Speaker 11 Hi, welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is: Am I overreacting?

Speaker 10 And I'm joined by two people who are always overreacting,

Speaker 11 Angela and Courtney.

Speaker 10 Why would you say that? There we go. Ah!

Speaker 10 I'm just pulling your skull. You're like, let's do a cute pose.
And I just started grabbing her skull. And I was just doing it.
Could you just grab someone's skull? Yeah. Honestly.
Could I grab?

Speaker 10 Yeah, you may grab. Grab a speech a little.
Wild.

Speaker 11 Do you think you ever overreact to anything?

Speaker 11 Is that something you're afraid of?

Speaker 10 We get paid to. Just kidding.

Speaker 10 No,

Speaker 11 yeah.

Speaker 10 I love how you react to most things. I'll be like, oh, I took a shoot the other day and you go, oh, no.

Speaker 10 Everyone's, yeah, what was your big roast of me? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I interviewed her for something and I said, I'm so excited for my guest.

Speaker 10 Not as excited as she is when I tell her literally anything in San Angela.

Speaker 10 It's a good road.

Speaker 10 I don't know why, but I think actually, I think now I do more stopping myself from overreacting. Being like, no, I'm freaking out.
I'm going to. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 Like being like, no, I'm going to relax. And now that's becoming what I'm overreacting about is overreacting.
I'm overreacting.

Speaker 10 Interesting. When will the cycle go back? Yeah.

Speaker 11 It's a tough feeling when you think you're overreacting to something. And there's a subreddit called Am I Overreacting? And it's filled with people just kind of needing validation over things that

Speaker 11 most of the time I would say they're not overreacting. In fact, I would say almost 99% of the time.

Speaker 10 But we'll see. I kind of love when they are though.
It's kind of funny when they are overreacting.

Speaker 11 It does happen.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I was recently overreacting with my best friend and just over some stupid thing. And it was so sweet how she was trying to tell me I was overreacting without using those scary words.

Speaker 10 She was just like, no, I think you're feeling it really in an extreme way.

Speaker 10 And she was like, we should, like, I want to hold space for that, but know that, like, it doesn't have to be like this.

Speaker 11 Oh, that's a really good way to put it.

Speaker 10 Yeah, but

Speaker 10 I drove home and I was like, I was overreacting.

Speaker 11 Yeah, it's a tough thing because like it's kind of good news when you're overreacting. It's like, oh, it's not as bad as your body's telling you it is.

Speaker 11 But it's also tough because most of these are with relationships. Yeah.
And a lot of times that's really tough because it's like, ooh, is this person,

Speaker 11 is what this person's doing to me or doing really out of line? Okay, let's get into this first story here.

Speaker 11 Am I overreacting? My fiancé isn't invited to the wedding because the bride doesn't want people thinking she is prettier than her.

Speaker 10 Ooh.

Speaker 10 Well, what does she look like?

Speaker 11 No, Antonio Benderes.

Speaker 10 Please. Okay.

Speaker 11 This is a 26-year-old man. My lifelong best friend, a 26-year-old man, is getting married later this year.
When he first got engaged, he asked me to be one of the groomsmen.

Speaker 11 I obviously accepted and have been excited for the wedding and to see my best friend get married.

Speaker 11 His fiancé, a 26-year-old woman, and my fiancé, 25-year-old woman, have always gotten along really well.

Speaker 11 The four of us hang out pretty frequently, always have a great time, and there has never been any problems.

Speaker 11 My fiancé has always considered her a friend and has been extremely happy for them and excited about their wedding.

Speaker 11 His fiancé has even asked my fiancé for her thoughts and suggestions on certain decor for the wedding, venues, colors, things like that.

Speaker 11 The official wedding invitations went out recently and when it arrived at our house, I noticed it was only addressed to me and also didn't say anything about a plus one.

Speaker 11 I was kind of surprised by this because I had been assuming that my fiancé would be invited given the fact that I have been with my fiancé for four years, longer than he has been with his fiancée.

Speaker 11 He has been my best friend since preschool. The four of us hang out all the time.
And some of my family members received invitations to the wedding.

Speaker 11 But before jumping to conclusions, I thought maybe none of the groomsmen or other friends of the bride and groom are allowed to have a plus one due to costs or things like that, since weddings are obviously expensive.

Speaker 11 The other groomsmen are all friends of mine and his, so I called them to see if their significant others were also not invited.

Speaker 11 Turns out Every single one of them received an invitation that included their significant other. And the bridesmaids all get to bring their significant others as well.

Speaker 11 So at that point, I called him to let him know that I got my invitation, but that my fiancé was not included on the invitation. And I asked if there was just an error or if they forgot to include her.

Speaker 11 That's when he informed me that his fiancé doesn't want my fiancée coming to the wedding because she doesn't want all of the guests thinking that my fiancé is prettier than her.

Speaker 11 Now, I will say, my fiancé is insanely gorgeous. If I had a penny,

Speaker 11 this guy friggin' thinks his white's hot, pervert.

Speaker 10 What a perf. What a a pervert, dude.

Speaker 11 Um, okay.

Speaker 11 If I had a penny, every time someone asked me how I managed to get her, I would be a billionaire. On the other hand, his fiancé,

Speaker 11 on the other hand, his fiancé isn't the most conventionally attractive woman.

Speaker 11 I feel bad saying that, and it's something I have never said out loud to anyone, but for context to the situation, I wanted to include that here.

Speaker 11 I told him that I know it's not my wedding, so I don't get to pick the guest list, but I think it's a bit unfair and ridiculous that my fiancé, who they are friends with, is the only only significant other of the whole entire wedding party that doesn't get to come to the wedding because his fiancé is worried people will think she is prettier than her.

Speaker 11 I told him that his fiancé is the bride, so everyone is going to be looking at her and no one is going to be focusing on my fiancée, who isn't even a bridesmaid, so she's not even going to be standing up in front of everyone, instead.

Speaker 11 He said that he agrees with me and that he has already tried multiple times to explain this to his fiancé, but that she won't budge. and is insistent that everyone will think my fiancé is prettier.

Speaker 11 So I ended up telling him that I cannot be a groomsman or attend the wedding then, because in my eyes, it's not fair to my fiancé for me to attend or be in a wedding where she is the only significant other not invited due to the bride's own insecurities.

Speaker 11 He's upset with me now and thinks I'm overreacting, but I just don't think this is fair. My fiancé told me not to worry about her and that I should be part of my best friend's big day.

Speaker 11 But even with my fiancé being completely fine with me going, I honestly don't want to be around the bride. Oh my god.

Speaker 10 Oh, that's so tough.

Speaker 11 I mean,

Speaker 11 I don't know. That's,

Speaker 11 the verdict is not overreacting, and I don't think he's overreacting. If you're significant,

Speaker 11 they all hang out. Like, they're all friends.
This is not like,

Speaker 11 I mean, I don't think this is fair no matter what. Like, if we got invited to a wedding and your significant other can't.
come, it's like, I don't want to go.

Speaker 10 Well, also, yeah, and it's the fact that all the groomsmen, all the other groomsmen were able to bring their plus ones.

Speaker 10 Like, it wasn't even like a, oh, we just want the focus to be on the bride, so no plus ones or whatever.

Speaker 11 Yeah, like it's shitty no matter what. But if I'm the, if I'm the groom, or if I'm the, uh, if I'm the fiancé to this, this woman who's so insecure that she's like, she cannot come,

Speaker 11 I'd be like, all right, if we're going through with that, then we can't have any of the plus ones for the, for the grooms or grooms.

Speaker 10 You have to like cover it up.

Speaker 11 But like to just select the one, I'm like, it's going to be pretty obvious to everyone.

Speaker 10 Totally.

Speaker 11 And then you're also, what's also annoying is that you know that this friend is also not only expecting him to do that, to say, all right, my fiancé will stay at home and I'll go to this wedding by myself, but he's also probably expecting him to lie to everyone when they say, why isn't she here?

Speaker 10 And he's at this wedding and they're like, why isn't your fiancé here?

Speaker 11 You're the only one without your fiancé.

Speaker 10 And he has to be like, she's too smoking hot. Yeah.

Speaker 11 My hot fiancé's at home. No, I'm assuming, I'm only assuming that he's going to be like, no, don't tell everyone that it's because of the bride.

Speaker 11 I agree with the whole notion of like, yeah, it's your day. Like it's

Speaker 11 but it doesn't mean that you get to to break the laws of respect that people have for each other, right? Yeah, you if you're a shitty person

Speaker 11 You're doing a shitty thing and there's gonna be consequences for that like you are kind of messing up your friendship with these people by doing this.

Speaker 11 Like they're all close friends and it's you're saying like I don't want you there.

Speaker 10 Yeah, it's interesting. Like

Speaker 10 I don't know because I don't want to call the bride a shitty person because it's like clearly she's just like she's so insecure no for sure

Speaker 10 you ever just meet someone that's so fucking gorgeous it's painful yes yes and they're always so kind and that dress to fits you perfectly i totally know what you mean it's just devastating like devastating and you're just like oh but i now i've read the point where it's like i can't have you around i know that's what i'm saying

Speaker 10 it makes me feel like they're a little bit like teenage girl coded i'm like are you in love with her like sorry.

Speaker 10 That's what it is. She's too pretty.

Speaker 10 The bride's going to be distracted from her own girl. Yes.
She can't say, I do.

Speaker 11 I just think you have to have like, I don't know. It's like

Speaker 11 she trusts her fiancé who she's marrying. Like, that's what.
matters here. And like, I don't know.

Speaker 11 It's like people that are at your wedding love you and they care about you and they are there for you.

Speaker 10 Yeah, it is so interesting. It's like one of those like, hey, can we just take like an extra couple thoughts of like,

Speaker 10 like you're, you think this, this person's existence, you might even not see them most of the day because you're going to have a crazy day as the bride.

Speaker 10 Their being there will ruin your experience as a bride because people might look at her and think she's prettier than the bride. Yeah.

Speaker 10 That's like, like if your family's doing that to you and going, geez, you lied to that girl. She's so much prettier than you, the bride.
Yes. Like you're worried that, like, what's going to happen?

Speaker 10 Yeah. Like you're walking down the aisle and they're all looking over at the left on the left.
Yeah, they're all just like,

Speaker 10 like, like, what?

Speaker 2 It's also like, hey, if you listen to iHeart K-pop with JoJo, let me say thank you and turn you on to something.

Speaker 3 Next level.

Speaker 6 My two faves: peach and Asian pear. Oh my god.

Speaker 9 Smoother than hard seltzer and much more fun than beer.

Speaker 10 Yeah, it goes back to that thought, which I used to believe, and I still at some times in my most insecure, I do believe that like dimming other people's light makes me brighter, right?

Speaker 10 And that's not true, right?

Speaker 10 When you're around people who are super talented and super sweet and gorgeous and whatever, that doesn't make you less than, right? That's a comparison mindset that's so hard to get out of.

Speaker 10 It really is.

Speaker 11 But it will destroy you.

Speaker 11 It'll destroy friendships.

Speaker 10 I mean it'll it'll yeah cuz like this is like right it's one day but it's like okay so is this friendship like over like can you not have her around? Like what is this saying?

Speaker 10 I also feel bad that like this is this has been a conversation between the groom and the the groomsman when it's like did the bride talk to her

Speaker 10 like this just feels like a really personal thing that like is a bigger conversation like a bigger conversation than like you're not allowed to like you're too pretty to like be at my wedding it just feels like very like oh that's all she is to you is this person who's too pretty and like I think she's the bride is being the meanest to herself in that day because she's so worried about her attention people having attention on her and her feeling good that she needs to like literally eliminate a person.

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 11 Yeah. I think what I was saying earlier too with just like it the wedding day being a day where it's like, oh, no rules.
I'm allowed to be disrespectful.

Speaker 11 It's like people treat it almost like the purge where it's like on this day.

Speaker 10 day

Speaker 10 I get to do whatever I can treat people however I want and then after we're done we all go back to normal right it's like no people remember like they're gonna remember how you treated them and and like I would have a hard time being friends with them what if she was like after that come to my wedding just don't wear makeup please just could you look

Speaker 10 like hey babe can you just like wear a weird lip color

Speaker 11 ugly jeans the ugliest jeans you could find I do feel so bad for her because I think all of us who live in LA and especially all of us in the acting industry like, we just know the feeling because like no matter how attractive you are, like as actors, we have walked into rooms and seen people that are just like unbelievably good looking.

Speaker 11 Like it's just crazy. But I don't know.

Speaker 11 I guess also over time being in LA, like you learn to just like be confident in your own attractiveness and beauty and that it's a unique thing and that everybody's so unique.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like I don't know. I just I feel bad for her, the bride, like, because I'm like, hey, like people

Speaker 11 like love you and they, you have your own radiance to you, and you have to trust that. But here you are, like, this is haunting you so much.
That's, that's tough, man.

Speaker 10 I also hate that's really hard. I hate to make it an age thing, but I, I think, I used to think these thoughts when I was in my earlier 20s too.

Speaker 10 And, like, you all, at some point, you can't control the world like that, right? I get it. You can control your wedding day.

Speaker 10 to the most for the most part, but if that's the mindset you're going to have like going forward, you're not going to have this type of control every

Speaker 10 You can't control being the prettiest in the room.

Speaker 11 I think something that I think hit for me at a certain point, because I've had a comparison mindset a lot, right? And it's tough,

Speaker 11 especially in...

Speaker 11 our industry where you walk into auditions and you see someone who's better looking than you and you're like oh shit it does matter here because you're probably gonna book this role because you're more attractive than me and taller than me and all this stuff but like you have to get over it you can't get over it right but there's so much power but it's like by doing this and i think what what would haunt me is if i'm in the bride's position and i do this i go oh i let my insecurity win i let it dominate right as opposed to being like no you're gonna come and i'm yeah i i recognize that insecurity i recognize what i'm doing inside and i'm not gonna let that dominate my choices i'm going to choose myself and i'm gonna i can have any type of person here but i'm gonna have confidence in myself here too.

Speaker 11 And I think she will feel so much better if she goes with that. And then, as opposed to, I think it would haunt me over the years to be like, wow, I've made that choice out of pure insecurity.

Speaker 10 And she wasn't

Speaker 10 going to haunt me. Yeah.

Speaker 10 I mean, it's like this. It's like, you knew full well today, Shane, when you put that shirt on, that I look better in it than you.

Speaker 10 And that didn't stop you from putting it on. And here you are today, still wearing it.
In front of me, someone who would wear it so much better.

Speaker 10 I really tried.

Speaker 11 We have some comments here.

Speaker 11 I don't show up to work tomorrow.

Speaker 10 Only if she's not there.

Speaker 11 Oh, there's only one guest in this culinary crime.

Speaker 10 Yeah,

Speaker 10 Shane didn't show up. He's saying you can't wear that.
You have to show me that. Shane's saying

Speaker 10 you can't be here.

Speaker 11 Back to the show. Um, comments: I'm a plus-size woman who has suffered a lot with insecurities about my body and looks over the years.
To be honest, I still do some days.

Speaker 11 But if I was getting married, you could have Jennifer Aniston at my wedding, and I wouldn't care. The only person's opinion that would matter to me is my husband, to be.

Speaker 11 If he doesn't think I am the prettiest woman in that room, then he's not the man for me. But anyone else, let them think what they want.

Speaker 11 But if it's your wedding, surely it's filled with family and friends, people you love, people who love you. So again, as OP said, everyone will be looking at the bride and nobody else.

Speaker 11 You did the right thing. Standing by your fiancé is definitely the right thing to do.
If your best friend wouldn't do the same for his bride to be, why is he getting married?

Speaker 11 Your fiancé is your family, potentially the mother to your future children, the woman who will be by your side through thick and thin.

Speaker 11 If your friend doesn't see that, he isn't a man and he really shouldn't be in a relationship, let alone getting married. The bride needs some serious therapy.
to get over herself.

Speaker 11 She should be so excited for the best day of her life, but yet she's more concerned about another woman's beauty. I think that's what also makes me sad.

Speaker 11 Is I'm like, this is a thought running through your head.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, this was a big choice you made. I'm like, you're not focused on all the positives that are going on.

Speaker 10 Yeah. But you know what? You don't.
You can't blame women for thinking that when you're like at a young age, you're constantly put up against each other.

Speaker 10 You're constantly told, like, especially like old movies that I grew up watching, it was there's one pretty girl. Right.
Right. And then there's one funny girl.

Speaker 10 And I think nowadays it's a lot more nuanced, but it is, it sucks that that's a thing for so many women.

Speaker 10 It's tough though, but it's so true about like letting a thing win where it's like, this is your day and you actually kind of made it about this other person by making that choice.

Speaker 10 And like that, that's like, yeah, like if you're letting that person, you're making it true. You know, like it doesn't have to be true.

Speaker 10 Everyone, like, I, there are some men that people drool over on the red carpets and I do not get it. I like there's everybody is attractive in so many different ways, and it's like

Speaker 10 you like, yeah.

Speaker 10 I think I hope she, like, the bride one day, like, realizes how hot she is and, like, wins, you know,

Speaker 10 do you think I would look better in that shirt, or what do you think?

Speaker 10 I'm kind of rocking it. I, you are rocking it, you're rocking it, you're rocking it.
You look great in that color. You know what? Take it off.
Let's see. My mic is on it.

Speaker 10 Do you want this cool trinkets teeth?

Speaker 10 Cool trinkets teeth. Swap shirts.
You guys swapping shirts.

Speaker 10 It's a hard tie. And you guys.

Speaker 10 This episode was brought to you by Booking.com.

Speaker 11 Someone said, you're definitely not overreacting. That's some bullshit on the part of the bride, and shame on your friend for going along with it.

Speaker 11 As a woman, it's extremely understandable that she doesn't want to be overshadowed. Us average ladies experience it often, and for it to happen at one's wedding would be devastating.

Speaker 11 However, you're correct that no one will be paying attention to anyone but the bride. Even the homeliest woman absolutely shines on her wedding day.

Speaker 11 She just sounds like the stress is getting to her, and

Speaker 11 she's worrying about every possible thing that could go wrong. And unfortunately, your fiancé is being nitpicked.
Lastly, someone said this is an insult to the other plus ones.

Speaker 11 So they're ugly enough to attend the wedding.

Speaker 11 What the fuck? That's actually true.

Speaker 10 That's true. That's what it was in my mind.
I'm like, where's the

Speaker 11 caliber? It sets an unfortunate standard for everybody else at the wedding. You're there, and it's like, sorry, he couldn't come.
He was too hot.

Speaker 10 And I'm like, yeah, sure. Yeah,

Speaker 10 nothing about me being here is intimidating at

Speaker 10 So, like, yeah, when I was thinking about that, it's like, okay, so what about like Debbie? So she's just not quite there. Like, where's the ranking of like, oh,

Speaker 10 Elaine is too, she's above the line, but but Sarah, she's like, you know what I mean? But Debbie, come. We have a taco bar.
Debbie, come on.

Speaker 11 This is unfortunately a Seinfeld episode where like halfway through, you know, like I'd be there just like,

Speaker 11 sorry, should I, should I go?

Speaker 10 And George is like, you didn't invite me because I was cute.

Speaker 10 She's too pretty. That's okay.

Speaker 10 That was really good.

Speaker 11 Lastly, someone said this is an insult to the other plus one, so they're ugly enough to attend the wedding. What the fuck?

Speaker 11 It's also discriminating against someone who can't control what their face looks like. I don't think the bride realizes how messed up it is to cut someone out just based on looks.

Speaker 11 This is the definition of shallow and insecure. I feel bad for the bride if this type of thought enters her mind.

Speaker 11 Of course, you can't say that to her, but you could say something like, how someone's face looks shouldn't affect a friendship.

Speaker 11 I think that's just what's sad is like,

Speaker 11 they're throwing away a friendship over this.

Speaker 10 That's going to be permanent.

Speaker 10 You can't control how your face looks. Well,

Speaker 10 you can't control how your face looks, but you can control how your heart looks.

Speaker 10 But also, that's not true because people get plastic cookie. You can control how hot she looks.
You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.
I guarantee it. The bride guarantees it.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 10 That's sad. No, it's sad.
Tucks. Anyways.
That's it. No update.

Speaker 11 No update.

Speaker 10 Update.

Speaker 10 Damn.

Speaker 10 We got an update song.

He started laughing. I was confused and asked what was funny.

Speaker 11 He made a reference about me looking like the penguin. I'm heavier and was wearing a white tank top.
I was still confused.

Speaker 11 He then pulls up a picture of the penguin from Batman with his disgusting face and white shirt moving in an obvious way that resembled me.

Speaker 10 Scott, stop laughing. Stop laughing.

Speaker 10 Scott!

Speaker 10 Stop!

Speaker 11 I'm not usually overly sensitive and can take a joke, but this made me angry. Very angry.

Speaker 10 I hate him.

Speaker 11 Can you imagine?

Speaker 10 I want him to go away for a long time.

Speaker 10 Sorry.

Speaker 10 Buddy, can your mind please, please iOS update your brain?

Speaker 11 That guy in the middle of sex was like, what if I I never have sex again?

Speaker 11 And then he made that choice.

Speaker 10 To go from sex to meme,

Speaker 10 your brain's in a dark fucking space.

Speaker 10 That's the dark night right there.

Speaker 11 You either come the hero or fuck long enough to become the villain.

Speaker 10 Cut that. I think you know,

Speaker 11 Sit up on your chair. I sat there cooking for a bit, okay? I was like, I need to come up with a Batman reference.
I will say, I love this woman for like making this post.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, you can tell, like, like, she is, I do think she seems like she's very confident in herself.

Speaker 10 She goes, internet, do your thing. Yeah.
Internet, kill him. Here's his address.

Speaker 10 A woman topping you in a white tank top, slay, and then you did that.

Speaker 11 I think it's very clear. The fact that he's alive means she underreacted.

Speaker 11 Because says...

Speaker 10 Yeah, she's not writing this from prison.

Speaker 11 She probably, yeah, unless she was writing this from prison, it's like, hey.

Speaker 10 You ain't got to clip this. We lost our minds.
We did. We truly did.

Speaker 10 Fair.

Speaker 11 The verdict, not overreacting. Someone said, firstly, you're not wrong to feel how you feel.
He hurt your feelings, period. There are a lot of factors that could play into how you proceed from here.

Speaker 11 Is this the first time he's commented on your weight in a negative way? Is he a joker that often tries to be funny even at the wrong times? Joker reference.

Speaker 11 Is he concerned about your health or just being rude? The best thing to do is tell him exactly how he hurt you, which it sounds like you already did.

Speaker 11 And now take it easy and observe him closely these next few days or week.

Speaker 11 Is he still making side comments or is he being careful around you and telling you he thinks you're beautiful, either by words or actions since we all have our own love languages?

Speaker 11 If you watch someone long enough, they'll tell you exactly who they are. And spoiler alert, it doesn't take that long.

Speaker 11 Good luck. And no matter what, remember there's someone out there, might even be him, that wants them some you in a wholesome way.

Speaker 11 Opie responded, He generally doesn't make comments about my body mostly because I think he's afraid to, but yes, he has in the past while having sex.

Speaker 11 Once he made a reference of me looking like a dinosaur because my hand was kind of up, and another that he wanted to push on my stomach and make me laugh like the Pillsbury Doughboy,

Speaker 10 all while on top,

Speaker 11 all while on top, his preference and

Speaker 11 his preference

Speaker 11 and usually i can just laugh stuff off but this was too much i should mention he's not some super skinny dude himself and can out eat me i'm top heavy in the way that my breasts are really large oh my god he doesn't deserve this woman

Speaker 10 baby

Speaker 10 i'm

Speaker 10 move on to the the next story. I hate this fucking asshole.
Oh, no. Oh, my God.
He's thinking about literally anything else while she's having sex with him. And

Speaker 10 he gets to say in the position. The position for him should be in a corner.

Speaker 11 Someone said, this guy is 39? Oh, and I forgot his age. Oh, and his hair.

Speaker 11 Oh, my God. Clear.

Speaker 11 I'd expect this level of stupidity and lack of tact from a 19-year-old who's obsessed with memes, but a middle-aged guy who's engaged in an intimate moment with their partner, that's just really fucking dumb.

Speaker 11 I mean, I can definitely get lost in the thoughts sometimes or say something that might get taken out of context, but he straight up compared you to the penguin during sex.

Speaker 11 Is this way out of character for him? I'm getting the sense that he might be a bit narcissistic or just incredibly immature for his age.

Speaker 11 Lastly, someone said, I don't know if I would stick around, but if I did every time he tried rubbing up on me, I'd tell him to go fuck with the penguin.

Speaker 10 But you know what? Actually, like, if you really break it down in that moment, she's saying he's too afraid to talk about her body, but except for in sex, he, yeah, no, you're right.

Speaker 10 Which is like, that's the last place

Speaker 10 that you should, like, that is the most intimate and last place that you should feel confident enough to say something like that to anyone.

Speaker 10 And, like, just because we're doing this, let's give space to intrusive thoughts, I guess, right? When you're like, oh, this looks like that. Oh, I didn't mean to offend.
But this is a real

Speaker 10 thing.

Speaker 11 Specifically during sex, which also makes me fear that it's like, if it's like he enjoys humiliating her.

Speaker 10 Yes, yes. And he's also just like making fun of the size of her body.
Like multiple times. Yeah.

Speaker 10 And just to, I'm just, to go as so far as to show this meme and be like, and you know, in his mind, he's like, oh, this resembled it.

Speaker 10 Maybe it was like a tiny element of it, but she sees this whole picture and she's like, you think that's what I look like? Yeah. Like he has no idea how that could impact another person.
Like,

Speaker 10 they got to figure that out. Like,

Speaker 11 yeah, that's awful. And, like, the fact that someone asked and she's like, yeah, he's done this a few times.
I'm like, bro.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, don't marry this man.

Speaker 10 And also his preference of her. Oh, God.
I know he's. He can all hear that.

Speaker 11 It's been red flag after red flag on this guy.

Speaker 10 Miserable reaction. I'm sorry.
It's just like, no. She sounds like a lovely woman.
She does. Yeah.
Everyone is lovely except that guy. Yeah.
Even the penguin.

Speaker 10 I'd rather hang out out with the penguin than that guy.

Speaker 3 Hey, if you listen to iHeart K-pop with Jojo, let me say thank you and turn you on to something next level.

Speaker 6 My two faves: peach and Asian pear. Oh my god.

Speaker 9 Smoother than hard seltzer and much more fun than beer.

Speaker 13 I was sipping my latte when my friend gasped. Her phone had just alerted her to a data breach.
Again, that's when I told her about CAPE.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Next story.

Speaker 10 So,

Speaker 11 no update on that guy.

Speaker 10 I will say, FOP, if you're somehow watching this, you're a fucking queen. And it's your preference if you want to top.

Speaker 10 Fuck yeah. And I'll be there.

Speaker 11 Hey, look, the next time you get on top and you're like, hey, this time I'm Harvey Dent. And then you flip a coin, you pull out a gun, and you're like, we're going to do this.

Speaker 11 We're going to, if you want, if you want this, we're going to do this.

Speaker 10 All right.

Speaker 11 Our next story. Am I overreacting for thinking of leaving my husband after he left me alone to hang with the boys hours after I nearly died?

Speaker 10 I swear, this title's.

Speaker 10 It's

Speaker 11 just like.

Speaker 10 It's just getting worse and worse.

Speaker 10 It's getting so bad out here in the place we call the world.

Speaker 11 Y'all, I could use your wisdom here. I'll try to make this as short as possible.

Speaker 11 Two days ago, I, a 37-year-old woman, went into anaphylaxis from an unknown source while shopping with my husband, 37-year-old man. My face erupted into burning hives out of nowhere.

Speaker 11 This has never happened to me before. I asked him to call the nurse line to make sure the ER would be covered.
I'm American. He wouldn't, so I had to while my face was on fire.

Speaker 11 I get the green light and off to ER I go, where he drops me off and heads back to sit with the kids, who are 15 and 11.

Speaker 11 Long story short, the head nurse took one look at me and had the anaphylaxis cocktail ordered before I made it to the registration. Five minutes later and I wouldn't be here.

Speaker 11 I get discharged and I'm flying high on that cocktail and adrenaline. Husband gets me home and asks if he can go play D and D with the boys.
Both kids are at sleepovers. Again, I'm effed up on meds.

Speaker 11 Happy to be alive. I would have agreed to anything, so I said he could.
Next morning, it hits me. Why would it even cross his mind to go out after that happened? Now I'm so hurt.

Speaker 11 I'm seriously thinking of leaving him. Am I overreacting?

Speaker 11 I can't believe.

Speaker 11 So she has anaphylaxis while they're out shopping, and he refuses to call. the ER.

Speaker 11 She goes, hey, can you call 911? And he goes, no.

Speaker 10 He wouldn't.

Speaker 11 He wouldn't, so I had to while my face was on fire.

Speaker 10 She's American, so she's clearly maybe in another country. And asked him to call the nurse's line to see if she would, like,

Speaker 10 she was worried about spending a ton of money being picked up by an ambulance or something.

Speaker 11 He said, I, she said, I asked him to call the nurse line to make sure the ER would be covered. I'm American.
He wouldn't. So I had to while my face was on fire.

Speaker 10 Right. Like, so he wouldn't even.

Speaker 10 He's not doing anything for her. That's like, that cannot be the only time that's ever happened for him to not take her seriously like that.

Speaker 11 You're high on drugs.

Speaker 10 After almost dying.

Speaker 11 After almost dying, I'm going to leave you home alone while I go out and play D and D.

Speaker 10 Someone who's not going through that medical thing will think that person's overreacting because their body's simply not going through it, right?

Speaker 10 And I'm like, it's just a bad fucking look. Like

Speaker 10 you simply don't know what happened to her. You can't act like,

Speaker 10 sure, she went through something that he, his, his adrenaline didn't hit.

Speaker 10 She felt like she was gonna die hit he didn't obviously feel that so they're on different playing fields and it's just it's it's bad though it's it's it's bad when your partner I don't know I'm trying to like figure out maybe it just didn't hit him what actually was going on and he thought she just had a bad day

Speaker 11 well he knew that she needed to go to the ER he dropped her off at the ER like to drop your partner off to drop your partner off at the ER because they're going through something and then just not even be concerned about it at all.

Speaker 11 And I understand, like, I'm not going through the same pain, but like,

Speaker 11 just also be concerned. Like, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 10 Exactly. That's what I think.

Speaker 11 I think I'd be, it's almost more, I feel more anxiety when someone else is going through something.

Speaker 10 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 11 So I'm like, what are you feeling? What's going on?

Speaker 10 It's a red flag when someone can't identify that they don't know what this person's going through. So they write it off rather than get more interested and offer help.
Right, literally.

Speaker 10 And that's just,

Speaker 10 I,

Speaker 10 if my partner said, can you take me to the emergency room? The way I would leap into action.

Speaker 10 in fact, like I've had migraines where I am in so much pain or my stomach, when I had food poisoning recently, where it's like, oh no, I might need to go to the hospital or something, but I know that, like, it's not going to be a conversation.

Speaker 10 You just will take me. And so sometimes I'm like, okay, maybe I shouldn't.
I'll fight through it because like, I don't want to have to go through all that.

Speaker 10 But like, knowing that that is a serious thing that you will take.

Speaker 11 That you don't have to convince your partner you're going through. Right.
Your partner should just be there for you no matter what.

Speaker 10 oh like that's such an the I'm sure the feeling she's feeling now is like oh I can't rely on this person yeah I don't feel safe like I have to kind of look out for myself and I might just die yeah because he's not gonna like help me I think like it's probably all hitting her really fast so she must be she's like making the judgment on herself being like this must am I over am I overreacting from going from this to that but I think it's just probably that it took her to see him ignore her in a time of like literal like life or death.

Speaker 10 And multiple ways of it, ignoring her needs by calling, making one phone call. It's like, OP, you are not overreacting.
That's a feeling that you are getting from seeing someone leave you out to dry.

Speaker 10 Yeah. The leaving them at the emergency room is wild.

Speaker 11 I hope at his DD session, he meets a bird that hates him.

Speaker 10 Oh,

Speaker 10 I get that reminisce.

Speaker 11 It's a reference. The verdict was not overreacting.
Comments, were the kids already scheduled for sleepovers or did Hubb plan that himself? How did you get home from the ER?

Speaker 11 You are clearly married to a child who thinks of himself and not of you. It would have been nice if he sat with you and comforted you after your ordeal.

Speaker 11 The fact that he refused to call about ER coverage is such a red flag. Not overreacting, and you should consider leaving him.
OP said, the kids arranged the sleepovers themselves.

Speaker 11 Their friends asked their dad. He said it was okay.
He came and picked me up. I guess I never realized how bad he's treated me until now.

Speaker 11 I want to say, don't attribute to malice what can be mostly explained by stupidity, but this one is beyond defensible. I know my trust would be broken if my husband pulled that shit.

Speaker 10 Totally.

Speaker 11 Someone else said, this is horrible. What an asshole.
No, you're not overreacting. I had an allergic reaction and my ex was kinder to me than this.

Speaker 11 I wouldn't leave him over this alone, but my guess is he's done more than this, which is usually the case with stories like this. I mean, it's akin.
Yeah, like it's a break of trust.

Speaker 11 It's similar to like cheating, where it's like a realization of like, oh, you're not on my side. Like, you're not here for me.
You don't care. about me.

Speaker 10 Would you imagine? Hey, can I come over, spend the night? My mom is like dying and my dad, my dad's a bard and he really wants to go. My dad's a bard.

Speaker 10 My dad's a bard with all of his buddies from State Farm. What a fucking loser.

Speaker 11 Yeah. I mean, the guy sounds clueless, but I think it kind of doesn't matter, like, because the reality is, oh, shit, I have someone who I can't trust.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, I might die, and this person's not going to save me.

Speaker 10 The fact that she, like, he just has no idea that she almost died. Like, that, like, imagine if, imagine if she didn't get the help.
She had, like, where would he be? Like, like, that's so wild.

Speaker 11 Yeah. Um,

Speaker 10 update. Oh,

Speaker 10 um,

Speaker 11 do you think, okay, update.

Speaker 11 Wow, I'm absolutely overwhelmed by how this took off. So many comments I can't keep up, so I'll try to address what I can as an update.
We still have no idea what caused it.

Speaker 11 I have an appointment with a specialist. I do have known allergies, but never reacted that quickly or that intense before.
I am not a doctor and can only repeat what they told me.

Speaker 11 It was anaphylaxis shock. I was minutes from dying.
I am not the type to cry wolf and will refuse a trip to the ER at all costs. I've given myself stitches to avoid the ER.

Speaker 10 Oh my God.

Speaker 11 I am 95% sure my husband did not try to poison me. He's a donkey bum, yes, but not an evil person.
I did have that thought.

Speaker 10 Silly Reddit. Like did he try to do that? There was a moment, yeah.

Speaker 11 So she said, he is not neurodivergent. I am, and so are my kids, which is why I didn't want them at the ER or left alone.

Speaker 11 I talked to him the morning after about being hurt that he'd even consider leaving me alone like that, which is when he said I was overreacting.

Speaker 11 Him saying I was overreacting, combined with his non-action, is what made me start to think about leaving him.

Speaker 11 I spoke with him again last night, showed him the post, and spent a good amount of time bawling. He's appalled and has been the sweetest, most attentive man since.
Lastly, I have been...

Speaker 11 Lastly, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on this relationship. It probably isn't healthy, but he's not the only one to blame.
We're going to try counseling.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 10 I mean, oh, God, I can't. I'm just, a Reddit post made you wake up sooner than your wife almost dying.

Speaker 11 It's, it's always unfortunate. It's like, hey, all these people on the internet said this.

Speaker 10 It's like, oh, well, then, okay.

Speaker 10 Some of these users might be men. I should listen.

Speaker 11 Oh, no, the boys are disappointed in me.

Speaker 10 The other barns are never going to be disappointed.

Speaker 10 barns

Speaker 10 oh god

Speaker 10 i feel for her but it's their choice you know like right i'm glad maybe she needed one final big wake up to be like whoa i'm not gonna ignore this kind of behavior anymore and now they're bringing it to a third party like a mediator to figure that out but that's hard that's she doesn't strike me as the type to forget this yeah so you know it's gonna be different from here on out and like what i would assume could happen with a type like this is like over time he's gonna be like okay we're good.

Speaker 11 Like, she's not gonna leave me. So, and then he'll slide back into that behavior, and it'll just be on her to be like, Okay, he's back to doing this, so this is forever.

Speaker 11 Yeah, and I have to now make this call.

Speaker 10 Yeah, and making that call before it comes down to life or death, right? Right. I mean, hopefully, that never happens again.

Speaker 10 Um, and if they try this, and in a few more years, their kids are full-on adults living their own lives, and a divorce will be a lot easier. There you go, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 11 Our next story:

Speaker 11 Am I overreacting for leaving my birthday dinner after my fiancé announced a fake pregnancy?

Speaker 10 Huh? Oh, God.

Speaker 11 So last night was my birthday dinner, just a chill night with family and friends. Everything was great until my fiancé stood up to give a special toast.

Speaker 11 Out of nowhere, he goes, we're so excited to announce, we're expecting.

Speaker 10 Uh, what?

Speaker 11 I just stared at him like he's lost his mind because I'm not pregnant. He's smiling.
My mom is crying. His family is clapping, and I'm just sitting there like, question mark?

Speaker 11 I finally ask, what are you talking about? And this man with a straight face says he's been manifesting it and it's only a matter of time.

Speaker 10 Oh, so it's not a joke.

Speaker 11 I was done.

Speaker 11 Got up, left the restaurant. He followed me all mad, saying I embarrassed him and should have just gone with it for the night.
Now his family is blowing up my phone saying I ruined a beautiful moment.

Speaker 11 Like, what even was that? Was I really overreacting? This is a horror movie.

Speaker 10 Oh my god, that was the end of it?

Speaker 11 That's the end of that.

Speaker 10 What?

Speaker 11 Wait, I thought he was like, sorry, that was a prank.

Speaker 10 Like, we're expecting Samartini to do a man.

Speaker 10 Like,

Speaker 10 I'm expecting another beer tower. You're expecting this bill to be massive.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 Like, what is...

Speaker 10 But he said that in order to manifest.

Speaker 11 He's like, no, I'm going to make it happen.

Speaker 10 What? And how is she, how did she ruin a beautiful moment

Speaker 10 because the moment isn't real because she's like i'm not pregnant are you

Speaker 10 you're saying this about my body there was never manifest there was something about my body i manifest that my boobs will look less weird every day yeah i don't know if it's gonna happen

Speaker 10 my body and then his family that's my body and that's my body

Speaker 10 And that's your body. And that's my body.

Speaker 10 That was fun.

Speaker 11 Verdict is not overreacting. Comments.

Speaker 10 I am overreacting, though. No, you're fine.

Speaker 11 I like how the comments said, not the asshole.

Speaker 11 Leave the man, not just the party. How heartbreaking for your family to hear you're expecting.
Then here it's all made up. He will play on yours and everyone's emotions for as long as you're with him.

Speaker 10 Don't let him.

Speaker 11 Someone said, nope, that's insane and incredibly cruel. Run.
Lastly, someone said, for the love of all that's holy, would you please raise the bar for yourself and dump that idiot?

Speaker 11 There are better men out there, but you won't find one while tethered to him. Yeah, that's definitely, that's an immediate runaway.
Run away from her.

Speaker 10 How long are they together?

Speaker 11 I don't know, but that's her fiancé.

Speaker 10 Okay. You know, because I know people will sometimes announce, like,

Speaker 10 we're going to start trying.

Speaker 11 That's a very different, like, yeah.

Speaker 10 She is pregnant.

Speaker 10 He's certainly expecting, but like, he's expecting something. Like, you know what I mean? He's expecting something.

Speaker 11 Even if, this is a red flag even if she is pregnant because they didn't talk about announcements 100%

Speaker 11 like no this is this is so many layers.

Speaker 11 Yeah, this is I don't even know it doesn't make it sound like they were trying which makes it even scarier for him to turn and be like I'm manifesting he's manifesting this what it seems like he's on he's misunderstanding like his like marriage this guy's acting like he has powers like he's fucking Sauron or something.

Speaker 11 It's creepy.

Speaker 10 I'm like she's not a lottery slot machine that you can just hope and be like, hey, guys. I'm feeling good about this today.
I'm manifesting my wife to have a bun in the oven.

Speaker 11 If she was actually pregnant, there'd be a lot of reasons this is messed up because,

Speaker 11 well, mainly because she wasn't in on this. Yeah.
If the both of them talked and were like, oh, yeah, we want to announce to our family tonight. But like, what the hell?

Speaker 10 He just took it on his own.

Speaker 11 He's treating her like an object where he's just like, oh yeah, like your opinion doesn't matter.

Speaker 10 And he like wanted i feel like it was her birthday dinner it was like supposed to be a night about her i know you did it at my birthday dinner seems like this is terrifying like he wanted to take a moment he wanted to feel special he wanted to like feel that attention with her for a moment and like

Speaker 10 it's like such a michael scott thing to do like we're expecting

Speaker 10 i'm manifesting that it's gonna happen guys like it's so like you want attention and like yeah even if like it if they were if he just had a feeling that the embryo was in there right? Like that, like

Speaker 10 that's too soon, and people have like really intentional conversations and planning for when it's okay to announce. There's so many complications or just personal reasons for wait.
Yes.

Speaker 10 And they just talk about it, you know? Yeah. It's not just like vibes and like, mm, I feel like, yeah, this is right.
This is good.

Speaker 11 All right, our next story.

Speaker 10 That was it.

Speaker 11 There's no update.

Speaker 11 Our next story.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 10 Little bo-book voice coming in.

Speaker 11 Our next story.

Speaker 11 Am I overreacting? My husband tried to fucking kill me.

Speaker 11 Am I overreacting for wanting to cut off my family after they went to my fiancé's workplace to expose her?

Speaker 11 I, a 24-year-old man, have been with my fiancé, a 25-year-old woman, for six years and we're planning to get married in the spring of 2025.

Speaker 11 My fiancé and my family have always had a strained relationship, but I thought things were improving until this week.

Speaker 11 My sister, who's 26, and her boyfriend, 25, only visit once or twice a year, so I was excited to see them over the holidays.

Speaker 11 One evening, my fiancé and I went to my parents' house for dinner and games.

Speaker 11 She had a couple of drinks, I stayed sober to drive, and was a little emotional because we'd recently had to put down her childhood pet.

Speaker 11 My family was supportive when she shared about it, and the evening seemed to go well. At one point, she got an email from work and the conversation briefly turned to what she does for a living.

Speaker 11 She works in an office. The night ended fine and we planned to return the next day.

Speaker 11 The next morning, as we were heading back to my parents' house, I got a text from my sister saying they were in my city, which is over an hour away.

Speaker 11 Confused, I replied, WTF, why would you guys do that? But got no response. When we got to my parents' house, I tried calling them.
No answer. Finally, I called my sister's boyfriend and he answered.

Speaker 11 That's when I learned they had gone to my fiancé's workplace, questioned her coworkers, and discovered that she doesn't work there. She works in the office, not on the floor.

Speaker 11 He and my family accused her of lying about her work, why she left her last job, and about her getting hit by a car and told me I shouldn't marry her. They also wanted me to provide evidence.

Speaker 11 To make it worse, I had him on speakerphone so my fiancé heard everything.

Speaker 11 I was furious but tried to stay calm. I defended her, hung up, and decided decided we needed to leave.
I went back to my parents' house, grabbed our things, and left.

Speaker 11 Now we're at home trying to process everything. I'm beyond upset that my family disrespected my fiancé and crossed such a huge boundary by going to her workplace and harassing her coworkers.

Speaker 11 I'm thinking about cutting contact with them, but I keep wondering if I'm overreacting. Is this something I should try to do?

Speaker 10 Oh my god. What in the world? What?

Speaker 10 Oh,

Speaker 11 so the family goes to the building she works at.

Speaker 11 goes to the wrong floor asks a bunch of random people there and they're like we don't know who that is and then accuse her of lying about all this stuff but that would also mean they're accusing their own son of lying about everything too

Speaker 10 messy what is going on

Speaker 10 um

Speaker 11 He's overreacting for wanting to cut his family off for that. Like, that's intrusive, abusive behavior.

Speaker 10 Yeah, her workplace?

Speaker 11 Like, yeah, like,

Speaker 11 they drove a long time.

Speaker 10 That's an HR thing.

Speaker 11 Just to go there and

Speaker 10 do all that.

Speaker 11 I mean, kind of, kind of lucky they didn't go to the correct floor. They went to a random place of work, and nobody knows who the hell these people were.

Speaker 10 I'm like picturing like the home alone family when they're like running through the airport, but it's just like them in this office, and they're like, Where's Patrice?

Speaker 10 Do you know Patrice? Like this weird family going around. Yeah, like it is floor six.

Speaker 11 I want more answers. Um, the verdict is not overreacting because they're not, but um, in the comments, someone said, info.
Is your family really this silly?

Speaker 11 Okay, guys, this is really silly.

Speaker 10 That's so funny.

Speaker 11 Sorry, my family's really goofy. They'll stalk you.

Speaker 10 Oh, did I tell you? I didn't tell you they're silly.

Speaker 11 My family's a little silly, so they might show up to your work. Okay, they might accuse you of lying about everything.

Speaker 10 So boundaries aren't really a thing for us because my parents are silly.

Speaker 11 Is your family really this silly? I am almost positive that jobs can't just tell randoms that someone works there. What if the random is a stalker? This is so weird.
Why did they even do this?

Speaker 11 Is there missing context that explains driving an hour to do an employment check when it quite literally is none of their business not overreacting op said they are just this silly sadly they have been like this every time i've dated someone they just took it way way way too far this time someone said shit is weird all around probably not a great support system there hey uh that's how they wrote it they had hey at the end of that and hey

Speaker 10 hey maybe they were maybe they wanted to have more to say but then they're like i don't can't think of anything else hope you enjoyed this comment yeah

Speaker 10 if you like this comment follow her more uh OP responded, her family is amazing.

Speaker 11 It sucks mine turned out like this. OP also commented, here is some clarification.
Her work has two separate locations, one office where she works and one retail where my family harassed people.

Speaker 11 My fiancé told them the company name and they just assumed they only had the retail location. And it wasn't just my sis and her boyfriend.
It was also my parents.

Speaker 10 That's so weird. Oh my God.

Speaker 10 Like, and of course they've never gotten this wackadoodle because this, you know, he's he's engaged to this person. Yeah.
They seem very like possessive over him in a way that they like.

Speaker 11 He said they've done this with all of his previous relationships. Every time he's dated someone.

Speaker 10 Yeah, that's not good. Because hasn't he technically been dating this fiance since he was like 18?

Speaker 10 He's 24 now and they've been dating for six years or for together for six years.

Speaker 11 But if, yeah, so it just seems the family's possessive of him and like, yeah, he might have to cut him out.

Speaker 10 It was like the math is silly. They're giving him a little bit of silly math.

Speaker 11 They're giving him no option.

Speaker 11 So update.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 11 I apologize for the delay in providing an update, just needed to collect my thoughts. If you want to see the previous post, you can check my profile.
I don't know how to work Reddit.

Speaker 11 My fiancé and I are still together and moving forward with our plans to get married. My sister and her boyfriend have gone back home and they're officially uninvited to the wedding.

Speaker 11 So now I'm back to searching for a best man. We've also gotten no contact with them.
I also sent a long text to my parents the day after everything went down and they never replied.

Speaker 11 At this point, I don't even know if they're going to show up to the wedding.

Speaker 11 In the past, we attempted to set boundaries with my mother because she's nosy as fuck, and that greatly upset her, which should have been the first red flag.

Speaker 11 Unfortunately, my fiancé did end up losing her position at work, which has been incredibly frustrating.

Speaker 10 We haven't told my parents.

Speaker 11 We haven't told my parents or any other family other than her parents, who have been very supportive through all of this, and I'm not sure if we will for a while, as it would mean talking to them.

Speaker 11 Thank you to everyone that has been supportive. We're taking things one step at a time and focusing on what's important, each other.
Sorry for ending it so cringy.

Speaker 10 It's not cringy. Cringy, bud.

Speaker 11 ETA, she lost her job because they caused a huge scene that made the coworkers uncomfortable. She was still in the probationary period and they didn't want people that would bring drama.

Speaker 10 Oh my god, that sucks.

Speaker 10 Because that's such an H, that is like a thing we learn about when we have like our harassment, like education stuff for HR: is like if people from outside of work come in and harass you within the workplace, that is like a work issue.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 That's so unfair.

Speaker 11 I, yeah, I mean, I'm never quick to be like, oh, cut people out of your life, especially cutting your family out of your life. But it seems his family's given him no choice.

Speaker 10 Like

Speaker 11 his family has basically said like, you're either going to be miserable your whole life or you have to cut us out. And he's going to cut them out.

Speaker 10 That's

Speaker 10 so strange for an entire, like, what kind of a vacuum were they in with each other that they were so convinced they needed to take this woman down.

Speaker 10 Like that they all four of them showed up like the freaking Scooby-Doo gang at an office or a retail spot to

Speaker 10 gotcha somebody.

Speaker 10 So weird. It's so

Speaker 10 silly.

Speaker 11 That was probably the silliest story we've ever heard.

Speaker 10 That's so weird. I feel so bad that you lost your job.
I know. I know.

Speaker 11 I've never been more supportive of cutting a family off than this story. I'm like, dude, they're going to make your life hell forever.

Speaker 10 It's also especially bad when you like explain yourself and you like explain why you need this space or whatever, and you don't even get met with a response.

Speaker 11 You don't get a response.

Speaker 11 Yeah, they're so far gone that I'm like, there's no sense. They're not going to go, oh, you're right.
I can't believe we've been doing this. Like,

Speaker 11 even meeting in the middle, they're going to be awful to you.

Speaker 10 So you hear these stories about

Speaker 10 like a mom who doesn't want anyone to end up with her son or like just like every relationship, no one is good enough for their son.

Speaker 10 And like, yeah, it just sounds like if that's been his experience this whole time, that there's no, no one's ever going to be good enough for him in their eyes and life. Yeah.

Speaker 10 That's hard.

Speaker 11 Unbelievable.

Speaker 10 It's wild that it's all four of them.

Speaker 11 Like his brother and his brother's wife also.

Speaker 10 And to not even answer the text.

Speaker 11 Yeah. Like they don't, they're not showing care for him.

Speaker 11 Like there are situations situations where I could be like, okay, the parents don't like the person you're with and they love you and they're they're being overprotective, but they don't seem to respect him either.

Speaker 10 Yeah, no, it's about them. Like that's the whole thing with ego, right? It's like, that's my son.
You know one's good enough for my son because it's mine.

Speaker 10 Therefore, it's like really about you in that moment.

Speaker 11 Yeah, it's very selfish.

Speaker 10 Oof. Awful.
What a strange, silly.

Speaker 11 Not overreacting, though. Nor.

Speaker 11 All right, our final story.

Speaker 11 Am I overreacting for threatening to take my sister to court after her toddler destroyed my $2,000 gaming setup because she said I should have baby-proofed my apartment?

Speaker 10 Huh? Rah-rah.

Speaker 10 Well, I mean, no, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 10 Hi, Reddit.

Speaker 11 I'm a 25-year-old woman, and I'm honestly at my breaking point with this one. So I, 25-year-old woman, am a student software developer and a pretty serious PC gamer in my free time.

Speaker 11 I live alone in a one-bedroom apartment that I've spent years making cozy and functional. I saved up for a long time to build my dream PC setup.

Speaker 11 Triple monitors, custom mechanical keyboard, ergonomic chair, the works. Altogether, my rig is worth a bit over $2,000 and I take care of it like it's a damn child.

Speaker 11 Last weekend, my older sister, who's 30, asked if she could crash at my place for one night because her apartment was being fumigated and her husband was out of town.

Speaker 11 She has a three-year-old son, Max, who's, let's say, spirited. I love him, but he's a little chaos goblin.
I hesitated, but she swore she'd keep an eye on him and that it'd be for one night.

Speaker 11 They show up Saturday afternoon, and immediately it's clear she wasn't kidding about Max being a handful.

Speaker 11 Within 10 minutes of arriving, he'd pulled four books off my shelf, thrown my house plants on the floor, and spilled juice on my area rug. I tried to stay chill.

Speaker 11 He's three, I get it, but I asked my sister politely to please keep him out of my office where my PC setup is. She rolls her eyes and goes, he's just exploring.
He's curious, it's normal.

Speaker 11 But she closes the office door anyway. Cut to Sunday morning.
I woke up to screaming.

Speaker 11 Max had apparently woken up before his mom, managed to open the office door, and decided my setup was his new jungle gym.

Speaker 11 He pulled down one of my monitors, cracking the screen. He stuck crackers into the PC's tower ventilation slots.
I'm not kidding.

Speaker 11 Yanked out my keyboard's keycaps and had colored on my chair with permanent marker. The cherry on top, he poured apple juice into the tower.
Into it. When I tell you I went silent, I mean dead silent.

Speaker 11 My sister comes in, sees the damage, and just says, oh no, in this incredibly flat tone, like someone knocked over a cup of coffee.

Speaker 11 I start freaking out and she has the audacity to say, you should have baby proofed the room if it was that important to you.

Speaker 11 I lost it. I told her that, one, she knew he wasn't supposed to be in there.
Two, this is my space, not a damn daycare.

Speaker 11 Three, baby proofing a $2,000 gaming setup is not a standard requirement for adults living alone. She told me to calm down and said that he's just a kid, stuff is replaceable.

Speaker 11 I told her she could replace it then. She said she didn't have the money right now, but maybe in a few months she could give me a few hundred.

Speaker 11 I told her that wasn't acceptable and that she needed to take full responsibility. She left in a huff and now my whole family is blowing up my phone.

Speaker 11 My mom says I'm being materialistic and should understand that my nephew didn't mean it. My dad said I should have locked the door if it was that important.

Speaker 11 My brother actually said, why do you even need three monitors anyway? That's kind of overkill.

Speaker 11 I've filed a claim claim with my insurance, but there's no guarantee it'll be covered since it was technically guest damage.

Speaker 11 I also told her that if she does not pay up, I'll take her to court for what happened. Now I'm getting texts from my sister demanding an apology for blaming her kid for being curious.

Speaker 11 I told her I'd drop it if she covered the cost of repairs and replacements, or at least met me halfway, and she blocked me. So, am I overreacting if I take my sister to court over this?

Speaker 10 Oh, that is so unfair. That

Speaker 10 sucks.

Speaker 10 That's awful.

Speaker 11 I, you know, like, I am understanding that like three-year-olds and stuff,

Speaker 11 there's so much they're going to do and like, there's so much that is forgivable. But this situation was so, like,

Speaker 11 there was so many preparations and so much like talked about before.

Speaker 11 It's like, dude, like, that's also your son. You are responsible for your three-year-old.
Yes. And like, that's, that is, I understand like it's a mixed bag.

Speaker 11 You don't know what kind of behavior your kid's going to elicit. But like, this is also screaming, like,

Speaker 11 this mom is not setting up any boundaries for this kid whatsoever. And, like, this type of behavior is like, is he's screaming for attention.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Yeah.
I'm like, as soon as if I was in an OP's position and this kid came in like that, I'd be like, oh, should we take him somewhere to tire him out?

Speaker 10 Because this is a lot for a little apartment. Yeah.
Yeah. Like, knocking house plants over and spilling within such a short amount of time is like, and this mom just non-reacting.
Yeah.

Speaker 10 And he's doing this mom and her kid a favor by letting them stay there.

Speaker 10 So he can't baby proof his whole setup by doing them a favor and letting them spend the night.

Speaker 11 Yeah, her place isn't baby proof because she doesn't have kids.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Babyproofing is expensive. Like, we're not going to do that unless there's kids living in that space.

Speaker 10 Can I say something a little crazy? How did this child wake up before their mom, get access to crackers and apple juice and

Speaker 10 coloring things?

Speaker 10 Kids are magical, you don't know. But I'm just like, did this mom just choose to ignore what was going on? I don't know, because.

Speaker 11 No, it's true. I mean, like,

Speaker 11 that's a lot of stuff. And I mean,

Speaker 10 this kid didn't just do that in like 30 seconds.

Speaker 10 That took time. Shoving crackers into a computer, pouring juice and drawing and knocking shit over.
That's loud noises that a mom should be reacting to. Yeah.
Yeah. A parent in general.

Speaker 11 I mean, look, it does happen. Obviously, me as a toddler, I managed to escape to a pool, but like,

Speaker 11 they are sneaky. But to me, it's just like, this is like, this isn't just like, oh, he's just like out exploring.
It's like, no, he's testing boundaries and he's pushing boundaries.

Speaker 11 He's doing destructive things to be destructive to see what the reaction is. And he's clearly just not getting a reaction.

Speaker 10 And it makes sense. It's the same thing that's happening to OP, that OP's not getting a reaction from their sister.

Speaker 10 And it seems like this,

Speaker 10 this person is just like ignoring the problem. Yeah.
Absolutely. On both ends of OP's problem and their kit.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 11 And it's so sad the family is immediately citing.

Speaker 10 Yeah, and just being so minimalizing of like, of minimalizing, is that a word? I don't know. But like that computer, this person, she's an engineer.

Speaker 10 She, she, I'm pretty sure she said she works as like a computer engineer or she's an engineer or something. This computer isn't just like a fun little play place for her.
She's a software developer.

Speaker 10 She's a software developer. That computer is everything.
That's beyond just the thousands of dollars she's invested into it to be her place. It's also her workplace.
Yeah.

Speaker 10 Like she absolutely can stand on business to pursue legal action.

Speaker 10 What sucks, though, is like when we've heard those, like when the legal actions happens and you win, sometimes that family member will just like put off paying and just like never pay.

Speaker 10 And it's just not fun.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I think also it feels like OP was like driven almost to

Speaker 10 take legal action because the family wasn't validating her loss.

Speaker 11 It's almost not the money. It's more like just like, hey, can you guys care about this?

Speaker 10 Like, I'm going to take legal action because no one is giving me the sympathy and like understanding for what I just lost. Yeah.

Speaker 10 That sucks. And it's thousands of dollars of equipment.

Speaker 11 That's a lot, man.

Speaker 11 Verdict not overreacting. Comments, honestly, wow, your sister's just something else, isn't she? I mean, cracking a monitor and pouring juice into a computer tower, that's peak chaos.

Speaker 11 And while I definitely sympathize with the family drama, you're absolutely right to be upset and even consider legal action because seriously, who behaves like that?

Speaker 11 It's just, I don't know if I would even bother arguing, to be honest, but at least you've got the right idea.

Speaker 11 And while it feels stressful now, eventually things will settle down and you'll look back on this with a good laugh. Maybe even get a nice settlement to pay for a new monitor because you deserve it.

Speaker 11 Someone else said she's an absent parent that wasn't watching her kid. She should absolutely replace it.

Speaker 11 Weren't y'all taught if you break something that belongs to someone else, you fix or replace it? Especially if it's due to negligence.

Speaker 11 I have two teens and barely owned anything until they were old enough. I also watched my kids like hawks at other homes because I was responsible if they destroyed something.

Speaker 11 Lastly, someone said babies explore an unfamiliar space, but that doesn't mean you let them destroy everything in front of them.

Speaker 11 I can guarantee you that your sister would not be so nonchalant if someone else's baby was doing that at her place. Your nephew broke your stuff, so now the mom has to go pay for it.

Speaker 11 I would say it would have been smart to lock any doors that you didn't want the baby to get access to, especially given how he was the first couple of days.

Speaker 10 Oh man, that sucks. That's awful.
I feel so bad for them. Like, oh, and also I'm just like going, it's normal.
They're exploring. It's like, there's like a carpet on fire.

Speaker 10 Like, yeah, you can't, you can't. Update.
That's an update, face. Update eyebrows.
Update. Update.
Update. Update.
Update. Update.
Update. You're going to take your shirt off

Speaker 10 to get to Angela. Not, not, not for any other reason.

Speaker 10 Update.

Speaker 11 Update. Oh, okay.

Speaker 10 Let's go.

Speaker 11 So, this update is from yesterday.

Speaker 10 I love when they're fresh. Okay.

Speaker 11 Just wanted to post a quick update since it's been a little under a week, and a few people asked what happened next.

Speaker 11 Things are better, pretty fucking weird, and still ongoing, but here's where we're at. Last Saturday, my brother-in-law came over to check out the damage himself.

Speaker 11 He actually brought Max, toddler, with him, which I was almost livid about at first, but he had a reason. He asked Max to try opening the office/slash closet door.
The kid couldn't do it.

Speaker 10 No!

Speaker 11 The door was too heavy for him.

Speaker 10 Shut the fuck up!

Speaker 11 You can probably guess where this is going. Brother-in-law offered to take my PC to the store that originally built it for me just to see what was fixable.

Speaker 11 I agreed, but asked for something in writing just so I had some peace of mind. We put together a little agreement that he'd be responsible for it while it was with him.

Speaker 11 Yeah, yeah, it was just a formality and would not hold much merit anywhere, but it helped me feel a bit more in control.

Speaker 11 On Monday, he dropped it off at the shop and gave them my number so they could keep me updated. He also told me he confronted my sister about how things played out.

Speaker 11 I sent him my original Reddit post too. He read the comments and apparently showed them to her.

Speaker 11 She still hasn't unblocked me and from what I've heard was not happy about the fact that my brother-in-law is actually listening to me.

Speaker 11 I also shared the post and some comments with my parents and brother since no one really believed me before. My parents don't fully get it, but they've at least stopped pushing back.

Speaker 11 My brother is more understanding now, though for some reason he mostly wanted to talk about how many people saw the post.

Speaker 11 I don't think either of these three will still care, really, and I'm fine if they see this.

Speaker 10 Do better.

Speaker 11 Anyway, I went to see the PC today, Wednesday here. The shop said it's mostly salvageable.

Speaker 11 It needs a very, very careful internal clean and a few fans replaced and some wiring fixed, but overall the main parts survived somehow.

Speaker 11 Brother-in-law told me he'll cover the cost of the repair, no hesitation. When I brought up what my sister said about not being able to pay even $200, he said she's lying.

Speaker 11 He also said he's not sure Max actually did all the damage. He thinks the door was left open on purpose, or that my sister might have even done some of it herself.

Speaker 10 Oh!

Speaker 11 Based on the height of the tower and where the crackers ended up, it didn't quite add up to a toddler acting alone.

Speaker 10 Weird! Why does she want to do that?

Speaker 11 I actually, you know, thinking back on it, like these slots and computers are pretty small. Like, that takes some accuracy, and three-year-olds are not good at like

Speaker 11 perfectly measuring things and pouring things.

Speaker 10 And why would a three-year-old

Speaker 11 toddlers are destructive in a like kind of incoherent way? Exactly. Not in a like precise way.

Speaker 10 In a stupid way. Like, why would a toddler destruct it in like a very likely?

Speaker 11 This takes like understanding how a computer works.

Speaker 10 Wait, that's so crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 10 This is. This story went from like a two to like an eight because the update.

Speaker 11 Like, like the only toddler I think who could be capable of this would be like RIT guy Tim.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like him as a toddler probably could have been.

Speaker 10 Like I know how to really fuck that thing.

Speaker 11 But he wouldn't because he respected it. That's

Speaker 11 great. This continues.
Apparently, she's been telling him I have a gambling addiction. I did get a bit hooked on Genshin like four years ago, I guess.

Speaker 11 And that maybe this whole thing will wake me up, which is new. She used to be supportive or at least indifferent.
No idea where that switch came from. So yeah, that's where we're at.

Speaker 11 My PC is being cleaned up and fixed, and my brother-in-law is covering the cost. Sister still has me blocked and won't talk to me.

Speaker 11 Still tempted to start something with her, to be honest, especially if she actually did all of this on purpose. Still not ruling out small claims court, depending on how things go.

Speaker 11 Thanks again to everyone who responded to the original post. Seeing how many people understood what happened really helped me hold the line with my family when I felt like I was losing my mind.

Speaker 11 One thing I've been turning over in my head lately is what if my sister did do something to my setup on purpose? I don't want to believe that.

Speaker 11 It feels like a stretch, but the more I think about it, the less so I guess. But then I remember how she acted when I asked her to keep Max out of the office.

Speaker 11 The eye roll and the he's just curious comments like she didn't take any of it seriously.

Speaker 11 And now hearing from my brother-in-law that she's been saying I have a crippling gambling, gaming, whatever addiction and needed to grow up. It's just weird.

Speaker 11 She used to be cool about it, never super into games herself, but she got that it was important to me. If something changed, I don't know when or why.

Speaker 11 And if this was some weird way to make a point or teach me a lesson, that's messed up. Yeah.
You're not our mom. How about talking first instead of this?

Speaker 11 I don't want to jump to conclusions, but the more I think about it, the less it makes sense that Max could have done all of that alone. It's sick if she blamed her own son for it.

Speaker 11 So yeah, not accusing anyone outright, but that thought is there now.

Speaker 11 And if you're my sister reading this, which I'm guessing you are, because I bet you'd love to look at the comments that are on your side a lot. I don't know why you blocked me.

Speaker 11 I don't know what shifted in your head about all this, but if you actually had anything to do with damaging my setup, whether it was on purpose or just through complete carelessness, fuck you.

Speaker 11 You know I worked hard for that. You know what that rig meant to me, and you know I would never do something like that to your stuff.

Speaker 11 And if Max really did all of that on his own, I hope you're paying closer attention now. Not for my sake, but for his.

Speaker 11 Read the comments on my first post again from other parents and people with younger siblings who clearly know better than you. That's all.
Thanks for reading those who did.

Speaker 10 I've never seen a Reddit address the person. Oh, it's happened here before when I've seen Jane cry.

Speaker 10 I, wow.

Speaker 11 I'm honestly on that side because like a... I'm trying to think of like a three-year-old, but like destroying a computer in the way that she's describing takes so much precision.

Speaker 11 and the fact that it wasn't like loud enough to wake people up means it had to have been done carefully is kind of where I'm thinking like that's well and her trying to justify that like that means he brought crackers and juice from other places

Speaker 10 and apple juice access and marker access and not wake anybody up in that time

Speaker 10 weird weird weird

Speaker 11 I wish I could see the chair with the markers because you could probably decipher how long someone's arm is and their and like their wrist based on the strokes. Whoa.

Speaker 11 Because a three-year-old can't is not, but I bet you.

Speaker 10 Drop the stroke. And the effort in the strokes, because kids, when they're young, they don't know how to freaking hold a marker.
So it's like shaky and like hard. Yeah.

Speaker 10 But adults are like, whoa, la, la. Yeah, it's like very clearly a double.

Speaker 11 I wish we could see photos of this stuff because I think by looking at the photos, we'd be like, this is way too precise.

Speaker 10 Whoa.

Speaker 10 Oh my God.

Speaker 10 The sister hurt us and she's destroying her.

Speaker 11 Guys,

Speaker 11 we are not overreacting right now. The power has gone out.

Speaker 10 This is amazing.

Speaker 10 That was so weird.

Speaker 11 So the power went out.

Speaker 10 We're not overreacting to it.

Speaker 11 But Courtney, you had one last thought on that last story.

Speaker 10 Oh, on the last story. I was just saying, I think the sister is jealous of OP because she has a nightmare toddler.
Toddlers can be nightmares, and we love them.

Speaker 10 But, like, imagine seeing your sister doing well and having her own private place, and you get a little mad, you get a little jealous.

Speaker 11 Having a sick gaming setup like that,

Speaker 10 I'd be jealous too. Also, other thought I had that I told Angela:

Speaker 10 when the power goes out in a room, when I was a teenager, if that happened, I would immediately think of which boy I would make out with in the room.

Speaker 10 Who are you thinking?

Speaker 10 I love this. Let's make swarms.

Speaker 10 Guys,

Speaker 11 thank you for watching.

Speaker 11 If you're listening,

Speaker 10 the power's out.

Speaker 10 Does it sound different?

Speaker 10 Yeah. Suddenly we're going.

Speaker 11 I'm so glad we didn't lose this footage.

Speaker 11 And thank you both for being here.

Speaker 11 And thank you all for watching. We'll see you next Saturday.

Speaker 10 Goodbye.
