 million of her irresponsibility and kick out the new
- 3:22Speaker 2: owners of the house. This is despite the fact that
- 3:24Speaker 2: she thinks it's perfectly fine to own a $ 6, 000 to $ 10, 000 desk.
- 3:27Speaker 2: And listen to me. It's a $ 6, 000 desk, a $ 10, 000 desk,
- 3:28Speaker 2: and it is insane to let those get away. Obviously,
- 3:39Speaker 2: she should have sold that when she got into financial troubles,
- 3:42Speaker 2: but Sandra has decided that she cares way more about
- 3:45Speaker 2: material garbage than she cares about her well-being or even
- 3:48Speaker 2: her family.
- 3:49Speaker 3: I'm Earl. I'm Sandra's brother.
- 3:52Speaker 2: You don't want to throw any of this away. Why
- 3:55Speaker 2: are you wasting your effort when you could let these
- 3:58Speaker 2: folks that are here to help you carry this stuff
- 4:01Speaker 2: out of your past?
- 4:02Speaker 4: So you understand.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Earl, stop it!
- 4:04Speaker 3: Okay. Now!
- 4:06Speaker 4: I am not a friggin' idiot and I understand.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Every bit of it!
- 4:10Speaker 2: Listen to how she speaks to her brother. Her brother
- 4:13Speaker 2: who has taken three days out of his life to
- 4:15Speaker 2: help her clean so that she can keep some of
- 4:17Speaker 2: her stuff. She's not grateful at all for that. She
- 4:20Speaker 2: would much rather have him gone so she can sleep
- 4:22Speaker 2: in her pile of garbage. She even cared more about
- 4:25Speaker 2: that house than she did her own husband.
- 4:28Speaker 3: In 1979, somebody approached my husband wanting to buy the
- 4:34Speaker 3: house and tear it down. And he says, well, if
- 4:37Speaker 3: you love me, you'll do it. I went, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 4:40Speaker 3: If you love me, you won't ask me to do it.
- 4:44Speaker 3: So he left.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Now, you have to be careful when you listen, because
- 4:51Speaker 2: manipulative people will often leave out important details of the
- 4:54Speaker 2: story to make it look like they're on the right.
- 4:57Speaker 2: the reality is that her husband didn't just out of
- 5:00Speaker 2: nowhere ask her to agree to sell the house. Judging
- 5:03Speaker 2: by the way she handles her finances, they were probably
- 5:05Speaker 2: deeply in debt, and the husband, as a responsible adult,
- 5:09Speaker 2: was trying to sell the house to pay off that debt.
- 5:11Speaker 2: She ended up choosing the house instead of him. I
- 5:14Speaker 2: don't know what their exact situation was with the marriage,
- 5:17Speaker 2: but to every other man who is married, that's pretty
- 5:20Speaker 2: much it. If a woman decides she's not going to
- 5:23Speaker 2: budge on an issue, even if it's her being a
- 5:25Speaker 2: drug addict, She has complete power, and what she says goes.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Because if she doesn't get her way, then she can
- 5:32Speaker 2: own half your stuff. She can garnish your wages for
- 5:34Speaker 2: child support and alimony. She can lie and say you
- 5:37Speaker 2: abused her, and while she's at that, she can use
- 5:39Speaker 2: the kids as human shields. This is why men back
- 5:42Speaker 2: down when their wives are abusing them and stay in
- 5:44Speaker 2: unhappy marriages. They know the consequences of the contract they've signed.
- 5:49Speaker 2: If you are having a serious conversation where you're discussing
- 5:52Speaker 2: problems in the relationship, and she starts calling you stupid,
- 5:55Speaker 2: talking about how much better of a person she is,
- 5:57Speaker 2: I do everything for you, you do nothing for me,
- 6:01Speaker 2: or she starts screaming, then that's pretty much it. The
- 6:03Speaker 2: argument's over.
- 6:04Speaker 3: She wins.
- 6:05Speaker 2: There are no consequences you can give in response to
- 6:07Speaker 2: her abuse because she can just ruin you in family court.
- 6:11Speaker 2: You are defenseless as a man. And you have to understand,
- 6:14Speaker 2: a person like Sandra or a woman who is set
- 6:17Speaker 2: in her ways will never ever be convinced with words
- 6:20Speaker 2: that she has a problem.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Sandra feels that Bank of America never had a clear
- 6:27Speaker 3: lean against the home.
- 6:28Speaker 1: In a conversation with one of Sandra's brothers, it was
- 6:31Speaker 1: brought to my attention that she was considering continuing her
- 6:35Speaker 1: legal battle to regain possession of the house.
- 6:38Speaker 3: She's still hoping that that court No. So?
- 6:44Speaker 1: We purchased the house legally, and we're doing all of
- 6:46Speaker 1: this to benefit her. We do not want to drag
- 6:49Speaker 1: our family through this. We do not want to incur
- 6:51Speaker 1: additional legal expenses.
- 6:52Speaker 4: We want to keep these crates.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull the plug on this entire process if
- 6:57Speaker 1: she's gonna go ahead.
- 6:58Speaker 3: With the lawsuit. I'm asking the bank to admit they
- 7:09Speaker 3: had no intention right to foreclose or sell the property.
- 7:13Speaker 3: That's what I'm asking for.
- 7:15Speaker 1: But if you win that, you've essentially undone everything that's
- 7:18Speaker 1: been done.
- 7:19Speaker 3: We have a trial in February 27, and I go
- 7:24Speaker 3: to court Wednesday.
- 7:25Speaker 1: You've just cost me $ 200, 000 in legal fees.
- 7:27Speaker 3: For what?
- 7:29Speaker 1: To defend myself.
- 7:30Speaker 3: To now go to the bank and defend themselves. Only
- 7:33Speaker 3: if you want to do that.
- 7:34Speaker 1: So I would have bought a house that I no
- 7:36Speaker 1: longer own, that you've just as potentially taken back. We've
- 7:40Speaker 1: brought all of this in here to help you.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Sold it for you so you have money.
- 7:44Speaker 4: He's trying to maneuver me into positions that will keep
- 7:49Speaker 4: him where he is right now, that the house is
- 7:52Speaker 4: his and me out of here in two more days.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I guess we're not saying it clear enough. Like, maybe
- 7:57Speaker 1: it needs to come out of your mouth.
- 7:58Speaker 3: This has to end.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Despite that she made a bunch of terrible choices with money,
- 8:03Speaker 2: despite that her house was purchased by someone else after
- 8:06Speaker 2: it foreclosed, despite the fact that these guys were nice
- 8:10Speaker 2: enough to allow her to keep her stuff, even though
- 8:12Speaker 2: they owned it, they allowed her to keep her stuff,
- 8:15Speaker 2: pick out the things she wanted, sell the really valuable
- 8:18Speaker 2: stuff at auction for her, and she's still trying to
- 8:21Speaker 2: sue to keep the house. She's perfectly fine with costing
- 8:24Speaker 2: the owners, Eric and Michael, hundreds of thousands of dollars...
- 8:27Speaker 2: when they are trying to help her. They could have
- 8:30Speaker 2: just thrown all of her stuff in the trash. Why
- 8:32Speaker 2: is she treating them like that? Because she's getting what
- 8:35Speaker 2: she wants. The only way to get her to listen
- 8:38Speaker 2: is to take that away, which they did. They threatened
- 8:41Speaker 2: to tell the workers to trash all of her stuff
- 8:44Speaker 2: instead of letting her keep it or sell it. Now,
- 8:46Speaker 2: with a marriage, a man can't do that. If she
- 8:50Speaker 2: is a drug addict or a hoarder and she can
- 8:52Speaker 2: lie well enough, then she can get the courts to
- 8:54Speaker 2: force you to pay for her addiction instead claiming it's
- 8:57Speaker 2: for the children. As a man, you can't say no.
- 9:01Speaker 2: The government forces you with alimony and child support to
- 9:04Speaker 2: enable an abuser. I mean, look how bad this all is.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Look how little she cares about other people. She had
- 9:11Speaker 2: three days to remove all the stuff off the property.
- 9:14Speaker 2: After the second day, she stayed up all night so
- 9:17Speaker 2: she could pull all the items they threw into the
- 9:19Speaker 2: dumpster and put them out in the street so it
- 9:22Speaker 2: would be off the property line. And that created a blockade.
- 9:26Speaker 2: She had nowhere to take it, and I fully believe
- 9:28Speaker 2: that she intended to leave this stuff there on the
- 9:30Speaker 2: street and camp in front of it in her van.
- 9:34Speaker 2: This is about finding you housing and making you some money.
- 9:38Speaker 2: What's the most important thing to you?
- 9:39Speaker 3: I don't have a need for housing at all. May
- 9:42Speaker 3: we please take that off?
- 9:43Speaker 2: No, you do. You live in that van right there.
- 9:46Speaker 2: You do have an issue for me. Does she think
- 9:48Speaker 2: people want that? Does she, as an interior designer, think
- 9:51Speaker 2: that people want a homeless lady in a car full
- 9:54Speaker 2: of trash? with two dogs and a pile of garbage
- 9:57Speaker 2: behind her camping out in front of a half a
- 9:59Speaker 2: million dollar home? Does she think the neighbors want that? Well,
- 10:03Speaker 2: they didn't because one of them called the police and
- 10:06Speaker 2: that phone call resulted in the most gratifying scene in
- 10:10Speaker 2: this episode of Hoarders. She had until 4 p.m. to
- 10:13Speaker 2: remove all the stuff off the street and she missed
- 10:15Speaker 2: it by a lot. So the city took their little
- 10:18Speaker 2: claw and crushed her crap as they lifted it into
- 10:21Speaker 2: a dumpster. Let's watch.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Couches, pictures, vases, picking them up and dropping them into
- 10:32Speaker 1: trucks and smashing them.
- 10:35Speaker 2: People on the show seem to be upset about it,
- 10:37Speaker 2: but I thought it was a very fitting punishment for
- 10:40Speaker 2: the harm she caused the owners of the house and
- 10:42Speaker 2: society with her frivolous lawsuits. Now, Sandra didn't start out
- 10:46Speaker 2: like this. She was a top-tier designer where at one
- 10:50Speaker 2: point people would wait two years to have their houses
- 10:53Speaker 2: designed by her. Then she got sued by one of
- 10:55Speaker 2: her customers for doing a botched job. After the lawsuit,
- 10:58Speaker 2: she probably got into financial trouble because she lost her business.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Her husband wanted to sell the house, but she refused,
- 11:05Speaker 2: so her husband left her. From there, she just kept
- 11:07Speaker 2: spiraling more and more downward with no one keeping her
- 11:10Speaker 2: in check. Even though Sandra is a severe case, The
- 11:14Speaker 2: reality is that with enough trauma and with enough loss,
- 11:17Speaker 2: anybody can do some pretty self-destructive things. When those people
- 11:20Speaker 2: start down that path, the only way to get them
- 11:23Speaker 2: to stop is to begin removing your support and begin
- 11:26Speaker 2: removing your attention. The only time Sandra ever listened to
- 11:29Speaker 2: anyone in that episode was because people gave her negative
- 11:32Speaker 2: consequences for not listening. Look at it this way. She
- 11:36Speaker 2: remained in a house that she wasn't paying for for
- 11:38Speaker 2: five years. She only left that house when the police
- 11:42Speaker 2: forced her off the property after it was sold. She
- 11:45Speaker 2: threatened to continue the frivolous lawsuit to keep the house,
- 11:48Speaker 2: but stopped when the new owners threatened to throw her
- 11:50Speaker 2: stuff in the garbage. She intended to leave all of
- 11:53Speaker 2: her crap on the street and only stressed herself to
- 11:56Speaker 2: move it because the city came with big machines and
- 11:58Speaker 2: destroyed any crap that was left on the street. No
- 12:01Speaker 2: amount of rational conversation is going to change these people.
- 12:05Speaker 2: So if you are in a marriage where your wife
- 12:06Speaker 2: is out of line, there is nothing you can do.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Let's say she wastes all the grocery money on a
- 12:12Speaker 2: new handbag. What are you going to do? You can't
- 12:16Speaker 2: withdraw financial support. That's financial abuse. And if you piss
- 12:19Speaker 2: her off enough, she can just divorce you and have
- 12:22Speaker 2: the government force you to pay her. This is why
- 12:25Speaker 2: so many marriages are in the toilet and why so
- 12:27Speaker 2: many men are unhappy. And by the way, without these
- 12:30Speaker 2: checks and balances, the women aren't happy either. Do you
- 12:32Speaker 2: think Sandra is happy going unchecked, letting her life spiral
- 12:36Speaker 2: out of control?
- 12:36Speaker 3: No.
- 12:38Speaker 2: She is a former aristocrat who is now homeless living
- 12:41Speaker 2: in a van. A van filled with everything, therefore nothing
- 12:44Speaker 2: is valuable. Look at those crazy eyes she makes. Look
- 12:47Speaker 2: at how she treats people. She is miserable. She got
- 12:51Speaker 2: sued once a couple decades ago, lost her business, broke
- 12:54Speaker 2: up her marriage, and then just gave up. If you're
- 12:58Speaker 2: in a marriage where your wife gives up, then there
- 13:00Speaker 2: is literally nothing you can do except prepare for financial disaster.
- 13:04Speaker 2: It's really kind of sad. I've watched several men in
- 13:07Speaker 2: my life go through it. Recently, I watched one of
- 13:09Speaker 2: them gain a good 100 pounds in the past year
- 13:12Speaker 2: because of the stress his crazy wife puts on him.
- 13:14Speaker 2: And there is nothing he can do to make it
- 13:16Speaker 2: better because she refuses to do anything and he knows
- 13:20Speaker 2: she will financially destroy him if he creates consequences for
- 13:23Speaker 2: her bad behavior. But honestly, if we allow things to
- 13:27Speaker 2: get bad enough, any one of us can become like
- 13:29Speaker 2: the hoarder in this episode. Any one of us can
- 13:32Speaker 2: be thrown into a downward spiral. Maybe some of you
- 13:34Speaker 2: have been there And maybe some of you are there
- 13:37Speaker 2: right now. You certainly have a good excuse. A lot
- 13:40Speaker 2: of people have lost their jobs because of the Chinese flu.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I've read many comments from people who just want to
- 13:45Speaker 2: throw in the towel and give up. But I think
- 13:48Speaker 2: of it this way. There are plenty of people out
- 13:50Speaker 2: there who have survived way worse. I recently listened to
- 13:54Speaker 2: a story that's linked in the description on the Jocko
- 13:56Speaker 2: Willink podcast about a woman, Rose Schindler, who survived Auschwitz
- 14:00Speaker 2: as a teenager. Both of her parents died. All of
- 14:04Speaker 2: her brothers were murdered. All she had left of her
- 14:07Speaker 2: family of 11 were her two older sisters and a
- 14:10Speaker 2: few pieces of jewelry. She made it, and she's still
- 14:13Speaker 2: alive today. I mean, I'll take unemployment over that any day.
- 14:17Speaker 2: People have survived a lot worse. Don't allow the stress
- 14:21Speaker 2: of this situation to make you weak. There are ways
- 14:24Speaker 2: around your situation, and there are ways to ensure that
- 14:26Speaker 2: this doesn't happen again with you. Maybe this crisis was
- 14:30Speaker 2: the wake-up call you needed to get your life in order.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Imagine that if instead of facing this living paycheck to paycheck,
- 14:36Speaker 2: you had three to six months of your living expenses
- 14:38Speaker 2: saved up. Great. Have a nice little vacation. Watch some Netflix.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Play some video games. Read a book. Who cares? You're
- 14:45Speaker 2: doing fine. If you didn't do that this time, make
- 14:49Speaker 2: sure you're ready for the next time. Or think of
- 14:52Speaker 2: it this way. Maybe losing your job was just what
- 14:55Speaker 2: you needed to take a chance at something better. A
- 14:57Speaker 2: lot of people get complacent, they get comfortable, and they
- 15:00Speaker 2: just sit where they are. This could be a good thing.
- 15:03Speaker 2: So instead of giving up, think of ways out. Otherwise,
- 15:07Speaker 2: you'll end up miserable like Sandra. But if you sit down,
- 15:10Speaker 2: you focus on it, you think about it, you put
- 15:12Speaker 2: all of your attention towards it, you get frustrated about it,
- 15:16Speaker 2: you're going to think of something. There are plenty of
- 15:18Speaker 2: things out there for you. Give it time, and you'll
- 15:21Speaker 2: figure it out. But that's enough for this video. If
