Am I The A**hole?
104 Plays1 year ago
Pssst! Hilig mo din ba makinig ng problema ng iba, magbasa ng screenshots, at mang judge ng ibang tao na di mo naman kilala? KAMI RIN! Kaya yun ang ginawa namin for this episode!
Medyo nag :sparkles: mental health break:sparkles: muna kami (SELF-CARE GUIZE, ENEBE ) at dahil nag l-lag pa ang mga utak namin at nag rerecover from the recent happeningz in our lives (oo, ikkwento namin sa podcast, okay?? #SaTamangPanahon #aldubnation), chill lang muna tayo this episode at nagbasa nalang muna kami ng mga AITA posts sa Reddit.
Dahil minsan, okay din naman panandaliang makatakas sa sariling problema, and what better way to do that than read and talk about other people's problems, right? hehe (daming sinabi, wala lang talaga kami maisip na topic)
DISCLAIMER:
Parehas kaming hindi sober dito, kaya sorry nalang po in advance sa kalat huehuehue

Podcast Return and Light Topics Discussion
00:00:01
Speaker
Are you ready? I'm ready. Hello, I'm Daryll. And I'm Cash. And you're listening to... Is this thing on? The podcast. Hello! We're back! Where have we been? We've been in the dungeons of capitalism.
00:00:29
Speaker
We've been to hell and back. We've been working. And we've been tired. But I know it's not an excuse. So at least another bell. We're here. We're showing up. We're like, nope, this podcast is not dying yet. We're back. We have to be back. We're giving it CPRs right now.
Reacting to 'Am I the Asshole?' Posts
00:00:51
Speaker
But for this episode, we've actually decided to go engine lighter.
00:00:59
Speaker
Well, so for today, since light topic, I'm going to talk to you about the asshole, Reddit posts online and just react to them. So it sounds pretty simple, but let's see how entertaining this can be, right? Okay, let's get
Cultural Conflict: To Bow or Not to Bow
00:01:20
Speaker
to it. Here's the first story.
00:01:22
Speaker
Am I the asshole for refusing to bow to my Korean fiance's grandparents?
00:01:36
Speaker
My fiancé is Korean American, and I am American. We've met each other's parents before, and she's met my grandparents, but I've yet to meet her grandparents because they live in Korea.
00:01:54
Speaker
We are planning a trip to Korea as soon as it's possible so that I can meet her grandparents. She's asking me to bow to her grandparents when we meet, since respecting the elders is a big deal in Korean culture. Not just like a cashwell dip, like a full-on 90-degree bow. So Sabe Lito, I said I'd rather not, since I found it emasculating, and that
00:02:24
Speaker
and that I just don't bow to anyone
00:02:29
Speaker
She said that it was important to her culture, but I pointed out that she didn't bow to my grandparents or parents. I just think it's hypocritical to expect me to bow to her grandparents when she didn't bow to mine. Her grandparents aren't my superior just because of their age. Why should I have to bow? She said.
00:02:56
Speaker
It was just one tiny thing I could do to earn their respect, but I said that if it was so tiny, it should be fine even if I don't do it, and that I respect myself, and that's why I am not going to bow, and she was going to have to respect my decision. She thinks I'm an asshole for that.
Respecting Cultural Traditions
00:03:21
Speaker
Am I the asshole?
00:03:26
Speaker
That's so stupid. Yeah, he's the asshole of the bat. It's just a small thing that would be appreciated.
00:04:02
Speaker
Indeed, I would respect somebody's culture, even though I don't understand it. But when you go inside, let's say, a mosque, the map... Yeah, you wouldn't say that. You wouldn't. Oh my god, I'm American. Why aren't you battling to my Jesus? Or you would at least adapt to the customs or how things are done there because you are in their space.
00:04:10
Speaker
Instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it, instead of doing it
00:04:28
Speaker
Correct, very correct. Also, to the fiancé, don't marry this guy. I think she wouldn't. I hope she wouldn't. Please don't. Also, the context is very important, I say. Parang gets caught if the guy would be mezzo-weirded out, if...
00:04:48
Speaker
It was the grandparents who went to America. It's not how things are done here, so he wouldn't expect somebody to do other people's customs just because that's their custom. You're not in the... It's paying respect to the space you're
Cooking vs Dining Out Debate
00:05:05
Speaker
occupying, literally. And he went to Korea. That's how things are done there. And I think it's very... It's not below you to pay respect to somebody else.
00:05:17
Speaker
also like bowing to anybody especially if you are outside that culture does not really make you less of a person funny story
00:05:28
Speaker
So the school from elementary to high school was a Korean school. So we were used to bowing. What? They didn't ask us to, but we saw that our Korean classmates would do that to pay respect to them and they feel respected and we would like to show our respect then. So we would bow. I wouldn't do that though.
00:05:56
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it.
00:06:23
Speaker
It's not adaptable. So every time we would go to school, we would go to elementary school or high school. Now we're going to college. Now we're going to go to U.P., right? I don't want to go to U.P. I don't want to go to U.P. I don't want to go to U.P. I don't want to go to U.P. I want to go to U.P. I want to go to U.P. I want to go to U.P.
00:06:52
Speaker
this is our space though yeah like it was hard to you know unlearn it would you be the asshole if you wouldn't bow no it wouldn't make me the asshole because it's not a it's not a thing you know it's not a thing in real life
00:07:21
Speaker
Oh my god. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not going there.
00:07:46
Speaker
Okay, game. Your turn to read, Keshe. This is the next story. Am I the asshole for very rarely or almost never wanting to go to restaurants because my girlfriend makes food that's just as good, if not better than restaurant food? That sounds nice, though. Okay.
00:08:06
Speaker
What? Okay, it sounds sweet at first. Well, let's read it. Okay, let's read it. I've been with my wonderful girlfriend for a few years now and we usually get along great aside from this current issue.
00:08:18
Speaker
She's a self-proclaimed foodie, which I honestly think is just selling herself short. She's a food genius. She can taste and smell a dish and then turn around and recreate it. She's like a food prodigy or something. Or even make it better than the original. If you taste something and wonder,
00:08:40
Speaker
What's that super subtle flavor? And she'll tell you it's anchovy, paste, lavender and other and some other obscure spice. When someone is cooking something and they go, it's missing something. She can tell you exactly what it needs. Wow. She's amazing. Okay, so smell and taste.
00:09:12
Speaker
Again, not for that conversation. Let's get back to the reddit. That's not it either. She heard about a lost family recipe in the next week. Bam, I'm eating my grandmother's homemade sausage again for the first time in 15 years. Wow, she has a family guest. She's like... Can I recreate? Yeah.
00:09:40
Speaker
It's gotten to the point where I don't see any point in going out to eat pretty much ever except maybe her birthday. Even the most exotic ingredients aren't out of her reach either and even though it's not about cost, I've saved up more being with her than I ever had in any other relationship. The only places we really go for date night is ramen. She can't figure out how to make the noodles but she still tries so it's just a matter of time and sushi.
00:10:10
Speaker
Our anniversary was recently and I had noticed that our local fish counter was selling sushi-grade fish along with the rolling mats in Nori. So I suggested that we have homemade sushi for our anniversary dinner before going out and she got upset and said, I'm not learning how to make sushi because then I'll never get a real date ever again.
00:10:37
Speaker
We ended up going out instead. Oh, okay. It kind of took me by surprise that she got so mad though. She lightly mentioned wanting to go out occasionally to places like Olive Garden because she likes the red sauce. Her other places she likes the food and now that I'm thinking about it, she's gotten kind of gloomy because I've asked her to cook on date nights instead of going out more often.
00:11:09
Speaker
She also brought up that food she cooks tastes better to me because she's tasting and smelling it while it cooks so her senses are bugged by the time it's served actually that's true but she but she has the most acute sense of smell slash taste I've ever seen so I kind of think it's just an excuse
00:11:28
Speaker
I just don't think it's worth it to go out and pay restaurant food prices when we can stay home for home food prices and have food that's just as excellent. So, Reddit. I might asshole for not wanting to pay a restaurant to cook my meals because I practically have a private chef of my very own. To sum things up, is he an asshole, Dao, for not wanting
Acknowledging Partner's Desires
00:11:51
Speaker
to bring out the girlfriend?
00:11:54
Speaker
to restaurants because the girlfriend just cooks as good no not as good so much better so much better than restaurant food yes i think you are not an asshole
00:12:14
Speaker
Oh my god! This is an eye opener as your best friend. Really? I don't think you're an asshole though. Oh my god! I wanted to explain first why he is not the asshole. For not bringing the girlfriend out to dinner because she cooks better. Okay, yeah, yeah.
00:12:38
Speaker
right so i don't think i don't think he's the asshole okay you have answered that i want your explanation i want to hear it like this better make sense bitch girl i'ma bring it to you okay go so i don't think this guy is an asshole let me put this very straightforwardly simply because she cooks better than the food at the restaurant
00:13:06
Speaker
If they cooked at home, because I don't appreciate them, I don't have a partner, right? And that's like, girl, it's a thing you do better than literally everybody else. I want to appreciate that. And I want to celebrate that. I want to celebrate your skill of
00:13:35
Speaker
literally being able to cook better than literally everybody else. And I shouldn't be the asshole for wanting to want or long for your food over other else's food, right? But I want to bring you to dates that aren't food-based.
00:14:02
Speaker
But to make sure that I spend quality time with you, I would bring you to like a museum, to like places 90. Am I the asshole to love what you do over other people's doing?
00:14:26
Speaker
Am I the asshole though? Please tell me. No, you are on the same page. Okay, they want me to answer if you are the asshole. Are we the asshole? Yes, you are the asshole. What? Oh my god. I think this is a guy thing.
00:14:48
Speaker
I think this is a guy thing. No, no, no. Let me explain. Even though, the witch says a lot, not witch says a lot, because I'm talking about your male experience through
Division of Labor in Relationships
00:14:59
Speaker
life. That doesn't get why this is being an asshole. Oh, okay. Interesting. You want to hear? I want to hear it. Let me take a shot. I want to hear it. Okay. Here are the reasons why the guy is the asshole.
00:15:16
Speaker
Number one, it's obvious that she loves cooking, obviously. She has not just the talent, she has a fucking gift for it. And she appreciates it. Now, that being said, even though she does it better, for her, it's an experience. It's a different experience when you're eating something versus you're cooking or making something. Now, the reason why she would not like to do that every time
00:15:45
Speaker
It's because of the labor. Even if, you know, you like to do something. If you do it every fucking day, you'll get sick of it. You'll get tired of it, right? So that's the thing with her. It's the labor. It's like he didn't mention anywhere in the post if he's actually helping with the cooking process. It sounds like she's the only one who's doing the cooking. While paying for less.
00:16:12
Speaker
Yeah, like, yeah, and he's just there to eat, to enjoy. Well, yes, he appreciates her gift. And yes, in Alumeon, like, of course, that sounds so sweet, Nabana, he would never want to eat.
00:16:26
Speaker
somebody else is cooking but mine but in reality the labor that goes into that that's so f***ing tiring man give me a break no man i love this but like you never take me out there's a thoughtfulness to not want the girl to lift a finger i think
00:16:44
Speaker
It's like girls are empowered and they can do everything and anything and break the glass ceiling.
00:17:00
Speaker
But there are still a lot of girls still would like to be pampered. Under all of the tough, you know, I can do this on my own. I'm independent and power and shit. For sure. All of that. We still want to be taken care of. I think this is the same with men like y'all are strong and shit. But you also want to be pampered. Why can't we like take care of each other? Yeah, outside our passion centers.
00:17:28
Speaker
You might work around like this, but it's not necessarily eating anymore. But like this, but like this, but like this, but like this, but like this, but like this, but like this, but like this, but like this,
00:17:48
Speaker
But okay, I'm very thoughtful. Thank you, that's very thoughtful. But at the same time, I invalidate what I want to try other foods. Like, I get it. My cooking is fucking good. But I still want to experience that because I love food, right? She mentioned she's a foodie, right? So it means she wants to explore and experience other cookings aside from her own and maybe recreate them later.
00:18:14
Speaker
But doesn't that invalidate my experience? I also want to eat other food, but I want to eat your food. Yes, and that is so sexy, but...
00:18:30
Speaker
What I'm saying is I get tired if I do this every fucking day is what I'm saying. I love that you love my cooking. I will cook for you like four days a week. Four days a week. I will cook for you three days a week. Yes, three days. The majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time, the majority of the time,
00:18:59
Speaker
Okay, so now that you've heard my side, I am going to ask you again. Is he the asshole? I don't think...
00:19:10
Speaker
Oh my god, you're selfish, you're not... Just so that I don't get cancelled. I have to re-evaluate my values. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What is the assumption that women should be in the kitchen? Which it shouldn't. Oh my god, my head hurts! My head hurts!
00:19:38
Speaker
I'm pretty heartbroken. I thought everything was okay between us, but she thinks we should go to premarital, pre-engagement counseling, and the division of labor needs to change over a serious sit-down conversation. See? She's really not helping with the cookie.
00:20:00
Speaker
He would be the asshole if
Pregnancy Conflict and Entitlement
00:20:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:07
Speaker
the assumption is the girl is the one that does all the labour. Because that's fucking unfair.
00:20:19
Speaker
Right? I think if he was involved in the process, he would also get why you cannot simply do it every fucking meal. I have been in a relationship where the person did all the cooking.
00:20:39
Speaker
I did not take part of the process, but in other domestic chores, I did not just share the burden, I also took it.
00:20:53
Speaker
There were other tasks that you took on.
00:21:12
Speaker
And we can also say that relatively, it's a heavier task, right? So the exhibition, every meal ever since, was made by the girl and that is so exhausting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:38
Speaker
If that was the premise, then I would change my stand. And yes, Guy, you are the fucking actor. I am, I'm so, congratulations. I don't know if I'm going to change my job, but I'm going to chop down freaking onions. I'm going to take her out. And yeah, fine, like take her out. Daba, take her out. Let her know that despite taking her out, her cooking is still better.
00:22:09
Speaker
Good luck with your comment. Good lord, completely you are the asshole. Read the last line, dude. You said you have your own private chef. He did say that, like he was paying her. Yeah, I did say that. Yeah, the motive was like, why would I pay for service if you are already there? Serving me, right? It was very...
00:22:34
Speaker
All right, let's go to our next, am I the asshole topic? Am I the asshole for calling out my kid's future stepmom for treating me like a surrogate? Okay.
00:22:53
Speaker
Oh, hi. So the post goes, I, 29-year-old female, dated a guy, Joe, 30-year-old male, for three months before he left me to go back to his ex, Kim, 30-year-old female. Right after we broke up, I found out I was pregnant and now I'm at 24 weeks.
00:23:19
Speaker
I let him know and he was ecstatic. Turns out his girlfriend had fertility issues and would likely never be able to get pregnant naturally and he has always wanted to be a father. Getting back together was out of the question for both of us so he's still with his girlfriend.
00:23:46
Speaker
Joe was only allowed at the initial appointment because of COVID-19 and we found out I was having twins. Thank you. She's having twins. So sorry for you. So according to Joe, when he told Kim she had a mental breakdown about her infertility and wanted to talk to me,
00:24:09
Speaker
I met them at their house and Kim stated that she wanted to be involved in my pregnancy because she would eventually be the children's stepmother.
00:24:21
Speaker
she started telling me that i needed to do a home birth that i needed to formula feed so that they could have the babies half of the week that she wanted one boy and one girl and that she wanted the kid to call her mama since they would be calling me mommy
00:24:46
Speaker
I shut her down and I said, make the best choices for my children and my body and left.
00:24:56
Speaker
Kim continued to be overbearing and texted me every day about my eating habits, exercise habits, and bitching about how her job wouldn't let her take maternity leave. At the virtual genetics counseling appointment, she attended instead of Joe and took over the whole meeting trying to talk about her family history, which wasn't relevant.
00:25:24
Speaker
When it came time for my 20 week level 2 scan, they allowed me one guest and Joe suggested I take Kim instead of him, which I refused to do. Joe did end up coming and he found out the gender because I wanted to keep it a surprise for me so we could throw a gender reveal party.
00:25:49
Speaker
I put a pregnancy announcement on my social media and then put up an announcement saying that they- She put up an announcement. She put up a pregnancy announcement on her social media. And she said they were expecting twins the non-traditional way and how blessed she was Sabina. I was irritated, but I kept my mouth shut. Then
00:26:18
Speaker
She threw a gender reveal party and posted it on social media. I wasn't even invited. She also announced that she's having a baby shower.
00:26:38
Speaker
I commented on her posts and told her to stop treating me like a surrogate, that the kids weren't hers, and that Jo didn't have any claim or custody of the kids until they were born. I then called Jo and reiterated all of this and stated that I would not be seeing either them until we met to family court and that my mother would be my birthing partner.
00:27:07
Speaker
He and Kim and some of her friends and family are saying that I am an asshole and her mother even called and insisted I give her one of my babies. Like this is the parent trap? So am I the asshole?
00:27:30
Speaker
bitch yeah no no you're not the asshole kim and joe are the asshole definitely bitch they're so fucking entitled and the girl she's just like delusional already like hello showing up to the doctor's appointment and telling the doctor about your family history like it's not even like delusional
00:27:54
Speaker
Yeah, so like, Keshe, to get back to the conversation, do you think that the person who posted this was an asshole? No, not at all. One would say, nah parang, ek girl, baah hai makhas hai si la ini involve, like, others would victim-blame her that way, and say, baah hai makhas hai ini involve, yung la lah hai in the first place, baah hai kapamayag, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, ek smanayag, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:18
Speaker
But I think she was just thinking of the kids as well. Of course, it would be better for the kids to have both parents, if not together, at least co-parenting, right? So I think she was just nice about it then for the guidance and you know. But she would, like, one would never think of this to happen. This is so outrageous. Like, it's fucking psycho, psycho movie shit. Yeah, definitely, Ate, you are the asshole.
00:28:50
Speaker
You're the asshole.
Giving Away a Pet Without Consent
00:28:52
Speaker
Well, let's start to do one more. One more Reddit thread. Okay. Am I the asshole for giving my girlfriend's cat away?
00:29:06
Speaker
Am I the asshole? Am I the asshole for giving my girlfriend's cat away? My girlfriend and I have been together since we were 13. Sweethearts, high school sweethearts. We're 20 now. She's had her cat for the duration of our relationship.
00:29:38
Speaker
I'm gonna go ahead and say this now. I don't care for cats since I'm allergic to them and hers was no exception. I'm not really an animal person in general, but if I were to get one, it wouldn't be a cat. They're disgusting and they creep me out. Oh my god, fuck you. You are the asshole.
00:30:02
Speaker
I don't know how to say that. But in general, I am suspicious of people who do not like animals. Like any animal at all. Right? Because I'm an animal too, why don't you? No. It's a no for me. That's good. Anyway, okay.
00:30:24
Speaker
My girlfriend and I moved in together at 18 and I was always under the impression that she would leave the cat with her parents since she knew how much I didn't like them. Long story short, the cat came with her and while I wasn't thrilled about it, I allowed it to stay under the conditions that it wouldn't sleep in our bed, it wouldn't sit on the furniture and it wouldn't go into my office space. To be fair, he's allergic, so my point is not that bad.
00:30:59
Speaker
These are the spaces that I occupy the most and I'm allergic to them. So I think he's not an asshole here.
00:31:11
Speaker
Over the course of the last two years, I would come home from work and my girlfriend would be chilling on the couch with the cat after I'd asked her not to. How would you ask a cat not to occupy the space that you're in? You can't just say, I'm sorry, I'm here. Leave. No.
00:31:31
Speaker
Okay, I'd get ready to climb into bed and there'd be cat hair on my sheet. So I know she let it into the bedroom. Not to mention she has what I feel like is an unhealthy obsession with this thing.
00:31:48
Speaker
She's constantly talking to and cooing at it like it's a person and he drives me up. But that's what you do with bed sloane. I know. For a while, I just slept in my office so I wouldn't have to deal with an itchy face and puffy eyeballs. With us being stuck at home now, it's even harder for me to have my own space. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I went into my office and found her cat sitting in the window.
00:32:15
Speaker
That's what cats do. They just go anywhere and everywhere. Okay. I've asked time and time again for her cat to stay out of my space. And I feel like she's deliberately disrespecting my wishes. So I found a walk-in surrender shelter today and dropped the cat off. Oh my god. Oh my god. I haven't told my girlfriend and being that it's an indoor-outdoor cat, I hope she just thinks it ran away.
00:32:45
Speaker
I love my girlfriend but her cat was legitimately our only source of conflict.
Choosing Between Pet and Partner
00:32:50
Speaker
No. You are the asshole. Oh no. I wouldn't know what to do here. Like, feeling if he would have just like talked to her again about look like I love you but
00:33:06
Speaker
It's not that. The cats are just like... Annoying me. No, indeed you can say it's also being allergic. I cannot... Or so we think. Because if I was the girlfriend, here's the thing. If I was the girlfriend and like, I mean, I love my pet. But if I were to choose between my boyfriend and my pet, I'm sorry to say this. In this case, I have to choose a young guy.
00:33:34
Speaker
And your pet. I mean, I wouldn't get rid of my pet, but I would put her somewhere she would still be taken care of. And at the same time, I can still visit her, you know, from time to time. It's not like I'm going to get rid of the cat. Like, I'll just let my parents take care of her so I can still visit her. Get her adopted by a friend.
00:34:01
Speaker
So I think if the guy just talked to her girlfriend and if she was, and if he was not lying when he said, it means the other parts of their relationships is like fine, like they're doing great. If he would have just talked to the girl and explained and asked again nicely, I think the girl would have said, okay,
00:34:34
Speaker
He's a fucking coward for not just, you know, talking to the girlfriend. Not just a coward, but also an asshole. Oh yeah, he's definitely an asshole. This guy is definitely an asshole. Right. If you were the cat owner, so you have a partner who you love so much, then... No, I would like literally drop you off. Drop who?
00:34:58
Speaker
My, my partner. Really? Yeah. Let's say you love, you love, I love your partner, huh? Keshe, Keshe, I love you so much. I love you so much. But if you were to do this to me... Do what? If you would sell...
00:35:13
Speaker
I love that you love your cats but I'm allergic to them but you're not letting me know that or at least emphasizing that yeah like you letting me know that it's okay like oh you're allergic blah blah blah
00:35:38
Speaker
I don't know. I'll just have hives or something. It's very inconvenient, but it's not super serious. It's very inconvenient though.
00:35:53
Speaker
Yeah, like not medically serious, but super inconvenient. Super, super, super inconvenient because like I'm going to be covered like I'm a guy on Facebook, I'm a guy who is super serious. Okay, so in other words, this is a question of would I choose my pets over you? Yes. I would choose you. You have the option to choose my option.
00:36:21
Speaker
Yeah, I would choose you, though. It's not like you're gonna throw them off the curb like you need them for adoption. That's why I would choose you. Aww, thank you! What do you think about this? Because I'm a romantic partner. You're not a romantic partner. You would choose the romantic partner. I would choose the romantic partner. As long as the prerequisites have been laid onto my table the first time around.
00:36:51
Speaker
And that part didn't permanently, voila, I'm going to have to pay for it. I don't know, I don't know if I can compromise both ways. But to sell, no, not actually to sell. He didn't sell, right? He just gave it up for adoption. He didn't make a shelter. He didn't make a shelter for adoption without the consent.
00:37:11
Speaker
yeah that was yeah or even the knowledge so not just the concept but also the knowledge of the other partner because of that though you are the asshole
00:37:26
Speaker
Like, I think it would be okay for me to put your pets up for adoption as long as the consent gets to it. Okay, here's an interesting question. What if the cat owner in your partner did this without your knowledge you never found out until after 15 years later?
00:37:55
Speaker
You've gone through hell and back and you've been through a lot of shit and you've conquered all those shit together. So many shit together. You were like strong. You were strong. Yeah. And then he was confident enough to tell you to finally like own up to what he did. 15 years ago, he said, Darryl, do you remember your cat? Do you remember Damon and how he got lost?
00:38:23
Speaker
And he was like, yeah, I remember it. And then he said, I have to tell you something. I gave up demon for adoption because I couldn't take the allergies anymore. The question is, how will you react?
00:38:40
Speaker
I gave up payment for adoption because I couldn't take the hives anymore. I'm sorry. I hope you forgive me. It has haunted me every fucking day of my life. And I wanted to complain to you and let you know. Will you please forgive me? I think I would say yes. Yeah.
00:39:06
Speaker
I would forgive you. I would say like, Oh, I'm so sorry. I was able to like understand.
00:39:30
Speaker
either Angaling either Mahalamal Mo'ako or like or Angalingamangonipola. It doesn't stop there. I know, okay. Just as your best friend, I just really want to make sure that what you're saying is true. No, you know that it's true. You saw that. It's true. Unless like medical professionals with
00:39:59
Speaker
Yeah, and it came out positive. Okay, oh yeah, okay, yes.
00:40:08
Speaker
There is no gaslighting there though. Aww, that is so fucking sweet. I would be upset. I would be upset, but this is just because the thing has already happened. Like, it's been 15 years. Yeah. I would like really value our relationship more. What if five years? I don't know. Cut one month ago.
00:40:37
Speaker
I don't know, 30 seconds. Oh, okay. Like, really hurt Sabu. To give justice. I don't know. It's okay. But I don't know, 30 seconds worth of Sabu. I don't know, I don't know. No, we're not gonna. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know.
00:41:09
Speaker
Oh my god, don't you put this on me. You took my pet away.
00:41:26
Speaker
I am the victim. This is not of my consent. No, no, no. I mean, you choosing to forgive me is also a political move.
00:41:35
Speaker
You know why? Because I would feel now, oh my god, this person has forgiven me for this huge sin that I did against him. And I would be at your mercy, and you can use that card every fucking time. It gets small. It's a power move. Now, I will forgive you.
00:41:59
Speaker
I think it definitely is. But also, what you did before though was a power move and I chose to let it go. Was it? Yes! You chose to work on my vulnerabilities. I didn't. To get to your way. I just gave your cut away. Exactly. Like, why the fuck?
00:42:23
Speaker
Like, why the fuck would you do that behind my back, Kesh? If not for a political power move. Fuck you, Kesh. Because you know that you are more valuable than a fucking cat. That is a power move. It is. It definitely is.
00:42:46
Speaker
It's a move of desperation, giving your cat away. It's not more of a power move. But given this Reddit thread, you know, Kesh, that I would give value to you over my cats. Aww, bitch! Or my cats' children. That's too cheesy. Or their grandchildren. Bitch, that's too cheesy. Oh my god. I know, right?
00:43:13
Speaker
I don't know how to read...
