Me? ... Obsessed? .... No no no no no no no ...

A shy crush, one reckless wish, and a horror movie that’s way too good to forget. Robert’s back with me, and our night out watching Obsession sparks a real conversation about what happens when people refuse to say the obvious thing out loud, then act surprised when everything spirals. We keep it spoiler-free, but we do pull the thread on insecurity, “having game,” and why direct communication is the least scary option.

Then we dive into a full round of Gremlin Guidance relationship advice, starting with a question that always gets people fired up: is it toxic to feel turned on when your boyfriend gets possessive? We break down the difference between controlling jealousy and genuine protection when someone won’t respect your no. From there, we tackle the anxiety behind not missing your spouse during time apart, and why alone time in a healthy relationship can be a reset, not a red flag.

Things get sharper when we talk dating boundaries and seriousness: how long is “too long” to wait to meet a partner’s family and how to ask the question without turning it into an interrogation. We also go deep on a dream job opportunity that requires moving to another state, plus one of the most upsetting topics: group chats that degrade women and involve non-consensual photos. We end lighter, but still honest, with the “perfect man” who’s the worst kisser and what you can do about it.

Robert Returns And Drinks

Speaker 0:12

Okay, cheers. Cheers. Oh, geez. Okie dokie. Okay.

Speaker 1 0:17

Well, I had a shot.

Speaker 0:18

I know you did. I thought you were having that as like a sipper. Okay.

Speaker 1 0:21

That was a sipper.

Speaker 0:23

Robert is back on the podcast. Welcome back.

Speaker 1 0:27

Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 0:28

And we have fixed the mic's situation. It ended up being a really easy fix, and I feel a little stupid about it, but we turned up the volume. Okay, it was a little more than that. I at some point in the move, like when I switch around the studio, I obviously turned the volume all the way down. Plus, I need to hit a different button if there's two microphones in use as opposed to just one. Okay, it was a really simple fix. At least it wasn't expensive, or I needed a new microphone, but it did make me feel like a dum-dum. But oh well, what can we do? At least it's fixed.

Speaker 1 1:08

But it works now.

Speaker 1:08

Now you can hear him. He's not a smart, he's not a small echo in the background. Okay, episode drink of the week. He just had a shot of Tito's, and I have a uh Tito's and cherry twist Alani. Mainly because it matches the cherry? Yeah, this one's cherry.

Speaker 1 1:30

That color?

Speaker 1:31

Yeah, I know. But I liked it, it matches the color of my sweater. So I was in a matchy mood. Also, I didn't really feel like making a full on cocktail today. But we're doing this podcast actually, we're filming pretty late because you're constantly working. So I had you squeeze this into your very, very busy schedule. So thank you for making the time to sit down and answer our gremlin guidance questions.

Speaker 1 1:56

Of course, I've missed the crowd.

Speaker 2:00

Um, before we do get started with the gremlin guidance questions, which a lot of you did write in specifically for him. You put his name in the subject line. I pulled those.

Speaker 1 2:11

They know my name.

Speaker 2:12

Yeah, I introduce everyone on the podcast. You're not you might be faceless, but you're not nameless. So, but before we get into the gremlin guidance questions, I do want to talk

Obsession Movie Premise And Reactions

Speaker 2:24

about something that we recently saw, the movie Obsession. Okay, I wanted to talk about it because we went and saw it in theaters, and I don't want to give any spoilers because even though it's been out for like two weeks, it's still it was such a good movie that I want people to go see it. I don't want to spoil it.

Speaker 1 2:43

You can talk about it and not spoil it.

Speaker 2:45

I know. It's just a good movie. So here the we can tell the the premise of it without giving it without giving it everything away. So the premise is there's this guy who's named Bear, and he has a huge crush on his friend Nikki. And he's too shy to tell her how he actually feels. So he goes into this like crystalslash energy magic shop, and he finds this little what looks like it's just like a stupid toy called a one wish willow. And it says you get one wish and one wish only, and he decides to wish for Nikki to love him more than anyone else in the entire world, and it spirals into disarray and insanity.

Speaker 1 3:34

She does exactly that.

Speaker 3:35

She she falls in love with him more than any loves him more than anyone in the world, and that is terrifying. So, question though, without spoiling it. Oh, do you like me? Do you have a crush on me?

Speaker 1 3:53

Gave him the opportunity to say I like you.

Speaker 3:56

Yeah, I have feelings for you.

Speaker 1 3:57

Do you like me?

Speaker 3:58

What it made me think of though is how you in the past have said that if you liked someone that you would never say a word to them. Are you like Bear?

Speaker 1 4:10

Um, after watching this, I will if I like somebody, I'm gonna tell them, but I don't have to tell them anymore. I have you.

Speaker 4:17

You have me. But yeah, it like he was a pussy.

Speaker 1 4:22

Yeah.

Speaker 4:23

He was driving me nuts. And you and I even like- Even I thought, oh my god, we leaned over to each other in the theater, and it like we were like, come on, dude. Like, just just say it, say it. Though I don't think she ever really liked him prior to the magic and the wish and the supernatural. I don't think she liked him. I won't say what's going on. But anyway, anyway, I don't think she liked him. I think she was just trying to maybe get it out in the open so there would not be this awkwardness. I don't really know what she was trying to do, but she did give him the opportunity, and it just made me think this guy has zero game. You know who else doesn't have game? Robert.

Speaker 2 5:01

Me.

Speaker 5:02

So yeah, I was just curious your take on his scaredy catness.

Speaker 1 5:08

I felt his pain, but he was too much. Even I said, Come on, dude, you gotta say something. You gotta. She gave him the opportunity.

Speaker 5:16

For sure.

Speaker 1 5:17

Yeah.

Speaker 5:18

Yeah. So that was mainly what I wanted to ask you. That's the main reason we brought it up because I was just curious on your take on it. But it was a great movie. I am gonna tell everyone I know to go see it. That's including you guys. So you guys need to go see Obsession. It was made on a $750,000 budget, and it's already made like $250 million at the box office. It's this huge success.

Speaker 1 5:44

The most famous it's worth it.

Speaker 5:46

Yeah, the most famous person in this movie is Andy Richter, who became America's sweetheart from Dancing with the Stars. He's the most famous person. It's like the whole cast is just these like up-and-coming actors who I think are now just gonna be stars. Like they can pretty much like write their own ticket, especially the girl who played Nikki. I think her name's um Indy something crappy should have looked it up before. But yeah, any of those people get other roles for sure. Yeah. Do you think I'm at all like crazy Nikki?

Speaker 1 6:15

Moving on.

Speaker 6:17

I'm not, I mean, I'm not like I love you, and I really, really enjoy spending time with you. That sounds that sounds bad actually. I I enjoy it's not you, it's me. I enjoy like our time together, our togetherness. But at the same time, I do.

Speaker 1 6:38

Are you breaking up with me on the air?

Speaker 6:40

It does sound like that. I what I'm trying to say is though I am obsessed with you, I am not obsessed with you.

Speaker 1 6:46

Like I enjoy, you know anything like Nikki, I know when to say, oh hell no. Time to go.

Speaker 6:53

I feel like you don't love me as much as I love you. I wish I could do that face that she did. I'm not gonna try it now.

Speaker 1 7:03

No. Also, when we did if you haven't seen it, watch it.

Speaker 7:07

Yeah.

Speaker 1 7:08

The faces and the movements this girl Nikki does.

Speaker 7:11

And they did say there's no C everything was done with either makeup to make her face look contorted, or it was done specifically by her. She said she practiced those moves. There's no CGI, it's just her take on this creepy ass character. She did great. But I did when we got home last night, because we went to the latest possible showing of this movie. So we ended up getting out of the theater pretty late. And we got home and I was like, we need to decompress with watching something funny because I don't want to go to bed thinking about this. But he went into our guest bathroom and I went into our room to change, like out of my, you know, date night clothes and get into jammies. And I thought about should I hide and scare him? But then I was like, first, he was taking too long. And second, I was like, what if he screams and it's like 12 30 at night? Like the neighbors are gonna think there's something wrong. Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 8:11

I mean maybe I would have punched you.

Speaker 8:15

No, if I reaction. If I was in the corner corner, though, if I turned off, oh wait, you said I'm taking now that you're thinking I was pooping.

Speaker 1 8:22

I wasn't pooping, I was cleaning the cat litter. That's why it took too long. Okay.

Speaker 8:27

I didn't think about that. Okay, you're right.

Speaker 1 8:30

That's why it took too long. I was cleaning the cat litter.

Speaker 8:34

He was. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to out your your potty times.

Speaker 1 8:39

Um it wasn't potty time.

Speaker 8:40

Oh, okay. He went to go pee and then he cleaned the kitty litter. Thank you for doing that, by the way. And um, but yeah, I decided I probably shouldn't scare him so late at night because what if the neighbor thinks like something's wrong? You know, we're not noisy people, and all of a sudden, super late at night, we make a scary noise. They might be like, what the hell's going on over here? Oh, yeah, you know. Um, so yeah. Anyway, everyone go see that movie. I'm not sponsored by them. I'm not getting paid to promote it. I'm just promoting because it was an awesome movie. I think it might be one of the best in years for sure. I think it might go to like the top of my list.

Speaker 1 9:16

Oh, it's my top five.

Speaker 9:18

Well, okay, hold on. When you say you have a top five, and I'm asking and I ask you what's your top five, you go, okay. Well, my top five is like I have like 25 on there.

Speaker 1 9:27

Oh no, there's like 60.

Speaker 9:28

Oh, that's ridiculous. You have to narrow it down to a top five.

Speaker 2 9:33

Yeah.

Speaker 9:33

Well, anyway, everyone go see it. It's a great movie. It's on the top of both of our lists. Mine means a little more because I actually have five movies on there. But I don't know which one I'm bumping for that one.

Speaker 1 9:45

Ooh.

Speaker 9:46

Yeah. We could think about it. It made the list. It's a great movie. I'm excited to see what else those actors do. I'm excited to see what the writer, director does.

Speaker 1 9:56

Oh, yeah, for sure. The director, the writer, what he has coming out soon. Hopefully.

Speaker 10:01

It'll be it should be good. If it's anything like this, it's gonna be

Possessive Boyfriend Turn-On Debate

Speaker 10:05

great. Let's move on to Gremlin Guidance because people who haven't seen it are probably like, okay, we'll go see it. All right. Um, the first one is from Jada. Also, just like last time, I did show him these questions beforehand.

Speaker 1 10:21

Briefly.

Speaker 10:22

Yeah, he I he I didn't send them to him like I did the time before. I just showed him my computer and was like, here, read these.

Speaker 1 10:28

And it was after we got back from the movie, so I just glanced at it.

Speaker 10:31

Well, you still no, it was this morning. It was today.

Speaker 1 10:34

Oh, damn.

Speaker 10:35

Yeah.

Speaker 1 10:35

Well, yeah.

Speaker 10:36

Yeah, your your timing's all off. It's because it's so late. It seems like it was yesterday. Um, okay, yeah. So he has seen the questions before, but we haven't discussed our answers with each other. We've just to thought about them like to ourselves. Okay. So the first one is from Jada. And Jada asks, Am I toxic for liking it when my boyfriend gets possessive? My boyfriend and I were out at a bar, and when he went to go get drinks, some guy came over and started hitting on me. I told him I was with my boyfriend, but he was drunk and not quite getting it, and was still there when my boyfriend came back. My boyfriend told him I was with him and to move on, and when he still tried to hang out, he got in between myself and the guy and told him to leave me alone. He finally left and I was super turned on. Does that make me toxic? Jada.

Speaker 1 11:31

Um, I don't think so. I mean, he defending you. He's you know, you're with him, not with this dude. He's just protecting you. You know, this dude could be a creeper. He's you already told him to move on, he's still there. He told them move on, he's still there. Who knows? And he, if he's drunk, then he could have done anything. So you're not toxic. It turned you on. He he has your back.

Speaker 11:58

I am gonna agree that doesn't make you toxic. I feel the same way. Unfortunately, though, you never get possessive over me, and I'd like to take issue with that at this very moment.

Speaker 1 12:09

Where have we gone where I come back and somebody's talking to you?

Speaker 12:12

Okay, not like that. I'm gonna give you an example. Remember when we were leaving the grocery store, and that guy leaned out of his car.

Speaker 1 12:20

Oh, whoa, no, whoa, whoa, wait. Okay, that was like six, seven years ago. Okay. And still, the second it happened, you straight turned around and looked at me and said, No, get in the car. That's not what happened. Yeah. And it even happened again, walking in the street when the guy was gonna back up.

Speaker 12:41

No.

Speaker 1 12:42

And almost hit us, and I started saying something. You're like, just keep walking.

Speaker 12:45

I don't know, that doesn't sound like me at all. At all. No, because I'd be like, Yeah, do it, do it, do it.

Speaker 1 12:50

No, you wouldn't.

Speaker 12:50

Okay, I wouldn't. But no, this is how I remember. You're this is revision revisionist history over here with you. I'm gonna tell you guys what actually happened. He leaned out and was cat calling me and was like, Do you have a boyfriend? And I turned around and went like this and pointed at you. And he did, he was like, sorry, like he was he was very nice. And you waved at him. You went, he said, sorry.

Speaker 1 13:12

Why don't you tell him to break his window?

Speaker 13:13

Yeah.

Speaker 1 13:15

Okay, next time I'll rip his rear view mirror out the side of the door.

Speaker 13:20

It wasn't his car. He was leaning out of his friend's ride. But what I'm saying is you've never gotten possessive or toxic or generally.

Speaker 1 13:28

That was the only time I could have.

Speaker 13:30

Well, actually, no, but whatever. Well, we won't go there. But you're just like, you're so I don't know why I'm complaining because this is a good characteristic of yours, but you're so even-tempered and cool-headed and just like chill, and it's like, hey, care a little bit more. I need you to be a little toxic sometimes.

Speaker 1 13:52

Okay.

Speaker 13:54

Well, hold on. Now I'm scared.

Speaker 1 13:55

Okay, we'll do.

Speaker 13:56

No, no, okay. I take it back because now I'm worried.

Speaker 1 13:59

I mean, I I I'll rip the door off the guy's car.

Speaker 14:03

No, you won't.

Speaker 1 14:04

I can.

Speaker 14:05

Well, you physically you could, but you won't. I don't know what I don't know why.

Speaker 1 14:10

The guy apologized and kept going.

Speaker 14:11

I know it was the nicest guy. It's not my guy. He was the nicest cat caller I've ever experienced.

Speaker 1 14:18

I mean, you know. You were in front of me, but still he saw me ten times bigger than you behind you. I'm not a small guy.

Speaker 14:26

I know.

Speaker 1 14:27

He was probably like, oh shit.

Speaker 14:29

All right. Well, I don't know what I want. I don't, but Jada, I don't think you're toxic. Maybe I am. Um, but no, that's good. Because if also if he like didn't do that and he was like kind of cowering to the guy who was hitting on her, that would have like she probably would have been like, What the hell, man? Like, I'm trying to get rid of this guy, and you're over here like he, you know. So yeah, he's got to say something. It's a good thing it didn't get physical.

Speaker 1 14:56

Toxic if you would do it on purpose from bring a guy over. Like knowing he's gonna defend you, and then you flirt with the guy or smile, and the guy comes over, and now you're like, hey, I told him to leave.

Speaker 15:08

Yeah, okay, yeah. Soxing the situation yourself on the code.

Speaker 1 15:12

Yeah, but the guy came up to you and you told them go.

Speaker 15:14

Yeah.

Speaker 1 15:15

Yeah.

Speaker 15:15

I I do I agree with that. Good, good catch right there. Okay, well, I guess we learned I'm toxic, but I don't think that was new information. All right, next question is from Aster.

Not Missing Your Spouse Away

Speaker 15:28

And Aster says, I'm not the original writer, but I would love to know your boyfriend's opinion on the gremlin guidance question from a few weeks ago about the wife who finally had a loan time. Does he agree with your guidance or did he think there was another problem? Aster. And I also wrote down that original submission. So I'll read that right now and then remind you what my original um guidance was. So the original submission said, So my husband went out of town last weekend and I didn't miss him. We have never really had time apart. We work the same hours, we spend weekends together, we go on vacations together, and I've never really been home without him. But he went on a bachelor trip, and while he was gone, I didn't miss him. I was happy to have my freedom to do whatever I wanted. Is this normal or do you think this is spelling out a possible deeper issue? Anonymous. So my original advice was I didn't think I actually I hemmed and hawed on air about it. I said I didn't think there was a deeper issue unless there were other, like, you know, I'm only working with the information I'm given at that moment. So I told her if she has more information she'd like to give me, she can write in. She hasn't, but maybe she'll hear this and she'll write in because I'm asking twice. But I said I think we all do like our alone time and deserve our alone time. And this is the first time she's really had it, so I didn't think it was spelling out a deeper issue unless there are other extenuating circumstances that I don't know about.

Speaker 1 17:02

The problem is she said she didn't miss him. I know, but that doesn't mean anything bad. It could just be she really enjoyed her alone time. Maybe she needs more of it. Maybe he needs maybe he enjoyed his alone time and didn't miss her either.

Speaker 17:15

Right.

Speaker 1 17:15

You know, I'm with the boys, cool.

Speaker 17:17

Yeah.

Speaker 1 17:18

But I mean, only she knows if there's dip deeper issues.

Speaker 17:21

Yeah, like just based off of what the information that she gave me, I said I didn't think there was a deeper issue other than just the fact that you know she was able to do whatever she wanted that weekend that she was able, you know, I actually Yeah, and if it's the only the first time she's been had her alone time in however long they've been together.

Speaker 1 17:40

I mean, who know I don't we don't know what she did. Right now, but um maybe she should send them again.

Speaker 17:46

Send them away.

Speaker 1 17:47

Yeah. It's like go with the boys.

Speaker 17:49

Yeah, yeah, I don't think it was that, and actually that specific weekend when I filmed that Gremlin Guidance was the weekend that you weren't here, so I had the whole house to myself the entire weekend.

Speaker 1 18:00

Oh, so you were like, Oh yeah, she's right. I don't miss him either.

Speaker 18:03

Well, I did say I was like, you know, because he's not here. Normally I try to get like my filming done, you know, while you're not here. That way when you're here, we can actually spend time together because I'm obsessed with you. But because you weren't here, I was kind of able to go at my own pace. I cleaned the house, I did this, I did that, I, you know, cooked, and then I filmed late at night, which Yeah, you've been gone for like a day or overnight or whatever, but I missed you so much.

Speaker 1 18:33

I'm glad when you come back.

Speaker 18:35

I know you're never really here at the house, at least, without me too much, because I'm a hermit and agoraphobic, apparently. But yeah, like I feel like everyone likes their alone time. You can just like do whatever the hell you want. It's a fun part of your life.

Speaker 1 18:53

But did they send a text to each other? I don't know. How's your time with your buddies?

Speaker 18:58

Right.

Speaker 1 18:59

Hey, what are you doing at home? Are you do you miss me?

Speaker 19:01

Yeah, because like, yeah, like when we're not together, like you know, when you were gone that weekend or the times I've you know not been here, we do still text each other. It's not like we cut off communication for that.

Speaker 1 19:12

I mean, I text you when I get to work, and soon after I'm like, I miss you already.

Speaker 19:15

Right, yeah. That makes us sound kind of sappy, huh? Um, so yeah, I think we kind of had the same thought, but original anonymous writer, if you want to send in some more details, then maybe we can give you a more thorough answer, or maybe it's gonna be the same answer either way.

Speaker 1 19:34

What if she's single by now?

Speaker 19:36

I don't I I'm nosy. I want to know. Write in, tell me, please.

Speaker 1 19:41

Did he even come back from the boys' weekend?

Speaker 19:43

No, he didn't, because that's why she was like, Oh, he's back. But you know, that's kind of sad too. Like, imagine if when you came home, I was like, Oh, you're back. Great, good to see you. Like that what a that's a sad homecoming. Yeah, I don't know. Original writer, if you want to write in and let give us more details, please do. I know I feel like I say that every episode to like at least one like person who writes in, like, write in again. Let me know what happens. I actually really do mean it. I do want the follow-ups because I'm nosy.

Speaker 1 20:17

Speaking of follow-ups, a uh Bachelorette party follow-ups.

Speaker 20:22

Oh, Amanda. Yeah, I know. That was like, I think, I think that was like my best submission. I don't want to like undermine the rest of the submissions, but that one, like, that really like go back to the market that tickled my fancy.

Speaker 1 20:36

You gotta run into that lady sometime.

Speaker 20:38

For real, just ask her straight out at the market. I you know what? I think that sounds like something I would do. I'd be like, I'm gonna post up here. She's gotta come back. She'll come back at some point. She's gonna need more groceries. And who knows? Like, how do you have a conversation like that? For those who are maybe curious about what we're talking about or can't remember, it was the submission a few weeks ago where the woman overheard a random lady at the grocery store at a wet Wegmans in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Speaker 1 21:05

Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Speaker 21:06

Who she was having a conversation on speakerphone, and the caller was talking about this crazy bachelorette weekend she had, and how the bride hooked up with a random guy and a stripper at a strip club, and it was just it was the most insane and glorious piece of gossip. And a sister-in-law was part of the group. Yeah, the sister, her future sister-in-law was at the bachelorette party, felt weird vibes, thought maybe a line was crossed, and the bride was now worried that the she was gonna tell like her her husband or her brother in law, which is the bride's fiance. That was a weird family tree I just did. But yeah, anyway, she was worried it was gonna blow up in her face. And God, that was just that's a sh that's a shit that really gets me going.

Speaker 1 21:54

We need more on that one.

Speaker 21:55

Yeah. I rode that high for a while too.

Speaker 1 21:57

That like as soon as I I mean

Speaker 22:00

Like I've I've told them and I you know this when I, you know, f do my episodes, I make my outlines, I know what I'm gonna talk about. I never tell you beforehand. Like I'm not like oh hey, you know, this is what I'm gonna talk about. You know, you find out with everybody else when you listen to the episodes. But that was one time where I was like, I have to tell you this piece of gossip I got because I just I I couldn't. It like it made my cheeks flushed with like giddiness and joy. It makes me sound like a bad person, but I don't really care. I thought that was the best piece of gossip and news I have ever received in my entire life. Okay, let's move on to our next Gremlin

When Do You Meet Family?

Speaker 22:36

guidance. This one comes to us from Aubrey. And Aubrey asks, How long do you think is the appropriate amount of time before you meet your significant other's family? I began dating my boyfriend in October and things have been going great, but he still hasn't introduced me to his family. I didn't meet them over the holidays because things were still pretty new and we both spent them with our own families. But he did meet my mom, my dad, and my little sister when they took me out for my birthday back in February. And this past weekend, his parents had a party to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. I had been hinting at an invitation, but he said it was going to be a small gathering of just close personal relatives. But then I saw his Instagram story from the night of the party, and there were a ton of people there, including a couple of his friends. So now I'm wondering what's up. Am I expecting to meet his parents too soon? Is he hiding me? Is he maybe not as serious about me as I thought? I'm so confused. Aubrey. So I want to get your take on this as like a man and boyfriend, and then I'll give my take on it because I have I have thoughts.

Speaker 1 23:47

So from October to February, that's four months, five, four and a half, whatever.

Speaker 23:51

October, November, December, January. Yeah, where he met her parents.

Speaker 1 23:55

Right. At her birthday.

Speaker 23:57

Yeah.

Speaker 1 23:58

I mean, I get okay, the holidays maybe they were just dating for a month. Yeah, I mean, I think that makes sense. Yeah. You know, you was like, okay, we'll meet him. Kind of figuring it out. Yeah, not at a big holiday gathering, you know. Um then the party.

Speaker 24:13

Yeah, his parents 25.

Speaker 1 24:14

If you're gonna say it's not a big deal, and then bro, you posted it. Come on, man.

Speaker 24:20

Yeah. Like on his story.

Speaker 1 24:22

On your story. It's not like somebody else did it.

Speaker 24:24

It's not like she was stalking his family and saw it. Right. You know?

Speaker 1 24:28

He put it on his story.

Speaker 24:29

And invited a few of his friends.

Speaker 1 24:32

His friends.

Speaker 24:32

I mean, maybe they're childhood friends.

Speaker 1 24:34

Right, that know the family, but why like oh it's a small gathering. She saw it was huge.

Speaker 24:40

Right.

Speaker 1 24:40

Bro, don't post. Like if you don't want to take her, don't you know, you can't make it.

Speaker 24:46

Or maybe just okay, I'll I'll let you keep going, actually.

Speaker 1 24:49

Yeah, I mean, what is it now? Is it like real time our time? It seems like October, June.

Speaker 24:55

Yeah, it seems like, and if I remember correctly, I got the email like maybe two weeks ago, if I remember the date of it. I want to say like two weeks ago. So let's say the party was like three weeks ago.

Speaker 1 25:05

Yeah, he has a girlfriend. Or he's married. Is that what you thought? Yeah.

Speaker 25:09

But she's his friend on Instagram.

Speaker 1 25:11

Maybe the wife or girlfriend doesn't is not a social media person.

Speaker 25:15

Ooh. So okay, I was I didn't have that thought, like, he has a girlfriend, he has he has a wife, he has this. But I was thinking, like, is he hiding her because there is someone else? Or like or maybe there's someone not like he has multiple people of like the same like.

Speaker 1 25:32

Maybe he doesn't think it's serious enough.

Speaker 25:35

Right, like maybe yeah, that that too.

Speaker 1 25:37

Or maybe he's just like, okay, I got her, her, her, her.

Speaker 25:40

Right.

Speaker 1 25:41

Nobody's meeting my family because nobody's a serious one.

Speaker 25:43

Right. So I mean, and just she does ask that is he hiding me? Is he maybe not as serious about us as I thought?

Speaker 1 25:50

It could be.

Speaker 25:51

Okay, so let me ask you this. What do you think is like an appropriate amount of time to wait before you introduce someone to your like family? Because I was there's no, I mean it's not like a time clock.

Speaker 1 26:03

Right.

Speaker 26:03

I mean when you feel it, you feel it.

Speaker 1 26:05

Yeah, exactly. I mean, it could be a few days, it can be a couple weeks. I mean, if holidays are coming in a couple months, a couple months, like, hey, you know, meet everybody at Thanksgiving, like you.

Speaker 26:17

Yeah, I was gonna say, like, okay, so our anniversary is June. Oh, actually, hey, that's funny.

Speaker 2 26:22

Late June.

Speaker 26:24

I was gonna say the reason, not the reason you're on, but I was having you on, and I had said this to you. I was like, oh, it's our anniversary's coming up. I should have you on, and you were like, Oh, okay. Anyway, but yeah, our anniversary is coming up. Happy early anniversary to us. But so yeah, our anniversary is June, and we met our and I went to your family's house on Thanksgiving, and that's the first time I met everybody. Right.

Speaker 1 26:48

So that was so what you met my friends like a few times before, yeah, or a handful of times.

Speaker 26:53

Yeah, yeah. I so yeah.

Speaker 1 26:54

But the family was on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 26:56

Yeah, like your friends, I met Fourth of July, actually. We just like to we just like to have the holidays as like time markers.

Speaker 1 27:04

Right. Well, Fourth of July is big, you know. Honey Beach is a big American city that everybody parties in for Fourth of July, and that's what we did every year. And you said no at first, and then eventually called me and said, I'm going with you.

Speaker 27:17

Yeah, yeah, we won't get into the workings of my elusiveness in the beginning of our relationship. But anyway, yeah. So yeah, so what uh June, July, August, September, October, November. So five months.

Speaker 1 27:30

August, September, October. Yeah.

Speaker 27:32

Yeah. So five months.

Speaker 1 27:33

And it's not like we were And if there was a party or like a birthday or something before that, then you would have met him before that.

Speaker 27:41

Right. Yeah, it was just kind of like I worked nights back then.

Speaker 1 27:44

So, you know, it's not like I woke up early and said, Hey, let's go to a daytime thing and meet my family.

Speaker 27:51

But okay, so yeah, like if your parents had a huge wedding anniversary party before that, you would have invited me.

Speaker 1 27:59

Of course. So it I Yeah, I would have put the everybody else on the side. Like, hey, hold on, it's her turn. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 28:07

I'm an idiot. Um, but yeah, I do I think this is spelling out an issue. Because either, yeah, he's either not as serious about you as maybe you are about him. He's got someone else that his family does know. Although I don't think that's true because you are friends with him on social media. You can't see his stuff. Yeah, he's probably not sure if you're the or and then I was also thinking too, like maybe, like, you know, I'm I know personally, like, I have a lot of um complicated family dynamics. So maybe you don't want to invite someone into a complicated situation, but at the same time, his friends were there. I don't know. There's just a lot of like circumstances, but either way, I don't think this is like spelling out like great news.

Speaker 2 28:54

Right.

Speaker 28:55

I think that there's a there's a reason. And if you're wanting to have that conversation with him just to see where you're at, then I don't think that would be the worst idea. I think if that way you at least know, are you wasting your time? You don't want to I hate having to like say, like, oh, what are we? What what is this? You know, you it's just like kind of like ugh. But I do think maybe that conversation does need to be had. Because yeah, I would just be like, Why didn't you invite me? Like, I'm just curious.

Speaker 1 29:28

You can bring it up. I wouldn't Thanksgiving, I wouldn't think Christmas, New Year's, all went by, you know, Easter, probably.

Speaker 29:35

Maybe they're Jewish. Oh, well then passed.

Speaker 1 29:37

Then they would have had other holidays more than just these.

Speaker 29:40

But yeah, I would just I would ask and just say, like, hey, I wouldn't like come at him and like uh in like in interrogating him, like I wouldn't do anything like that. I would just like have it be a casual chill conversation and just be like, hey, like I'm just curious, like, why didn't you invite me to your parents' anniversary? Like, I saw you said it wasn't that big of a deal, but I did see on Instagram, like it seemed like it was a great party, it was a lively party. I saw, you know, so-and-so were there, you know. I'm like, I'm just curious. Like, I'm not like mad or anything. I just like want kind of want to know where we stand.

Speaker 1 30:16

Yeah, it's been eight months and I haven't met anybody.

Speaker 30:20

Right. And then maybe, you know, maybe he'll say, okay, well, this is the reason. Maybe there is a complicated family dynamic, and maybe he's embarrassed about something. Who knows? You know, I think oh everyone has some sort of crazy in their family, but you know, maybe his is just a little more wacky than the rest.

Speaker 1 30:40

Maybe he's the outcast kid in the family and he doesn't want her to see that.

Speaker 30:45

Maybe. Yeah, either way, I just think it would be a good idea to I would confront him for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 1 30:50

100%.

Speaker 30:52

I agree.

Speaker 1 30:52

Especially if you like the guy.

Speaker 30:54

Yeah, and you also don't want to, it's already been eight months. You don't want to waste any more time. You know, you don't like if he's just kind of like hemming and hain about you, if you want if you're willing to put up with that, great, good on you, but at least now you know. You know, you don't want to like plan a life in a future with someone who's real casual about you. All right, let's move on. Let's see, the next one is from Anonymous.

Dream Job Offer Versus Relationship

Speaker 31:17

And Anonymous says, I was recently offered my absolute dream job, but in a different state. I told my boyfriend, and he is unwilling to move. It's not like he doesn't have a job that he could get in a new city, and I was offered a huge raise, more than double what I'm currently making. He said he doesn't want to leave his family and friends behind, and neither do I, but this is just such a huge opportunity, not only for me, but for us. We have talked about marriage and kids and have pretty much planned our lives together. We have even talked about possibly getting engaged soon, so the thought of leaving without him breaks my heart. But at the same time, I don't understand why he isn't willing to make a change with me if it betters our future. Would you take the job? Anonymous.

Speaker 1 32:08

Well, for her, it's you know, she probably has a time limit or a you know let us know by this day. Yeah, let us know by this day to go, and it's a great opportunity. You know, for him, it's like, oh damn, I gotta get up and go situation. So, you know, friends, family, it's hard. You know, he might go with you eventually, but you know, he needs more time than the time you have to take the job. You know, just ask him, talk about it. Um, if you guys already talked about marriage and kids and stuff, I'm sure he's gonna give in, you know. It's just another state. It's not like he can't fly back and see his family.

Speaker 32:46

Right. So you didn't answer her question though. Would you take the job?

Speaker 1 32:49

Uh, after a sit-down talk, um, yeah, I would.

Speaker 32:53

What if he gives her the ultimatum? Like, I am not going. So if you go, that's that. I'm just throwing out fake scenarios here. And she didn't say that in here. It's just I'm just throwing it out there for funsies.

Speaker 1 33:06

How deep is the relationship?

Speaker 33:08

Yeah, I don't know. She doesn't say how long they've been together.

Speaker 1 33:11

How long has it been? They're talking about marriage and kids.

Speaker 33:13

So it's it's gotta be yeah, like let's say at minimum a year. Like that's gotta be the minimum. Yeah, but I I say longer if they're if she thinks they're gonna get engaged.

Speaker 1 33:23

It's not a one sit-down talk. It's gonna be over a few days and talking about it and scenarios and you know leaving your family's huge. Friends, whatever, you know, they're gonna be your friends.

Speaker 33:36

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean your family's amazing. I mean your family's always gonna be there too.

Speaker 1 33:40

Get up and go, you know. Your parents are getting older, you know, whatever. Yeah, that's a tough one. But it's a great opportunity. It's your your career too.

Speaker 33:48

And it's she says it's her dream job with the dream job.

Speaker 1 33:51

Double salary, yeah.

Speaker 33:53

And he has a job that can move. It's not like I in my head I was thinking, like, if she didn't put that, I was gonna be like, well, maybe he's in school and he can't transfer schools, but she didn't say that. If he can get a job in his whatever he's doing, I would take it. And just hope he falls in line and doesn't resent you for it. That's the other thing, too. What if he goes and he's miserable and pissed, you know?

Speaker 1 34:17

So you're gonna stay here miserable because he didn't want to go, now you're stuck and you're resentful. Yeah.

Speaker 34:24

Yeah.

Speaker 1 34:24

You gotta take it.

Speaker 34:26

I think I would too.

Speaker 1 34:28

I yeah, I think this I'm not a you know, change is good, you know, but yeah, you and I don't think you know. A change like that could be great.

Speaker 34:39

Right. Especially like it seems like it's like the opportunity that she's been working towards for who knows how long. I she didn't say what her job is, what her career is. I'm not entirely sure all the circumstances, but I mean, it seems like this is like the opportunity that she's been like working towards force. Take the job. I I would take the job too. And if I thought you were gonna be resentful for me making you move, quote unquote making you, like forcing you.

Speaker 1 35:08

Well, nobody's making anybody do it.

Speaker 35:10

No, I'm just but I what I was gonna say, if I was like, okay, I'm going, if you're not gonna go, then that's that. And you went. I I think my worry would be I'm going and you're not gonna be happy with it, so we're gonna break up anyway, kind of a thing. Right, you know, so then it's like all this for nothing. You know, I made two movies.

Speaker 1 35:32

I'm like, if you don't go, you don't love me.

Speaker 35:35

It needs it do it needs to be an extremely mutual.

Speaker 1 35:38

Yeah, because then now you're you know, you need to stay. Now you're resentful.

Speaker 35:41

Yeah, so I we I think we were both saying we would take the job, and if he's unwilling to go, then I mean maybe it changes mind.

Speaker 1 35:52

Maybe it's not a breakup situation, but it's uh you take the job, we'll talk it out, and we'll see how this goes. Yeah, you know, come home on the weekend, a certain weekend. He goes every other weekend, you come home.

Speaker 36:04

I wonder how far it is, too. She didn't say.

Speaker 1 36:06

I mean, not every weekend, do something, like yeah.

Speaker 36:09

But yeah, like are you willing, but also like do you really want to build your life on being in a long distance relationship for the time being that you work it out, right?

Speaker 1 36:18

And eventually he makes his way to go. Or doesn't, and that's doesn't, and then she's gotta be like, he's not gonna do it. So I'm moving on.

Speaker 36:26

Right. Yeah, I think you should take the job and see how he fits into your life after that. If he's willing to go, great, and he's willing and not gonna be resentful, great.

Speaker 1 36:36

If he's not willing to go, then I think you s need to take care of yourself, and this is But also is it are you going from New York City to cattle country, Wisconsin, or cattle country, Wisconsin to New York City?

Speaker 36:50

Yeah, she didn't say where she is or where she's going, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 36:53

I don't know why I picked Wisconsin. I don't know why I picked it up.

Speaker 36:55

But I mean it's two different because we've been watching that 70s show and they're in Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 36:59

Oh, but Ross had to go to Oklahoma. Chandler. Chandler. Chandler.

Speaker 37:03

God get it right, man. Good god. All right, yeah. So I say take the job. You know, I think you're if you don't take it, you're gonna end up resenting him and you're gonna break up and not have the job. Exactly. So I say take it and hope the rest works out. Let us know what happens. Please write back in. If I ask you to write back in and give me updates, I really do mean it. Write back in.

Speaker 1 37:28

Yeah, let us know that you took the job.

Speaker 37:30

Yeah, or you didn't and why you should take it. Where you were going, where you're from, where you're going, all the all the details. Okay, ooh.

Speaker 1 37:41

And good luck with it.

Speaker 37:42

And good luck, good luck, good luck. The next one is the most one that I got that I was like, I read it and I was like, hmm.

Disgusting Boys Chat And Boundaries

Speaker 37:53

Okay, this is from Anonymous as well. Anonymous says, please keep me anonymous. Done. I discovered my husband's group chat with all his male friends, and I am utterly disgusted. I was looking in my husband's photo album for a specific photo he took of our newborn daughter when I came across a picture of a naked girl sleeping in a bed.

Speaker 2 38:17

Dude.

Speaker 38:18

I freaked out and asked if he was cheating on me. And to explain this away, he showed me his boys' chat. In the chat, one particular friend is always boasting about his conquest of the week. And the picture I saw was from that friend showing who he had in his bed that night. I was reading through the text and they were disgusting and degrading to women. Now I can say that my husband wasn't participating in the conversation too much, but I told him I was extremely uncomfortable with what was being discussed and the fact he is receiving naked photos of other women. I asked him to leave the chat. After some arguing, he did agree to do it. Was I being unreasonable? And are boys' chats normally like this? Anonymous.

Speaker 1 39:06

Yeah, they're boys' chats are not normally like this. You know, this dude, who is this guy? Bradley Cooper from Wedding Crashers? Well, at least you found out that he's not participating in this, you know? And yeah, it's just weird. We, you know, guys don't, at least my group of friends or cousins or brothers, we don't send each other pictures of women you sleep with, you know.

Speaker 39:33

Yeah, okay. So first do I think you're being unreasonable? Uh no. I would have whipped you in the face with the phone.

Speaker 1 39:39

Well, I wouldn't have that.

Speaker 39:40

You wouldn't, but if you did, you'd get a phone to the face. Second, what also bothered me is this guy sent a picture of his conquest of the week of a naked girl sleeping in bed. She doesn't know that photo was taken and that it was sent around to who however many people are in this group chat. That's disgusting. Like I would be pissed to find out to wake up and possibly see this guy's phone and see that he sent out a picture of me naked to whoever, however many people, even just to one person, but however many many people are actually in this chat. Like, ew, you're disgusting. That was another.

Speaker 1 40:18

I mean, you're married, you have a daughter.

Speaker 40:21

A newborn daughter.

Speaker 1 40:22

Newborn daughter. Yeah, you need to leave the chat, dude.

Speaker 40:25

Yeah. So she's uh but after some arguing, he agreed to do it. Again, with the arguing. Are you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 1 40:32

I mean, the what's the argument? They're my friends. It's just uh, I'm not involved.

Speaker 40:36

Well, it's just boys being boys. No, it's not boys being boys, is these men are being disgusting pigs.

Speaker 1 40:42

Dude, you're a man with the family. Leave the chat.

Speaker 40:45

Leave the chat. Also, your friend who is sending out that picture, I don't want him in my home and or around my newborn daughter. Kick rocks. Like, absolutely fucking not. Disgusting. That one pissed me off. I was super mad.

Speaker 1 40:58

Yeah.

Speaker 40:59

Like, no.

Speaker 1 41:00

I mean, look at my family. We have a men's thread. Yeah. Cousins, brothers, you know. And we have a co-ed girl cousins, girl, everybody. But even just the guys' page isn't that. Yeah, you're you guys. The guys page is mostly we send each other YouTube of songs we like, like old school Mexican songs. Like, oh man, I haven't heard this one in a long time. Send it to the group.

Speaker 41:23

Or you guys are talking shit about sports or whatever.

Speaker 1 41:26

Yeah, right. Talking shit about Rams and sorry as Rams and the Raiders.

Speaker 41:31

You're so salty. You're so sad. But yeah, I don't think boys' chats are normally like this. Having a group chat with your guys is cool. Just like girls have their group chats and we talk about whatever we're talking about. That's one thing. But like this, that's like a level of disrespect. You want to know what this reminded me of? Fucking Jax Taylor and Vanderpump rules and like their like how they had like their boys' chat and shit like that. And there was a story. It always comes back to Vanderpump. There was a story about Stasi and one of the other wives or something, I forget who. For sure Stassi. She saw the group chat from Bo's phone, her husband, and she's like, This is disgusting. Like you're leaving the chat. And she didn't give him, she didn't give him the option. She said, Leave it right now. Like, I want to watch you uh leave the chat. And he did, and then that was that. And then I mean they're not friends any like with anyone anymore, anyway. But yeah, it was like like vile, disgusting.

Speaker 1 42:29

Yeah, Bo's too cool to be friends with those guys anyway.

Speaker 42:32

For sure. Um, so yeah, I don't think this is normal. I don't think you were being unreasonable. I think the fact that you showed restraint was extremely calm because that I think she took it better than I would have.

Speaker 1 42:46

Well, he also wasn't, you know, it's not like he was saying, like, oh, nice picture. Oh, good job, bro.

Speaker 42:53

Another one. Why was it saved in his phone? Why was that picture saved in his phone?

Speaker 1 42:58

But it wasn't saved in his phone, it was probably just part in the chat.

Speaker 43:01

It was in his photo album. She was looking for a picture of their daughter.

Speaker 1 43:05

Oh, oh, bro.

Speaker 43:07

Well, we skipped over that completely, dude. No one would see you for a while, that's for damn sure. That yeah. We we totally glossed over that. And like I'm looking at it right now before we move on. We glossed over the fact it was saved in his photo album. Anonymous, I think. You are very, a very reasonable woman because the hell I would have raised.

Speaker 1 43:28

Did you find more photos in his album?

Speaker 43:32

If you had that one saved, if there's that one, girl, I say go. I look, I'm not for like rummaging through your partner's things. Like, I don't like we have the passcode to each other's.

Speaker 1 43:41

But was it a like an Instagram chat?

Speaker 43:43

No, she said it was in the photo album.

Speaker 1 43:45

So, like his like a text chat, and he saved that picture?

Speaker 43:48

You yeah. Like I save pictures like I that I get sent, you know, but you like you have to intentionally save the photo. You have to click the little box with the arrow and click it, and then you can say copy image, save image. Send image and you gotta save the image. Save. He doesn't know because he doesn't have an iPhone, so he's I'm teaching him new things right now. But yeah, so yeah, he saved the photo.

Speaker 1 44:09

Yeah. Huh. You are a reasonable person.

Speaker 44:12

Yeah. Um, good luck to you, Anonymous. Let us know what happens. Oh, what I was saying before, I'm not for going through your per your partner's things. I don't like we have the passcodes to each other's phones, but I don't feel the need to look through your text messages or your pictures or your this or your that. And if you go through mine, you're not finding anything anyway. But yeah, what I was saying is you're I don't think people should do that, but I I mean at this point I would because you're look what you already found. What if there's other things in there? Also, if it's an iPhone, which I'm assuming it is, you can have hidden apps in your phone too. So you need to go into settings, go into hidden apps, and then click there, see what apps are hidden, and then those are usually locked with a passcode. You need to figure out the passcode to those and see why they're hidden because there's a reason for that.

Speaker 1 44:59

IPhones are complicated.

Speaker 45:00

I'm eventually gonna get you to get an iPhone. It's gonna happen. If I have to buy it for you myself and switch your number to it, it's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 45:10

Bring the flip phone back. Boomers.

Speaker 45:12

All right. The next Gremlin guidance is also anonymous, and this is our last one.

The Perfect Man Who Can’t Kiss

Speaker 45:18

We are gonna end with one that's a little more lighthearted. I didn't want to end on me being mad. The next one says, I went on a date with this absolutely perfect man. He checks all of my boxes. Handsome, sweet, family oriented, great job. Literally the perfect package. There's just one problem. He is the worst kisser. She put worst in all capital letters, by the way. By the way, I don't know what to do. It's like kissing a wet, slobbery dog. When I met him, I wondered how such a wonderful man hasn't been taken off the market yet. And now I kind of get why. Emily, what would you do if you were in my shoes? And what would your boyfriend think if he was given this very unfortunate information? Anonymous.

Speaker 1 46:13

Like if somebody told me I was a wet, sloppy dog.

Speaker 46:18

Actually, I'm anonymous. I pulled you on here for a reason. No, I'm kidding. But yeah, well, like, what would you do? What would you say?

Speaker 1 46:27

Yeah, like what if she likes him this much? Is she willing to tell him, like, straight up, look, you're slow down. Like, grab his face and be like, slow it down. You know, I can't be a 12-year-old boy slobbering in the mirror.

Speaker 46:43

Is it like it's his first kid? It can't be. If he if he's this handsome and this great, I feel like he's been broken up with because of this. How like what it yeah.

Speaker 1 46:57

I I mean, you have to tell him. Okay.

Speaker 47:00

So what I think I would do before telling him, telling him would be my my last option. Because I wouldn't want to give him a complex.

Speaker 1 47:10

Like grab his face and just bring him in slow.

Speaker 47:12

Teach him what to do. Like without saying it, just trying to like have him mimic me. Like I would, I would try to teach.

Speaker 1 47:22

Slow kiss him. I guess. But then 10 seconds later, he's like, I don't know.

Speaker 47:29

I know. Like, what do you I don't know? I would, I think I would try to fix the the situation before having to tell him because I wouldn't want to say it to him.

Speaker 1 47:41

Anonymous, you're gonna have to go in slow and just try to keep it slow. And if once he starts slobbering, just kind of back off and be like, no, no, no, slow down.

Speaker 47:52

Yeah.

Speaker 1 47:53

And then just be like, like this. You know? I mean, well, how what else are you gonna say?

Speaker 47:57

I don't know.

Speaker 1 47:58

I mean, eventually you're gonna have to say, look, look, man. Like you're not a Saint Bernard.

Speaker 48:06

I yeah, you're gonna have to be gentle until you you just can't take it anymore, I guess. And hopefully he'll get the picture. I mean, look, like you can't be taught how to be a better kisser. It like it unless is his tongue too big for his mouth?

Speaker 1 48:22

Show him videos of Saint Bernard's or no who Rottweiler's drool like crazy.

Speaker 48:29

Yeah, just like big fluffy dogs. Um, yeah, I I really wouldn't want to say this to him. And but uh at some point you're gonna you're gonna get pushed to an edge. I can't fucking take it anymore. Like, what are you doing, dude? Like what happened what's going on?

Speaker 1 48:46

So he's not the perfect package.

Speaker 48:48

He's she said he's literally the perfect package. There's just one problem.

Speaker 1 48:52

So he's not the perfect package.

Speaker 48:54

He well, if she can teach him to chase. If she can teach him to kiss, he could be the perfect package. He's hate she said, handsome, sweet, family oriented, great job. Dot dot dot. But just the worst kisser. All capital letters. That's unfortunate. Oh man. And also, okay, I it seems like you guys have just dated. What I would start being concerned with and thinking about, and I think I would obsess over this. If he's this bad of a kisser, what else is he bad at? Like, does that mean he's gonna be terrible in bed? I that's all I would be able to think about. I'd be like, I like is this translating into just you don't know how to be physical at all? What's happening?

Speaker 1 49:36

Maybe it's his first we don't know how to know how yeah, we don't know the age.

Speaker 49:42

Yeah, but he has a great job, so it's not like he's 19.

Speaker 1 49:45

So maybe he dated the same girl from 12 years old, 14 years old, 15 years old.

Speaker 49:51

We gotta stop giving these crazy like backstories that we don't know. But yeah, but even so, even so, like I that means that girl just like let's say okay, he she was with he was with the same girl from like 12 years old to 22. So for 10 years, this poor girl endured. She's like one of our strongest soldiers then.

Speaker 2 50:12

Right.

Speaker 50:13

This fake girl we just made up. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 50:18

But I yeah, you need to tell him to slow down and uh just try to take it slow, and once he starts getting sloppy, slow him down.

Speaker 50:27

I feel so sad for you. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 50:29

This is like this is eventually he's gonna catch Han, like oh, okay. Or if he asks, like, how come you keep stopping us? Just tell him, Look, man.

Speaker 50:38

I can't take it.

Speaker 1 50:39

Yeah.

Speaker 50:41

Yeah. And also, I I want to know how this translates into the bedroom. Because then also, like, you're gonna have to teach him that too. Like, come on, like, this isn't a charity over here. Like, you gotta have some skills, right?

Speaker 1 50:56

Yeah, I mean, unless his great job is like a great job, like I'm taking care of for life.

Speaker 51:02

Yeah, and even then, and in that case, maybe I'll say just suck it up. Like, if this guy's gonna like make you for life. Yeah, I don't um, I'm sorry, anonymous. This is this is sad.

Speaker 1 51:14

Yeah, try to slow him down, if not just tell him, look, like it can't happen like this.

Speaker 51:19

I can't, I can't I can't do this.

Speaker 1 51:22

I wonder, like, she said, Oh, okay, what cracked me up like every time we kiss, people are gonna think I'm slobbering on myself.

Speaker 51:28

Like, what cracked me up is she said when I met him, I wondered how such a wonderful man hasn't been taken off the market yet. And now I kind of get why. So he's obvious I wonder how long is he like just perpetually single? Is he not wondering, like, hey, why are my why can't I get like a a long-term relationship? Like he just keeps going from girl to girl, like, and they're just like breaking up with him, like, and he's like, I wonder why. I'm surprised no one said it to him. I mean, but again, we don't know how old he is. We need more information. But yeah. Um, have you ever had a really terrible kiss and you were just like not doing that again?

Speaker 1 52:05

No, not that I remember. But I mean, I've never really kissed anybody before you.

Speaker 52:10

You saw me start giving you a nasty look, so that's why you start swinging. Oh, that was a nasty look. Um yeah. I so I yeah, just try to teach him, and and if he if he really just can't get it through his head, then I just I guess it it's you gotta decide how much you're willing to accept. And yeah, I'm at a loss for words. I think I think that's it. Um any other advice for anonymous?

Speaker 1 52:42

Nope. Slow him down, slow him down, just come in slow. Once he starts going, pull back a little.

Speaker 52:49

I mean what else can you do?

Speaker 1 52:51

Yeah, what else can you do?

Speaker 52:52

Yeah. I thought we were gonna end on a happy note, but now I just feel sad for anonymous. So apparently we're ending this episode with won't won't. All right, well, that is it for our episode.
