Wife Is Weirdly OBSESSIVE About Her Brothers Girlfriend And He Went No Contact | r/BestOf

[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_00] Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you're 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? And like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys. Now today's first story comes from expert sample 6563 from the Am I the Arsehole Here subreddit. And it says, Am I the Arsehole Here for telling my wife that her shitty attitude was the reason her brother doesn't speak to her anymore.

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00] And there is a trigger warning on this one of racism. So if you do want to skip it, please feel free to do so. Timestamps are always down in the description and along the timeline below. Thank you. It starts. First of all, this is a throwaway account as I don't want my wife to find out I posted this. So this goes all the way back to last Christmas when my 29 male wife 29 female and I first met my brother-in-law's 28 male girlfriend 23 female.

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_00] Now, just for general background knowledge, my wife has five siblings and out of all, she's always been the closest to Peter. Meaning he would come over to our house at least two times a week. He has a spare set of keys to our place in case of an emergency and we've had an emergency key to his apartment. Everything was fine until last October when we noticed that Peter stopped coming over.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_00] At first, I didn't really care that much but then my wife said that he hardly even replied to her texts, which was concerning since Peter has a history of depression and sometimes withdraws from everyone when he's in his dark place. So one night after my wife got his voicemail four times and after my in-laws confirmed that they too did not hear back from him, out of concern we drove over to his apartment and used the emergency key.

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_00] Usually when Peter gets like this, his apartment looks a mess but to our surprise when we walked inside, his place was spotless and smelled like a bath and body work store. When my wife realized that he wasn't home, she took the opportunity to snoop and that's when she found silk sheets, high-end women's clothing, skincare, new appliances and meal preps in the fridge and realized that Peter had a girlfriend. As soon as we got home, my wife sent him a message telling him that we stopped by and she even asked why he didn't tell us he was seeing someone.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_00] Eventually, Peter called back and apologized for being so distant and explained to my wife that he'd been dating this girl, Sheila, for a while. And the reason he didn't tell us was because my wife was often too pushy and he didn't want her to be upset that he was dating someone she didn't put him on to. My wife has tried to set him up with her friends several times in the past. He also told us not to worry if he doesn't stop by as much anymore and that he would introduce us to her when he felt ready.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_00] After that, we hardly ever heard from him until December when he told us that he was bringing his girlfriend, Sheila, to meet the family the day after Christmas. Honestly, I was happy for him. Yes, I missed hanging out but I was happy that the dude was living his own life. My wife, however, was furious saying that Sheila was probably the one making Peter distance himself from the family and that she made him buy all those expensive items we had seen at his place. When the day after Christmas came, everyone gathered at my in-law's house to meet Sheila and everyone including myself were a bit surprised.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_00] Sheila was nowhere near his usual type. As my sister-in-law said, she gave off black cat energy. Lol. I honestly thought that she was pretty nice, friendly to everyone, helped in the kitchen, cracked a few jokes and Peter seemed happy he was telling everyone about how he has been eating less processed junk and now craves cleaner meals and how Sheila takes him on her runs. Throughout it all, however, my wife looked noticeably annoyed and when I tried to speak to her, she just rushed me off by saying that Sheila was trying to change Peter into someone he was not.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_00] But despite everything, she held her tongue. At night, while my wife and I were having drinks with all her siblings, the conversation steered towards everyone making a few jokes about Peter's new lifestyle and how he must be whipped for his new girlfriend and how surprised they were that his type changed so much. It was all light-hearted until my wife offered Peter a second beer and he declined saying that he tries to drink less now because Sheila hates the smell of it. That led to my sister-in-law cracking a joke saying something along the lines of, he better refuse the beer or else he wouldn't get lucky that night.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00] At that point, I think Peter just had enough of the jokes and drank another beer just to quiet the others down. By 1am, Peter had gotten pretty tipsy. Two beers turned into five and then he took the bait of the others' jokes by revealing that Sheila actually wants to wait a while before they do anything together. And immediately after, he said that my wife told him, With the amount of shit you bought because of her, you should be cracking that by now. Now, if she had just left it there, maybe he wouldn't have gotten angry.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_00] But she followed up with her being surprised because Sheila looks as if she gives it up pretty easily. After that shit went down, Peter hasn't spoken to my wife since December. No matter how many times I've tried to reason with her and tell her that all she needs to do is apologize, she won't hear it. She keeps insisting that she was the only one who cared enough to tell him the truth. Now, she's been trying to turn her parents against Peter's relationship by telling them that how Sheila posts designer bags and shoes on her Instagram and that she bets Peter is the one paying for it all.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_00] Last night, I tried to tell her to stop saying things like that and that she should be happy for her brother. But that escalated into an argument where she made a shitty remark about how I apparently don't know what an older sibling looking out for their younger sibling looks like because my parents were too busy cheating on one another to make me a brother or sister. At that point after hearing that, I couldn't help myself and I told her that her nasty ass attitude was the reason Peter cut her off, which made her cry. Am I the asshole for finally reaching the end of the rope and telling my wife the ugly truth?

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_00] Bloody hell, I'm getting huge controlling vibes from Opie's wife. When they went round to the apartment and she started snooping through all the clothes and looking through everything, I was like, oh, bloody hell, here we go. And I can imagine anyone would be concerned if there was a sudden change in behavior with a family member and, you know, you'd want to find out what was going on. But snooping and going through all this is just absolutely awful. But it sounds like Peter's with a woman who got him eating better, sleeping on silk sheets, ooh, lovely, and going for morning runs.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_00] I mean, he sounds like he's pretty happy at this moment and his sister's response to this, again, comes across as controlling. Shaming her, basically calling her a gold digger. And it sounds like it was the reason he didn't want to introduce her in the first place. And then she made a nasty dig at Opie at the same time saying, you know, you know what an older sibling looking after a younger sibling relationship looks like because your parents are too busy cheating on one another to make you a brother or sister. I mean, bloody hell, mate.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00] And a commenter says to Opie, so she called the woman a gold digger, promiscuous tramp and a controlling abuser. Gotcha. And she thinks she's in the right. Got it. And now Peter won't talk to her anymore because she was, checks notes, wrong, mean, and incredibly, gratituously nasty about his girlfriend. All this because he doesn't live like a slovenly bachelor, doesn't drink as much, likes to eat healthier because he feels better when he does, and has taken up occasional running when he's up for it. Your wife is a gaping asshole.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_00] She deserves the radio silence and a ride up to the gates come to Jesus moment from Peter. But to answer your question, no, you're not the asshole. She needed to hear it. She sounds like a honey badger in a fight she started. You wouldn't know what happy family ties are because your parents were too busy cheating on each other. Seriously. What are her good qualities, my man? And how often do you have to remind yourself of them? Commodore says, not the asshole. Your wife sounds pretty judgmental and controlling. She apparently likes to find a scab and rip it off.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_00] Not a good character trait. She needs to get it under control. Commodore says, not the asshole. Well, absolutely not the asshole. I'm wondering about your in-laws' family dynamic. Teasing a family member with a history of depression because he's living a happier, healthier life. Pressuring him into binge drinking. Who does that to a person they love? Hell, who does that to anyone? Another thought is that your wife seems to not have any respect for boundaries. She doesn't seem to show much respect for her sibling, a sibling's partner or you for that matter.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_00] She seems unaware of the effect her behavior has on others. And she doesn't sound very nice. If you have or are thinking of having children with her in the future, you're getting a glimpse of how she's going to treat their future partners. I.e. this is why your son and daughter is going to cut you both off in 30 some odd years. And why you won't meet your grandchildren. I'm not saying this to be mean. I'm saying this because unless something huge changes. If you have kids with someone who acts like this, those kids are going to bail when she blasts their partners and you'll lose them.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_00] If you don't plan on having kids, this is a much smaller problem. You might want to look into couples counseling with the ultimate goal being helping her unravel why she acts this way and correcting it. She might never get her brother back, but hopefully some good will come of it. Opie within the same post adds an update and says, Hey everyone. I honestly didn't expect to get this much feedback under my post, but I just want to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone who offered advice. Now, this isn't an official update, but this is how things have progressed up to this point.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_00] After waking up this morning, reading your comments and doing some quiet assessment of the entire situation, I decided to reach out to Peter. Not on behalf of my wife, not to make excuses for her behavior, but to genuinely check in and make sure that he was truly doing okay. And to let him know that despite it all, if he ever wanted to talk, I'm here. It took a bit of convincing, but I'll be meeting with him tomorrow during my lunch break. Moving on to how things are currently between my wife and I. Since that argument, she's been very frosty, despite the fact that I've tried to apologize to her all day long.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_00] Before she left for work, I told her I was sorry for the way I phrased my words and I would like it if we could sit down, think about the situation rationally, and look at others' perspectives to gain a better understanding. I told her that I really didn't want Valentine's Day to come with us still at odds with one another. That, however, just led to another argument. Apparently to her, it seems as if I'm playing devil's advocate for Sheila. I tried to explain to her that I'm just being honest in my opinion based on that one meeting.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_00] I don't think that Sheila is a gold digger or even trying to change who Peter truly is. I told my wife that Peter is just doing what a lot of guys do when they find someone they truly connect to. They make changes to better themselves for the person they care about. But I guess I was just lighting the match for the fire as my wife responded by saying that apparently I'm only given a good assessment because I find Sheila attractive. I reassured my wife that she is the only woman I find attractive, but by that point she just scoffed and left for work.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_00] This evening after she got back home from work, she said that she had a late lunch with her friends and wasn't in the mood for dinner. When I tried to bring up our earlier discussion, she told me that she now knows that I would never take her side or trust her instincts. After that, she said she couldn't believe I don't see why. She is so concerned for Peter and went to bed. So yeah, that's the way things are for now. Most likely I will update after I catch up with Peter tomorrow. Once again, thank you to everyone for your insight.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_00] On the back of that, a commenter says to OP, I'd be very concerned about what your wife said to you. Either her trust in you is gone or she's willing to say that to you in the heat of the moment, to hurt you, to convince you that you are wrong. I can't think of a reason that isn't concerning. It's a problem that she's so fixated on this. It's a problem that she can't accept you having a different opinion. It's a problem that she treats another person like she treats her brother's girlfriend without some strong justification. It's a problem how she treats you. It's a problem that she's avoiding any resolution.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_00] The commenter says, honestly, your wife sounds nasty. Is she always this degrading of other women? It's showing huge insecurity, which is wild because this is her brother. So at some point later, OP comes in with another update and said, hey guys, it's been a while. Honestly, I wish I had a happier update to give, but it seems like every time I try to take one step forward, I just end up taking three back. My lunch with Peter went great, actually. There was no fuss or stress.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00] At first, we talked about work, the family, and then we gradually shifted the conversation to how things lay with him and my wife. Peter said that my wife was way out of line in suggesting that his girlfriend was a gold digger, and if she and the rest of their siblings had let him get a proper sentence out during their conversation during the holiday period, he would have set them straight and told them that Sheila has her own money and buys basically whatever she wants. Apparently, he said that Sheila even owns a small business back in her home country and earns a decent living for herself here.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_00] He admitted that yes, he buys her gifts, as all boyfriends do for their girlfriends, but those gifts aren't the reason she is with him. Peter said that he and Sheila truly enjoy one another's company. He said that yeah, he went out and bought new stuff like an air fryer for his apartment, but that was because he genuinely wanted those items. He said that Sheila has been teaching him how to cook simple stuff in the crock pot he bought so that he won't turn to DoorDash when she isn't there to make meals. I learned that Sheila has her own appliances in her apartment.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00] What came as a surprise to me though, was the fact that Peter told me he asked Sheila to move in with him, but she declined his offer. He said that her reason was that she doesn't believe in living together before marriage, and she also thinks that it's way too soon, and she doesn't want him to feel suffocated. It's shocking because they've been dating for like nine months, I think, and to me personally, that seems too soon to ask, but hey, to each their own. They're both adults. Out of care and because I read a few comments suggesting that Sheila could possibly be manipulating

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_00] Peter by withholding sex, I casually mentioned to him that if he ever wants to talk about anything, be it ribs or relationship trouble, I'm here. I also just kind of told him that it was good that he and she were waiting a bit to get to know one another on a serious level before doing anything together. Peter said that they wanted to wait because apparently, Sheila doesn't have much experience in that department, and after hearing that, I just wrote off the entire conversation because honestly, as long as he isn't in trouble or being manipulated, I'm good. They could wait for five years as long as they're happy.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_00] Out of care, I also asked Peter if Sheila had made changes as well since their relationship began, and he said that her diet has changed a bit now because of him. He said that once every two or three weeks, I think, he takes her to one of his favorite takeout places, and they get his old to-go order. He said that she watches videos and stuff about fish because he has an interest in fish tanks, etc. During the course of the conversation, I learned that before Peter blocked my wife, she would send him unhinged messages just raging about how wrong Sheila was for him,

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_00] and how she was driving him away from the family so he can be isolated. He laughed after I read that message because he said that Sheila has actually been trying to ensure that Peter feels like he has the support system outside of her. He said that she cooked a whole spread for him and his friends so they could watch during the Super Bowl. She even left after cooking, even though they insisted she stay and watch with them, just so he could spend some more time alone with his friends. The messages didn't stop at that.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_00] My wife had even told him that Sheila was probably just using Peter for citizenship and she wanted to escape her third world country home. Peter said that was the message that solidified his decision to block my wife. All of her messages were completely unfounded. He said that Sheila has been a citizen for a few years now, and she actually has a pretty good house back in her home country. Peter said that Sheila has actually been more open to forgiving my wife than him, that she is very family orientated and hates the idea that others think she is trying to isolate him.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_00] Moving on to the current status of my marriage. My wife has no idea I met with Peter on Friday. I would have told her, but when I got home that evening, she was in a pissy mood because apparently one of her friends said something insensitive. Dinner Friday night was a little less charged. I tried to stay clear from talking about Peter or Sheila, but the messages she sent Peter about his girlfriend's home country still lingered in my mind because yes, I know my wife can be negative at times and downright mean when a temper flies. But the way how she phrased her sentences was downright disgusting like some sort of

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_00] margarine song. It struck a particular nerve because my own mother married and left her home country and married for citizenship. My wife is aware of this fact and she is also aware that I respect all the choices my mother made as it took extreme bravery to come to the US with nothing in your name but some savings. Saturday came around and that was when shit hit the fucking wall. We weren't the best, but things were somewhat calm and my wife decided to rant about the entire situation with Peter again.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_00] I tried my very best to shut it down by saying that yes, I know it still bothers her and I want to try and see how she can try and rebuild her relationship with her brother, but not on Valentine's Day. For a minute or two, she was quiet. I thought that she had agreed that she wanted us to have a nice day, but turns out the only reason she was quiet was because she was looking at Sheila's Instagram. I tried to shift her attention away. I asked if she was excited to see where I was taking her. I asked if she wanted to get dessert at a restaurant or at home.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_00] She just brushed me off until I finally had enough and told her to stop being weird and that most people don't spend hours obsessing over their brother's girlfriend. She shot back by saying I don't care about her or her family and that I am apparently allowing her brother to get taken advantage of just because a pretty woman happens to be doing it. I took a breath and told her calmly that I do care about Peter, but I trust him and his ability to think for himself. And there is a simple way for her to quell her worries. All she has to do is apologize to her brother and ask for the chance to get to know his partner.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_00] She said that she doesn't need to get to know Sheila because she apparently knows girls like Sheila who survive off of, and I quote, nuts and shitty low carb food. I just gave up and told her that she would drive herself mad. We did go out for Valentine's Day, but the vibe was just not there. This evening when she gets home, I'm going to ask her to attend couples counseling with me or if she prefers individual therapy because this is becoming too much. Hope that my next update is better. Thanks for all the advice again.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00] The commenter says, I read and commented on your first post, and now with this update, I will reiterate. Why are you with someone who sounds so awful? Your wife is bitter, shallow, and likely a racist arsehole. Divorce the wife and befriend the brother and Lorena's girlfriend. They sound like much better company to keep. Opie says, Hey, I know that this sounds like a pretty shitty excuse, but my wife and I have been together since we were 22. We got married when we were like 25. She's carried me through some dark times, especially the death of my parents.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00] From the get-go, I knew that she had a pretty close relationship with her siblings, but I didn't envision this. Back when we fell in love, she wasn't so angry. Her words weren't so bitter. She generally wasn't such a hateful person. Sure, she and Peter have always been close, but I've never genuinely seen her act this way towards one of his girlfriends before, and I'm just dumbfounded. I guess the main thing keeping me here is the hope that she returns to the fun-loving, easy-going person she used to be. Commodore says,

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_00] Has your wife always been racist, or is this a new thing? Not the arsehole. Opie says, I swear this has to be a new thing. We've been together for five plus years, and during all that time, I've never heard her make a single racially charged remark. Sure, in the past, she made shitty comments about my family, but nothing racist. Someone says, Is Opie's family the same race as Sheila? Opie says, No, my family is primarily Hispanic, but Sheila is Punjabi. And a lot of people on the back of this one just questioning why the husband is still

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_00] holding on, you know, remembering who she used to be. Some people saying that's loyalty, but basically, loyalty does have a limit. But what do you guys make of this situation? How would you deal with it if it was you? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below, and let's move on to another story. Our next story comes from the Am I the Arsehole Here subreddit, from equivalentmaybe117. And it says, Am I the Arsehole Here not giving girlfriend a spare key?

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_00] I, 27 male, refuse to give my girlfriend the four years, 24 female, a key to my apartment. Not even my parents have a spare key. I have a key to my girlfriend's apartment that she gave me a year ago. I mostly use it to check on her dog during the afternoon, because I get off work around that time. Her dog is fairly destructive when home alone, so he's crated. This is also only done Monday to Wednesday. Thursday on the weekend, my girlfriend doesn't work. Friday, her dog is at a daycare for limited socializing.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_00] He hasn't graduated to full-time according to staff. My girlfriend brought this argument up randomly a few weeks ago. I explained that I wasn't comfortable giving anyone a key to my home. It has nothing to do with her. I even offered to give back her key. She declined because I'm looking after a dog, and occasionally I do like housework. We didn't talk about this much at the time. I think it's because we're out in public. Yesterday, she asked me again why she couldn't have a key. I asked why she needed access to my home.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_00] She said giving her a spare is for emergencies that may occur. I said I could just give my parents a key for that, or even the super can handle it as they have a key. This response set her off, and she's been ignoring me since she left. I don't understand. She's been in my apartment before. It's not like I'm hiding anything. I'm not comparing her to any of my exes. None of them ever had a key either. She doesn't have any of her personal items in my home. Am I the arsehole for not giving her a key? Edits.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_00] My girlfriend has stated she prefers her place over mine, which is why she typically brings an overnight bag when she tries to stay at my place. She hates that instead of a mattress, I sleep on a Japanese floor mattress. I live a minimalist life, as I'm hardly home. If I had a pet or plants, something that would require attention, then someone would have a spare key. Now for me, it just came across more as like, where does this relationship stand? Where is this relationship going, if you like? I mean, you've been together for four years.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_00] You said there's nothing to hide or anything like that. I just, I don't really see what the issue is. It kind of just felt like, again, mentioning the four years, she's been a part of your life and she has less access than your superintendent does. And again, you're allowed boundaries around your own stuff, your own space, etc. But you can't be surprised when she turns around and she's feeling a certain way about it. Like four years you've been with this person and you're just like, still no.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_00] You can't, you're having no access to my apartment, not even for an emergency. A commenter says to OP, Dude, unless you're willing to progress your relationship, I foresee a breakup in your near future. Dakota replies saying, Yeah, dude, basically just told her that the relationship isn't going anywhere. Photo Lilybug says, This is not about the key itself. This is about you sharing your life with her. People are saying you have a right to determine who has access to your space. And that is true. But read between the lines and listen to those of us telling you

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_00] that this is a gauge for her as to where the relationship is. The Vice Sub says, Relationship is at a dead end. And that is plain for us all to see. Us here and her as well. Next Sprinkle says, She's upset because you just told her that the relationship is going nowhere after four years. IHQ replies saying, And that the super is basically closer to him than she is. LOL. Shaking says, Hey now, He would give his parents a key before he gave her one too. Throwaway says, I think if you wanted friends with benefits, not a girlfriend,

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_00] you should have told her three and a half years ago. It's very normal for partners to give each other a key. And it's more about the ease and trust than anything else. At this point, A lot of couples would be looking at moving in together. And having a key is usually the first step. I imagine her frustration is less about the key or wanting access to your space. And more about the lack of trust, intimacy and relationship progression it signifies. Insert reply saying, Looking at moving in together. After four years, a lot of couples were already moved in together.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_00] Four years is a long time to wait before even the live together stage. And Pops McGee says, I don't say this lightly. I know Reddit loves to jump to breakup. She should leave you. You're wasting her time. So OP comes in with a final update saying, Issue solved. I didn't realize that her feelings were upset because I was thinking practical, where she was struggling to ask the questions about our future. I went over to her place with chocolates and a cute keychain.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_00] I apologize for not understanding that it wasn't really about a key. I told her that she doesn't need a key to know that I'm committed to her. I also explained that she doesn't need a key to a place that doesn't feel like a home. I gave her the keychain so when my lease is up and we look for a home together, she will have a place for a key. What? Was I wrong to assume that there was going to be a key on the keychain? What is he doing? The real tinfoil says to OP,

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_00] She complained about not having a key to your place as a symptom of her concerns, about her status in your mind. And your solution was to give her a keychain with no key on it. This was like someone telling you they were starving, and your answer was giving them an empty plate with a promise that there might be food on it next time. You're the arsehole. Soon to be a lonely arsehole. Coffee Noob says, Issue sold. OP gave her an empty keychain. With a clown emoji on the end. Classic reply saying,

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_00] I didn't read the update and I thought you were making a joke. Holy shit. I'm impressed by how he managed to go from gaslighting and deflecting to somehow topping that with the biggest slap in the face. He still won't give her a key because he's looking out for her. She doesn't need it after all. She can just take the keychain for now. Only here says, Quoting, I gave her a keychain so when my lease is up, we can look for a home together and she will have a place for a key. And then says, Bruh, this is the worst update of all time. What a prick move. Wow.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_00] I'd be surprised if she's still around when your lease is up at this rate. Literally denying what she's upset still, and then giving her an empty keychain. This has to be rage bait. In today, says lol, Bro, you gave her an empty keychain as an apology. Did you want to rub it in her face that you don't feel comfortable with her having as much access to you, your place, as you have to her place. Opie so had me on that update. Was like, issue solved. I was like, oh, thank goodness for that. He's seen the ways.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_00] And goes on to say, I didn't realize that her feelings were upset, because she was thinking practical, where she was struggling to ask the questions about your future, and then decides to give her an empty keychain. Ah, bloody Burke. A lot of people just saying on the back of this, that this relationship is going to be done at some point, but, deary me. What do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. Oh, just a huge thank you for being here today, getting involved in the stories,

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_00] your love, your support, your time. It always means the absolute world to me. So thank you so, so much for being here. Truly is absolutely amazing. And hopefully I'm going to see you in the next one. Take care. And much love.
