I REFUSE To Support My Grieving Friend But I Think The Grief Is Clouding Her Judgement | Reddit

[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_00] Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys.

[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_00] Now today's collection of stories are coming from the Am I The Devil subreddit, a place where it's obvious that OP is going to be the arsehole. Just giving you that warning up front as I know some people don't like to deviate away from the updated stories, but totally up to you. And now let's crack on with it. Today's first story is coming from Beneficial Garbage 715, originally from the Am I The Arsehole subreddit, but made its way to the Am I The Devil subreddit saying, Am I The Arsehole for not supporting my grieving friend?

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00] Hi, I'll try to make this as short as possible, but I ain't making any promises. Basically, my friend Maria, 17 female, recently lost her boyfriend, Billy, 18 male over Christmas. They were together for over three years and she talked about him pretty often, although I never met him. Maria and I have only been friends for a year or so, and Billy struggled with worsening terminal illness.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_00] So, he was never really fit enough to meet me. I can tell she's been struggling. She doesn't ask me to get the train home with her anymore, so the only time we talk is when we're in class together. She looks miserable a lot of the time and had been drinking small bottles of coffee at college, which she never used to. Tiredness? Honestly, I don't really know what to do with her at this point. However, she walked me to my bus stop last week, but she seemed really low energy, so I asked her if she was alright.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_00] She then told me that she'd been really angry with me recently because she doesn't feel supported. She brought up a chat we had before Billy's death where I apparently said I would physically be there, in that I would take her on days out and come over. And she feels extremely lonely right now. To be honest, I got quite annoyed at this point because I lost my great-grandma last month, so I thought that she would be more understanding. Especially since this is my first loss, whereas Billy is not hers.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_00] Her sister died a few years ago. To be fair, she did say that her anger was unwarranted and unfair, which is something. She also said that it made her feel worse when she mentioned my lack of presence over text and I responded, I'm here if you need me. Because it put the responsibility for finding support back on her when she's already exhausted. Sorry about all the quotes, I can only really explain it in her words. After that, I couldn't really look at her.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_00] She got worried and told me to tell her how I was feeling. I said that I was annoyed, but that it wouldn't change our friendship. My bus arrived immediately afterwards, so we didn't have much time to talk about it. Now, I don't know what to do. I know I said I'd be present, but I didn't expect Billy to die so soon, so I didn't think I'd be in this situation right now. I also think the grief might be clouding her judgment, so I don't know if I should take her seriously or not.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_00] However, I'm not in her shoes, so I could be in the wrong here. Am I the arsehole? Opie's young, but holy moly, still the arsehole in this situation. And Ropey said that they got annoyed at this point because they lost their great-grandmother the previous month. And then was turning around and said, you know, it's not her first loss. Yeah, her sister died a few years ago. I was just like, oh my word, really? You're really going to use your own grief to dismiss hers is just wild.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_00] If you're going to make a promise to someone to be there when an inevitable tough period is going to happen at some point, you be there. Not get annoyed when they actually do so. Otter Squash says, quoting, I lost my great-grandma last month, so I thought she'd be more understanding, especially since this is my first loss, whereas Billy is not hers. Her sister died a few years ago, then says quite possibly one of the most arsehole statements I've ever seen someone earnestly write.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_00] You're the arsehole. Glib says, You think she should be able to handle her grief easier because her sister died. This is the sound of my brain screeching to a halt. How the what the fuck even fuck? You said you'd be present, but you meant as long as I don't have anything else going on. You're the arsehole. Another commenter says,

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_00] I mean it's kind of odd you're comparing the death of a great-grandma who lived a full accomplished life with a family and children to the death of an 18-year-old young love who never gets to fulfill their dreams, especially if she already lost a sister young. Your friend is broken. I'm not going to call you an arsehole, but your lack of empathy. I said I'd be present, but I didn't expect Billy to die so soon. So I didn't think I'd be in this situation right now. What the fuck is concerning? Scared Fox says, You're the arsehole.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_00] You say this person is your best friend, but honestly, from your post, it does not sound like you care about her at all. She told her you would be there for her and you haven't been. She texts you that she needed you and your only response was that you would be there if she needed, but you weren't actually there for her. And to top it all off, you're now trying to claim that she shouldn't need as much support as she does because this is not the first loss in her life.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_00] This may sound harsh, but the loss of a great-grandparent, someone who lived a long life, will never be as traumatic as losing a loved one who was young. Whether you mean to be or not, you are being a bad friend to her. And one more comment who says you're the arsehole in this post is so cold-hearted and lacks so much empathy that I'm actually feeling real-life anger. You're an arsehole. I'm one of the worst kind because you probably, honestly, don't even see how shitty you are being.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_00] Jesus fucking Christ, like, I know you're young, but even for a kid, this is a pretty selfish and fuck way to treat a friend who sat and watched the love of their life slowly wither away and die. Like, you know about death, right? You know how it works and how those people never come back. And you know how if you love someone that has died, it's exponentially harder to process, right? You act like you're so surprised that her everyday routines have changed when she's just trying to cope with the pain.

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_00] And you're all confused because you think she'd be better at grieving because she already lost her sister. How is that logical? So now she's lost two young people in her life and what? You think grief gets easier with time? Do you think it's like riding a bike or practicing juggling? The fuck? You compare the death of a very young, barely adult person to your great-grandmother's who's got to live a long, accomplished life. Even long enough to see a grandbaby's babies.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_00] Seriously, how can you look at yourself in the mirror? And the comments pretty much just continued down that path. They were absolutely brutal. But what do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. And let's move on to another story. Our next one comes from FormalBother who says, Am I the arsehole for buying my brother-in-law condoms? When I heard he doesn't use them.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_00] My wife has a younger brother, 29, who's been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart, who's also a 29-year-old male, for about 12 years. I think both of them as my family. They're my children's uncles. We spend a bunch of time together and we get along great. I recently had a vasectomy. I'm 44. We have three kids and we aren't planning on having any more. After one Sunday lunch with our brother-in-laws, we sent the kids away and us adults had some drinks and started talking about my vasectomy.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_00] At one point I said how great it was to finally not have to worry about protection and how great it felt without it. I said I almost feel sorry for them not experiencing it. My brother-in-law laughed and said, What are you talking about? We haven't used protection since high school. I was going to reply something, but the kids came running in so I dropped the topic. I later thought about what he said and talked to my wife about it, saying that I don't think it's safe for them to be having sex without condoms as a couple of gay men. And my wife laughed at me.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_00] Apparently, just because they've been together for a long time, it's safe. She told me to drop it and let them live their lives however they want. I thought it was ridiculous of her to have that reaction to her own brother not using protection and realized she wasn't going to tell them anything about it. So I figured I would buy some condoms and give them to my brother-in-laws and tell them I was worried about their safety and that they should really rethink not using protection. A couple of days ago, we had another lunch together.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_00] We sent the kids away again and I gave them the condoms. I rehearsed a whole speech about how I wouldn't want anything to happen to them and that they should stay safe. But rather than seeing my gesture for what it was, a gesture of care, they were offended. They asked if I'm suggesting that they shouldn't trust each other. They said that they had never slept with anyone else their whole lives and if they managed to have an exciting enough sex life not to cheat on each other for 12 years, they'll probably manage the same in the future.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_00] And my wife's brother also said that, by the same token, I should be continuing to wear condoms despite having had a vasectomy. After shouting at me for 10 minutes, they just left. My wife has been incredibly mad with me and demanded I apologize to them. But I refuse to apologize for caring about their health and safety. I don't see how what I did was this horrible. They could have just declined the condoms. And their arguments are ridiculous. So what if they've been together for 12 years?

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_00] People have cheated on each other after being together for longer than that. It's the thought process behind this one that gets to me, you know. He went away. He thought about this. He planned this. And never along the way he thought there's some sort of double standard here going on. Even when his wife explained why that's fine, he still went away and rehearsed the speech, bought condoms and then delivered them at a family lunch. And now he's confused why everyone's mad.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_00] The assumption that two men in a long-term monogamous relationship need condoms in a way that say what a straight couple wouldn't. Come on, man. And his wife told him to drop it, but he still didn't. And the brother-in-law's argument back that you should still wear condoms after your vasectomy was spot on. And the cheeky bugger at the end said they could have just declined. Like that's defending himself somehow. After you just ambushed them about a lecture about their sex life. And then you're acting baffled when they don't applaud you for it.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_00] A commenter says to OP, you're the arsehole for the double standards. They must wear condoms according to you, but you don't need to. Please explain the thought process behind that one. Quoting, and my wife's brother also said that by the same token, I should be continuing to wear condoms despite having had a vasectomy. Then said, he's right. Listering says you're the arsehole. The analogy of suggesting you should be using condoms after your vasectomy is extremely apt. I cannot imagine it going well if someone gifted you a box of rubbers and said,

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00] you never know if your wife is screwing the mailman. Cypher says for a long-term gay couple, nobody's getting pregnant and there'll be no risk of STDs unless one of them cheats. So you're implying that one of them would be unfaithful to require condoms. You don't wear them with your wife because you trust that she's faithful and you can't get her pregnant now. They can't get pregnant, so they're in the same situation as you. But because they are gay, you assume they have a higher risk of what? Not. Quoting, so if they've been together for 12 years,

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_00] people have cheated on each other after being together for longer than that and says, they're right. By this token, you and your wife should still use protection then, surely. Can you really not see this? Also, it's none of your business. And can we just touch on one more thing before we move on? I don't know if I misread it or what, but did he say about how great sex feels without a condom to the brother of the wife? Was that not odd to anyone? And I'm assuming the wife was there at the same time as well.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_00] It just felt pretty wild to be. But what do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. Let's move on to another story. Now our next story comes from sadatmosphere2494. And it says, Am I the arsehole here for taking my sister-in-law to small claims court? When my wife was in high school, her dad bought her an electric piano. We have the receipt from the guitar center in her name.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_00] When she went off to college nine years ago, she couldn't take it to the dorm, so she left it behind at her mom's house. Her sister was learning to play, so she let her continue to use it, even as we're moving in together and staying life together. We had no real need for a piano at the time. Her sister, not asking us, took the piano from her mom's house with her when she got married and moved in with her husband. We didn't make a deal about it. She was playing it more than we would have at the time.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_00] We recently have started playing in a band with some friends. My wife is going to be the keyboardist. Suddenly, she needs a piano at home for practice, and I remind her that she has one. She asked her sister if she could return the piano and is flatly told no. That it doesn't belong to her anymore. We offered her the chance to buy it out. Her husband is an engineer and they have plenty of money. We even offered a compromise as if the piano was shared between them, but they would only buy out our half of it.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00] She declined and said we were extorting them. My wife has never been anything but selfless for her sister. She spent hundreds throwing her birthday parties, bridal showers, and was currently planning and preparing to host their sister's baby shower while dealing with her own infertility. Their apartment is literally furnished with couches and bookshelves. We gave them for free, never asking for anything. But now we are labeled as greedy and the relationship is essentially over.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_00] We are planning to take them to small claims court for the value of the piano. So at least we can use it to buy a different one. It's about more than the money at this point. It's about respect and not letting my wife be taken advantage of. She's done being the only one in her family who constantly gives in to keep the peace. Are we the arseholes? Traditional Sky says to this one, You're the arsehole. Court won't give you the purchase price of the electric piano. Only depreciated value.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_00] You can check the IRS website for depreciation schedules, but I'd guess that instrument is fully depreciated now and essentially worthless. Plus, you let her keep the instrument after she moved it into a marital home. An argument can be made that your wife gave the piano to her sister. Are the in-laws kind of mean and thoughtless? Of course, but you're nuts to think they owe you anything close to the original purchase price. Salty says you're the arsehole. Your wife clearly abandoned this gift many, many years ago and essentially had given it to her sister.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_00] Also, receipts don't get a name on them, so I don't know what that's about. And if you have given so much to your sister-in-law that her entire apartment has been furnished by you and you've paid for all of her major life milestones, then don't you have enough money to just go buy a new keyboard? How would you potentially destroy a relationship between sisters over this? And one more comment who says you're the arsehole based on what you posted. I'm pretty sure you'd be laughed out of court. First of all, your wife's dad, not her, bought the piano, so it's doubtful you can prove ownership.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_00] It's weird that you say you have a receipt for it that names your wife as the sole owner. And saying that you offered to pay her a half of it suggests that even you acknowledge that your sister has at least a partial ownership of it. What's more, you've waited nine years to ask for it. Basically abandoning the piano. Since you offered to pay your sister for it. Why not just use that money to either buy a new piano or a used one in similar condition? Instead of starting this ridiculous family drama.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_00] It was an interesting one, this one. Because although it was on the Am I the Devil subreddit, there was some people arguing against it saying, you know, it was her piano initially and she never actually gave it away. Whereas other people were saying, come on now, it's been nine years. Part of me just was thinking, I wonder what's going on in the background. It doesn't feel like this is all the story we're getting here. But what about you guys? What do you think of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00] Let's move on to another story. Now our next story comes from Rich Stretch 4130 and says, am I the asshole for convincing people to quit my friend's play and saying it's a bad idea? My friend Liana is 17 female. She has recently been really mentally ill. She was in a mental hospital for a week. When she came out of the hospital, she barely spoke to anyone for like a month. One day she suddenly became really hyper.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00] I'll describe it. She was talking to everyone, really extroverted. She wrote a play and suddenly decided to put it on. 16 female and our other friend Matt, 18 male, thought it was a bad idea. Our other friends thought it was good though. And one of their fathers happened to own a venue she could do it at. And she cast our friends in the play. And was saying whatever profit she makes, she'll split it with everyone. Matt and I told her this is a terrible idea.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_00] She's not mentally stable enough and promising them money is crazy. She's not good at maths and she's not in the headspace. She laughed and said, Matt's good at maths. He can be her money manager. He said no way. She and our friends started to do the play. And she told us one day how depressed she was again. I told her that she's too busy, she should cancel the play. She said she likes the play and she's already sold tickets. Matt and I were worried. We said to our friends doing her play,

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_00] Tallulah, 16 female, Sophie, 18 female and Bethany, 19 female, about how terrible the play idea is because she's so depressed lately. Sophie quit the play. Tallulah was going but felt bad. Leanna was upset because she didn't have enough people to do it now. Bethany told her the reason Sophie quit the play was because Matt and I told her too. Leanna confronted her saying, If we don't like the play, fine. She won't talk to us about the play, so just forget about it.

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_00] Me and Matt decided to just leave it. Until she posted an advertisement for the play saying that a local drag queen will be in it. Matt and I made a group chat with her asking about this. She said she met him at a sketch night and told him about the play and he said he would watch. They saw each other again at a drag bar and he asked how the play was coming along and she told him she might have to cancel. He apparently jokingly said I would go in drag and play the part and they both actually loved that idea.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_00] I said that's sweet but it was bad enough with just friends now bringing a local celebrity into it. This could end really badly and Matt asked if he's not concerned at all about the pay. Leanna said he's fine with it and she's letting him promote his drag show so there's no problem. I said it's a problem because she's taking on more than she can chew. If it ends badly it won't just hurt her friends, it could hurt the public talking about it since the drag queen is a big name. She then left the group chat and won't talk to us.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_00] We talked to Bethany about it and she said that we need to be more supportive and the play's coming along great and it's just a bit of fun. I again said that when it's got money involved it's more than just a bit of fun and Bethany said for us to just leave Leanna alone and mind our own business. I just find that like such a sad situation because the concern for her isn't the problem.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_00] If I saw a friend going through you know a mental health crisis at one point or whatever it was I'd be concerned for them as well and I would have worries and thoughts but it's how you handle it and how you acted upon it that was the issue. Going behind her back to convince people to quit her play. That's not supportive that's just sabotaging what she's doing. And then she managed to get this drag queen involved in it which sounded like it was a positive thing for the play at the same time and you're still finding new reasons to actually stop it.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_00] There's a real fine line between looking out for someone and deciding for them and what they can handle and you're doing that right now. She has people around who are actively enjoying what's going on. The play is selling tickets and are local celebrities involved. Maybe, just maybe, this is the exact kind of thing she needs right now. So of course, yes, you're going to be the arsehole in my opinion. I mean, yeah, my devil subreddit so of course.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_00] A commenter says leave Leanna alone and mind your own business. It's not your job to police your friend's mental health. The play might even be good for her. You seem hell bent on stopping someone who you call a friend from doing something she's passionate about. Could it be a manic episode? Maybe, but that's not for you to assess. You went as far to try and stop the play by saying whatever you said that resulted in someone dropping out. That was not nice. You can care about your friend, but your lack of support is causing issues.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_00] So step back, you've been told several times to stop. You're the arsehole. Apprehensive Book says,

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00] But now, what do you guys make of this one? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. Let's have another story from that guy, 390, who says, Am I the arsehole for purposely leaving my wife at home with the kids? My 37 male, wife 33 female, and I've been together for 10 years. We have two young kids. We have very different people and the concept of opposites attract could not be more true for us. I love my wife, but every time we argue, we never seem to find a resolution.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_00] Our most recent fight has me feeling very lost. Basically, my wife works from home all week and also takes care of the kids. I work outside of our home during the week, so when the weekend comes, I just want to stay home and relax or work on house projects. My wife, on the other hand, always wants to go out and do things as a family with our two kids. Last weekend, we got into a big argument because I did not want to go out, but my wife did. Eventually, she went upstairs with the kids so that I could work on some stuff,

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_00] but in actuality, I ended up leaving the house to blow off some steam. Hours later, she checked my location in court that I had left her at the house. Apparently, the whole time she thought I was in the house working on home projects, while she watched the kids upstairs. She says that what I did was spiteful, but I disagree. I was not trying to be spiteful and I don't see anything malicious about me having gone out without her. I just wanted a sanity break. We have not spoken in a week and we are sleeping in separate bedrooms.

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00] I don't get why she's so upset and talking only leads to more arguing. She keeps going back to saying that I was being spiteful and I don't know how to make her understand that I wasn't. Is she being unreasonable or am I the arsehole? Now look, I get everyone needs alone time. I love alone time. I would say I'm introverted myself. Time to decompress is lovely, but his wife thought he was downstairs doing projects.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_00] She was parenting solo upstairs based on that assumption and he just snuck out. No message, no talking about it, nothing. Just snuck out and then it's like, oh, I wonder why she's upset. That's just a disappearing act. It's deception, even if it is unintentional. And this was all based off that she wanted to go out in the first place. The top commenter said you're the arsehole considering the entire fight was her wanting to leave the house

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_00] and you not wanting to, followed by you leaving the house. Am I understanding that your wife works from home in a full-time job while also watching the kids and you're annoyed that she wants to get out of the house? Bro, for the love of God, put yourself in her shoes. Imagine doing your regular job all week in your house while simultaneously parenting and tell me you wouldn't go stir crazy. Also, there's such a thing as compromise. Do an activity out of the house one day and stay home one day.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_00] Marion Berry says, You're caught up on the word spiteful as if what you did wasn't wrong just because you don't agree with the intent she assigned to it. You're arguing because she wanted to leave and you didn't. But then you left. Can't you just step outside of yourself for a second and see how fucked up that is from her point of view? There's also the inherent implication that you just get to leave her with two toddlers whenever you want. And you just reinforce that. When is the last time she needed space and left you with the kids?

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_00] I guarantee you since she's working from home whilst raising two toddlers, she needs it more than you do. Especially considering it's what started the argument in the first place. You're the asshole. Headtrick says you're the asshole for your reaction. It's rude as heck to just up and leave and not say anything in my opinion. My husband has traveled a whole 20 year marriage, Monday to Friday and sometimes stretches. I too at times wanted to spend quality time with him and the kids because it was literally the only time we had.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_00] It sounds cliche but trust me when I say the kids won't want to spend time with you as much in 12 years. We had to cram in sports, friends, family etc all on the weekends. In marriage there's compromise. Our Sundays were and still are our lazy days. You both need to learn how to communicate and compromise. But now, what do you guys make of this situation? Bloody hell. Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_00] Let's have one more story which comes from a throwaway account and says How do I, 27 male, get friend, 26 female to stop manipulating me to date her? Last November, I met this girl at the gym I go to. We started talking and she did a lot for me, not going to lie. I started going back to school and she paid my tuition because I'm still working on myself. It's community college, so not that much. It was 1200 but I get it.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_00] We started having some conflict because she found out I was talking to other girls. Meanwhile, we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend but I'll admit, I should have been transparent with her. I told her I'm just not on that relationship time right now. She agreed to be friends but she completely changed. Things that she used to do, she won't. I feel like she's trying to use money to manipulate me. Our last text. I said, you've been on some funny shit lately. She replied by the question mark.

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_00] I said, you're just petty lol but it's cool. She said, how? I said, you know how. She said, because I didn't send you money for groceries. He said, just in general. You said, you want to only want to be friends. I'm treating you like a friend. I've been understanding with you. I helped you out anytime you asked. I find it funny you aren't mentally ready for a relationship but you're comfortable asking me to keep paying for you. This is what a friendship looks like.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_00] Opie continued, to me it's clear she's been trying to use her finances to push me to a relationship. Just not sure how to confront her. Trying to handle this delicately. Oh my bloody word, I just can't with this book. So, he met her at the gym. She's paid his college tuition. Covered his groceries. He's basically funding his life and he rejected her. You know, you can't force feelings, whatever.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_00] But, his complaint is that she stopped paying for those things after he said he just wants to be friends. Mate, that's what friendship looks like you bloody teacup. But now he's going to come at it with a manipulation angle. What the hell? Hopeless Baguette says to Opie, are you actually serious? You're here letting everyone know you blatantly used some woman for financial gain. And you want us to think she is the bad guy. You are deluded. Get a job and take care of yourself.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_00] Stop manipulating women into doing it for you. Have you paid her back that $1,200? If you have any kind of spine or moral fortitude, you'll pay her back. You're truly gross. Plain Drama says, I find it a bit surprising that you're upset she's no longer sending you money. Honestly, I also think it's strange that you felt comfortable accepting it in the first place. That's not something to take lightly. It's actually kind of embarrassing.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00] You should have been more grateful for her generosity, but ideally, you wouldn't have relied on it at all. I'm on her side here. I'd also be curious to know why she felt the need to financially support you in the first place, especially since you're a grown man. That dynamic raises some important questions. Another commenter says, Bro, she's not manipulating you. She's respecting the fact that you said you didn't want a relationship. She gave you money because she thought there was more between you. When she found out there wasn't, she stopped.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_00] This is normal. People shout out money for their lovers and less, if they do at all, for their friends. She's not being manipulative. She's doing what any normal person would do while you're being a leech and a beggar. But now, I'm going to turn this one to you guys. What do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. And just a huge thank you for being here today, getting involved in the stories, your love, your support, your time.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_00] It always means the absolute world to me. So thank you so, so much for being here. And hopefully, I'm going to see you in the next one. Take care and much love.

[00:29:42] Bye.
