SPEAKER_00: Five stories today.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: We got five stories on Reddit on Reddit.
2:20
SPEAKER_00: The third one, without further ado, let's get into it.
2:24
SPEAKER_00: Let's go with uh start with one rap 9524 titled Husband Wants an Open Relationship.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: We go on to read, we've been married for a few years and have dabbled into swapping and talking to other people online.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: I'm struggling with this with him dating other people and have no idea how to navigate my emotions.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: I feel like he's hiding things from me.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: I don't under I don't question my intuition anymore, but I'm hoping someone has some insight on this.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: I decided I do not want anything to do with another person on my end.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: However, he keeps trying to talk me into letting him have his way.
3:06
SPEAKER_00: Just because you assure me you love me doesn't mean I don't feel like like the backup person.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: There's a history of cheating too, so there's that.
3:15
SPEAKER_00: He went on a date recently and I think and I think and I think did okay.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: I think I did okay, not me, that's her.
3:23
SPEAKER_00: However, my brain wanted to try and tell me he was doing other things.
3:27
SPEAKER_00: Bottom line, husband wants to free to date and have sex relations with other people, even if I choose not to do the same.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: Ladies and gentlemen, this is this this is what we call a super red flag, right?
3:45
SPEAKER_00: They've been married a couple years, said a few years, didn't give us a time a timeline on this.
3:50
SPEAKER_00: But he's already thinking, hey, let's get out there and start doing other things.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: Now, my thing is once you once you're married, that that that's the end.
4:00
SPEAKER_00: That's the that's the end game, right?
4:02
SPEAKER_00: You shouldn't be wanting to do that with other people.
4:06
SPEAKER_00: But I guess you know, each is own.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: I'm not judging.
4:08
SPEAKER_00: Like I always say, it's 2022.
4:11
SPEAKER_00: Girls can have man parts, man can have girl parts, girls can be born boys, boys can be born girls.
4:16
SPEAKER_00: You can't judge anymore.
4:17
SPEAKER_00: You can't judge anymore by by people, by what they look like on the outside.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: That's what let's count on the inside.
4:24
SPEAKER_00: Baby girl, this is what you do.
4:25
SPEAKER_00: You leave your freaky eight freaky butt husband.
4:30
SPEAKER_00: He's he's wanting to do it, he's encouraging you to do it.
4:34
SPEAKER_00: What's my here's my thing.
4:36
SPEAKER_00: It's the way I picture it, right?
4:37
SPEAKER_00: So let's say you got something to eat and you love eating steak.
4:40
SPEAKER_00: I love steak.
4:41
SPEAKER_00: Steak's my favorite, my favorite steak, and guess what?
4:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm not sharing my favorite steak with anyone.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: That's the way you gotta take this mentality.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: You cannot be shared.
4:52
SPEAKER_00: Because if you're sharing something, that means you're willing to share you you don't love that steak as if if you're willing to share.
5:01
SPEAKER_00: I'ma eat my steak.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: It's my steak, I'm eating that.
5:04
SPEAKER_00: No, thank you.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: And he's already and he's already trying to get you to do it.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: There's already there's there's the super red flag.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: It's time for you to move on and find somebody that's willing to love you for you.
5:16
SPEAKER_00: Drop this dude, husband, turn him to ex-hub, ex-husband, and move on.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: That's one.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: Number two, I shouldn't read these.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
5:34
SPEAKER_00: Number two is by appropriate C9243.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: My boyfriend 21 with ED would do anything for us, but I don't know what I want.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: She goes on.
5:49
SPEAKER_00: In short, my boyfriend of two years since the beginning of this relationship has had a psychological ED.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: You guys gotta look up what ED is.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: It's not hard.
5:59
SPEAKER_00: We tried to work on it many times and would get better on and off.
6:04
SPEAKER_00: During the whole relationship, we would have cheese usually once a month, and it wouldn't be good.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: This month, I'm considered breaking up.
6:15
SPEAKER_00: I talked to my boyfriend that I'm considering breaking up.
6:18
SPEAKER_00: Both are very touched by this discussion.
6:21
SPEAKER_00: He expressed that he loves me and doesn't want to lose me.
6:24
SPEAKER_00: He said that he will do anything for us and will make this work.
6:29
SPEAKER_00: This made this made me have a bit of hope for us.
6:32
SPEAKER_00: I left last night considering if I want to end it.
6:35
SPEAKER_00: Since then, I've been very confused.
6:37
SPEAKER_00: On one hand, I think I might regret not giving us one last chance.
6:40
SPEAKER_00: On the other end, on the other hand, I don't see us working out.
6:44
SPEAKER_00: Since we haven't had cheese in the last three months, I feel awkward about it.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: Kind of don't want to do it with him at this point.
6:54
SPEAKER_00: When I'm think when I'm trying to think again, when I'm trying- I'm sorry, when I when I think of trying again and start to think of other personal traits, personality traits I don't like about him.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: But other times I start thinking about our relationship, how good it has been to me, how much we love each other, I rethink things.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I'm afraid that that outside opinions affect my choices, and I can't think for myself.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: Other times I think he that he f he's fighting for us, and it's the reason I'm trying to fix things, even though maybe I don't want to.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm excited for a new start, but I'm afraid that I will I don't know, sacrifice the relationship, in relationship, da da da da.
7:39
SPEAKER_00: Cut it off.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: It's a screenshot.
7:41
SPEAKER_00: I didn't get the last part.
7:42
SPEAKER_00: But let's let's look at the numbers real quick.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: She said we haven't had cheese in three months.
7:54
SPEAKER_00: I wonder why.
7:55
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not trying to laugh at the man's misfortunes, but the man's 21.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: 21.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: You should be I I I can only speak for when I'm twenty-one, you should be like, hey, let's do it.

9:55
SPEAKER_00: The next one.
9:57
SPEAKER_00: By uh, let's call it At Trav.
10:01
SPEAKER_00: Titled Question for the Guys.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: Hi.
10:05
SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to ask this.
10:07
SPEAKER_00: So I really recently asked my friends opinion on what they think I'm single, on why they think I'm single.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: They all say that it's because I have a strong personality and already independent.
10:20
SPEAKER_00: And it left me wondering: do guys my age, 27, prefer girls being dependent on dependent on them, being dependent on them.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: Why is why does being independent and having strong personality can be as can be seen as a disadvantage?
10:36
SPEAKER_00: Note, with strong personality doesn't mean I I go about my day being a Karen or whatever.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: I'm harmless.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: So basically, this woman is a strong independent woman.
10:48
SPEAKER_00: And some men can't handle that.
10:50
SPEAKER_00: Let's be real.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: If you if a man sees a woman who, hey, got her own stuff, gets her together, what am I there?
10:59
SPEAKER_00: What do I what do I need to be there for?
11:01
SPEAKER_00: Some men cannot see that and be like, that's something I want.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: When in turn, you should want something like that, right?
11:09
SPEAKER_00: You want someone that can function by themselves, right?
11:14
SPEAKER_00: You want someone that is dependent on themselves, that don't need no help from nobody, don't need no help from their mama, don't need no help from their friend, don't need no help at all.
11:23
SPEAKER_00: You want someone that is settled, that is on solid ground, just like you are, right?
11:29
SPEAKER_00: And some men don't even have that themselves.
11:31
SPEAKER_00: Some men are still stuck on the mommy's teeth, and they still can't be dependent on themselves.
11:38
SPEAKER_00: So why would they want an independent woman?
11:40
SPEAKER_00: They can't handle that.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: That is true.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: Now I do ask, are you above a five?
11:47
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you could be ugly.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, because there's no picture attached.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: Because you could be saying, I'm independent, I got my own, but I'm butt ugly too.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: So you could be butt ugly.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: But uh the vibes I'm getting from reading this, I don't think so.
12:01
SPEAKER_00: I just think you are a challenge to most men, and most men will not accept that challenge.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: So uh keep doing you.
12:08
SPEAKER_00: Uh at Trav.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: You're doing a good thing.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: Stay independent.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: But you ain't no Karen.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: That's that's ridiculous.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: This one's from Historical Cut 3349.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: Where did I get these names from?
12:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay, she goes on to say, after being together for eight years, seven years married, my oh, he says, I'm sorry.
12:36
SPEAKER_00: He says, let me start again.
12:39
SPEAKER_00: He says, after being met together for eight years, seven years married, my wife all of a sudden wants some space.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: Says she doesn't love me anymore, she needs to find herself, doesn't know what she wants.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: Prior to this, we got married.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: She was only 20 and I was 24.
12:52
SPEAKER_00: She realized she could do things that she wasn't able to do before.
12:56
SPEAKER_00: Like she said, I'm sorry, like she said, feels like she wasn't herself when we when she's around me.
13:04
SPEAKER_00: Recently, she started joining rave parties, concerts, and taking drugs, i.e.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Molly and LSD or acid.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: Now, after being in three raves, I confronted her and she started talking sh about our relationship, and that's when we don't, and that's when we don't talk anymore.
13:22
SPEAKER_00: She moved out of the house.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: What's the problem here?
13:27
SPEAKER_00: What's the problem here, bruh?
13:29
SPEAKER_00: Eight years married, seven or eight years together, seven years married.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: Maybe rushed it.

13:37
SPEAKER_00: I got married young too.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: But she said she can't, she can't, she's not herself anymore.
13:44

13:49
SPEAKER_00: You you better off on your own, player.

SPEAKER_00: I don't see nothing about kids.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: So man, just just move on.
14:01
SPEAKER_00: It's okay.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: If this is the path that she's on with the drugs and the partying, then let her have it.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: She you you kind of got her when she's young, 20, and you 24.
14:12
SPEAKER_00: I mean, some kind of rebellion state is gonna happen.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh well.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: Just keep it moving, play.
14:20
SPEAKER_00: This is not worth it.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: Why do you want someone that's gonna be in the drugs?
14:23
SPEAKER_00: Because if they're in the drugs now, they're gonna get addicted.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: When they get addiction, it causes problems for you.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: Mm-mm.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: It's time to move on.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: Let her go.

14:49
SPEAKER_00: But drugs, drug, when you introduce drugs to a relationship, that's like a whole nother person in a relationship.
14:54
SPEAKER_00: That's like the third wheel.
