He reminds me so much of my husband and his reaction to other people, and they are both musicians. I’ve even told my husband and I could see him and Justin being good friends.
i was thinking the same! i listened to this on spotify first and was so confused when morgan was apologizing for the audio quality. i never would have known they were outside if she hadn’t said so lol
My husband in the other room was listening in and out of no where goes "she's making more money what's the issue" Loving hearing men stand up against the BS

Story 1: The minute he cleared out the joint bank account is the minute he lost any leverage in a divorce. That is financial abuse. My husband and I saw that happen to a friend and it did not go well for the abuser in court. Not only were they ordered to put ALL the withdrawn money back into that account, they were also ordered to pay fees and got a lower percentage when shared property was split.
This podcast was a huge support and reassurance for me to leave a toxic relationship for good after 2 years and multiple attempts to leave. I feel so good that I can't relate to these stories anymore, thank you guys
This podcast has helped me grow so much so I feel that! It definitely helps you realize who’s toxic, even if it’s yourself like me lol but I’m so glad they helped you too babe!!!!
Def agree the podcast has helped me know the red flags to look out for in the future and made me realize maybe I should just stick to dating girls/fellow neurodivergent ppl... 😅
YOU SHOULD DO A PLOTTWIST EXPISODE!! Where the stories take an immediate 180. I saw this idea in the comments of the lauradiy episode you did and I wanted to bring it up again because I think it’s a really good idea! 😊hope this is seen I love your videos!
I think the first woman shouldn't let any of them back in her house until they apologize not the other way around. It's so weird to bring his family into the discussion as if it was at all their business 🙄
The audacity of him asking HER house to transferred to his name and all the financial control, seems like he is after her money & property. God forbid if she do what he asked, what about her first child? The house his mom owned wouldn't be his and he is not being father figure to can lead to things like not helping him with college money and he might not have a home when he turns 18 and his mom wouldn't have any financial power. Not having financial independence also means that she would only be able to spend money on necessities, and wouldn't be able to enjoy spa days or shopping for herself.
The story about the bf freaking out over the lockbox and becoming abusive - my first thought was steroids. OP said at the beginning that he works out a lot, and steroid use can cause emotional issues and aggression. The fact that she thinks he might have been on drugs is a clue.
Very good guess. Steroids or testosterone. My dad had to start getting testosterone shots years back because his levels were low. My mom gave him a shot every week. Then suddenly a few years ago he started getting so angry and even violent with her. He’s always been kind of angry but never physical in their more than 30 years together. Turns out his testosterone levels were through the roof causing extreme anger and mood swings. As soon as he stopped and they leveled out he went back to normal. Glad OP got out of that relationship.
or also a binge eating disorder on top of it. i understand he’s a big guy and needs to fuel his body, but if he can eat an entire week of snacks worth in a couple days, i’d be concerned. just because you go to the gym doesn’t mean you’re healthy.
Yes, thank you! I was going to comment this. My husband has underlying psychosis, and his rage comes out every time he takes steroids, even if they're prescribed by a doctor.
One huge thing with the cannibus wedding that wasn’t brought up was when the girlfriend asked what he was doing with the kids, he said they would only have them for the ceremony. So if his sister (babysitter) fell through, what was the plan for the reception? He definitely wouldn’t have had a plan and either made his gf leave or force his family to stay for the reception. So many lies.
I am a long time listener and I am just so disappointed with this episode I just think that if you don’t have children that maybe that’s I don’t know I guess maybe not a good topic but like just the way that you guys are bashing I am just so disappointed I am so so so disappointed in you guys I definitely will be taking a step back and no longer listening
I think the fee thing is fine for the family. But this girl invited her friend so it should be her responsibility to cover the fee. Or she could have told her friend as soon as she told her to come. My fiancés grandparents just celebrated their 55th anniversary, and we’re having a celebration. They asked my fiancé to bring me. But they were kind enough to offer to pay for our flights. My fiancé always pays for my flights if he’s asking me to do something with his family.
with the cabin story, it makes more sense for the family to pay because that cabin will be left to them and they will use it throughout the years so it’s an investment for their future property, she won’t get anything back
How I saw it, take the family ownership out of the equation. She’s paying $200 for a weekend which would be a running rate of an Air B&B at a cabin on the lake during the summer with the added benefit of being able to comeback with the BF (or on her own) as many times as she wants to during the year. Chances are, with a large family that the BF might not even see any benefit of the cabin either so I don’t see an issue with guests paying as long as they have the option to decline going and not pay which is what it sounded like happened here. I know I’m in the minority but I don’t see a problem with it.
Yes, but with an arb&b you get to pick or choose and you can demand since you are getting a product/ service, and also you can divide the fee among the guests. I can only imagine when they have to change the roofing or upgrade the plumbing piping 😂 $3K per person
With the lake house story, I feel like it would actually be cheaper if the whole family pitched in to completely remodel the house instead of paying an annual fee… once the house is updated the maintenance will be less since everything is new and in working order and then also allows the grandparents to properly rent it out to strangers for a higher price
Honestly though so my family doesn’t have a cabin or anything but my grandmother lives on a farm and family visit and stay there a lot especially if they are going through something like struggling financially or health they’ll live with my Nan on the farm and few years ago the farm basically needed a whole overhaul and my Nan is now too old to work the farm and so all my mums siblings all sat down together figured out how much it was gonna cost to fix up the farm and hire new staff and paid it and got it working really well so they don’t have to keep fixing it and my grandmother wouldn’t dream of charging people to come stay
That’s what I was thinking! Just figure out how much it will take to make the cabin good as new and everyone split the cost and be done with it. What weirds me out is that everyone in the family who was already going to the cabin is going…so shouldn’t they have already hit their goal to pay for repairs? Why do they need guests to pay? Are they planning on breaking the roof again???
@@KeyKeyJay EXACTLY! I was wondering how long they have been doing this fee thing because I can't imagine why something like the roof hasn't been remodeled. It's just financially irresponsible to use this money as a way to patch up issue as they come and to not totally remodel.
Story 2 had me ANGRY. The fact that his baby momma had to step in, explain things to HIM and then apologize FOR HIM and told OP to "talk to her if anything like this happens again" was INSANE. She's not in their relationship, why tf was she acting like his MOTHER? It was so so so weird! I'm so glad OP walked away.
The first story really grinds my gears as my husband is a stay at home dad and I work full time (we have a medically complex child and my job is EXTREMELY flexible with our needs for her) and we don’t believe in gender roles. Those who want to take on those roles, all power to you but don’t shame someone for not having those same beliefs. I was a stay at home for almost 2 years before I got my current job after having my daughter and my husband and I switched rolls when I found a job that could accommodate our needs for our daughter.
Listening to all these stories on reddit made me realize how different each situation is. So many elements account for how OP reacts and how they cope to move forward. It is absolutely crazy to me how people can easily try to manipulate their partner into something their not comfortable with. Hearing Morgan and the guest take on these stories gives me more insight on how to react and take control as a young adult. Sending lots love!
I had a ex boyfriend who had a family hunting shack. They all paid a yearly fee when they were over 18. However, children and guests weren't part of it. You're "membership" covered your guests. Having the membership structure is fine expecting a girlfriend to pay is unhinged.
I think the thing about the cabin is ... how would they handle hotel room feels or plane tickles or other travel expenses? They should just handle the cabin fee the same way. Theyre paying for their stay. Either he pays or she pays or they find something else to do every summer till they get married
@@audreyagbodjan5338 My boyfriends mother invites me to her cabin every summer. I've gone without him. When she visits us she stays with us. We pay for her food etc. Same thing when I stay with her. It's not a hotel she's staying with his family. I understand the idea of a family cabin with dues. I just think his family hasn't really considered how strict and not fair their rules are. I'd react the same way the girlfriend did. Im not paying 2-400 dollars for a family cabin until there is a ring on my finger and I'm family.
So my take on the family cabin is that I don't think it's weird that they all split the cost, but it is weird to expect the girlfriend to pay. My family has a similar situation with a cabin that my great grandpa built. It's now split amongst my grandma and her two other siblings. Anyone is welcome to use it but asked to help chip in with repair and maintenance. So for example, every time my mom goes to use the cabin she pays my grandma to help with the upkeep. I think that's fair, but we would never ask guests to pay. I don't even make my fiance pay when we go up. It's dumb to think that a girlfriend would pay into a family cabin like that
@@audreyagbodjan5338 this is exactly how I viewed it. At the end of the day, the $200 goes towards a product, the product in this case being a weekend at cabin on the lake. Air B&B would cost most likely the same without the added benefit of her being able to go up and use it at any point during the year. As for the rules Justin was going on about, these again sound like things Air B&B hosts ask to do anyway, just without being able to use the residence again without a cost. My partner and I split costs everytime we stay at a hotel, I don’t see this as any different as she’s still getting a room at a lakefront cabin. At the end of the day, she declined and I’m assuming won’t be going and that’s fine IMO. As long as the boyfriend isn’t forcing her to go and making her pay the $200, I don’t see a problem with how this ended up.
I feel like the first story is a baby trap. For him to leave with his family and not back his wife??? Also it’s her house and she makes more… he wants her home so he can be “over” her.
As an equestrian and lifetime horse owner it is so clear that those horses are so well taken care of I was nervous knowing that you had Horses at first because not everyone is super great at taking care of them and they’re difficult to take care of but kudos to you and your family for doing such a great job with those animals.
Justin had me rolling when he started listing the cabin rules! 😂 That was hilarious!! And then it kept going lol. Loved the episode. Loved the ponies. Loved the vibe and the banter. Much love to you both!
I didn’t think I could possibly love MorgeN more. But since I’ve seen her stinking adorable horses and how much she loves them I’m an even bigger fan. They’re all beautiful and I’m glad you showed us this part of your life
About the lock box story: I seriously think he might have some deep unresolved trauma around food. Food is a sensitive topic for a lot of people. Eating disorders, abusive parents, etc. can all leave lasting scars on one's relationship with food as an adult. However, if this is the case, he still needs to step up and get treatment for it on his own. Personally, I grew up with an older brother that had a black hole stomach. As a result, I became a defensive eater; I compulsively snack all the time as an adult because when I was a kid, I had to eat my fill before my brother got to it. I wonder if OP's boyfriend had the same issue.
My very first thought was that he has an undiagnosed eating disorder and he doesn't want to admit that to himself. But it's also very likely that he's on steroids as well.
I like the ambiance! The lighting and lack of shadow from the trough makes it look like you're Photoshopped in there so I wasn't sure if you were really there 😂
In the UK we get the same as Canada. I think the writer must be American, as I think maternity leave generally is about 6 weeks. (Correct me if I am wrong)

The fridge lock box is relatable I dated a guy who was 6’8 and I spent 200$ WEEK on groceries he ate EVERYTHING we broke up for other reason but the fact that he just didn’t care about me enough to leave me some food definitely added to the list
I could never, really Oh are you gonna break a relationship over food? We can live without an SO, not without food I’d rather be alone but with a full belly any day
I’m a horse girl so this was the best set up for me! Love your beautiful horses and both your open minded perspectives! Give your horses some kisses from me please! Hope you do another one like this soon! 😻🦄💕
I don’t usually comment but I LOVED this episode. It seriously made my shitty day so much better ❤️ giving love to you, Justin, DAD, and the ponies - you’ve got one hell of a supporter!
Honestly I kinda like the change of scenery. It was really cool and interesting to watch. Edit: my cat was watching the horses which was pretty cute to watch.
My uncle is a stay at home/work from home dad. He is the main caretaker and teaches a few online photography classes. His wife works outside of the house as an elementary school principal. It works so well for them!!
As someone who just recently was assaulted by their partner, yes it started with slamming doors but it was the substance abuse that made them get physical with me
@@terrabyte5847 I'm packing today, he's allowed on the property at midnight and we. Have a court date in November. I discovered that he has misappropriating our joint business funds to spend on his sex addiction and now I don't have enough money to pay our staff so the police have a lot more to work with.
I wish you all the best and hope that you are in a safe and happy new place soon. It's never easy and it takes so much time to work through even after they're gone, but you will get through it to the peace and security you deserve. 💜💜
I absolutely love this setup xD watching the horses try to hang out with you guys and check out your stuff while you’re talking is exactly what I needed today
My favorite podcast with horses in the background? Girl I clicked on this video so fast lol. Morgan, your ponies are adorable! There’s something about watching horses eating that’s so peaceful, makes my horse girl heart happy lol
i will never got over how perfect for a podcast morgan’s voice is.. so light so pretty like a lullaby like ugh her voice is as sweet as her personality and heart ❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
A fridge lockbox is an excellent idea. My husband is the same without being that childish. Big guy that works out a ton. They get pretty hungry and the brain is not turned on enough to know what 50% looks like. I made a rule that if I want one of my snacks and I find it gone, that he has to haul his butt over to the store to replace it immediately. It became so inconvenient to eat my snacks, or my half of the snacks, that it stopped. He now usually just goes to get more right after he finishes my food. Luckily we have our grocery store within walking distance, so I can enforce that rule. Update after the whole story: husband is not the same as this dude. I just meant the lighthearted snack thing. Geez that guy is unhinged.
Biologist here: to get rid of the pigeons you can place hawk decoys and also constantly place a hawk call from the barn. Also use chicken wire to wrap around the pockets in the barn that the pigeons use to nest in. Hope this helps!
First story: my thoughts are he feels now that you’re pregnant your “trapped” and he can be himself… he wouldn’t out of nowhere choose his family’s stuff after years unless that’s always been his thing and he’s just been hiding it…
The guy that destroyed the Macbook HAD to have had some sort of psychotic break. After 5 years and no sign of crazy violent behavior like that? Drugs for sure. And the story about the cabin fee--at first I was shook that you guys disagreed with it UNTIL I relistened and heard that it was $200-$400? For some reason I thought it was going to be a $10 a night type of fee which I wouldn't have minded if I was the girlfriend. What kind of repairs are you doing to the place that requires multiple family members to pitch in THAT much money? Wild. But very good episode!
More episodes with horses in the back please!💕 They’re my favorite animal and seeing my favorite podcast with them in the back is the best thing ever!!
i think morgan and justin are definitely my favorite duo on this podcast, besides from the guest episodes haha. super fun to see the horses at the beginning! it was so cute seeing them come up and interact with you guys
You don't get to claim "Man of the house" when you run to mommy whenever you don't get your way. That's a boy. That's a child. Men stand up for there home and women
The fee thing is really interesting. My whole family on my mom’s side owns a river house (also been in our family for generations) and when there’s renovations, everyone who owns a stake in it pays for it equally or one part pays for it fully and the other people in the family confiscates them. If it’s something small like a new book shelf added, we opt to pay for other stuff like groceries or gas for the boat or something else entirely. The fee thing seems complicated tbh and weird; I’ve never heard anything like that before. When we have guests over, they hardly pay for anything and family members are only required to clean the place up before they leave. If they use the boat, they have to leave at least a half a tank in gas. Guests don’t have to help but they usually do out of a courtesy when it comes to the cleaning part. But it’s never asked or expected of them.
My daughter introduced me to you guys earlier in the year and I have spent the past few months watching/listening from episode 1. So glad I did, you had an episode that touched on a woman whose husband wanted an open relationship and this aired at a time when my colleague/friend's world turned upside. Her boyfriend of 9 years said he wanted to introduce a 2nd woman to their relationship, needless to say, she is not that way inclined and was heartbroken, but THT gave me some good advice that I shared with her. Needless to say she told him how inadequate he made her feel, and she now see's it's just his narcissistic ego that he is trying to live up to. She told him she is moving out and moving on and he was genuinely shocked. He was controlling and shitty to her through lockdown chemo and then when she got the all clear he laid that on her. Thank you all soooo much you really should know how helpful you are 🥰 (love from the 🇬🇧)
I love this you guys!!! I’m going up to Duluth today, camping with my family- I love the Midwest and you’re representing it beautifully! I’m proud of you and love what you do!! From another midwest gal- keep up the good work!!
The story with the locked box is insane. She literally tried everything she could before resorting to locking HALF of the Snacks up. Sure, if my partner did this it would feel like they didn't trust me, but in this case that would be justified. Who for heaven's sake gets this upset about a small box in a fridge? Also the reaction after she moved out sadly reminds me of my ex boyfriend. He had absolutely no self esteem and felt like I was the only good thing about him. When I broke up with him, his world crumbled and he did literally anything he could think of to provoke a reaction from me. Sending hundreds of bizarre messages the same way this person did. Honestly this is a sign of mental illness, healthy people might be sad and distraught but not to the point where they start acting this irrationally. Thank God she dodged that bullet.
I was just recommended this video but oh my goshhhhh!!!! I love this one! The horses are such precious babies!!!! Those horses obviously ADORE both of their parents!!!!
Absolutely loved this Morgan! Hi from an Aussie horse girl. Listen to this while I’m training ponies, shoeing and haying out every day! I’m now caught up on ALL your past episodes and hanging every week
Morgan you did amazing with the sound / editing. I just kept marveling at how well the background noise was canceled out even though you’re outside at a FARM 👏
The conversation after the snack lock box story was so scary. I have a friend that’s in an abusive relationship and about a month ago she called to tell me she got out, and three days ago she sent videos of his baby bc now they’re back together and supposedly better than ever. I can’t do anything but stick with her in case she needs me but I’m so terrified I’ll have to attend her funeral because of him. Scary to know I’ll probably go through this six more times with her, but it has me determined to stick with her even more. Edit: I in no way am saying this is harder for me than for her or that I’m such a hero for caring about her I’m simply stating that the information provided is scary for the reality of the people you love going through that situation. Scary for me on the outside, terrifying for her on the inside.
I'm playing catch-up on all the THT content but Justin is legit my favorite co-host aside from Dad! ♥️ Thanks for your amazing videos that help me get through my days.
im in love with the horses :0 also im sure its hard to find storys to fit a theme but i have two themes i want to recommend 1- op arguing in the comment section 2- stories with more than one or two updates
Love how the horses just come check in on them once in a while then wander off like “yup, they’re fine.” Like they’re not entirely sure what these two people are doing hanging out in the pasture with an overturned water trough and talking. 😂😂
Love this episode! What beautiful babies 😍 that Palomino is GORGEOUS🍯, loved that it looked like she was listening so intently. You can tell how amazingly they’re taken care of and loved. Can’t wait to be able to go to a live show in person. Much love 💗🐴
1) I literally thought the horses were a green screen the sound quality is so good 2) men in general really need to pull it together because Justin can’t handle the stress of being affiliated with y’all

I love that there showing other parts of there life, just another reason why I love this podcast
Horses running into the camera and Justin chasing after them was the best 😂
as soon as i saw a horse and i knew morgan was going to be in her element i’m excited for this episode
One huge thing with the cannibus wedding that wasn’t brought up was when the girlfriend asked what he was doing with the kids, he said they would only have them for the ceremony. So if his sister (babysitter) fell through, what was the plan for the reception? He definitely wouldn’t have had a plan and either made his gf leave or force his family to stay for the reception. So many lies.
I caught this too and was instantly wary. Red flag on red flag.
He absolutely only said that to get her in the car...smh
I am a long time listener and I am just so disappointed with this episode I just think that if you don’t have children that maybe that’s I don’t know I guess maybe not a good topic but like just the way that you guys are bashing I am just so disappointed I am so so so disappointed in you guys I definitely will be taking a step back and no longer listening
@@andrewstephanie6232 are you op’s boyfriend?
@@nicole.fisher 😂😂 i have kids and i 100% agree. The bashing was necessary
So cool to meet your horses!! This is an amazing setup, and I actually really enjoy the horse/outside noises in the background
The cabin family sounds like the most not fun family to be around. 100% agree with Justin they probably have so many rules🙄
I think the fee thing is fine for the family. But this girl invited her friend so it should be her responsibility to cover the fee. Or she could have told her friend as soon as she told her to come. My fiancés grandparents just celebrated their 55th anniversary, and we’re having a celebration. They asked my fiancé to bring me. But they were kind enough to offer to pay for our flights. My fiancé always pays for my flights if he’s asking me to do something with his family.
ridiculous and inspirational posters like justin said 😆
with the cabin story, it makes more sense for the family to pay because that cabin will be left to them and they will use it throughout the years so it’s an investment for their future property, she won’t get anything back
How I saw it, take the family ownership out of the equation. She’s paying $200 for a weekend which would be a running rate of an Air B&B at a cabin on the lake during the summer with the added benefit of being able to comeback with the BF (or on her own) as many times as she wants to during the year. Chances are, with a large family that the BF might not even see any benefit of the cabin either so I don’t see an issue with guests paying as long as they have the option to decline going and not pay which is what it sounded like happened here. I know I’m in the minority but I don’t see a problem with it.
Yes, but with an arb&b you get to pick or choose and you can demand since you are getting a product/ service, and also you can divide the fee among the guests. I can only imagine when they have to change the roofing or upgrade the plumbing piping 😂 $3K per person
With the lake house story, I feel like it would actually be cheaper if the whole family pitched in to completely remodel the house instead of paying an annual fee… once the house is updated the maintenance will be less since everything is new and in working order and then also allows the grandparents to properly rent it out to strangers for a higher price
Honestly though so my family doesn’t have a cabin or anything but my grandmother lives on a farm and family visit and stay there a lot especially if they are going through something like struggling financially or health they’ll live with my Nan on the farm and few years ago the farm basically needed a whole overhaul and my Nan is now too old to work the farm and so all my mums siblings all sat down together figured out how much it was gonna cost to fix up the farm and hire new staff and paid it and got it working really well so they don’t have to keep fixing it and my grandmother wouldn’t dream of charging people to come stay
That’s what I was thinking! Just figure out how much it will take to make the cabin good as new and everyone split the cost and be done with it.
What weirds me out is that everyone in the family who was already going to the cabin is going…so shouldn’t they have already hit their goal to pay for repairs? Why do they need guests to pay? Are they planning on breaking the roof again???
@@KeyKeyJay EXACTLY! I was wondering how long they have been doing this fee thing because I can't imagine why something like the roof hasn't been remodeled. It's just financially irresponsible to use this money as a way to patch up issue as they come and to not totally remodel.
It gives me the feeling that the part of the family getting the money is greedy
@@blackgirlmagiccthis. Is. How. It’s. Supposed. To. Be. This. Just. This. Thank. You.
Story 2 had me ANGRY. The fact that his baby momma had to step in, explain things to HIM and then apologize FOR HIM and told OP to "talk to her if anything like this happens again" was INSANE. She's not in their relationship, why tf was she acting like his MOTHER? It was so so so weird! I'm so glad OP walked away.
The first story really grinds my gears as my husband is a stay at home dad and I work full time (we have a medically complex child and my job is EXTREMELY flexible with our needs for her) and we don’t believe in gender roles. Those who want to take on those roles, all power to you but don’t shame someone for not having those same beliefs. I was a stay at home for almost 2 years before I got my current job after having my daughter and my husband and I switched rolls when I found a job that could accommodate our needs for our daughter.
Me seeing the thumbnail: there is no way this is real, there is absolutely no way they have Morgan’s ponies with them.
Me watching: ahh there is way
And there is hay
I’m listening while doing barn chores… feels like a bit of inception! 😂
Omg! Haha
Listening to all these stories on reddit made me realize how different each situation is. So many elements account for how OP reacts and how they cope to move forward. It is absolutely crazy to me how people can easily try to manipulate their partner into something their not comfortable with. Hearing Morgan and the guest take on these stories gives me more insight on how to react and take control as a young adult. Sending lots love!
I had a ex boyfriend who had a family hunting shack. They all paid a yearly fee when they were over 18. However, children and guests weren't part of it. You're "membership" covered your guests. Having the membership structure is fine expecting a girlfriend to pay is unhinged.
I think the thing about the cabin is ... how would they handle hotel room feels or plane tickles or other travel expenses? They should just handle the cabin fee the same way. Theyre paying for their stay. Either he pays or she pays or they find something else to do every summer till they get married
@@audreyagbodjan5338 My boyfriends mother invites me to her cabin every summer. I've gone without him. When she visits us she stays with us. We pay for her food etc. Same thing when I stay with her. It's not a hotel she's staying with his family. I understand the idea of a family cabin with dues. I just think his family hasn't really considered how strict and not fair their rules are. I'd react the same way the girlfriend did. Im not paying 2-400 dollars for a family cabin until there is a ring on my finger and I'm family.
@@kristinaerickson2353 true honestly I wouldn't either but ig I see how it could be reasonable
So my take on the family cabin is that I don't think it's weird that they all split the cost, but it is weird to expect the girlfriend to pay. My family has a similar situation with a cabin that my great grandpa built. It's now split amongst my grandma and her two other siblings. Anyone is welcome to use it but asked to help chip in with repair and maintenance. So for example, every time my mom goes to use the cabin she pays my grandma to help with the upkeep. I think that's fair, but we would never ask guests to pay. I don't even make my fiance pay when we go up. It's dumb to think that a girlfriend would pay into a family cabin like that
@@audreyagbodjan5338 this is exactly how I viewed it. At the end of the day, the $200 goes towards a product, the product in this case being a weekend at cabin on the lake. Air B&B would cost most likely the same without the added benefit of her being able to go up and use it at any point during the year.
As for the rules Justin was going on about, these again sound like things Air B&B hosts ask to do anyway, just without being able to use the residence again without a cost.
My partner and I split costs everytime we stay at a hotel, I don’t see this as any different as she’s still getting a room at a lakefront cabin.
At the end of the day, she declined and I’m assuming won’t be going and that’s fine IMO. As long as the boyfriend isn’t forcing her to go and making her pay the $200, I don’t see a problem with how this ended up.
I feel like the first story is a baby trap. For him to leave with his family and not back his wife??? Also it’s her house and she makes more… he wants her home so he can be “over” her.
Ok but your horses are all beautifully built. They look fit, healthy, and so happy with each other
As an equestrian and lifetime horse owner it is so clear that those horses are so well taken care of I was nervous knowing that you had Horses at first because not everyone is super great at taking care of them and they’re difficult to take care of but kudos to you and your family for doing such a great job with those animals.
Justin had me rolling when he started listing the cabin rules! 😂 That was hilarious!! And then it kept going lol. Loved the episode. Loved the ponies. Loved the vibe and the banter. Much love to you both!
Justin running around moving the horses is my favorite part.
I was fully convinced that this was a green screen until justin touched one of the horses 😂
“Omg she literally just tooted at our faces”
Morgan is the cutest
I didn’t think I could possibly love MorgeN more. But since I’ve seen her stinking adorable horses and how much she loves them I’m an even bigger fan. They’re all beautiful and I’m glad you showed us this part of your life
I’m OBSESSED with the set up! Honey
Is so pretty, the horses make such a gorgeous backdrop
When Justin was like "but I'm the plus one a lot 🥺" I died lmao! Love you guys!
There’s no way this isn’t a green screen! The audio is perfect!
I have no idea how our mics worked so well! The bloopers on instagram show how loud the road noise was at some points 😂
If y’all never pet the horses i would 100% think we were getting pranked 😂
About the lock box story:
I seriously think he might have some deep unresolved trauma around food. Food is a sensitive topic for a lot of people. Eating disorders, abusive parents, etc. can all leave lasting scars on one's relationship with food as an adult. However, if this is the case, he still needs to step up and get treatment for it on his own. Personally, I grew up with an older brother that had a black hole stomach. As a result, I became a defensive eater; I compulsively snack all the time as an adult because when I was a kid, I had to eat my fill before my brother got to it. I wonder if OP's boyfriend had the same issue.
I thought maybe he was on steroids bc then that would explain the sudden switch and anger. He is working out and building as she mentioned but idk
He might also have binge eating disorder, but I feel like i’m that case he wouldn’t be mad at her for getting the lock box?
My very first thought was that he has an undiagnosed eating disorder and he doesn't want to admit that to himself. But it's also very likely that he's on steroids as well.
@@mrlnttt my thought too. Steroids 100%. Nobody should have a reaction like that to something so benign.
Yep! First thing i thought was sterioids + eating disorder
I like the ambiance! The lighting and lack of shadow from the trough makes it look like you're Photoshopped in there so I wasn't sure if you were really there 😂
I’m Canadian and literally can’t believe she was excited about 8 weeks. I am also an addictions counsellor, mat leave is 12-18 months
In the UK we get the same as Canada. I think the writer must be American, as I think maternity leave generally is about 6 weeks. (Correct me if I am wrong)
@@josie5122 Sweden has 480 days. So 240 for each parent. One parent can give up to 180days to the other parent.
Wow that great for Sweden. I think in the UK you can give maternity leave to your patner as well:)
@@josie5122 Poland has 32 weeks of parental leave..
Regardless, I believe that parents should have longer leave during the first year, considering how much care a newborn requires.
I lived in Arizona, USA when I gave birth to my son and I was “lucky” to get 12 weeks unpaid maternity leave. They could’ve given me less 🙃🙃
As a recovering ❤️🩹 addict, we can’t afford to lose our counselors. Please keep doing what you love. Also we all appreciate you! And I’m sure if you leave, all of ur patient will miss you.
The fridge lock box is relatable I dated a guy who was 6’8 and I spent 200$ WEEK on groceries he ate EVERYTHING we broke up for other reason but the fact that he just didn’t care about me enough to leave me some food definitely added to the list
I could never, really
Oh are you gonna break a relationship over food?
We can live without an SO, not without food
I’d rather be alone but with a full belly any day
I’m a horse girl so this was the best set up for me! Love your beautiful horses and both your open minded perspectives! Give your horses some kisses from me please! Hope you do another one like this soon! 😻🦄💕
I don’t usually comment but I LOVED this episode. It seriously made my shitty day so much better ❤️ giving love to you, Justin, DAD, and the ponies - you’ve got one hell of a supporter!
Honestly I kinda like the change of scenery. It was really cool and interesting to watch.
Edit: my cat was watching the horses which was pretty cute to watch.
The way Justin’s face completely changes during the fridge lockbox story!!! Obviously Justin is and always has been a real one
My uncle is a stay at home/work from home dad. He is the main caretaker and teaches a few online photography classes. His wife works outside of the house as an elementary school principal. It works so well for them!!
As someone who just recently was assaulted by their partner, yes it started with slamming doors but it was the substance abuse that made them get physical with me
I hope you got out. There is no excuse for someone to get physical with another person. 💙💙
@@terrabyte5847 I'm packing today, he's allowed on the property at midnight and we. Have a court date in November. I discovered that he has misappropriating our joint business funds to spend on his sex addiction and now I don't have enough money to pay our staff so the police have a lot more to work with.
@@L3onking hoping for the best for you. Stay safe. 💙💙
@@terrabyte5847 thank you so much I'll do everything in my power to stay far away from him
I wish you all the best and hope that you are in a safe and happy new place soon. It's never easy and it takes so much time to work through even after they're gone, but you will get through it to the peace and security you deserve. 💜💜
episodes like this are the reason why this has become one of my favorite podcasts. unapologetically being themselves and i love it.
I absolutely love this setup xD watching the horses try to hang out with you guys and check out your stuff while you’re talking is exactly what I needed today
My favorite podcast with horses in the background? Girl I clicked on this video so fast lol. Morgan, your ponies are adorable! There’s something about watching horses eating that’s so peaceful, makes my horse girl heart happy lol
i will never got over how perfect for a podcast morgan’s voice is.. so light so pretty like a lullaby like ugh her voice is as sweet as her personality and heart ❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
I always love Justin’s reactions while Morgan reads the stories, especially when it’s a particularly batshit story🤣
Justin getting passionate about how stupid weed weddings boyfriend is. is absolutely the most top tier reaction
A fridge lockbox is an excellent idea. My husband is the same without being that childish. Big guy that works out a ton. They get pretty hungry and the brain is not turned on enough to know what 50% looks like. I made a rule that if I want one of my snacks and I find it gone, that he has to haul his butt over to the store to replace it immediately. It became so inconvenient to eat my snacks, or my half of the snacks, that it stopped. He now usually just goes to get more right after he finishes my food. Luckily we have our grocery store within walking distance, so I can enforce that rule.
Update after the whole story: husband is not the same as this dude. I just meant the lighthearted snack thing. Geez that guy is unhinged.
Absolute love the update lol. Glad you and your husband have a good system going :)
I love the farm/water troff setup... I'm not really a country girl but I love seeing Morgan here she looks so happy and at home.
Loved the horses in the background, i had to give up mine due to covid, and been missing them so much lately.
Awh I'm so sorry you had to do that :/
Justin’s commentary this episode was gold 😭❤️❤️
Biologist here: to get rid of the pigeons you can place hawk decoys and also constantly place a hawk call from the barn. Also use chicken wire to wrap around the pockets in the barn that the pigeons use to nest in. Hope this helps!
Ok I’m obsessed with these crazy episodes, full on geckos or outside with horses, I’m absolutely here for it
First story: my thoughts are he feels now that you’re pregnant your “trapped” and he can be himself… he wouldn’t out of nowhere choose his family’s stuff after years unless that’s always been his thing and he’s just been hiding it…
Holy fuck... the sheer range of MISSILES that lockbox lady dodged. I wish her only the best and I hope that she is safe and happy.
I loved the outdoors background and the ponies. The sound and quality was still so amazing
It’s like the horses are reacting to the stories 😂
Morgan seems so relaxed in this! Glad to see a fellow Midwest girl loving her roots!
when i came over from spotify to see the set up this is not what i expected and i freaking love it
The cannabis themed wedding, why did he think he could bring kids to that???? He knew what he was doing he didn't want to go to that wedding.
Please do more podcasts with the horses! It's so relaxing!
The first story the husband and his family also sound like the type of people who would consider him watching his own kids babysitting
Omg I literally thought this was a green screen!! How is the lighting so good and there are no shadows on y’all!?! I’m shook!!
The guy that destroyed the Macbook HAD to have had some sort of psychotic break. After 5 years and no sign of crazy violent behavior like that? Drugs for sure. And the story about the cabin fee--at first I was shook that you guys disagreed with it UNTIL I relistened and heard that it was $200-$400? For some reason I thought it was going to be a $10 a night type of fee which I wouldn't have minded if I was the girlfriend. What kind of repairs are you doing to the place that requires multiple family members to pitch in THAT much money? Wild. But very good episode!
I totally missheard at first too I thought it was 200 for the whole family for the week and they split it between everyone...
I feel like the guy that ruined the MacBook may have been using steroids
More episodes with horses in the back please!💕 They’re my favorite animal and seeing my favorite podcast with them in the back is the best thing ever!!
i think morgan and justin are definitely my favorite duo on this podcast, besides from the guest episodes haha. super fun to see the horses at the beginning! it was so cute seeing them come up and interact with you guys
You don't get to claim "Man of the house" when you run to mommy whenever you don't get your way. That's a boy. That's a child. Men stand up for there home and women
YESS! This comment!
The sad truth is that this is a man. A full grown adult. Calling him a child downplays what he did
I have the most absurd love for pigeons….they make me so happy 😂
Justin is my favorite reoccurring co-host. Love when he is on!
The fee thing is really interesting. My whole family on my mom’s side owns a river house (also been in our family for generations) and when there’s renovations, everyone who owns a stake in it pays for it equally or one part pays for it fully and the other people in the family confiscates them. If it’s something small like a new book shelf added, we opt to pay for other stuff like groceries or gas for the boat or something else entirely. The fee thing seems complicated tbh and weird; I’ve never heard anything like that before. When we have guests over, they hardly pay for anything and family members are only required to clean the place up before they leave. If they use the boat, they have to leave at least a half a tank in gas. Guests don’t have to help but they usually do out of a courtesy when it comes to the cleaning part. But it’s never asked or expected of them.
My daughter introduced me to you guys earlier in the year and I have spent the past few months watching/listening from episode 1. So glad I did, you had an episode that touched on a woman whose husband wanted an open relationship and this aired at a time when my colleague/friend's world turned upside. Her boyfriend of 9 years said he wanted to introduce a 2nd woman to their relationship, needless to say, she is not that way inclined and was heartbroken, but THT gave me some good advice that I shared with her. Needless to say she told him how inadequate he made her feel, and she now see's it's just his narcissistic ego that he is trying to live up to. She told him she is moving out and moving on and he was genuinely shocked. He was controlling and shitty to her through lockdown chemo and then when she got the all clear he laid that on her. Thank you all soooo much you really should know how helpful you are 🥰 (love from the 🇬🇧)
I'm loving the chaos. I'm allergic to horses so this is my best experience with them
I love that this came out same day as my horse got trimmed and we got a set of puppy sisters to foster. Feels like a well rounded day now. ❤
Mine got theirs trimmed the day after! Look at us
I love this you guys!!! I’m going up to Duluth today, camping with my family- I love the Midwest and you’re representing it beautifully! I’m proud of you and love what you do!! From another midwest gal- keep up the good work!!
The story with the locked box is insane. She literally tried everything she could before resorting to locking HALF of the Snacks up. Sure, if my partner did this it would feel like they didn't trust me, but in this case that would be justified. Who for heaven's sake gets this upset about a small box in a fridge?
Also the reaction after she moved out sadly reminds me of my ex boyfriend. He had absolutely no self esteem and felt like I was the only good thing about him. When I broke up with him, his world crumbled and he did literally anything he could think of to provoke a reaction from me. Sending hundreds of bizarre messages the same way this person did. Honestly this is a sign of mental illness, healthy people might be sad and distraught but not to the point where they start acting this irrationally. Thank God she dodged that bullet.
Aren't the two gorgeous chester and chrome chestnuts?
You have STUNNING geegees ahhhhhhhh love this please do on the farm again!!
i started listening to this on spotify and felt left out when you started introducing the ponies and switched to youtube 😭
I was just recommended this video but oh my goshhhhh!!!! I love this one! The horses are such precious babies!!!! Those horses obviously ADORE both of their parents!!!!
Absolutely loved this Morgan! Hi from an Aussie horse girl. Listen to this while I’m training ponies, shoeing and haying out every day! I’m now caught up on ALL your past episodes and hanging every week
Honestly wish the horses were a thing like every week, please do this more often! They’re so cute!
Ever since you brought up the horses I've been dying for an episode with them. This made my night thank you guys ❤️
Morgan you did amazing with the sound / editing. I just kept marveling at how well the background noise was canceled out even though you’re outside at a FARM 👏
The conversation after the snack lock box story was so scary. I have a friend that’s in an abusive relationship and about a month ago she called to tell me she got out, and three days ago she sent videos of his baby bc now they’re back together and supposedly better than ever. I can’t do anything but stick with her in case she needs me but I’m so terrified I’ll have to attend her funeral because of him. Scary to know I’ll probably go through this six more times with her, but it has me determined to stick with her even more.
Edit: I in no way am saying this is harder for me than for her or that I’m such a hero for caring about her I’m simply stating that the information provided is scary for the reality of the people you love going through that situation. Scary for me on the outside, terrifying for her on the inside.
I'm playing catch-up on all the THT content but Justin is legit my favorite co-host aside from Dad! ♥️ Thanks for your amazing videos that help me get through my days.
Literally never been this early love the set up for this video and the horses are absolutely adorable💛
im in love with the horses :0 also im sure its hard to find storys to fit a theme but i have two themes i want to recommend 1- op arguing in the comment section 2- stories with more than one or two updates
Love it 😍 beautiful barn and horses
I honestly love the cozy vibes in the castify ad. It made me feel like I had a good pony day out then a cozy night in
Yes..yes..yes.. I love this set up!! I can do more Minnesota setups. The horses 🐎 are beautiful!! What a great idea for the episode.
Horses do not make you dorky. This is magnificent! Love it!
Love how the horses just come check in on them once in a while then wander off like “yup, they’re fine.” Like they’re not entirely sure what these two people are doing hanging out in the pasture with an overturned water trough and talking. 😂😂
The absolute SHADE on that Horse's face when he flipped the empty bucket over 🤣🤣🤣
Love this episode! What beautiful babies 😍 that Palomino is GORGEOUS🍯, loved that it looked like she was listening so intently. You can tell how amazingly they’re taken care of and loved. Can’t wait to be able to go to a live show in person. Much love 💗🐴
1) I literally thought the horses were a green screen the sound quality is so good
2) men in general really need to pull it together because Justin can’t handle the stress of being affiliated with y’all
I am here for the set . Love this you guys . Love it So relaxing and calm
