@@TheMarizzca That’s how lie detector tests work. When you get caught in a stressful situation a lie causes your shit to spike, heart rate and all that. That’s why they’re no longer admissible in court but are still fun.
@@TheMarizzca Also, to note, the lie detector guy they hired usually twist the interpretation of the polygraph results so it fits the content better. So it’s possible that he really doesn’t believe that’s the case and the lie detector guy just thought it would make for better reactions; maybe he was instructed to do so or just do it so that he’ll get hired more.
Prime overcompensation moment was that cringe scene where he took off the ring and started making those bizarre noises pretending it makes him uncomfortable not to wear it.
i hope ariel’s doing okay. being dragged into the internet spotlight by a popular partner just for said partner’s illicit affair with an employee to be become what they’re known for is just. that sucks. i hope she’s happy and healing.
@@DirePaige Sadly most women do this, she could easily find a man that wouldn't cheat on her but here we are. Pressures on women to stay in relationships like this are insane.

The most interesting thing about the lie detector episodes: polygraph tests don't actually tell if you're lying. They track multiple measures of stress that show up in most humans. Some people *can't* take polygraphs because, for physiological reasons, they're useless (people with heartrates that vary wildly, people with naturally high anxiety, etc). Ned having a reaction to the "do you think you have a better marriage than Keith" may not even be about his response to the question. Instead, it's a physiological response to a question getting close to the GIANT SECRET he's hiding.
huh, I always wondered about this because I feel like being nervous dosent make someone a liar so I didnt think polygraphs were fair, I'd probably fail any polygraph because I have anxiety lol, I'm always nervous. And also liars can be super calm and collected, depends on the person. And just like you said someone might get nervous while deciding whether to lie or not, and not pass even if they decide to tell the truth.
Very true. E.g. worrying about how other people might react to your answer could produce the same kind of response as worrying about lying would. It's a stress detector, not a lie detector.
Thankfully they aren’t admissible as solid evidence in court. It can be brought up if the judge allows but it is not allowed to be expressed as solid evidence of lying or guilt. I once took one for a school demonstration thing we each got to do and try to trick the test and I was so anxious it said I lied about my actual name, twice. So all my results were that I was lying lol. Dude commented at one point my heart rate got up to 130bpm (my normal is about 105, which he was also surprised by)
i always wondered why was this guy so obsessed with his wife, turns out it was just the guilt of cheating on her that made him talk so much about ariel.
You have to wonder if it’s a tactic to make him look like a really good husband, so that if Ariel wanted to tell people that he cheated on her, she wouldn’t be believed…..
Its possible he actually talked this much about his wife just because he is anxiously attached. He was the wife guy before cheating on her. People who are obsessed with their partners can cheat when they dont feel as valued and anxiously attached individuals are the most likely to cheat ststistically
I'm surprised a lot of people don't include him being a drunk asshole in some of their drunk videos. That was always a red flag for me . He would actively make people uncomfortable

@@xxxx-rx7co I dont agree with her choice but sometimes it’s not that easy to leave someone, even if they’re no good for you.

@@BunnyandMoon yeah i agree with this and i pity her quite a bit, but still i regretfully say i cant bring up much sympathy for people with so little backbone. i understand its deeper but i have a hard time comprehending it yk?
I don't think physiologically we as humans can trust our partner on the same level as we did before, its has an effect on her everyday life so might effect her "love" for her partner. Shes probably just staying for the kids which is admirable. If i was in her position id probably do the same.
A lot of you are reaching. Little quotes like that don’t matter, parents say stuff like that all the time. What are we supposed to completely stop having any sort of personality or fun after kids? 😂
@@Welp503that’s why the video is titled “aged badly” instead of “documented proof of intent to commit adultery.” It sounds bad watching back over it now knowing what will happen, it’s not an indictment
"Aw, that's a bummer. You can't go for a little bit?" Is such a disgusting and annoying thing to say when she's already been clearly turned down by someone because people who say shit like this try to lure you in for "one drink" but plan to keep you trapped there because they know it's hard to say no once you've had a drink cause then you'd be the party pooper and no one likes to be the one to spoil the fun in a group.
@Imjusthere1222 No. She is literally talking about Post Malone. She tried to get him to go out drinking while his gf was pregnant. He turned it down and tried to be nice about it. As you can see she's retelling it because she's reading a lot into the interaction and is obviously proud that he called her baby and apparently said "I'm gonna get into so much trouble". Implication is that he really wants to hang with her but he had to be "on his best behavior" because the boring gf is totally dragging him down.
Talking about having a third child while actively cheating on you wife and talking about the theme of your wedding to your fiance, both while actively cheating on them is WILD beyong my comprehension. Is there another explanation other than being an absolute shit of a person?
My least favorite try guy used to be Zach (yes I liked Ned over Zach 💀) but having seen the channel over the last year I love what Zach brings to the table in energy, direction, and humor. I probably didn’t like Zach while his creative expression was stifled.
This happens sooo often, women dating way below their league and the guy who she's with knows it, and for whatever reasons, maybe feelings of inferiority, he goes behind her back to break the rules while playing nice guy wife guy to everyone else. I swear these types of cowards find PLEASURE in being deceptive because they have no balls to be commanding in anyway upfront, they feel their need to get back and get control in the most cowardly way possible.
These kinds of cowards know they are cowards and are ashamed of it, but still choose the most cowardly way to overcome their shame. They deceptively use other people as mediums to express their frustration and not face the consequences of desires or the consequences of going for what they want.
It makes me so sad that his persona was SO DEVOTED to his wife and it was such an inspiration but finding out it was just that -- a persona -- was so shattering. I feel horrendous for Ariel. I cant imagine being constantly validated in my partners love and admiration and publicly being the center of my partners world only to then find out they are cheating.
it was the "BeHOLDen! i DON'T KnOw that store but i love THIS specific direction, tHAnk YoU alexanDRIA!" for me 🙄 my first instinct is reading the name of the store as each individual letters and the fact that he said it so knowingly is so messed up. he's not a good actor -.- this is pure speculation but genuinely don't know how ariel supposedly didn't know. i feel like she might've at least had a feeling
The boys did seem very genuinely shocked and disappointed when the news came out. Ex-Buzzfeeds have said that they knew Ned was shady, and the boys could have known, but I feel like Ned hid the fact it was Alexandria quite well
I think that people want to think the best of others. Especially if you’re married to them. Maybe she did see signs, but a lot of people would go “there’s no way he would do that, right? Not my husband. He wouldn’t do something like that to me. I’m sure there’s a normal explanation.”
Somehow, after years and years of watching the Try Guys it was so easy to let go of Ned. It’s so weird seeing him in these clips now, especially knowing that he literally sacrificed his friends’ livelihoods to engage in this affair. They literally just had their comeback and everything. Eugene, Keith, and Zach, I still wish the best for you. Hopefully Ned can still learn to be a good father to his son.
Of course he thought his marriage was better than everyone else’s. He got fame for being the “perfect husband” and he did whatever he wanted behind the scenes. I’m glad that the internet mainly focused their energy on him and supporting Ariel, but it is clear that Alex had no remorse for trashing her 10+ year relationship to sleep with her boss. I’m not saying anything personal about her, I think there was obviously a power imbalance, but based on her actions and reactions, she didn’t feel any guilt for her behavior that contributed to all of this. Especially since her ex-fiancé messaged Ned to back off after finding proof of them hooking up on a work retreat
I just could never think of Alex simply as an innocent victim. At 2:47 you just see Keith cringing massively as soon as she opens her mouth to tell the story. That speaks a bit about her character too.
@@Girl95szia yeah I don’t think anyone does. She’s an adult and made the choice. Whether he coerced her or what idk but she was in a relationship for SO long and already got caught and kept going. She had so many opportunities to stop what was happening and chose to keep having her cake and eating it too.
@@lemin3625 as far as this relationship goes (from what I’ve heard), there was no coercion. While there was a power imbalance it was still as close to entirely consensual as possible. If she was coerced this would be a different story as coerced consent isn’t consent, it’s assault. It’s not “whether he coerced her or not”, I get what you’re meaning but it more just shows that it wasn’t coerced because she had options to stop without suffering too many personal consequences but decided not to.
seeing ned in try guys videos feels so wrong now after all this time - it feels like a mandela effect that he was ever there at all. like when people think there should be an extra scooby gang character but the opposite.
Of course I’m not involved in this marriage and I don’t have any kind of relationship with Ariel but I am so disappointed that she chose/decided to stay with him. It wasn’t even the cheating; it’s how PUBLIC this was. He embarrassed her so much which is telling how little he considers her and how selfish he is…. It’s been almost two years and I’m still not over this.
I feel ya. I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes but based on how bad it looks to the public I can’t imagine what complicated feelings Ariel must be feeling that are making her stay, and she just deserves so much better.
She’s probably doing it for the children, but the true problem is when those kids grow up and find this whole scandal and learn of their father’s betrayal. A divorce is a messy and costly process too.
I won't defend or stand by cheaters but like what WAS the plan had they not been caught? Like i can understand a sexual affair type of thing but one was married and she was to be married.. how.. why.. and how cruel is it to be actively cheating right up till the wedding day?! Im soo glad they got found out because she was absolutely going to ruin that poor man's life exchanging vows with that. Heartless charlatan
The biggest red flag for me was that valentines video where he made a gift for Ariel that solely centered on the kids. Like why not make a gift for her? Why is her identity to him suddenly only “mother?” Because that’s all she actually was to him at that point.
Thank you for being honest. I feel like everyone pretends they always hated Ned from day one, and that’s just ridiculous. If they really hated him that much, they wouldn’t have watched Try Guys videos in the first place.
You are not wrong to think that it’s unusual. It is not widely used and it can be considered kind of cheesy depending on the context. People say it to convey the shared responsibility of pregnancy, instead of putting it all on the woman. I think most people say “we’re expecting.” But I don’t have exact data on the numbers 😂
It's true you might get hurt a few times since you might learn what matters to you in a relationship as you go, but if you iron out what's important to you and find someone with the same values who is compatible with you and generally shares your outlook on life you can be very happy for many years :) It takes effort, but if both you and your partner are willing to put in the work, you can maintain a happy relationship And if you do get hurt along the way, you will move on
I spoke with a psychologist about men with big egos (mind you, this was about men. We didn't talk about women). Ned went to Yale, has a degree in chemistry, worked in a chemistry lab, worked at a renewable energy lab, became a very large figure at Buzzfeed who claimed to have cast several large talents, became a star on the Try Guys. had a "picturesque" wife and family. Ned had a BIG ego. Men with BIG egos need to constantly have their egos fed. If they don't have them fed, then they can often turn to infidelity to feed their MASSIVE egos because they aren't being satisfied at home. Ned perfectly fits the description of someone who couldn't be satisfied, so he had to go get his ego served elsewhere. It was never going to be enough for him.
I appreciate the interaction vibes on hindsight, like the guys (z,k,e) appear to know or at least suspect but they kept the banter within a level where you may notice but as a casual veiwer you wouldnt be like "hes a total asshat"
Ned's Squidward-esque laugh hurts to hear now because we now know what he hid behind that nervous laughter. And him almost doubting every answer in the lie detector test should have been very suspicious at that point in time.
i love that all of these clips are like "So Ned i hear you love your wife?" Ned: "yea i love my wife!" Brooding narrator chimes in: "Ned, in fact, did not love his wife"
I now feel bad for every time I compared my dad to Ned (they have the same nose, the same hair, just the same face in general, they’re both suburban white dads and they kinda move and talk the same) because my dad is legitimately really devoted to my stepmom (no cheating took place!!!)
1:20 why does he give her some like weird flirty subliminal messages through the camera.. the confidence.. 🤣 he was really convinced they would never be caught huh lmao
cannot imagine the feeling of taking a lie detector test on camera while actively having an affair with your employee
Wish I could have seen their conversations about planning that video. Like how might he have tried to get out of it “subtly” lol
The fact that anxiety didn’t make him shit himself really tells me he didn’t think for one second he’d get caught.
the guy behind that machine is basically just an actor influencers get for videos. you tell him what response you want him to give to your answers.
The lie detector test made me laugh 😂
With his weird self, he probably liked the feeling.
I can't believe he said he had a better marriage than Keith while having an affair
And he believed it!
I think the nerves he felt while answering that question were misinterpreted as him being caught lying
i don't think he was having the affair yet during that video? idek

Like most folks I didn’t know much about her or her role in all of it but now can confidently say she fuckin sucks as a person.
Yeah, apparently stealing pregnant women's partners is her thing
yep
literally such an insane thing for her to say? like WHAT. why is she proud of it?
Exactly! That made my skin crawl it’s so gross 🤢
in retrospect, ned instantly knowing how to pronounce “bhldn” and then covering it up by saying he’s never heard of it is very sus
It’s not a difficult word to pronounce
@@wump9066 beholden isn't, but instinctively reading bhldn as beholden isn't inherently obvious.
@@guesswh4 oh then where tf was I because I thought it was literally spelled beholden
I think I watched this video while making dinner
@@wump9066 but they put "bhldn" in their comment not "beholden" how are you confused? Oh wait, you're not lmao. You're just back tracking because you're a total knob and got called out on it.
4:30 “better get used to it” 💀
that part was actually sad bc she DIDNT leave him!!! the only consequences he faced were losing the company
That’s actually so fucking scary and sociopathic. Like it’s not even that he cheated it’s that he was hiding it like this for so long. I feel awful for Ariel.
It’s always the lying and sneaking and abuse of trust.
I don't miss Ned... but I do miss Ariel on You Can Sit With Us. :/
Yes, I hope one day she will heal from getting rid of that cancer sore and come back. Much love and support to her and her kids.
@@zSpirall pretty sure theyre back together so she can stay gone
@@xxxx-rx7co I dont agree with her choice but sometimes it’s not that easy to leave someone, even if they’re no good for you. Especially if he’s the father of your children and you’ve been married for 10+ years. She probably still loves him despite this gross betrayal of her trust. We don’t know everything. Hopefully one day she’ll realize that she doesn’t need him.
@@BunnyandMoon yeah i agree with this and i pity her quite a bit, but still i regretfully say i cant bring up much sympathy for people with so little backbone. i understand its deeper but i have a hard time comprehending it yk?
I don't think physiologically we as humans can trust our partner on the same level as we did before, its has an effect on her everyday life so might effect her "love" for her partner. Shes probably just staying for the kids which is admirable. If i was in her position id probably do the same.
4:50 the way Keith immediately stopped talking and smiling as Ned says “this is the greatest day of my life” 😬😬😬😬
HELP I JUST REWATCHED THIS AND HIS SHIRT SAYS "I LOVE BAD IDEAS" WITH A FLAMING HEART PLS 😭❤🔥
A lot of you are reaching. Little quotes like that don’t matter, parents say stuff like that all the time. What are we supposed to completely stop having any sort of personality or fun after kids? 😂
@@Welp503that’s why the video is titled “aged badly” instead of “documented proof of intent to commit adultery.” It sounds bad watching back over it now knowing what will happen, it’s not an indictment
bro never heard of hyperbole
That moment at 3:07 showed how disgusting alex was too
was she naming ned or talking about a mystery boy?
"Aw, that's a bummer. You can't go for a little bit?"
Is such a disgusting and annoying thing to say when she's already been clearly turned down by someone because people who say shit like this try to lure you in for "one drink" but plan to keep you trapped there because they know it's hard to say no once you've had a drink cause then you'd be the party pooper and no one likes to be the one to spoil the fun in a group.
@@lavenderbones2628 i think she was actually talking about post malone? Could be wrong tho
@@Kaynighthoodshe was talking About going to a Post Malone concert but not about Posty
@Imjusthere1222 No. She is literally talking about Post Malone. She tried to get him to go out drinking while his gf was pregnant. He turned it down and tried to be nice about it. As you can see she's retelling it because she's reading a lot into the interaction and is obviously proud that he called her baby and apparently said "I'm gonna get into so much trouble". Implication is that he really wants to hang with her but he had to be "on his best behavior" because the boring gf is totally dragging him down.
maybe he cheated so he could have another wedding. since he loves 2 things "Weddings and lord of the rings"
Talking about having a third child while actively cheating on you wife and talking about the theme of your wedding to your fiance, both while actively cheating on them is WILD beyong my comprehension. Is there another explanation other than being an absolute shit of a person?
No idea why TH-cam recommended me this again 2 years later but slay 👍🏻💀
Ik everyone says they always hated ned but i liked him😭 def wasn’t who i thought he was
Thank you! I think some people are just saying that because they found out he did something terrible
I miss who I thought he was.
My least favorite try guy used to be Zach (yes I liked Ned over Zach 💀) but having seen the channel over the last year I love what Zach brings to the table in energy, direction, and humor. I probably didn’t like Zach while his creative expression was stifled.
yeah same about the zach thing, im a huge zach fan now hes so relatable to me now its kinda crazy i identify with him the most
I felt the same way!!
Ariel was way out of his league. And he dared to do that to her.
This happens sooo often, women dating way below their league and the guy who she's with knows it, and for whatever reasons, maybe feelings of inferiority, he goes behind her back to break the rules while playing nice guy wife guy to everyone else. I swear these types of cowards find PLEASURE in being deceptive because they have no balls to be commanding in anyway upfront, they feel their need to get back and get control in the most cowardly way possible.
These kinds of cowards know they are cowards and are ashamed of it, but still choose the most cowardly way to overcome their shame. They deceptively use other people as mediums to express their frustration and not face the consequences of desires or the consequences of going for what they want.
4:42 Somehow nothing Ned says in this compilation hits as hard as Eugene's quote here.
It makes me so sad that his persona was SO DEVOTED to his wife and it was such an inspiration but finding out it was just that -- a persona -- was so shattering. I feel horrendous for Ariel. I cant imagine being constantly validated in my partners love and admiration and publicly being the center of my partners world only to then find out they are cheating.
I completely agree. I don't think I'd ever trust anyone again after that
Alternative title: Ned actively lying and being weirdly good at it
2:27 only on the weekends is CRAZY
god do i NOT miss hearing his nasally ass voice. like you're supposed to be watching the register, squidward
"Don't trust a person who makes one thing their whole personality"
3:13 she’s foul.
1:17 immediately saying, “Idk that store” after being the only one knowing how to pronounce it is so bait 🤢
it was the "BeHOLDen! i DON'T KnOw that store but i love THIS specific direction, tHAnk YoU alexanDRIA!" for me 🙄 my first instinct is reading the name of the store as each individual letters and the fact that he said it so knowingly is so messed up. he's not a good actor -.- this is pure speculation but genuinely don't know how ariel supposedly didn't know. i feel like she might've at least had a feeling
She might have felt something was up; but unless Ned was openly really weird with Alexandria, Ariel had no way of knowing who Ned was cheating with
The boys did seem very genuinely shocked and disappointed when the news came out. Ex-Buzzfeeds have said that they knew Ned was shady, and the boys could have known, but I feel like Ned hid the fact it was Alexandria quite well
I think that people want to think the best of others. Especially if you’re married to them. Maybe she did see signs, but a lot of people would go “there’s no way he would do that, right? Not my husband. He wouldn’t do something like that to me. I’m sure there’s a normal explanation.”
God this is actually so sad to look through again... And they were so in our faces about it lowkey
Ariel was settling for him in the first place; she is stunning
"It's not a mistake, it's a choice" omg this clip reel is immaculate thanks for the peak cringe vibes lol
John knew all along.
1:44 I love how that video (the last video he was in) has so many comments about people returning to it to watch Neds suffering
Somehow, after years and years of watching the Try Guys it was so easy to let go of Ned. It’s so weird seeing him in these clips now, especially knowing that he literally sacrificed his friends’ livelihoods to engage in this affair. They literally just had their comeback and everything. Eugene, Keith, and Zach, I still wish the best for you. Hopefully Ned can still learn to be a good father to his son.
“It’s not a mistake, it’s a choice”
This is the best part lol
Alex disgusts me! You know a guy has a pregnant girlfriend and you still want them to get out of control. DISGUSTANG
Going along with planning a wedding while also having an affair with your boss is diabolical
Of course he thought his marriage was better than everyone else’s. He got fame for being the “perfect husband” and he did whatever he wanted behind the scenes. I’m glad that the internet mainly focused their energy on him and supporting Ariel, but it is clear that Alex had no remorse for trashing her 10+ year relationship to sleep with her boss. I’m not saying anything personal about her, I think there was obviously a power imbalance, but based on her actions and reactions, she didn’t feel any guilt for her behavior that contributed to all of this. Especially since her ex-fiancé messaged Ned to back off after finding proof of them hooking up on a work retreat
I just could never think of Alex simply as an innocent victim. At 2:47 you just see Keith cringing massively as soon as she opens her mouth to tell the story. That speaks a bit about her character too.
@@Girl95szia yeah I don’t think anyone does. She’s an adult and made the choice. Whether he coerced her or what idk but she was in a relationship for SO long and already got caught and kept going. She had so many opportunities to stop what was happening and chose to keep having her cake and eating it too.
@@lemin3625 as far as this relationship goes (from what I’ve heard), there was no coercion. While there was a power imbalance it was still as close to entirely consensual as possible. If she was coerced this would be a different story as coerced consent isn’t consent, it’s assault. It’s not “whether he coerced her or not”, I get what you’re meaning but it more just shows that it wasn’t coerced because she had options to stop without suffering too many personal consequences but decided not to.
It's ok for you to say she's also a sleeze ball.
Fr right @@VorpalSnickerSnack
Not the “I think they are strengthened by the love of a baby now” 😂
seeing ned in try guys videos feels so wrong now after all this time - it feels like a mandela effect that he was ever there at all. like when people think there should be an extra scooby gang character but the opposite.
Her talking about them being in New York and he’s like “I’ll be in trouble” while she’s like “not even a little bit?🥺” noooo.
Dear Wes and Finn, don't become like your father, Ned. Don't cheat ever.
the ned fulmer downfall was not on my 2022 bingo card
Of course I’m not involved in this marriage and I don’t have any kind of relationship with Ariel but I am so disappointed that she chose/decided to stay with him. It wasn’t even the cheating; it’s how PUBLIC this was. He embarrassed her so much which is telling how little he considers her and how selfish he is….
It’s been almost two years and I’m still not over this.
I feel ya. I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes but based on how bad it looks to the public I can’t imagine what complicated feelings Ariel must be feeling that are making her stay, and she just deserves so much better.
She’s probably doing it for the children, but the true problem is when those kids grow up and find this whole scandal and learn of their father’s betrayal. A divorce is a messy and costly process too.
They've been together for so long I feel like there's some emotional manipulation going on
white women always stay, i knew she would LMAO
I won't defend or stand by cheaters but like what WAS the plan had they not been caught? Like i can understand a sexual affair type of thing but one was married and she was to be married.. how.. why.. and how cruel is it to be actively cheating right up till the wedding day?! Im soo glad they got found out because she was absolutely going to ruin that poor man's life exchanging vows with that. Heartless charlatan
4:28 “better get used to it” IM DEAD LMAO
Ughhh alexandria and the post malone story says enough about her awful character🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮wouldnt surprise me if she's the one who initiated all of this
He has the voice of a muppet
2:48 not Keith actively hating on Alex lol
why does he have to sound like Squidward whenever he laughs 😭
Believing you have a better marriage while actively cheating is insane, truly the scumbag of all time.
The biggest red flag for me was that valentines video where he made a gift for Ariel that solely centered on the kids. Like why not make a gift for her? Why is her identity to him suddenly only “mother?” Because that’s all she actually was to him at that point.
He "loves" Lord of the Rings but didn't learn how to not cheat.
To be fair, I wonder if he thinks he has a better marriage because Ariel wouldn’t leave him
He was my favorite Try Guy because I aspired to be like him… not anymore
be what he advertised but couldn't be (?)
@@marcosgpaya1018yup
Thank you for being honest. I feel like everyone pretends they always hated Ned from day one, and that’s just ridiculous. If they really hated him that much, they wouldn’t have watched Try Guys videos in the first place.
@@marcosgpaya1018 Exactly. Loyal husband, good friend. So disappointed he turned to be neither of those things.
@@bondfool exactly!
"It's not a mistake, it's a choice" Has someone yelled that at him yet?
OH MY GOD- having your affair partner be in the video of you describing your wedding is crazy
You can tell Eugene has BEEN over the whole wife guy thing @ 2:39 LMFAO “Ned’s married AS FUCK.” 😂
“couples break up for a week” being flashed across screen for a split second was the funniest shit i’ve ever seen
This was TOO funny. Amazing work gathering those clips!! And loved the commentary :)
thank you so much!!!
how do you have an affair with the human embodiment of charisma-less squidward
JMO but loving your wife shouldn’t be some noble or amazing act.
Totally agree. It’s actually the bare minimum for people who should be married at all
0:13 I'm not a native English speaker but I don't think you say that you and your wife are pregnant Ned🤨
people in america often say “we” are pregnant. cause they both are needed for pregnancy to happen lol its a little odd
@@sydneysmith5899 interesting 🤔 thanks for the info
You are not wrong to think that it’s unusual. It is not widely used and it can be considered kind of cheesy depending on the context. People say it to convey the shared responsibility of pregnancy, instead of putting it all on the woman. I think most people say “we’re expecting.” But I don’t have exact data on the numbers 😂
it's an used phrase
@@kazakukog "a used phrase" not "an used phrase"
This only showed me to continue to be terrified of relationships. It doesn’t matter how well they treat you, they’ll still hurt you.
Aw don't think like that, I hope you find your one and only
It's true you might get hurt a few times since you might learn what matters to you in a relationship as you go, but if you iron out what's important to you and find someone with the same values who is compatible with you and generally shares your outlook on life you can be very happy for many years :)
It takes effort, but if both you and your partner are willing to put in the work, you can maintain a happy relationship
And if you do get hurt along the way, you will move on
I just checked Instagram and I saw that Alexandria follows Ariel but Ariel doesn't follow her back.
I spoke with a psychologist about men with big egos (mind you, this was about men. We didn't talk about women).
Ned went to Yale, has a degree in chemistry, worked in a chemistry lab, worked at a renewable energy lab, became a very large figure at Buzzfeed who claimed to have cast several large talents, became a star on the Try Guys. had a "picturesque" wife and family. Ned had a BIG ego. Men with BIG egos need to constantly have their egos fed. If they don't have them fed, then they can often turn to infidelity to feed their MASSIVE egos because they aren't being satisfied at home. Ned perfectly fits the description of someone who couldn't be satisfied, so he had to go get his ego served elsewhere. It was never going to be enough for him.
I appreciate the interaction vibes on hindsight, like the guys (z,k,e) appear to know or at least suspect but they kept the banter within a level where you may notice but as a casual veiwer you wouldnt be like "hes a total asshat"
Ned's Squidward-esque laugh hurts to hear now because we now know what he hid behind that nervous laughter. And him almost doubting every answer in the lie detector test should have been very suspicious at that point in time.
They looked so young 😭 Keith and Zach glowed up so well! Eugene has always looked similar and good
this is ABSOLUTELY what I have been craving. Thanks!
"Its not a mistake, its a choice" is CRAZY
Saying "my wife" instead of a woman's name is a narcissist red flag to me.
i love that all of these clips are like "So Ned i hear you love your wife?" Ned: "yea i love my wife!" Brooding narrator chimes in: "Ned, in fact, did not love his wife"
Surprised Ned even got play at all considering he’s so annoying to listen to
I now feel bad for every time I compared my dad to Ned (they have the same nose, the same hair, just the same face in general, they’re both suburban white dads and they kinda move and talk the same) because my dad is legitimately really devoted to my stepmom (no cheating took place!!!)
“it’s not a mistake, it’s a choice” 😭😭😭 so ironic
1:20 why does he give her some like weird flirty subliminal messages through the camera.. the confidence.. 🤣 he was really convinced they would never be caught huh lmao
"sometimes we go do our own thing" AS IN OTHER PEOPLE NED??
The “I love weddings and lord of the rings” IS SO FUNNY FOR NO REASON
