☠️ I just got to that part 😂😂There is almost a foot difference between my husband and I. I’m going to tell him we are in a long distance relationship 😂😂😂😂
The story on the homesteading story. My sister used to make as much as possible as well (farmer) and her kids friends came over for dinner one night and my sister made pizza. The girl was like this is really good, really fresh where did you get it? My sister said she made it. The girl said no really what brand is it I’ll tell my mom to get it, it’s really good. My sister had to say no, I MADE-MADE it, not just cooked it. She said what do you mean you made it. So my sister listed it,.. i made the dough, ok, i grew the veggies on it, made the tomato sauce from my tomatoes, and the cheese. The kid keeps getting bigger eyes and then at the cheese she said. Even the cheese? You made the cheese? Yep. From goats milk because she had goats not cows. The kid litereally couldnt comprehend making everything in that one pizza,.. then turned to her friend (my sisters daughter) and said your really lucky, my mom wont make anything unless its from a box and trust me she cant cook so we prefer it that way. Kind of gave my bratty niece something to think about when she kept getting mad she had to have homemade not store bought since my sister couldnt afford store bought.
I’d rather home cooked meals any day. I’ve never been that much into fast food. Every now and then as a treat or I’m running late is one thing. My sister eats fast food every single night for at least 2 meals a day. And not sit down food… fast food.
You know what’s insane, is that Beth is *_SO_* obsessed with getting back at Lou, that when she was threatening Lou’s husband Phil, she was basically saying she *DIDN’T GIVE A FUCK* about her own marriage to George and she was willing to torpedo her marriage to George, just to get back at Lou. That’s fucking insane, she’s a psycho.
@@opippy yea, I can’t even say poor George because he’s clearly just a dumb doormat. Can’t feel bad for him, but I can feel proud if he stands up for himself. Like she’s so consumed by her hatred of Lou, she didn’t even give a second thought about, she doesn’t give a fuck about George.
Holy fuck that last one!! This man lacks basic empathy. She JUST lost her mom, she NEEDS to grieve & this man is like GET OVER IT! I hope she breaks up with him. Especially with him saying "i can't change who i am" Apparently he never had empathy to begin with. Good to know. Good luck being alone forever dude. Jesus.
Sophia, homemade butter is SUPER easy. Fill a jar about 3/4 full of heavy cream, tighten the lid, and shake shake shake! The fats of the cream will eventually separate from the liquid and solidify as you shake. The liquid leftover can also be used in cooking.
Beth is awful but Phil is far worse, he cheated on his loving wife with someone who actively is jealous of his wife. Then he says "he caved" trying to make himself look like the victim. He is equally culpable but he is the one who actually betrayed someone he cared about and so personally.
Definitely not lol. My fiance know my phone code ad I knowhow we snoop out of boredom or accidentally do whe we are helping them while they are driving or doing something our heads are tied lol. No reason t snoop like he's a cheater I mostly just look through his music and UA-cam😂 same fr him along with whats phone games I'm playing so he can play too lol. He is sweet fr being 32 and me 23
Think you all are skipping over the fact that the friend was told not to bring something and then brings something that was just made. Why would you bring something to a party when ask not to and that was just had at the last dinner a few days ago? It's was definitely to compete.
On the cow story . . . it oddly reminded me of this woman who worked in a daycare I went to as a kid. My mom would drop me off there in the Morning before going to work and it was a Chruch that would prove breakfast and some play time. It was involved with the school I was going to so the bus would go there to pick us up from the Chruch/Daycare. Anyway, it was at Breakfast that I ask this woman who worked there what the breakfast was. Some sort of meat that I couldn't guess at as it wasn't anything like what my mom had ever made. I was like 7 or something at the time. The woman said it was puppies and I immediately stopped eating and went to school hungry. I asked my mom if she could pack me a breakfast and told her why so my mom confronted the woman and found out upon the Chruch itself investigating the issue that woman had been trying to freak out the kids from wanting meat to make them all Vegetarians. It wasn't the first time this woman did something like this. The Church threw some pretty awesome Holiday parties on Halloween and Christmas with games and prizes and the woman did some sketchy stuff then too. She was fired not for being Vegetarians but for the things she did to the children.
14:28 the second test isn't mature though it's revealing the truth of a real person. How else would they be able to figure out the intentions of her friend. You can't just talk it out because she would just lie so that second test reveal the truth
Saying it's a mature to test her friend is also saying ignorance is bliss and not everyone in the world wants to stay ignorant and Bliss of another person's intentions
Honestly they were wrong on that take. I fully agree with you. The second test wasn’t immature as harper had shown herself for what she truly intended. Olivia would never have believed the boyfriend about it all if they had a sit down conversation. harper would just keep lying.
I met and worked with people that lived with this lifestyle. Not only were they not pretentious about it, they were some of the most kind, humble, supportive people ive ever met in my life Also Im barely finished with the second story and I have to say that if my boyfriend even expressed a single thought about a stupid insecurity after my MOTHER DIED he would be out the door no questions asked. No time for selfish self centered brats.
OMG…. I’m driving while I listen to these stories… I just happened to be taking a sip of water when hearing about the carpentry “distraction”. It was SO funny that I spit out the water. And it went EVERYWHERE 🤣 I honestly don’t remember the last time that happened 😂
Generally, refusing to try a dish a friend or loved one made is very rude IMO. Unless there’s an obvious reason like being vegan or allergic, etc. “I eat meat, but not That meat.” They admit to eating “off diet” foods on occasion. Why couldn’t they humor their friend for one meal? After some critical details!: Meatballs and food etiquette is the least important thing in this story. Yikes. 😬 Cheating is bad, mmkay.
Yeah, I was actually on Beth’s side until the cheating update lol. You invited her, it’s polite for people to bring a dish, dessert, or wine, the fact that she brought meatballs was not a red flag for me, why wouldn’t she want to bring something that everyone has proved to like in the past? Meatballs are hardly unique. And I mean really, why wouldn’t you warn her not to bring meat/dairy if she’s a friend you’re inviting to dinner, even if she’s traveling far and she’s clearly not close enough to know this about you and your family… I didn’t find it shocking at all that Beth was hurt and embarrassed that no one would at least try a meatball she took the time to make for everyone to enjoy. However, I WAS shocked at that cheating story!!! Wowza.
But it’s not “not that meat” it’s specifically “I only eat meat I know was treated and raised well” it’s not like they refused someone specifics meat it’s that they have morals around livestock being treated well and won’t consume meat that they don’t know where comes from. Saying someone should go against their morals just to appease someone being competitive is kinda crazy
I think the idea of "know your cow" is that you only eat the meat if you can verify that the cow was raised and slaughtered humanely, and thats a lot easier to do with small local farms rather than eating meat that comes from cows in factory farms. They dont want to incentivise the cruelty towards animals, but are willing to eat meat of they know for sure the cow had a happy healthy life and was not suffering when it was killed
35:18 same with us. We are not going through life saying we are vegetarian, but of course it's going to come out if they are inviting us to eat or go to a restaurant, and people get all defensive about it. Im not trying to convert anyone, I'm just saying I don't eat meat. But then they star to bombard us with "statistics", "facts" or biblical arguments for their right to eat meat.
I didn't even have to do anything to "test" my friend`s friend`s bf. He failed on his own coming over to try to take me home right in front of my friend who was texting her friend the whole time about what he was doing.
The family doesn't own their own cows, OP specified that phrase just means they know the rancher that provides their meat. They probably have a small house and a small amount of land, but not a full blown farm. That's why her and Lou shared the cow since its probably cheaper that way.
They tested her only because you couldn't trust her word. Ofcourse if people were truthful there'd be no need for testing. That's kinda the whole point of testing.
Last story update (deleted but recovered thru WBM) "The original post has been removed, but here's an update, because I'd like to explain some things. Alright folks, you made it clear. I accept your verdict, I'm the asshole. Sorry for not replying individually, most of the questions were very similar, so I'd like to answer them here: - I couldn't go there, because I was working. I'm not in a financial position where I can risk losing my job. I wasn't just lazy or not in the mood to drive. That still doesn't mean I didn't talk to her until I got there. We talked every day and she knew she can call me whenever she needs to. - I'm not homophobic. I like Brock and his boyfriend, they're both great guys. After reading your comments, I realised I didn't appreciate their help enough. I felt ashamed and guilty for not being there and I projected that anger onto them. I already apologised to them over text, and I hope I'll have the opportunity to do it in person, too. - Yes, I love my girlfriend, adore her, and I wanted nothing more than to help her. I know she's suffering, and it hurts to see her like that. I'm not good with words, I can't cook soup and I don't have a best friend's comforting touch. The only thing I know is wood, and creating something new helped me get through the hardest times in my life. I wanted to share this with her, because I feel like it's the only useful thing I can do. - I mentioned her unwashed hair, because it's something I associate with depression. I grew up living with a depressed mother, I know what it does to a person. I was desperately trying to prevent that from happening, and I failed to realise it's a different situation. - I haven't talked to her since I left, because I didn't want to bother her. I sent her a long apology message, and I told her I'd like to talk this through when/if she feels comfortable with meeting me. If she doesn't want to meet me, I accept that, too. Thank you for your comments and advices, I clearly have a lot of things to work on about myself, this was a huge reality check. Lastly, I'd like to say I'm sorry to everyone in the comment section who lost their parents. Thank you for sharing your feelings and stories, and I'm sorry my post reminded you of that trauma. TL;DR: I couldn't reply individually to people in the comment section, so I'm trying to explain the situation in this post"
My dude, are you autistic? And I'm not meaning that in any kind of a snarky way. I just live with a couple of autistic people and my partner who lives apart from us is also autistic. It seems like you wanted to help in the only way you knew how, but that it was very different from how Neurotypical people grieve. If you have not already been evaluated I think that you should be seen by a neuro- developmental psychiatrist or psychologist. If you have had a history of these kinds of relationship issues or struggled with social situations, or reading social cues, you might very well be neurodivergent If it's true, there are multiple kinds of accommodations and therapies that will help you get along in a world of full of Neurotypical people much more comfortably.
I know a few people who only eat eggs from chickens they know (neighbors, moms, etc) because they want to be ethical in knowing the chickens are treated well.
sam saying "please stop trying to know my cow" and the conversation shifting without acknowledement will not do, i think this is another moment to come back to for free happy brain chemicals. well played, sam.
I agree with Sam. The difference between Harper's "test" and OP's is that in the latter case there was actually a reason to suspect Harper wasn't being loyal to her friend.
A meat appetizer absolutely does not go with a hardy meat meal. I would not want to eat some beef meat balls right before eating a steak for dinner that is way to much beef for one meal
47:01 oooooph I do ask again because I need a direct "no". Life is super busy and I understand stuff happens. It's such a cause of social anxiety for me. Just tell me if you don't want to hang out! It's so cruel to not just tell them it's not going to happen.
So when I was young my grandparents had cows. They gave me one and I named her Betsy. She was there every summer for three years. Then we went to visit and she was gone. We also came home with a lot of steaks, burgers and more. It wasn't until my mom made a meatloaf and my brother asked me how I like Betsy. I stopped eating meat for almost a year.
Sophia, imitating that one guy: She kept saying she would change Sam: She just kept changing the guy she was cheating on me with. *YYYOOOO* that’s fucking hilarious, that’s like her being like: What babe, it was very foggy instructions, idk what _exactly_ you wanted me to change. You weren’t clear, if you think about it, it’s kinda your fault for not being direct with your demands. 😆😂
I have been to Alaska and came home with 55lbs of salmon and 25lbs of halibut but I know people that go to Alaska every year to fish for salmon for the year…and I’m in GA
I don't think there's anything wrong with testing your partner as long as there's precedent like if they have shown examples of shady behavior or being untrustworthy but to do it willy-nilly is definitely a problem and shows that you are the problem not the partner
19:17 I think Sophia means it wasn't a test anymore. It was a set-up. Because OP already knew about Harper. So he set her up... But yeah she (Olivia )needed proof
I lost my dad and sometimes it helps to feel depressed. Yes its good to get out and distract yourself, but by moping around, you actually feel the emotions, you work through them. Abd of course, look at the positive things too, like good memories, but feel free to ve a fucking mess too.
carpenter guy, my dude. it's been HARDLY LIKE 24HOURS LET THE GIRL GRIEVE he's behaving like she spent months just sobbing and willowing if I find out my close family member passed and not only would me partner not be there to comfort me the day off and through the night, but also next morning tell me to get up and do something with myself... I would not have a partner anymore.
25:50 that's not to unbelievable I'm in Dallas and my sister drives a hour to a local farm and that's we're she buys here meat and not going to lie after smelling fresh raw chicken then store bought you'll assume something is wrong with store bought because of how it smells like rotting death
I think so many people jump to "you should immediately leave if you have respect for yourself" - this is true of the cheater openly lied multiple times, gaslighted, or continued to do abusive things. If they are capable of actual change, you will see it and can work towards gaining trust FROM BOTH sides. They also didn't trust you to tell you about the things they were doing. It's all about communicating, recreating boundaries as the relationship changes, and both parties need to be actively seeking and fixing the relationship. Sometimes it's too much trust gone and you have to realize if it's you that can't move forward honestly. People make mistakes, and when you decide you love someone's soul, you love them through the mistakes if they realize they made a mistake. If they can't do the same for you, it's also best to move on. It's never so easy to just leave because they hurt you. Everyone will hurt you at some point, if they love you, they will actively try to fix the mistake with you.
People be stupid. Harper was going to cheat and go all the way. She would have blame op saying he raped her sense she was drunk or blame Olivia saying she should have try harder to keep her man. Op needs to leave Olivia. She called up narrow minded fron not understanding the test and op isnt good enough in looks for other to find him attractive. She literally making op sounds like he was in the wrong for being uncomfortable and his thoughts of wanting her to drop her friend. She had to hard core evidence sent from harper herself to even believe op. Disguising
I don't think OP needs to leave Olivia if he's happy with her now. Honestly if I was in the situation, I'd believe my partner right away because I know my best friend would never do that, but for others it's hard to believe. It's a weird situation going on with Harper trying to excuse her initial actions as just a test and in the era of weird trends and "loyalty tests", it's not entirely hard to believe why Olivia thought what she thought. You don't want to believe that your best friend would ever do something like this. But it happens and Olivia believes it now. Also Olivia didn't say OP was unattractive, she just said OP wouldn't have been her friends type (which is untrue apparently because Harper is a little b). People are attracted to different people. For me, I love my boyfriend more than anything and height doesn't matter to me, however he's 5'4 and had talked about feeling insecure about not being attractive in his teen years because he's a small person. I love him regardless, but we know dating can be a bit hard if you're a short king. That's just how life is. Not everyone will be attracted to you. OP doesn't need to blow up the relationship like so many people on Reddit and UA-cam says he should over this.
The way people villainize vegans is really weird. I personally am not vegan, but I can’t fathom being annoyed at someone over the way they choose to eat. It just comes across as very ignorant and immature.
I'm not a vegan either and I agree that I can't understand being annoyed by what other people eat. However, it goes both ways. Vegans tend to villainize people who eat animal products.
Nothing weird about it. It's a reactance reaction when people try to forcefully convert you. The specific religion doesn't even matter. There is some truth to the old joke: "A vegan, an Apple user and a Jehovah's Witness entered a bar. How do I know? After ten seconds the whole ducking bar knew!" 😂
Just to Note: it is important to match your appetizers with what you eat. The meatballs are on the heavier side and in some dinners could be the entree. Knowing that the steak was already a heavy meal then you don’t bring a heavy appetizer. This is why course meals have to consider balancing out not only the flavor but the “heavy” factor
Yes! I was so confused when they called it pretentious like no meat balls did not fit the meal! I would not want to eat an all beef appetizer right before eating steak for dinner that is way to much beef your stomach would be a brick
So the frustrating part is not that there is a 7 year age gap, but that he is complaining about his 23 year old gf, not being on HIS maturity level. No shit, Sherlock. 23 and 30 are worlds apart, not just 7years. So annoying, it should be on r/ohno,consequences!
I agree that he brought up the height issue because it does make her probably look much much younger to him than if she was closer to his height. People unfortunately assume a short person is younger even if just on an unconscious level. I have one friend that is older than me, but is like 4' 10 and I'm 5' 8". She does kind of look much younger than me.
I had a friend who was like a 6’4 guy and people constantly gave me concerned looks when they saw me, a 5’2 girl out with him, I can definitely see why mentioning the height is relevant people get concerned seeing small woman with large guys
for me...Harper should have been better..like harper clearly didn't want to be caught/was upset about him telling the girlfriend and knew she could have been in trouble. she was ablet to ue the idea of 'testing him' as a excuse and sort of got away with it. the dude even said he could let it slide because she was clearly drunk before...I feel like the second test could have worked out well if harper had decided to not bite at the bait as it would have assured the guy that it was about her being drunk and that the original one really was a test(or at the very least she has accepted he wasn't interested and wasn't going to try anymore after getting away with the test excuse). Harper failed the test through which showed she was a bad friend and honestly that she's kindof dumb becuase the dude was CLEAR about not being interested before to the point he told the girlfriend and this was a subjetc of conversation and he's moving in with said girlfriend...and yet she ACTUALLY thought she had a chance? and was willing to risk the friendship a second time despite her panic at the initial attempt not working and being outed..
Keep in mind im 38 yrs old and i was in a bad mental state last year. My aunt said i could feed this bby cow to help. So i fed a bby cow over a summer who danced when he ate. Later that year my mom made me a plate of food and didnt tell me on purpose what i was eating. After i swallowed she said “is that good? Its that baby cow”… i forced a puke and burried it. The audacity. Id like to blame the m3th for her actions but i cant. Who does that? Her excuse was well the dogs chased it and it broke its neck. …… i cant with some people. Ill never eat her food again. I also hide all of her BUG spray now when i come around bc shes deathly afraid of any bugs. Lmao
The whole “height difference” struggles are real!! Lol I’m 5 ‘2 1/2 and my fiancé is 6’5. I do look like a child standing next to him. Even though I’m 3 years older. So I kinda understood his point… a little bit anyway. And OP was NOT the a hole. He helped Olivia learn the truth. It’s really sad but I do agree with Sam.
I wonder how Lou acted when she started dating the guy who rejected Beth? Was she an A-hole about it and THAT'S why Beth has been competing with Lou ever since? Things that make you go..."Hmmmmmmm"😂
I agree with the boyfriend teaching her carpentry ... I guess it's a different way to see things. I always helps me being busy with new things to overcome sadness of all kinds and levels. But only on the first suggestion . Not the rest of the assholery
38:45 PLOT TWIST!!! Whaaaat!? This story was making me so mad at OP. But whaaaat!??😂😂😂 I'm here trying to remember every individual cow, salmon and chicken eggs' names in this story while beth is screwing Lous' husband Wiiild
I think the last OP needs to go to therapy. This is a serious suggestion because he seems like the type to try to resolve mental issues on his own while totally lacking introspection. It can still be hard for introspective people to resolve certain things, so this would be a extra terrible combo. To have that great of a lack of empathy usually means massive untreated trauma, poor childrearing (e.g. emotionally stunted parents), or untreated mental disorders (e.g. antisocial personality disorders). Either way, he'd benefit from talking to a professional. Maybe he can deal with his intense discomfort/jealousy surrounding other men as well. He acted like he needed to play guard dog to his girlfriend over someone he knows isn't a romantic rival, and all these things combined sound like a massive toxic cocktail that he needs to do figure out with a trained professional.
I don't think him testing the friend was wrong at all. He told his girlfriend the truth, she was struggling to accept it because she loved her friend, and he needed to prove it early before she caused more issues in their relationship. The friend wasn't going to admit it anyway, and it would be worse if he engaged with the friend privately and then came to his gf with the nudes because then the gf could think he somehow asked for them. Doing the test right in front of her so she can see it happen live was a great way to show to her what's up.
I feel like the only people that feel like tests are betrayals are the ones not prepared to pass it. Test me...idc.... We can laugh together at how you thought and go on stronger than before. But idk 🤷♀️ maybe that's just me
Personally I think it’s weird alone that that older ass guy would go along with her friends without her in the first place 😂 idk my husband would be like ummm no thanks. That is weird as hell to me, sorry! He knows my friends and thinks fondly of them, and same for myself and his friends. Still wouldn’t happen.
My guess is he wanted to get know her friends, and sounds like he was already trying to find something to do. Probably just thought win win, something to do and a chance to get to know her friends better
I don't give explanations when I decline an invitation. If I want to spend time with them but have plans for that day, I say I can't that day, I'm already booked, can we choose a different day. If I want to spend time with them, but I don't want to do the activity, I say, I'd love to spend time with you but that activity is out of my comfort zone or something like that. If I don't want to spend time with them I thank them for the invite but just say I can't go. I've only had a few people persist after being rejected more than once and I often take the time to say, I'm sorry but my life is so full at this time I'm not really looking for another friend. If you share what you're doing you risk that person being offended by you attending something they deem less important than them or their event. If they are rude enough to ask what's so important I can't change plans I just say it's something I've committed to and I try to honor my commitments. BTW if an invitation comes with and RSVP, it is RUDE not to respond within a reasonable amount of time.
Imagine all the people who wouldn't have a clue they were being cheated on if they hadn't checked a phone, who were being manipulated. People can hide all sorts. I know of 2 married men (married to women) who are out screwing a ton of men, wives are clueless, ignorance is bliss, maybe the wives should check their husbands' phones one time. Some people are pathological.
i see nothing wrong with someone eating only locally-sourced foods, and in fact, i encourage it. the amount of abuse and improper nutrition in the meat and dairy industries is appalling - do NOT get me started on feeding only corn to ruminants. pasture-fed animals are much better quality, especially if they’re handled with care. stress can cause the cow’s body to release cortisol, which affects the quality of the meat. i went to school for sustainable agriculture, and two of the most important things you can give to a farm animal are a good life and a quick, painless death, free from fear (this is mainly where the cortisol thing comes in, but a cow’s meat reduces in quality from consistent cortisol release during its lifetime). my instructor named all of her animals- dairy and beef cattle, goats, pigs, chickens, etc. we practiced meat processing on a goat named “chamomile cow,” whose mother i had met the year prior. my instructor cried when she dispatched him because of course it’s hard, but she felt so strongly that she gave chamomile cloud the BEST and happiest life possible, and now it was his turn to give back. she said it in much more eloquent terms, but it was a circle of life mentality where humans and animals work hand in hand to thrive and benefit each other. THAT BEING SAID: OP should’ve mentioned their diet way way before, especially if they’re hosting a dinner, which people often bring food to. i’m sure OP even eats store bought meat on rare occasions when it’s not possible (example: traveling or going to a restaurant), but she just clearly didn’t like beth. wild ending to come from some meatballs tho
7 years really isn’t that bad IMO my mom and dad have a 7 year gap and they’ve been happily married for over 30 years, but also you have to be compatible lol my dad is immature and my mom is mature even though my dad is older he’s never acted like it 🙄🤣 but he’s also the youngest child so 🤷♀️
My partner and I are only 2 years about but I was 18 when we started dating (17 when we met) and people still call him disgusting for the age gap people are crazy (and no we didn’t wait until I was 18 or anything that just happened to be when we got closer)
Until you work at a butchering facility that processes the hormone and steroid pumped non organic meat, you really shouldn’t laugh at this. Most of the meat In stores has been through it, and those steroids and hormones transfer to humans once ingested. It has been proven that since these things have been added to cattle and poultry, that little girls are averaging starting their periods years sooner than before, and steroids can cause all kinds of issues in children and adults. It’s actually pretty scary stuff.
"conspiracy theory; I think the title of the story will happen!" uh.. it's no longer a theory when you have proof. The "know the cow" is suuuuch a good way of life. I grew up like that. If you watch any of those videos of cattle yard horror stories... I don't want a cow that had a giant abcess that they just cut off and gave me the meat around it, or a cow that has been shoved into the slaughter room by a bulldozer because they are too weak to walk. Both of those are things your store bought meat have probably experienced.
I personally disagree with the OP in the second story, in my opinion Beth was just trying to be noce and felt proud pf the meatballs she made, also it's etiquette to bring food over when you're invited to dinner. I also find hard to believe what OP says abt current jealousy since they meet each others a once every few years. EDIT: I didn't expect that turn of events, Beth is disgusting
It doesn't. However, it means that you know the animal was well cared for & ate good things, so the meat isn't going to be bad or full of hormones, Mad Cow & whatnot. Also, you don't want to patronize a known animal abuser.
As they said that’s just a wording to make it easier for their kids what they actually mean is they source their meat. They buy from huge operations that do not treat their animals well, there is a lot of nastiness in the meat industry. They buy local farms where the animals are treated properly (which is also healthier for you as the well treated cows tend to have better healthier diets that make their meat healthier)
I grew up on a small farmstead out in the middle of the woods in western Washington state in the United States. We raised a few cattle over the years and several pigs and had dairy goats for a few years. We grew a garden and this is how it's been for many families for a really long time. One time, we butchered a goat and instead of my grandmother writing the words "goat meat" or chèvre on the packages… She wrote "Sandra." 😂😂😂😂
Having a small farmstead often means that you have to borrow with local gardeners and local farmers. It's a totally normal thing and people just need to calm the fuck down.
On story one, I have a different opinion on phone looking. With phone looking, you have to check up with your partner. Determine what kind of people you are. Are you the type of person who trusts your partner to not look at your phone? Or are you the type of person who trusts your partner enough to look at your phone whenever they want? I am the second one. It works for my partner and I. We trust each other so much that going through the phone whenever is just okay. And it’s not like you’re checking it every week. It’s an intrusive thought that I think isn’t a bad thought. I simply don’t care what my partner looks at because I don’t have anything to hide. Like maybe every 5 months I might look. It’s really random. It doesn’t mean I don’t trust him. And he has the same option for me. If he wants to look, I’ll immediately give it to him and I’ll even say “go ahead. I trust you.” My point is, I only let those I love and trust on my phone. And he’s one of those people.
Not Sam saying “ you have to crane.” And Riley responding “that’s a long distance relationship “ 😂😂😂😂
I knowwwww I’m happy you found that equally as hilarious!! And the sound effects were butter on the bread 🤣💀
@@tanyablades6618 the sound effects were chef's kiss perfection 🙌🏾🙌🏾
☠️ I just got to that part 😂😂There is almost a foot difference between my husband and I. I’m going to tell him we are in a long distance relationship 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My parents are a bit over a foot difference in height my dad is about 6’6. He’s not wrong lol
Riley your long distance joke made me laugh 😂
The laugh track was sooo good
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣
The story on the homesteading story. My sister used to make as much as possible as well (farmer) and her kids friends came over for dinner one night and my sister made pizza. The girl was like this is really good, really fresh where did you get it? My sister said she made it. The girl said no really what brand is it I’ll tell my mom to get it, it’s really good. My sister had to say no, I MADE-MADE it, not just cooked it. She said what do you mean you made it. So my sister listed it,.. i made the dough, ok, i grew the veggies on it, made the tomato sauce from my tomatoes, and the cheese. The kid keeps getting bigger eyes and then at the cheese she said. Even the cheese? You made the cheese? Yep. From goats milk because she had goats not cows. The kid litereally couldnt comprehend making everything in that one pizza,.. then turned to her friend (my sisters daughter) and said your really lucky, my mom wont make anything unless its from a box and trust me she cant cook so we prefer it that way. Kind of gave my bratty niece something to think about when she kept getting mad she had to have homemade not store bought since my sister couldnt afford store bought.
I’d rather home cooked meals any day. I’ve never been that much into fast food. Every now and then as a treat or I’m running late is one thing. My sister eats fast food every single night for at least 2 meals a day. And not sit down food… fast food.
You know what’s insane, is that Beth is *_SO_* obsessed with getting back at Lou, that when she was threatening Lou’s husband Phil, she was basically saying she *DIDN’T GIVE A FUCK* about her own marriage to George and she was willing to torpedo her marriage to George, just to get back at Lou. That’s fucking insane, she’s a psycho.
That's exactly what I was thinking. She doesn't care about George at all...
@@opippy yea, I can’t even say poor George because he’s clearly just a dumb doormat. Can’t feel bad for him, but I can feel proud if he stands up for himself. Like she’s so consumed by her hatred of Lou, she didn’t even give a second thought about, she doesn’t give a fuck about George.
If I was George I just out of spite I’d say something like “I always thought Lou was very cute anyways, and she’s single now “😂😂😂😂
Holy fuck that last one!!
This man lacks basic empathy. She JUST lost her mom, she NEEDS to grieve & this man is like GET OVER IT! I hope she breaks up with him. Especially with him saying "i can't change who i am" Apparently he never had empathy to begin with. Good to know. Good luck being alone forever dude. Jesus.
'It's never about the meatballs' so true!
I imagine the carpenter bf saying, "Now that your Mom is gone, you REALLY need to learn how to take care of yourself because you're all alone now." 😂🔨
Sophia, homemade butter is SUPER easy. Fill a jar about 3/4 full of heavy cream, tighten the lid, and shake shake shake! The fats of the cream will eventually separate from the liquid and solidify as you shake. The liquid leftover can also be used in cooking.
I'm gonna try this! I use heavy cream day.
Beth is awful but Phil is far worse, he cheated on his loving wife with someone who actively is jealous of his wife.
Then he says "he caved" trying to make himself look like the victim. He is equally culpable but he is the one who actually betrayed someone he cared about and so personally.
Opie is not immature for testing his girlfriend's friend, he is a freaking legend!!!!
“Opie” lol
Opie huh 😂
How cute, Opie
Definitely not lol. My fiance know my phone code ad I knowhow we snoop out of boredom or accidentally do whe we are helping them while they are driving or doing something our heads are tied lol. No reason t snoop like he's a cheater I mostly just look through his music and UA-cam😂 same fr him along with whats phone games I'm playing so he can play too lol. He is sweet fr being 32 and me 23
Think you all are skipping over the fact that the friend was told not to bring something and then brings something that was just made. Why would you bring something to a party when ask not to and that was just had at the last dinner a few days ago? It's was definitely to compete.
On the cow story . . . it oddly reminded me of this woman who worked in a daycare I went to as a kid. My mom would drop me off there in the Morning before going to work and it was a Chruch that would prove breakfast and some play time. It was involved with the school I was going to so the bus would go there to pick us up from the Chruch/Daycare. Anyway, it was at Breakfast that I ask this woman who worked there what the breakfast was. Some sort of meat that I couldn't guess at as it wasn't anything like what my mom had ever made. I was like 7 or something at the time. The woman said it was puppies and I immediately stopped eating and went to school hungry. I asked my mom if she could pack me a breakfast and told her why so my mom confronted the woman and found out upon the Chruch itself investigating the issue that woman had been trying to freak out the kids from wanting meat to make them all Vegetarians. It wasn't the first time this woman did something like this. The Church threw some pretty awesome Holiday parties on Halloween and Christmas with games and prizes and the woman did some sketchy stuff then too. She was fired not for being Vegetarians but for the things she did to the children.
"ITS A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Beth said, you know who won’t reject me or my meatballs Lou? Your husband! 🫢🤯
14:28 the second test isn't mature though it's revealing the truth of a real person. How else would they be able to figure out the intentions of her friend. You can't just talk it out because she would just lie so that second test reveal the truth
Saying it's a mature to test her friend is also saying ignorance is bliss and not everyone in the world wants to stay ignorant and Bliss of another person's intentions
Honestly they were wrong on that take. I fully agree with you. The second test wasn’t immature as harper had shown herself for what she truly intended. Olivia would never have believed the boyfriend about it all if they had a sit down conversation. harper would just keep lying.
If could eat the way OP can - I would totally do it.
Edit: the way my mouth dropped at the hearing the cheating 😮🫠
I met and worked with people that lived with this lifestyle.
Not only were they not pretentious about it, they were some of the most kind, humble, supportive people ive ever met in my life
Also Im barely finished with the second story and I have to say that if my boyfriend even expressed a single thought about a stupid insecurity after my MOTHER DIED he would be out the door no questions asked. No time for selfish self centered brats.
OMG…. I’m driving while I listen to these stories… I just happened to be taking a sip of water when hearing about the carpentry “distraction”. It was SO funny that I spit out the water. And it went EVERYWHERE 🤣 I honestly don’t remember the last time that happened 😂
Generally, refusing to try a dish a friend or loved one made is very rude IMO. Unless there’s an obvious reason like being vegan or allergic, etc. “I eat meat, but not That meat.” They admit to eating “off diet” foods on occasion. Why couldn’t they humor their friend for one meal?
After some critical details!: Meatballs and food etiquette is the least important thing in this story. Yikes. 😬 Cheating is bad, mmkay.
Yeah, I was actually on Beth’s side until the cheating update lol. You invited her, it’s polite for people to bring a dish, dessert, or wine, the fact that she brought meatballs was not a red flag for me, why wouldn’t she want to bring something that everyone has proved to like in the past? Meatballs are hardly unique. And I mean really, why wouldn’t you warn her not to bring meat/dairy if she’s a friend you’re inviting to dinner, even if she’s traveling far and she’s clearly not close enough to know this about you and your family… I didn’t find it shocking at all that Beth was hurt and embarrassed that no one would at least try a meatball she took the time to make for everyone to enjoy. However, I WAS shocked at that cheating story!!! Wowza.
But it’s not “not that meat” it’s specifically “I only eat meat I know was treated and raised well” it’s not like they refused someone specifics meat it’s that they have morals around livestock being treated well and won’t consume meat that they don’t know where comes from. Saying someone should go against their morals just to appease someone being competitive is kinda crazy
I think the idea of "know your cow" is that you only eat the meat if you can verify that the cow was raised and slaughtered humanely, and thats a lot easier to do with small local farms rather than eating meat that comes from cows in factory farms. They dont want to incentivise the cruelty towards animals, but are willing to eat meat of they know for sure the cow had a happy healthy life and was not suffering when it was killed
35:18 same with us. We are not going through life saying we are vegetarian, but of course it's going to come out if they are inviting us to eat or go to a restaurant, and people get all defensive about it. Im not trying to convert anyone, I'm just saying I don't eat meat. But then they star to bombard us with "statistics", "facts" or biblical arguments for their right to eat meat.
I didn't even have to do anything to "test" my friend`s friend`s bf. He failed on his own coming over to try to take me home right in front of my friend who was texting her friend the whole time about what he was doing.
The family doesn't own their own cows, OP specified that phrase just means they know the rancher that provides their meat. They probably have a small house and a small amount of land, but not a full blown farm. That's why her and Lou shared the cow since its probably cheaper that way.
Lol to the laugh track Riley
Comment on story number one: let’s not test people, talk it out, discuss it out. If they don’t meet your needs, peace out. Testing is always unfair.
I would usually agree with you that testing is bad. but in this case I think he did the right thing
More like let’s normalize NOT dating someone almost a whole generation after you 😵💫
They tested her only because you couldn't trust her word. Ofcourse if people were truthful there'd be no need for testing. That's kinda the whole point of testing.

Last story update (deleted but recovered thru WBM)
"The original post has been removed, but here's an update, because I'd like to explain some things.
Alright folks, you made it clear. I accept your verdict, I'm the asshole.
Sorry for not replying individually, most of the questions were very similar, so I'd like to answer them here:
- I couldn't go there, because I was working. I'm not in a financial position where I can risk losing my job. I wasn't just lazy or not in the mood to drive. That still doesn't mean I didn't talk to her until I got there. We talked every day and she knew she can call me whenever she needs to.
- I'm not homophobic. I like Brock and his boyfriend, they're both great guys. After reading your comments, I realised I didn't appreciate their help enough. I felt ashamed and guilty for not being there and I projected that anger onto them. I already apologised to them over text, and I hope I'll have the opportunity to do it in person, too.
- Yes, I love my girlfriend, adore her, and I wanted nothing more than to help her. I know she's suffering, and it hurts to see her like that. I'm not good with words, I can't cook soup and I don't have a best friend's comforting touch. The only thing I know is wood, and creating something new helped me get through the hardest times in my life. I wanted to share this with her, because I feel like it's the only useful thing I can do.
- I mentioned her unwashed hair, because it's something I associate with depression. I grew up living with a depressed mother, I know what it does to a person. I was desperately trying to prevent that from happening, and I failed to realise it's a different situation.
- I haven't talked to her since I left, because I didn't want to bother her. I sent her a long apology message, and I told her I'd like to talk this through when/if she feels comfortable with meeting me. If she doesn't want to meet me, I accept that, too.
Thank you for your comments and advices, I clearly have a lot of things to work on about myself, this was a huge reality check.
Lastly, I'd like to say I'm sorry to everyone in the comment section who lost their parents. Thank you for sharing your feelings and stories, and I'm sorry my post reminded you of that trauma.
TL;DR: I couldn't reply individually to people in the comment section, so I'm trying to explain the situation in this post"
My dude, are you autistic? And I'm not meaning that in any kind of a snarky way.
I just live with a couple of autistic people and my partner who lives apart from us is also autistic.
It seems like you wanted to help in the only way you knew how, but that it was very different from how Neurotypical people grieve.
If you have not already been evaluated I think that you should be seen by a neuro- developmental psychiatrist or psychologist.
If you have had a history of these kinds of relationship issues or struggled with social situations, or reading social cues, you might very well be neurodivergent
If it's true, there are multiple kinds of accommodations and therapies that will help you get along in a world of full of Neurotypical people much more comfortably.
They made pasta the night before, so Lou's meatballs went with meal
I know a few people who only eat eggs from chickens they know (neighbors, moms, etc) because they want to be ethical in knowing the chickens are treated well.
lol @ Riley - “That’s a long distance relationship.”
As a 5’1” individual I dated someone 6’3” and yes…it is.
Should swap. Eachothers clothes and act like eachother and see if anybody notices 🤫
Just throwing this out there; in order to be a boyfriend stealer, he has to have been her boyfriend in the first place
sam saying "please stop trying to know my cow" and the conversation shifting without acknowledement will not do, i think this is another moment to come back to for free happy brain chemicals. well played, sam.
Nice zinger Big Protein… “long distance relationship”😂
Edit: auto correct changed big to bug. Lol bug protein
9:08 i like the joke 🤣
I agree with Sam. The difference between Harper's "test" and OP's is that in the latter case there was actually a reason to suspect Harper wasn't being loyal to her friend.
Yeah Sophie finally remembered the phone number!
A meat appetizer absolutely does not go with a hardy meat meal. I would not want to eat some beef meat balls right before eating a steak for dinner that is way to much beef for one meal
47:01 oooooph I do ask again because I need a direct "no". Life is super busy and I understand stuff happens.
It's such a cause of social anxiety for me. Just tell me if you don't want to hang out! It's so cruel to not just tell them it's not going to happen.
So when I was young my grandparents had cows. They gave me one and I named her Betsy. She was there every summer for three years. Then we went to visit and she was gone. We also came home with a lot of steaks, burgers and more.
It wasn't until my mom made a meatloaf and my brother asked me how I like Betsy. I stopped eating meat for almost a year.
Sophia, imitating that one guy: She kept saying she would change
Sam: She just kept changing the guy she was cheating on me with.
*YYYOOOO* that’s fucking hilarious, that’s like her being like: What babe, it was very foggy instructions, idk what _exactly_ you wanted me to change. You weren’t clear, if you think about it, it’s kinda your fault for not being direct with your demands.
😆😂
Am i the only one who thinks OP should 'test' Harper? 😂😂
I would like to see how Olivia would feel about that😂
Big time ICU I know exactly what's coming.
I have been to Alaska and came home with 55lbs of salmon and 25lbs of halibut but I know people that go to Alaska every year to fish for salmon for the year…and I’m in GA
My momma fishes up there to stock up. We live in CO so there are options here too but fresh caught Alaskan fish is another level.
I don't think there's anything wrong with testing your partner as long as there's precedent like if they have shown examples of shady behavior or being untrustworthy but to do it willy-nilly is definitely a problem and shows that you are the problem not the partner
19:17 I think Sophia means it wasn't a test anymore. It was a set-up. Because OP already knew about Harper. So he set her up... But yeah she (Olivia )needed proof
I lost my dad and sometimes it helps to feel depressed. Yes its good to get out and distract yourself, but by moping around, you actually feel the emotions, you work through them. Abd of course, look at the positive things too, like good memories, but feel free to ve a fucking mess too.
carpenter guy, my dude. it's been HARDLY LIKE 24HOURS LET THE GIRL GRIEVE he's behaving like she spent months just sobbing and willowing
if I find out my close family member passed and not only would me partner not be there to comfort me the day off and through the night, but also next morning tell me to get up and do something with myself... I would not have a partner anymore.
25:50 that's not to unbelievable I'm in Dallas and my sister drives a hour to a local farm and that's we're she buys here meat and not going to lie after smelling fresh raw chicken then store bought you'll assume something is wrong with store bought because of how it smells like rotting death
Im a vegetarian and I totally get this. 😂
I think so many people jump to "you should immediately leave if you have respect for yourself" - this is true of the cheater openly lied multiple times, gaslighted, or continued to do abusive things. If they are capable of actual change, you will see it and can work towards gaining trust FROM BOTH sides. They also didn't trust you to tell you about the things they were doing. It's all about communicating, recreating boundaries as the relationship changes, and both parties need to be actively seeking and fixing the relationship. Sometimes it's too much trust gone and you have to realize if it's you that can't move forward honestly. People make mistakes, and when you decide you love someone's soul, you love them through the mistakes if they realize they made a mistake. If they can't do the same for you, it's also best to move on. It's never so easy to just leave because they hurt you. Everyone will hurt you at some point, if they love you, they will actively try to fix the mistake with you.
People be stupid. Harper was going to cheat and go all the way. She would have blame op saying he raped her sense she was drunk or blame Olivia saying she should have try harder to keep her man.
Op needs to leave Olivia. She called up narrow minded fron not understanding the test and op isnt good enough in looks for other to find him attractive. She literally making op sounds like he was in the wrong for being uncomfortable and his thoughts of wanting her to drop her friend. She had to hard core evidence sent from harper herself to even believe op. Disguising
I don't think OP needs to leave Olivia if he's happy with her now. Honestly if I was in the situation, I'd believe my partner right away because I know my best friend would never do that, but for others it's hard to believe. It's a weird situation going on with Harper trying to excuse her initial actions as just a test and in the era of weird trends and "loyalty tests", it's not entirely hard to believe why Olivia thought what she thought. You don't want to believe that your best friend would ever do something like this. But it happens and Olivia believes it now. Also Olivia didn't say OP was unattractive, she just said OP wouldn't have been her friends type (which is untrue apparently because Harper is a little b). People are attracted to different people. For me, I love my boyfriend more than anything and height doesn't matter to me, however he's 5'4 and had talked about feeling insecure about not being attractive in his teen years because he's a small person. I love him regardless, but we know dating can be a bit hard if you're a short king. That's just how life is. Not everyone will be attracted to you. OP doesn't need to blow up the relationship like so many people on Reddit and UA-cam says he should over this.
2-3 marathons a year isn’t a lot lol
That last one....... Wow. Just... WOW.
This was a great episode... But what's the "parking fairy" thing?
The way people villainize vegans is really weird. I personally am not vegan, but I can’t fathom being annoyed at someone over the way they choose to eat. It just comes across as very ignorant and immature.
I'm not a vegan either and I agree that I can't understand being annoyed by what other people eat. However, it goes both ways. Vegans tend to villainize people who eat animal products.
Nothing weird about it. It's a reactance reaction when people try to forcefully convert you. The specific religion doesn't even matter.
There is some truth to the old joke: "A vegan, an Apple user and a Jehovah's Witness entered a bar. How do I know? After ten seconds the whole ducking bar knew!" 😂
@@brag0001 I haven’t met a single vegan in real life that gave a single shit that I eat meat lmao
Big brother approved his sister’s golden rule lol
Just to Note: it is important to match your appetizers with what you eat. The meatballs are on the heavier side and in some dinners could be the entree. Knowing that the steak was already a heavy meal then you don’t bring a heavy appetizer. This is why course meals have to consider balancing out not only the flavor but the “heavy” factor
Yes! I was so confused when they called it pretentious like no meat balls did not fit the meal! I would not want to eat an all beef appetizer right before eating steak for dinner that is way to much beef your stomach would be a brick
So the frustrating part is not that there is a 7 year age gap, but that he is complaining about his 23 year old gf, not being on HIS maturity level. No shit, Sherlock. 23 and 30 are worlds apart, not just 7years.
So annoying, it should be on r/ohno,consequences!
He never complained about his gfs maturity he specifically says she’s very mature he says her FRIENDS are immature
I agree that he brought up the height issue because it does make her probably look much much younger to him than if she was closer to his height.
People unfortunately assume a short person is younger even if just on an unconscious level. I have one friend that is older than me, but is like 4' 10 and I'm 5' 8". She does kind of look much younger than me.
I had a friend who was like a 6’4 guy and people constantly gave me concerned looks when they saw me, a 5’2 girl out with him, I can definitely see why mentioning the height is relevant people get concerned seeing small woman with large guys
for me...Harper should have been better..like harper clearly didn't want to be caught/was upset about him telling the girlfriend and knew she could have been in trouble. she was ablet to ue the idea of 'testing him' as a excuse and sort of got away with it. the dude even said he could let it slide because she was clearly drunk before...I feel like the second test could have worked out well if harper had decided to not bite at the bait as it would have assured the guy that it was about her being drunk and that the original one really was a test(or at the very least she has accepted he wasn't interested and wasn't going to try anymore after getting away with the test excuse). Harper failed the test through which showed she was a bad friend and honestly that she's kindof dumb becuase the dude was CLEAR about not being interested before to the point he told the girlfriend and this was a subjetc of conversation and he's moving in with said girlfriend...and yet she ACTUALLY thought she had a chance? and was willing to risk the friendship a second time despite her panic at the initial attempt not working and being outed..
Keep in mind im 38 yrs old and i was in a bad mental state last year. My aunt said i could feed this bby cow to help. So i fed a bby cow over a summer who danced when he ate. Later that year my mom made me a plate of food and didnt tell me on purpose what i was eating. After i swallowed she said “is that good? Its that baby cow”… i forced a puke and burried it. The audacity. Id like to blame the m3th for her actions but i cant. Who does that? Her excuse was well the dogs chased it and it broke its neck. …… i cant with some people. Ill never eat her food again. I also hide all of her BUG spray now when i come around bc shes deathly afraid of any bugs. Lmao
The OP with the “test.” I find it odd that Olivia is moving from her parents house to her boyfriends house. Also, in less than a year….. strange.
Someone drunk the cool aid
Being in a relationship is already a two way everyday test with your partner
The whole “height difference” struggles are real!! Lol I’m 5 ‘2 1/2 and my fiancé is 6’5. I do look like a child standing next to him. Even though I’m 3 years older. So I kinda understood his point… a little bit anyway. And OP was NOT the a hole. He helped Olivia learn the truth. It’s really sad but I do agree with Sam.
I wonder how Lou acted when she started dating the guy who rejected Beth? Was she an A-hole about it and THAT'S why Beth has been competing with Lou ever since?
Things that make you go..."Hmmmmmmm"😂
Poor Lou
I agree with the boyfriend teaching her carpentry ... I guess it's a different way to see things. I always helps me being busy with new things to overcome sadness of all kinds and levels. But only on the first suggestion . Not the rest of the assholery
38:45 PLOT TWIST!!! Whaaaat!? This story was making me so mad at OP. But whaaaat!??😂😂😂
I'm here trying to remember every individual cow, salmon and chicken eggs' names in this story while beth is screwing Lous' husband
Wiiild
I think the last OP needs to go to therapy. This is a serious suggestion because he seems like the type to try to resolve mental issues on his own while totally lacking introspection. It can still be hard for introspective people to resolve certain things, so this would be a extra terrible combo. To have that great of a lack of empathy usually means massive untreated trauma, poor childrearing (e.g. emotionally stunted parents), or untreated mental disorders (e.g. antisocial personality disorders). Either way, he'd benefit from talking to a professional. Maybe he can deal with his intense discomfort/jealousy surrounding other men as well. He acted like he needed to play guard dog to his girlfriend over someone he knows isn't a romantic rival, and all these things combined sound like a massive toxic cocktail that he needs to do figure out with a trained professional.
sorry but i’m goin through that phone 😩
I think that since he wasn't testing his GF but her friend it's a bit different
The way they misuse the term “conspiracy theory” all the time is killing me..
Why not say here’s my “hot take”, “opinion” or just plain “theory”?
I don't think him testing the friend was wrong at all. He told his girlfriend the truth, she was struggling to accept it because she loved her friend, and he needed to prove it early before she caused more issues in their relationship. The friend wasn't going to admit it anyway, and it would be worse if he engaged with the friend privately and then came to his gf with the nudes because then the gf could think he somehow asked for them. Doing the test right in front of her so she can see it happen live was a great way to show to her what's up.
I feel like the only people that feel like tests are betrayals are the ones not prepared to pass it. Test me...idc.... We can laugh together at how you thought and go on stronger than before. But idk 🤷♀️ maybe that's just me
46:43 I would add if you already have your pijama on or are already in bed and then someone will ask you to go out, do not go. Don't tempt fate
love yall!!!
Personally I think it’s weird alone that that older ass guy would go along with her friends without her in the first place 😂 idk my husband would be like ummm no thanks. That is weird as hell to me, sorry! He knows my friends and thinks fondly of them, and same for myself and his friends. Still wouldn’t happen.
My guess is he wanted to get know her friends, and sounds like he was already trying to find something to do. Probably just thought win win, something to do and a chance to get to know her friends better
@@emilyjohn2034 yeah I guess that’s possible! Idk tho still a little odd to me 🤣 especially because he’s so much older than them.
I don't give explanations when I decline an invitation. If I want to spend time with them but have plans for that day, I say I can't that day, I'm already booked, can we choose a different day. If I want to spend time with them, but I don't want to do the activity, I say, I'd love to spend time with you but that activity is out of my comfort zone or something like that. If I don't want to spend time with them I thank them for the invite but just say I can't go. I've only had a few people persist after being rejected more than once and I often take the time to say, I'm sorry but my life is so full at this time I'm not really looking for another friend. If you share what you're doing you risk that person being offended by you attending something they deem less important than them or their event. If they are rude enough to ask what's so important I can't change plans I just say it's something I've committed to and I try to honor my commitments. BTW if an invitation comes with and RSVP, it is RUDE not to respond within a reasonable amount of time.
The 2nd story is literally just farm to table eating
I have a 7 year gap with my partner. Im 24 hes 31. We have been together for 5 years. Its actually great.
45:16 Hmmm, not really respectful and not really that bad. Some people may feel snubbed in that way.
Imagine all the people who wouldn't have a clue they were being cheated on if they hadn't checked a phone, who were being manipulated.
People can hide all sorts. I know of 2 married men (married to women) who are out screwing a ton of men, wives are clueless, ignorance is bliss, maybe the wives should check their husbands' phones one time. Some people are pathological.
I feel like Sophia cringes internally whenever one of their subscribers makes grammatical errors (because same)
i see nothing wrong with someone eating only locally-sourced foods, and in fact, i encourage it. the amount of abuse and improper nutrition in the meat and dairy industries is appalling - do NOT get me started on feeding only corn to ruminants. pasture-fed animals are much better quality, especially if they’re handled with care. stress can cause the cow’s body to release cortisol, which affects the quality of the meat. i went to school for sustainable agriculture, and two of the most important things you can give to a farm animal are a good life and a quick, painless death, free from fear (this is mainly where the cortisol thing comes in, but a cow’s meat reduces in quality from consistent cortisol release during its lifetime). my instructor named all of her animals- dairy and beef cattle, goats, pigs, chickens, etc. we practiced meat processing on a goat named “chamomile cow,” whose mother i had met the year prior. my instructor cried when she dispatched him because of course it’s hard, but she felt so strongly that she gave chamomile cloud the BEST and happiest life possible, and now it was his turn to give back. she said it in much more eloquent terms, but it was a circle of life mentality where humans and animals work hand in hand to thrive and benefit each other.
THAT BEING SAID: OP should’ve mentioned their diet way way before, especially if they’re hosting a dinner, which people often bring food to. i’m sure OP even eats store bought meat on rare occasions when it’s not possible (example: traveling or going to a restaurant), but she just clearly didn’t like beth. wild ending to come from some meatballs tho
7 years really isn’t that bad IMO my mom and dad have a 7 year gap and they’ve been happily married for over 30 years, but also you have to be compatible lol my dad is immature and my mom is mature even though my dad is older he’s never acted like it 🙄🤣 but he’s also the youngest child so 🤷♀️
My partner and I are only 2 years about but I was 18 when we started dating (17 when we met) and people still call him disgusting for the age gap people are crazy (and no we didn’t wait until I was 18 or anything that just happened to be when we got closer)
Harper is a snake in the grass
Until you work at a butchering facility that processes the hormone and steroid pumped non organic meat, you really shouldn’t laugh at this. Most of the meat In stores has been through it, and those steroids and hormones transfer to humans once ingested. It has been proven that since these things have been added to cattle and poultry, that little girls are averaging starting their periods years sooner than before, and steroids can cause all kinds of issues in children and adults. It’s actually pretty scary stuff.
Plus a lot of the fish people eat can literally cause infertility in woman if eaten to much
"conspiracy theory; I think the title of the story will happen!" uh.. it's no longer a theory when you have proof.
The "know the cow" is suuuuch a good way of life. I grew up like that. If you watch any of those videos of cattle yard horror stories... I don't want a cow that had a giant abcess that they just cut off and gave me the meat around it, or a cow that has been shoved into the slaughter room by a bulldozer because they are too weak to walk. Both of those are things your store bought meat have probably experienced.
I personally disagree with the OP in the second story, in my opinion Beth was just trying to be noce and felt proud pf the meatballs she made, also it's etiquette to bring food over when you're invited to dinner. I also find hard to believe what OP says abt current jealousy since they meet each others a once every few years.
EDIT: I didn't expect that turn of events, Beth is disgusting
Bruh, the last dude was T.R.A.S.H
I don’t understand how “knowing the cow” somehow makes eating it more ethical??!
It doesn't. However, it means that you know the animal was well cared for & ate good things, so the meat isn't going to be bad or full of hormones, Mad Cow & whatnot. Also, you don't want to patronize a known animal abuser.
As they said that’s just a wording to make it easier for their kids what they actually mean is they source their meat. They buy from huge operations that do not treat their animals well, there is a lot of nastiness in the meat industry. They buy local farms where the animals are treated properly (which is also healthier for you as the well treated cows tend to have better healthier diets that make their meat healthier)
Jfc people need to CALM DOWN.
I grew up on a small farmstead out in the middle of the woods in western Washington state in the United States.
We raised a few cattle over the years and several pigs and had dairy goats for a few years.
We grew a garden and this is how it's been for many families for a really long time.
One time, we butchered a goat and instead of my grandmother writing the words "goat meat" or chèvre on the packages… She wrote "Sandra."
😂😂😂😂
Having a small farmstead often means that you have to borrow with local gardeners and local farmers.
It's a totally normal thing and people just need to calm the fuck down.
Woooh 🎉
Husband is the AH
Test from op was immature sure but we need to do it that way sometimes. Just cause we grown doesn’t mean immaturity is off the table.
Bruh, yesterday's vid's gone. 👀
I think bc there were a lot of comments of complaint against Sophia so they got rid of it
@@rae52835 I thought it was about Musk possibly finding it. I wouldn't put it past him if it were possible in the short timeframe.
On story one, I have a different opinion on phone looking. With phone looking, you have to check up with your partner. Determine what kind of people you are.
Are you the type of person who trusts your partner to not look at your phone?
Or are you the type of person who trusts your partner enough to look at your phone whenever they want?
I am the second one. It works for my partner and I. We trust each other so much that going through the phone whenever is just okay. And it’s not like you’re checking it every week. It’s an intrusive thought that I think isn’t a bad thought. I simply don’t care what my partner looks at because I don’t have anything to hide. Like maybe every 5 months I might look. It’s really random. It doesn’t mean I don’t trust him. And he has the same option for me. If he wants to look, I’ll immediately give it to him and I’ll even say “go ahead. I trust you.”
My point is, I only let those I love and trust on my phone. And he’s one of those people.
So weird people who are ok eating the animals they knew by name. 😮
Riley can be so annoying sometimes
