Questions for OP of the 1st story ❤
hey morgan!! is there any way you could ask OP if she has any other siblings? idk if it was mentioned or not in this post, if it was I guess I just didn’t catch it lol
Not really a question, I guess I just hope that she and her family can heal from this event. Are they all able to get individual help or perhaps even family therapy?
I’d be curious to know if the Mum has found out she was caught in a massive lie and how she reacted if she does know! I hope OP is doing well and getting whatever she needs to heal from this
@@beccaf262 right, mom sounds like a huge narcissist, and would probably fly off the handle if she heard about how she was exposed. So proud of OP for speaking her truth and standing up for her brothers
Can you ask OP if she and OP's dad/stepdad are asking/encouraging/looking into options of therapy for the boys? Or if they are already in therapy? Also, can OP's family order a restraining order so toxic mother cant be around the kids when she decides she want to use them again?
as someone raised by a narcissist mom, I instantly knew when we heard the mom's story the first time she was too
ugh I'm so sorry you recognized it because of that :(
I definitely didn't see all this coming but I knew there was something off/exaggerated and wanted to hear the other side. I'm so glad we got to.
@@k.c.8662 exactly! it just felt so over the top tragic but i thought maybe the mom was just bad at writing or something,,,,
Same! I literally said this in the comments of the first one but people just believed her word for gospel! I’ve been going to therapy unpacking issues from narcissistic parents and this sent off so many red flags that I wouldn’t have noticed before!
Also I would recommend reading Jennette McCurdy’s book “I’m glad my mom died” It gives an incredible insight on abusive mothers and how our brains are incapable of placing blame on them!
In the first story the "I starved myself to get these things for them" was a red flag because thats a common guilttripping tactic. Like when people say "ill hurt myself if you don't do this" or "i hurt myself for you why aren't you giving me what I want"
My ex had an emotional affair with some girl he met at a bar and she knew about me but didn’t care. When he came clean to me, he tried justifying what he did by saying it was only emotional but tbh I think emotional cheating is much worse than physical cheating. You went behind my back AND FELL IN LOVE with someone else like what? Anyway they got together after we broke up and a couple months later she broke up with him😅 he came back crying, i said boy bye.
I’m so sorry this happened to you :( As someone who had the same situation happen (but physical cheating), I know it’s a hard thing to get through. Just know that with time, you’ll feel better. It doesn’t hurt less but it becomes less active in your mind.❤ hope you’re doing ok since it all
@@jilltackes4009 I didn't see your comment until now! Thank you for your sweet words. I moved on with someone new. I hope you are doing good as well❤️
in the bananas story what struck me was when he mentioned that her sister made a smoothie and then she lied about the ingredients. i can almost guarantee that she told her sister something along the lines of “he fakes the banana thing, he won’t even notice they’re in this smoothie if we don’t tell him”, gave him a smoothie with banana, and he tasted it and vomited because he isn’t faking. that doesn’t sound like something that happened recently, it sounds like an old wound, so it makes me think that she was showing signs of who she has become now
Yeah this story pissed me off SO much as an ADHD + autistic person with food aversions because of sensory issues.
I was literally so happy when they said Morgan finally farts in front of Justin😂😭 I’ve been waiting for this news for far too long.
Haha I still can’t believe it. No noises yet only smell though so does it really count?
Baby steps 🫡
@@TwoHotTakes Yes it’s the silent but deadly ones, definitely counts 😭🤣
@@judyp1423 yup you right.. they're beyond deadly 😫poor guy
I would have died to see his reaction to the first fart. Can we get a short of his take on it?
Immediate red flags in the first banana story: “ran to the bathroom *like a child* to throw it up” “the threat that he will be sick” “*makes himself* throw up”
Sensory issues are not a choice.
And this is why I say I'm allergic to mint and bananas. I get migraine and nauseous from them. And people saying I'm over reacting or just need to try it again really get on my nerves.
Peanuts and peanut butter make me sick. Just the smell makes me want to throw up. I never claim to be allergic, but I might as well be with my aversion to peanuts.
I immediately knew she doesn’t respect him with her wording there. Shit like this isn’t a choice
I don’t have many taste sensory issues other than salmon, and that smell/taste immediately throws me into sensory overload, even if I’m not in the same room
@@kathrosie007omg, I say I’m allergic too! Bananas and avocado for me!
Since my first pregnancy 24 years ago I cannot consume avocado anything- I’ve tried so hard to eat it and keep it down but my stomach won’t tolerate it. I can’t stand even the smell of bananas most of the time
@@Forrest-wv5nfis it just salmon or all fish/seafood?
There were a few things missed out in the 3way story:
1. He asked her for a 3 way when they were in bed just minutes after they were intimate.
2. Halfway into the 3way, the wife left, but the husband kept having seggs with the other lady. He did not follow his wife out or even stop even when he knew she was not okay with it.
That is why he wrote that it was his fault that the relationship ended.
Im not even at that story yet.
But just seeing this breakdown yupp. If a partner isn't ok with something like that halfway through the person needs to stop
On top of all that, she just had a baby *chef’s kisses*
I don't mind threesomes but to me it's skmething my partner and I can do together as a couple. If they left during it I would no longer want it. I am not strictly monogomous either so even if the 3rd person was a part of the relationship I'd still get concerned and stop
I don’t get the relevance to point 1…
@@HypeerChick You probably shouldn't be thinking about and mentioning someone else immediately after being intimate with your partner, is my guess
For the threesome story, I think the biggest problem (apart from COMMUNICATION) was when she asked him if he was still interested in the threesome. She was using that as a test, basically seeing if he would have changed his mind about it after seeing her initial reaction. He interpreted it as interest on her end. Thus he "failed" her test.
I personally think it's still really weird to approach your significant other with the idea of a threesome before even asking what they think about threesomes, especially since he was basically talking behind her back about it with a former coworker. But at the end of the day, she's the one who ended the marriage.
I was looking for this! I agree its weird to have a potential threesome basically lined up before asking her opinions on them first… She brought it up again after saying no! Which seems like it sparked her interest.
Bottom line. Stop testing people & setting them up to disappoint you. Thats how misunderstandings and unnecessary action start. Be upfront and firm with your feelings.
One thing neither person really mentioned was that the wife was post partum. Their youngest baby was apparently still very young and he mentioned the threesome right after being intimate with her. So I think it threw her mind into overdrive and it just escalated from there. I think it's possible this was the straw that broke the camels back
@@G275P interesting point!
The wife should’ve been enough!! You don’t ask to bring other people into sex! That’s like saying, I’m not happy with you! And I want other women! But I don’t want the guilt! If it’s what both of them were into something like that before making a commitment, that’s different, but if they never talked about it, they why bring it up. He did it to himself, once she said she wasn’t into it, he should’ve shut down her offer.
Yes!!! She isn’t wrong feeling the way she does. It’s like saying you don’t satisfying me and I want more. But if it was something they both did in the pass, or would watch that kind of corn, and would be like that will be so fun. Let’s do it, then it’s different, but he just slept with his wife! And said, I want a 3way, he did it to himself.
When Lauren’s on… you know it’s gonna be a goood one🤩🤩
Love Lauren!
I know right, she's so much fun!!
Love her so much she’s so wholesome and down to earth. You can tell there friendship is really genuine
So true
She's my fav
I felt like I was in the minority for the first story feeling like something was off in the first video. It’s not that I didn’t believe OP, but children raised in a healthy, loving environment don’t just randomly verbally abuse their mom out of nowhere. Kinda thought the verbal abuse could be a normal occurrence in the household from all parties and OP was just looking for comfort / validation by posting, but wowww. Great episode you two!
SAME like the WHOLE family ganged up on her really? She was so innocent and perfect yet NO ONE stepped in and took her side or offered comfort? Ik people can be real shit sometimes but interpersonal conflicts are usually not so cut and dry.
Do either of you know which episode that first story was on?
@@belledruzzo1061 it’s story 1 on their “Could it Have been Handled Better” episode. It’s a few videos back!
I felt the same!
@@Comicbrooke thank you 💕💕
The daughter isn’t even Williams daughter but he’s still caring about her more than the own mother
I mean, it is his daughter, he adopted her.
Biological… he met her when she was already 3 or 4. He is a great man for adopting her and not just leaving her with her crazy momster
Story 4: I read in the comments that she was a few months post partum and they _just_ had sex. She was probably freshly healt and vulnerable. Him asking at that moment is kinda weird. Kinda dense.
As if she didn't satisfy him anymore.
Also during the thing he basically railed the other girl in front of his (ex) wife. That's not a threesome in my book.
Her spiel was unnecessary but I don't feel any sympathy towards him.
Yeah that would probably end it for me too.
And she left and he didn’t even notice and kept fucking the other lady?? She had good intuition I’m glad she served the paper and she needs to get in therapy asap
100% this.
But she never communicate anything? You can't say you've thought of divorce since the first moment then proceed to follow through with it cause you're curious. Maybe he was curious too. She just threw away her whole marriage because communicating how she feels was too hard. She should've said she didn't want a threesome, not go to the dates, have the threesome, then say she thought of divorce long before... Imagine thinking all is ok then suddenly your wife divorces you for a reason you didn't know existed cause she went along with it
A good thing to remember is there’s really three sides - the sides of both parties and the truth. Take both sides with a grain of salt because none of us know these people lol. Great episode!
You're so so right!!
Yes, my mom always said once you get both sides to the story, just know the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.
@@marinewifey1015 this is true unless one party is a narcissist who makes things up
I think an important aspect of story 4 is the setting in which the 3some was suggested, I mean right after being intimate? I can imagine that could feel like a major blow…
Yeah totally like “was sex with me not enough to satisfy you?” And it’s so weird to me that he was talking to a woman the wife didn’t know about having sex with eachother that’s a red flag for me
Yes exactly. Like i don't think it was about insecurities but rather it was just plain offensive. Some people take offense to those topics and i think they were together long enough for him to know her possible reaction
@@Eponine_Sandon right like just the fact he was intrigued by that idea.... Like why...?😬 Ave tbh the fact he was all excited about the 3 some bring confirmed. Idk but i def sympathize with the OP. Whatever floats your boat when it comes to sex but i wouldn't like to be in that situation
@@Eponine_Sandon the other thing is, she said no and was distant afterwards. Only to suddenly "change her mind"? That didn't set off any bells?
One thing I read from the original post is that he litteraly continue being with the girl while the wife was so out and the way he said she became"passive" during the threesome is that she just was there looking at her husband with another woman..he was so excited about the matter that he didn't realize his wife was not into it
I have ADHD and I’ve never really understood why people are so mean about things we are sensitive to. We can’t help it lmao I wish I could
I remeber reading the story about the treesome and the wife said that she said in the middle that she wasnt ok and she left but then the husband kept going at it in the bedroom for HOURS with the other girl.
That’s messed up…
cc Bananas story:
there is no doubt in my mind that what the girlfriend was doing was intentionally cruel. You may not understand someone’s quirk, but actively trying to force them into confronting it just because it inconveniences you is some sociopath shit. I have something called ARFID, which is an eating disorder essentially rooted in this exact issue - I am repulsed by 99% of foods. And by repulsed I mean absolutely physically unable to handle even the idea of some foods. It is not rational and it is extremely inconvenient, so if it was as easy as just “sucking it up” trust me I would have done that 20 years ago. It’s one thing to not “get it” when someone reacts that way, but dismissing it entirely by claiming it’s childish behavior is hateful in so many ways. If your partner resorts to treating you this way instead of trying to be understanding and accommodating, tbh I think they secretly hate you. Get out brother and run so far away. She’ll be Minimizing your problems for the rest of your life if you stay.
Thank you so much for sharing! Another listener messaged me about ARFID today and the correlation with neurodivergence so I'm definitely going to do more research. I completely agree with the fact that if your partner treats you dismissively or with disdain they must have you.. I think she really does. Especially with the comment about the baby and not trying or whatever she said.
She needs to recognize that him getting the bananas for her was really an act of love on his part.
@@jamesfarr5754 yes!! He overcame that for her and she repaid him by demeaning him
@@TwoHotTakes no problem! I hadn’t heard of it until I was diagnosed. It’s a spectrum like Lauren said!
It is literally physically painful, makes people faint or vomit with some sensory stimuli, everyone has different reactions
Thank you for these uploads. My husband was diagnosed with cancer last week, and I have been rewatching episodes as a comfort. We are trying to figure out things medically and financially, and this podcast is an escape for me. It feels like I am having a drink and listening to my friends when I watch.
Y’all are the best. Thank you Morgan and friends.
Keeping you and you hubby in my thoughts!! The C word is terrifying but I'm putting so much good energy out there that everything will be okay ❤
I am sending you positive thoughts and energy. Here's a hug from an internet stranger
@@TwoHotTakes omg thank you 😭😭 y'all are so sweet. Really. I wasn't even sure if you'd see this, and your reply is so kind. I appreciate your interactions with us fans, and this wonderful community you've built.

THE SENSORY STORY.
Morgan please I have worked so hard to process and explain this.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS & TELL ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN:
I just want to address something that people without sensory issues do not understand.
*For context, I used to be neurotypical-- romanticized the entire sensory profile even, then I got a traumatic brain injury and part of what was damaged was my brain stem. Now, I have a sensory processing disorder causing extreme light, sound, & tactile, static, & thermal touch sensitivity. Sometimes smells and tastes but they're more peripheral.
So ANYWAY. I know both sides to this.
At 52:16 Lauren says it's an "irrational fear" and I can tell she knows the difference but to be clear:
A lot of neurotypicals are mistaken in thinking that people with sensory aversion are having phobia.
People with sensory issues are not afraid. They do not avoid it out of fear. They're pained, they're discomforted.
When you have a nail stuck in your shoe and you take it out, you are not afraid. You are pained. Now, when you avoid walking on places that might have nails, you're not afraid of nails. You're simply aware that stepping on nails is going to cause you a visceral pain response & you would prefer that didn't happen because it's painful, discomforting, exhausting, and for a lot of people with processing issues-- ongoing.
In cases like this, the banana is the nail. He's not afraid of the banana. The banana is causing his nervous system to misfire in an exhausting way. So he avoids the banana.
Her ideology, which unfortunately is in line with a LOT of medical professionals is that he should continue to step on the nail until his response to the pain he feels is socially acceptable.
And this is why I'm here talking about this. Because it's so frustrating that people think it's just something he doesn't like or that he's afraid of & that he should just over-expose himself.
yes thank you! aba therapy is so fucking horrible and ableist in their practices and one of the things they do to autistic children is just force them to interact with their sensory discomfort until they finally learn to just stay quiet about it, they dont 'get better' about the sensory they just learn that no one will help them, its extremely damaging to anyone. teaching people to just settle in discomfort is inhumane.
I know this was posted a few months ago but I wanted to say thank you for sharing and wording this so well - I have ADHD and a sensory aversion to foam and I feel like if I was to see people eating foam I would implode… I would have probably brought her the unpeeled banana and then left the room/apartment myself since she is pregnant but I don’t think that he is overreacting
@@rachnab04 thank YOU for reading and replying 💛
I thought I might've wasted my spoons typing this into the void but to know that it hit home for you, and then to see actually a good number of people did read this? feels very nice.
That lady was plain ole malicious!
I've noticed a LOT of neuro-typicals are when it comes to this topic.
I love this answer! You nailed it for sure!
That was extremely well said, I'm so happy to see people there to explain and shake off all the misinformation there is on sensory issues and whatnot. Thank you♡
Pegging and a threesome is totally different. Pegging is an item. Threesome is another person. I understand why she was upset and she should have just told him from the jump that she no longer wanted to be in the relationship rather than dragging it out
Yeah saying pegging is like a threesome is so weird and dehumanising of both the partner and the other person in the threesome.
they're not comparing the actual actions of pegging and a threesome they're comparing it being brought up to see what your partner thinks if it. they used 69 and hitting it from the back.
I really got baby trapping vibes from the banana story so I’m so surprised no one is talking about that aspect of it 😳 of course her basically torturing him is bad, but the idea that she’s trying to force him to provide for her by baby trapping him and makes the story SO much WORSE if true 😬
I was looking for this comment. As soon as he said that, I started feeling like she tampered with it and purposely got pregnant. I'm thinking maybe she could sense them starting to drift apart, so she got pregnant to bring him closer to her. Idk I'm just speculating.
I’m wondering if there is even a baby or if she is lying
This guy sounds to me like he has OCD. My husband has OCD and his triggers are weird. I heard them say that he could be Autistic, but the way my husband is sounds just like this. At some point you just are like enough is enough. They put up blocks that are stifling to you and it is stressful when you are pregnant like 10 fold. It just sounds like a stressful relationship. Trust me there are more things that he does that isn't pertaining to a banana.
YES!! thats what i was thinking!! first I first thought this when he said she quit her job without telling him. That puts him in the position, if they ever disagree, of having to make the choice of leaving her stranded pregnant with no income or putting up with whatever she wants. If the choice to leave a job is a joint decision then it wouldn't have been bad but since he said she did it without his knowledge... im getting baby trap vibes!
My ass forgot this was Two Sides to every Story. I change my mind. 100% baby trap.
Thank you for yelling at the third one Lauren!
Sensory disorders can be so terrible, and being embarrassed of something that doesn’t reflect on you and is so insensitive to your partner is horrible.
Adhd has enough challenges without being shamed by a partner for a reasonable boundary. If he was allergic to peanuts would you demand he shell them for you?
For the emotional cheating story; I think it’s totally natural to form crushes but if you actually love your S.O. you will distance yourself from the crush so it can’t develop into anything sordid, just never take that chance. For me, I have a hard time distinguishing between different types of admiration so I just keep people at a distance when I start to feel a type of way until it goes away. Be intentionally loyal folks
Story #4 ppl need to keep in mind that the husband asked for the 3 some moments after being intimate and are still laying in bed……. Time and place ppl that might have helped a lot.
Still, going from 0 to divorce? No, thats just wrong
@@asork1142 Disagree. That's something you don't forget. Threesomes in monogamous relationships are sickening... she had every reason to divorce him. She would have never been happy.
@@asork1142 i personally don’t agree. if my boyfriend suggested that he was wanting to have sex with another woman, i’d never ever be able to stop thinking about it. to each their own but that would absolutely destroy me. it’s just boundaries.
@@yin-yi5189 “threesomes in monogamous relationships are sickening” you know what’s sickening? Saying something is disgusting when it’s none of your business and is happening between consenting adults. You just announced to the world that you’re nosy and judgmental, congrats

I have recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness that has me often bed bound and depressed. nothing makes me forget and laugh as much as these podcast. It may not be much but this internet stranger is grateful for that little bit of laughter. It means more than you know to so many people, thanks THT ❤
I'm happy you've made your way here and join us each week ❤️ that means more to me than you know!! And I love that the podcast makes you laugh and get lost in it!
Hey, I'm so sorry for what you're going through! I'm actually headed to the rheumatologist today to investigate what is going on with me, so I understand.
I hope you can get things under control and manage as well as possible!
@@mxngos7493 thank you and I hope it went well!
what you missed about the first one is THE AUNT THAT “PUSHED HER OUT THE DOOR” ALSO POSTED AND CONFIRMED THAT IT’S ALL A LIE
Yes, she posted in the comments of the original post, and what she said checks out with the daughter's story.
She said “they’re my only kids”
Wooooooow insane.
Honestly….the story about the threesome, the situation would also make me rethink my marriage and want to leave. The husband already had the person before asking the wife about having one. While he was not the one who came up with the idea, he’s the one in the marriage and sexual desires should have been talked about before and after getting married. He already had the plans of doing it whether it was a threesome or not.
No … he didn’t have plans on doing it. Don’t project. He suggested & she shot it down & he moved on & didn’t press the issue. He wasn’t begging for a 3some, he asked how she would feel about it & respected her decisions. Doesn’t mean he would’ve went on to cheat on her.
Apparently there more to that story.
Story 4 - I would be devastated if my partner wanted to sleep with another person, even if it was a 3some 😢 It would torture me
Story 4: personally, someone recommending a threesome to me would be a relationship ending thing but I know that’s not how everyone feels.
Usually significant others will bring it up as a way to spice up a relationship or try something different. It isn't a cunning way to get away from you lol. It's been proposed to me and I declined, he never brought it up again. I'll also propose things and he may have the discretion to do with that request however he pleases. If a threesome/ anything else is a deal breaker for you, tell them upfront. If they keep egging you on, then that would be the time to split.
No fr
@@nianichole2856 but most guys want one bc they want to sleep with someone they know without cheating
@@corpsegirl You wouldn't know that unless you communicate properly. And if you don't trust your partner enough to think that way about them, why are you even in the relationship still?
Valid but also, wouldn't you communicate it? That man didn't even know what was gonna happen, for him, the divorce was completely out of the blue because she seemed to be ok, followed through with it, then boom: "i wanted to divorce you since you had asked". What about him? Why did she never talk about it?
Ngl hearing the first story the first time I had a feeling something was being left out… my mom said something similar to me, “having to raise you is punishment for having an abortion “ and sadly, 10 years later I still think about it weekly. I also don’t have a relationship w my mom currently which is peaceful but it sucks. It eats away and you and you can’t help but think you did something wrong.
Love both you ladies and I always love seeing Lauren’s beautiful face on the thumbnail lol & thank you!!! I’ve been binging two idiot girls all week!!
Hi
Yes! I felt the same way when i first heard the story. I just felt that something was off with her story! And I felt that the fact that her son's didn't want her there was OFF as HELL! It's very unlikely for the kids to not want the mother (or parent). And if they don't, they usually have a reason for that.
I’ve had something similar said to me. Think about it daily.
Same especially since she didn't give any background as to indicate that this kind of thing had happened before or they had been that way to her in the past
it stays w you /: sending love
I have an ex who was terrified of bananas - I found it literally no trouble at all to eat bananas away from him. I would never have wanted him to go through what happened in story 3, I don’t understand how OP could do that to their partner 😢
Seriously, that’s so fucked up. Idc how ridiculous their fear may sound to me, I could never do that to anyone at all much less my person 💔
I’m the same, my partner is like what Morgan described of her reaction to fish. I love seafood but I just don’t have it at home and it’s nbd. Idk what is wrong with people.
I know! And what are the chances the ONE food she can stomach and has a craving for. I call bs on OP
@@LeeannG sure but it might have been a legitimate craving (the part about potassium is true and does happen) but it doesn't excuse her horrible behaviour. She is an a-hole and not a good partner. She doesn't even seem to like the baby she's carrying (I mean "damn thing"?).
With the threesome story I do think this is on the husband and I can see where it hurt her. I mean he suggested it literally right after the two of them had intercourse as if he was thinking it could be better with someone that would make anyone insecure. She told him it was something that doesn’t think she would ever be interested in he noticed she was distant and sad and she told him that that was why yet he still says he wants one and already has woman in mind. It seems he neglected her obvious feelings about it that he had noticed but was looking for any way for her to still say yes. Then when it happens and she’s clearly uncomfortable in his eyes why wouldn’t he stop it. It seems like all he cared about was his sexual fantasies and not the feelings of his wife and stability of his marriage. “ I would’ve forgot about it if she said she didn’t want it” then follows saying she originally said she didn’t want it so why didn’t he say no forget about it it’s not worth your happiness” yet still said he wanted it when she asked if he still wanted it.
I don't know why but Lauren, Justin, and Alejandra just feel different. I very much love when you have them on and My fav is definitely Lauren. I also think Morgan just seems so much more comfortable around them. Don't get me wrong I practically love every collab you do. However, I love it more when they are on. It'd be cool to get Lauren and Alejandra on together again for another creepy scary story edition.
You’re the best 🥹🥰 and I know!!! I want another with Ale!! So fun!!
@@Lauren-ib3ok Ok, I got a response....totally fangirling right now...
Drew afualo & sarah schauer are the only exceptions
@@lioreubm677 Sarah and drew are hilarious too! But my faves stay the same. :)
I like how she prefaces as if it going to be short and then its 2hrs long 😅🙏🏼
I know lol. She was like "this is gonna be a real quick one" and then I looked at the time at the bottom and just laughed.
@@smilehappyface8 I like longer episodes but that did make me laugh too 😆
Story #4 is funny because she said something about a language barrier and before she mentioned that I was like she’s def Latina. Assuming she is, I’m going to speak on what I think happened, as our culture is different to American culture. Threesomes are NOT okay and NOT accepted in our culture. Him asking was beyond disrespectful and something I would’ve probably left for too. Especially as it’s usually always implied in Latino relationships even more so when there’s kids involved and a marriage. I think she continued with the threesome almost to make herself leave the relationship because if she didn’t it always would’ve been a “what if he wasn’t actually serious” but she wanted to see for herself so she can have a definitive decision without getting cold feet. He may be saying that he wouldn’t have suggested a threesome if she would’ve said no and never entertain the idea but it seems to me that he wanted to spice it up and got bored so maybe in the future since he knew she wasn’t open to a threesome he would’ve just cheated. Not saying the way she handled was okay but that’s just my speculation…
Just saw an update with more details stating that she had barely had a baby 8months prior to that and he had been messaging the other girl 6 months ago… yikes 😅
Definitely! Your analysis is spot on, I felt so uncomfortable listening to the story and hearing Morgan and the cohost defend the husband because I'm Mexican and I would literally had told him then and there pack your bag I want a divorce. But I get it it's a cultural difference and to them it's not that big of a deal.
I really hate being aromantic sometimes, but gods damn the cheating stories make me relieved that I'll never have to deal with that
real
I know romance is a huge thing in our society but platonic relationships are worth it just as much as romantic relationships. We don't need romance even if it's still a standard to date or get married sometime in your life (coming from someone on the aromantic spectrum too who hears about relationships and boys everywhere while never having any crushes and feeling different/off)
MORGAN. I’m so proud of you for breaking down the fart barrier with Justin.
That last one, ngl... I'd divorce too. If you've gotten as far as asking for it, it's clear you want it, and I personally don't want to be married to someone who wants to have sex with other people. I do communicate in my marriage. We do talk. BUT if he's ever listened to anything I've said about my personal preferences on monogamy and sex as an act of love, he would never ask. If he ever asked, I would never be able to unhear that question so I can't say I wouldn't do exactly what this wife did. Also, if another woman asked him, I would wonder what sort of vibes he's sending out that make a woman think he'd be up for that.
Yeah the fact he already had someone in mind and had been talking to her for months is a lot for me. Then that could be considered cheating
You explained my thoughts perfectly
Since Morgan always admits that she jumps to divorce quickly in a lot of the stories, I’m surprised that she was so judge mental about the woman wanting a divorce in the threesome story. It seems like anytime there’s someone who is sexually conservative in one of the stories they are always Labeled as being dramatic just because the people on the show think so differently than them about sex. I would think that Morgan would understand because she is so pro divorce that once someone is done they are done, and it doesn’t really matter what that reason is, they are just done. I think in the stories it is often overlooked how much the couple knows each other or should know each other. She may have felt like her husband should’ve known that she never would’ve wanted that, or that the way she handled it initially meant that he should have apologized and never even humored the conversation again when she brought it up. Maybe she felt like he should’ve knew her better.
I will say that the woman choosing to go through with it definitely does sound like she’s her own worst enemy. But I do understand her feeling like her marriage is already over and wanting to see if it would be worth it to her husband even though it’s a little crazy. I also wonder if this was her last attempt to save the marriage, maybe if he had noticed how uninterested she was and stopped it that could’ve saved it. Like if he had been like no this isn’t right she isn’t enjoying this we need to stop I’m sorry that I even suggested this, maybe that would’ve been enough for her to stay. And maybe she’s trying to give him that chance to realize that he was “Wrong.”
I completely agree. Some people aren't open to things like that and like you said, their partners should know them already to understand the boundaries. Her decision for divorce seems a bit heavy but, we don't know how the couple is in person and daily. The husband could have seen something wrong and could have shut it down. But, I'm on the wife's side on this.
It’s also absolutely reasonable for her response (or anyone in that position) to have been “If you can even entertain that thought, we are not compatible.” I would 100% feel that way if a partner brought it up to me. I disagree with Morgan that it’s comparable to other “kinks”. For some people, it’s not a matter of “I’m just not into that” it’s “What?! You can imagine being with a person besides me and being okay with/liking it??” Personally, that idea would destroy me/my relationship and I wouldn’t be able to look at my partner the same way again. I understand how OP felt that first night and the spiral of thoughts of “why am I not enough anymore” and imagining him with someone else. I would be broken. If it was early on in the relationship, I would break it off because I’d know then and there our commitment levels are different and we are not compatible. If it was already a long-term relationship, even if I could make it still work, I don’t know if I’d ever fully recover from the anxiety/insecurity of the suggestion. I disagree with Morgan that it’s always “just a harmless suggestion” especially if one partner should know better than to ask/bring it up after /literal years of marriage/.
I think the reason why she wasn’t pro divorce to this one is because the chick was tip toeing around the conversation instead of communicating with her partner about her feelings about it and then agreed to it as well.
Call me crazy but asking for a threesome would end my relationship too, for the entire rest of the relationship I’d feel like just me alone wasn’t satisfying my partner enough and I’d just feel too insecure in that relationship (although you think of you were married you would already know eachothers absolute no’s) but also it would be a GIANT red flag for me if my partner was talking about having sex with/to a woman I didn’t even know (I mean he had to show her the gals Instagram page) that she would be a violation of my relationship, yeah I think it’s nuts that she said yes to the threesome but also it would end my relationship too.
same. it would deal breaker for me!
Well said 🎉
Same, trust would instantly be thrown out the window as soon as my husband brought up wanting to sleep with other women, having one already set up would make it even worse, like the experience you might get to have would be worth more than the security of your relationship, to even bring it up after agreeing to a monogamous relationship would be a deal breaker
I think that is a boundary you have to set at the beginning of your relationship. Me, personally, I am open to exploring a lot of fantasies but what I cannot do is CNC. My partner got a heads-up about it in the beginning and never brought it up while talking about our sexual desires ( which are all very valid and everyone in a relationship should be able to communicate their fetishes, fantasies, and anything sexual really, since sex is a relationship isn't just meaningless fuck, its intimacy and trust, being vulnerable and desired)
@@ZazaBela99 then he should have brought it up at the beginning of the relationship because a lot of people might not even consider it and so will not set that boundary so if he had brought it up then she could have said yes or no
i know the first story is the big one in this episode but the banana story really got to me too. I also have ADHD and i am the same way about onions. Can't smell them, touch them, literally cannot eat food (even if i paid for it!) if it has onions in it, especially raw ones. my partner knows about this, and definitely thinks its a bit odd that i am repulsed by them to the point of FEAR, but would never, ever ask me to cut, prepare, and interact with something that makes me sick. Sure, he could work harder to take charge of his ADHD, but if she really something that makes him so upset, she could at least prepare the banana herself and eat it away from him. story just seemed outright cruel, seemed like she was using her pregnancy as an excuse to punish him for something that she can't understand/irritates her.
How is he supposed to work harder on his ADHD? Genuinely asking. Cause he has a job, he graduated, has been to therapy. What else is he supposed to do?
@@mmg8830 I think because he's not medicated he's not ""working hard enough", bs
Yes! it was like she was trying to belittle and punish him for embarrassing her. He overcame such a hurdle cause he loved her & wanted to help, and then she basically rubs his nose in it like a dog who’s pooped on the carpet 💔so sad he’s only seen this side of her now 😬
Exactly! She's acting like it's just anyone else who just CHOOSES not to eat something because they don't prefer the texture. Clearly his sensory overload in this situation is scent, and his mind/body cannot handle it. She is absolutely horrible and like they said, being a bitch on purpose. I've been pregnant haha it's not that hard to peel your own banana lmao
@@mmg8830 yeah, just existing with adhd is pretty hard work in my opinion lmao
when i first heard that story about the mom i immediately was triggered because it sounded exactly like my dad and i couldn’t finish the episode im so glad that her daughter was able to come out and tell her side of the story because it’s painful to have a parent figure like that wishing her love and happiness ❤
9:57 no it’s totally different. there is a Big differcene between asking to try different sex positions and asking to involve a third person in your sexlife
Period
Yes people can want different things at different times. But they were talking as if the two things are the same and they’re just not.
While I definetly think the wife in the 3way story should have been more communicative with her emotions, after reading the comments there was some context I think got left out. The wife had just given birth a few months before her husband asked for a 3way. So post partem depression might be a factor, plus the body changes that come with birth could make her ultra sensitive to a comment like that. He also notes that during the 3way he noticed she seemed very uncomfortable but he didn't want to stop being with the other woman and ignored it. She definitely should have talked it out but honestly there was some stuff that he should have just noticed. Like why didn't he stop when she noticed she wasn't comfortable. Both were in the wrong and should have just started couples therapy before doing any 3way. Messy AF
You cannot expect everyone to notice every other person's problems/issues. You MUST communicate, don't expext someone to read your mind. Imagine everything appearing ok in your marriage and then suddenly your wife tells you she wants a divorce due to something you had no ideea that was a problem.
@@timeea.i19 He didn’t have to read her mind. Once she stopped everything with him and the 3rd.
He should have said “this isn’t working, let’s stop.” I’m not sure, but I thought he even indicated that she left the room.
If your partner who has been distant, since that topic was brought up, stops interacting all together during the 3way and then leaves the room and you continue. Then you are in the wrong. It’s disrespectful and effed up.
First you name drop David dobrik and now a Netflix actor 😂 y’all are making me want a Lauren story time, she’s so sweet and charismatic
Yesss!!! Lauren story time would be super amazing!
The Banana one: As a pregnant person the cravings are no joke, just can literally turn feral to get that item. HOWEVER, she was totally the arsehole in this context, he was willing to compromise, by buying it her and asking her to not eat it around him. It is a shame she does not have a food aversion when pregnant because then she would know how he feels.
Oh man... I was such a bitch when I was pregnant with my first son. I couldn't stand cucumbers.... And it was very bad.. I couldn't handle the taste, the smell, even sight... It was so terrible that I made my colleagues not te eat cucumbers when I worked(worked part time) , it was summer so it was their favorite snack... I avoided the vegetable section in stores because I could smell them... It was horrible..
It passed the second my baby was born and I apologized to my colleagues about my behavior. They had a good laugh about it and knew that I normally don't act that way...
Hormones really can mess you up 🙈
I feel bad for the unborn kid. Imagine if the child is neurodivergent too and has to deal with a mother who refuses to understand or accommodate.
No ma’am, cravings won’t turn you feral and even if they are strong they’re not giving anyone the right to be a twat
@@elodieelvira7913 as a current pregnant person I disagree 🤣, but if you read what I wrote I said it was not an excuse for her to be a horrid person.
The story about the husband requesting a 3some got me thinking. I feel like if he had mentioned in the first place how the idea of having one came about to start the conversation (his ex-coworker DM-ing him), things may have ended differently. Personally, this is a boundary my partner and I are not capable of crossing in our own relationship and even the idea is not something we would entertain, but if they had never talked about it before and had never talked about boundaries regarding the openness of their sexual relationship, she should have used this as an opportunity to put those boundaries in place.
I'm so pleased that I SENSED that the mom from the first story was really the problem and was just a narcissist playing the victim!! was so surrpsied when i didnt see many comments about it in the first video
For the story of the three way….
I feel for her. Because they had been together so long..
And he’s just randomly bringing it up. She probably feels like she’s not enough now and the fact she knows he’s thinking about it makes it worse. That’s a hard boundary for a lot of people. And once you cross it there is no way to make it 100% again.
My mom was *really good* at making herself seem like the victim, even over the tiniest things. It messed with my perception of reality for at least a decade
As an autistic (ASD) person who also has ADHD, the way the pregnant woman in the third story abused her partner's sensory issue is heart-wrenching and disturbing.
This, unfortunately, is an experience that many of us, neurodivergent folks, experience throughout our lives. Something that may seem trivial to the typical person may cause us to shut down or melt down, and when we are told that we are being ridiculous/dramatic, it just feels like shit rather than fixing anything.
As a child, I thought that something was deeply wrong with me and that I was being an inconvenience to others-- that I wouldn't be cared for if I showed that loud noises made my brain boil-- so when overwhelmed due to sensory issues, I would run to hide and cry away from anyone who could see. Because I hid my pain, I didn't get help until I became an adult; by that time, I developed serious mental health issues partly because of the amount of energy I spent as a child masking.
Don't get me wrong: being neurodivergent in itself is no curse-- it's just that the struggles we have are different to that of the majority. I would never choose to have another mind, as mine has allowed me to make wonderful things.
I ask neurotypical people who want to be a part of the solution rather than the problem: be mindful so that you don't contribute to the vast ableist tendencies of our society.
hi i’m sorry i’ve never come across who has that but atm im being tested for ASD, how did you know and what other signs did you see in yourself? thank you
@@charlotte3794 I’m also ASD, and you can ask me if you want
@@charlotte3794 And ASD is different with females and males, and it is an spectrum disorder for everyone involved
@@danganryanne9499 hi :D so two others of my family members have autism and I personally had no idea I might've, but recently I've been noticing more things that make me question that maybe I am. I'm biologically a female and was a very loud and overly confident child, now at 16 I'm more reserved but more confident with close ones; I feel like I can jump around the room making random noises to crying and not leaving my room for a few days, I'm prone to distancing myself and I'm also quite an anxious and self critical person; I also find I have a lot of special interests I pick up and safe foods like for example I'm obsessed with gingerbread and capri suns
@@charlotte3794 Hello :D you most likely have it because autism is genetic and since two of your family members have it, you most likely have it, and the way you described is similar to how I am, when I was in elementary, I was pretty loud and confident, but now I am pretty quiet and barely talk, but I am talkative with people that I am close with ^^
OP’s reaction of the 1st story is so very gracious and mature with regards to her awful experience with her mom. The fact that she is even understanding for everyone who believed her mom’s bs story shows how much of a bigger person she is. I admire her for her strength !
For the last story, I can see where the wife is coming from, for some people asking for a three way is a huge betrayal. Especially when he already had who he wanted in mind. If I was in the position I don’t know what I would do, it’s a lot to ask of someone when you never mentioned that being something you’d want in the dating phase. People change but it’s hard to expect others to change for you. Should she have indulged him? Probably not, but she already feels betrayed, what’s one last betrayal back?
The one last betrayal is divorce so it’s a pretty big leap 😭
@@majak5752 Not really - once someone asks, that won't leave your head... I completely do not understand threeways. There's no intimacy or commitment... meaningless animal humping.
this podcast genuinely makes my days so much better
same i look forward to them posting
The thing is the first time I heard the Switch-mom story I did think it was kind of weird, how it was worded. Specifically the part that said "everyone laughed", it reminded me of the "everyone clapped" stories that people post for validation.
Then again, I know people can end up not only in abusive marriages/partnerships, but also in situations where the whole family partakes in said abuse. So I didn't want to just doubt someone without anymore information. Like the girls said, I just took it at face value.
Now with the daughter's side of things it makes so much more sense.
Story 4, wasn’t there another part to the wife’s story where she left and he didn’t even notice till 3 am?
Yeah they need to do the update. And that she had just had a baby and he was talking to the coworker while she was pregnant
God, the first story…I’m a twin so hearing the mother favor one twin over the other sounds like hell
I called it on the first one. My grandmother is insanely narcissistic and the exact same as this woman. She will manipulate a whole situation just so she doesn’t have to admit her wrong doing. This sounded so familiar.
The threesome story: The way sex is so casual in America never fails to baffles me. In my country, the idea of threesome is an immediate red flag in a relationship. It's VERY COMMON and VERY VALID to want a divorce after your partner essentially asking for permission to have sex with another person. It doesn't fucking matter that he wants her there too. The point is he is considering sleeping with another person. How tf it's not valid to feel like it's a betrayal of trust?
She was 8 months postpartum and uncomfortable with her body& he had been talking to the coworker for 6 months. OP apparently left during the threesome and he didn’t bother stopping.
Exactly! This was my thoughts too, he's basically asking for a hall pass to sleep with other people, she is his pawn.
It’s not like that for all Americans, trust me. 😂
This seems really judgmental for no reason. Do you think people in polyamorous relationships are bad people? Do you think people who have 3somes are bad people? Are we straight up just gonna ignore that consent is a thing?
@@briannad9155 I don't think they're bad people, but I also don't believe in the sexual practice. It's emotionally draining and damaging. You can do wtf you want with your sexual life, but don't enforce it on others to feel the same way.
The wife in the 3 way story should have just said no and told him immediately that his disrespect for their marriage had changed the way she saw him too much to save. She went way too far actually going through with it. It's insane and didn't help anyone in the situation. It needed to end before this.
I will admit though, picturing my own husband admitting to me that there was a woman in his life that felt comfortable enough to openly invite herself into our sex life, and that he admittedly wanted to have sex with and was happy to make it happen, my brain went a little dark too. So I kind of get her. Still, she needs therapy.
Honestly, it might have been that she brought it up to him because she was super comfortable about it, and he brought it up to this wife *that day*. No long-term anything aside from a work friendship that hadn't crossed into that territory at all.
These are my FAVORITE episodes! With you and Lauren ❤
Whatttt clearly you girls don't have a family and children to actually understand how bad that women was hurt . He essentially ruined their family. I'd 💯 agree with her. He should have never even said anything
I'm in an 8 year relationship. If it ended, I would be losing my best friend. Don't ever string someone along if you respect them
The story about bananas made me tear up omg
As someone going through the process of getting a diagnosis for autism and someone with ARFID I'm sooooooo grateful for how you guys handled it
Yay Lauren!!
Love when you guys are together. 💛
Two peas in a pod.
That pun is perfect!
Oh man, I'm too early LMAO
about the 3-some reddit post
I completely understand where the wife was coming from, people are entitled to their boundaries and i feel like I personally would be so offended if my boyfriend asked me for a threesome let alone my husband that I share 3 kids with. I would immediately feel shattered, unloved and not good enough. My mind would plague and spiral questioning myself and if i did something to make his eyes wonder, if this is my fault, i would feel destroyed as a person but also as a partner. I'm confident after a question like this especially while laying with my partner after sex during aftercare (cuddling and having a sweet moment after sex) my self confidence would be shattered. Wondering if me alone in the bedroom does not satisfy him anymore. I don't blame her for immediately wanting a divorce HOWEVER if ever put in her shoes (which i fucking hope not) I would personally lose my shit and make it blatantly clear that this is something THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN and let alone him asking has ruined things for me already.
I'm not in that position so to be honest i don't know how i'd react if my husband was immediately apologetic and was willing to do anything to fix the hurt he's caused by even asking all i know is i don't think or believe it would be easy for me as his woman to feel secure and loved solely and only by him again.
Reading the husbands side of the story broke my heart. I definitely wish they communicated things, maybe could've found a way to fix the hurt and work around it and even if not regardless the sabotage of going along with the 3some from the wife's part just makes me feel like she needed some sort of motivation to actually have the strength to leave him for what he said and his words alone weren't enough but i'm sure watching him actively participate in intercourse with another female definitely settled it for her - that kind of heartbreak seeing your partner in pleasure from someone else is unforgivable to those not willing to share their personal and sexual relationship. (which is completely understandable)
agree and apparently there was more to the story that made the dude look pretty bad
1000% agree! There is a time and place to ask about certain things. And the fact he didn’t start with “so my poly former coworker suddenly asked me if we ever wanted a 3/some with her. What do you think about that?” But instead he already had an answer for himself. He had already decided and then asked his wife. The fact he didn’t question her after she said yes even tho she said no at first is odd. Like he didn’t care to think about her feelings ever! Then he saw how uncomfortable she was during the activities, and blames it on her personality? And he continues to have fun with someone else? There’s so many red flags with this guy that I’m glad the wife got her closure. I wish she didn’t have to see that in person though so I hope she’s holding up.
i have sensory issues and this episode just made my teeth hurt very bad😭 i almost cried because i kept imagining everything 🧍🏼♀️
I randomly started listening to this podcast about a year ago, and now I’m hooked. It literally makes my day when I come onto TH-cam and there’s a new upload. I love THT and FKS
I KNEW IT!! With the mom, in the first video, I described my mother in the comments and how she reminds me of her playing a victim so hard and that there might be very crazy other side story !!!
that first story, i KNEW there was a second side. gonna start crying for those poor kids 🥺
I have almost the exact same issue with bananas, I'm autistic and it's definitely a sensory issue, I can't stand the taste, the smell, the texture, anything. It made me feel so happy and understood that you guys didn't rag on or judge the guy when sensory issues are something you can't help and have no control over and took the time to discuss sensory issues as well, thank you :)
That update reminds me of my own mother so much it hurts 😂 she just announced her 8th pregnancy but is 1000% this mom. She had a stroke due to drugs after baby #7, miraculously survived - got a second chance and threw it away to drugs a second time. She still steals and posts pictures of us as if she raised us knowing I raised my siblings for her a majority of the time. After going no contact(she slept with her cousin so my step dad divorced her finally) she brought, I swear to god, a Nintendo switch to my little brothers school and they had to call the police on her because she wouldn’t leave and even tried to check him out of school but she was on the do not release list. Listening to this I can’t believe there’s other people out there like her. I’m so sorry you’re going through this op, you’re a stronger more amazing woman for handling it the way you have ❤ it’s a lot of pain right now but you can and will use it to do amazing things.
Omg wow, i hope your able to heal from the emotional damage her actions must’ve done to you and have much success coming you way.
The banana story really hit hard for me. Hearing Morgan talk about the children she has seen with these issues really opened my eyes. I won't go into it but this podcast is the first time seeing that I'm not alone with having the disorder. I was always told I would grow out of it, but now I am an adult and it still affects me every day of my life. No one has ever understood how I feel but it felt so nice seeing you treat the issue with compassion
You are definitely not alone!! ❤️ So happy that you felt reassured by the convo.
I understood it, but the second they said “paper towels” I literally got goosebumps lol
Sensory processing disorder isn't a fear or anxiety and you are not alone! There are some that have sense reduced to the point they are at risk of burning or chilling themselves to the point of harm and some have heightened senses to the point of misophonia, taste is not an "ew" but like a mouth full of rotten garbage for something that is undesirable to others. It's valid and not a dramatic behavior. Therapy can help you learn to adapt so you can broaden your diet options, both of my sons have it as do I. We're neurodivergent and it's part of the whole umbrella/spectrum ❤️
I’m so happy we got the daughters update. My birth mom treated me in a very similar way, constantly telling me she wished I was never born, and that my brother who was miscarried should’ve survived instead of me. She would then go to other people and say that I say terrible things and she is just trying to be a loving mom, starving herself to get me a birthday present (that was never actually given on my birthday) she was always made to be the victim, and I a brat. I’m so glad we got to hear the truth, I couldn’t handle hearing everyone supporting that mother from last episode.
You can hear the Minnesota accent so much when you guys say gagging or dragging 😂
I completely agree about the bananas. I have very bad food sensory issues. I need the perfect nanner to eat, but I also throw up/gag when I smell certain things or taste something I don’t expect to be in a dish. She was so mean about it!
in the situation with the threesome, i feel like she had been looking for a reason to divorce him because i get shutting down for a few days over the suggestion but then to willfully never communicate those feelings and go out of your way to make everything seem fine while talking to a divorce lawyer behind his back, you can’t just brush that under the excuse of “i can’t help the way i feel about what he said”. NO, you CANNOT control that you feel that way, but what you do have control over is what you do with those feelings and what she did was vindictive. she formed a revenge plot in a situation where the person receiving the revenge had no clue there was any wrong doing on their part. like what the fuck.
She was petty and childish. Now that you mention it I didn’t even think about her possibly wanting a reason for divorce but it makes sense. I thought she was just believing a fake scenario in her mind and convinced herself that him simply asking was already cheating to her.
There was more context about their relationship that was not in this video.
The wife had just had a baby 8 months ago and was still in her postpartum phase. Still probably quite emotional, insecure about her body etc, and then to have that brought up after having sex could’ve been so damaging. Some of her comments had mentions of seeking advice on how to cover up her postpartum belly as she was insecure about it, it’s also the reason why she never took off her nightgown. She then also left the room during the threesome and he continued having sex with the other woman.
He’s also been talking to the other woman for the past 6 months. Telling her how sexy she is and everything, things he doesn’t say to his wife. Their youngest is 8 months…
I don’t think it’s super farfetched to consider a divorce at the mere mention of a threesome in a monogamous relationship if neither party has ever expressed interest before.
@@ashleykatebell omg that adds so much more to this story. And I seriously can't believe he didn't fo after his wife.
Even without the added context, I think Morgan and Lauren don’t understand how much our bodies change after bearing children. It will never be what it was before, it’s a different level of vulnerability and the last thing a wife needs is for her husband to openly tell her he wants to bang another chick. Also, it’s appalling to me that everyone criticises the OP to communicate when the husband could tell his wife was withdrawn and didn’t bother to communicate with her either.
Absolutely agree
Can confirm being pregnant is hard. But even on the worst day I could go outside and eat a banana because I don't hate my husband.
Na I disagree on the last one. If someone asks you for something that you'd never think they'd even want or think about it is a mind fvck, like do I even know this person. The fact that it was so casually asked would just make me think hes beeeeen into that stuff and it's normal for him. Where as I know id never want a third person to be involved in my relationship in any capacity. She's allowed to want to end the relationship if she feels he's not who she thought he was. Actually going thru w. The 3 some is weird but I don't think she was wrong to want to leave even if it was just him inquiring.
I felt the first story was off originally, but didn’t wanna seem like an ass going against a mom cuz I know being a mom is hard. Trust your gut yall!
I mean, only older people use the "dinosaur" thing as an insult. Never heard a kid do that.
I felt the same exact same way… that story felt so off.
moms aren't some mystical goddess creatures that deserve a pedestal. they're just people who got pregnant. being a mom is hard? don't become one.
@@boneenthusiast2052
Dont be so cold. Being a parent is fucking hard, and they deserve recognition for being good parents. They also deserve a break once in a fucking while. Theres a long way between just a normal parent trying to do their best, and the abusive shit stain of a mother from that story.
@@boneenthusiast2052 calm down being a parent is not an easy job
tbh for story 4
I'd do the same thing.
If my bf brought it up ever I'd have to end it. I couldn't bare with the thought of my bf having sex with another or the guilt I'd feel if I had sex with anyone who wasn't him.
Luckily I've had this conversation with him and he was the first to say he'd never want to do it, 😵💫
Agreed!
Also having a convo about a threesome with another girl and not shutting the conversation down immediately is cheating to me. Like if a girl was like hey let's have sex and my boyfriend was like sure let me clear it with my girlfriend everyone would see it as cheating.
I understand not wanting to do it, or even being repulsed by the idea. but to divorce your husband and father of your kids for mentioning it once and never again and playing that whole game is so toxic and she clearly didn't love him to begin with
@@Skylar._.broadband I think it's the fact that he even thought about it, especially if he specifically me mentioned a ffm.
in her perspective that's just him wanting to have sex with another woman but with the wife's consent. In my eyes, that isn't toxic that's a deal breaker. Which is why stuff like this should always be discussed im the beginning
Especially when he even said he was not attentive towards her during it?!?
First story:
That makes so much more sense. When it was read from mom's pov it sounded too much like my husband's mom when she plays her victim game.
My dad did the same w me, wasnt my birth father but loved me like his own…. I love the fact that there’s such amazing men out there ❤
It's so satisfying to read the follow up to that second story.
The original 100% gave weird vibes. Like Lauren said she was too much of a 'perfect' victim right down to the little detail about how she claimed she starved herself to get those switches plus the "everyone laughed" part kinda read like that old "and everyone clapped" tumblr meme.
was just catching up on my two hot takes and as soon as my last episode ends this gets uploaded! absolutely stoked lollll
I’m so happy there was an update for story one! I remember listening to it and commenting that I felt there was something off with the mom. Just the way she told the story didn’t sit right with me and it felt like we were missing a lot of information.
For the threesome one… I completely understand her feelings. I am also so extremely monogamous and my husband asking for a threesome only tells me he dreams of other women and needs a another woman to “spice things up” and that would crush me too.
The banana story hits extra hard since I also have massive sensor issues since I'm on the spectrum(some know it as asperger syndrome). I hate hair when it's not on a head or wig. It makes me feel all gross if I see it, like sometimes I wanna throw up sometimes. My roommates leave their hair in the shower and I can't use it, and I've asked nicely fir them to clean it up after a shower but they still don't which makes it hard to get clean and i worry what they say if told them why i want they to clean up after a shower. If they made me clean it up I'd puke and can't imagine why you'd do that to someone. I don't have many food sensory issues but I'm not going to judge someone for it, especially not force it on someone
It's not even a matter of your issues, it's fucking basic hygiene. You just don't leave your hair in the shower. That's like, living with roomates 101.
Oh my God I have the same thing about hair too! Even if it's my own hair, I don't like touching it, like when I have to clean it off my comb or something. Let alone other people's hair? Literally gag worthy. One time I found a clump of lint and hair in my own hair, no idea how I got there, and it made me so sick I wanted to vomit. Coincidentally, I recently discovered I'm probably autistic as well, so that might have something to do with it.
Literally my fave pod dropped when I needed it most. Best thing to listen to at work
Story 2. I was mad at him even before getting to the other side of the story. I can't get over how many people see that they have a great relationship and that they have a crush on someone else, but they keep engaging in things that stoke the fires with that second person and can't figure out why things are getting worse rather than better. If you truly want to save your relationship, start distancing yourself hard from the new person. I have no patience for people who keep indulging their desire for another person and then going "man, I can't figure out why these feelings I'm encouraging won't just go away. Maybe it's just meant to be."
Story 2 makes me so sad but the Fiancee outlook is so encouraging what a sweet woman.
loved this episode. I may be in the minority on the 4th story regarding the threesome. Personally I think everyone sucks in that situation. I don’t think wanting a divorce was a leap or an overreaction as it could have opened up insecurities for her and depending on the person, it’s not always viewed the same as asking for a different type of kink that would only involve the two of them. I do not agree with how she dealt with it or the fact that she didn’t communicate with her partner. Also the husband noticing his wife not really engaging or enjoying the threesome should have addressed that imo.
I only feel bad for their kids.
Anyway thanks for an awesome podcast as always 🖤
My personal issue with it is the kids. She basically catalyzed the divorce by not being willing to communicate and while I’m fine with her making that decision for herself, I think what she’s doing is completely altering other people’s lives over something that likely could’ve been mutually sorted out with communication or couple’s counseling 😅 but on the other hand I’m not for keeping people in marriages they don’t want to be in, it’s just my own experience having divorced parents who didn’t get along at all making me think she made a decision that unnecessarily changed her kids lives 😅
Completely agreed. They way she went about it made me wonder if she wanted this to end regardless. She was way too quick to end it and would rather test her husband than talk to him about her concerns. He definitely made a few mistakes here; I just think she even tried to help it.
Also, it was disrespectful to her husband and marriage to not even attempt to talk to him about the issue. Even if her mind was still on divorce. What she decided to do instead was gross. Both seem a bit self-centered.
I have ADHD and I have auditory sensory issues. Not the same with eating, but when I hear chewing or pen clicks I involuntarily start reacting to the sounds: my chest gets tight, my eyes water, and I get a sharp pain in my gut. I genuinely wish I could get rid of it and I have sat and tried to immerse myself in the sounds, but I can’t stop it. It’s so cruel to say you love someone and then do the thing that you know hurts them.
Wow. I heard the first story, but the second story made me realize that mom is identical to my own. I have never understood someone else’s pain like I’ve felt those kids. I hope they’re able to heal 💙
I’ve watched my mom play the victim card with almost everyone in my life, it’s a shame that people don’t always get to see both sides of the story
For the threesome one I agree with her but not the way she went about it, he entertained the idea, he entertained that woman, the fact another woman felt comfortable to even ask him that, I’d end our relationship right from his question.
Period
@@marjouarjojo8185 yea like it’s one thing to ask if your partner would be interested in a threesome, but then to also have another woman already lined up, she should have ended it right there
These videos are the only thing that have been getting me through my breakup and my h pylori 💕 I love you guys
Sending some love your way!! they didn't deserve ya
Wowww, to get the other side of this story is unreal and unexpected. 😮 (1st story.)
I was getting ready for work early in the morning not fully paying attention so I hadn’t processed that it was the other side of the story we heard awhile back, I caught on when the two switches were mentioned and I was flooorreeedddi audibly gasped lol
please do more of these every story has 2 sides episodes!! it puts things into perspective so much
