Girlfriend Dumped Me When I Refused To Have Her Name As A Tattoo On Me r/Relationships

[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some

[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_01]: more Reddit Stories and if you do love a Reddit story why not consider hitting that like, subscribe,

[00:00:13] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe that notification bell too and let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys. Now

[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_01]: today's first story comes from materialTow8051 from the Am I Wrong subreddit and says

[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_01]: ex-girlfriend who broke up with me because I won't have a tattoo of her name

[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_01]: once to reconcile after two years. Am I wrong for telling her to fuck off?

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We dated for two years, she loved tattoos and maybe had six tattoos when we were dating.

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_01]: To be honest, I never liked tattoos but I don't judge people for having it. Once we had an argument

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_01]: on a topic that she had a tattoo right over a vagina written as James' property, James is my

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_01]: She said she had this done for me. I appreciated her but I also told her it wasn't necessary.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That's wild, I told her that she doesn't need to show her love by marking her body and I love her

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_01]: for being herself. She took it offensively and started arguing with me saying I don't love

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_01]: her and I don't appreciate her efforts for our relationship. We had an argument but was able

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_01]: to solve it and pass through it. Then she asked me to have a tattoo of her name in my neck

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_01]: as her birthday present. She knew that I absolutely hate tattoos and I do participate in blood donation

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_01]: events so it's a big no from me. I told her she can ask anything but I won't have any tattoo.

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: She again started to argue with me but I was firm with my decision. Then she lost it, called

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: me names, shouted at me and accused me for using her. I couldn't believe what I was

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_01]: hearing from her at that moment. I realized our relationship was getting toxic. I wanted to

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_01]: end it but wanted to give it another go because I loved her. To my surprise she broke up with me

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_01]: saying she can't be with someone who doesn't love her. Before I could do anything I found

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_01]: myself blocked in every social media. Two years passed since then and I'm in a lot better

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: position right now. I'm doing really well and I'm earning a fair income too. I gained new

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: hobbies, I met new people and became friends with them. But last night I got plenty of messages from

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: my ex asking how I was. I wasn't expecting this because I almost forgot that she existed

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: because of the way we parted ways but I didn't reply to any of them. At midnight I get a bunch

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: of calls from her but didn't pick up any of them. In the early morning she again called me

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and was sending me messages continuously. Finally I picked her call and she said we need to

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_01]: talk. I told her what and she immediately said she made a huge mistake by breaking up with me.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: That she misses me and she wants me back. She also said she won't force me for anything again

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and will try to remove those tattoos if I want. I was listening to her but for some reason

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't feel anything. This may be because my life became more beautiful without her in

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_01]: these two years and I don't want to sacrifice it. I just said fuck off and never tried to

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_01]: contact me again. Then I blocked her. I don't know what I did was right or wrong but I shared

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: it with some of my friends today. Some of them said I did the right thing, some of them said

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I was extra cruel on her for saying it because she was trying to get a chance to fix our

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: broken relationship. Am I wrong? That is wild. Just having that tattoo out of nowhere and coming

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: up to you. A girlfriend ever came up to me and did the same thing and just said look

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I've done this for you. I'll be like what the fuck. You know your body your choice and all

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_01]: that but holy moly. And then demanding me to do the same getting a tattoo across your neck of their

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_01]: name. Hell no. Me and this one just fair play for realising you're in a toxic relationship and

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: being done with it. You know move on. Two years later she comes back to you. And I know this is

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: like a wild reach here but it just felt to me like maybe she just couldn't find anyone else.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: She's kind of permanently in quotes here got James across her vagina. Obviously I know she

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_01]: can get it removed but that's gonna stink. But little rude girl says you're not wrong.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Sounds like she just threw out a bunch of how she missed you and won't make you do this or that but

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_01]: never truly apologise for her emotional immaturity. You've already created a new chapter in your

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: life just keep moving forward. High sandwich says mate you did the right thing. Your life

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: has peace and happiness in it. She sounds so toxic even Monty Burns would feel guilty about

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_01]: dumping her in a lake. You moved on and by the sounds of it it's a million miles from where you

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_01]: used to be. Stay happy and find someone that compliments you in your life. Grand Wrangler says

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll never be wrong for standing your ground and prioritising your happiness and values.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: If you feel that reconciling with her could potentially bring back toxicity into your life

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_01]: then it might not be the right move. Your life is better without her. Why risk everything?

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You just did what you think is right for you. Rocket says you didn't have a relationship to fix.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_01]: She didn't make a mistake that lasted two years. A week would have been a mistake.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_01]: She disappeared on you for two years and did who knows what or who. She probably realised how

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_01]: well you treated her. You maybe could have told her to take a hike a little more politely.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_01]: So OP comes in with an update and says a little update. First of all I'd really like

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: to thank you all for the support you guys have shown. To be honest I wasn't expecting this

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_01]: but it still means a lot to me. I got an update on my current situation which I'd like to share.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Almost every one of you guys told me to block her, which I already did, and move on. I was

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_01]: determined to move out but my ex seems like she had other plans. Since I blocked her contact

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_01]: number she started to spam call me. Every time I blocked her number I'd get another call from

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: a new number and it was my ex asking me to meet her once and she wants to see me desperately.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Bullshit. I wanted to change my number but it's hard because my job requires a healthy communication

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: with my co-workers and they always contact me on this number. I was getting spam calls from her but

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: later I started to get spam messages from her friends saying to man up and meet up with her.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: They said she's badly hurt by my actions and she still loves me a lot.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_01]: They also said my ex didn't date anyone in the past two years and was celibate because

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: she was working on herself to be a better person for me. Another bullshit.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: They said many more things but I just blocked them without replying.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Then I started to get spam calls from them too. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I picked up a few calls and they were absolutely furious on me, badmouthing me,

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_01]: cursing me, calling me names, calling me I'm not a man and saying that they will find a

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: better person for my ex than me. I'm a piece of crap and I don't deserve my ex at all.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Blah blah blah. I just laughed loudly which maybe made them more furious.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I just told them I noted their contact numbers and now I'm going to take legal help.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: To my surprise they're calling stopped immediately and since none of them have called me once.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Cowards.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Now here I did something which will make you guys angry. I met with my ex today because

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: she promised me that she would leave me alone and never bother me again if I agree to meet

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_01]: up with her once. I believed her and told her that I'd meet up with her in a nearby restaurant.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: She said she would book a table for us and we fixed the time for meet up.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: When I reached the spot I saw her waiting on the table. This is the first time I saw her

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: in two years and she didn't change that much. Anything that changed is she got some more

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_01]: tattoos on her hand and on her shoulders. She was brunette but now she coloured her head

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: blonde. She proceeded to hug me but I rejected. I told her that I'm in a hurry because

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: my girlfriend is waiting for me. It's not true because I'm not dating anyone.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I have no interest in spending time with my ex.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: She looked hurt. Her eyes went down for a minute and regained herself and said she

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: understands and she won't take much time. She asked me to sit and I did.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: She then said to apologise for how she ended things between us and how she

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: regretted it every single day. She said she was a shitty person back then

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and now she can realise how much damage she had done to our relationship back then.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: She again apologised to me saying she understands if I have nothing to do with her,

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: if I hate her or don't want to see her again. I wish her death because she thinks she deserves it.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I was silent in hearing all these and I could see tears were rolling from her eyes.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I just told her that I don't hate you and I'm sorry for being rude to you in the

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_01]: core. I congratulate you for improving yourself and being a better person.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_01]: She thanked me. I asked her if she still had the tattoo on her.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She said yes and she had no intention to remove it. I told her to remove it and move on with her life.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I then told her I need to leave and she said she wished all the happiness for me

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and she's happy because I finally met someone who would take good care of me.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I thanked her. She said she will keep her promise and she will never contact me again.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But she wished one day we can be friends in the future.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_01]: She then said goodbye and both of us walked in different ways.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's it. I didn't get any calls or texts from her or a friend since then.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that this is closure I really needed and I'm free in my life.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel fresh and I can move on with my life without any types of hesitation.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish her the best and hope that she finds true love in her life.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks to everyone. I really appreciate all of you for showing the support.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you once again.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And we have another update in a moment but Fluffy Loto says so she had everyone

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: rush you repeatedly to tell you she's sorry. Doesn't sound like she grew much.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Glad you told her your girlfriend was waiting. To be honest all these people

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_01]: sound like absolute trash. Good luck in the future far far away from this nut bag

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and her flying monkeys. Frumpy G says I'm not sure.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Crazy people have crazy friends. I wouldn't be surprised if that's their crazy way of helping.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Hope he says I just hope she keeps her promises.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Not gonna lie but she seemed mature and behaved them before.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish her luck and hope she gets the happiness in her life.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And the next update says hello everyone it's me again.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It's been a week and I'm here to update about my situation.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Also I'd be clearing some doubts and people asked me my DMs.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Did she try to contact me again?

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Many of you in my previous post says she was not done with and she will try to contact me again.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Good news guys it seems like she really became mature enough.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Since last week I didn't receive a single message or calls from her.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Even I didn't get any messages from her friends as well.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Some of them blocked me and some of them apologized for their behavior.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Did she remove the tattoo? Hope he says like I said in my last post

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_01]: she didn't remove it. She said she will keep it even though I told her to remove it and move on

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_01]: with her life. She said she knows and will manage. I didn't look into it further.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Did she make any sexual offering during the meet up? Hope he says no she didn't.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_01]: She looked emotional and she was asking for forgiveness the whole time.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Someone says is it true that she was celibate for the past two years?

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Hope he says in her words she was. She said she knows I won't believe it and she doesn't know

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_01]: how to prove it. And she said our breakup was a total wreck and was able to understand

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_01]: how much toxic she was. She said she seek therapy and did work on herself for improvement.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Someone says why did she involve her friends? Hope he says she said she didn't expect it.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: In fact her friends assured her that they would convince me to get back with her so she

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_01]: trusted them. She also said sorry for it and said she will make sure that our friends

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_01]: don't bother me again about her. Someone says about their current relationship?

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Hope he says in my previous post I said I was seeing a co-worker. Yes we're dating now.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Four days ago I got a proposal from her unexpectedly. It was a perfect moment for us.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I hugged, kissed and slept together for the first time. I made it official in my account

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: my friends are congratulating me still now. That's it. A wild chapter of my life is finally

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_01]: closed. I'm set to put my step for upcoming future with my girlfriend.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks to everyone who showed your support. It was really great and I respect you all for that.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Wish you a happy life to you all.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It's funny how Reddit stories always got me convinced there's something more going to happen.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I kind of feel like there is more that's going to happen although Hope he said that's their final

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: update. During the meeting where they were talking to each other I was quite surprised when

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: you know he said no just get rid of the tattoo. Gee whiz get rid of it she's like

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: nope I think I'll keep it. It's like what you're just gonna try and get another James

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and that James is gonna be not be surprised when he sees James's property. Oh dear me.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But now I'm gonna turn this one to you guys what do you guys make of this situation?

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below and let's move on to another story.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Now this one I have to give you a warning that is inconclusive at the moment but it was an

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_01]: interest in one I found. It was from No Stupid Questions from Callan Constructor

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_01]: who was asking my brother got a job offer that is too good to be true.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: What's the scam here? He read it about a week ago my little brother found an online posting for

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: a job to run a farm applied for it and got it. Seems straightforward right not at all. It seems

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: to me sketchy as fuck. Here's the details. We live in California my brother says a rich

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: woman from Florida inherited a farm that she needs work at in Kentucky. He claims

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: she will give him a place to live rent free. Includes a work truck and everything he needs

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and after five years she will give him the entire 200 acre farm house and everything but also paying

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_01]: him 3500 bucks a month. Seems too good to be true right? I've asked him to share the details such

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_01]: as the woman's name and address of the farm so I can cross check it with county records

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and he has not provided this information yet. I told him to get the offer in writing so I

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_01]: can review it. He claims the woman's legal team is drafting it up upon his arrival and will send

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: it to me then. He claims she bought him a ticket and he flies out tonight to start work tomorrow.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_01]: On one hand if she bought him a ticket and he actually bought the plane it might be a

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_01]: feasible job offer though I can't imagine anyone giving someone an entire 200 acre farm

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: or paying them to work there after five years. On the other hand I'm getting red flags all

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: over this and thinking the worst like you will wake up in a bathtub full of ice in

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_01]: a strange place missing vital organs. Is there some sort of job offer scam that could have someone

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_01]: fly across the US that I'm unaware of? I tried Google farm hand scam but I'm coming back empty.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: My brother has himself convinced that this is a legitimate job offer and isn't listening to my

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: reasoning or red flags so what is the scam here? And there were some very opinions on

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_01]: this one so Kips the dude says I'm sorry but this sounds like a human trafficking setup.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Opie says yes exactly something in the absolute worst like my brother is about to become a drug

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: mule for the cartel. My one saving grace is my little brother though clearly stubborn is built

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: like a navy seal he is huge in all muscles so if anything happens I think he can get himself

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_01]: out of it physically. Kips the dude says can he ask info about the farm website how payroll

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: is handled etc stuff he can look into before he literally gets on a plane. Opie says

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been asking him for it and he hasn't provided it to me. Kips the dude then replies again saying

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: he could also just be leaving to try and start over and doesn't want to tell anyone that's what

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_01]: he's doing any chance that's the case. Opie says it could be so weird we're pretty close and

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm usually his advisor and guide to the adult world it is so weird to me it hasn't provided

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: me with the information I've asked him for. Natasha Overworld says OP asked your brother

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: to put a tracking app on his phone and send a picture of whoever meets him to you. Of course

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: if he was smart he'd not go but at least this way he might be able to save his dumb ass.

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Opie says what's weird is after he got the offer he stopped sharing his location with me again

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: have told him to get me the information and to share his location with me before he flies out.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I've talked to some other family members and they all think it's suspect

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_01]: but he's a grown adult and we can't stop him we can only warn him

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and Opie's got some updates in the comments about what's been going on I think it's still

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: going to be inconclusive in the end but that is absolutely wild isn't it and overall the

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: comments on this one are just saying like you know bad vibes here could be cult could be could

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_01]: be all sorts of things going on maybe he is just wanting to get away and make a fresh start

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_01]: but none of it's making sense at the moment. Opie's first update says hi I'm finishing my

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: work earlier today my bff is driving down to go with me to the girlfriend's house this afternoon

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_01]: on the one hand if he has something private or just didn't want to tell me that's totally fine

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: he is an adult and I won't press if they assure me he's in good and can collaborate information

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: on the other hand what I was told was very suspect we plan to go this afternoon and check in

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_01]: make sure they've heard from him or physically got him to the airport and know the need to

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_01]: know information and have flight numbers etc. We'll take it from there and I'll update but

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: so far not update yet I sent another text but his phone is still on do not disturb

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_01]: next one says hello op here we just got done with working record time my bff is headed down

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: from sf to come with me to the girlfriend's house I feel crazy but I just want confirmation

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_01]: he is okay while there is more information such as address and flight numbers etc bff will be

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: there in about an hour and it takes about 45 minutes to get to the girlfriend's house

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_01]: starting looking two to three hours or a hope by 4pm pst latest I'll know something or at least

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_01]: we will leave a note asking them to call me as reddit pointed out the story is so weird that maybe

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: likely he didn't want me to know what's going on that's okay he's an adult and I respect this

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_01]: privacy but I need confirmation from others about his whereabouts unknown and he is safe

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_01]: someone found the job post so maybe it's legitimate maybe he's on a plane or exhausted

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: from an overnight and moving have no answers right now but will update when I can in my

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: wildest dreams I never expected this much support and kind strangers I'll keep everyone updated

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: as best as I can thank you reddit I love this site and I'm a longtime user I can't believe

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: this is blown up but I'm happy the world is rooting for little brother fingers crossed I get

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: answers today hope he says hi my update is last evening my brother texts me and let me know

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: he was exhausted from traveling and we will FaceTime later today most importantly he has

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: all his vital organs I know that's a joke but I was super sketched out I'm planning on sharing

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: everything here as well as go over safety plans and to remind him he is never stuck in any situation

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_01]: can always come home we're all adopted and don't have a traditional family and parents this is

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_01]: how I'm sort of involved in being his adult guide we talked about decisions together ultimately

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_01]: he's an adult but I do my best to always protect and guide him next comment nothing yet but I'll be

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_01]: demanding it going over safety plans sharing everything in the post and reminding him he can

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_01]: always come home the entire sequence of events was so quick within a few days interview and go

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_01]: just bizarre I'll be speaking to him in depth today four days after the original post opi

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: says he hasn't called or FaceTime me yet as promised I didn't know you all he's an adult

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and has been in touch over text as I've said seven days after the original post opi says

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm about to post a newest update shortly he LDR I haven't seen his face yet and he hasn't

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: shared a location nor has given me the farm address god bless reddit I already have the

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: information you all sent to me I only got a couple of messages from him since he got on the

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_01]: flight texting tonight that I'd file missing persons report and get Kentucky locals involved

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: if he doesn't FaceTime me so I know he's all right versus a vague text but here it is before the

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_01]: internet sees it a full text since before he left unfortunately that image was deleted but

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_01]: opi comes in eight days after the original post one more time and says hi all I'm so sorry for

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: the slow replies I own a business which is consuming my kiddo came home from school

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_01]: for the long weekend and it was my birthday I've been sort of juggling everything I went

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: he still thinks out little brother is doing something that he doesn't want me to know about

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and told me to give it a few more days completely respect privacy but it's so weird because me

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and little brother are close and discuss things and I'm his favorite I sent little brother another

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: texting but be having local law enforcement do a wellness check on him if he doesn't FaceTime me

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: he said he would on my birthday yesterday he didn't he claims where he is at has

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: poor service so he has to go to town and get service this is feasible but isn't there Wi-Fi

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I hope to have them soon I feel like my little brother is everyone's little brother now and
