00:00:00.000 Why would you want to be in a long-time relationship with someone
00:00:02.680 that you don't feel comfortable expressing your emotions?
00:00:06.000 No, no, I feel comfortable.
00:00:07.340 I don't mind.
00:00:07.700 I'll tell you anything.
00:00:08.860 But if I know what I'm going to tell you is not going to be easy on you,
00:00:12.020 why tell you it?
00:00:13.540 Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
00:00:14.500 Why make my girlfriend go through or my wife go through the stress
00:00:18.220 that she doesn't...
00:00:19.260 Listen, that's not your stress.
00:00:21.040 It's like her coming to me with every issue she's got in the house.
00:00:23.280 I don't want to hear it.
00:00:24.660 Don't come to me with every issue in the house
00:00:26.160 because I already got my issues to sort out.
00:00:28.140 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:00:28.720 So it's not that I lack communication.
00:00:30.820 It's just that some things is not meant for you to worry about.
00:00:33.380 And it's how you create a sacred space.
00:00:35.360 You know, when you go into a relationship,
00:00:37.380 you don't want to be bringing all of this baggage with you.
00:00:39.500 And I think in order to make a marriage long and successful,
00:00:42.920 you don't need to know every little detail of what they're doing,
00:00:45.740 where they're going, how the finances are going.
00:00:47.180 You create sacred space.
00:00:49.220 You know, as a woman, you take the load of the household and the kids.
00:00:52.240 You know, you don't need to bother your husband with every single thing.
00:00:55.060 And vice versa.
00:00:55.820 The husband doesn't need to come home
00:00:57.320 and tell you exactly what's happened at work
00:00:59.260 and how he's paid the bills,
00:01:00.980 but he's only got said how much I ever left.
00:01:03.480 Like, it's all about creating a space
00:01:05.300 where you're just, you're in like a comfort zone together.
00:01:08.240 And the fact that men have this ability
00:01:10.020 where they will go out and they will work
00:01:12.600 and they will take the load of the finances.
00:01:14.760 If they're not telling you if they're a bit short one month,
00:01:17.480 I don't think that's a bad thing.
00:01:18.740 I actually think it's beautiful that they want to kind of cushion you.
00:01:21.920 Would it be less attractive, though, as well,
00:01:23.440 if the dude is like coming out to you with every single little thing?
00:01:26.860 Yeah, like if he's coming home and he's like,
00:01:29.220 oh, like, oh, I'm 20 quid short and all of this.
00:01:32.680 I'd just be like, oh, my God.
00:01:34.900 My ex-boyfriend, my childhood sweetheart.
00:01:47.160 Oh, gosh, I can't believe I'm saying this.
00:01:49.880 Maybe don't.
00:01:51.620 He didn't have the money at the time to buy a car.
00:01:57.160 Well, that's not back up there.
00:01:58.180 So I bought him a car.
00:01:59.880 You bought him a car?
00:02:02.180 Wow.
00:02:02.520 How much was a car?
00:02:04.020 It was a BMW E36, I believe.
00:02:08.500 So it was a bit of a classic.
00:02:09.800 Yeah.
00:02:11.180 Lucky boy, isn't it?
00:02:12.600 But obviously he paid me back in installments, okay?
00:02:15.440 But that's what I mean.
00:02:16.700 How did that affect the dynamic of your relationship?
00:02:18.960 What does that do to your relationship?
00:02:20.480 Because then he owes you money.
00:02:21.700 It's not that.
00:02:22.520 It's like a relationship.
00:02:24.080 I think it's really important to have like a friendship.
00:02:26.760 Yeah.
00:02:27.840 Who broke up with who?
00:02:31.380 I broke up with him, but not for that reason.
00:02:34.020 Not for that reason.
00:02:35.040 It was for a different reason.
00:02:36.660 I just asked the question.
00:02:38.060 Does he still owe you the money?
00:02:39.420 No, no.
00:02:39.840 He paid me back.
00:02:40.700 Like I trusted him.
00:02:41.660 Did you break up with him after he paid you back?
00:02:44.360 The reason why I broke up with him is because he called me another girl's name.
00:02:49.060 So did he cheat too?
00:02:50.020 That's all right.
00:02:50.800 What?
00:02:51.700 What?
00:02:52.020 Wait, what?
00:02:52.400 That's crazy.
00:02:53.800 Anyways.
00:02:54.600 Wait, you break up with me not because I cheated, but because I called you someone else.
00:02:57.580 But might have.
00:02:58.380 Was he not cheating?
00:02:59.220 No, I know who that girl was because he spoke about that girl in the beginning of the relationship.
00:03:03.880 And I found something a little bit sus.
00:03:05.680 No, but that's my point.
00:03:06.580 Like even if that's, that's even more reason.
00:03:09.100 Because if it's a girl that I used to see, then it's quite easy that I might have mistaken you.
00:03:13.020 You know, I actually think the same thing.
00:03:14.560 Because I don't know.
00:03:15.120 I just feel like in society, we always jump to the worst case scenario instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt.
00:03:20.100 What if he just, what if he just.
00:03:22.040 Just a slip up.
00:03:22.500 Yeah.
00:03:23.320 How long were you two speaking for?
00:03:25.800 Oh no, we were like childhood sweethearts.
00:03:28.200 And then I broke up and, oh, I met him when I was 16.
00:03:31.360 We got together when I was 17.
00:03:33.060 And then I broke up with him and I was like 21, 22.
00:03:36.020 So for him to, so when did he mention her?
00:03:38.680 Because you said at the beginning of your relationship, was that when you were like 16?
00:03:41.420 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:42.040 When I was 16, he met him when you were 21.
00:03:44.180 Yeah.
00:03:44.500 Yeah.
00:03:44.740 So that, that's a big, like, how was her name?
00:03:47.940 But it's just words.
00:03:49.700 It's just words.
00:03:50.260 Oh no, no, no.
00:03:50.920 There was context behind those words.
00:03:52.600 But anyway, what I'm saying is in a relationship.
00:03:54.180 Oh wait, wait, hold on.
00:03:55.100 Was you doing the naughty when he said it?
00:03:58.660 No way, no way.
00:04:01.680 Break up with him.
00:04:02.820 No way.
00:04:03.940 No, no, no.
00:04:04.520 We were driving in the car.
00:04:06.020 Oh, okay, okay.
00:04:06.660 I think the one that I bought him and he just said her name and then he went, Nideshi, I
00:04:11.260 mean.
00:04:12.240 And it was because he was hanging her, like, hanging out with her before he saw me.
00:04:16.060 In your car.
00:04:16.280 Yeah, that's crazy.
00:04:17.120 In the car.
00:04:17.580 How do you know?
00:04:18.500 Did you have it all out with him though afterwards?
00:04:20.360 Were you like...
00:04:20.640 I just asked him, but he started getting a little bit defensive and I just said to him, like,
00:04:24.340 listen, like, I'm not judging you.
00:04:27.300 I'm not telling you off.
00:04:28.160 Like, I'm not your mum.
00:04:29.320 But our five-year relationship is over.
00:04:31.240 Stop the car.
00:04:32.020 Stop the car.
00:04:32.520 Let me ask.
00:04:33.740 Give me back my people.
00:04:34.880 We were on the boat way.
00:04:36.040 We were on the boat way.
00:04:37.060 So that couldn't even happen.
00:04:38.140 But anyways, I just said to him, like, it's okay.
00:04:40.020 Like, you can tell me.
00:04:40.780 And then he was just like, oh, because I knew the girl that he was talking about because
00:04:47.120 they were friends during, like, their childhood.
00:04:50.560 And then they tried to date, but it didn't work because it turned out that she's a lesbian.
00:04:57.100 So I was like, fair enough, fair enough.
00:04:59.440 And then they stopped speaking.
00:05:00.280 So he called you a lesbian's name and you still dumped him?
00:05:03.200 She's a lesbian.
00:05:04.320 If she's a lesbian, what?
00:05:05.620 So that wasn't the problem.
00:05:07.180 Wait, did he tell you that she was a lesbian?
00:05:08.680 What was the problem then?
00:05:09.060 Come on, we need context.
00:05:10.320 Yeah, yeah, sorry.
00:05:11.540 Let her finish.
00:05:12.300 Let her finish.
00:05:13.760 Let her finish.
00:05:13.820 Let her finish.
00:05:13.840 Let her finish.
00:05:13.860 What's the context?
00:05:16.300 So I was like, okay, so why are you hiding the fact that you're hanging out with her if you're
00:05:20.800 just friends?
00:05:21.280 And then he was just like, oh, and he couldn't give me a straight answer.
00:05:26.160 So that's when I was just like, okay, I'm just going to give it time.
00:05:29.660 If you want to open up about something, you will open up when you have to.
00:05:34.840 Anyways, time goes on.
00:05:37.600 And he showed me videos on his phone of them hanging out.
00:05:42.660 They're watching a movie.
00:05:43.900 They're under a blanket together eating Chinese food.
00:05:46.400 And I was just like.
00:05:47.460 He sent you the video?
00:05:48.980 He didn't send me it.
00:05:49.760 He just showed me on his phone.
00:05:50.720 He was like, see, we're not doing anything.
00:05:52.260 And I was just like.
00:05:54.580 Something is just off here.
00:05:56.000 He didn't help his case though, did he?
00:05:58.700 You know when you don't want to judge someone.
00:06:01.040 You know when you don't judge someone.
00:06:02.060 Is he trying to break up with you or something?
00:06:03.660 You started the story by saying you broke up with him because he called you another.
00:06:08.220 I gave him time.
00:06:10.140 I gave him time because I was just like, it could be a slip up.
00:06:12.760 You never know.
00:06:13.600 But then stuff didn't, you know, it wasn't adding up.
00:06:18.780 And then I was just like, you know what?
00:06:20.720 But ultimately, but ultimately, if she was a lesbian, would I get down to it anyway?
00:06:26.020 I mean.
00:06:28.100 But this leads on to a different question.
00:06:29.740 To be honest, I thought you were going to say that you said your name, like said that
00:06:32.160 girl's name while you were banging or something.
00:06:33.460 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:06:34.620 That's where I thought the story was going.
00:06:36.700 It doesn't really seem that serious.
00:06:38.260 Yeah.
00:06:38.440 Well, well, can I ask you something?
00:06:42.740 As a man or woman, are you allowed to like two people?
00:06:48.940 Yeah.
00:06:49.780 Like if I'm going out with you, am I allowed to like someone else?
00:06:52.580 Of course.
00:06:53.040 I mean, if you're in like a hardcore committed relationship and you're planning on getting
00:06:58.080 married and practicing exclusivity, then that's a bit of a disrespect.
00:07:03.740 But if you're in an open relationship and you're just dating.
00:07:05.840 It's a disrespect for me to like someone naturally.
00:07:08.600 Like something I can't help.
00:07:10.140 Yeah, you can't help how you feel.
00:07:12.380 You feel?
00:07:13.120 You can't help like attraction isn't a choice.
00:07:15.340 So if you walk past someone hot and you're like, God damn.
00:07:17.400 Oh, you mean that?
00:07:18.300 I thought you meant as in like physically do something.
00:07:20.640 You're seeing someone else whilst you're in a relationship.
00:07:22.320 No, no, no, no.
00:07:22.680 I mean like are you allowed to like someone?
00:07:24.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:24.700 Of course.
00:07:25.400 Like if he liked another girl's pictures on Instagram, I'll be like.
00:07:27.940 No, not like that.
00:07:29.160 I mean like I'm attracted to her.
00:07:31.300 Am I allowed to be attracted to another woman?
00:07:33.720 What, in a relationship?
00:07:34.920 Yeah, why am I in a relationship?
00:07:35.640 Dude, I have a question actually.
00:07:36.900 Did you have guy friends during this?
00:07:40.140 Yeah, but it was, it was very platonic.
00:07:43.740 Were you in the blanket?
00:07:44.980 Okay.
00:07:45.500 No, surprisingly.
00:07:46.580 Okay, so you had male friends.
00:07:49.140 You were mad at him for having a female friend.
00:07:51.660 Oh, no, it wasn't like that.
00:07:53.120 Okay.
00:07:53.320 It was like.
00:07:55.680 There was more of a bit of a female friend.
00:07:58.240 Do you see what I mean?
00:07:58.920 There's layers.
00:07:59.880 There's layers.
00:08:00.640 Yeah.
00:08:01.180 Did you find out for sure that they hooked up or like did something?
00:08:06.220 You know, I believe in.
00:08:08.080 For sure, like you know they did.
00:08:10.140 I believe in female intuition and I know.
00:08:13.480 I don't want to say the reason because it's too graphic.
00:08:17.680 Oh, my God.
00:08:19.520 Okay.
00:08:20.700 Okay.
00:08:21.840 You don't have to be graphic.
00:08:23.300 You could say yes or no.
00:08:24.420 So when I was with him, I.
00:08:27.460 You don't have to be graphic.
00:08:28.800 Let's be Shereen.
00:08:30.260 I just realized something like obviously with my body, like.
00:08:35.460 Anyways, when I, but compared to how my health was in the relationship to compare to how my health was outside the relationship, if you know what I mean.
00:08:42.420 Like, I was clean outside the relationship, but inside that relationship, I wasn't.
00:08:48.000 So he hadn't created a sacred space.
00:08:50.300 Exactly.
00:08:51.120 Yeah, that's it.
00:08:51.980 He was disrespected.
00:08:53.160 He was creating the sacred space with the lesbian under the blanket.
00:08:56.280 He was a community.
00:08:58.760 Goddamn.
00:08:59.120 Man, if you're going to, if you, anyway, if you're going to do something, strap up in it, like, you know what I'm saying, like.
00:09:04.000 Well, you shouldn't be driven by that, anyway.
00:09:05.240 As many of you know, I was just banned on TikTok, and we are demonetized on a daily basis on this platform.
