My Wife Left Me After She Got In Shape But Suddenly Wants Me Back? r/Relationships

[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_02]: some more Reddit Stories. And if you do love a Reddit Story why not consider hitting that

[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_02]: like subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first

[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_02]: story. Much love guys. Now, today's first story comes from the true off my chest subreddit

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_02]: from let me be alone who says, my wife left me after she got in shape and now wants to

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_02]: get back together. I'm not sure why I'm posting this, I probably want some validation as my

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: life turned upside down recently. I, 32 male, was married to my wife, 33 female, for 4 years

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: and we had a great marriage so far. I was madly in love with my wife. She fell into

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_02]: depression mainly due to her job in 2022. I tried to support her in every way and suggested

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_02]: her going to the gym or doing any kind of sports to de-stress. I had my own depression

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_02]: episode before we got married and what saved me was going to the gym. She agreed to that

[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_02]: and we started going there together. I could not go as frequent as in the past since my

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_02]: workload got heavier after my promotion. However, I tried my best to be there with her. She

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: used to be a bit chubby which I loved and after seeing some changes with her body she

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_02]: started to go there regularly. It also helped with her depression and she got better. I

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: was really happy to see her get better and livelier. She looked more confident, got more

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_02]: aggressive in bed and so on. However, after a while that confidence level started to affect

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_02]: our relationship for the worst. She started going to parties and going outside to a point

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: she completely stopped doing her share in the house. That proceeded with me seeing her

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: getting flirty with a guy at a meetup we went. I communicated my feelings to her and

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_02]: she dismissed these. After several of these I had to sit her down with me and told her

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: that she is riding on her newly found confidence and emotions right now. I clearly stated she

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_02]: should not make decisions or actions according to that confidence right now. I know it well.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It was one of my worst traits. I used to be extremely emotionally driven in the past.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I suggested we go to a marriage counselor and all hell broke loose. She said vile things

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_02]: to me like how she realized she settled down with me after getting better and she could

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: do much better than me. She said I am insecure and other things. This woman used to be the

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: sweetest person on earth and I was shocked hearing the things she said to me. She filed

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_02]: for divorce the following month and I did not hear much from her other than some lawyer talks.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Our court seeing is scheduled to be next month and my lawyer told me there is a high chance

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: it will be concluded then. There is not much to share. Similar income, only shared asset

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_02]: is our joint account, similar savings and no kids. House is my mom's so it's out of

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: division. I accept that my marriage is going to end like that. Last week she called crying

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and told me she regrets everything. She apologized over and over again but I felt disappointed.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Not angry, not sad but just disappointed. She did not text me nor call me even once

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: since the divorce started. I did not even know where she was since she just left the

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_02]: home. I told her there is no going back now. She has been messaging me non-stop. My family

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_02]: supports my decision and tells me I should not back down. My in-laws were shocked when

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: they heard about the divorce. They are now telling me to rethink everything. I will 99.9%

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_02]: not back down. But as I said, just looking for validation and maybe wanted to vent. Thank

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: you for reading.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I hope you were replying to a comment that was deleted and they said I did not even understand

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_02]: why she left me after getting in shape. I am in shape too. It's not like I was overweight.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's been a while since going to the gym before we started together but was not in

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_02]: bad shape at all. I could probably get back to my shredded years with one year of regular

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_02]: work. The amount of married women that have tried to sleep with me, I can't even count.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Medicaid says it didn't work out with the better guy she wanted to leave you for so

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_02]: now she wants to get back to the safe option. You loved her when she was chubby and she

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: wanted to throw that away for a guy who probably only liked her for her new looks. You were

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: right not to take her back. Firecracker says again this is it exactly. She was talking

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_02]: with someone else and jumped ship to get with the better person. She either got a reality

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_02]: check after the high she was on wore off or she saw who this person really was and quickly

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_02]: realized what she did.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So around 6 weeks or so later Opie came in with an update and says we are officially

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_02]: divorced. There was not much to share so it went smooth as butter according to my lawyer.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I never talked to her other than through lawyers as much as she wanted me to. She tried to

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: talk to me one on one and get closure but I just do not want that. It's not that I

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: do not care why she left me, what she did during that time. I just do not want to know.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been living without her for months now. At first it was difficult and I cried all

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: night and Sundays but after a few months I feel like I came to accept everything. What

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: peace will it give to learn what and why when I already accepted everything other than hurting

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_02]: me. For once I want to prioritize my peace of mind in this whole process. My parents

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_02]: and friends are here to support me and I'm glad that I have such a great support circle.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_02]: As for what my plans are, renovate my office room in the house, get back to the gym and

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_02]: live my best life. I've been wanting to renovate my office room for a while now and

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_02]: that's what I'll start with. I started hitting the gym at the same time. I believe

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: my body is good but I have some extra fat. Dieting proves itself difficult because I

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_02]: am a tiramisu addict. For the dating part I uploaded a few apps and tried out how I'm

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: doing. I got a decent number of matches but realized I do not feel like doing it right

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: now. I'll focus on my own hobbies, well-being and wants for now. Thank you for all the support

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and help in the last post.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Before we move on, a couple of comments from that update.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: This is Choo Choo who says when the person who chooses to leave want closure just shut

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: the door and keep it shut. They only want to make themselves feel better about their

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_02]: decision no matter how bad it screwed you over. Bigger and better things to look forward

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: to OP. All the best.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Firecracker says it sounds like she did realize how badly she fucked up and was going to try

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and convince him to take her back after she ran away and had her fun. Honestly wouldn't

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_02]: be surprised if it all started from just small statements made to her at the gym and she

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_02]: just ran with it from there.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Orange Ogre says evil tiramisu. It better be worth those extra calories.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: OP says it's just too good. I can't. Absolutely.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I always find the whole closure conversation a real strange one, one that can go either

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: way because I know for myself and this is only from me personally, I would want to know

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_02]: what that other person is going to say. It wouldn't change my outcome, I still wouldn't

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: want to be with that person but I really would want to know what they were going to say.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I think fair play to OP for not wanting to hear it and just moving on with her life.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: If that works for them then I think absolutely that's the right choice.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But how about you guys on this one? What do you think was happening with his wife? Would

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you want the closure from it in the end or would you happily move on, not think about

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_02]: it again etc etc? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below and let's move

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_02]: on to another story.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Now for our next story, it's a story that we covered about 7 months ago but there is

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: a newer update that we didn't cover then so we're going to cover the previous parts of

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: the story as always and then add the new update on the end. But if you do want to skip parts

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: of it, timestamp is always down in the description and along the timeline below. Thank you.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: My parents ruined my wedding and I don't think I can get over it.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_02]: This is from GoddessXM from the OffMyChest subreddit.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: My now husband and I got married on Halloween and I'm not okay with how our day went. We

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: didn't want anything big, just close friends and family at the courthouse, dressed in costumes.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: There was supposed to be 12 adults and 1 child, that was on our guest list.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start off with the night before. My husband got sick and he took the whole day

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_02]: to recover to be well. The plan was get my nails done, have my mom french braid my hair

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_02]: then go home, help him feel better and pack. When I got to my parents house my mom informed

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: me that my 2 aunts weren't coming and that she invited my cousin. I didn't want him

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: there firstly, second she told me as my dad was on the way to pick him and my sister up.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I love my cousin but I'm not close with him and he's an alcoholic that everybody enables.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_02]: My small reception was not dry and she promised me he wouldn't be a problem. The reception

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: was at my parents house so she was busy cleaning. I still needed to comb my hair out and she

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: wanted to surprise me with decorations. Long story short we were running low on time as

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_02]: it was 9pm and I needed to head home to sleep since our wedding was early in the morning.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_02]: She doesn't start my hair until after her and my cousin start drinking and smoking.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm already annoyed, I make it home at midnight and still have to check on my hubby and pack.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I get to bed at 3am and have to be up at 5am but I woke up 30 minutes late. I drive back

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_02]: to her house to get ready and help her get ready. When I get there everyone is sleeping

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_02]: because after they put up the decorations they stayed up drinking and smoking. Already running

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_02]: late and stressing because the veil I made myself wouldn't stay, my cousin starts rushing

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: me. My parents start fighting loudly and I'm already exhausted. We make it to the courthouse,

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: get married and I got a handful of pictures but everyone else is in like 30 pictures.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I got one pic that I liked and only 10 were taken. We get brunch and only my friends are

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_02]: talking to me and my husband and everyone else isn't paying attention to us. My mom

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: keeps saying, I'm a mother in law today, my friends have to leave, they let us know

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: in advance so now it's just my family. My cousin is super drunk and won't stop talking,

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: no one is listening to me and the only person that keeps checking on me is my husband. Eventually

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I get overwhelmed and check into our hotel to take a nap. 2-3 hours later we head back

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: to the house to give everyone a second chance but they are clearly more intoxicated and loud.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Cuss words are flying, my husband tries to calm me down by telling me to start playing

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: our wedding playlist that we made ourselves. The entire time my cousin is complaining about

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_02]: the music, he wants us to play more hardcore rap. Now I wasn't opposed to song requests

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and he even played some songs he requested but every song that wasn't his he complained,

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: asking me to turn it off or ask why I would play this song. Our first dance was to Can

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I have this dance from HSM and he asked me to turn it off. When we were ready to cut

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_02]: the cake no one came and took pictures, no one was even in the room with us because my

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_02]: cousin was drunk rapping his hot mess bars. My wedding day didn't feel like my day,

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I had no say in anything, no one paid attention to us and I have one picture. This was supposed

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_02]: to be the happiest day of my life but here I am, I'm crying at 4.32am on reddit, no

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: sleep while my husband sleeps peacefully. I couldn't tell him earlier because we had

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_02]: to get intoxicated just to deal with him and he already doesn't like my dad so I didn't

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: want him to say anything in that situation. I'll just give you a gist of the comments

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: on this one, a lot of people saying they're sorry this happened to you and a lot of people

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: saying you know next year just go on a trip just you and your husband he's your new family

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: now etc etc but then OP came in with their first update and said I posted here about

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: how my parents and cousin ruined my wedding and how I didn't know what to do. So here's

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: the update. After posting here I tried to get some sleep but couldn't and ended up waking

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: my husband. He and I talked and he told me he felt the same way. I cried all morning

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_02]: until he made me lay down to finally sleep. I maybe got 3 hours of sleep before waking

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_02]: up in incredible pain and feeling nauseous. We checked out of our hotel early and went

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: to the hospital. I had the same sickness he had the day before our wedding. We went back

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: to my parents house so I could get some real sleep before making the drive home. We did

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_02]: not talk to my parents about it. After talking to our friends we decided that

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_02]: we would redo the pictures next Wednesday to have a mini party to celebrate. My husband

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: told me to feel my feelings but not to worry about it because he would fix it. I trust

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_02]: that he will. What I hadn't mentioned in my previous post

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_02]: was this was my first wedding and we're having another one next year for everyone

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: to come to. Which is why it hurt so much to have my mom do that to me. Neither one of

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: us are particularly close with our families but as to not have drama we decided to have

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_02]: a smaller intimate one this year and the bigger more extravagant one next year. After what

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: happened with this wedding we both made the decision that my mom would never have the

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_02]: opportunity to do this to me again and she will have no say in the next one.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_02]: We did eventually talk to my mom about her actions and it went about as expected. She

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_02]: made herself to be the victim and made me out to be the bad guy. She used my aunts passing

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_02]: as an excuse to invite my cousin. She also told me she asked if he could come but doesn't

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_02]: see that she gave me no way to say no. She doesn't understand how she ruined our day.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry you feel like I ruined your day was the apology I received. Eventually I gave

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: up trying to get her to understand how she ruined it and the fact that we weren't mad

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_02]: at her just extremely hurt. I did tell her there was no way for her to make this up to

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_02]: me and apparently that was the wrong thing to say. I grey rocked her until she got off

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: the phone and cried into my husband's chest until he made me laugh. As for going no contact

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: or low contact with my parents. I was already low contact with my dad for things in the past

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm currently low contact with my mom but she doesn't get that. She's called me 20 times

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: today alone and I haven't answered once. I'm working on processing things that happened

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_02]: in childhood but I can't get over the fact that they're my parents. I know with everything

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_02]: that has happened, not even just my wedding that I should be no contact with them. For

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: some reason my heart won't let me. Low contact for now.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate the comments you guys left and he really enjoyed reading that he's doing

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_02]: a good job. I really did pick a good one and even though our wedding day wasn't what we

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_02]: wanted I did marry the love of my life. He continues to prove that to me daily and I've

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_02]: never been happier. Unless something of more significance happens this will be the only

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_02]: update. Thank you again and I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Phoebe replied to OPN says I saw the first post and commented. Understand your pain and

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_02]: the hard place your mother always puts you in. It's a never win situation. You might want

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_02]: to read The Borderline Mother. It's long and textbook like but it really helped me process

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: my situation. I would do it on an audio book in increments. It's a lot. It really helped

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: me through and I think it might be helpful for you too. I couldn't do no contact either

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_02]: because they know how to drill guilt into us like it's their fucking oxygen. I'm very

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_02]: low contact now and the guilt isn't so bad and I have more peace in my life. I wish the

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: same for you. Your big celebration is going to be magical.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Opie says my husband and I started dating. He helped me start to realize how much guilt

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: she's drilled into me and this was the first time in my life that I didn't allow it to work.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It hurts because I've always put her feelings before my own. But I'm a wife and plan to

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_02]: have kids. I can't keep doing that. He's helping me and as much as it hurts, I want better

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: for our kids.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So Opie comes in with another update and says hi. I saw this story on TikTok the other day.

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: My husband actually sent it to me. He told me I should give you all an update so here

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_02]: it is. We're not having a second wedding. We might have a party but we're definitely

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_02]: just going on a trip somewhere. We decided that we shouldn't feel obligated to do another

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_02]: one for the sake of others. Nor should we give my mother the chance to do this again.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Also to the people on TikTok. I'm 21 non-binary and black. My husband is 22 and black. Someone

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_02]: said my family was Mexican coded and I thought I should clear up my age. Also, just because

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I love HSM doesn't make me white. Ever since I heard Can I have this dance? I knew that

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: was going to be my first dance. Contrary to popular belief, I do have a backbone. What

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_02]: was I supposed to do? My dad already picked up my cousin by the time my mom told me she

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_02]: invited him and no matter how loud I yelled none of them were listening to me. I feel

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_02]: like some of y'all never had to contemplate going no contact with a parent let alone a

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: black mother. The level of guilt and grief when we realize you have to for your sake.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I wish that on no one.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, my husband and family got along well until our wedding. Whoever was invited was

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_02]: because we both wanted them there. He felt like the day wasn't about us as well. He

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't like my dad and I don't like my dad. The only reason he was there was it's

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_02]: his house and he's married to my mom. We are extremely low contact with my parents.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We haven't talked since I got my non-apology. That's the level I'm comfortable keeping

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_02]: it at. I'm standing on my boundaries for the first time in my life. I would like to

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_02]: say I posted the original off my chest for a reason. It wasn't bothering me. I needed

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: to vent somewhere. I frankly don't care what people think. For those of you who left

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: comments about your experiences or tried to help me with understanding my parents by

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: offering me books to read, I thank you. For those who said my husband will get sick of

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_02]: dealing with my parents and leave me. He's been with me for 3 years before we got married

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_02]: and has done nothing but reassure me. He's been with me when I've cried over my relationship

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: with my father and he's still here as I'm coming to terms with my mother. I have a

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_02]: truly great man and I'm nothing but thankful for him.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Edit to add, the reason I didn't hire a photographer was because my mom is the picture

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: taker of the family. We had an agreement that she would take pictures for me. I wasn't

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_02]: expecting it to go like that. As for a new picture we did hire a photographer

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: and would be taking pictures in early December. This small get together with friends was exactly

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: what we wanted it to be.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I know it's not the right decision but for that person what they've had normalized in their life growing up is hard to come to terms with.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Whether it comes from counseling, comments on Reddit, or reading a book that helps them out.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Where they learn that their parents didn't treat them fairly or their sibling was a golden child or something along those lines that gives them that moment to recognize

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_02]: fuck me my childhood wasn't normal. Not the same situation as OP but I realize you know some of the situations that I've been in when I was younger wasn't normal.

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Some of the things that I've seen like occasionally when I tell a story and you know I'm still writing out the wedding eyeball story.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But I get people like what the fuck's that about Mark? I'm like what? You had something like that happen when you were younger?

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It's wild and it's part of the reason why I do love to tell those stories because some of the reactions from people are like what?

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: All I can say is fair play to you OP and I think you know that trip for you and your husband getting away and being together like some of the comments said in the previous one.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: That's your new family there and I hope you know that this journey that you're on realizing about your parents about your mum especially.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I hope you continue to make progress with it and you know eventually no contact because it sounds like in this situation that's definitely what it needs.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But what do you guys make of this situation? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And just a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting involved in today's stories. Your love, your support, your time always means the absolute world to me.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So thank you so so much and hopefully I'll see you in the next one. Take care and much love.
