@@noprogressionisregression6854lol your weriddddd. They are literally all different ale is Latino, richa is Indian and Lauren doesn’t look like either of em in my opinion
Story 5 update: I just looked it up and OP spilled the beans. Kay was shocked and Matt broke up with Jay because of her behavior. Jay isn’t talking to anyone and Matt is still good friends with everyone else. Honestly I’m glad op told him. Relationships shouldn’t be based off lies
Remember one of the stories from way back when where the girl wanted to confess to her bf that she plotted their relationship too? Lauren compared it to the song Mastermind by Taylor Swift. Basically the girl became bff with his little brother to get close with him, then chose to go to the same college, etc. He dumped her too, because he felt like the girl he fell in love with was a lie. That’s all I could think about during this story. Glad OP spoke up & told him, definitely not surprised he broke up with her.
I saw the update the other day and was like,,, there IS AN UPDATE but I guess they record these videos awhile back, I’m glad OP came forward with everything. The guy broke off the engagement & he definitely deserved to know the truth
@@rosyrr1012 Yeah I think they mentioned the date was the 15th April or something. I'm so happy to hear the guy broke up with her. Lying and manipulating someone to get into a relationship with them is just messed up
Omg am I the only one who felt that Richa sounds soooo similar to Ale?? I was listening on my drive home & for a second thought that Ale was on the show 😅
I thought the same! And when I first started played the video, I only glanced at my screen and thought she was back for an epi. Richa did a great job though!
Story 4. It will always surprise me when the homewrecker still takes the oldest lies in the book. "OH, we are practically separated," "We don't even touch each other or sleep in the same room," Yet the wife is coming with baby in toe to see him/bring him food. 💀
"his wife stopped caring about the marriage after the pregnancy" 🚩🚨🚩🚨 translation: husband is salty he's not the center of attention anymore. is he carrying his weight as a father, or leaving her with all the work?
My thoughts exactly. It happened with my parents too unfortunately. My dad has a big ego and he didn't like that my mom was focused on the children which is a normal thing to do, especially if they are young. He didn't help her with the chores so she didn't even have time for herself. And yet he had the audacity to be jealous of his own damn children that he so desperately wanted to have. I swear the reoccurring stories I hear about husband's cheating on their wife while they are pregnant or right after birth is just horrific. They do not care about their wife or child at all and only care about themselves. It's sad honestly. I wish there were less men like that and more caring partners.
@katie18976 No fr because this happened to my friends sister and she's still with the dirt bag. Like how are you about to be jealous of your own kid that you wanted, makes me sick!
I don't agree with Morgans point. I wish my husband would defend me like op defended his fiancee. The double standards are crazy and I don't believe the mom deserved the benefit of the doubt at ALL.
I know! Morgan totally missed the mark! This was OP’s mother! A mom should support their child 100% no questions asked. The mom going on and on about OP’s future wife.
story 5- matt has every single right to know he was conned into a relationship with J. i can’t believe J would do something like that to her sister. IMO the betrayal of her sister really shows J’s character. if she isn’t loyal to her own blood she probably won’t be loyal to matt either.
It has two updates!!! Go check it out. Honestly I don’t want to spoil it for you, but it sounds like Jay has a history when it comes to her older sister.
Morgan has a romantic and friendship type 😂 although I reckon if you asked her she would say the personality is more important which is true just funny enough that they look similar 😂
Story 4: I would love to know how people believe “we sleep in separate beds” “we’ve been separated for a while” “she doesn’t care about the marriage”. She literally brings lunch and THEIR BABY to see him at work 4 TIMES A WEEK. Going out of your way to see your husband at work usually doesn’t equal giving up on the marriage. I screamed when I heard that.
Story 5 - How did Matt possibly believe K had a boyfriend when it was her 30th birthday but said boyfriend was not even there? Sister J must be a manipulative piece of work.
She told him. Yes. Matt broke up with Jay and Jay is angry with me but she just thinks that it was an innocent comment. Matt however wrote Kay a text explaining everything so now everyone knows "that way" (Kay and mom knew already but they acted like they only heard it from Matt) Still Jay is angry with me and has unfollowed me everywhere saying ruined her happiness. I texted her that if her relationship was real, it would have survived an innocent comment like the one made. Kay called me and she said that Matt has apologized and explained everything to her. She has "forgiven" him although she said there was nothing to forgive really since she truly believes that things weren't meant to be. They are staying friends however and they are very close friends. Jay called Kay a bitch and blocked her everywhere and wrote a nasty comment about her on INSTAGRAM that she was a man stealer then unfollowed her. My mom is very distraught now but think she will survive. will survive too and I still have no feelings of guilt about what I did. I am starting to think that really did do the right thing and am proud of myself for it. As Kay said, things that are meant to be happens.
Story 6: She definitely deserves to know, especially because his personality change also manifested addiction. It is very easy to blame yourself for everything if you are in a relationship with an addict, so having a medical explanation like this could really help her with closure and self-esteem.
Found out I got cheated on recently and if it weren’t for this podcast I wouldn’t have ended it because I don’t have a lot of friends to talk to about this stuff. Thanks for being my sounding board❤
So sorry to hear that, even though I don’t know you I’m incredibly proud of you for breaking up when you knew you needed to. Whatever happens in the following days, stand firm and DON’t take him back!!
Story 5, the fact J betrayed her big sister when she knew how much she liked Matt is the biggest issue for me. That fact alone would change the way I view my sister.
It’s not even them falling back in love… I bet she’s wracked with guilt like “what more could I have done to help him?” And the brother too!!!! He’s probably wondering what happened to his best friend and if there is more he could have done to help him!!!! 😭😭😭
@@PhoenixdiCorvo And how he talks about her seems like she would wonder and one day shell be walking down a store and see a game she played with him and think "God I wish we were still together and wish he was still the same" not knowing right now he probably is
OH MY GOD, that last one has just obliterated me emotionally. I cannot even describe how much I want an update. I need her to know and I need to know what happens.
Story 1: He needs to seek treatment. He is way too active. Every night without restful sleep is damaging to his brain. He needs a sleep study. You need to protect yourself.
Sleep tech here, sounds like he may have REM behavior disorder, or he may have sleep apnea so severe he may be flailing his arms around, I’ve seen people flail their arms without remembering they even did so. He needs a sleep study to comfirm
This could also be a sign of Lewy body dementia. My dad has always dealt with this and was diagnosed two years ago. Apparently it is a very common symptom
Also, in the meantime they should sleep in separate beds if not separate rooms. I know she's tried that, but for her safety and health they need to stick to it while he gets treatment
As a wife who also deals with this. My husband was diagnosed with sleep Tourette’s. He sleep walks (very rarely), sometimes bas conversations with me he straight doesn’t remember, but every night I can guarantee you I am catching an hand, elbow, knee, foot somewhere on my body. His study showed every time be entered REM sleep, his body would think he was following and would “catch” himself. We have tried everything with no success. I just catch a black eye from time to time and we laugh about it in the morning.
Morgan, if you wake up choking and gasping, that’s most likely sleep apnea. It runs in my family so I’ve seen it a lot! It’s an easy fix but not a comfortable one as you will need a cpap machine if you have a severe enough case.
Shout out to sleep apnea awareness! Get a sleep study if anyone has ever told you, you breathe weird when you sleep. Life saving awareness. Cpap saves lives.
My husband and I both use CPAP machines and while it was a challenging adjustment it was 1000% worth it! I can't sleep without my machine now. And now I don't fall asleep every single time I'm a passenger in a car.
And if you have sleep apnea please do not delay treatment. Your oxygen decreases when you sleep and that stresses out your heart over time & can eventually be deadly. Use a CPAP and sleep elevated!
For story #5, I feel like OP should nonchalantly bring it up in a conversation when all of them are together and be like "oh, T you have been single since your 30th bday party, maybe it is time we find you a wedding date for J and Matt's wedding." and then Mat can confront J about her lying.. cause you are adding that detail in the conversation so he can put two and two together... if that makes sense. If I were Matt, I would want to know if I was being lied to, cause what else has she lied about??
Story 5: OP needs to expose the sister to Matt. Her character is digusting to do this to two people and to lie to her entire family and friends bar the one friend she told.
Ok but Morgan PLEASE don't put an update episode behind a paywall! Not all of us have disposable income like that and can't afford to pay for a subscription for an episode.. It would be extremely unfortunate for us who have consistently been watching the episodes week by week and so we've heard all the stories :((
I am right there with you gurl. The second she said that I got so sad. I would love to support her and her channel but the only way I can do that is by watching, following, and liking her posts to help her out. I literally just moved my dad into our tiny house cos he can't live on his own anymore but we have no room so his bedroom is the living room. We converted it for him. We just can't afford anything right now. #SanwichesForDays
I’m very passionate about accessibility within my own channel, and I keep many features free regularly/permanently. But lurkers, channel and ad viewers, all support in their own way, and I appreciate them all. Because I too am a single mother with next to no income. ♥️
LITTLE QUICK UPDATE FOR STORY 5. Its summarized, but if you want to read it its there At a dinner with everyone, op's mom teased kay how she was the only single one and op saw their opportunity. They made a comment like "yea so sad your boyfriend moved and proposed to another girl and posted that proposal on ig" and matt was confused how someone could do that, so annoyed, op said that kay have been single for the past 4 years. Dinner was quiet before jay and matt left. Kay and their mom was initialy upset and confused about what op did, but op explained to them what jay had done and they were shocked. Matt soon broke up with jay and went to apologize to kay and explained what happened. Matt and kay arent together but that didnt stop jay from getting angry at op and kay, calling kay a boyfriend stealer on ig and blocking everyone. Apparently this isnt the first time Jay have stole Kay's bf/crush(jay stole kays first bf. Which probably explains why kay is so shy around her crushes)
Story 6, I would give another perspective : if I was the ex-wife, and the ex would reach me saying "well it was a brain tumor" how guilty would I feel ! Guilty I couldn't help, guilty I couldn't see through, support him when everyone was against him, ... And maybe it's me, but I could never forgive myself
The term 'Muggle' is not a slur in Harry Potter, it simply means a person who does not posess magical powers/who is not a witch or wizard. You may be confusing it with 'Mudblood,' which for a witch/wizard is most definitely 'a very foul name for someone who is muggle-born, someone with non-magic parents.' Just wanted to clear that up 😊
@@anais8068let people like what they like, I’m sure you’re into something other people consider cringe, like telling people to “get over” something that brings them joy, for example…
@@JacquieOhhh yes Jacquie but that was a joke and you didn't get it ;) but it's ok! I'll let people like what they like, I personally LOVE Harry Potter :D
With story 3 all I can think is that they want to wear the sari just so that can "accidently" ruin it and just say "oops my bad" and if OP lashes out the mother and the sister can continue with the "oh see look she is trying to tear this family apart." It that just me?
I felt that vibe too. They didn't back off on it, and didn't hop on "No need to be rude" at that moment. I really felt that they would have ruined it to some degree, or altered it without her permission, something to cause an argument or a gateway to subtly insult OP.
Story 1, he needs a sleep clinic stat. There are actual stories of men killing their partners IN THEIR SLEEP! That’s all I’d think of if my partner was like that.
My husband is like this too. But he doesn't hit that hard and I only notice if I'm awake. I'm also not a light sleeper because of my medicine. But id love for him to sleep normally. (He's more about saying stuff and having conversations. )
I had an ex of sorts that had very violent twitches as he was falling asleep. It was crazy, of course I wanted to cuddle falling asleep but there was multiple instances of him almost shoving me off the bed or unfortunately, almost hit me in the head, he was also a gym rat so that added another layer to how uncomfortable that was.
My mom said my dad would start violently punching the bed in his sleep or looked like he was fighting someone. Thank goodness she was a light sleeper and he just hit pillows. :( I thought they might have just been horrible nightmares.
I once dated a guy who would literally beat on me in his sleep. I would wake up to him choking me, punching me, kicking me… it was impossible to sleep next to him for fear of being hit! After years of him living like this and losing partner after partner bc of it he finally went to the doctor. Turns out he was having seizures in his sleep. Not a typical seizure obviously. But seizures none the less. He’s medicated for it now and him and his wife can sleep peacefully.
@@kameliyayordanova4888 My Dad had vomit and diarrhea coming out of both ends from food poisoning for three straight hours, and refused an ambulance offer from my Mom. She threatened him with an ultimatum that if he doesn't take these Anti-Nausea/Vomiting medication (she takes it for her migraines) she would go call an ambulance. He took the Meds and then went to bed, not even thinking about going to the ER at least😭
*S5:J+K -* I would hv ratted J’s devious BS to K as soon as I found out. No question.. The guy deserves to know who he’s marrying. K deserves to know her sister can’t be trusted, + her instincts about Matt were right, he WAS into her. And J deserves some pain for all that she’s caused w/her selfishness. Gimme his number….
Oh this has been bugging me. You are not mispronouncing "bag", "ruin", nor any of the other words you say with your Minnesota accent. You are speaking a regional dialect. Those pronunciations are correct, as correct as the person with a southern drawl, or the person from Boston, or New York, or Philadelphia, or Australia... Yeah. Don't feel bad, don't feel shame. And don't apologize. Dialects are fine, be proud and don't let people who have never been outside their home town tell you that you are saying it wrong.
AN UPDATE ON STORY #5 👀👀👀👀 Apparently this isn’t Jay’s first time doing this to this sister 🧐😒😒😒 (keep reading) So yesterday I did it. I know many here advised me to keep out of it but I chose to go with my guts. Honestly I have been very angry with Jay and basically I thought it was time that she learned the consequences of her actions. If her and Matt’s relationship is strong and real then nothing would come between them. If it isn’t, then I did the right thing. Most importantly I did right by Kay. I used the opportunity that I introduced my gf to my family yesterday. Mom teased Kay about being “the only one left”. I asked loudly I can’t believe that it had been 4 years since Kay had a bf. Since her ex went home and pandemic hit so he couldn’t fly back so he announced his engagement to another woman on fb and that’s how Kay knew it was over between them. Jay was very nervous and wanted to change the subject but Matt was shocked over how someone would do this to their gf. I don’t think he really did the math at first and he didn’t react. I was annoyed tbh. So I insisted, “Yeah when she introduced you at her 30th party I really thought she had a crush on you because she never shut up about you but a few months later you and Jay got together”. I said that it was confusing and surely not only for me but the rest of the family but then again Jay has done this before and stole Kay’s first bf. This was followed by the loudest silence. I knew I went too far this time but I couldn’t control my anger towards Jay and I wasn’t going to sit there and hope Matt would connect the dots himself. Everyone was very silent and Jay was looking daggers at me. Matt didn’t say anything and Kay was angry too and said that it was long time ago. Matt and Jay left shortly afterwards and Kay asked me why I would embarrass her. I told her that Jay had lied to Matt about her having a bf at her birthday party two years ago and that’s why Matt ghosted her because he thought she (Kay) was playing him. Kay was shocked so she didn’t know as I expected. Mom was shocked too. This morning Kay called. She wanted to know more. She told me that she was very heartbroken for the longest time and confused to why Matt ghosted her but now she knows at least even though she had hoped that he liked her a bit more to talk to her before ghosting her. I said that I believe she deserved better than him and she laughed and agreed. Now I know that I have made the right decision at least by my sister which is the most important thing to me right now. Haven’t heard from Matt or Jay so I don’t know if they’ll stay together or not. All I know was that they were supposed to be on a weekend mini trip to see a venue on the coast and this trip was canceled because Jay usually shares on her stories and they haven’t left town this weekend. I feel saddened of course but not sure if I feel guilty. Maybe it will hit me later. I don’t know.
OP added one more comment in the comments: Yes. Matt broke up with Jay and Jay is angry with me but she just thinks that it was an innocent comment. Matt however wrote Kay a text explaining everything so now everyone knows “that way” (Kay and mom knew already but they acted like they only heard it from Matt) Still Jay is angry with me and has unfollowed me everywhere saying I ruined her happiness. I texted her that if her relationship was real, it would have survived an innocent comment like the one I made. Kay called me and she said that Matt has apologized and explained everything to her. She has “forgiven” him although she said there was nothing to forgive really since she truly believes that things weren’t meant to be. They are staying friends however and they are very close friends. Jay called Kay a bitch and blocked her everywhere and wrote a nasty comment about her on INSTAGRAM that she was a man stealer then unfollowed her. My mom is very distraught now but I think she will survive. I will survive too and I still have no feelings of guilt about what I did. I am starting to think that I really did do the right thing and I am proud of myself for it. As Kay said , things that are meant to be happens.
Story 4: this happened at my old job, one of the girls was cheating on her bf with the manager who was married with kids. We found out because of the cameras, they were so dumb. His wife is beautiful and would always go see him at work and she was so sweet but i left before knowing what happened.
Story 4: Ugh, OP needs to report this immediately to HR. HR will have their own official means of investigating. OP doesn't deserve having to leave her place of employment because of other bad actors.
story 5 - op should tell both her sisters she knows, perhaps J first so she can (hopefully) come clean and tell K before op would have to. However, Matt should know and someone, preferably J, needs to tell him because he deserves to know that his entire relationship was based on a lie that a younger sister told to screw over her older sister, that speaks volumes about her character and idk if id want to marry someone capable of doing that to anyone, especially not their own sibling
Story 4: I hope she tells the wife. "It's none of her business" but they made it her business by acting that way in front of her and the friend even admitted it...and now her work schedule has been affected so that further makes it her business...and she knows he's married, and she has access to communication with the wife. I feel like, at this point, it's her responsibility to let the wife know
The brain tumor one is so heart wrenching. I think that the brain tumor does exonerate him from some of his actions. Of course he got worse when he was misdiagnosed and given treatment that was never going to work for his condition. Obviously we are all still responsible for our actions but knowing he was set up for failure changes things. I think it’s best that he focus on getting healthy for now, who’s to say the people he loves would even believe him with his history of lying due to his condition. At least after the surgery he’ll have scars to prove it. I’d love to see a happy ending in his future because everyone in this story deserves happiness.
Story 5: You can't bulid a relationship on lies; i dont care how well their relationships is; she don't deserver him and she ows her older sister an apology
for the Kay & Jay story: Let’s think a bit more long term about this. Let’s say Jay and Matt get married. A year or two or more go by, and at a family event, Matt and Kay are casually chatting when Matt offhandedly brings up Kay having been in a relationship back when they first met. Kay, confused, corrects him, telling him she hadn’t been seeing anyone. Matt says that Jay told him she’d had a boyfriend back then, and how she must’ve been mistaken. Kay is even more confused and says something like, “But she knew I was single and who I was crushing on…” And it clicks for them what happened, completely independent of anyone else’s meddling. This is a secret that could be easily blown wide open if _anyone_ mentions to Matt that Kay was single, or mentions to Kay that Matt thought she was single. This isn’t some airtight, foolproof plan. I predict it _will_ come to light eventually. (Edit: saw the update that OP told Matt & Kay and Matt broke up with Jay) And when it does, will it also come out that OP knew, and kept it a secret? For me, the question isn’t, “Are you willing to stir up drama?” It’s, “Are you willing to risk Kay putting you on the chopping block alongside Jay if she ever finds out that you two lied in order to protect Jay’s happiness and relationship without giving a rat’s ass about Kay’s happiness and feelings?”
It's all fun and games until Matt finds out 4 years into their marriage that Jay lied to him so she could have him instead. Their ENTIRE relationship is built on a bed a lies
Every time I hear a workplace story like this I scream “report to hr!” Bc even if you don’t have proof, make the report so there is record of the grievance and save a copy of it
The story about the sisters I WOULD ONE MILLION PERCET TELL THEM ALL everyone deserves to know! There’s no way that J hasn’t manipulated Matt more than just in the beginning it’s crazy
For the coworker affair story...My first thought was they probably don't sleep in the same room cos HE doesn't want to be woken up by the baby. I also think the wife is already suspicious of something going on, hence bringing him lunch 3-4 times a week, she's probably trying to catch him in the act while simultaneously gaslighting herself into thinking it's post pregnancy hormones making her crazy and paranoid. No one wants to believe their partner is capable of cheating at such a vulnerable time. Maybe OPs anonymous message is exactly what she needs to validate her feelings and leave this pos. On the other hand, knowing that a message will likely cause so much heartache and upheaval in someone's life makes it difficult to do.
Story 3 reminds me of the girl who had a very sentimental white dress from her late grandmother. Her partner demanded she wore that dress then “accidentally” dropped red whine all over the dress. It’s definitely a power trip and would likely DESTROY her beloved items. Too much negativity from the jump
S5: Honestly, I'm with that commenter. I've never seen a dynamic that started with manipulation and lies last, if anything - the fallout was magnified by all of the webs of deception. I would want to know if someone was willing to manipulate me into a relationship or marriage, I'd be very upset if I found out others knew and didn't tell me the truth.
story 5, on whether or not to reveal something big about someone's relationship: if finding out would impact their decision to go forward with the marriage, they should know. and if it wouldn't impact their decision, then what's the harm in them knowing? if it's something that could be discovered years later, is it better to find out now? i'd tell them.
Story 6: I'm hoping that it's not a malignant tumor, for starters. Finding out you have a brain tumor is absolutely devastating. But they definitely need to let someone mutual know.
Story 6: I think he made the right decision, because his motive mainly were for them to get back together. So until that chages he will be telling her for selfish reason. If he tell her with those high hopes he could fall back in bad habits. He need to think first in his well being. ❤ Edit: Just check the post for updates and he deleted.😢
Story 3- I’d definitely have a dupe made of the Sari, say I thought about it, I want you to wear this and have a better relationship with the family. Then see what happens to the dupe, promise it’ll be ruined or never seen again.
Story 5: IF he ever finds out after they are married it could cause major resentment and could even result in divorce!! You should never start a relationship on a lie. If I found this out I would absolutely divorce that person not for the other person but since the relationship was poisoned from the start.
Richa feels so familiar for some reason, like not that she’s the same as someone else, but that she’s just made for this podcast, or she’s already been on before ❤ Can’t explain it but it’s really cool Would love to see more of her!!
With how viral brain tumor guy's story got, it wouldn't surprise me if she found out through socials. The Belize story, the brother, the DnD references.... that's a lot of specific info.
*S2: Acctant v. Lawyer -* As someone who’s been a Legal Asst for decades, I guarantee Ryan, Esq’s assistant thought about adding something “special” to his lunches on his *extra* days, so good choice heating it up himself, as he should. His asst isn’t his server.

heres the thing OP from story 4 - theyre going to know it was you even if you do it anonymously. it seems like youre the only one who knows, so theyre going to figure it out, so dont worry about hiding behind a fake account. just do what feels right.
Random side note for Morgan about tonsil removal. I got mine out at 21. I had recurrent infections and it turns out my tonsils were BAD. They started to grow into my neck muscle instead of into my throat and during surgery the one had an abscess and “exploded” quote from the surgeon. Basically it was a bad situation and I should have had them removed in childhood. The recovery was TERRIBLE. I couldn’t eat right for well over a month. Water came out of my nose when I drank for a year bc of the swelling and I had to learn to swallow right again due to the neck muscle trauma. I also felt like talking was a bit of a challenge at a times again due to the neck muscle trauma. I say all of this to let you know tonsil removal at an older age (not childhood) is ROUGH, but so worth it. I haven’t had any issues since about a year post op once I was fully recovered (currently 25). If you do get it done just be prepared for a long hard recovery.
absolutely agree omg the recovery was AWFULLL…. the scabbing 😭😭😭 i was crying while eating. but i dont get strep or sore throats as much anymore so i will say it was worth it!
I got mine removed exactly a year ago, for the same reason: recurrent infections. I was 29 when I got the surgery. According to the ENT, my tonsils fell apart from how bad of a shape they were & had lots of food particles (which in hindsight, made sense since I occasionally felt like something was stuck in my throat after eating). The recovery was bad but not too bad compared to the infections.
I had almost the same thing except mine hadn’t grown into my muscles. They were the size of golf balls and one was almost rotting. Reoccurring infections and constant sleep interruptions made me go see an ENT. 12 stitches later and recovery was horrible I couldn’t talk for 2 weeks and could barely drink water. Much happier without my tonsils.
Story 4: report to HR he is their Supervisor and the company will cut ties immediately with him. If the relationship ends badly the “friend” could say she was coerced and file a lawsuit against the company. The company will not take that chance
Story 1: It's very clear he either has restless leg syndrome, a form of somnambulism or another syndrome in that realm. Either way, he needs to go to a pulmonologist or a sleep doctor, get a sleep study and then talk about treatments. He definitely needs proffesional help. P.S. Also, the fact that he basically doesn't dream is a VERY clear sign he has *extreme* sleep deprivation, so, either way, he needs that sleep study ASAP.
@@minniepin5820 RLS does occur primarily during wakefulness, like you said, but it can manifest just as well at night and cause sleep disruptions. It is categorized as a cause of parasomnia as well. Either way, at this general level of discussion, the exact etiology doesn't matter, the main idea was that this person, or whoever has similar symptoms, needs to discuss with a doctor because the way they sleep doesn't only lead them to have an unpleasant night and disrupt their partner's sleep as well, it can also put them at higher risk for many more dangerous diseases down the line, and that's what worries me the most about this story. Good thing they got that sleep study scheduled (and possibly done at this moment in time)!
Richa talking about South Asian hospitality hits hoooome! Recently went on a trip back to the motherland and found out a mutual friend was going to be teaching English at a monastry there. My cousin ended up inviting him over to stay the night and my family took him out exploring, was a great time.
Story 4: NEVER do a "hey girl" from a fake account, if you are going to break a marriage the least you can do is show your face. Nobody is gonna believe a fake account, it feels bad intended
agree. but not with the "if you're going to break a marriage", i think if there is infidelit,y the marriage is already broken. it is on the person cheating and them only.
I love Richa's presence on the podcast! Her and Morgan have good chemistry as hostesses and I like that they could have slightly differing opinions while still discussing and talking through it. I didnt agree with Richa's take for s5 but I really appreciated her perspective having grown up with different customs and traditions than the western "norm". Please bring her back for another episode, Id love to see you throw some reddit batsh*t craziness at her!!
For the sister betrayal story the only reason I think Kay should know about this is so that she can be careful about the information she shares with Jay in the future. The point that Jay might’ve lied to Matt about other things in their relationship is valid but idk if this piece of information warrants throwing a grenade into the crowd.
I would tell the fiancé the truth so he can decide his future properly. He got with the younger sister and built a relationship based on a lie and on sabotage. He and the older sister could have been soulmates. But he doesn’t know now cause the younger sister lied to him. So I would tell him and let him decide what he wants to do. It might be messy but the younger sister caused this. And I chose violence always lol
For story 2: someone once told me that they thought I was out of my fiancés league and that they expected me to be with someone more attractive and they were surprised by my “settling” with him. I’ve had a crush on my fiancé since I was 13. At that point in time we had been together about 5 years. I don’t talk to that person anymore. I don’t care their intentions, I don’t take well to people treating my fiancé poorly. He is gorgeous, kind, caring, funny, loving. We met online when we were 13/14, we are now 28/29 and have been together 11 years, engaged for 7 months and currently expecting our first kid (6 months along). But that “friend”? Yea. We don’t talk anymore at ALL.
I remember on of my friends dads when I was a kid saying he didn’t believe in sole mates, and saying there are a lot of people out there you could have a good life with, but love is choosing one person everyday even though there are others out there. I think about that a lot.
Story 2: Accountant vs Lawyer - I'm going against Morgan and Richa's vote, and voting ESH. OP sucks because although Ryan sounds insufferable, he wasn't involved in the conversation. Obviously, OP's mom sucks for attacking Kate's character. I'm confused as to why OP wants to have his mom and Ryan in his life if it sounds like they don't bring anything good to his life.
Story 2 - I will say that the information given about Ryan was heavily unnecessary. If anything it seems like he might just be neurodivergent and it's not like Ryan is taking active steps to isolate the mother or abuse her. Also OP explains in the comments that the mother is richer than Ryan so there's no power dynamic occurring and that Ryan was neglected as a child, which could also explain his behaviors. Knowing all of this it just makes OP the asshole even more, not for what he said to his mom per se, but for how he views and treats Ryan. His mom is an asshole too, you can see where OP gets it from. He may think he's not as judgemental as his mother but he definitely is.
Story 1: as someone who has chronic sleep disorders, specifically related to REM, the first story hits home. I’ve been an insomniac since I was born. I have sleep paralysis and can even lucid dream. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and ADHD which makes everything worse. I’m a sleep catastrophe. I’ve also had a really bad chronic strep case when I was a teenager that lead to an autoimmune disease and becoming immune to antibiotics for strep. It got so bad, my tonsils were obstructing airways and I was sent to the ER twice in 3 weeks to get an epinephrine shot. I had my tonsils finally removed after a lot of fighting with doctors and insurance. Before this, my parents sent me to a sleep study. Turns out I was only entering REM sleep for 4 minutes. We don’t know why I didn’t stay long REM sleep but one possible cause was because I was choking on my tonsils every time my muscles would relax in REM. Now I don’t think this is the only cause because I still struggle with sleep. PLEASE go get checked out if you have ANY sleep disturbances. Things like sleep apnea or tonsils obstructing airways can lead to death. Sleep hygiene is so important and not getting enough sleep can seriously impact or end your life.
Story 5: HOW? How can you fuck over your own sister like that? It must be a natural character trait of Jay to be able to easily say Kay had a bf and covertly manipulate Matt. I love my family enough not to screw them over like this. My gosh. Who needs enemies when you have such a sister??
the first story - the “nose thing” is to test for sleep apnea, i did one a couple years ago. you stick a couple things to your skin, hook a thing in your nose, and have a recorder on you. lol
i should be going to bed bc i am going to my bestie’s graduation in the morning, but i couldn’t resist a THT upload! Morgan being the educated woman she is inspired me to go to college in the first place, so i wouldn’t be in this position without her & THT ♥️ :)
My thing 28th story 5 is that does the manipulative little sister deserve a happy ending like that and does that man deserve to be lied to and manipulated? I dont think so, id let everyone know what happened
This right here. Everyone's talking about how the older sister could've been his soulmate but the bigger thing is this guy doesn't deserve to be lied and manipulated this way and he deserves to know the truth just so he can be warned about what the younger sister is capable of
@@joevictor53 exactly! He might not even pick the other sister, but it would be his decision without someone manipulating him and becoming his "friend" just to sleep with him
Story 1. I wonder if the partner might need a CPAP. My partner was a WILD sleeper before we found out he would stop breathing 90 times in an hour. He'd jump in his sleep, hit in his sleep, etc. Once we got his cpap for him he stopped hitting in his sleep, and started being much more rested. I would def recommend a sleep study and see if it would be helpful.
21:23 I don’t understand why we’re apologizing to anyone because the Mom went for his fiancé who is going to be his wife and the son went after his mom’s husband like it’s tit for tat conversation never should’ve been started point-blank.
Story one: they need to get him to a sleep clinic. She also needs to tell the doctors her side & what has been happening. That being said, I know medical care in America is expensive, so if they can't afford it then they seriously need to commit to sleeping in separate beds. Snuggle for a set amount of time & then go to your own beds. Snuggling can not be more important than your sleep. Lack of sleep has a really serious effect on your health & can cause many problems. There's lots of sacrifices we need to make in life (for the sake of our health, career, marriage, or any ither number of reasons) snuggling might be just be something they have to sacrifice to make things work.
Morgan please do another updates episode, i never go back to see if there are any updates on stories and i would love to know which ones got an ending !!
The guy with the tumour has to tell his ex wife. You guys were talking about how much trauma she probably has from the situation & it’s not as if trauma disappears once the person is out of your life!? Imagine how it’s affecting her relationships now?! She could be constantly worried about future partners suddenly changing, using drugs behind her back, lying. Who knows how it has tainted her relationships going forward. She could think her husband faked a personality for years and then one day snapped or was lying the whole time but couldn’t hide it anymore. She could blame herself. Yes he shouldn’t have expectations & knowing it was tumour won’t fix everything, but I imagine it could heal a lot. Being lied to at that extent by your spouse could traumatize you for life, especially because it was a sudden change. Imaging being able to know that it wasn’t you or them, it was a tumour.
Story 5- with the lie that J told about K, and with Matt about to be part of their family, the truth could easily come out somewhere, years maybe, down the line - like the family is having after dinner drinks and old boyfriends are mentioned or something.
side note how is your entire friend group so stunning

@@noprogressionisregression6854insane response to a wholesome compliment 😭
How are they all so uniquely stunning with a voice for podcasting? 😂
@noprogressionisregression6854 this is just factually incorrect
Story 5 update: I just looked it up and OP spilled the beans. Kay was shocked and Matt broke up with Jay because of her behavior. Jay isn’t talking to anyone and Matt is still good friends with everyone else. Honestly I’m glad op told him. Relationships shouldn’t be based off lies
Remember one of the stories from way back when where the girl wanted to confess to her bf that she plotted their relationship too? Lauren compared it to the song Mastermind by Taylor Swift. Basically the girl became bff with his little brother to get close with him, then chose to go to the same college, etc. He dumped her too, because he felt like the girl he fell in love with was a lie. That’s all I could think about during this story. Glad OP spoke up & told him, definitely not surprised he broke up with her.
THANK YOU FOR THIS UPDATE! UGH. I WAS PRAYING OP TOLD MATT! HE DESERVES TO KNOW!
I saw the update the other day and was like,,, there IS AN UPDATE but I guess they record these videos awhile back, I’m glad OP came forward with everything. The guy broke off the engagement & he definitely deserved to know the truth
You are an angel sent from heaven for this
@@rosyrr1012 Yeah I think they mentioned the date was the 15th April or something. I'm so happy to hear the guy broke up with her. Lying and manipulating someone to get into a relationship with them is just messed up
Omg am I the only one who felt that Richa sounds soooo similar to Ale?? I was listening on my drive home & for a second thought that Ale was on the show 😅
Same! I was only listening and not paying attention to the video and realised I was picturing Ale in my head whenever Richa was talking 😮
yes!! for the first minute i thought she sounded like Ale too and i enjoyed having her on just as much as Ale!
Yess! I had to come to the video to double check
No because when Morgan went We got a new face, I was so confused 😭
I thought the same! And when I first started played the video, I only glanced at my screen and thought she was back for an epi. Richa did a great job though!
Story 4. It will always surprise me when the homewrecker still takes the oldest lies in the book.
"OH, we are practically separated," "We don't even touch each other or sleep in the same room,"
Yet the wife is coming with baby in toe to see him/bring him food. 💀
Such a good point. Wild
im willing to bet he's not even helping her with taking care of their child
Right? Oh, she gave up on the relationship after the baby, but she cares enough to bring me food to work... with a baby.
"sleeping in separate beds" Yeah probably cause they have a NEWBORN baby and he's working and wants to sleep all night... That poor mother
I feel like she doesn't really care and just takes that as a way to justify her behaviour
"his wife stopped caring about the marriage after the pregnancy" 🚩🚨🚩🚨 translation: husband is salty he's not the center of attention anymore. is he carrying his weight as a father, or leaving her with all the work?
Thisssss
My thoughts exactly. It happened with my parents too unfortunately. My dad has a big ego and he didn't like that my mom was focused on the children which is a normal thing to do, especially if they are young. He didn't help her with the chores so she didn't even have time for herself. And yet he had the audacity to be jealous of his own damn children that he so desperately wanted to have. I swear the reoccurring stories I hear about husband's cheating on their wife while they are pregnant or right after birth is just horrific. They do not care about their wife or child at all and only care about themselves. It's sad honestly. I wish there were less men like that and more caring partners.
@katie18976 No fr because this happened to my friends sister and she's still with the dirt bag. Like how are you about to be jealous of your own kid that you wanted, makes me sick!
The fact that she showed up haggard and tired, I would say hell no.

Story 2: "Yo ur future wife sucks! Here are all the reasons, i cant believe you would marry her." - "Okay but ur husband sucks" - "HOW DARE YOU"
The double standards crazy
😂 exactly
Literalllyyyyyyyyy
I don't agree with Morgans point. I wish my husband would defend me like op defended his fiancee. The double standards are crazy and I don't believe the mom deserved the benefit of the doubt at ALL.
I know! Morgan totally missed the mark! This was OP’s mother! A mom should support their child 100% no questions asked. The mom going on and on about OP’s future wife.
story 5- matt has every single right to know he was conned into a relationship with J. i can’t believe J would do something like that to her sister. IMO the betrayal of her sister really shows J’s character. if she isn’t loyal to her own blood she probably won’t be loyal to matt either.
It has two updates!!! Go check it out. Honestly I don’t want to spoil it for you, but it sounds like Jay has a history when it comes to her older sister.
@@matildas7338 hey so, how do I find this story? I tried searching but couldn’t find it. 😢
@@matildas7338how do I find the update ?
Morgan has a type 😂❤ Richa is like the third triplet we didn't know we were missing
Oh 100% I don't know if Morgam knows tho 😂
Morgan has a romantic and friendship type 😂 although I reckon if you asked her she would say the personality is more important which is true just funny enough that they look similar 😂
What about Lauren?
@@animenation2500 what about her? She's one of the triplets duh!
I wish my type attracted friends and relationships as amazing as hers!
Story 4: I would love to know how people believe “we sleep in separate beds” “we’ve been separated for a while” “she doesn’t care about the marriage”. She literally brings lunch and THEIR BABY to see him at work 4 TIMES A WEEK. Going out of your way to see your husband at work usually doesn’t equal giving up on the marriage. I screamed when I heard that.
Story 5 - How did Matt possibly believe K had a boyfriend when it was her 30th birthday but said boyfriend was not even there? Sister J must be a manipulative piece of work.
She told him.
Yes. Matt broke up with Jay and Jay is angry with me but she just thinks that it was an innocent comment. Matt however wrote Kay a text explaining everything so now everyone knows "that way" (Kay and mom knew already but they acted like they only heard it from Matt) Still Jay is angry with me and has unfollowed me everywhere saying ruined her happiness. I texted her that if her relationship was real, it would have survived an innocent comment like the one made. Kay called me and she said that Matt has apologized and explained everything to her. She has "forgiven" him although she said there was nothing to forgive really since she truly believes that things weren't meant to be. They are staying friends however and they are very close friends. Jay called Kay a bitch and blocked her everywhere and wrote a nasty comment about her on INSTAGRAM that she was a man stealer then unfollowed her.
My mom is very distraught now but think she will survive. will survive too and I still have no feelings of guilt about what I did. I am starting to think that really did do the right thing and am proud of myself for it. As Kay said, things that are meant to be happens.

Idk her take on the little sister stealing big sister boyfriend is kinda horrible
Story 6: She definitely deserves to know, especially because his personality change also manifested addiction. It is very easy to blame yourself for everything if you are in a relationship with an addict, so having a medical explanation like this could really help her with closure and self-esteem.
Found out I got cheated on recently and if it weren’t for this podcast I wouldn’t have ended it because I don’t have a lot of friends to talk to about this stuff. Thanks for being my sounding board❤
Sorry to hear that. Did you and your partner had a shared friendgroup?
hey ❤ u got this
So sorry to hear that, even though I don’t know you I’m incredibly proud of you for breaking up when you knew you needed to. Whatever happens in the following days, stand firm and DON’t take him back!!
I'm proud you were able to develop the strength to leave that relationship. You derves love and loyalty ❤❤
That’s so awful. Sorry 💔. But that’s life’s way of mkg sure ur not distracted with the wrong one when the right one comes along.
Story 5, the fact J betrayed her big sister when she knew how much she liked Matt is the biggest issue for me. That fact alone would change the way I view my sister.
In the upate she says that J stole her first boyfriend too, so this is a repeating offence
THE LAST ONE IS KILLING ME😭😭 i just want them to fall in love again and live happily ever after bc their relationship would be so strong 😭😭😭
It’s not even them falling back in love… I bet she’s wracked with guilt like “what more could I have done to help him?” And the brother too!!!! He’s probably wondering what happened to his best friend and if there is more he could have done to help him!!!! 😭😭😭
@@PhoenixdiCorvo And how he talks about her seems like she would wonder and one day shell be walking down a store and see a game she played with him and think "God I wish we were still together and wish he was still the same" not knowing right now he probably is
OH MY GOD, that last one has just obliterated me emotionally. I cannot even describe how much I want an update. I need her to know and I need to know what happens.
Story 1: He needs to seek treatment. He is way too active. Every night without restful sleep is damaging to his brain. He needs a sleep study. You need to protect yourself.
Sleep tech here, sounds like he may have REM behavior disorder, or he may have sleep apnea so severe he may be flailing his arms around, I’ve seen people flail their arms without remembering they even did so. He needs a sleep study to comfirm
This could also be a sign of Lewy body dementia. My dad has always dealt with this and was diagnosed two years ago. Apparently it is a very common symptom
Also, in the meantime they should sleep in separate beds if not separate rooms. I know she's tried that, but for her safety and health they need to stick to it while he gets treatment
Preach!!!!
As a wife who also deals with this. My husband was diagnosed with sleep Tourette’s. He sleep walks (very rarely), sometimes bas conversations with me he straight doesn’t remember, but every night I can guarantee you I am catching an hand, elbow, knee, foot somewhere on my body. His study showed every time be entered REM sleep, his body would think he was following and would “catch” himself. We have tried everything with no success. I just catch a black eye from time to time and we laugh about it in the morning.
Morgan, if you wake up choking and gasping, that’s most likely sleep apnea. It runs in my family so I’ve seen it a lot! It’s an easy fix but not a comfortable one as you will need a cpap machine if you have a severe enough case.
Shout out to sleep apnea awareness! Get a sleep study if anyone has ever told you, you breathe weird when you sleep. Life saving awareness. Cpap saves lives.
My husband and I both use CPAP machines and while it was a challenging adjustment it was 1000% worth it! I can't sleep without my machine now. And now I don't fall asleep every single time I'm a passenger in a car.
And if you have sleep apnea please do not delay treatment. Your oxygen decreases when you sleep and that stresses out your heart over time & can eventually be deadly. Use a CPAP and sleep elevated!
Sleep apnea is way more common than some might think. Morgan, please mention this to your doctor ❤
not me being like “girl me too silly tonsils!” thinking its not super abnormal lol
Morgan just collects slim brunettes like funko pops
She definitely has a type lol. And they sound similar too.

What an odd thing to say lol
Richa is amazing, bring her back!🥰
Yeeees, please!!!
For the sari story I think it’s definitely a power play. They know it’s sentimental and want to pick a fight with OP because they don’t like her.
For story #5, I feel like OP should nonchalantly bring it up in a conversation when all of them are together and be like "oh, T you have been single since your 30th bday party, maybe it is time we find you a wedding date for J and Matt's wedding." and then Mat can confront J about her lying.. cause you are adding that detail in the conversation so he can put two and two together... if that makes sense. If I were Matt, I would want to know if I was being lied to, cause what else has she lied about??
There's an update now and that's basically what she did! Matt did break up with Jay too, so she got what her manipulative ass deserved.
This is actually a really good idea, in my opinion.
Story 5: OP needs to expose the sister to Matt. Her character is digusting to do this to two people and to lie to her entire family and friends bar the one friend she told.
Richa is a natural and seems so comfortable on the couch! An articulate queen 👸🏽I really enjoyed this episode and hope we get to see Richa again!

LITTLE QUICK UPDATE FOR STORY 5. Its summarized, but if you want to read it its there
At a dinner with everyone, op's mom teased kay how she was the only single one and op saw their opportunity. They made a comment like "yea so sad your boyfriend moved and proposed to another girl and posted that proposal on ig" and matt was confused how someone could do that, so annoyed, op said that kay have been single for the past 4 years. Dinner was quiet before jay and matt left. Kay and their mom was initialy upset and confused about what op did, but op explained to them what jay had done and they were shocked. Matt soon broke up with jay and went to apologize to kay and explained what happened. Matt and kay arent together but that didnt stop jay from getting angry at op and kay, calling kay a boyfriend stealer on ig and blocking everyone. Apparently this isnt the first time Jay have stole Kay's bf/crush(jay stole kays first bf. Which probably explains why kay is so shy around her crushes)

The term 'Muggle' is not a slur in Harry Potter, it simply means a person who does not posess magical powers/who is not a witch or wizard. You may be confusing it with 'Mudblood,' which for a witch/wizard is most definitely 'a very foul name for someone who is muggle-born, someone with non-magic parents.'
Just wanted to clear that up 😊

With story 3 all I can think is that they want to wear the sari just so that can "accidently" ruin it and just say "oops my bad" and if OP lashes out the mother and the sister can continue with the "oh see look she is trying to tear this family apart." It that just me?
I felt that vibe too. They didn't back off on it, and didn't hop on "No need to be rude" at that moment. I really felt that they would have ruined it to some degree, or altered it without her permission, something to cause an argument or a gateway to subtly insult OP.
Story 1, he needs a sleep clinic stat. There are actual stories of men killing their partners IN THEIR SLEEP! That’s all I’d think of if my partner was like that.
My husband is like this too. But he doesn't hit that hard and I only notice if I'm awake. I'm also not a light sleeper because of my medicine. But id love for him to sleep normally. (He's more about saying stuff and having conversations. )
@@BimboCommentarystay safe out there
Yes, this is a serious REM. disorder. My husband developed this issue because of Prozac toxicity.
I had an ex of sorts that had very violent twitches as he was falling asleep. It was crazy, of course I wanted to cuddle falling asleep but there was multiple instances of him almost shoving me off the bed or unfortunately, almost hit me in the head, he was also a gym rat so that added another layer to how uncomfortable that was.
My mom said my dad would start violently punching the bed in his sleep or looked like he was fighting someone. Thank goodness she was a light sleeper and he just hit pillows. :( I thought they might have just been horrible nightmares.
I once dated a guy who would literally beat on me in his sleep. I would wake up to him choking me, punching me, kicking me… it was impossible to sleep next to him for fear of being hit! After years of him living like this and losing partner after partner bc of it he finally went to the doctor. Turns out he was having seizures in his sleep. Not a typical seizure obviously. But seizures none the less. He’s medicated for it now and him and his wife can sleep peacefully.

AN UPDATE ON STORY #5 👀👀👀👀
Apparently this isn’t Jay’s first time doing this to this sister 🧐😒😒😒 (keep reading)
So yesterday I did it. I know many here advised me to keep out of it but I chose to go with my guts. Honestly I have been very angry with Jay and basically I thought it was time that she learned the consequences of her actions. If her and Matt’s relationship is strong and real then nothing would come between them. If it isn’t, then I did the right thing. Most importantly I did right by Kay. I used the opportunity that I introduced my gf to my family yesterday. Mom teased Kay about being “the only one left”. I asked loudly I can’t believe that it had been 4 years since Kay had a bf. Since her ex went home and pandemic hit so he couldn’t fly back so he announced his engagement to another woman on fb and that’s how Kay knew it was over between them. Jay was very nervous and wanted to change the subject but Matt was shocked over how someone would do this to their gf. I don’t think he really did the math at first and he didn’t react. I was annoyed tbh.
So I insisted, “Yeah when she introduced you at her 30th party I really thought she had a crush on you because she never shut up about you but a few months later you and Jay got together”. I said that it was confusing and surely not only for me but the rest of the family but then again Jay has done this before and stole Kay’s first bf. This was followed by the loudest silence. I knew I went too far this time but I couldn’t control my anger towards Jay and I wasn’t going to sit there and hope Matt would connect the dots himself.
Everyone was very silent and Jay was looking daggers at me. Matt didn’t say anything and Kay was angry too and said that it was long time ago. Matt and Jay left shortly afterwards and Kay asked me why I would embarrass her. I told her that Jay had lied to Matt about her having a bf at her birthday party two years ago and that’s why Matt ghosted her because he thought she (Kay) was playing him. Kay was shocked so she didn’t know as I expected. Mom was shocked too.
This morning Kay called. She wanted to know more. She told me that she was very heartbroken for the longest time and confused to why Matt ghosted her but now she knows at least even though she had hoped that he liked her a bit more to talk to her before ghosting her. I said that I believe she deserved better than him and she laughed and agreed. Now I know that I have made the right decision at least by my sister which is the most important thing to me right now.
Haven’t heard from Matt or Jay so I don’t know if they’ll stay together or not. All I know was that they were supposed to be on a weekend mini trip to see a venue on the coast and this trip was canceled because Jay usually shares on her stories and they haven’t left town this weekend. I feel saddened of course but not sure if I feel guilty. Maybe it will hit me later. I don’t know.
Omg girl can u let us know if and when there’s another update 👀👀👀
Thank you !!
OP added one more comment in the comments:
Yes. Matt broke up with Jay and Jay is angry with me but she just thinks that it was an innocent comment.
Matt however wrote Kay a text explaining everything so now everyone knows “that way” (Kay and mom knew already but they acted like they only heard it from Matt)
Still Jay is angry with me and has unfollowed me everywhere saying I ruined her happiness. I texted her that if her relationship was real, it would have survived an innocent comment like the one I made.
Kay called me and she said that Matt has apologized and explained everything to her. She has “forgiven” him although she said there was nothing to forgive really since she truly believes that things weren’t meant to be. They are staying friends however and they are very close friends. Jay called Kay a bitch and blocked her everywhere and wrote a nasty comment about her on INSTAGRAM that she was a man stealer then unfollowed her.
My mom is very distraught now but I think she will survive. I will survive too and I still have no feelings of guilt about what I did. I am starting to think that I really did do the right thing and I am proud of myself for it. As Kay said , things that are meant to be happens.
@@ambergalert thank youuuu I can’t believe Jay had the nerve to call her sister a man stealer
@@ambergalert thank you again !!!
Story 4: this happened at my old job, one of the girls was cheating on her bf with the manager who was married with kids. We found out because of the cameras, they were so dumb. His wife is beautiful and would always go see him at work and she was so sweet but i left before knowing what happened.
Story 4: Ugh, OP needs to report this immediately to HR. HR will have their own official means of investigating. OP doesn't deserve having to leave her place of employment because of other bad actors.
Right but I do agree that she needs to consult a lawyer first in case HR tries to screw her over.
story 5 - op should tell both her sisters she knows, perhaps J first so she can (hopefully) come clean and tell K before op would have to. However, Matt should know and someone, preferably J, needs to tell him because he deserves to know that his entire relationship was based on a lie that a younger sister told to screw over her older sister, that speaks volumes about her character and idk if id want to marry someone capable of doing that to anyone, especially not their own sibling
There is an update on Reddit for this one
Omg on my way to Reddit I guess
@@Schnexxx Man I can't even get the original story to load to see the update.
@@Schnexxx how do you find it?!!
@@Nicol397Jthere are many details about the update in this comment section ☺
Story 4: I hope she tells the wife. "It's none of her business" but they made it her business by acting that way in front of her and the friend even admitted it...and now her work schedule has been affected so that further makes it her business...and she knows he's married, and she has access to communication with the wife. I feel like, at this point, it's her responsibility to let the wife know
100% agree, but she should show face, making a fake account is emotionally irresponsible
Story 2 - the mom shoving him takes it to the next level.
The brain tumor one is so heart wrenching. I think that the brain tumor does exonerate him from some of his actions. Of course he got worse when he was misdiagnosed and given treatment that was never going to work for his condition. Obviously we are all still responsible for our actions but knowing he was set up for failure changes things. I think it’s best that he focus on getting healthy for now, who’s to say the people he loves would even believe him with his history of lying due to his condition. At least after the surgery he’ll have scars to prove it. I’d love to see a happy ending in his future because everyone in this story deserves happiness.
Ryan listening in the other room 👁️👄👁️
LMAO
Yeah, he's a creep
Loving Richas takes! She’s awesome.
Another great episode Morgan 🔥
I'm living for Richa! She was everything I needed today. Please Morgan keep bringing her back!
Story Number 1: Invest in a California king and a sleep study.
Story 5: You can't bulid a relationship on lies; i dont care how well their relationships is; she don't deserver him and she ows her older sister an apology
for the Kay & Jay story:
Let’s think a bit more long term about this. Let’s say Jay and Matt get married. A year or two or more go by, and at a family event, Matt and Kay are casually chatting when Matt offhandedly brings up Kay having been in a relationship back when they first met. Kay, confused, corrects him, telling him she hadn’t been seeing anyone. Matt says that Jay told him she’d had a boyfriend back then, and how she must’ve been mistaken. Kay is even more confused and says something like, “But she knew I was single and who I was crushing on…”
And it clicks for them what happened, completely independent of anyone else’s meddling. This is a secret that could be easily blown wide open if _anyone_ mentions to Matt that Kay was single, or mentions to Kay that Matt thought she was single. This isn’t some airtight, foolproof plan. I predict it _will_ come to light eventually. (Edit: saw the update that OP told Matt & Kay and Matt broke up with Jay) And when it does, will it also come out that OP knew, and kept it a secret?
For me, the question isn’t, “Are you willing to stir up drama?” It’s, “Are you willing to risk Kay putting you on the chopping block alongside Jay if she ever finds out that you two lied in order to protect Jay’s happiness and relationship without giving a rat’s ass about Kay’s happiness and feelings?”
It's all fun and games until Matt finds out 4 years into their marriage that Jay lied to him so she could have him instead. Their ENTIRE relationship is built on a bed a lies
Every time I hear a workplace story like this I scream “report to hr!” Bc even if you don’t have proof, make the report so there is record of the grievance and save a copy of it
The story about the sisters I WOULD ONE MILLION PERCET TELL THEM ALL everyone deserves to know! There’s no way that J hasn’t manipulated Matt more than just in the beginning it’s crazy
For the coworker affair story...My first thought was they probably don't sleep in the same room cos HE doesn't want to be woken up by the baby. I also think the wife is already suspicious of something going on, hence bringing him lunch 3-4 times a week, she's probably trying to catch him in the act while simultaneously gaslighting herself into thinking it's post pregnancy hormones making her crazy and paranoid. No one wants to believe their partner is capable of cheating at such a vulnerable time. Maybe OPs anonymous message is exactly what she needs to validate her feelings and leave this pos. On the other hand, knowing that a message will likely cause so much heartache and upheaval in someone's life makes it difficult to do.
Story 3 reminds me of the girl who had a very sentimental white dress from her late grandmother. Her partner demanded she wore that dress then “accidentally” dropped red whine all over the dress. It’s definitely a power trip and would likely DESTROY her beloved items. Too much negativity from the jump
S5: Honestly, I'm with that commenter. I've never seen a dynamic that started with manipulation and lies last, if anything - the fallout was magnified by all of the webs of deception. I would want to know if someone was willing to manipulate me into a relationship or marriage, I'd be very upset if I found out others knew and didn't tell me the truth.
story 5, on whether or not to reveal something big about someone's relationship: if finding out would impact their decision to go forward with the marriage, they should know. and if it wouldn't impact their decision, then what's the harm in them knowing? if it's something that could be discovered years later, is it better to find out now? i'd tell them.
Story 6: I'm hoping that it's not a malignant tumor, for starters. Finding out you have a brain tumor is absolutely devastating. But they definitely need to let someone mutual know.
I never understood the people who say ale and lauren sound alike. But she sounds soo much like ale.. 😅😅same cadence and everything
Story 6: I think he made the right decision, because his motive mainly were for them to get back together. So until that chages he will be telling her for selfish reason. If he tell her with those high hopes he could fall back in bad habits. He need to think first in his well being. ❤
Edit: Just check the post for updates and he deleted.😢
Story 3- I’d definitely have a dupe made of the Sari, say I thought about it, I want you to wear this and have a better relationship with the family. Then see what happens to the dupe, promise it’ll be ruined or never seen again.
Story 5: IF he ever finds out after they are married it could cause major resentment and could even result in divorce!! You should never start a relationship on a lie. If I found this out I would absolutely divorce that person not for the other person but since the relationship was poisoned from the start.
Richa feels so familiar for some reason, like not that she’s the same as someone else, but that she’s just made for this podcast, or she’s already been on before ❤
Can’t explain it but it’s really cool
Would love to see more of her!!
With how viral brain tumor guy's story got, it wouldn't surprise me if she found out through socials. The Belize story, the brother, the DnD references.... that's a lot of specific info.
Yeah seriously! I want an update 😭
*S2: Acctant v. Lawyer -* As someone who’s been a Legal Asst for decades, I guarantee Ryan, Esq’s assistant thought about adding something “special” to his lunches on his *extra* days, so good choice heating it up himself, as he should. His asst isn’t his server.
"His assistant isn't his server" that's exactly their job description
@@leilanitauheed3334it's not actually. Do you see how assistant and server are spelled differently?
@@TheCaptainSquiggles You see how assist has the word "assist" in it? As in assisting to daily activities! Eating is a daily activity
@leilanitauheed3334 what sort of shit are u smoking bruh? An assistant doesn't serve u food, ur lucky if they're nice enough to fetch u coffee or water
heres the thing OP from story 4 - theyre going to know it was you even if you do it anonymously. it seems like youre the only one who knows, so theyre going to figure it out, so dont worry about hiding behind a fake account. just do what feels right.
Random side note for Morgan about tonsil removal. I got mine out at 21. I had recurrent infections and it turns out my tonsils were BAD. They started to grow into my neck muscle instead of into my throat and during surgery the one had an abscess and “exploded” quote from the surgeon. Basically it was a bad situation and I should have had them removed in childhood. The recovery was TERRIBLE. I couldn’t eat right for well over a month. Water came out of my nose when I drank for a year bc of the swelling and I had to learn to swallow right again due to the neck muscle trauma. I also felt like talking was a bit of a challenge at a times again due to the neck muscle trauma. I say all of this to let you know tonsil removal at an older age (not childhood) is ROUGH, but so worth it. I haven’t had any issues since about a year post op once I was fully recovered (currently 25). If you do get it done just be prepared for a long hard recovery.
absolutely agree omg the recovery was AWFULLL…. the scabbing 😭😭😭 i was crying while eating. but i dont get strep or sore throats as much anymore so i will say it was worth it!
I got mine removed exactly a year ago, for the same reason: recurrent infections. I was 29 when I got the surgery. According to the ENT, my tonsils fell apart from how bad of a shape they were & had lots of food particles (which in hindsight, made sense since I occasionally felt like something was stuck in my throat after eating). The recovery was bad but not too bad compared to the infections.
I had almost the same thing except mine hadn’t grown into my muscles. They were the size of golf balls and one was almost rotting. Reoccurring infections and constant sleep interruptions made me go see an ENT. 12 stitches later and recovery was horrible I couldn’t talk for 2 weeks and could barely drink water. Much happier without my tonsils.
Story 4: report to HR he is their Supervisor and the company will cut ties immediately with him. If the relationship ends badly the “friend” could say she was coerced and file a lawsuit against the company. The company will not take that chance
Story 1: It's very clear he either has restless leg syndrome, a form of somnambulism or another syndrome in that realm. Either way, he needs to go to a pulmonologist or a sleep doctor, get a sleep study and then talk about treatments. He definitely needs proffesional help.
P.S. Also, the fact that he basically doesn't dream is a VERY clear sign he has *extreme* sleep deprivation, so, either way, he needs that sleep study ASAP.
Restless leg syndrome primarily occurs during wakefulness. this is a parasomnia, it sounds like RBD
@@minniepin5820 RLS does occur primarily during wakefulness, like you said, but it can manifest just as well at night and cause sleep disruptions. It is categorized as a cause of parasomnia as well.
Either way, at this general level of discussion, the exact etiology doesn't matter, the main idea was that this person, or whoever has similar symptoms, needs to discuss with a doctor because the way they sleep doesn't only lead them to have an unpleasant night and disrupt their partner's sleep as well, it can also put them at higher risk for many more dangerous diseases down the line, and that's what worries me the most about this story.
Good thing they got that sleep study scheduled (and possibly done at this moment in time)!
Richa talking about South Asian hospitality hits hoooome! Recently went on a trip back to the motherland and found out a mutual friend was going to be teaching English at a monastry there. My cousin ended up inviting him over to stay the night and my family took him out exploring, was a great time.
Damn it's 4am where I am, early drop haha.
Right, 5am here!
Sameee
Thabk you for the 2am drop. I needed this tonight. Having a trying few weeks.
Story 4: NEVER do a "hey girl" from a fake account, if you are going to break a marriage the least you can do is show your face. Nobody is gonna believe a fake account, it feels bad intended
agree. but not with the "if you're going to break a marriage", i think if there is infidelit,y the marriage is already broken. it is on the person cheating and them only.
I LOVEDDDDDD having Richa on the pod! She was so delightful, fun, and her perspective was interesting. Please have her back ❤❤❤
I love Richa's presence on the podcast! Her and Morgan have good chemistry as hostesses and I like that they could have slightly differing opinions while still discussing and talking through it. I didnt agree with Richa's take for s5 but I really appreciated her perspective having grown up with different customs and traditions than the western "norm". Please bring her back for another episode, Id love to see you throw some reddit batsh*t craziness at her!!
For the sister betrayal story the only reason I think Kay should know about this is so that she can be careful about the information she shares with Jay in the future. The point that Jay might’ve lied to Matt about other things in their relationship is valid but idk if this piece of information warrants throwing a grenade into the crowd.
I really really like this guest. I hope she returns often. She's sensible, decisive, and has a nice fast speaking voice.
I would tell the fiancé the truth so he can decide his future properly. He got with the younger sister and built a relationship based on a lie and on sabotage. He and the older sister could have been soulmates. But he doesn’t know now cause the younger sister lied to him. So I would tell him and let him decide what he wants to do.
It might be messy but the younger sister caused this. And I chose violence always lol
For story 2: someone once told me that they thought I was out of my fiancés league and that they expected me to be with someone more attractive and they were surprised by my “settling” with him.
I’ve had a crush on my fiancé since I was 13. At that point in time we had been together about 5 years. I don’t talk to that person anymore. I don’t care their intentions, I don’t take well to people treating my fiancé poorly. He is gorgeous, kind, caring, funny, loving. We met online when we were 13/14, we are now 28/29 and have been together 11 years, engaged for 7 months and currently expecting our first kid (6 months along). But that “friend”? Yea. We don’t talk anymore at ALL.
Love getting my post notifications!! Look forward to every Thursday 💘
Its like Christmas every week🎉
I hope we get another Richa episode again soon! I loved her energy, she seems so grounded!
I remember on of my friends dads when I was a kid saying he didn’t believe in sole mates, and saying there are a lot of people out there you could have a good life with, but love is choosing one person everyday even though there are others out there. I think about that a lot.
Story 2: Accountant vs Lawyer - I'm going against Morgan and Richa's vote, and voting ESH. OP sucks because although Ryan sounds insufferable, he wasn't involved in the conversation. Obviously, OP's mom sucks for attacking Kate's character.
I'm confused as to why OP wants to have his mom and Ryan in his life if it sounds like they don't bring anything good to his life.
Story 2 - I will say that the information given about Ryan was heavily unnecessary. If anything it seems like he might just be neurodivergent and it's not like Ryan is taking active steps to isolate the mother or abuse her. Also OP explains in the comments that the mother is richer than Ryan so there's no power dynamic occurring and that Ryan was neglected as a child, which could also explain his behaviors. Knowing all of this it just makes OP the asshole even more, not for what he said to his mom per se, but for how he views and treats Ryan. His mom is an asshole too, you can see where OP gets it from. He may think he's not as judgemental as his mother but he definitely is.
Story 1: as someone who has chronic sleep disorders, specifically related to REM, the first story hits home. I’ve been an insomniac since I was born. I have sleep paralysis and can even lucid dream. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and ADHD which makes everything worse. I’m a sleep catastrophe. I’ve also had a really bad chronic strep case when I was a teenager that lead to an autoimmune disease and becoming immune to antibiotics for strep. It got so bad, my tonsils were obstructing airways and I was sent to the ER twice in 3 weeks to get an epinephrine shot. I had my tonsils finally removed after a lot of fighting with doctors and insurance. Before this, my parents sent me to a sleep study. Turns out I was only entering REM sleep for 4 minutes. We don’t know why I didn’t stay long REM sleep but one possible cause was because I was choking on my tonsils every time my muscles would relax in REM. Now I don’t think this is the only cause because I still struggle with sleep. PLEASE go get checked out if you have ANY sleep disturbances. Things like sleep apnea or tonsils obstructing airways can lead to death.
Sleep hygiene is so important and not getting enough sleep can seriously impact or end your life.
Story 5:
HOW? How can you fuck over your own sister like that? It must be a natural character trait of Jay to be able to easily say Kay had a bf and covertly manipulate Matt.
I love my family enough not to screw them over like this. My gosh.
Who needs enemies when you have such a sister??
the first story - the “nose thing” is to test for sleep apnea, i did one a couple years ago. you stick a couple things to your skin, hook a thing in your nose, and have a recorder on you. lol
i should be going to bed bc i am going to my bestie’s graduation in the morning, but i couldn’t resist a THT upload! Morgan being the educated woman she is inspired me to go to college in the first place, so i wouldn’t be in this position without her & THT ♥️ :)
My thing 28th story 5 is that does the manipulative little sister deserve a happy ending like that and does that man deserve to be lied to and manipulated? I dont think so, id let everyone know what happened
This right here. Everyone's talking about how the older sister could've been his soulmate but the bigger thing is this guy doesn't deserve to be lied and manipulated this way and he deserves to know the truth just so he can be warned about what the younger sister is capable of
@@joevictor53 exactly! He might not even pick the other sister, but it would be his decision without someone manipulating him and becoming his "friend" just to sleep with him
2 minutes ago I am about to start cleaning thank you for the entertainment haha ❤
Story 1. I wonder if the partner might need a CPAP. My partner was a WILD sleeper before we found out he would stop breathing 90 times in an hour. He'd jump in his sleep, hit in his sleep, etc. Once we got his cpap for him he stopped hitting in his sleep, and started being much more rested. I would def recommend a sleep study and see if it would be helpful.
story 5: OP ended up telling her sister and Matt the truth. Matt broke up with Jay, Kay and Matt are staying close friends.
OMG WE UNLOCKED A NEW CHARACTER YALL
21:23 I don’t understand why we’re apologizing to anyone because the Mom went for his fiancé who is going to be his wife and the son went after his mom’s husband like it’s tit for tat conversation never should’ve been started point-blank.
Story one: they need to get him to a sleep clinic. She also needs to tell the doctors her side & what has been happening. That being said, I know medical care in America is expensive, so if they can't afford it then they seriously need to commit to sleeping in separate beds. Snuggle for a set amount of time & then go to your own beds. Snuggling can not be more important than your sleep. Lack of sleep has a really serious effect on your health & can cause many problems. There's lots of sacrifices we need to make in life (for the sake of our health, career, marriage, or any ither number of reasons) snuggling might be just be something they have to sacrifice to make things work.
richa was such a good guest, i hope we see her again soon! ☺️
Morgan please do another updates episode, i never go back to see if there are any updates on stories and i would love to know which ones got an ending !!
The guy with the tumour has to tell his ex wife. You guys were talking about how much trauma she probably has from the situation & it’s not as if trauma disappears once the person is out of your life!?
Imagine how it’s affecting her relationships now?! She could be constantly worried about future partners suddenly changing, using drugs behind her back, lying.
Who knows how it has tainted her relationships going forward. She could think her husband faked a personality for years and then one day snapped or was lying the whole time but couldn’t hide it anymore. She could blame herself.
Yes he shouldn’t have expectations & knowing it was tumour won’t fix everything, but I imagine it could heal a lot.
Being lied to at that extent by your spouse could traumatize you for life, especially because it was a sudden change. Imaging being able to know that it wasn’t you or them, it was a tumour.
Story 5- with the lie that J told about K, and with Matt about to be part of their family, the truth could easily come out somewhere, years maybe, down the line - like the family is having after dinner drinks and old boyfriends are mentioned or something.
